Foo Fighters Raise a Toast to Movie Debut With ‘Coors Almighty Light’ Brew
Foo Fighters are toasting their first feature film with a limited-edition beer. The Foos’ comedy horror Studio 666 is set to open in theaters this Friday (Feb. 25), with a storyline that could’ve been shaped by boozy pub banter. In the film, the Rock And Roll Hall of Famers decamp for recording sessions in what turns out to be a haunted house. Bad move. Evil things are at play. Dave Grohl is possessed, and all hell breaks loose, threatening life, limb and the album project, Medicine at Midnight. To celebrate the cinematic release, Grohl’s favorite drop, Coors Light, introduces the Coors Almighty Light, a special brew made with Rocky Mountain water that, reps say, has been blessed by a spiritual guru.

Megan Thee Stallion Sues Label (Again) Over Definition of “Album”
Megan Thee Stallion (born Megan Pete) has sued her label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, for the third time. In this go-around, the rapper is alleging that the label refuses to allow her to fulfill the terms of her contract by declaring that her last full-length, Something for Thee Hotties, doesn’t qualify as an album. In the lawsuit filed on Friday (February 18th), Megan claims 1501 informed her two months after the release of Something for Thee Hotties that it didn’t meet the definition of an “Album” (per her recording agreement) and thus didn’t satisfy the contract’s “Minimum Recording Commitment.” “1501’s new position, taken months after the album’s release, is clearly a ruse in an effort to try to take further advantage of Pete, at great expense and not in good faith,” Megan’s attorney...

“Fake Ass”: Tom Holland Says One Spider-Man Had Costume Implants in His Spi-Derrière
Three Spider-Men got a bite from a spider, but only one got a butt from the costume department. As Spider-Man: No Way Home star Tom Holland revealed in his recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, one of the Spider-suits came with a “fake ass.” “I’ll give you a spoiler,” he said to the late-night host. “I’m not gonna tell you who, but one of us has a fake ass in their suit.” He also talked about the moment he noticed it, thinking, “‘Wo-o-w! Oh, hang on a minute. That’s not real!’” When it comes to who padded their Spi-derrière, there’s no way to know for certain. But that won’t stop us from spinning a web of speculation! At a fit 46 years old, Tobey Maguire is fairly well developed in that department, and may even be at the point in his life where he’s more focused ...
