Maury Ending After 30 Seasons
Maury, you are… not coming back next season. NBCUniversal announced earlier this week that the long-running talk show will end at the conclusion of its current, 30th season. Hosted by Maury Povitch, now 83, the show first began airing in 1991 as The Maury Povitch Show before shortening its name to the now-classic Maury seven years later. Joining the packed talk show landscape of the ’90s, the series stood out from — and outlasted — competitors like Jerry Springer, The Jenny Jones Show, and The Ricki Lake Show by becoming famous for its on-air paternity reveals. “[Episodes] touch so many classic themes, whether it’s love, distrust, conflict, drama,” the host once explained in a 2012 interview with The Chicago Tribune. “And the paternity shows in particular, you’ve got he-said, she-said, is-...

Ex-THE HAUNTED Singer PETER DOLVING Has ‘Persistently Tried’ To Make Peace With His Former Bandmates
Ex-THE HAUNTED frontman Peter Dolving, who left the band more than a decade ago, says that he has “persistently tried” to make peace with his former bandmates without much success. The 52-year-old singer, who is currently the CEO of Svenska Verde AB, a Swedish med-tech company specializing in cannabinoid API, reflected on his exit from the group in a brand new interview with Pierre Gutiérrez of Rock Talks. Asked if he is still in contact with any of the members of THE HAUNTED, Peter said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I will give you a sad and honest straight answer: I have persistently tried, and I even met some of them on the street. I have had a sympathetic few meetings with Per [Möller Jensen, drums] — everything all good, all love. With the other guys, they&#...

Kanye West Grammys Performance Offer Rescinded: Report
Kanye West has been barred from performing at the 2022 Grammys, The Hollywood Reporter and Variety point out. Variety cited an initial report from the Blast that attributed the Recording Academy’s decision to rescind the offer for West to perform due to his “concerning online behavior.” A representative for West later confirmed the details of the Blast report to Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.

Goonew, Maryland Rapper, Shot Dead at 24
Maryland rapper Goonew, best known for his distinct whispery delivery and his frequent collaborations with Lil Dude, has died after being shot on Friday night (March 18) in Prince George’s County. Goonew’s manager confirmed the news to The Washington Post, stating that the rapper died a few hours after he was transported to a hospital. Local CBS affiliate WUSA9 spoke with Goonew’s family following the tragic news. “I don’t believe this,” Goonew’s mother, Patrice Parker Morrow told the outlet. “All he wanted to do is try to get his family out the hood. He had a heart bigger than his body, when they took him, they took me.” Goonew was 24 years old. Born Markelle Antonio Morrow, Goonew released his first mixtape, Certified Goon, in 2017 and followed it up with Goonwick, Big 64, and Goonrich U...
Weezer Go Vivaldi-Rock (?) on SZNZ: Spring EP
For a band still very much defined by the crunchy alt-pop of their very first album (and by the departures from that sound on their classic follow-up), Weezer has used its unlikely second and third decades as a band to practice a surprising amount of eclecticism. For Decade Two (roughly 2003 through 2013), this translated to never knowing whether a Weezer song would be pop-rock bliss or appalling disaster, leaving only the certainty that any given album would have at least several tracks’ worth of each. But since 2014 or so, the band has seemed less defiantly scattershot in their experiments. Their albums still come out at a steady clip, but they feel more sonically and thematically cohesive — without sacrificing their playfulness. Appropriate for its debut in a season of blooming, the ban...
‘CODA’ & Docs About The Beatles & Tom Petty Win 2022 PGA Awards (Full Winners List)
CODA, Encanto, Summer of Soul and documentaries about The Beatles and Tom Petty won at the 33rd Annual Producers Guild Awards, which were held on Saturday (March 19) at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles. The Producers Guild Awards are often a bellwether for the Oscars. Since its inception, the PGA has correctly predicted 22 of the 32 winners of the Academy Award for best picture. In the last five years, they have agreed three times (The Shape of Water, Green Book and Nomadland), and disagreed twice. Five years ago, La La Land won the PGA Award, but Moonlight (eventually) won the Oscar. Two years ago, 1917 won the PGA Award, but Parasite won the Oscar.
