The daily gossip: January 3, 2020

1. The Coachella 2020 lineup has arrived

Buy stock in sunscreen, because this year's Coachella lineup has arrived. The musical festival, which will take place over two consecutive weekends in April, will feature more than 100 bands, including headliners Rage Against the Machine, Travis Scott, and Frank Ocean. Tickets for the first weekend are already sold out, while tickets for the second weekend go on sale on January 6. But anyone who can't score Coachella tickets this year can revel in a consolation prize: Getting to spend that whole weekend somewhere else with air conditioning, plenty of water to drink, and a functioning toilet.

2. Justin Bieber's new single is finally here

Justin Bieber has been teasing it on social media for weeks, and now finally, "Yummy" — the first single from Bieber's upcoming fifth studio album — has finally dropped. The song, which may or may not be about how much Bieber loves his wife, Hailey Baldwin Bieber, is definitely about how much Bieber loves saying the word "yummy." Between a chorus that repeats the line "you got that yum-yummy" more times than you would belieb possible, Bieber sings verses about driving a Lamborghini and name-drops the fashion line he co-founded. Relatable!

3. The NFL Wild Card game might delay the Golden Globes on Sunday

Sunday will be a particularly overloaded day of live television, with two NFL Wild Card games leading straight into the 77th annual Golden Globes. But if you're debating whether you'd rather watch the Seattle Seahawks play the Philadelphia Eagles or watch Ricky Gervais roast a bunch of celebrities, don't worry: In the off-chance the NFL game goes into overtime, NBC has announced that they'll just delay the start time of the Golden Globes ceremony — though frankly, we'd love it if they'd just broadcast a whole theater full of well-dressed and very bored celebrities, slugging champagne and looking at their watches as they wait for the game to end.

4. Harry Hamlin says his Indiana Jones audition was just baking a cake

Today, it's hard to imagine anyone besides Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones — but long before Raiders of the Lost Ark arrived in theaters, a ton of Hollywood up-and-comers auditioned for the lead role. One of those hopefuls was future L.A. Law star Harry Hamlin, who described a truly bizarre audition for the role. Hamlin recalls arriving and having Steven Spielberg tell him George Lucas was on a delayed flight, and asking Hamlin to bake a cake while they waited. According to Hamlin, the whole "bake a cake" thing was actually the real audition all along — and since Ford got the part in the end, we're assuming he makes a mean angel food.

5. Gene Simmons puts ice cubes in his cereal

Want to party like KISS? All you need to do is rock and roll all nite — and wake up nice and early for a refreshing bowl of cereal with some ice cubes in it. "Anyone else put ice cubes in their cereal?" asked Gene Simmons on Twitter, alongside a photo of his cereal: A mixed bowl of Oreo O's and Frosted Mini Wheats floating in milk alongside several large ice cubes. You might be grossed out by Simmons' unusual cereal habit — but as the KISS song says, he was made for lovin' cubes, baby.
