Courtney Love has slammed Beyoncé, Lana del Ray, Taylor Swift and other prominent female singers for their role in the music industry.
“It’s great that there are so many successful women in the music industry, but lots of them are becoming a cliché,” Love told U.K.’s Evening Standard. “Now, every successful woman is cloned, so there is just too much music. They’re all the same. If you play something on Spotify, you get bombarded with a lot of stuff that’s exactly the same.”
“I mean, I like the idea of Beyoncé doing a country record because it’s about black women going into spaces where previously only white women have been allowed, not that I like it much, as a concept, I love it,” she said. “I just don’t like her music.”
Love was even more dismissive of Swift. “Taylor is not important… as an artist,...

Black Country Communion — the supergroup made up of acclaimed musicians Joe Bonamassa, Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham, and Derek Sherinian — have announced their fifth studio album, aptly titled V. Ahead of its June 14th release, the band has released the lead single, “Stay Free.”
The upcoming LP marks Black Country Communion’s first album in seven years, following 2017’s Bcciv. It was produced by Kevin Shirley, who has helmed all five of the the band’s albums.
Shirley stated, “For a band that started out as a collection of the best practitioners of their instruments, they very quickly found a unique sound. This time around, it has more purpose, the riffs are tougher, and there are hooks! Yes, hooks! It’s the most cohesive record, full of soul and grit, and I think this is the one that’s going to be the benchmark for Black Country Communion.”
Hughes added, “In my opinion,...

Kate Snow, the NBC News veteran who has anchored the network’s Sunday broadcast of “NBC Nightly News” since 2015, plans to exit the post next week, she disclosed to viewers of the program Sunday evening, citing growing responsibilities tied to streaming content.
The move may be a sign that her presence is needed elsewhere. Snow, who is also a senior national correspondent for NBC News, has since September of 2022 co-anchored parts of “NBC News Daily,” a set of daytime hours that both stream on NBC News Now and appear in the daytime schedules of all NBC affiliates. NBC News has placed increasing emphasis on reaching viewers with streaming content, and has continued to expand the original programming it offers in that venue. Those duties, plus those that have Snow reporting on stories during the week for “Today” and the weekday broadcasts of “NBC Nightly News,” have begun to add up.

It’s been more than 15 years since Oscar-nominated cinematographer and director Lajos Koltai helmed his last film, “Evening” (2007), a poignant meditation on mortality, regret and womanhood that featured a star-studded ensemble cast, including Vanessa Redgrave, Glenn Close, Eileen Atkins and Meryl Streep, and was released domestically by Focus Features.
For his return to the director’s chair, the Hungarian-born filmmaker also returns closer to home with “Semmelweis,” a period biopic drama about a Hungarian doctor who turns the medical establishment on its head in 19th-century Vienna. The film opens the 21st Hungarian Film Festival of Los Angeles, which runs Oct. 27 to Nov. 2 at the Laemmle Monica Film Center.

As a young boy growing up in Budapest, a town that would come to be known as “Hollywood on the Danube,” Béla Bunyik dreamed of being in the pictures. “I fell in love with movies in Hungary back in the ’50s,” Bunyik tells Variety. “When I was 12 years old, I started to work as an extra in a few movies…. In 1953, I spent a whole summer with a bunch of kids and some of the best Hungarian actors at the time.”
He recalls being picked up after school by talent scouts and cutting his teeth on the sets of films like Viktor Gertler’s 1954 adventure-comedy “Me and My Grandfather.” “Seeing how a movie was done was very exciting for me and I was sad when the summer ended, and the film was shut,” he says. But those formative years sparked a lifelong obsession. “I got hooked.”
Bunyik would later emigrate to the U.

Growing up there was a stack of VHS tapes that sat in the built-in cabinet beneath our 27 inch living room television. The large white clamshell cases housing Disney tapes were propped against the side to the left while my brother’s wrestling tapes were stacked to their right, as though there to keep the Disneys in line. Beside them sat my mom’s Christmas videos as well as the handful of movies my parents saw fit to own. Finally, in a messy pile at the end, were my tapes. No clamshells or box art, these cassettes bore nothing but a white label marked with the sloppy penmanship of my own hand.
Still, despite the crossed out titles and unintelligible scribbles vaguely describing the contents within, the fragmented, commercial laden videos carried a sense of discovery with them. A tangible feel of date, time and place that no other form of...

