The stars of tomorrow, three topics of discussion, a punk album, an ole ole robbery, rockettes who no longer dance and a pop icon

A list of new stars to follow very closely according to the American magazine Variety.

Every year, the first week of August, the American show-business bible highlights young talents. They can come from movie music or social media, and in general, Variety's choices are quite stunning. The actor Thimothée Chalamet, the cast of the series "Stranger Things" or the singer Billie Eillish were part of it. And this year the list is once again eclectic and surprising. It was unveiled this Wednesday. We meet among others the tiktokeuse Charli d'Amélio, the drag queen Aquaria or the singer Dua Lipa. But three new stars are really doing well. Variety advises us to carefully follow the career of young Shira Haas, an actress who was discovered during confinement with the series "Unorthodox" on Netflix. It is true that she was simply beautiful. Another new star to be greeted by the magazine: Colombian singer Maluma .. And finally, rapper Meghan Thee Stallion.

Three loose news.

Information not necessarily essential but which will allow you to start a conversation later at the coffee machine at your workplace or tonight when you go to dinner with your friends.

Sean Penn, 59, has just married 28-year-old actress Leila George. The union was celebrated through the Zoom app. Only three guests participated in this videoconference wedding.

Nicolas Sarkozy is at the top of sales this week with his book "Le temps des tempêtes". He is closely followed by writers Joel Dicker, Guillaume Musso and Cyril Lignac who respectively obtain 2nd, 3rd and 4th place in the ranking according to Livres Hebdo.

After a 30-year hiatus, the series "Madame est served" will make a comeback. It was Tony Danza, alias Tony Miccelli, who announced it this Wednesday on his Twitter account. Alyssa Mylano, who played her daughter Samantha in the series, will also be there.

An English group which is making a lot of talk at the moment: the "DC Fountains". 

This group is made up of five boys who come from Ireland, Dublin more precisely. Since their first album released last year, they have become somewhat of the new darlings of the music press. Their thing is rock. We can even speak of a "post-punk" style. They have energy to spare. The production of the album is ultra-raw. And at the same time, we are not at all in the demonstrative. There is an aridity but also something very chiseled in their music. It is quite impressive. Their album is called "A Hero's Death". They have calmed down a bit compared to their previous album but it's still very, very invigorating. 

In Paris, fans of the "Casa de Papel" will finally be able to carry out the robbery of their dreams.

It's a role-playing game that was planned for April but had to be postponed due to confinement. If you are intrepid like Tokyo or Berlin or if your thing is to run everything with panache like the Professor, this news should delight you. Next October, the prestigious Monnaie de Paris will serve as the backdrop for an Escape Game inspired by the Netflix series. At the turn of this robbery, you will probably meet, finally in a virtual way, the actors of "La Casa de Papel" who participated in the development of the project. The experience will last one hour and tickets will be on sale at feverup.com. The ticket office opens on August 18. But beware, there are already people on the waiting list so good luck getting your entry ticket! In the meantime, you can still make yourself a mask with Salvador Dali's famous mustaches since it will obviously be necessary to respect the sanitary instructions. And for your information, the creators of the series have just announced that the fifth season of Casa de Papel, currently in filming, will also be the last.

In New York, the Rockettes will not be dancing this winter.

The Rockettes are an institution in the United States. Imagine, it's a bit like the dancers at the Moulin Rouge but with a little less French Cancan and a lot more American-style entertainment. They sing, they dance, they dress up. Their choreographies are quite spectacular. Every year, at Christmas, the Rockettes meet New Yorkers in the prestigious Madison Square Garden room. Over 75 million Americans have seen a Rockettes show since the company was founded in 1933. And again this year, the Rockettes were scheduled to perform from November 6 to January 3. Yes but now, the show is canceled. Whose fault is it ? You'll never Gess. Once again, this damn coronavirus is to blame. And obviously this change of program has calamitous consequences: the company which manages the Rockettes has in fact just announced 350 layoffs, or a third of its workforce. New Yorkers will therefore have to wait until 2021 to find their favorite dancers. This is the first time in 87 years of existence that a Rockettes show has been canceled. 

Someone who wants to dance with you.

It was a project that had been announced for some time but this time, it is starting to take shape very seriously. Sony Pictures studios have just confirmed that they will distribute the film dedicated to the both incredible and tragic life of the absolute pop icon: Whitney Houston. The screenplay will be signed by a specialist in the genre: Anthony MacCarten. It was he who wrote "Bohemian Rhapsody", the film dedicated to the group Queen. The film should be released in the fall of 2022. And the title of this biopic uses one of Whitney's hits: "I Wanna Dance With Somebody".
