Dawn Richard’s lawsuit alleging longterm abuse by Sean “Diddy” Combs was dismissed on June 15, Billboard reports and court records confirm. A New York judge ruled that the statute of limitations prevents Richard from pursuing her 18 claims against the mogul, most of which became time-barred more than a decade ago. Richard’s lawyers had argued that matters of duress, including death threats by Combs, prevented Richard from taking timely action, but they failed to convince the judge that the statute of limitations could be waived. One of the 18 claims—alleging gender-motivated violence—was dismissed without prejudice and may be refiled in…

We're not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, especially if that horse is a 10-inch-tall faithful steed named Bullseye. So let's begin by accentuating the positive and acknowledging that Toy Story 5, the newest chapter of Pixar's flagship franchise, is essentially a reunion tour. It's all about nostalgia, playing the greatest hits, the joy of seeing old faces. Now in this case, hearing old voices, one in particular. Welcome back, Joan Cusack — her take on Jessie, the yodeling cowgirl that was introduced in Toy Story 2 over a quarter of a century ago, it has always…

Article by Marzia Picciano | Photo by Andrea Ripamonti It's been a little over a week since my first viewing of Kneecap live at 3am at Primavera Sound – I wasn't at Spring 2024 and above all, I missed them at Mad Cool of 2024 – yet here we are in a Magnolia summer (therefore, in the outfit of Another festival) overflowing for the first date of the Italian leg of the tour of the most talked about hip hop trio of the last months and years, either for hype, or because objectively Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap And DJ Provaí…

When filmmaker James Keach signed on to direct Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul, a new documentary about the Allman Brothers Band’s co-founder, he admits he knew the group’s music but wasn’t fully versed in the history. Then he had a conversation with his wife. “‘You have to do this movie,’” Keach recalls her saying. “‘They got me through school.’” It was a good decision by the director, who previously documented the life of Glen Campbell in I’ll Be Me (2014), and co-produced 2005’s Walk the Line, the Johnny and June Carter Cash biopic, and the 2019 Linda Ronstadt…

If he can get away with it, Sean Penn is planning on directing a biopic about the early life of a policeman who was present at the Jan. 6 insurrection. Bradley Cooper would play the cop, according to Variety. Deadline, which broke the story, mentions that the cop is “caught up” in the riots, but elides which side of the divide he’s on. But since Penn is involved, it’s fair to assume it’ll be an indictment of President Trump. Nevertheless, Deadline is calling the script “an unexpected story about friendship,” as opposed to a film explicitly about Jan. 6. The…

Johnny Marr is gearing up for his fifth solo LP, The Age of Everything. Check out the first single, “Spin,” and its accompanying video, below. The full project arrives October 2 via BMG.“The title came to me early in the process and became an inescapable idea,” Marr said in a statement about Everything’s origins. “It seemed to sum up the way I think a lot of people are feeling. It’s all encompassing, but it’s not necessarily a negative statement. There’s a sense of overwhelm in the culture brought about by technology, but looking at it with a different light, there…

Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan and Circle Jerks frontman Keith Morris marvel at the impact that the punk band DOA had in the Eighties in a clip from the new documentary, Something Better Change. “DOA was bigger than life,” McKagan says, heaping praise on the Canadian group fronted by Joey “Shithead” Keithley. “They were, to me, as big as Led Zeppelin. I owe so much to what I am today to him and to his band.” The film, which tells Keithley's story, is now available on streaming. In the clip, Morris recalls seeing DOA opening for X at the…

Donald Trump has claimed that the massive ballroom he's affixing to the White House wouldn't cost taxpayers a dime. Unsurprisingly, the president seems to have been lying through his teeth since the beginning. According to documents obtained by The Washington Post, the White House has known for months that the ballroom would likely cost much more than the $200 million he initially broadcast in July of last year, and that taxpayers would be on the hook for a significant portion of the construction costs. A project summary obtained by the Post shows that in early March, the White House was…
