Nick Jonas warmed hearts with his siblings in the warm, fuzzy and silly last year’s A Very Jonas Christmas Movie. But this holiday season, the Jonas Brothers singer and Power Ballad star will crank up the chill factor when he co-stars with Kathryn Newton (Ready or Not 2: Here I Come) in MRC’s holiday horror film White Elephant.

According to Deadline, the film directed by Eli Craig (Clown in a Cornfield) will tell the story of “Eight friends. One prize. Zero trust. Their annual festive holiday gift exchange spirals into a cutthroat game of Christmas carnage.”

Jonas is among the producers through his Powered By Jonas company. At press time no additional information was available about the rest of the cast or a release date. The news of the Christmas creeper movie comes after Jonas premiered his new musical dramedy, Power Ballad, at SXSW earlier this year, a film in which he and Paul Rudd play an unlikely musical duo who rediscover the joy of songwriting together. That movie, directed by John Carney (Once, Sing Street) is slated to be released by Lionsgate on June 5.

It will be a busy year in the multiplex for Jonas, who is slated to co-star alongside Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black and Kevin Hart in the latest Jumanji sequel from Columbia Pictures. Jonas will also star in the high-stakes thriller Bodyman, from director Gary Fleder (Reacher), described as the story of a longtime bodyguard of an “eccentric billionaire” who unexpectedly inherits his dead boss’ private military company, setting off a violent clash with the man’s family.

In a statement, Fleder called Bodyman a “smart, lean, high-voltage action thriller that gives Nick the chance to show every side of what he can do: the physicality, the intensity and the emotional depth”; Bodyman will also be produced by Powered by Jonas. “I’ve been developing this project for a while and I’m excited to see it come to fruition. Re-teaming with Byron Balasco and director Gary Fleder also makes this project more special to me,” Jonas said in a statement.

Jonas released his first solo album in five years, Sunday Best, in February.

Did you know that Easter and Passover are the “two most metal holidays of all time”?

That’s according to Jack Black in just-released promos for his hosting stint on Saturday Night Live this weekend alongside similarly named rock star Jack White as musical guest.

“It’s the Easter show, baby!” White says, while Black adds, “And the Passover show, homey — the two most metal holidays of all time!”

The pair of Jacks then trade off the most metal biblical references, with Black throwing up the sign of the horns while shouting, “Lamb’s blood!”

“Rising from the dead!” White adds.

“Exodus!” Black says.

This is where SNL castmember Marcello Hernandez tries to chime in, adding theatrically, “The Easter Bunny!” But Black and White aren’t having it. “No,” Black says, with White adding disappointedly, “You ruined it.”

Elsewhere in the promos, Hernandez calls Jack White “the opposite of Jack Black” and Black makes sure to give White a “legendary” introduction. Watch below:

Saturday’s episode will mark Black’s fifth time hosting, while White will be the musical guest for a sixth time, including his SNL debut with The White Stripes back in 2002. Black is promoting his return as the voice of Bowser in the animated sequel The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which arrived in theaters on Wednesday. Black made his solo Billboard Hot 100 debut back in 2023 thanks to his song “Peaches” from the first Super Mario Bros. Movie, peaking at No. 56 on the chart.

Saturday Night Live airs at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT on NBC and streams on Peacock. (See all the options to watch SNL here.)

Apple’s AirPods Max headphones made quite the impression when they launched in 2020, instantly attracting fans like Timothee Chalamet, Dua Lipa and JENNIE with the product’s sleek and elevated look, while earning thumbs up from tech journalists for crisp and immersive audio.

Now, Apple is hoping lightning strikes twice with the launch of the AirPods Max 2, the next generation in the venerable tech brand’s over-ear wireless headphones.

Apple AirPods Max 2 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones,

NEW RELEASE

Apple AirPods Max 2 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones

“Midnight” colorway

Released March 25, the new headphones features the same instantly-recognizable over-ear design as the original AirPods Max, but with improved Active Noise Cancellation technology (ANC), enhanced audio and intelligent features all powered by Apple’s H2 chipset.


The most impressive update is on the noise cancellation prowess of the AirPods Max 2, with Apple reporting that the new headphones “deliver ANC that’s up to 1.5x more effective than the previous generation.” You’ll notice it when you’re on a plane and the whiz and whirl of the airplane engine suddenly fades away; or when crossing an intersection in a bustling city, and the crowd and traffic noise dissipates.

I live on a second-floor unit in an apartment building located on a main road in Los Angeles, and I’ve found the original AirPods Max headphones to be a lifesaver for when I want to put on some tunes to focus on work and not hear the honking and screeching of cars below. The AirPods Max 2 promise an even more immersive experience, by detecting and canceling out background noise before it even hits your ears.

Of course if you still need to pay attention to your environment — I.e. in the office or when walking in traffic — you can set the cups to Transparency Mode, which filters in some natural sounds, so you’re not completely unaware or zoned out to what (or who) is around you. Voice Isolation technology automatically moves your voice to the forefront during calls, while blocking out ambient noise. And if you’re listening to a playlist or podcast, Apple’s Adaptive Audio feature automatically adjusts the noise cancellation levels depending on how noisy your environment is, so there’s always a balance of music with organic outside sounds.

A new feature we like is “Conversation Awareness,” which automatically lowers the volume of what’s playing in your ears, to make it easier to hear and talk to those around you.

Music-wise, the AirPods Max 2 continue to support Spatial Audio, for a more natural-sounding listening experience, and lossless audio, which lets you stream the highest-quality tracks. Apple says a new high dynamic range amplifier offers “even cleaner audio,” and you can also personalize your headphones to suit your ear shape and the way your head moves, so that music is always directed at you, rather than say, floating off somewhere in the distance.


One other new feature we like: Live Translation, which does exactly as the name suggests, by letting you read or listen to an English-language translation of a conversation when you are talking to someone who’s using another language. The same feature is available in Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 model, which I tested last fall, and while it took me a bit of time to set up Live Translation (mostly making sure my phone was updated), once I got it to work, it was pretty intuitive.

The AirPods Max 2 retain the same premium look and feel as its predecessor, with the flexible mesh headband for breathability and cushy, pillow-like earpads for comfort (Apple has also upped their sustainability efforts by using 100% recycled polyester in the ear cushion). What I liked: you won’t sweat through these headphones, even when wearing for long periods of time. And as someone who wears glasses, I found that the headband wasn’t squeezing my temples in at all. The exterior has the clean and minimalist look I love, and Apple has these headphones available in five colors online, including the orange colorway that was so popular with users of the iPhone 17.

The AirPods Max 2 wireless headphones are available to purchase online now with a suggested retail price of $549. In my opinion, Apple’s got another winner on its hands, with the AirPods Max 2 offering that perfect balance of audio and aesthetics, to deliver another pair of headphones that will be topping everybody’s must-have list this year.