Tom Skilling, a TV meteorologist who has been forecasting the weather on Nexstar’s WGN-tv in Chicago for 45 years, announced tonight on the WGN Evening News that he will retire on February 28, 2024.
Skilling started his career at the age of 14 in Aurora, Illinois while still in high school. He had a series of radio and TV jobs in Illinois and Wisconsin before coming to WGN-tv in August of 1978.

The Beatles and The Rolling Stones waved off rumors of a feud between the bands, but John Lennon once terrified Brian Jones for his own amusement. Lennon and Jones were friendly, with the former considering Jones an incredible musician. Their relationship meant that Jones was fair game for Lennon’s pranks. Once, Lennon convinced a terrified Jones that the police were going to arrest him.
John Lennon made Brian Jones think the police were after him
When Lennon bought a car, he made a number of modifications, adding a record player, a custom horn that played “Lilli Marlene” when honked, and a microphone attached to speaker systems in the front wheel wells. With the speakers, Lennon could communicate with the outside world, talking to pedestrians or playing the sound of trains and airplanes to confuse people.

Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy have welcomed their third child together, a baby girl whose name has not yet been announced.
They were spotted pushing a stroller while they were out for a walk in New York City.
Last month, the couple attended the Tribeca Flim Festival, where the expectant parents showed off Danes’ baby bump.
Danes briefly spoke about their third baby when she attended the Golden Globe Awards in January earlier this year.
“This one was not intentional,” she told Mario Lopez for Access Hollywood.
Although the third baby was seemingly unplanned, Danes said she and her husband were “thrilled” and “excited.” When asked about the gender, Danes exclaimed that they didn’t know yet and were “rolling the dice.”
Danes and Dancy have two other children: Cyrus, 10, and Rowan, 4.
In another interview, Danes told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show that their two sons were not as thrilled as they were.

Arnold Schwarzenegger claims The Terminator franchise, which launched his career in 1984, predicted the future of artificial intelligence.
While speaking at An Evening with Arnold Schwarzenegger in Los Angeles on Wednesday, People reported that the actor talked about how writer-director James Cameron’s theories on AI in the films have “become a reality.”

AI is currently at the center of a huge debate in Hollywood and other industries surrounding the technology’s use. It also comes as programs like ChatGPT have risen in popularity across social media.
Schwarzenegger, who plays a cyborg assassin known as a Terminator in the movies, added that “at that time we (had) scratched the surface of AI, artificial intelligence. Think about that.

Public broadcaster Kcet — part of a PBS duopoly with Koce “PBS SoCal” — is back on top at the Los Angeles Area Emmys. Thanks to locally produced series like “Artbound” and “Broken Bread,” Kcet dominated the L.A. area Emmy nominations, announced Tuesday, with 24.
That’s a return to the top spot among nominees, and up from 15 last year. Cable news outlet Spectrum News 1, which dominated last year’s Emmy nominations, was down to 14 this year (vs. 23 in 2022) — still good enough for third place.
Meanwhile, Telemundo outlet Kvea (part of a duopoly with NBC-owned Knbc) saw a huge surge as well, with 20 nominations — up from just 8 last year. That meant Kvea was not only tops with Spanish outlets, but it was also tops with all commercial broadcasters. That includes its sibling NBC4, just posted just two nominations.
As usual, all stations that enter are immediately nominated in the daily morning newscast (4 a.

Claire Danes is rocking her baby bump on the red carpet. On May 9, the 44-year-old actor stepped out for a "Fleishman Is in Trouble" event in Los Angeles, giving fans a glimpse at her growing belly. She's currently expecting her third child with husband and fellow actor Hugh Dancy, joining sons Cyrus, 10 and Rowan, 4.
In early January, People confirmed the couple was getting ready to welcome another baby. Just days after the news broke, Danes made a red-carpet appearance at the Golden Globes, as she was nominated for her role in "Fleishman Is in Trouble." At the Globes, she wore a white floral gown with a satin bow and sparkling trim, but at the recent event, her bump was much more visible in a black boatneck gown with open sleeves.
Despite the happy news, Danes recently told Jimmy Fallon that her sons were not entirely on board with their expanding family.

