Celebrity perfume used to be big business. Despite a decline in sales over the last several years, the business of celebrity fragrances could be bouncing back. Nowadays, it seems that every celebrity has a signature scent — but it wasn’t always that way.

Paramount+ has announced a July 2022 release for its upcoming Beavis and Butt-Head film, Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe. Marking the first Beavis and Butt-Head movie since 1996’s Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe follows Mike Judge’s animated slackers in their trip to space: “In perhaps the dumbest space movie ever made, Beavis and Butt-Head are sentenced to Space Camp by a “creative” judge in 1998. Their obsession with a docking simulator (huh huh) leads to a trip on the Space Shuttle, with predictably disastrous results. After going through a black hole, they reemerge in our time, where they look for love, misuse iPhones, and are hunted by the Deep State.
