Former To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen is bickering with the producers of Primetime, the Robert Pattinson-starring film about the NBC series, over an alleged NDA he refused to sign in order to preview the movie. Hansen appeared on Fox News on Thursday to discuss the incident, claiming he went to the A24 offices in New York to watch Primetime ahead of the film’s Venice Film Festival premiere next month. However, prior to viewing, Hansen was presented with a non-disclosure agreement that his legal team — upon previewing the NDA — advised him not to sign. “The lawyers at…
Earlier this summer, New Translations were among the scene-stealers at a rock & roll takeover during CMA Fest in Nashville. The Music City indie-rock band, led by the charismatic frontperson Oliver Pierce, brought their synth sounds and kinetic stage show to Jon Bon Jovi’s honky-tonk downtown for a daylong bill headlined by Cage the Elephant. It was as weird, and invigorating, as it sounds. On Friday, New Translations debuted one of the new songs they’ve been working on with producer Yves Rothman (Blondshell): “Modern Lovers” is a blast of hypnotic synth-pop that finds Pierce craving a time when life seemed…

Don’t let the Druski skits fool you: Belly Gang Kushington can rap. Part Jeezy, part Bankroll Fresh, he’s such a dogged trap revivalist that if you told me 15 years ago he was cryogenically frozen like in Universal Soldier, I’d believe you. The drug dealing imagery isn’t nearly as vivid or tense as his forefathers, but like them, he has an uncanny ability to capture a slice of Atlanta life from his point of view: girls doing hair in the kitchen, downing a plate of wings at Lucky Panda, Magic City nights. “From the city where everybody rich and no…

This is what happens when 11 family members and a nutty-eyebrowed son-in-law running for Congress stop being polite and start getting real on a sketchily funded junket across the United States. The Great American Road Trip released all six episodes Wednesday on YouTube after many delays. It tells the heartwarming story of U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, his wife Rachel Campos-Duffy, and their nine children, three boys and six girls, as they travel across the country celebrating the nation’s 250th birthday. Camera crews are not new to Sean and Rachel. The two met, as star-crossed lovers often do, on Road…
Fans have paid tribute following news that former Queen bassist Barry Mitchell has died. The news was shared on Facebook earlier this week by Greg Brooks, the band’s official archivist. “Terribly sad news just received that early Queen bass player (circa 1970), Barry Mitchell, has passed away,” the post read. “His anecdotes at the convention were fascinating and offered rare insight. He will be greatly missed.” Mitchell was the second bassist in the band, joining after the departure of founding member Mike Grose. He stayed in the band between August 1970 and January 1971 – two years before their breakthrough…
“This is a classic rock & roll tale,” Mike Montali, singer of the Queens rock & roll band Hollis Brown, says. “A guitarist with a big ego and a lead singer with a probably bigger ego can’t get on the same page and it takes one of the other band members to kind of facilitate it.” In this case, it was Hollis Brown’s drummer Andy Zehnal who helped facilitate a truce between Montali and founding guitarist Jonathan Bonilla. It seems to have worked. On Friday, the group released their first new music since their acrimonious breakup in 2023. Titled “Garage…

Check out the cover art and tracklist below.To record Alchemical Sisters, Octo Octa and Eris drew converted the bedroom of their New Hampshire cabin into a home studio.
