The time has come for the St. David crew to say good-bye on Below Deck after a season of so many ups and downs.
Season 11 of Below Deck will come to an end in less than a week, but don’t expect the drama or chaos to subside.
Thanks to a sneak peek from Bravo, we know that tensions are high as the crew pushes through the final charter.
In the new footage, things pick up right where they left off, with Captain Kerry Titheradge laying into Ben Willoughby and Kyle Stille for ignoring his cabin inspection orders.
Captain Kerry doesn’t hold back ripping them for being disrespectful, especially after the support he’s shown the guys all season.
Ben gets the brunt of it because he’s the bosun and in a leadership role. The reprimand from the captain doesn’t seem to faze him, though.

Streaming activity for Sean “Diddy” Combs has severely dipped since he has been accused of assault and harassment.
When comparing Combs’ U.S. catalog streams during the first week of December — two weeks after Cassie Ventura sued him — with streams of his catalog during the week ending May 16, there was a 51.8 percent decrease for songs under his stage name Diddy from 2,624,000 streams to 1,265,000 streams, according to Luminate, which tracks music streams and sales.
As Puff Daddy during the same period, he saw a similar drop: there was a 48.3 percent decrease from 1,359,000 streams to 703,000 streams. Under his stage name Diddy, the change was very small: a 2.1 decrease from 604,000 streams to 591,200 streams.
The streaming decline comes after Combs apologized on Sunday for a recently surfaced 2016 video which sees him attacking Ventura, his ex-girlfriend and former protege who was signed to his Bad Boy record label. In the video, first obtained by CNN,...

Woman of Substance: Fargeat Rejuvenates Body Horror with Pulpy Parable
To borrow a succinct phrase from Beyonce, ‘pretty hurts,’ a sentiment quivering through Coraline Fargeat’s morbidly entertaining sophomore feature, The Substance. Its simplistic title eventually reveals itself to be a vicious bit of irony, considering it refers to a magical titular potion which seems fashioned for those who are actually lacking substance, their worth defined solely by the superficiality of youth and beauty. Los Angeles turns out to be ground zero for this unique riff on Death Becomes Her (1992), plus a formidable array of other cult titles in what is essentially a ‘be careful what you wish for’ moral fable.…...

For 60 years Paul McCartney has managed to stay in the list of the UK’s top earning musicians through his Beatle royalties, but some unexpected twist has actually gotten him out of the millionaires club and into the more fancier billionaire list.

Sony Music, the largest music publisher in the world and the home of artists like Beyonce and Adele, has contacted more than 700 firms, including Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI, to determine if they have used its songs to develop artificial intelligence systems.
The publisher wants to stop training, developing or making money from AI using Sony songs without permission, the BBC reports.
In a letter, Sony said it has “reason to believe” that the addressees “may already have made unauthorized uses” of its music. Sony Music says it will enforce its copyright “to the full extent permitted by applicable law.”
The complaint mirrors other concerns about AI tools, which have to be “trained” using existing materials.
For example, the BBC says, a chatbot might have “learned” to give a particular written style by being shown billions of books.

Paul McCartney has been one of the UK’s wealthiest musicians for the last 60 years due to his Beatles royalties. Now he has reportedly become the first UK musician to become a billionaire ($1.27bn).
The Sunday Times Rich List, published annually, reports that Sir Paul has seen his immense fortune increase by £50m ($63.5m) in the past year – thanks to Beyonce’s cover of his 1968 song Blackbird, the ever-lucrative value of the Beatles catalogue, plus his own continued touring into his 82nd year.
The Fab Four Beatles all made fortunes with their record-breaking record sales in the 1960s, but it was the songwriting partnership of McCartney and John Lennon who earned the really big money on royalties. McCartney added to this with his subsequent band Wings, writing the James Bond theme Live and Let Die, as well as his solo career.

