Fans of Netflix’s breakout series ‘Bridgerton’ may have bemoaned the unexpected exit of star Regé-Jean Page at the conclusion of its first season, but they were given a glimmer of hope this week when he posted a photo of himself in Milan alongside former castmate Jonathan Bailey for the city’s Fashion Week.

This week may have seen Doja Cat‘s ‘Planet Her’ hit single ‘Get Into It (Yuh)’ get into the top 40 for the first time (marking the 12th visit of her career to the chart territory), but she may be well on her way to nabbing her 13th if the ongoing success of ‘Vegas’ is any indication.

The tune, which serves as the lead single from the forthcoming soundtrack of the eponymous Elvis Presley biopic directed by Baz Luhrmann, was released at the top of May and has already clawed its way to a #56 peak on the Hot 100 (as of time reported). Buoyed by a thick interpolation of Presley’s hit ‘Hound Dog’ (which was originally performed by Big Mama Thornton in 1952), ‘Vegas’ was further brought to notoriety with a sizzling music video that was released at the top of June.

Now, after helping push the song to its current Hot 100 height, Doja is hoping to send it even higher by inviting viewers into a behind the scenes look at the Child-directed action of the clip.  See it inside.
