Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus in New Year’s Eve special

Miley Cyrus will ring in 2023 with Dolly Parton by her side for NBC’s annual New Year’s Eve special.

The pop star broke the news with a cute Instagram post, “#NewYearNewCohost @dollyparton.”

NBC also shared a fun promotional video of Cyrus and Parton on the network’s official Instagram page, in which the former states, “Miley’s New Year’s Eve party is about getting glamorous and dressing your best.”

Set to air December 31 live from Miami, the sophomore outing of Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party will mark the second straight year Cyrus has lorded over NBC’s year-end festivities.

Will there be Tangled 2?

It’s been over a decade since Disney re-introduced audiences to the story of Rapunzel in Tangled. Though the animated movie had a definitive ending, it could have a follow-up. When producer Roy Conli was asked if it’s possible, he didn’t say no.

Byron Howard, one of the directors on it, when asked the same question, said. “We love that character. But he feels as a storyteller. He’s told the tale. So we’ll see, we’ll see. Stranger things have happened.”

That’s not exactly a yes either, anything can happen! In the first adventure movie, Rapunzel is a Disney princess with magical hair that can stop the ageing process. She’s kept locked up in a tower by her mother, the queen, who’s using her to maintain eternal youth.

All about Spider-Man 4

Insatiable fans of Spider-Man have started wondering when, and indeed if, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of Wallcrawler will return.

Spider-Man 4 hasn’t been officially greenlit yet and it didn’t even get a mention during Marvel’s San Diego Comic-Con panel. But producer Kevin Feige has since backed, telling that conversations have already begun between Sony and Disney.

“Amy [Pascal] and I, and Disney and Sony, are talking about [the next movie],” Feige explained. “Yes, we’re actively beginning to develop where the story heads next, which I only say outright because I don’t want fans to go through any separation trauma like what happened after Far From Home. That will not be occurring this time.”

An untitled Marvel movie is set for release on June 7, 2024, so all the Spidey fans out there, keep your fingers crossed as we might get the news of Spider Man 4 soon.
