Exclusive: Nick Jonas is near closed on a deal to star as Kiss lead singer Paul Stanley in Shout It Out Loud, the McG-directed film about the formation of the venerable hard rock band in the 1970s. The film will go into production at the end of the year or in early 2026, with STX fully financing. The most recent draft is by Darren Lemke. Previous drafts were done by Ole Sanders and the first writer of the script was William Herron.

I’m told that Jonas will do his own singing, and he’ll need time to train to replicate the jet-engine vocals of Stanley. Besides headlining in the sibling band The Jonas Brothers, Jonas has also proven his chops onscreen. His rise began with the 2016 toxic masculinity hazing drama Goat. He shone in the Mma series Kingdom, as a young gay man who grows up in a family...

Lotti Golden wasn’t about to miss her big chance. At the age of 17, while still a senior at Canarsie High School in Brooklyn, she’d landed a staff songwriting job with Saturday Music, a song publisher in midtown Manhattan. But Golden had bigger ambitions. So, when her boss, Bob Crewe, stepped into a crowded elevator with her one day at work, she knew she had to pitch him on making a record.

“I had never met him before. I’d never seen him around the office. He was elusive,...

Christian Petzold’s “Miroirs No. 3,” which has its world premiere on Saturday in Directors’ Fortnight, is set in present-day Germany but it evokes a gothic fairytale, albeit set in a landscape reminiscent of the American Mid-West.

At the start of the film, Laura, played by Paula Beer, is experiencing an undefined mental crisis but reluctantly agrees to go on a car journey with her boyfriend. After a mysterious accident, in which the boyfriend is killed, Laura is taken under the wing of a kind woman, Betty, played by Barbara Auer, who lives near the crash site.

The film unfolds like a fairytale, similar to the stories of Brothers Grimm, Petzold tells Variety. Betty is portrayed as a witch-like character, like the old woman in “Hansel and Gretel.” She lives on her own on the edge of town, where she gathers medicinal plants from the garden, and is viewed with suspicion by the villagers.

Just in Time star Jonathan Groff in currently in second place in Gold Derby's Tony Awards predictions for Best Actor in a Musical, only behind fellow Glee alum Darren Criss for Maybe Happy Ending. The former triumphed for Merrily We Roll Along just last year, so if he prevails again, he'd be the first individual in history to win this category consecutively.

Prior to Groff, five men were Tony nominated for Best Actor in a Musical two years in a row, but didn't emerge victorious:

Gregory Hines in 1980 for Comin' Uptown and 1981 for Sophisticated Ladies George Hearn in 1983 for A Doll's Life and 1984 for La Cage aux Folles (the latter of which resulted in a win) Patrick Wilson in 2001 for The Full Monty and 2002 for Oklahoma! Michael Cerveris in 2006 for Sweeney Todd and 2007 for LoveMusik Brian d'Arcy James in 2023 for Into the Woods and 2024 for Days of Wine and Roses...

A new stage musical adaptation of the popular 1999 film 10 Things I Hate About You is being developed for Broadway, with Carly Rae Jepsen and Ethan Gruska collaborating on the score and Lena Dunham and Jessica Huang at work on the book.

Two-time Tony winners Christopher Wheeldon will handle direction and choreography with Tom Kitt (Next To Normal) on music supervision, arrangements, and orchestrations. Mike Bosner will produce.

10 Things I Hate About You is a retelling of William Shakespeare’s 1594 play The Taming of the Shrew, and the film launched the careers of Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, showcasing a breakout performance by Alison Janney. The film became a generational touchstone with its keen insight into 1990s teen life as seen in a Seattle suburb.

Casting and a production timeline for the musical was not announced.

Jepsen launched a major music career with her 2012 hit “Call Me Maybe.

