New entertainment releases this week

Have you been waiting for a chance to check it out Molly Mae “Unprecedented”?

If so, you're in luck, because she's starring in a new TV series set to hit theaters on Friday.

But that's not all this week is about.

Some familiar singles will aim for a second try at love love island villa, and one directionThe film returns to theaters as a tribute to Liam Payne.

elsewhere, pope francis will explore controversial topics in his new autobiography, as well as the late Mike Miller's album “Balloonerism” is finally on sale.

Read on for all the biggest releases of the week…

Last year, influencer Molly-Mae Hague shocked fans when she announced she was splitting from fiancé, professional boxer Tommy Fury.

They are both 25 and are arguably Love Island's most high-profile couple.

Now her legions of fans are being promised “unprecedented access” to her life behind a vlogging camera.

first three episodes Molly Mae: Behind it all The series will premiere on Prime Video on January 17, with the next three episodes expected to air in the spring.

It's a reality show-cum-documentary series that follows Molly as she raises her daughter, Bambi, while pursuing various business ventures.

“So far, so good. I'm not losing my mind because of the cameras in my house,” she told Vogue November.

Molly-Mae is a professional, so you can imagine that the show will be carefully stage-managed.

But the show promises we'll see “her as we've never seen her before—raw, authentic, and redefining what it means to thrive under rigorous public scrutiny.”

The documentary also follows her experience following a breakup.

Interestingly, over the festive period, photos purportedly showing Love Island 2019 runners-up Molly-Mae and Tommy kissing at a New Year's Eve party appeared in several newspapers.

We have not independently verified these images.

But it's safe to say that Molly-Mae's love life is fascinating – especially for the British tabloids – and you can expect the topic to come up again ahead of this week's release.

After Molly-Mae and Tommy split, some of us wondered if it was actually possible to find love on a reality TV show.

But that didn't stop the veteran singles player from traveling to South Africa to watch the spin-off series Love Island: All Stars…

The show, which airs on ITV2 and ITVX from Monday, will bring back contestants from previous seasons to reprise their romance.

This year, professional dancer Curtis Pritchard will be back for morning coffee and will be joined by Kaz Crossley and Nas Majeed.

Formers Gabby Allen and Marcel Somerville will also return. The couple were runners-up in 2017 but split a year later.

Scott Thomas, Olivia Hawkins, Catherine Agbaje and Ronnie Vint will also join Luca Bish (Luca Bish), who previously worked with Gemma Owen (the daughter of former footballer Michael).

All-Stars started last year in response to declining ratings for the original series.

ITV bosses hope the show can be revived. But the ratings for last year's All-Star Finals suggest not yet.

The final attracted 1.3 million viewers – significantly lower than the 2019 heyday performance peak of 6 million.

The return of numerous stars from some of the show's most popular episodes may also be a sign that it's becoming increasingly difficult to pursue influential careers outside the island. My colleague Annabelle has more on this here.

one direction Cum to the top In 2013, their documentary topped the box office charts in the UK and Ireland.

Today, more than ten years later, One Direction: This is Us It will be re-released in some cinemas on Tuesday in memory of former bandmate Liam Payne, who died last year.

AnnouncementOdeon said it will donate all ticket sales from the screening to mental health awareness charities. Other cinemas around the world have also announced screenings of the film.

Fans of the boy band were quick to praise the move.

“Liam deserves more than just tribute, he is irreplaceable. But you did a good thing,” one X user wrote.

Another wrote with a heart emoji: “This means so much to the fans.”

Directed by Super Size Me's Morgan Spurlock, the film showcases behind-the-scenes and concert footage of the band, which also features Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Neil Ho Lang and Zayn Malik.

Given the turnout Vigil for Liam Payne Fans around the world would react similarly after the singer's death.

For fans, or so-called mentors, Liam's death feels like the end of an integral part of their childhood. My colleague Bonnie—a former fan herself— Wrote about this here.

There has been a lot of controversy recently should you sing in the cinemafollowing Wicked and Moana 2…but I guess that won't stop fans from seeing this movie.

It has been more than five years since Mac Miller passed away from an accidental overdose on September 18, 2018.

On Friday, the rapper's previously unreleased 2014 album balloon flight came out. This is the second posthumous album released by the Miller Estate, following 2020's “Circles.”

On social media, some have expressed concerns about whether it is the right thing to release someone's music after their death, with fans concerned about the impact it could have on an artist's legacy.

But Miller's estate said the album was “very important to Malcolm”.

Announcement Taking to Instagram in November, they said it would showcase “his musicianship and fearlessness as an artist.”

Miller, whose real name was Malcolm James McCormick, was 26 when he died.

Shortly before his death, he released an album, Swimming, in which he discussed his struggles with mental health and drug addiction, as well as his breakup from pop star Ariana Grande.

Miller may have died too young, but his music lives on.

at last, Pope Francis' Hopes Come out on Tuesday. This is the first autobiography published by a pope.

He had originally planned to publish the memoir after his death, but according to his publisher Penguin, “the needs of our times and the hopes of the 2025 Jubilee” prompted him to publish the book earlier.

Penguin also promised to tackle “some of the most controversial issues of our time,” including the Middle East, immigration, the status of women and sexuality.

So once the book is published, you can expect a lot of reactions.
