Chadwick Boseman Will Be A Hero For The Ages At MTV Movie & TV Awards: Greatest Of All Time
When Chadwick Boseman died in August, tributes poured in from all over the globe, a lot from people using the term “king” affectionately. Onscreen, Boseman had many jobs — iconic soul singer, a history-making Black Supreme Court justice, a history-making Black baseball player — but perhaps none defined him more than the role of actual royalty: King T’Challa, a.k.a. Black Panther, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He was a king. He was a hero. At the MTV Movie & TV Awards: Greatest of All Time on Sunday, December 6 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, Boseman will be posthumously recognized as such. He’ll receive the Hero for the Ages honor, presented by his Marvel co-stars Don Cheadle and Robert Downey Jr. The honor goes to a star “whose heroism onscreen was only surpassed by...
How ‘Promising Young Woman’ Delivers on the Promise of an All-Female Soundtrack
By August 2019, Jacobs was sending screeners to major labels; two months later, Capitol Records signed on to distribute the soundtrack, thanks to her longstanding relationship with Capitol Music Group’s evp of soundtracks and A&R, Anton Monsted. The film also resonated with Capitol’s vp of creative sync licensing, Jenny Swaitowy, who says she appreciated Fennell’s take on female revenge in the #MeToo era (the film chronicles a woman, played by Carey Mulligan, who tricks men into taking her home from bars and clubs only to teach them a lesson). With Capitol onboard, Swiatowy set up screenings for about 20 of the label’s artists, from newcomers to arena acts, all of whom were women. Working under a three-month deadline, about half the usual time, Swaitowy secured a lineup of rising Capit...

Harry Styles Helped Nick Kroll Pop The Question to His Wife in Style
The couple had just moved into a new house, and Kroll put a huge bouquet of flowers into a moving box with the ring in the center of the arrangement, which he asked Kwong to move for him. When she opened the box and saw the flowers, she was duly surprised, and before they could even snap a picture and call their folks, Styles texted him seeking an update. “‘Have you done it yet? What’s going on?'” Styles apparently asked. And when Kroll relayed that Kwong had said yes, Styles became the very first person to share their joy. “Harry Styles was the first person to know we were getting married… and he gave us his blessing and it meant the world.” Kroll said, adding that Styles also very sweetly sent along a huge bouquet of flowers for the wedding.

‘Shawn Mendes: In Wonder’: Film Review
Shawn Mendes, the 22-year-old Canadian folk-pop singer with the velour trill, is a bard of puppy love. Throughout his prolific oeuvre — three studio albums since 2015 — the male ingénue guilelessly croons about budding romance and sweeping passion and blossoming youth like a modern-day Romeo hopping from muse to muse. “I can’t write one song that’s not about you!” he serenades in “If I Can’t Have You,” his infectiously percussive 2019 single. “Can’t drink without thinkin’ about you! Is it too late to tell you that everything means nothing if I can’t have you?” His songs are as peppy and mellifluous as his persona is honeyed and nonthreatening. Wunderkind Mendes rose to prominence in the post-Bieber era of democratized ...
