It’s been a big week for PinkPantheress, who made a surprise appearance as a contestant on the BBC trivia show The Weakest Link Saturday night. The show’s premise is that the group of contestants take turns answering general knowledge questions, collectively trying to answer as many consecutive questions as possible in a row. At the end of each round, the “weakest link” of the team is voted out. I won’t spoil how the episode ends, but from the clips going around online, it looks like Pink did well; her fellow contestants included comedians Alex Brooker and Harriet Kemsley, choir director Gareth Malone, and Love Island alum Luca Bish. See for yourself below.

It’s been almost three years since Lana Del Rey’s last record, Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd. That’s an appropriate amount of time, but the singer started teasing its followup in 2024, when she announced Lasso, slated for release that year. She released the Quavo collab “Tough,” gave several updates, got married to alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene, then renamed the LP The Right Person Will Stay and gave it a release date of May 21, 2025. She shared “Henry, Come On,” postponed it indefinitely, then shared “Bluebird.” In August 2025, she said the album would be called Stove, and she was aiming to release it at the end of January. Now she’s back with another update.
