Never Let Go: "From visionary director Alexandre Aja and the creative minds behind Stranger Things and Arrival comes Never Let Go. In this new psychological thriller/horror, as an Evil takes over the world beyond their front doorstep, the only protection for a mother, played by Academy Award® winner Halle Berry, and her twin sons is their house and their family’s protective bond. Needing to stay connected at all times – even tethering themselves with ropes – they cling to one another, urging each other to never let go. But when one of the boys questions if the evil is real, the ties that bind them together are severed, triggering a terrifying fight for survival."

Netflix is adding to its sports docuseries lineup with three new shows centered on the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics as well as Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
In partnership with the International Olympic Committee, Netflix is doing docuseries on gymnastics great Simone Biles, the U.S. men’s basketball team, and Olympic track athletes, the last of which was ordered last year and is now titled “Sprint.”
The Biles series is titled “Simone Biles: Rising,” and will debut its first part in July ahead of the Summer Games. The series consists of four 45-minute episodes. The official description states:
“Simone Biles has unfinished business. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she was one of the biggest stories leading into the Games. But in sport, as in life, competitions do not always go as planned. And for Simone, the world had a front row seat as her private struggle with mental health exploded on...

Netflix is getting into the Olympic spirit with its newest batch of sports documentaries.
The streamer has partnered with the International Olympic Committee on three series following gymnastics superstar Simone Biles and athletes in men’s basketball and track and field. Filmmaking teams for the three shows will gain access to the athletes and venues at the summer games in Paris.
Separately, Netflix has ordered a series about the Dallas Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones, with a focus on the team’s dominant years in the early and mid-1990s. The company made the announcements as part of its first-ever upfront on Wednesday — where it also announced its biggest push into live sports so far with a deal to carry NFL games on Christmas for the next three years.

Hacks star Hannah Einbinder is opening up about how the significant impact that starting and stopping the Adhd medication Adderall had on her comedic abilities, and how, until very recently and despite accumulating multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, she dealt with imposter syndrome.
The 28-year-old comedian reflected on her life and career during a recording of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast at Chapman University’s film school, from which she graduated in 2017.
“[This is] probably the number one worst group of people to be anti this thing, too,” Einbinder joked with the crowd, “but I had a bad experience with Adderall.” She shared that she has Adhd and took a “high prescription of Adderall” throughout high school, but that something felt off. “For many years, I felt like it kind of zombified me and took away my spark and stopped me from being present in my experience.”

Is there any actor who casually oozes coolness like Kurt Russell?
As with anyone in Hollywood, the young Russell had to earn his stripes. Upon signing a contract with the Mouse House, he started out anchoring a collection of zany Disney comedies in the '60s and '70s, including "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes," "The Strongest Man in the World," and "The Barefoot Executive," a movie that paired him opposite a chimpanzee. Beginning with their 1979 made-for-tv "Elvis" biopic, however, Russell and director John Carpenter collaborated on a series of highly efficient yet firmly modest genre films, many of which became cult hits and cemented their too-cool-for-school reputation.
Russell has only continued to evolve his legacy in the 21st century, starring in everything from cult favorites as worlds apart as "Sky High" and "Bone Tomahawk" to Quentin Tarantino joints and blockbuster franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and The Fast...

Chicago P.D. is on an extended spring hiatus as the show takes a break before its race to the season finale.
This is unfortunate timing, as the recent episodes of the show had ramped up fans’ interest, with Intelligence tracking a serial killer and then wrapping up the Torres undercover case.
At the same time, many fans may be upset that it feels like the season just began. The season premiere debuted in January, and the season finale will arrive in May.
Two Hollywood strikes delayed the production of the One Chicago shows. Many cast and crew members took to the picket lines to fight for better benefits.
And coming up soon, one of the main characters is leaving Intelligence for good. Many online rumors have fans guessing what will happen to Detective Hailey Upton (played by Tracy Spiridakos).

“Fast Car” continues to drive Luke Combs and Tracy Chapman to the top — this time, at the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards.
Combs is the top contender this year with eight nominations, competing for entertainer of the year as well as single and song of the year with “Fast Car.” He shares the latter nomination with Chapman, who wrote the song alone and had major success with it in 1988, 35 years before Combs brought new life to the track and made it a country hit.
Chapman won in the same category at last year’s Country Music Association Awards, becoming the first Black person to do so. She and Combs earned praise for teaming up for a live performance of the song at February’s Grammy Awards, where Combs was nominated for his version of the song; Chapman won two Grammys for her original version.

Six months after receiving the Global Icon Award at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, Sean “Diddy” Combs is receiving publicity for a far different reason. The longtime rapper and music producer saw his Miami and LA homes raided by federal agents in connection to sexual assault allegations and the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms.

