The film is produced by and stars Jennifer Lawrence, whose character Maddie is on the verge of losing her childhood home. While at work one day, Maddie discovers a job listing posted by parents looking for a potential suitor for their 19-year-old son, Percy, before he leaves for college. Chaos ensues from there.

As for Ice Spice, the Bronx-bred rap star is preparing to collaborate with Taylor Swift on a remix to her 2022 track, “Karma.” The song is expected to drop on Friday (May 26).

Lizzo has also been making waves. The flute-wielding pop star recently jammed out with Lisa Simpson while making her “dream” cameo in The Simpsons.
