After dating a string of starlets and putting his foot in his mouth during an infamous interview with Playboy, John Mayer decamped to Montana, put out a couple groovy commercial flops and toured with The Grateful Dead. But now he wants to get back to landing hot women, so his new album is filled with chick-magnet pop tunes–including one, “Still Feel Like Your Man,” that he admits is about his relationship with Katy Perry. “I like girls. I want girls to like me. I want to make music and be thought of as attractive. I was finally ready to re-enter that world and grow back into it,” he tells The New York Times in a lengthy profile. Mayer recently quit drinking, and says he’s now “very thoughtfully entering cannabis life” and ready for “the baby with the protective earphones” by the side of the stage.

Amy Schumer has dropped out of Sony’s planned live-action movie based on Mattel’s Barbie doll. “Sadly, I’m no longer able to commit to Barbie due to scheduling conflicts,” the actress says in a statement to Variety. “The film has so much promise, and Sony and Mattel have been great partners. I’m bummed, but look forward to seeing Barbie on the big screen.” Sony also shared their own statement, telling the outlet, “We respect and support Amy’s decision [and] we look forward to bringing Barbie to the world and sharing updates on casting and filmmakers soon.” As previously reported, the Barbie movie is said to be in the vein of Enchanted and will find the main character getting kicked out of Barbieland and landing in a real-world adventure.

Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed on Thursday that Carrie Fisher’s death will not be addressed in the eighth Star Wars film and that she won’t be recreated digitally in the future. “We are not changing 8 to deal with her passing,” he said during a USC tech conference. “Her performance remains as it was in 8. In Rogue One, we created digitally a few characters… We’re not doing that with Carrie.” According to Variety, Iger also shared new details about the forthcoming Han Solo: A Star Wars Story–including that the film will follow Solo’s life from the age of 18 through 24 and will feature him “acquiring a certain vehicle and meeting a certain Wookie.” Iger added that the film will also explain to fans how Solo “got his name.”