One of the most entertaining arcs of The Sopranos is definitely the sub-plot about New York's Lupertazzi Crime Family in season five. Many fans will often refer to the final season when discussing their favorite mafia-related conflict, in which New York and New Jersey went to war with each other. However, season five's inner conflict of the Lupertazzi Family is right up there with some of the best drama of the series. Tony and his family get caught in the middle of the only other true mob war that is depicted throughout the course of the series. During this season five arc, the sudden passing of Carmine Lupertazzi has sparked a power grab for control of the crime family. The two factions that go to war over who is going to be the next boss, break up the Lupertazzi family into supporters of either John Sacrimoni or Carmine Lupertazzi Jr.

With final Oscar balloting closed on February 18, we’re continuing with our eighth annual series of interviews with Academy voters from different branches for their unfiltered takes on what got picked, overlooked, and overvalued in the 2025 award season. Voter’s picks are in bold. Interview edited for brevity.

Best Picture

“Anora.” I went with “A Complete Unknown” for such a long time, for two months before I saw “Anora.” Just the balancing act of the humor, the tension, the male gaze sexiness, and [Anora’s] character being so aggressive and tough and not taking shit, this long-lost child inside. When that last scene happened, it broke your heart, and [Mikey Madison] was so good in it. And the boyfriend [Mark Eydelshteyn], from the moment he walked on the screen, I wanted to do violence to him. Every chance she gets, she would go in his lap and snuggle up and there’d be no conversation.

2024 was a massively successful year for horror movies, especially those from independent studios. With notable titles like A24's Heretic and a wide selection from Neon, including Longlegs, Cuckoo and Immaculate, the horror field saw an increase in audience reception. Looking toward the cinematic lineup in 2025, it's clear that the refreshing wave of new horror films is only growing.

Whether it's expanding franchises with anticipated, blood-curdling sequels or fresh takes on pre-established horror stories, 2025 contains a diversity of works that will have audiences squealing with joy and fear. If this year's releases are anywhere near replicative of last year's, long-time horror fans and apprehensive newcomers are in for a truly terrifying year.

Valentine’s Day has always been a time for romance, but Heart Eyes, the new slasher film from Spyglass and Screen Gems, is set to drench the holiday in blood. Arriving in cinemas on February 14, 2025 in the UK and Ireland (and February 7th in the US), the film redefines the season of love with a chilling premise: no couple is safe from the deadly “Heart Eyes Killer.”

Directed by Josh Ruben, Heart Eyes centres on the Heart Eyes Killer, a masked figure infamous for his Valentine’s Day killing sprees. For years, he’s targeted romantic couples, turning their celebrations into unspeakable tragedy. This year, the killer adds a macabre twist by stalking a pair of platonic co-workers he mistakenly believes are romantically involved. What ensues is a tense, blood-soaked game of survival as the characters navigate shadowy woods, a drive-in movie theatre, and other sinister settings, all while set...

Going into this year’s Grammys, each of the six nominees for Best Musical Theater Album has its own distinct advantages, from involvement of previous nominees/winners to encouraging statistics. So let’s consider the possibilities.

The frontrunner to win based on the official Gold Derby odds is Hell’s Kitchen. It’s a jukebox musical mining the song catalog of Alicia Keys, who also wrote a few original tunes for the show. Jukebox musicals in general tend to be catnip for voters in this category as they contain material voters are familiar with. Previous champs include Jersey Boys, which used the songs of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons; American Idiot, an adaptation of Green Day‘s eponymous 2004 concept album; Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, which featured Carole King‘s song catalog; and Jagged Little Pill, an adaptation of Alanis Morissette‘s 1995 album.

Keys has plenty of bona fides.

This year’s Grammy week will be looking a little different, as the show will take place shortly after Los Angeles was devastated by wildfires in the Pacific Palisades and Altadena. Music’s biggest night will mark the first awards show to take place in L.A. since the tragedy began on Jan. 7, and many of the typical Grammy events have been canceled as the usual players — including Spotify and the major labels — redirect resources to aid wildfire relief efforts.