NBCUniversal may have kicked off TV’s upfront week with the Wicked trailer, Snoop Dogg, and adorable penguins, but it closed Monday with a more dedicated pitch to one of its marquee divisions: It’s Spanish-language business Telemundo.
Held inside The Shed’s eight-story glass-encased McCourt space, Telemundo focused its tight presentation on its recent ratings wins over arch-rival TelevisaUnivision, with some not so subtle jabs at its competitor.
“We constantly change and give our audiences what they want, while others continue to do the same thing, night after night, week after week, year after year,” Telemundo’s new chairman, Luis Fernandez, told the crowd.
“We are known for being innovators, and filling the void of content to represent Latinos from all walks of life,” added Cesar Conde, the head of the NBCU News Group who also oversees Telemundo. “No other media company can do that because we are the...

While not the traditional venue for touting upcoming movies — as this week is all about wooing Madison Avenue to shell out big bucks for prime ad placement on TV — with film chief-turned-overall content boss Donna Langley on stage for her first upfront, the move was a natural moment for synergy.
Langley teed up a new trailer for “Wicked,” a treat just for those attending the presentation at Radio City Music Hall, and promised it will drop wide later this week.

AMC Entertainment’s biggest issue right now may be its $4.5 billion debt and the fact that most comes due in 2026. On a conference call post-earning today, CEO Adam Aron addressed it publicly for the first time, assuring investors the giant theater chain has been working with lenders for almost a year to extend the maturities and he’s hopeful they will.
“I can assure everyone listening to this call that the management of this company, which has been pretty smart in how we’ve navigated through the pandemic … is wholly focused on the debt maturities that are due in 2026. This is not something that we will look at next year or the year after.”
The good news, he said, “is that we have lender syndicates who generally like AMC, have worked with us before, and are working with us now, and he’s “hopeful” for an agreement. “It has our highest attention.

Movie theaters can’t sell tickets if they don’t have a lot of new blockbusters to advertise on their marquees. And the actors and writers strikes that ground Hollywood to a standstill in 2023 left studios with fewer movies to release as 2024 got started. As the biggest exhibitor in the world, AMC Theatres certainly felt the lack of franchise movies and tentpole films as the year kicked off, but the company still managed to beat projections with its quarterly earnings. That was partly thanks to the March release of “Dune: Part Two” and “Kung Fu Panda 4,” popular sequels that helped off-set declining admissions in January and February.
Despite the late breaking entry of some must-see movies, revenues at the the theater chain fell to $951.4 million from $954.4 million in the prior-year quarter. However, net losses for the three-month period ending in March narrowed to $163.5 million, or 62 cents per share. That...

The Academy of Country Music Awards show set for May 16 is getting some additional octane in its performance lineup with the addition of two of the biggest artists of the moment from outside the country genre, Post Malone and Noah Kahan.
Malone looks set for a solo moment on the ACM Awards show, while Kahan will join female artist of the year nominee Kelsea Ballerini for a duet.
Even without a new album out, Malone has been ubiquitous lately, in pop and even country. He has appeared as a featured performer in the last three months with arguably the three biggest acts in the music business right now: Beyonce (on her country-driven album “Cowboy Carter”), Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen (on the just-released joint single “I Had Some Help”).

Taylor Swift‘s record-breaking debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart with “The Tortured Poets Department” has unsurprisingly been followed by a second week on top. In fact, its first week was so massive that even with a second week drop of 83%, nothing else even came close. It achieved 439,000 equivalent album units for the tracking week that ended May 2 based on its combined record sales, individual track sales and online streams.

The British singer-songwriter’s signatures have always been her powerhouse vocals, her confessional lyrics about heartbreak, and her unabashed emotion — she’ll make you cry or die trying. Her breakthrough came in 2008 with the release of her album “19,” which appropriately dropped when she was still 19-years-old. That collection was a modest hit — modest by her standards that is — peaking at number-four on the Billboard 200 albums chart and certified triple platinum in the US. It produced the single “Chasing Pavements,” which earned her her first Grammy noms for Record of the Year and Song of the Year, and she won Best New Artist.
But that was just a hint of what was to come. Her next album, “21,” was a global phenomenon. Its lead single, “Rolling in the Deep,” became her first chart-topper in the US. The collection went 14-times platinum and swept the Grammys in 2012, including Album of the Year,...

