This sounds like a match made in artistic heaven. In one corner, you have Zendaya, one of the best actresses of her generation working today, and on the other, you have director Barry Jenkins, fresh off of Mufasa: The Lion King and looking to make a film that gets him back to his creative roots. The pair is joining forces on a new project for A24 that is based on the life of a legendary singer that could end up being a career-defining role for the young star.

Per Deadline, Zendaya and Jenkins are teaming up on a film about legendary singer Ronnie Spector. The project will be scripted by Dave Kajganich, who has a working connection to director Luca Guadagnino on films such as his Suspiria remake and Bones and All. That connection is even more complete with Zendaya, who did superb work on last year's Guadagnino-directed Challengers. Jenkins...

Ryan Reynolds is one of Hollywood's most popular leading men, with a series of successful blockbusters. However, nothing comes close to his passion project, the Deadpool franchise.

While Reynolds is caught in the It Ends With Us legal battle, where he is named a defendant in Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit, the actor is not neglecting his ties to Deadpool. In a new post on X, Ryan Reynolds celebrated a major milestone with the character: one decade together.

Eddie Money, the multiplatinum singer-songwriter best known for his ’70s and ’80s Top 40 hits like “Take Me Home Tonight” and “Two Tickets to Paradise,” sadly died on Sept. 13, 2019, at age 70 from stage 4 esophageal cancer. While building his successful music career, Money found love and married Laurie Harris in 1989. They had five children during their long marriage, and even renewed their vows just three months before his death. Many of the Money children followed in their father’s footsteps and have sparked music careers of their own, touring with Eddie as his opening acts and playing in his band up until his death. You may also remember meeting Money’s family and their eight dogs on the reality show Real Money in 2018. Money said that he was a big fan of the reality show The Osbournes and hoped his family’s own reality show would help jumpstart his kids’ music careers.

The Iron Claw chronicles the rise to fame of the Von Erich brothers, a family of pro wrestlers from Texas whose lineage was riddled with tragedy. The Iron Claw soundtrack features a handful of '70s rock classics and a few country numbers. Arcade Fire's Richard Reed Parry, who composed the film's score, also wrote an original song for The Iron Claw with his wife called "Live That Way Forever," which is performed by one of the characters in the film.

Although the events of the film are devastating, The Iron Claw's soundtrack is full of upbeat era and setting-specific songs. Written and directed by Sean Durkin, The Iron Claw tells the true story of the Von Erich brothers from Texas, whose lineage was said to be "cursed" due to the many tragedies their family endured before, during, and after their rise to fame as pro wrestlers in the '80s.

Dolly Parton is celebrating her birthday Friday, January 19th, with a new deluxe edition of her November album Rockstar that includes fresh tracks.

“It’s my Birthday so I’m going to give you a present!” our November cover star wrote on Twitter. “I’m releasing four never released songs for my birthday, to go with the Rockstar album, and a few others that you may have heard before that were not on the album.

Fifty-six years and 49 albums into her music career, Dolly Parton has a new milestone to celebrate. The country legend’s album Rockstar recently became the singer’s highest-charting LP ever, debuting at Number Three on the Billboard 200 chart.

“Wow, this is a big thrill!” Parton said in a statement. “I owe a thank you to the fans who have always been there for me. Their support made this achievement possible.”

“I’d also like to thank my producer Kent Wells, all the wonderful artists, musicians, and engineers who brought their talents to this project,...

Dolly Parton’s promotional push behind her new album Rockstar has been as well-planned as a military operation. The country music superstar has been everywhere, from an hourlong interview on ABC earlier this month to the field at the University of Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium last weekend, where she sang the Volunteers’ rally song “Rocky Top.” On Thanksgiving Day, Parton continued her campaign, showing up in Arlington, Texas, to perform at AT&T Stadium during halftime of the Dallas Cowboys – Washington Commanders NFL game.

And, wow, did she make an entrance.

Dolly Parton isn’t done rocking yet. After sharing her new album Rockstar last week, our November cover star has returned with two new bonus tracks: Her rendition of the Eddie Money’s “Two Tickets to Paradise,” plus a new version of her classic “Jolene” featuring Måneskin.

The Måneskin-assisted version of “Jolene” is available exclusively with the digital download version of Rockstar on Parton’s website, though the country icon did share a preview of the duet on Instagram. It sounds like the new recording stays fairly faithful to the original, with Måneskin’s Damiano David taking on co-lead vocals with Parton.