However, a handful of events will carry on with a charitable component, including the starry Clive Davis party and MusiCares tribute concert. Check out this year’s still-on Grammys celebrations below.

The awards season of the year was inaugurated by the widely talked about 2025 Golden Globes. Now the rest of the annual events will follow as they recognise talents of various fields. Even though the unfortunate California wildfires have affected the programming of the awards, the ceremonies will still be hosted. From the SAG Awards and the Oscars to the Grammys.

The latter is one of the most recognised and renowned awards in the music industry. The 2025 edition is set to take place soon and here’s everything we know about it including the date, the streaming details, the performers, and what changes the wildfires have caused in the production of the event.

Iconic singer-songwriter Barry Manilow is in preparation for his nine-date 2025 Spring tour.

The tour will kick off on May 23 at the Ppg Paints Arena in Pittsburgh and continue across the country for seven more shows before concluding in Cleveland on June 5 at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.

Announcing the dates, Manilow said, “I couldn’t be more thrilled to visit these great cities of which I have so many fond memories.” He added, “Each one is special to my touring history.”

With over 85 million albums sold worldwide, Manilow is one of the world’s all-time best-selling recording artists, perhaps best known for his hit ‘Copacabana’, a long-time favorite of divorced dads. With 52 top 40 singles, Manilow is ranked the #1 Adult Contemporary Artist of all time (according to Billboard), and has won a Grammy, Tony and Emmy.

The Recording Academy says its Clive Davis Gala and Special Merit Awards will go on during Grammy week but has canceled its Black Music Collective event honoring Alicia Keys.

Each of the Academy’s events, including MusiCares’ Person of the Year and the Grammys telecast, will now have a fundraising element. And since launching the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort to Support Music Professionals last week, the Academy and MusiCares have raised and pledged more than $2 million in emergency aid.

“We understand how devastating this past week has been on this city and its people,” Harvey Mason Jr., Academy and MusiCares CEO, says in a statement. “This is our home, it’s home to thousands of music professionals, and many of us have been negatively impacted. So after thoughtful consideration, and multiple assurances from state and local elected leaders, public safety agencies, and with support from our incredible artist community,...

The next Heart Eyes trailer has debuted, teasing a terrifying Valentine’s Day slasher starring Mason Gooding and Olivia Holt. Directed by Josh Ruben and written by Michael Kennedy and Christopher Landon, the creative minds behind Happy Death Day, the film follows the “Heart Eyes Killer,” a masked murderer who turns Valentine’s Day into a deadly curse for romantic couples. Gooding, known for his roles in Scream (2022) and Scream VI, stars alongside Holt (Totally Killer) in a genre-bending story where "no couple is safe." The cast also features Jordana Brewster, Gigi Zumbado, and Devon Sawa.

Sony Pictures Entertainment has released an official trailer for Heart Eyes, which releases on February 7. What starts as a classic rom-com meet-cute between Gooding and Holt’s characters—complete with a shared coffee mix-up—quickly turns sinister. Set to a chilling rendition of Frankie Valli's "Can’t Take My Eyes Off You," the Heart Eyes Killer,...

The highly anticipated album features collaborations from Kendrick Lamar, Lil Yachty, and Benny Blanco. This serves as the deluxe edition of Sos, which won three Grammys for Sza in 2022 for Best Progressive R&b Album, Best R&b Song (“Snooze”), and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (“Ghost In The Machine”). Fans previously assumed Lana would be released in February, as that’s when the “Saturn” song dropped, but now it’s finally here. Is it worth the wait?

John Oliver kicked off Last Week Tonight with an extended segment on the natural disasters that have hit the eastern coast of the United States in recent weeks amid hurricane season.

Throughout the introductory bit, Oliver joshed about everything and everyone from Dancing With the Stars to president Joe Biden, with a number of minutes dedicated to Southern breakfast food joint Waffle House, the Index of which serves as an unofficial but much relied-upon metric by Fema categorizing the severity of extreme weather storms.

