So naturally when South Park characters Tolkien and Kyle get TikTok famous at school, they shoot a viral video to the track in front of their lockers.

A new Bruce Springsteen song is heading to the big screen. Variety reports The Boss has written the tune “Addicted to Romance” for Rebecca Miller’s new movie She Came to Me, which stars Peter Dinklage, Marisa Tomei and Anne Hathaway.…