“Jolene” appears on the deluxe edition of Rockstar, which also features guest features from Sting, Steve Perry, Joan Jett, Mick Fleetwood, Pat Benatar, Brandi Carlile, and many, many more. See a preview clip of Måneskin’s take on “Jolene” below.

Dolly Parton couldn’t wait more than a weekend to start expanding her new rock album, Rockstar, quipping on Instagram yesterday, “Surprise! Did you all think I was done?”

As part of the “download exclusive version” of the album, Parton has tacked on two extra tracks: A new rendition of her classic “Jolene” featuring Måneskin, as well as a cover of Eddie Money’s 1977 hit, “Two Tickets To Paradise.

As it stands, the two bonus cuts are only available if you purchase the downloadable version of Rockstar on Parton’s website.

Update, writethru: There was a varied offering at the international box office this weekend with newcomers from Hollywood and offshore markets, as well as notable holds, as we inch closer to full-on action later in October.

Big overseas entries included Mani Ratnam’s historical epic Ponniyin Selvan: Part 1 in a strong debut in India and abroad. Also new was China’s Home Coming, which, although it did about 60M in the home market, wasn’t a patch on last year’s National Day blockbuster The Battle at Lake Changjin (more on those below).

Our beloved earth angel, Ronnie, peacefully left this world today after a brief battle with cancer. She was with family and in the arms of her husband, Jonathan.

Her joyful sound, playful nature and magical presence will live on in all who knew, heard or saw her.

Zendaya will play Ronnie Spector in A24’s upcoming adaptation of the iconic rock and roll singer’s 1990 biography Be My Baby: How I Survived Mascara, Miniskirts, And Madness, according to Variety. The 24-year-old Zendaya recently made history as the youngest actress to win an Emmy lead actress in a drama series. She is only the second Black woman to win the award, after Viola Davis for her role on How to Get Away with Murder in 2015. Spector personally chose Zendaya to portray her.

Former Disney Channel star Zendaya won the Emmy for her role as Rue in HBO’s Euphoria, which is produced by A24. The independent entertainment company is teaming with New Regency again. They are also working with them on the Malcolm & Marie film and previously worked together on The Lighthouse, which was directed by Robert Eggers. Zendaya is also one of producers, along with Marc Platt,...

Zendaya is in talks to star in a biopic about the life and career of Ronnie Spector, The Ronettes singer known for songs like “Be My Baby” and “The Best Part of Breakin’ Up,” that A24 and New Regency are teaming up on.

Marc Platt would produce the film, and A24 has acquired the life rights for Spector and the rights to Spector’s autobiography “Be My Baby,” which she wrote with Vince Waldron. No director or writer is formally attached.

Zendaya would also produce the film if her deal closes, and Spector would also executive produce with Johnathan Greenfield.

Ronnie Spector was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the Ronettes in 2007 as the original “bad girl of rock and roll,” and the trio produced two Top 100 hits in 1965 after being signed by Phil Spector, whom she married in 1968. After the group broke up, she launched...

Updated: I’ve learned that A24 will team on the Ronnie Spector film with New Regency. The two partnered previously on the Robert Eggers-directed The Lighthouse, and they are part of the Malcolm & Marie film.

Exclusive: A24 is putting together a film package that will have Emmy-winning Euphoria star Zendaya attached to play singer Ronnie Spector in a film about her life. Deals have just closed for Spector’s life rights and for Be My Baby, the memoir she wrote with Vince Waldron. I’m hearing that early conversations are happening with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury to write the script.

The film will be produced by Marc Platt, Adam Siegel, Mark Itkin, Tom Shelly and Zendaya. Jonathan Greenfield and Spector will be the exec producers.

Much the way that Aretha Franklin personally endorsed Jennifer Hudson to play her in the upcoming MGM biopic Respect, Spector chose...

A judge has dismissed an age discrimination claim brought by former “Simpsons” composer Alf Clausen, who was fired from the show in 2017.

Judge Michael L. Stern granted a motion to strike the claim in a ruling on Friday, finding that Twentieth Century Fox had a free speech right to choose the composer for the show.

The producers have said in court filings that they decided to terminate Clausen after they became dissatisfied with his work on a hip-hop themed episode. The producers felt that Clausen, who was 75 at the time, was not comfortable with rap or hip-hop music, and they were worried about keeping the show relevant.

They also became concerned that Clausen was farming out much of the work to his son, according to court filings. The show ultimately hired Bleeding Fingers Music, a composer collective that made greater use of synth music, cutting the show’s music costs by 40%.

In his ruling,...