First off, he played a clip of Alfonso Ribeiro introducing a number set to Scorpions’ classic “Rock You Like a Hurricane,” a line the host delivered somberly as he said the choice was made “weeks in advance” of Hurricane Milton’s path toward Florida.

The iconic Four Seasons frontman Frankie Valli has assured fans he is not being forced to perform despite recent viral footage raising doubts.

The 90-year-old singer, best known for songs like “Sherry” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” seemed weak during several of his performances, raising concerns about his health and charges against him by his management group over potential elder abuse.

More Details On Valli’s Viral Stage Performance

Videos circulating on platforms like TikTok showed Valli seemingly disoriented on stage. He was behind on choreography in some clips, while others suggested he missed lyrics.

Social media users expressed worry, with comments ranging from calls for someone to intervene to outright accusations that his continued performances amounted to elder abuse.

One user on X (formerly Twitter) went as far as to say, “Whoever keeps sending Frankie Valli out on stage at this point is committing elder abuse.

Over the weekend, a video of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons went viral on X (formerly Twitter). It wasn’t a throwback from the height of their career, but a more recent clip of the group performing “Bye, Bye, Baby” on their ongoing farewell tour. “Whoever keeps sending Frankie Valli out on stage at this point is committing elder abuse,” one social media user wrote. Valli, who is 90 years old, admittedly seems a little spaced out in the video. But the musician responded to the viral moment to defend...

Frankie Valli is speaking out in a lengthy statement amid concern that he is being forced to continue performing at the age of 90.

The legendary Four Seasons frontman sparked concern lately after recent performance videos went viral on social media. Clips have shown him looking “exhausted” on stage and missing the lyrics while performing, prompting some to believe he is lip syncing.

Watch here and here.

Now, Frankie is responding to all of the chatter.

Keep reading to find out more…

“I know there has been a lot of stuff on the internet about me lately so I wanted to clear the air,” Frankie said in a statement to People. “I am blessed to be 90 years old and still be doing what I love to do and as long as I am able, and audiences want to come see me, I am going to be out there performing as I always.

Frankie Valli, the legendary crooner and frontman of the Four Seasons, turned 90 this past May but continues to maintain a robust touring schedule, with concerts planned well into 2025. However, recent concert footage of the singer has gone viral on social media over the last few weeks, with many expressing concern over his well-being.

Many of the clips show Valli singing with the microphone far below his mouth. He often struggles to keep up with the music, barely moving his lips as backing tracks play. At other times, he seems to miss his cues entirely. Making the scenes all the more jarring is the juxtaposition of the much younger Four Seasons members singing and dancing in the background, along with the accompaniment of a full band.

Understandably, many people in the comments expressed their concern for Valli. “This is a tough watch,” one person wrote. “This is cruel,” another person commented.

Netflix’s The Perfect Couple series is coming on September 5th and will bring more murder mysteries to the streaming platform. The limited series is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Elin Hilderbrand. The full trailer has officially been released and it will have viewers on the edge of their seats.

What is The Perfect Couple Hiding?

Netflix is loving Nicole Kidman this year as she starred in the rom-com, A Family Affair alongside Zac Efron and Joey King. However, she is steering away from the romantic comedies this time. Back to her Big Little Lies roots, Kidman plays novelist Greer who awaits the wedding of her son Benji and Amelia Sacks with her husband, Tag.

However, before the wedding can even begin, a dead body appears on the beach. Keeping the truth from the local cops leads everyone to appear guilty.

Which performance received the best reviews at Cannes? Cher managed to conquer this year’s film festival even without appearing on screen.

