Miley Cyrus Calls Her Marriage to Liam Hemsworth a ‘F–king Disaster’
Miley Cyrus headlined Lollapalooza Brazil over the weekend and dropped some cold, hard truths about her marriage to Liam Hemsworth in the process. The unfiltered moment came when the pop star helped a fan propose to his boyfriend onstage during her set. After the Brazilian Smiler popped the question in Portuguese, Cyrus offered her own words of celebratory, jaded wisdom to the happy couple. “Yasss!” she shrieked when the fan’s boyfriend accepted the proposal. “Forever b—h, yasss!

Madonna Teases Upcoming Hypnotic ‘Frozen’ Remix With 070 Shake
Madonna is going back to the future, again, for her upcoming remix. After dropping a slowed-down, gauzy remix of her Ray of Light single by masked DJ Sickick in December — and then another hypnotic take on the 1998 fan-favorite earlier this month with Sick and Nigerian singer Fireboy DML — Madge is going back to the well one more time time this week with a third version of the lead single from the song she originally co-produced with Patrick Leonard and William Orbit.

FAIR Act Bill to Repeal Amendment to ‘Seven-Year Statute’ Up for Vote in California Assembly
Artists and labels are headed for a face off Wednesday (March 30) in Sacramento as the California State Assembly holds the first hearing and vote on repealing an amendment to the state’s “Seven-Year Statute” following February’s re-introduction of the Free Artists From Industry Restrictions (FAIR) Act. Held by the Assembly’s Committee on Labor and Employment, sources from both sides expect the vote to pass. If it does, the bill would then move to the Assembly’s Committee on Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism and Internet Media for an April 19 hearing and vote. Assembly Bill 2926 builds on California Labor Code Section 2855. Enacted in 1944 after the judgment in actress Olivia de Havilland’s lawsuit against Warner Bros. Pictures, 2855 limits personal services contracts for state residents...

Angel Olsen Tackles Death, Personal Rebirth on Big Time
Singer/songwriter Angel Olsen ruminates on such weighty topics as coming out as queer and the death of her parents on her new album, Big Time, which will be released June 3 by Jagjaguwar. The organ-flecked first single “All the Good Times” is out now and features Olsen and her partner in the Kimberly Stuckwisch-directed music video. [embedded content][embedded content] Olsen started recording Big Time within weeks of both of her parents passing away. She had also just come out to them, about which she admits, “some experiences just make you feel as though you’re five years old, no matter how wise or adult you think you are. Finally, at the ripe age of 34, I was free to be me.” The album was co-produced by Olsen with Jonathan Wilson at his Fivestar Studios in Topanga, Calif. Longtime bandma...
Drake Pulls Rare 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan Rookie Card Worth up to $700K USD
Drake has taken an interest in leaving his luck up to chance lately. Beyond his roulette games, Drake has hopped onto another hobby involving expensive boxes of basketball trading cards. As luck would have it, Drake managed to pull one of the rarest sports memorabilia in an Instagram Live last night with Goldin Auctions founder Ken Goldin. In one of the boxes, Drake found himself in possession of a 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan Rookie card. Back in February this year, Goldin Auctions sold two 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan Rookie cards for a record-setting $738,000 USD each. Both cards were virtually perfect and were given a grade of Gem Mint PSA 10. Due to the rise in popularity of sports cards and the ultra-rarity of the current ‘86 Fleer card pulled by Drake, this Michael Jordan memorabilia is e...

Marvel’s Moon Knight Review: An Odd, Perhaps Inessential, But Often Fun Ride
The Pitch: When Moon Knight viewers first meet Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac), he’s a simple man living a relatively simple life in London, working a menial job as a museum gift shop employee and struggling to connect with the people around him. While a bit of an odd duck, personality-wise, Steven has a good heart but a big secret: He keeps experiencing missing time, waking up in strange locations no matter how hard he tries to stay awake or chain himself up in his sleep. The cause for these lapses, as we soon learn, is that Steven shares his body with an entirely separate personality — that of a man known as Marc Spector, who’s caught up in some complicated business involving a golden scarab, a cult leader named Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke), and as we eventually come to discover, the modern-da...
Interpol and Spoon Announce Co-Headlining Tour
Indie rock veterans Interpol and Spoon are going on tour together this summer. The “Lights, Camera, Factions Tour” begins on August 25th in Asbury Park, New Jersey and wraps up with two shows at Portland’s Pioneer Square on September 17th and 18th. The Goon Sax are set to open every show, save for a stop in Toronto, where Metric will play instead. The three week run hits some pretty random places — Providence, Rhode Island and two dates in Ohio stick out — which is probably because both Interpol and Spoon have more extensive headlining tours of their own kicking off in April. Alas, it’s a great bill for those lucky enough to be in the bands’ path. Tickets go on sale Friday, April 1st via Ticketmaster.
