In Season 2 of The Pitt, Dr. Langdon (Patrick Ball) returns and Robby (Noah Wyle) isn’t happy about it. July 4th marks Langdon’s first day back on the job after rehab and while Robby attempts to keep him at a distance by assigning him to triage, the two cross paths in Episode 5 and their dynamic further confirms that Robby is nowhere near ready to accept an apology from Langdon. But what about Katherine LaNasa‘s Dana?

Episode 6, “12:00 PM,” finally offers up a quiet one-on-one between the two, with Langdon continuing his apology tour. He lays things out one by one — he’s having a rough first day back, no one from the ER reached out while he was gone, his wife could have taken the kids and left. Dana says exactly what one might assume Langdon would want to hear in those moments. He lost one patient and had another with a “septic bounce back?” Dana tells him neither were his fault. No one from the ER called him while he was away? She gives him a soft “sorry.” He’s shocked his wife stuck with him? Dana says it’s because he deserved a second chance. Even when Langdon launches into his 12-step apology to make amends, she cuts him off and assures him, “You can check me off your list, kid. We’re good.”

But are they really? If you simply took Dana at her word, the scene might demand a revisit because it’s actually loaded with subtext.

This Was the Most-Discussed Scene of ‘The Pitt’ Before Filming

While on Collider Ladies Night to revisit her journey to The Pitt and to discuss what Dana’s experienced through Season 2, Episode 6, LaNasa zeroed in on what made this scene one-of-a-kind. “It was probably one of the most talked-about-beforehand scenes that I’ve ever done on The Pitt.” She recalled:

“Noah was directing, and he and Patrick had talked about it, and I think he had come to me and said, ‘You’re gonna kind of patch him up and get him on his way.’ Then he came and he said, ‘You know, I’m thinking this now. I want you to be mad and to take down this donut sign.’ He said something to me that I had a hard time understanding, and I really had to let it simmer to really understand it. But at the end of the day, kind of what he was saying was, ‘You don’t have time for this today.’ It was a little bit the theme of the one before, but he wanted him to feel uncomfortable. He wanted me to not entirely be able to take care of him. So, maybe behind, ‘You didn’t call me,’ when I’m like, ‘Sorry.’ I got to a place where it’s unspoken.”

Does Dana Really Forgive Langdon?

This is a mess Langdon created for himself. “I didn’t choose my punch in my face.”

LaNasa insists she actually does forgive Langdon. “I do forgive him because I, myself, have a child the same age as Patrick.” She gets who he is and where he’s coming from. However, she also knows her own truth, and there’s a big difference between what she went through during their last shift together and the position he found himself in.

“Underneath, it was like, ‘I know you can’t think about this because you’re a young man and you only think about yourself, but I got punched in the face.’ You know what I mean? I got punched in the face. It caused me to have an existential crisis of my own. I’m still fucking upset about it. Yeah, I’m sorry I didn’t call you after you stole drugs and were sent to rehab, and now have to repeat your year in a mess that you chose for yourself. I didn’t choose my punch in my face. I think he actually wanted me to bring my own weight and to be not really willing to take care of him.”

The lasting impact of the punch isn’t the only thing on Dana’s mind at that moment. She’s also working to keep the ED up and running during yet another hectic shift. “I think some of the, ‘Look, you don’t have to apologize to me,’ was in part because I need Langdon to just get out there, just put his nose down, and get his job done.”

Another piece of this puzzle Dana wants him to be mindful of? Get his job done and “look good for Robby.”

“That’s basically what I’m saying. ‘Why don’t you just leave him alone today? Just come back. Do a good job. Things will sort out in time.’ Like that older wisdom. Whereas a kid’s like, ‘I want to make an apology. I want to make it alright right away,’ and just her not really having the time for that today.”

Looking for even more from LaNasa on what’s gone down in The Pitt Season 2 thus far, like the meaning of Dana’s bell pin, the importance of serving as a mentor to (Laetitia Hollard), and then some? Be sure to watch her full Collider Ladies Night interview in the video near the top of this article.

Lestat de Lioncourt is about to rock your world. Summer is only a few months away, and with the season will come the much-anticipated return of Anne Rice‘s Immortal Universe on AMC and AMC+ in the form of Interview with the Vampire Season 3. San Diego Comic-Con previously confirmed it’s getting a big shake-up, too, with a brand-new name, The Vampire Lestat, that reflects a shift to adapting book two in the series and a brand-new occupation for the titular immortal — rock star. As such, the network is starting to give viewers a taste of what’s to come with the change of scenery after a Season 2 finale of reconciliation for the vampire.

