Lorde Cranks Up ‘Solar Power’ For ‘Late Show’ Rooftop Performance
With her seven-piece band dressed in muted suits, the singer climbed up onto a mirrored riser as the song’s seductive chorus kicked in and the air filled with a swarm of bubbles.

Two Former Sex Pistols Sue John Lydon over Music Licensing in Danny Boyle Miniseries
Two former Sex Pistols — guitarist Steve Jones and drummer Paul Cook — are suing John “Johnny Rotten” Lydon for blocking the licensing of the group’s music for Danny Boyle’s Sex Pistols miniseries. Pistol is a six-episode limited series that’s been adapted from Jones’ 2017 memoir Lonely Boy: Tales From a Sex Pistol. It’s been causing tension among the onetime bandmates ever since it was announced, and while legal action isn’t a surprise, the direction of it is.

As The Associated Press reports, J...

But here’s hoping he gets some good writing for a change. His last two movies were the poorly received Dolittle and The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard. Adver...
