But a growing fan theory circulating on social media, dubbed “Conformity Gate,” suggests the ending viewers saw wasn’t the real one. In fact, some believe another episode is coming later this week. In Episode 8, the Hawkins crew devises a final plan to enter the Upside Down, rescue the kidnapped children and defeat Vecna once and for all. Despite major obstacles — including the military discovering and interfering with their mission and Kali’s death — they locate Vecna’s lair deep in the Abyss, inside the Pain Tree, which is revealed to be the Mind Flayer itself. With Eleven entering the Mind Flayer’s body to confront Vecna from within, the rest of the group attacks the monster from the outside. Will taps into the hive mind one last time to save Eleven and help her push Vecna’s body into a massive spike. Joyce delivers the killing blow, chopping off his head with an axe after he “f—ed with the wrong family.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After fueling internet rumors that he had secretly taken up the rap alter-ego EsDeeKid, the Marty Supreme actor put the speculation to rest by making a surprise cameo alongside the musician in a remix video for the song “4 Raws,” where he added his own verse—complete with a lyrical reference to his girlfriend’s staggering net worth. “It’s Timothée Chalamet chillin’, tryin’ to stack $100 million,” he rapped on the track released Dec. 19, adding, “[My] girl got $1 billion.” Despite the musical hat tip, Timothée, 29, has avoided sharing details about his romance with Kylie, 28, notably declining to discuss the relationship during a recent interview.

Broadway's The Queen of Versailles will play its final performance January 4, 2026 at the St. James Theatre. The show is the first to announce closing on the first Sunday after the Christmas-New Year's holidays, historically "Black Sunday" on the Main Stem. The closing notice is an abrupt end for the latest Broadway outing from Wicked luminaries Stephen Schwartz (who wrote the new musical's songs) and Kristin Chenoweth (who's starring and co-producing). The musical began first previews on October 8 and opened November 9; read the reviews here. Despite a mixed critical reception, the show had been performing well at the box office, making over $1 million a week post opening—making today's closing notice a surprise.

Last episode, on Nov. 18, was Prince Night and the semifinals. Each couple performed two dances to some of the music icon's most legendary hits. The first dance was in a style they had not yet tackled this season, and the other was a repeat style that allowed them to show the judges and audience how far they've come. At the end of the night, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Whitney Leavitt and pro Mark Ballas were sent home in a shocking elimination. Leavitt had been receiving high scores throughout the season, but unfortunately did not get the necessary votes needed from the audience to make it to the finale. Learn more about your ad choices.

Created by Ryan Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken, All’s Fair premieres on streaming on Hulu on Tuesday with the series’ first three episodes. The official summary for All’s Fair reads, “A team of female divorce attorneys leaves a male-dominated firm to open their own powerhouse practice. Fierce, brilliant and emotionally complicated, they navigate high-stakes breakups, scandalous secrets and shifting allegiances — both in the courtroom and within their own ranks. “In a world where money talks and love is a battleground, these women don’t just play the game — they change it."

What was Jared Leto doing up there, greeting his public like some interstellar overlord? Drumming up excitement for his latest blockbuster release, of course. The stunt was straight out of the Leto playbook — involving bombast, tall buildings and shoulder-length hair jostled by the elements — but didn’t succeed at its primary mission: driving audiences to theaters.