I laugh when I hear people talk about how “Succession” is a sure thing winner for Best Drama Series and that it’s such a lock nothing whatsoever can derail it. Ha! Ha I say! Oh, it’s naturally going to be nominated and will likely remain the overwhelming frontrunner clear through Emmy season and up to Emmy night, all right. In the Gold Derby combined Emmy odds, it’s running away with this race, with “The White Lotus” Sicily” a very distant second. But if Emmy history has taught us anything, it’s that upsets happen, even giant ones. So you can absolutely never say never.

Priscilla Presley has stated that there is “no feud” between her and Riley Keough following the death of Lisa Marie Presley.
Lisa Marie, the only daughter of Priscilla and Elvis Presley, died in January aged 54 after suffering cardiac arrest.
Weeks after her death, Priscilla made a challenge to the “authenticity and validity” of Lisa Marie’s will, citing an unusual signature and other allegedly inconsistent details.
Further reports have suggested that Priscilla is no longer speaking to her granddaughter and Lisa Marie’s daughter, actor Keough, due to the legal dispute.
However, Priscilla has now shut down rumours of a “feud” between the family members.
Speaking in Newcastle as part of her An Evening with Priscilla Presley tour, the 77-year-old was asked if she was still in contact with her granddaughter.
“We are just fine,” she insisted.
Priscilla’s legal challenge concerns a 2016 amendment to Lisa Marie’s living trust.

Argonon CEO James Burstall was prompted to write his new crisis management book “The Flexible Method: Prepare to Prosper in the Next Global Crisis” by the Covid-19 pandemic, when the TV industry – like much of the world – came to a grinding halt almost exactly three years ago. Shows including “The Masked Singer U.K.,” which is produced by Argonon subsidiary Bandicoot and usually filmed in front of a live audience, found themselves jeopardy.
But the seeds for the book were sown a decade or so earlier, during the 2008 “credit crunch.” Then, Burstall was the CEO of Leopard Films, which he had founded in 2001 following stints at Oxford University and Stanford and a transitory career in journalism working for Vanity Fair and London’s Evening Standard newspaper. Leopard was chugging along nicely, pumping out hits such as BBC daytime staple “Cash in the Attic,” when disaster struck for the first time. Fuelled by the sub-prime mortgage crisis,...

Sharon Stone is dishing on being between a rock and a hard place.
The “Casino” star admitted that she “lost half” of her finances due to a “banking thing.” Her comment comes on the heels of Silicon Valley Bank collapsing and its effects on the financial market.
Stone received the Courage Award during the Women’s Cancer Research Fund’s (Wcrf) An Unforgettable Evening fundraiser and said during her acceptance speech (via The Hollywood Reporter), “I know that thing that you have to get on and figure out how to text the money is difficult. I’m a technical idiot, but I can write a fucking check. And right now, that’s courage, too, because I know what’s happening.”
She added, “I just lost half my money to this banking thing, and that doesn’t mean that I’m not here.”

With Pink Floyd unlikely to reunite ever again, Gov’t Mule will fill the void this summer by embarking on “The Dark Side of the Mule Tour.”
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Dark Side of the Moon, Gov’t Mule will perform Pink Floyd covers on a newly announced amphitheater tour. Each show will also feature a separate set of Gov’t Mule originals, as well as special guest opener Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening.
According to frontman Warren Haynes, the upcoming tour will mark the final “Dark Side of the Mule” performances. “This all started so organically with what we thought would be a one-time Halloween performance [in 2018]. Since then, ‘Dark Side of the Mule’ has grown into something else. It’s a blast to perform this material but our intent is to do it for one final tour in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Dark Side.

