Lizzo Shares New Song “Grrrls”: Listen
Lizzo has shared another new song from Special, her forthcoming album. The single—titled “Grrrls”—is produced by Benny Blanco, Blake Slatkin, Ilya, Max Martin, and Pop Wansel. Listen to “Grrrls” below. Special is out July 15 (via Nice Life/Atlantic). Lizzo tours North America beginning in late September, with Latto taking the opening slot. She is also the subject of a new HBO documentary. The first Special single, “About Damn Time,” arrived with the album announcement, before Lizzo premiered the album’s title track on Saturday Night Live the same week. The new tracks follow Lizzo’s 2021 Cardi B collaboration “Rumors,” which arrived with a gilded, Ancient Greece–inspired video. That one had been Lizzo’s first piece of new music in two years, arriving after Lizzo’s string of Cuz I Love You t...
Ozzy Osbourne to Undergo Surgery That Will “Determine the Rest of His Life”
Ozzy Osbourne is set to undergo an operation on Monday (June 13th) that will “determine the rest of his life,” reports his wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne. Sharon revealed the news on her UK show The Talk (not affiliated with the US show of the same name from which she was ousted last year), telling her fellow panelists, “[Ozzy] has a very major operation on Monday, and I have to be there. It’s really going to determine the rest of his life.” She added that she would be flying back to Los Angeles to be by Ozzy’s side. While Sharon did not go into specifics, Ozzy himself mentioned late last year that he needed one more operation on his neck after the previous surgeon “f**ked up.” The metal icon injured himself in a 2019 fall at home, dislodging metal rods that were inserted into his body ...

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and Jaws Getting First-Ever IMAX Screenings
A friendly little alien and a massive shark are headed to IMAX for the very first time. That’s right, Stephen Spielberg’s classics E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and Jaws will be hitting IMAX screens in theaters nationwide this summer. After E.T. rings in its 40th anniversary starting August 12th, Jaws will swim onto the big, big screen a few weeks later beginning September 2nd. The latter will also be available in RealD 3D. “No filmmaker, it’s fair to say, has had a greater or more enduring impact on American cinema or has created more indelible cinematic memories for tens of billions of people worldwide,” said Jim Orr, Universal Pictures’ president of domestic theatrical distribution, said in a statement to Deadline. “We couldn’t think of a more perfect way to celebrate the anniversary of E....
Dirty Daddy: The Bob Saget Tribute Is a Messy But Loving Remembrance — Review
Bob Saget pulled off a remarkable trick over his long and busy career in comedy: He spent the late ’80s and much of the ’90s as one of America’s favorite professional genial dorks, playing a square dad on the cornball and often unbearably saccharine ABC sitcom Full House and ringmaster to America’s less professionally genial dorks — those suffering home-recorded mishaps on the same network’s America’s Funniest Home Videos. After those gigs ended, though, he directed one very funny and decidedly less clean comedy, Dirty Work, and word about his non-ABC comedy career spread: That Bob Saget fellow really works pretty blue! This was probably always true outside of his time on ABC — how many comedians can’t hit a blue streak sometimes? — but Saget seemed to particularly delight in puncturing hi...