NBC has been home to quite a lot of successful comedy shows over the years, including such immensely popular series as Friends, Seinfeld, Parks and Recreation and 30 Rock. But as beloved as all of those shows have remained, one specific workplace series has become one of modern television’s most influential entries and is still one of Netflix’s most consistently viewed shows even over half a decade after its final episode aired.

The Office has captivated fans all over the world with its lovable and fallible characters, outrageously funny writing and cringe-inducing moments that can make even the most stoic person writhe in humorous discomfort. This is largely thanks to series creators Michael Schur and Greg Daniels, who took what worked about the British version of the show and Americanized it to make it appeal to a broader audience, basically handing NBC a huge hit on a platter...

On the “American Idol” season 18 finale on Sunday, Just Sam pulled off an upset over Arthur Gunn, who had been the frontrunner all season long. In our overnight poll, a whopping 41% of those weighing in wanted Arthur to win and think that he was robbed of the season 18 title. Arthur earned far more votes than Just Sam, who has only 25% of the total tally as of this writing. And he outpolled the other three artists in the Top 5: Dillon James (10%), Francisco Martin (13%) and Jonny West (11%).

What do you think? Did Just Sam deserve to win “American Idol”? Or do you think Arthur Gunn was robbed of the season 18 championship? Even though he lost on May 18, this singer/songwriter from Kansas could end up the big winner. His talents were showcased in the finale as he got the chance to sing two songs.

After Seacrest announced that Sam had won this third edition of the ABC version of “American Idol,” she was not given the chance to perform her winner’s single, “”Rise Up.” While that cover of the R&b track by Andra Day sounds like a winner, Sam was not expected to take the title.

Arthur Gunn had been the frontrunner all season long, ever since his audition video went viral back in early March. This singer/songwriter performed the Bob Dylan classic “Girl...

American Idol hosted its first-ever virtual finale on Sunday, crowning the winner of Season 18 from a distance of six feet… and many miles.

The first order of business was trimming the remaining seven contestants down to five, which meant the elimination of two more fan favorites. After tallying the nationwide vote based on last Sunday’s episode, Ryan Seacrest announced that Julia Gargano and Louis Knight were going staying home. This left the Top 5 — Dillon James, Jonny West, Arthur Gunn, Francisco Martin and Just Sam — to sing for America’s real-time votes.

Four years have passed since its last LP, California Nights, and frontwoman Bethany Cosentino has sobered up and turned her life around.

James Hetfield staged his first live performance since his rehab stay, delivering an acoustic rendition of Eddie Money’s “Baby Hold On” at a tribute to the late singer on Thursday.

The Metallica singer wasn’t among the announced guests at the Tribute to Eddie Money — led by Sammy Hagar, George Thorogood, Rick Springfield, and others — at the Saban in Beverly Hills, but Hetfield used the opportunity to return to the stage for the first time since September 2019; soon after, Metallica canceled a planned Australian tour as Hetfield re-entered a rehabilitation facility.

Country singer Keith Urban and his wife, actress Nicole Kidman, have pledged a $500,000 donation to services battling the massive bushfires in Australia, where both entertainers grew up.

We are donating $500,000 to the Rural Fire Services who are all doing and giving so much right now,” wrote Urban on Twitter, including a similar list of fire services to the one Pink published upon announcing her donation.

Keith Urban carried on his tradition of honoring musicians who died in the past year by performing a medley of their hits during his New Year’s Eve headlining concert in Nashville this week.

The singer-guitarist began the seven-minute medley with Roxette’s “It Must Have Been Love.” The Swedish band’s singer Marie Fredriksson died at 61 on December 9th. From there, Urban dove into the Captain & Tenille’s “Love Will Keep Us Together” in honor of the Captain, Daryl Dragon. “Just Once” for James Ingram and a rendition of 1956’s “Que Sera,...

The pair also logged four chart-topping LPs as a duo between 1973 and 1976.

Following the death of Eddie Money, Ronnie Spector – the Ronettes legend whose career was revitalized in the Eighties thanks to her appearance on Money’s 1986 hit “Take Me Home Tonight” – paid tribute to the singer.

As he himself would have admitted, Eddie Money was no one’s idea of a conventional rock star. His stage moves were always a little gawky and spasmodic, his borderline hoarse voice in need of a lozenge or two. Emerging during the punk era though never part of it, he preferred the stadium-friendly shout-along choruses of mainstream rock and adopted the suit-and-tie New Wave look while keeping his hair unfashionably long. He was even an NYPD cop — a career move that, while utterly honorable, didn’t jibe with the traditional,...