Well over 1,000 Gold Derby users have been predicting Album of the Year at the upcoming 2025 Grammys, and now you can place your early bets in two more general field categories: Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Who do you think will win these two top races? Let us know here in our predictions center.
We can probably expect a few of the top Aoty contenders to make an impact here with their respective singles. For instance, Taylor Swift is ahead in our Aoty odds for “The Tortured Poets Department,” so her lead single “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone is a strong bet for both Roty and Soty. She’s the most nominated songwriter of all time in the latter category with seven citations, but she has yet to win it. Meanwhile, Beyonce is the most nominated artist in the history of Roty with eight career bids, but she...

It may be your first time hearing something like this, but here it is. It turns out that The Lion King’s modern adaptation released back in 2019 never disturbed the creators by its critical failure — quite the contrary, it seems to have become an even bigger incentive to come up with a prequel that this time will revolve around Simba’s father Mufasa.
Set to be released this December, the upcoming movie called Mufasa: The Lion King has just dropped its first trailer making so many things even more controversial now.
The Lion King, the first installment of the technologically advanced franchise based on the 1994 iconic animated film of the same name, was directed by the MCU’s vet Jon Favreau and soon after the start of its production was proclaimed one of the most anticipated movies back in 2019.

A prequel story to 2019’s Disney live-action movie, The Lion King, is upon us. The movie tells us the story of Mufasa, Simba’s father, and his journey to become the king of the jungle. Mufasa: The Lion King will be helmed by director Barry Jenkins of Moonlight fame, unlike Jon Favreau, who directed the 2019 feature, with Donald Glover and Beyoncé returning to voice Simba and Nala, respectively.

For the Oscar winner, this Walt Disney production was quite different from the kind of movies he usually makes. And if not for Jeff Nathanson’s script, which had him hooked from the beginning, Jenkins could have almost said no to the project.

Mufasa: The Lion King Teaser trailer has been dropped by Disney, and the live-action film, which is a prequel to 2019’s The Lion King, will be released worldwide on December 20. However, the trailer would put you to disbelieving the amount that must have been spent on this so-called CGI film that has been unnecessarily called a live-action film.
The one-minute, 34-second trailer makes one thing very clear: the animals are more expressive this time, and some research and hard work has been done at that end. But the question lies – Is Mufasa’s back story important, and was this prequel necessary?
Instead of investing their mind, money, and time in creating a fresh character, Disney has tried to play a safe bet by making Mufasa: The Lion King. Well-known names definitely pique the excitement as...

Filmmaker Barry Jenkins, the mastermind behind critically acclaimed pieces of work like Moonlight and If Beale Street Could Talk, is returning to the big screens. This time, he has another presumed masterpiece prepared for fans, which is also the prequel to the live-action The Lion King from 2019: Mufasa: The Lion King. That being said, he has quite a bit to talk about the upcoming movie.

But of all the factors that have contributed to the making of this soon-to-be-released adventure musical, Jenkins is incredibly grateful to one Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor who was the genius brains behind the songs for his movie. This actor is none other than the 44-year-old songwriter cum actor renowned for masterpieces like 2020’s Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is an artist who needs no introduction. The multi-millionaire singer has wowed her audience with her music since she started in the industry with Destiny’s Child. After some additions and replacements, the girl group ended up with Beyonce alongside Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams in 1990.

But a decade and a half later, the singers decided to go their own way, and Beyonce ended up being a sensation in the music world with her solo career. She is not only a singer but has also tried her hands at acting, like Dreamgirls (2006) and The Lion King (2019). The latter is spawning a prequel movie with Beyonce returning to voice the character of Nala opposite Donald Glover’s Simba. But the new movie is once again, hinting at some nepotism debates to start soon.

The Grammys are handed out every year by the Recording Academy, an organization composed of music professionals representing different genres across the industry. For multiple years their nominations for Album of the Year were decided by clandestine nomination review committees, but the academy got rid of most of those in 2021, so now the decisions are made entirely by members at large. Scroll down for our latest racetrack odds, which are based on the combined predictions of Gold Derby users. Those odds are constantly changing, so we’ll be updating this list throughout the season.

Not everyone in the industry appreciates the Grammys, though. At the 2021 awards The Weeknd didn’t get a single nomination despite an acclaimed album (“After Hours”) and a song (“Blinding Lights”) so popular that Billboard ranked it as their number-one single of 2021 and the number-one song of all time.