The Vampire Lestat will find its lead, once again played by Sam Reid, on an electric multi-city tour, haunted by the “muses” from his rebellious past while he leans into his new life of rock and roll. With the rise in his band’s star power comes greater influence over humans and vampires, making him an ever-greater force to be reckoned with in the night. Other powers are forced to take note of his growing might in the face of the Great Conversion, an event that sees a boom in the number of vampires in the world. Despite being in his rock-star era, Lestat remains largely the same aristocrat viewers know, embracing hedonism in his new, glamorous tour lifestyle. It’s also a chance to show off his talents as an artist through song.

Ahead of the summer premiere, the first track from Lestat’s catalog, “Long Face,” has just been released overnight courtesy of AMC Networks and Lakeshore Records. It’s the first of several singles that will be rolled out in the coming months on the official Vampire Lestat profile page on the major digital music services to get viewers hyped for the tour. Show composer Daniel Hart penned the lyrics and composed the music, while Reid himself performed on the song. According to the former, the goal was to lean into glam rock while tying the music into Lestat’s ability to blend in with just about any era, an aspect of the character that reminded him of the late great David Bowie:

“Long Face is the first song I wrote for The Vampire Lestat. We decided early on to make David Bowie a big influence for Lestat’s musical style and persona, and there’s certainly some Ziggy Stardust in this song. But we chose Bowie not only for his glam era, but because he was a chameleon. Expect Lestat to change his musical colors throughout the season as well, as he discovers how to remain true to himself, and how to express that truth on stage every night.”

‘The Vampire Lestat’ Brings New and Returning Faces on Tour

As for Lestat, well, he didn’t have as kind of words for Hart, sounding every bit like a rock diva. With his immortal expertise, he also threw a stray jab at Hart’s acclaimed work on The Green Knight in a scathing, in-character statement, adding, “Long Face is the first song Daniel Hart ‘produced’ for my album. He decided early on to steal where he could from Bowie because he hasn’t had an original idea for five years now (is that his Green Knight score fading in the rearview?) As for “Long Face,” the bass should have walked down with the guitar at the end instead of pedaling on E. Predictable. Like everything Daniel Hart touches.”

Reid will lead a cast of new and returning faces, headlined by Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles, and

Jennifer Ehle. Newcomers, meanwhile, include Sheila Atim, Noah Reid, Ryan Kattner, Seamus Patterson, and Sarah Swire, with Atim entering in a massive role as the Queen of the Damned herself, Akasha. Series creator, writer, and showrunner Rolin Jones is also back at the helm.

“Long Face” is now available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and more digital music services via the Vampire Lestat artist profile. More songs will be released in the coming months, leading up to The Vampire Lestat‘s premiere on AMC and AMC+ this summer. Stay tuned here at Collider for more on the series’ return until then.

Lori Harvey is giving the gworls life after sliding into Amani Wortham’s comment section to congratulate her on her engagement. For context, Amani Wortham is an influencer and podcast host who is going viral again after sharing where she’s at now following her breakup two years ago. Back in 2024, Amani blew up on TikTok when she opened up about splitting with her ex because he wasn’t her husband. Fast forward to now — Amani is engaged and showing off a huge rock in a new video. She made it clear that keeping her standards high and holding out for the right man led her straight to her hubby. “High standards do nothing, but good.” She continued, “If your standards to not eliminate most they aren’t high enough!”

Amani didn’t throw shade at her ex. She just put the ladies out there hoping to walk down the aisle and find Mr. Right on. She hyped women up to realize that “good” isn’t always the best and that sometimes what you really need shows up after you thought you had already found the right person.

“Good wasn’t good enough […] Now I actually have the person that I should be with.” She added, “Never let nobody tell you that you’re doing too much, especially as a woman when it comes to your life partner.” 

Lori Harvey peeped Amani’s video and seemed to agree. She slid straight into her comment section, letting everyone know she’s living for her energy writing, “You ain’t wrong queen! Congratulations.” 

Lori Harvey’s Support For Amani Has Social Media Buzzing

The Shade Room’s comment section was basically on the same as Lori. Plenty of folks said they weren’t surprised to see her agree, while others preached that “good” doesn’t always mean right for you. Of course, some folks couldn’t help but throw a lil’ shade, saying Amani needs to keep the internet updated on her future with her hubby.

Instagram user @fitwitbritt504 wrote, “Lori we knew you would agree sis 😂” 

While Instagram user @divinely_dimples wrote, “2 things can be true he can be a good man and still not be the right man for you.” 