While plans to further TriStar’s Godzilla franchise on the big screen fell through, the animated sequel turned out to be a great alternative. Godzilla: The Series debuted mere months after the 1998 film was released, and it went on to become a popular part of Fox Kids’ Saturday morning programming. And although this continuation had a limited lifespan of just two seasons, it still managed to do the impossible and redeem Roland Emmerich’s widely disliked adaptation.
Similar to Ultra Q, Godzilla: The Series saw Dr. Niko “Nick” Tatopoulos leading a specialized team — Humanitarian Environmental Analysis Team, or H.E.A.T. for short — in the struggle against the giant and disruptive creatures (often referred to as “mutants”) who have begun to appear all across the globe. Aiding them was the lone, surviving offspring of Godzilla teased at the end of the film. And to ensure the juvenile Godzilla stood...

Things for music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs went from bad to worse when federal agents raided his homes in Los Angeles and Miami. Diddy is currently facing a number of sexual assault and sex trafficking allegations, which he has denied.
On March 25, news broke that the Department of Homeland Security Investigations New York had “executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation.” Two of Diddy’s sons were handcuffed during the raid at their father’s residence in Los Angeles. That has led to questions about the Bad Boy founder‘s children and his baby mamas.

We've been waiting a long while for this!
Many diehard fans of this series have been wondering not only why Hank Voight has seemingly taken a backseat throughout the series as of late but also where the old-school Voight went.
Well, Chicago Pd Season 11 Episode 6 is gracing us with a Voight-centric hour, and we might get a peek of the Voight from yesteryear.
Could the no-nonsense, consequences-be-damned version of Voight be making a comeback?
It is possible for this installment.
Love or hate him, Hank Voight is essentially the glue that keeps the Intelligence Unit together and the central character of Chicago Pd.
At least, he's supposed to be. But he's spent much time getting sidelined, which would be all right if this ensemble cast felt cohesive.
Instead, the centrics with installments focusing on singular characters with maybe one or two others supporting them has primarily resulted in a team...

Chicago P.D. has a new episode coming out that will focus on Hank Voight.
Season 11 has returned to the format of having one member of Intelligence showcased in each episode.
The format has frustrated some Chicago P.D. fans because it means the team doesn’t get highlighted as much.
The Chicago P.D. Season 11 premiere focused on a story involving Detective Hailey Upton and her struggles to “unpack” the issues in her life.
Successive episodes have focused on Officer Adam Ruzek, Officer Kim Burgess, Officer Dante Torres, and Officer Kevin Atwater (in that order).
Now that his team has had the spotlight, the writers finally give Voight time to shine with the next new episode.

Despite the disappointing reviews of Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, one character gave a peak moment in the series for the fandom. Yvonne Chapman played Avatar Kyoshi, a past Avatar two reigns before Aang and the Last Earthbender, in the series. Kyoshi had a more prominent role than in the animated series, which only featured her in four episodes during its three-season run.

The One Chicago shows took off Valentine’s Day, but new content is coming.
Chicago P.D. Season 11 has debuted four new episodes this winter. Each of them is available for streaming on Peacock.
The show also returns from its brief hiatus with a new episode on February 21.
The countdown is also on until the final episode for Tracy Spiridakos. She plays Detective Haily Upton, but it was announced that she is leaving the show.
It’s tough for Chicago P.D. fans to lose Upton too soon after Detective Jay Halstead left Intelligence.
Casting changes opens the door for new faces, but the team has felt pretty incomplete this season. Maybe that is intentional?

Eric Idle was in salty form on X/Twitter over the weekend.
The Monty Python star had some dismissive words for John Cleese and Terry Gilliam, co-founders of the comedy troupe, and he even took a shot at Netflix.
Idle wrote of his surprise that Monty Python’s income had dried up, complaining that he has to keep working at the age of 80.
“I don’t know why people always assume we’re loaded,” he said. “Python is a disaster. Spamalot made money 20 years ago. I have to work for my living. Not easy at this age.”
He blamed the mismanagement of the Python brand on Gilliam and his daughter, Holly. The latter runs Hdg Projects, which manages Python and helped stage Monty Python Live (mostly) – One Down Five to Go, the group’s 2014 reunion shows in London.

“Monty Python” alum Eric Idle addressed an apparent fan misconception on Friday: that he and the rest of the legendary British comedy troupe’s members aren’t swimming in cash from their productions. As he put it, “I don’t know why people always assume we’re loaded. Python is a disaster. Spamalot made money 20 years ago. I have to work for my living. Not easy at this age.” Idle is 80 years old.

Luke Combs took a moment to reflect on his Grammys week, including his already-iconic performance of “Fast Car” with Tracy Chapman.
Combs and Chapman, who broke out in the late ’80s and doesn’t often make public appearances, broke the internet on music’s biggest night with a performance of her song that he covered and received a Grammy nomination for.
The country singer posted a carousel of images of his time in Los Angeles, which featured photos of him with Chapman, his wife, Ed Sheeran and even Taylor Swift. The lengthy caption noted he had so many laughs, tears, hugs and cheers throughout the week. He also shared that he was grateful to his whole team for working to make this happen and to his wife for always being by his side.