It’s time to head back to the Pride Lands in Barry Jenkins’ Lion King prequel. Watch the first Mufasa: The Lion King trailer below.
The Lion King, released in 2019, proved to be a controversial one. While early reactions praised the film’s visual effects, others found fault in its all-cgi creatures. Really, it was a strange move from Disney to call it a live-action version of such a beloved classic when it was all created on a computer screen.
Regardless, the film has spawned a prequel, and Moonlight director Barry Jenkins signed on to direct what we now know is called Mufasa.
Take a look at the Mufasa: The Lion King trailer below.
It certainly looks like it’s going to be more of the same, so if you weren’t a fan of 2019’s The Lion King, something tells us this might be a miss for you too.

Singer-songwriter Beyonce is set to perform at the upcoming edition of MTV Video Music Awards to mark its 40th anniversary this September.
This is the first time since 2016 when the ‘Cowboy Carter’ hitmaker will grace its stage, reports ‘Mirror.co.uk’.
Back in 2016, she won eight trophies, and performed a 16-minute Lemonade medley.
Even having earned VMA nominations in 2018, 2020 and 2021, the 42-year-old still didn’t grace the show with an appearance and skipped last year to tour with Renaissance.
“Beyonce is a huge get for the VMAs and will be a huge ratings draw,” a source said.
“She is currently figuring out how her appearance will look and whether it will be one song or a tribute similar to her 2014 closing performance when she received the prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.”

There’s only so much that a teenager like him can take. There’s strong speculation on social media that suggests Barron Trump is none too pleased with his parents, Donald and Melania Trump, and their behavior.
That’s because both of them are at odds and it mostly has to do with Donald’s hush money trial. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

It was reported earlier in the week that the judge in Donald Trump’s hush money case has barred him from traveling to Florida to attend Barron’s high school graduation. And of course, the former president is absolutely devastated over the matter.
If there’s one person who seems to be pleased with the decision, it’s Barron’s mother, Melania. That’s because she would rather attend the graduation on her own.

When California State University Northridge’s head of film production Nate Thomas came to visit one of his first students, Paul Hunter, on the set of the new David Oyelowo-starring Apple TV Plus series “Government Cheese,” the Northridge alum and show co-creator could be heard boasting about his time in the program.
After learning to tell stories at Csun, Hunter spun a renowned career directing music videos for Beyonce and U2, among others, into helming Bacardi spots with Michael B. Jordan and Cannes Golden Lion-winning campaigns for Nike. Much of that has been through PrettyBird, a Hollywood commercial house he co-founded and uses in part to help foster and launch the careers of other underrepresented voices. “It all started at Northridge,” Thomas says. “We do filmmaking not just for the privileged. We make it for all people who have a story to tell.”

AMC Theatres, the world’s largest cinema chain, is leaning into distribution.
The company is expanding its distribution team with a key hire and promotion, underscoring its commitment to releasing its own movies in addition to showcasing titles from traditional and independent studios. AMC Theatres launched its distribution team with the premieres of last year’s concert films, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” and “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé.”
Stephanie Terifay has joined AMC in the newly created position of VP of Distribution. She will begin on April 26. In this role, Terifay is responsible for engaging the music industry to develop future projects, tailoring distribution strategies and marketing plans to maximize fan engagement. In other words, Swift and Beyonce’s stadium tours were the first but won’t be the last to grace the big screen — if AMC can help it.

It has only been three weeks since their first collaborative album hit number-one on the Billboard 200 albums chart, but Metro Boomin and Future are at it again. “We Don’t Trust You” debuted on top of the chart dated April 6, and now their follow-up “We Still Don’t Trust You” has done the same on the chart dated April 27. Read more about this week’s chart here at Billboard.com.
“We Still Don’t Trust You” achieved 127,500 equivalent album units based on its combined traditional album sales, individual track sales and online streams, with streaming making up the vast majority of the collection’s activity. That total number of units is about half what Metro and Future achieved with “We Don’t Trust You,” which launched with 251,000. But it was enough to knock Beyonce‘s “Cowboy Carter” to second place with 98,000 units. “We Don’t Trust You” rose one spot...