At 12:30 a.m. in the South of France, decked out in a dazzling sequined purple pantsuit, Cher took the stage at Cannes amfAR, the charity gala devoted to raising money for research for HIV and AIDS. “I thought you guys would be drunk, but obviously you’re not,” Cher said after performing an acoustic rendition of “Walking in Memphis,” the Marc Cohn ballad she covered on her 1995 album “It’s a Man’s World,” that had hundreds of guests cheering her on.

Three songs later — and one costume change into a black sparkling jacket over couture negligee — Cher had emerged victorious. The crowd at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc would have given her the biggest standing ovation of Cannes, except they never sat during her 15-minute set.

Legendary singer Frankie Valli received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last Friday (May 3) and had his family by his side, well, except for his eldest son, Francesco. Valli, 90, was joined for the momentous occasion by his twin sons Emilio and Brando and his wife, Jackie. But Francesco, who earlier this week had a temporary restraining order against him made permanent for the next three years, was noticeably absent. “This is really a highlight of my life, especially having my sons here and my wife sitting right there,” Valli told the crowd during his Walk of Fame ceremony. According to People, Francesco’s brother Emilio filed the restraining order last month. After a hearing in Los Angeles on Monday, April 29, a judge signed off on the order of protection for Frankie and Emilio against Francesco, which will last until April 29, 2027. Brando Valli, Frankie Valli and Emilio Valli attend...

Singer Frankie Valli‘s son, Emilio, has been granted a temporary restraining order against his brother, Francesco. In recent months, Emilio claims that Francesco has repeatedly threatened to harm him and their famous father.

The request for the restraining order was filed on April 8 by Emilio, 29, in Los Angeles. In the filing, Emilio stated that Francesco, 36, attempted to break into their father’s property on April 5. During the incident, while waiting for law enforcement to arrive, Francesco allegedly made multiple physical threats to harm or even kill both Frankie and Emilio. Emilio asserted that this behavior is part of a pattern that has persisted for several months.

Emilio indicated in the filing that the family believes Francesco is struggling with addiction to opiates. While Frankie has been providing financial support to his son, Emilio claims that the support is now conditional on Francesco agreeing to enter a residential drug treatment program.

The five artists chosen for the 2024 Kennedy Center Honors are likely being informed now in the month of April about their selections.

Stevie Wonder closed the multi-hour, all-star Clive Davis pre-Grammy gala with a rousing harmonica performance, a strong vocal delivery and words of positivity.

The icon was joined by Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick, Andra Day, Keyshia Cole and Frederic Yonnet for performances of “That’s What Friends Are For” and “What the World Needs Now Is Love,” cutting off the latter song to tell the audience — which included Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks and Cher — that “music is love [and] let us use the gift of love that we’ve been given by the Almighty to make a difference in the world.”

“I’ve been blessed to be alive, but I’ve been blessed to see everyone — not seeing you physically — but seeing you spiritually,” Wonder said at the gala that ended early Sunday morning. “And what breaks my heart is to know that we’re still talking about the same thing that...

Norby Walters, a music agent who worked with Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Marvin Gaye, Kool & the Gang and Public Enemy before gaining renown in Hollywood for his annual “Night of 100 Stars” Oscar party and weekly poker game, has died. He was 91.

Walters died Dec. 10 of natural causes at an assisted living facility in Burbank, his son, producer Gary Michael Walters (Whiplash), told The Hollywood Reporter.

Walters hosted his first Oscar night gala in 1990 and the last in 2017, most often inside the Beverly Hilton’s Crystal Ballroom. Among those who attended were Shirley Jones, Robert Forster, Charles Bronson, Patricia Neal, Richard Dreyfuss, Eva Marie Saint, Martin Landau, Louis Gossett Jr., J.K.

Family Switch's soundtrack blends Christmas themes with classic songs from various genres, capturing the essence of this offbeat family comedy. The music reflects the characters' emotions and their transformation into a more loving and understanding family throughout the film. The inclusion of holiday classics in the soundtrack reminds viewers that Family Switch takes place during the most magical time of the year.