In many successful film franchises, there may be said to be an unspoken "rule of threequels." This rule dictates that the third film in a series is where things begin to unravel. The thinking goes as follows: A film is a hit, establishing a new character or world into cinema. The sequel, banking on the success of the first, will be larger, more exciting, and is often more ambitious. By the third film, however, the filmmakers -- in an effort to outdo film #2 -- either have to ratchet the action up to a near-intolerable levels, or take the action in a "new direction," often with disastrous results. One can see this dynamic at play in "Alien³," "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," "Return of the Jedi," "Death Wish 3," "X-Men: The Last Stand," "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift," "Spider-Man 3," "RoboCop 3," and "Halloween III: Season of the Witch.

Kit Hesketh-Harvey was one of those surprisingly rare performers whose personality was the same on stage as off. When I saw him in the many revues he would write and perform, the audience basked in his humour and genuine warmth.
You could say that Hesketh-Harvey was the last of the old-style Vaudevillians, keeping alive the spirit of Noël Coward, while unafraid to surprise his audience by stepping into the caustic territory of Barry Humphries. He always revelled in that quintessentially English humour, self-deprecating but biting, drawing on a world of shared references from British culture, while at the same time carving out its own originality.
His version of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “A Policeman’s Lot Is Not a Happy One” turned the jolly jape of a song into a critique of modern-day policing. “They want evidence that can’t be circumvented. So, invent it.” Delivered with such a smile,...

Few California singer-songwriters are as adored as Jackson Browne. Despite being born in Germany to an American serviceman, Browne has been synonymous with the golden state since the Sixties. Raised in the now overwhelmingly hip Los Angeles neighbourhood of Highland Park, he began his career as a teenager in the city’s famous folk clubs, before a short stint in New York with his lover and collaborator, Nico. He returned to LA when he was still only 19 and found himself at the centre of a blossoming folk-rock scene that included his friends Linda Ronstadt and Glenn Frey of the Eagles. Ever since, Browne’s emotive Laurel Canyon-adjacent sound has moved seamlessly with the decades, from swooning Seventies ballads to his Eighties rockers – not to mention a surprising experiment with reggae. Later came more socially conscious work, such as his 2020 benefit album for Haiti. There have also been numerous environmentalist initiatives...

Local cable news upstart Spectrum News 1 has taken the crown for the first time ever in Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards nominations. The outlet, which just launched in 2018, pulled 23 nominations this year, up from 19 last year. That puts it head of public broadcaster Kcet, which was in second with 15 nominations (down from 23 last year).
The Television Academy announced this year’s L.A. area Emmy noms on Tuesday. Among commercial broadcasters, Disney-owned Kabc-tv was tops with 14 noms (up from 12 nods), then Fox-owned Kttv with 11.
There was a sharp decline in Spanish-language nominees for some reason this year. TelevisaUnivision’s Kmex and Telemundo’s Keva tied at 8 each — way down from last year’s 21 for Kvea and 16 for Kmex.

Silk Sonic just swept all four of their nominations at the 2022 Grammy Awards, which didn’t only bring Bruno Mars‘s career total to 15 trophies from the Recording Academy, it also continued a remarkable undefeated streak for the singer-songwriter: he hasn’t lost a single Grammy since 2014. He’s eligible for more awards in 2023 since Silk Sonic’s full album, “An Evening with Silk Sonic,” wasn’t released until this eligibility period, but another artist with an equally remarkable winning streak is also eligible for awards in 2023 Adele. Since they could potentially compete in the same top categories, they can’t both stay undefeated.
Mars won his first Grammy at the very start of his recording career: Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for “Just the Way You Are” in 2011. Despite consistent nominations over the next couple of years, he didn’t win again until 2014, when he was nominated four times...

“Don’t Look Up” and “Coda” have won the top feature film awards from the Writers Guild of America, which held its annual WGA Awards on Sunday evening.
On the heels of its Producers Guild Award victory on Saturday, “Coda” kicked off the show by winning the first award of the night, for Best Adapted Screenplay. The category also included “Dune,” “Nightmare Alley,” “tick, tick…Boom!” and “West Side Story” — but two of the biggest challengers to “Coda” in the Oscar race for adapted screenplay, “The Power of the Dog” and “The Lost Daughter,” were not eligible for the award because of WGA regulations.
In the Best Original Screenplay category, “Don’t Look Up” scored a surprise victory over “Licorice Pizza,” which was favored to take the award, and “King Richard.” Two other Oscar nominees, “Belfast” and “The Worst Person in the World,” were ineligible.