Tracy Chapman may keep a remarkably low profile, but she doesn’t live in a vacuum. The singer-songwriter was well aware of the success that Luke Combs’ cover of her song “Fast Car” was having last year. After it won two big awards at the Country Music Association Awards in November, she decided to call him.
It was a private conversation, just Chapman and Combs on the line for about 30 minutes, but it helped plant the seeds for one of the all-time best collaborative performances in Grammy history. On Feb.

Tracy Chapman has seen a meteoric rise in streams of her song “Fast Car” in the days following her appearance at the 2024 Grammy Awards.
According to Billboard, “Fast Car” has experienced a 241% increase in streams from and a 38,000% (!) increase in sales.
“Fast Car” initially experienced renewed interest last year when Luke Combs covered the song. The cover peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, surpassing the original song’s peak position at No. 6 in 1988. The cover’s success on the country music charts made Tracy Chapman the first Black woman to have the sole songwriting credit on a No.1 country hit.
At last weekend’s Grammys, Chapman made a rare public appearance to perform “Fast Car” with Combs. The performance went quickly viral, fueling even more interest in both Combs’ cover as well as Chapman’s original.

Last night, Chapman took the stage alongside Luke Combs — whose country rendition of “Fast Car” brought history-making success for the song’s original vocalist and songwriter over the past year — in jeans and a black shirt.

The 2024 Grammys will inspire a good deal of next-day debate among viewers. And that debate will be over: Which was the more moving comeback performance, Tracy Chapman’s or Joni Mitchell’s?
Life is good — and awards shows better than they have a right to be — when the hot post-telecast topic is which legend most tugged at our heartstrings with an unexpected return to the television spotlight. A huge reason why the 66th annual show will likely be considered the best Grammys in several years is the one-two punch of Mitchell and Chapman — the two artists the world was most eager to see come back from distressingly long sabbaticals. Exec producer Ben Winston’s success in landing both in one year provided a level of sentiment unlikely to be matched in any Grammys telecast soon, short of the producers convincing Bobbie Gentry she needs to un-retire and do the show,...

For the biggest night in music, the Grammy Awards consistently struggle to overcome their ordinariness. In previous years, the show seemed to be on a confused search for meaning. An identity crisis instigated by years of snubs and accelerated by the pandemic led comedian Trevor Noah to admit in 2022 that the event was “a concert where we give out awards.”
That sentiment still rings true two years later. With most of the categories abandoned to an energetic but sparsely attended preshow ceremony, the main telecast feels like a trying exhibition and a hotbed of contradictions. To watch the Grammys in 2024 is to witness an insistence on fun without much actual evidence of it.
Some of that has to do with the forces that have changed how people consume awards shows. Is it worth another subscription to tune in to a more-than-three-hour showcase, especially if you can catch the snipped and...

In The Beatles’ touring years, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr dealt with screaming fans, natural disasters, and political unrest. The band felt exhausted and worn out by 1966, when they agreed to stop touring. This exhaustion came through during one early show, though. Harrison and Lennon were so fed up that they tried to leave in the middle of their performance.

In 1963, The Beatles played a show at the Wimbledon Palais for their Southern Area Fan Club Convention. Beatlemania was not yet at its peak, but the band got a hint of how their future shows would go.

Tracy Chapman will make a rare public appearance at this Sunday’s Grammy Awards, where she will perform a duet of her 1988 classic “Fast Car” with Luke Combs, according to a new report in Variety.
Combs had already been announced as a performer for the 2024 Grammys, but Chapman’s appearance would be a welcome surprise. Per Variety, she has only performed on camera three times since 2009.
Last year, Combs released a cover of “Fast Car” which has landed him a Grammy nomination for Best Country Solo Performance. It surpassed the original’s peak position on the Billboard Hot 100 and eventually reached No. 2 on that chart.
As a result of its success, Chapman became the first Black woman to have the sole songwriting credit on a No. 1 country hit. She later called it an honor and expressed gratitude for the song reaching new fans.

Singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman, who has not performed in public in years, will return into the spotlight to perform a duet of ‘Fast Car’ with Luke Combs at the Grammys on Sunday night. Luke Combs, who had a massive hit with his cover version of ‘Fast Car’ last year, was already announced as a performer on the show, reports Variety.
Chapman’s appearance comes as a significant surprise, as she has only performed for the cameras three times since wrapping up her last tour in 2009, and the singer had thus far resisted the popular demand to take advantage of the resurgence of ‘Fast Car’ as an international phenomenon.
As per Variety, Luke’s version of ‘Fast Car’ was a multi-format crossover hit for the country superstar, topping Billboard’s Radio Songs chart for four weeks, making it to Number 1 on the adult pop and country formats for two weeks each, and...
