Daisy Edgar-Jones has landed the plum role of Carole King in Sony’s upcoming film adaptation of the stage musical “Beautiful,” a package as high-profile as it is pedigreed.
“Daisy has a spirit and energy that I recognized as myself when I was younger. She’s a tremendous talent and I know she’s going to give a great performance,” King told Variety.
Jones is familiar to Sony, having starred in the studio’s box office winner “Where The Crawdads Sing.” She will be directed in “Beautiful” by Academy Award nominee Lisa Cholodenko (“The Kids Are All Right”).
Cholodenko and Stuart Blumberg, who co-wrote “Kids Are All Right” together, recently completed their own pass on the “Beautiful” script, which is currently in development. Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman of Playtone will produce the film with Paul Blake, who also produced the stage show. Sherry Kondor, Christine Russell, Steven Shareshian, and...

Chicago – Carole King, from modest roots and beginnings, went on to become the most successful female songwriter of the last forty years of the 20th Century. So this “natural woman” was perfect for a musical overview of her life and great songs, in “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.”
Play Rating: 4.0/5.0
The structure and songs are the highlight of King’s life story, starting in the late 1950s on Tin Pan Alley (the songwriting strip of Broadway in New York City) to a triumphant Carnegie Hall Concert as a 1970s solo act. Along the way there are the social changes of the 1960s and a legendary songwriting partnership, in addition to the sorrow of the breakup and the evolution of starting over. It is the American Dream and the American songbook rolled into one breezy evening, and the truth of Carole King within the musical is evident from beginning to end.

Gerry Goffin, a prolific and multi-dimensional lyricist who with his then-wife and songwriting partner Carole King wrote such hits as "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," ''(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," ''Up on the Roof" and "The Loco-Motion," died early Thursday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 75. His wife, Michelle Goffin, confirmed his death. Goffin, who married King in 1959, penned more than 50 top 40 hits, including "Pleasant Valley Sunday" for the Monkees, "Some Kind of Wonderful" for the Drifters and "Take Good Care of My Baby" by Bobby Vee. Goffin was able to pen jokey lyrics or achingly sad ones,...

The Broadway musical Beautiful, based on Carole King’s life and music, was just nominated for eight Tony Awards, including a best actress nod for the show's star, Jessie Mueller. Which isn't surprising - like Jersey Boys, this jukebox musical features popular hit tunes from the '60s and '70s that were written by King, who's either written or co-written 118 songs that have made the Billboard Hot 100 since 1960. In fact, during the 1960s, when King was in her early 20s, she was already experiencing massive success writing hits for African-American singing sensations like the Drifters and the Shirelles. Later,...

Mickey Rooney dead at 93: Four-time Oscar nominee, frequent Judy Garland co-star may have had the longest film career ever (photo: Mickey Rooney ca. 1940) Mickey Rooney, four-time Academy Award nominee and one of the biggest domestic box-office draws during the studio era, died of "natural causes" on Sunday, April 6, 2014, at his home in the Los Angeles suburb of North Hollywood. The Brooklyn-born Rooney (as Joseph Yule Jr., on September 23, 1920) had reportedly been in ill health for some time. He was 93. Besides his countless movies, and numerous television and stage appearances, Mickey Rooney was also known for his stormy private life, which featured boozing and gambling, some widely publicized family infighting (including his testifying in Congress in 2011 about elder abuse), his filing for bankruptcy in 1962 after having earned a reported $12 million (and then going bankrupt again in 1996), his eight marriages — including those to actresses Ava Gardner, Martha Vickers, and Barbara Ann Thomason...

Kylie Minogue was today confirmed as a coach on The Voice UK, but how did she get here?
Below, Digital Spy rounds up the career-defining moments from Ms Minogue's 30 years in the industry.
Scott and Charlene
After some bit-parts as a pre-teen, Minogue was cast as a lead in The Henderson Kids in 1985, but her real breakthrough came a year later when she was cast as the schoolgirl-turned-car-mechanic in Neighbours. He character had a romance with Jason Donovan's Scott Robinson. She won multiple Logies for the role, and was the youngest ever winner of the 'Gold Logie'.
Everybody's doing the brand new dance now...
Kylie had been singing since she was a child, but Kylie's cover of Little Eva's '60s smash 'The Loco-motion' made her a bona fide popstar, scaling the charts all around the world. It featured on her debut album Kylie, which was swiftly followed by rush-recorded Stock,...

Singer-songwriter Carole King -- who coincidentally co-wrote the closing song "He Hit Me (It Felt Like a Kiss)" featured on Sunday's (April 8) "Mad Men" -- spoke to NPR's "Morning Edition" on Tuesday about her new book, "A Natural Woman: A Memoir."
The book recounts how she became a chart-topping songwriter, penning hits for everyone from Little Eva to Aretha Franklin, and then became a successful musician in her own right. Her album "Tapestry" spent 15 weeks at the top of the charts and was one of the biggest selling albums of all time.
On NPR, King talked about writing her first hit, the Shirelles' "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" when she was just 17. She also recounts how James Taylor pushed her to become a recording artist in her own right.
"I was just with him on his little college tour the first year he went out," she says. "And James one night just said,...

Mad Men "Mystery Date" -- An Expert Opinion
"Megan, meet my previous life. Previous life..."
“The evil that men do lives after them,” Act Three, Scene Two, Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare.
“There’s my Don Draper. I like him when he’s a cad.” My wife, Sunday April 9th, 2012.
As has become standard operating procedure for Mad Men, the third episode of the season marks a dramatic turn for the characters and a sign that the creative team behind the show has hit their stride.
In Season One, “Marriage of Figaro” opened with Don sniffing at the Volkswagen Lemon ad and then pinwheeling after an old war buddy called him Dick Whitman. In Season Two, Don fell off the monogamy wagon in “The Benefactor”. Season Three saw Don swap stories and Old Fashioneds with an intriguing older man who turns out to be Conrad Hilton of the Hilton family...

Sunday's "Mad Men" referenced another real life event, and this one was quite grim.
Spoiler Alert: This article reveals minor plot details from "Mad Men" Season 5 Episode 4. If you don't wish to know what happened in the episode, please stop reading now.
The episode started with Peggy, Megan and a few other characters gawking at photos from a murder scene. The killings in question were committed in 1966 by Richard Speck, and they cast a somber shadow over the entire episode.
Speck entered a building in Chicago and systematically raped a young nursing student, killed her and seven others. There was a ninth woman in the townhouse, but she escaped by hiding under a bed. A character says on the show that Speck lost count, but other reports say that Speck did not know that there was a guest staying at the house. The guest was killed, but Corazon Amurao was spared.

I will hand it to The Playboy Club. For the majority of this episode, I really did think Bruno Bianchi's murder was the subject of this week's complication. Alas, it was A Matter of Simple Duplicity and, somehow, this less-than-stellar show pulled the wool over my eyes. Or did it?
We know at least two Bunnies have fallen to the dark side, but they left it open as to who Nick really protected in the end, as his interest really lies in defending the Club.
New Bunny auditions
Things don't always go as planned in Bunnyland. Carol-Lynne unwittingly hired an undercover reporter as the newest Bunny, but her tenure was thankfully short-lived and there was little damage in her wake. Narrowly escaping the big expose, we discovered murdering Bunnies are all the rage in Chicago and that Janie's secrets run much deeper than she let Max know.
Oh what...
