Mariah Carey Talks ‘The Meaning Of’ Biopic ‘We’re Talking About Some Things’
“We’re talking about some things. I really feel like it should (happen),” she said. “That was always my goal but it was important to write the book first.” And who could play Mariah in the film? “I don’t know, we’re figuring out different takes on that.” So, that all sounds promising. Another promising sign is the performance of “All I Want For Christmas Is You” in the singles chart race in the U.K., where it’s on track to hit No. 1 for the very first time. What a perfect gift for the Queen of Christmas. Also in her chat with Fallon, Carey discussed her fave Christmas songs. “I love all the classics,” she enthused, name-checking Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole and more. Watch below.

Miley Cyrus Performs ‘Prisoner,’ Surprises Superfan on ‘Kimmel’: Watch
Her mullet, we learned, was a homemade job. It was cut by Miley’s mom, the same hairdresser to Billy Ray. Miley also scored an early Christmas present, a diamond record for her 2009 hit “Party In The U.S.A.” She won’t receive a more challenging gift to unwrap this year. Also, the “Wrecking Ball” singer was virtually linked-up with a thrilled fan, Paul. “I hope you haven’t lived your life by doing everything that I do.

Jose Feliciano Delivers 50th Anniversary Performance of ‘Feliz Navidad’ on ‘Fallon’: Watch
Recorded in 1970 by Puerto Rican singer and songwriter José Feliciano, “Feliz Navidad” is a marvel in many ways. “It just came to me; there’s no rhyme or reason,” he recently told Billboard. “The first lyric came to me, then I put the English lyric into it, not realizing I had made it the only bilingual Christmas song ever in the world. I created a monster.” Feliciano stopped by The Tonight Show on Monday (Dec. 7) to perform his enduring hit. Watch below. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Hear GEORGE LYNCH And JEFF PILSON’s Cover Of DURAN DURAN’s ‘Ordinary World’
Guitar-shredding virtuoso George Lynch has reteamed with former DOKKEN bandmate Jeff Pilson for a set of new studio recordings that turn pop music classics into powerful metal anthems. The two have previously made metal magic together as a duo on the 2003 album “Wicked Underground”, which was recently reissued on vinyl, as well as with other projects such as T&N and THE END MACHINE. But this new batch of recordings, titled appropriately enough “Heavy Hitters”, stands apart not only for its outstanding roster of players and vocalists, including BULLETBOYS‘ Marq Torien, FISHBONE‘s Angelo Moore, New Zealand native Wil Martin and drummer Brian Tichy (WHITESNAKE, OZZY OSBOURNE) but for the jaw-dropping song selection. If you’ve ever wondered what an...
Watch IRON MAIDEN’s ADRIAN SMITH Play ‘Gangland’ For First Time In ‘Donkeys’ Years’
IRON MAIDEN has uploaded a video of guitarist Adrian Smith playing the song “Gangland” for the first time in many years. The track is taken from MAIDEN‘s 1982 album “The Number Of The Beast”, which was the band’s first LP to feature vocalist Bruce Dickinson and the songwriting contributions of Smith, who had joined the group two years earlier. In the clip, Smith introduces his “Gangland” playthrough by saying: “Back in the early with MAIDEN, there was a song called ‘Gangland’, which is on ‘The Number Of The Beast’ album. We were rehearsing at a place called Hollywood Studios near where I grew up, actually — for ‘The Number Of The Beast’ album, we were writing songs there. Clive and I got to rehearsal ...
JOHN DOLMAYAN Says He Never Wanted SYSTEM OF A DOWN To Take A Hiatus: ‘It Was A Disastrous Move For Us’
John Dolmayan says that he never wanted SYSTEM OF A DOWN to stop making new music and touring. The Serj Tankian-fronted outfit has toured intermittently since ending its hiatus in 2011, but has yet to record a full-length follow-up to its “Mezmerize” and “Hypnotize” LPs, which came out in 2005. Dolmayan, who also owns a high-end comic shop called Torpedo Comics in Las Vegas, discussed SYSTEM‘s inability to make a new album during an interview with Richard Allan, host of “Action Figures” on Amazon Prime. “I never wanted SYSTEM to take a hiatus,” he said (see video below). “I think it was a disastrous move for us, because we never reached our peak. I still feel like we have a lot of music in us. And as big as the band is — we’...
DEEP PURPLE’s ROGER GLOVER Has ‘Made Great Progress’ On His Autobiography
DEEP PURPLE bassist Roger Glover has confirmed that he is still planning on releasing his autobiography. “I’ve been toying with writing a book for several years, but not really doing much about it,” he said in a new fan interview which was posted on the YouTube channel of the band’s record company, earMUSIC (see video below). “But since this pandemic situation and being stuck at home, I’ve actually started with a great deal of energy and I’ve made great progress. The only problem is, as much progress as I make, I realize how much there is yet to come that’s very important. I’ve got to about the point now where I’m joining PURPLE. And a lot of that was easy, because I kept diaries in the ’60s. So a lot of notes and gig lists ...
Rico Nasty Expands Her Repertoire on Debut Nightmare Vacation: Review
The Lowdown: Rico Nasty has always been a powerhouse, existing on the edge of Soundcloud rap in the mid-2010s while still finishing high school. Her infectious, aggressive-yet-bubbly style made waves on the Internet early on, attracting the attention of Lil Yachty in 2016 to remix her song “Hey Arnold” and being featured in the hit HBO series insecure in 2017. Combining her eclectic fashion sense with spitfire raps that effortlessly bounce between sex and violence makes her one of the biggest pieces in the growing mosaic of this new era of female rappers. Her long-awaited debut album, Nightmare Vacation, takes a fine-tooth comb through the style that has made her one of the most influential rappers of the past few years. With seven mixtapes under her belt, Rico sounds like a seasoned veter...

Party Time! Wayne’s World Cast Reunites Alongside Alice Cooper, Queen, and Aerosmith: Watch
We’re not worthy: The latest episode of Josh Gad’s quarantine charity series Reunited Apart brought together the cast of Wayne’s World alongside legendary rockers Alice Cooper, Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen, and Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith. Schwing! The 1992 film was based on a popular SNL sketch, which itself had roots in the “Wayne’s Power Hour” segments on the 1987 Canadian series It’s Only Rock & Roll. Like other editions of Reunited Apart, this one began with a tortured comedy bit where Gad pretended that the whole thing hadn’t been meticulously planned. Here, he dials up Joe Perry and Steven Tyler, but only to ask for the phone numbers of Mike Myers and Dana Carvey, who played Wayne and Garth. “You brought us — two wo...
Christopher Nolan Blasts HBO Max As “Worst Streaming Service” in Light of “Arrogant” Warner Bros. Deal
Last week, Warner Bros. announced plans to simultaneously release all 17 of their 2021 titles (The Matrix 4, Dune, The Suicide Squad etc.) directly to HBO Max and to theaters. The news sent shockwaves throughout the film industry due to the drastic consequences it will have not just on the existence of movie theaters, but on the entire Hollywood apparatus. Naturally, Christopher Nolan had some opinions on the matter. On Monday, the Tenet writer-director told The Hollywood Reporter that Warner Bros.’ decision to unload their entire release schedule onto the new streaming service — which is owned by their parent company WarnerMedia and had a middling launch earlier this year— will be disastrous. “Some of our industry’s biggest filmmakers and most important ...
