Sheila E. (photo via Wikipedia) and Prince (photo via Warner Bros.) Sheila E. has announced that she’s making a biopic about her relationship with Prince. In a very brief Facebook post, The Queen of Percussion shared the name of the film and insinuated that it will arrive in the not-too-distant future. “Coming soon…Sheila E. to release ‘Girl Meets Boy’, a film telling the beautiful story of her time with Prince. Stay Tuned.” The “Glamorous Life” singer first met the Purple One at a concert in the late ’70s, and years later she ended up contributing vocals during the Purple Rain recording sessions. After receiving a couple Grammy nominations for her own 1984 song “The Glamorous Life”, Sheila E. and her band opened for Prince’s Purple Rain Tour. It was during this ti...
The First ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ Trailer Teases A Worldstar Fight of Epic Proportions
Source: Warner Bros / Legendary Entertainment The trailer for Godzilla vs. Kong has finally arrived, and the fades look like they will be on a massive scale. To quote the late Dr. Serizawa (Ken Watanabe), who valiantly sacrificed his life in Godzilla: King of The Monsters, “let them fight.” After being delayed for nearly a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Godzilla vs. Kong is upon us, and it looks like it will deliver the epic showdown that Legendary Entertainment has been foreshadowing since it started its “Monsterverse.” The film will primarily feature literally two of the biggest stars in Hollywood duking it out. It will premiere simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max as part of the deal that saw blockbusters like Wonder Woman 84, Mortal Kombat, and Godzilla vs. Kong lan...

While nothing compares to summertime in Black Rock City, the definitive status of Burning Man 2021 has yet to materialize, despite a successful November fundraising campaign that crowdsourced over $5 million to keep the dream alive. A January 21st update from Dominique Debucquoy-Dodley, Burning Man Project’s Associate Director of Communications, revealed that due to the uncertainty of the impact of COVID-19 in the future, “it’s impossible to say right now if Black Rock City can happen in 2021.” “Public health and safety is our top priority,” Debucquoy-Dodley continued. “We will only inhabit Black Rock City with the appropriate safety protocols and permits in place.” He also promised that more conclusive information will be announced ...

KISS’s PAUL STANLEY: ‘To Me, Life Is A Miracle On Its Worst Day’
KISS frontman Paul Stanley was a recent guest on “Dennis Miller +1”, an interview show hosted by American actor, comedian, talk show host and five-time Emmy award winner Dennis Miller. You can now listen to the chat below. Speaking about rock stars who make self-destructive behavior a part of their brand, Stanley said (hear audio below): “Unfortunately, I think that the press, the media, critics are responsible for some of that, because somehow not caring about business, not caring about your health, living this rock and roll caricature is what credibility is based on for some. And it’s unfortunate, because it kills the rock star, but the critic continues. So it just never made sense to me. I wanna enjoy the hard work, I wanna enjoy the fruits of the labor, so to sp...

Billie Eilish & Rosalía’s Spanish-Language Collab Tops Favorite New Music Poll
After hinting that a collaboration was in the works in spring 2019, Eilish and Rosalía dropped the dreamlike track in which the two music stars showcase their vocal chemistry by trading off slow-tempo verses filled with hazy melodies and melancholic lyrics. “I remember when we were writing the song, I remember her saying something about, ‘It should be in English.’ And I was like, ‘No, no, no. It should be in Spanish. It’s so beautiful.’ And I’ve always loved music that isn’t in English,” Eilish recently told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. The music video for “Lo Vas a Olvidar,” filmed by award-winning director Nabil, shows Eilish and Rosalía’s powerful performances in a somber setting. Placing second on the past w...
