Quinta Brunson — creator, executive producer, and star of the hit comedy Abbott Elementary — could moonlight as a tour guide. She meets me at the Warner Bros. Television building on a crisp day in April. The building, tucked behind bushes and an open-air set of a quaint city street, is boxy and drab, one of the least magnificent structures I see on the massive lot. And yet Brunson has a way of showing its hidden magic. Flanked by a publicist and a studio rep, we load into a golf cart, where Brunson leads me on a tour of the WB campus — it also just happens to be a tour of one of the most exciting young careers in comedy. In fact, while we chat in front of an outdoor set of a white church used in Gilmore Girls and Pretty Little Liars , an eager fan on a stretch cart packed with visitors on a guided tour loudly points her out. In 2018, she was cast as a lead in a CW series called The End of the World As We Know It after auditioning in this very building.

Blackpink Continues Reign as Most-Followed Musical Act in YouTube History With 75 Million Subscribers
Blackpink ’s plan for global domination is in full effect as the world’s biggest girl group continues their reign as the most-followed musical act in YouTube history, becoming the first-ever to reach 75 million subscribers on the platform. The K-Pop supergroup, made up of Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa, has racked up more than 25 billion collective streams across less than 300 videos uploaded to YouTube since their debut in 2016. Last year, the four-piece unseated Justin Bieber as the platform’s most-followed artist. Now, he trails not-so-closely behind with just over 69.3 million subscribers, but with BTS hot on his tail with 68.7 million. With a new era on the horizon, it’s not likely that anyone will be catching up to Blackpink anytime soon. The quartet is currently in the process of completing their highly-anticipated forthcoming studio album while simultaneously juggling their individual roles as fashion and beauty ambassadors for the likes of Dior, Cartier, MAC Cosmetics, … [Read more...] about Blackpink Continues Reign as Most-Followed Musical Act in YouTube History With 75 Million Subscribers
