Peacock Apologizes for ‘Saved by the Bell’ Reboot Joke About Selena Gomez’s Kidney Transplant
In the sixth episode of the reboot, which premiered earlier this week, the students of Bayside High have their phones taken away and don’t know what to do without having access to the internet. In one scene, two students argue over who donated a kidney to the singer in 2017 after she had been diagnosed with lupus years earlier, as they do not have immediate access to web resources to confirm their questions. In 2017, Gomez shared she had a kidney transplant over the summer due to her battle with lupus, an autoimmune disease that she was diagnosed with five years prior. The singer shared photos of her donor, close friend Francia Raisa, on social media and opened up about the secret surgery in an exclusive interview on Today. The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Selena Gomez’...

I’m stoked to perform and give the fans somethi...
Camila Cabello on Being in Love With Shawn Mendes: ‘It’s Not Just Happy Blissful Moments’
“It’s so instinctive for us to love,” wrote Cabello, “even if our minds try to protect us from it sometimes, but our nature as humans is to love. And to be in love means to choose that person over and over again, to go through the messy stuff with. And that’s way more beautiful and raw and real than perfection.” The singer went on to explain why she’s willing to speak so openly to her fans. “I’m all for being vulnerable on social media because I think only the neatness and perfection of life is shown on here; and that can make us all feel extra lonely and weird! So raise your glass to the messiness and weirdness of being human and the miracle. And the easiness. And the instinct. And the relentless force that is love.” Mendes recently spoke of Cabel...
The Most Influential Artists: #8 R.E.M.
As part of our 35th anniversary, we’re naming the most influential artists of the past 35 years. Today, we’re at #8. From Athens, Georgia, here is R.E.M. CREDIT: Paul Natkin/Getty Images It started not with an earthquake, but a conversation. Michael Stipe and Peter Buck first met in 1980, at a record shop just off campus at the University of Georgia. They bonded over mutual favorite art- and punk-rock bands, and they soon started writing music together. A few months later, joined by fellow student-musicians Mike Mills and Bill Berry, they played their first show at a friend’s birthday party. Most anonymous college groups never get much further — let alone shoulder a movement that would reroute rock history. Throughout the ‘80s, R.E.M. were unwitting architects of alternative rock’s f...

Carrie Brownstein is Making a Heart Biopic
Washington state rockers unite. Carrie Brownstein of the Olympia legends Sleater-Kinney is writing and directing a biopic about the iconic Seattle band, Heart. During a recent interview with SiriusXM’s Lyndsey Parker, Heart frontwoman Ann Wilson revealed that Brownstein — who’s also known for her starring role in the TV series Portlandia — will be telling her band’s story for Amazon alongside producer Lynda Obst (Interstellar, Sleepless In Seattle). “I can’t tell you all about it, because it’s still being written right now,” Wilson said in a clip that was posted to Parker’s Instagram. “I saw the first draft of [Brownstein’s] script, and it’s really cool.” According to Wilson, a few actresses have been considered to play her and her sister Nancy, who sing and perform a few instruments ...
Cher Is Escorting “The World’s Loneliest Elephant” to a Cambodian Sanctuary
Cher is moving heaven and Earth to save a sad animal. According to The Los Angeles Times, the pop icon is currently in Pakistan preparing to escort “the world’s loneliest elephant” to a sanctuary in Cambodia. The elephant, named Kaavan, was a gift from the government of Sri Lanka to the head of the Pakistani army 35 years ago. After his partner Saheli died in 2012, Kaavan became increasingly lonely and depressed. He’s spent over a dozen years in chains at the Marghazar Zoo in Islamabad, where he is overweight and malnourished, suffers from abysmal conditions, and is sometimes beaten. Experts believe it may take years of psychological care for Kaavan to fully recover. Animal rights activists have been trying to get Kaavan out of the zoo for years. Apparently it was Cher, who after lear...

TOM GABRIEL FISCHER Says CELTIC FROST’s ‘Cold Lake’ Was ‘A Monumental Failure’ And ‘An Artistic Embarrassment’
In a new interview with Italy’s Poisoned Rock, CELTIC FROST mainman Tom Gabriel Fischer (a.k.a. Tom Warrior) reflected on the band’s much-maligned 1988 album “Cold Lake”, an effort he entirely regrets making because of its glam-rock tendencies. “‘Cold Lake’ is just a complete failure,” he said (see video below). “When we formed CELTIC FROST, we wanted to be very experimental, we wanted to be very courageous, we didn’t wanna be afraid of taking a chance. On the other hand, that doesn’t guarantee to you that you always do something good. And I think ‘Cold Lake’ is a monumental failure. We tried a different thing, we tried to do something melodic, but I think in the context of the late 1980s, bands really lost their...
DAVID ELLEFSON: New MEGADETH Music Will Arrive In 2021
MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson spoke to Decibel Geek about the progress of the recording sessions for the band’s follow-up to 2016’s “Dystopia” album. He said (see video below): “Basic tracks are done. Overdubs now are continuing. I’m sure 2021 will see some new MEGADETH music of some form — hopefully the whole album, because touring will open up and we can drop a record and the tour dates that we have rescheduled will all go forward as planned. That’s what we’re hoping. That’s about all I can say on it — just ’cause it’s not done yet, so it’s hard to talk about something that’s still in motion.” Last month, MEGADETH leader Dave Mustaine told “The Five Count” radio show that the band’s ne...
