Billie Joe Armstrong Says He’s ‘Uncomfortable’ With Aspects of Fame, Social Media
Billie Joe Armstrong has had enough of non-fans asking for photos. In a new interview with Kerrang!, the Green Day star opened up about fame, mental health, and his opinions on social media. “Sometimes it’s great,” the rock legend said of fame. “When I’m able to communicate with fans and people are cool, and when people get something out of the music and you make these connections. But I think the thing that makes it uncomfortable is how fucked-up social media has become, and how everyone’s got a camera in their pocket now. There are a lot of people out there who aren’t fans who just wanna be guilty by association or something. They wanna hold you in their pocket as a souvenir. And I think that sometimes that’s the part that gets annoying.” The Kerrang! Cover StoryBillie ...
Zoe Saldana Apologizes For Playing Nina Simone in Biopic
In a new interview, Zoe Saldana says she’s “sorry” for playing Nina Simone in the 2016 biopic, Nina. The actress opened up about the experience during a Bese interview with Steven Canals, co-creator of FX’s Pose, saying, “Nina had a life and a journey that should be honored to the specific detail.” Saldana’s comment comes years after she was criticized for playing the legendary singer, ultimately wearing dark makeup, a prosthetic nose, and false teeth for the film. “I should have done everything in my power with the leverage that I had 10 years ago — which was a different leverage, but it was leverage nonetheless — I should have tried everything in my power to cast a Black woman to play an exceptionally perfect Black woman,” Saldana tol...
Hear PUP’s Cover of Grandaddy’s ‘A.M. 180′
On the heels of releasing their live record, Live at the Electric Ballroom, PUP have released a cover of one of their favorite songs — Grandaddy’s “A.M. 180,” off Grandaddy’s 1997 debut LP, Under the Western Freeway. “Grandaddy are one of the unsung hero bands of indie rock,” drummer Zack Mykula said in a statement. “A best-kept secret.
