Epic Records chairperson Sylvia Rhone revealed the news in a recent story with Billboard when she was asked what the industry can expect from Epic in 2023. “We have a new Travis Scott record, expected to come in June,” she answered.  

“Utopia” will mark Scott’s first studio album since 2018’s “Astroworld,” critically and commercially considered as one of the best hip-hop album of the year. 


Lindsay Lohan steps out in Dubai

Lindsay Lohan steps out in Dubai

DUBAI: Dubai-based Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan was spotted in the city this week alongside her husband, Kuwaiti financier Bader Shammas, as the couple stepped out in coordinated black looks.

Lohan was wearing a sleek black long-sleeved mini dress with a high neckline and softly draped silhouette, featuring gathered ruching across the skirt with a tie detail at the waist. She paired the look with pointed black heels and kept her accessories minimal, opting for delicate earrings and a statement ring from Italian fine jewelry label Bijouq.

The couple were attending the opening of Japanese restaurant Nobu’s new outpost at One Za’abeel.

Lohan has been based in Dubai for more than 10 years, where she has built a quieter, more private life away from Hollywood.

She married Shammas in 2022, and the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Luai, in 2023.

The actress has since continued to balance family life in the UAE with her acting career, including her recent return to film and television projects.

Lohan most recently starred in “Freakier Friday,” the Disney sequel to “Freaky Friday,” which was released in August 2025 and marked her return to theatrical film acting alongside Jamie Lee Curtis.

It follows another body-swap chaos — this time across generations. Lohan and Lee Curtis return as Anna and Tess, but the story expands to include Anna’s own daughter, creating a multi-generational switch that complicates family dynamics even further.

The film explores motherhood, identity and how perspectives change as roles reverse again.

Lohan is also set to star in and executive-produce the Hulu limited series “Count My Lies,” an adaptation of Sophie Stava’s novel that is currently in development and marks one of her first major television roles.

She will play Violet Lockhart alongside co-lead Shailene Woodley, who stars as Sloane Caraway, a compulsive liar whose small deceptions land her a job as a nanny for the seemingly perfect Lockhart family. Kit Harington has also joined the cast in a leading role.

 

As Sloane becomes increasingly entangled in Violet and her husband Jay’s world, hidden secrets begin to unravel, revealing dangerous truths beneath the family’s polished exterior. The series does not yet have an official release date.
