The Trailer for Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans Reels Out Legendary Director’s Rise: Watch
The first trailer for Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical feature film, The Fabelmans, has arrived and it looks to be quite the coming-of-age spectacle. Watch the preview below. Gabriel LaBelle stars as Spielberg’s teenage stand-in Sammy Fabelman, an aspiring filmmaker in post-World War II Arizona with a supportive, artistically-minded mother, strikingly inhabited by Michelle Williams, and a successful scientist father, played by Paul Dano. Over about a decade, the movie tracks Sammy as his budding hobby develops into a full-blown obsession that is simultaneously praised and judged by his parents, community, and family friend/”funcle” Bennie (Seth Rogen). The cast also features Judd Hirsch as Sammy’s biological Uncle Boris, Jeannie Berlin, Robin Bartlett, Julia Butters, Keeley Karsten...
The Santa Clauses Trailer Finds Tim Allen’s Potential Replacement in Peyton Manning?: Watch
Tim Allen may have been unceremoniously replaced in the new Buzz Lightyear movie, but he’s bowing out gracefully in The Santa Clauses, the Disney+ sequel series to his long-running Christmas comedy franchise. Watch the first trailer below. The preview opens with a solemn announcement from Allen’s jolly, ol’ Kris Kringle: “For the good of Christmas, for the good of my family, I, Santa Claus have decided to retire.” The news doesn’t exactly land with a warm reception from the elves in Santa’s workshop, who devolve into despair and lead their big boss man Mr. Claus to ask, “we have a grief counselor, right?” It won’t be a complete Blue Christmas though as Santa sets off to find his successor. Unlike the 1994 film’s fine-print fiasco that initially caused the unsuspecting Christmas curmudgeon ...
“There’s Still Not Enough”: The Serpent Queen Star Samantha Morton on Powerful Roles for Women
The new Starz series The Serpent Queen brings modern flair and an extremely unreliable narrator to the well-worn genre of period dramas, as an older Catherine de’ Medici (Samantha Morton) tells a servant girl (Sennia Nanua) about how her younger self (Liv Hill) came to control France for decades. In Morton’s hands, Catherine is a fascinating and complex character, and when speaking with the Oscar-nominated actress via Zoom, I really wanted to ask her about playing powerful women, a recent theme in her work. But I also admitted to her that I felt a little silly about it, as film and television currently feature a ton of examples of powerful, strong, and nuanced female characters. Morton, it turns out, agrees with that, but also says “there’s still not enough. I think in television, they’re ...
Feid Takes Medellin by Storm With Three Sellout Concerts at Hometown Stadium
Feid had never headlined Plaza de Toros La Macarena — Medellin, Colombia’s fabled bullfighting ring, also used as a concert venue — before Friday (Sept. 9), which makes the artist’s decision to play his hometown venue for three consecutive nights all the more ambitious. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news It’s a feat no other act has ever pulled off. J Balvin and Nicky Jam are the only artists to even headline La Macarena on back-to-back nights. But some might say Feid, a reggaeton singer-songerwriter who has been on the rise for years, wasn’t ambitious enough in this case. Feid’s show Friday in front of a crowd of around 9,000 sold out in less than two hours. Medellin newspaper El Colombiano reported that his other two shows sold out in tw...
Sunny Day Real Estate Plays First Show in 12 Years at Spokane Club
Sunny Day Real Estate warmed up for its highly anticipated reunion tour last night (Sept. 10) with a short-notice show at the 250-capacity Big Dipper in Spokane, Wash. It was the band’s first performance since May 2010 and introduced new bassist Chris Jordan from the Seattle band Spirit Award as well as touring guitarist Greg Suran, who will share duties with Jason Narducy throughout the fall run. “Hello, everyone. We are Sunny Day Real Estate,” frontman Jeremy Enigk said matter-of-factly before the group launched into “Seven,” the first song from its legendary 1994 debut album Diary. “Is this for real?” a woman in the audience yelled. “I think so,” Enigk replied. “I might be dreaming.” The set list featured a number of songs not performed during the group’s return to activity in 2009 and ...

When the World Stopped: How Umphrey’s McGee’s Played in New York City Days After 9/11
For over 24 years, Umphrey’s McGee have pushed the limits onstage — playing an improvisational progressive rock style that effortlessly merges genres, moods, meters, and tempos. They’re veterans now, but back in September 2001, they’d just graduated from the University of Notre Dame and everything was still fresh. Umphrey’s had built a strong following outside of their midwest base and, independently, expanded their reach with a unique live approach. In fall 2001, having made major headway on the touring circuit, they set out on their second big East coast tour of that year. It was a pivotal month for the band — during a time of national tragedy, they staged what could be their most meaningful show. Before heading out on the road, Umphrey’s McGee had built the trek around a September 10th ...
John Michael Montgomery Recovering After ‘Serious’ Tour Bus Accident
Country singer John Michael Montgomery was involved in a “serious accident” on his way to a concert in North Carolina on Friday (Sept. 9). “Yesterday we had a serious accident on the way to a concert in North Carolina.

Pearl Jam Go Heavy on Gigaton at Apollo Theater Show
Pearl Jam were supposed to play Harlem’s legendary Apollo Theater in March 2020, but COVID had other plans. It took until last night (Sept. 10) for the band to make up the gig, which was broadcast live on the band’s SiriusXM channel Pearl Jam Radio. It was open only to contest winners. As has been the case on the first four shows on this leg of the band’s current tour, the show started with band members seated and playing more down-tempo material. “Footsteps” as opened and was followed by the infrequently performed “Pendulum,” “Sleight of Hand” and “Parachutes.” Something wasn’t working quite right with the PA, however, and the band stopped while the system was reset. Vedder killed time with a solo rendition of Warren Zevon’s “Keep Me in Your Heart,” and within a few minutes, the other mem...
Tommy Lee Launches OnlyFans: “Cum Join Me Over There for Fun”
Tommy Lee really wants to keep showing his junk to the world, and doesn’t want anything getting in his way. At the final show of Mötley Crüe’s “Stadium Tour” at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Friday night (September 9th), the drummer revealed that he has joined OnlyFans — and he did so by mooning the audience. Last month, Lee posted a full frontal nude selfie on all his social sites. The “dick pic” was removed from Instagram and Facebook, but still remains on Twitter. The drummer later explained he was on a “bender” when he shared the photo online, but apparently he has no regrets about it. In fact he kept mentioning it at just about every Motley Crue show since, even telling a crowd at a Los Angeles show, “Let me show you my fuckin’ wiener” before jokingly pulling a real-life dachshund...