Family Switch's soundtrack mixes the themes of Christmas with plenty of classic songs spanning several genres, which is perfect for this wacky family comedy. The Netflix body-swap film is full of outrageously hilarious moments, but, at its core, it's a family movie that drives home the importance of taking time to walk in someone else's shoes. Though it doesn't contain many features of a traditional Christmas film, the spackling of classic holiday songs reminds audiences that Family Switch is set during the most magical time of the year.

In his home office in Nashville, Cidny Bullens glances at a photo perched behind him: a young, pouty-faced 28-year-old in a Superman T-shirt, cradling an electric guitar. “I look at me as a different person,” says Bullens, who now sports short hair and a wisp of a mustache. “I don’t say, ‘Oh, that’s a great picture.’ It’s like an entity, you know.”

That photo adorned the cover of Desire Wire, the 1978 debut album by the artist then-known as Cindy Bullens. By the time of its release, Bullens had a formidable résumé,...

Long before Live Nation, Clear Channel, Ticketmaster, Stubhub, service fees, gold-circle seats, and anything that even resembles the live music industry as we know it today, there was Ron Delsener. The 87-year-old concert promoter has been booking shows in New York City going all the way back to the summer of 1964, when he brought the Beatles to Forest Hills Tennis Stadium for two nights. (Tickets were $5.50 plus a 45-cent federal tax.)

In the decades that followed, Delsener grew into the undisputed live music kingpin of New York, booking thousands upon...

We can’t take our eyes off this couple!

Frankie Valli, the falsetto-voiced frontman of the Four Seasons, best known for his hits “Sherry,” “December, 1963” and “Grease”, married longtime love Jackie Jacobs in Las Vegas Monday at the Westgate Hotel, Et confirmed.

Speaking to the People following the loved-up affair Valli said, “It’s terrific to have found love once again at this stage of my life.”

Valli, 89, and Jacobs, 60, exchanged vows in a private ceremony with just the two of them, while Valli’s 1967 hit, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You,” played in the background.

As for the venue, it’s a special one for Valli, who is set to kick off a year-long residency at the Westgate with the Four Seasons later this year.

In photos shared by the outlet, Jacobs, a former CBS marketing executive, wore a white bridal gown and was all smiles as she celebrated the special occasion.

Ms. Lauryn Hill staged a surprise Fugees reunion during her solo headlining set at Philadelphia’s 2023 Roots Picnic on Saturday, bringing together the hip-hop trio for the first time since their 2021 comeback tour was delayed, and eventually canceled.

The group reconvened at the end of the New Jersey singer-rapper’s stacked set, which comprised most of her 1998 Album of the Year winner, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Following her fan-favorite cover of Frankie Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” Hill introduced her long-time bandmates, Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel, by exclaiming, “These are my brothers!”

The six-song mini-set closed out her performance and included the title track from their 1996 album The Score as well as certified classics like “How Many Mics,” “Zealots,” “Ready or Not,” and “Killing Me Softly.” They wrapped with the self-referential anthem, “Fu-Gee-La.” Watch fan-captured footage of Lauryn Hill’s set, plus the Fugees reunion,...

Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies is set four years before the story it's based on, but breaks musical rules that make its story even better. Grease opened on Broadway in 1972 and was turned into the highest-grossing movie musical in 1978, though the story is set in 1959, with music by Jim Jacobs, Warren Casey, and John Farrar to match. The Rise of the Pink Ladies series is set in the mid-1950s and takes a different approach to the music, but it’s this specific rule-breaking from the source material that improves its story.

As successful as the Grease film was, its soundtrack was just as, if not more, successful. It expanded on the score from the Broadway show, adding four huge songs, “Grease,” "Sandy," "You're the One That I Want," and the Academy Award- and Grammy-nominated “Hopelessly Devoted to You.” Grease was such a success that it even spawned a sequel,...