Then Instagram user @getuptoparr wrote, “I love me a woman who knows how to LEAVE!!!!” 

Another Instagram user @jujuleger85 wrote, “A good man doesn’t always equal the right man for you… love this for her👏👏” 

Instagram user @killemallcoop wrote, “Keep us updated when y’all divorce too.” 

While another Instagram user @rudi.not.rudy wrote, “She’s not operating from a mindset of scarcity. Someone can be a great person just not YOUR person and that’s ok!” 

Finally, Instagram user @s.nashay wrote, “exactly that’s why ppl be miserable in them marriages cause they settled 🤣🤣” 

Amani Wortham Turns Breakup Lessions Into Viral Advice For Women

In 2024, Amani went viral on TikTok after sharing how she got through a breakup with an ex without crashing out. She said she’s been through rough heartbreak seasons, but her spirituality kept her sane. Her relationship with her ex didn’t end like a horror story, he was still sending her flowers even after they split. She made it clear that nothing messy caused them to part ways, it was really a few small things that led to the decision. That’s when she realized she needed to make room for her future husband. From there, Amani reminded women that holding your standards in relationships can be a positive experience. She also wanted her video to show that sometimes you can simply part ways because you are growing and desiring different things.

NBA YoungBoy fans have yet to let go of his past relationship with Jania Meshell. The former couple split back in 2018 and later welcomed their son, Kacey in 2019, who will soon be seven years old. Since then, Jania has moved on and is allegedly in a relationship with Dejounte Murray, while YoungBoy is married to Jazlyn Mychelle. However, after Jania showed support for her child’s father at one of his concerts last year, speculation quickly began to swirl. Instead of leaving the past in the past, some social media users became convinced the two were secretly messing around. Well, Jania has now taken to the internet to put the rumors to rest once and for all.

Rumors About NBA YoungBoy And Jania Circulate Online

Earlier this week, rumors began circulating on X (formerly Twitter) claiming that Jania Meshell and NBA YoungBoy were allegedly dealing with each other on New Year’s. One account wrote, “So NBA YoungBoy and Jania Meshell was sneaking and geeking in Utah on New Year’s. Y’all, this is really happening before our eyes… cause omg. Why was YoungBoy on the phone with his wife Jazlyn while Jania was picking YB up from his godmother’s house? JANIA OUTSIDE!!!!”

As the speculation continued to spread, folks on TikTok added fuel to the fire. Some users claimed that Jania had allegedly saved an edit of her and NBA YoungBoy to her account, further sparking conversation online.

Jania Clears The Air Once And For All

It looks like the rumors eventually made their way to Jania’s timeline, because early Thursday morning she hopped online to set the record straight. In her first post, she made it clear that everyone has moved on. 

“I’m just going to leave this here since people are confused….. Everybody has moved on don’t tag me in s*** don’t try to put 2&2 together y’all are getting piss I’m sick and tired of this it. If y’all rock with me y’all rock with me if you don’t you don’t idgaf anymore”

The influencer followed up by stressing that she has no interest in interfering with anyone’s marriage.

She added: “And furthermore the people that let the internet shape your opinion about ME… you too idgaf I’m in my own lane I’m not trying to mess with NOBODY HUSBAND OML” 

When one commenter asked, “But if he was single??” Jania quickly responded: “WE JUST HAVE A CHILD TOGETHER.”

Jania later became more vulnerable, opening up about how the ongoing speculation has impacted her personal life. She wrote, “Been trying to protect people I love and then get on the internet and everyday it’s something. If I was Dejounte I wouldn’t fwm cause all I bring is drama and honestly I’m just tired of this sh***. I want to be free.” In additional posts, Jania expressed feeling overwhelmed and embarrassed. She ended by apologizing to anyone she feels she may have negatively impacted, saying she hopes they can enjoy life without experiencing that again.

Social Media Reacts 

Folks on the net gathered under The Shade Room Teens comment section to react to Jania’s messages. Some agreed with her, arguing that NBA YoungBoy fans need to leave her alone. Others expressed that they feel like Dejounte might be the reason she’s speaking out. Meanwhile, a few are still standing ten toes down behind the rumors, insisting the two are still messing around.

Instagram user @barbrii._ added, “She went to one concert now yall won’t stop running with sht”

While Instagram user @youlovedreaa_ wrote, “Dejounte must’ve said something”

Instagram user replies @_____ntd wrote, “I mean It has to be exhausting to continue to be attached to someone even after publicly being in a relationship that would piss me off too!”