Regina Hall is set to star and produce in the feature which is being written by Brooklyn Nine-Nine scribe Aeysha Carr and also produced by Jesse Collins.
The details of the new version are being kept under wraps. The original movie marked multi-Oscar winner Robert De Niro’s pivot into broad mainstream comedy, the actor playing Jack Walsh, a bounty hunter whose job it is to collect mob accountant, Jonathan Mardukas, played by the late Charles Grodin, and get him to Los Angeles.

ABC’s World News Tonight with David Muir again finished the season on top in total viewers and the key demographic, but all the network evening newscasts saw their viewership drop in 2020-21 versus a year earlier.
The newscast averaged 8.74 million total viewers, down 7% from 9.39 million a season earlier. NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt averaged 7.32 million, down 11% from 8.27 million; and CBS Evening News with Norah O’Donnell posted 5.4 million, down 8% from 5.86 million.
In the 25-54 demographic, World News Tonight averaged 1.69 million, off by 10% compared to 1.88 million a season earlier. NBC Nightly News averaged 1.41 million, down 21% from 1.78 million. CBS Evening News averaged 984,000, down 11% from 1.10 million.
In the 18-49 demo, World News Tonight averaged 1.17 million, off 8% from 1.27 million in the previous season. NBC averaged 982,000, down 20% from 1.23 million, and CBS posted 701,000, down 10% from 780,000.
News executives have largely attributed the erosion to the end of a momentous election year and to the spectacle of Donald Trump’s administration.

Len Tepper, who has led the investigative unit at CBS News, is leaving the network. Meanwhile, Caitlin Conant announced her departure as political director.
Tepper has been executive director of CBS News Investigations, which just last week produced a series on military domestic violence, a two-year investigative project in which almost 40 survivors were interviewed. In an interview with Deadline, O’Donnell credited Tepper, along with producers Kristin Steve and Adam Verdugo, for the series.
In an email to staff on Thursday, Tepper wrote, “It was a great honor to produce award winning investigative stories.” He thanked correspondents, bureau chiefs and executive and senior producers “who have supported and showcased the Unit’s work.”
“As I embark on the next chapter of my career, I wish you all the very best and keep fighting for quality journalism,” he wrote in the email, which was obtained by Deadline.

Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak teamed up to form the supergroup Silk Sonic, and we’ve been eagerly anticipating their album, “An Evening with Silk Sonic,” all year. But Rolling Stone recently reported that the album won’t be released until January 2022, so it won’t be eligible for consideration in the current Grammys cycle, whose eligibility period ends on September 30. But that doesn’t mean the prestigious duo won’t make a Grammys impact this year. Make or update your predictions here.
Silk Sonic released their debut single, “Leave the Door Open,” back in March, and they even performed it at the 2021 Grammys ceremony. The throwback R&b jam became a mainstay in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and reached number-one on the chart dated April 17. The nostalgic song could be catnip to Grammy voters, whose tastes often skew older and more musically conservative; as of...

We’re nearing the end of the Grammys eligibility period: August 31 is the deadline, after which new music releases will be up for consideration for the awards held in 2023. And as we near that crucial date, there has been a major shift in our odds. Based on the combined predictions of thousands of Gold Derby users, Olivia Rodrigo is now the front-runner to win Album of the Year for “Sour.”
Rodrigo has been a strong Grammy contender all year. Her breakthrough single “Drivers License” has been on top of our Record of the Year and Song of the Year odds since we launched our predictions center this past spring. But her album, which was released on May 21, has risen gradually and recently took over the top spot from Silk Sonic‘s “An Evening with Silk Sonic.”
Part of the reason may be that “An Evening with Silk Sonic,” from the...
