Ford Wants to Bring Billboards Inside Your Car, Beamed to the Dashboard Screen
For whatever benefits the vehicle-as-a-service might net a consumer, this new Ford patent hints at a possible downside: inescapable ads blaring on your car’s infotainment screen. The same onboard data connections proliferating throughout vehicle lineups that allow for built-in WiFi and over-the-air vehicle updates could be a pipeline for in-car advertising. What if you drive by a billboard, and suddenly whatever it’s advertising is pushed to your vehicle’s screen? A little, inescapable billboard, not passing by as you drive on, but rather along for the ride—just to make sure you can see it, and (we assume) Ford would get a cut. See all 2 photos While Ford’s patent suggests that reality is at hand, a closer look at what it’s actually proposing is a little diffe...

After Two COVID-19 Cancelations, Bluesfest Plots October Return
It was the second successive year COVID-19 had sunk Bluesfest’s best-laid plans. The most recent was a gut punch for the wider music industry, and the local businesses that rely on footfall that’s triggered by the five days of festivities. That cancelation “really affected the industry and pulled the last strands of confidence out of everything,” notes veteran concert promoter Michael Chugg. Rather than dwell on the negatives, Noble and his team have locked-in a lineup and new dates, Oct. 1-4, for what will be the first major festival to return since the pandemic struck. “We’re rising,” Bluesfest director Peter Noble told Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Breakfast program Wednesday (May 19), immediately after the announcement of Bluesfest’s return. “We have to do that because the Aust...

WBO gives Anthony Joshua 48-hour deadline to secure Tyson Fury mega-fight
Anthony Joshua has been told by the WBO that he has 48 hours to prove that his fight against Tyson Fury can go ahead before he is obliged to face Oleksandr Usyk. An imminent announcement over a much-anticipated clash between the two British heavyweights had been expected this week, with a date of August 14 in Saudi Arabia believed to be in the diary. But those plans were thrown into chaos on Monday after an arbitrary judge ruled that Fury must take on Deontay Wilder in a trilogy bout before September 15 due to a clause in their contract. And despite initial hopes that Wilder would accept a lucrative walk-away pay-off the Bronze Bomber appears determined to beat Fury at the third time of asking, much to the huge disappointment of British boxing fans. This means that Joshua’s likely next opp...
Animated Batman Series from Matt Reeves and J.J. Abrams Coming to HBO Max
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-19T20:05:04+00:00“>May 19, 2021 | 4:05pm ET Quick, to the Bat-Remote! Superstar directors J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves are developing a new animated series called Batman: Caped Crusader. As The Hollywood Reporter notes, it’s found a streaming home on HBO Max alongside the forthcoming cartoon My Adventures with Superman. Joined by DC animation legend Bruce Timm (the man behind the iconic Batman: The Animated Series), Caped Crusader is said to be a “reimagining of the Batman mythology” –although, based on the first poster, it’s still about a man who dresses like a bat. Instead, this seems to refer to a shift in perspective and tone. In a joint statement...
Cher Biopic in the Works
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-20T00:46:08+00:00“>May 19, 2021 | 8:46pm ET Cher is the next music legend set to receive the biopic treatment. The “Goddess of Pop” announced the news ahead of her 75th birthday on Thursday. Five-time Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, A Star is Born) is writing the film, which will be distributed by Universal. Roth will have no shortage of source material to pull from. A multi-hyphenated entertainer whose career spans seven decades, Cher has found success in music, as one of the best-selling singers of all time, both as one-half of Sonny and Cher and as a solo artist; and in film, as an Oscar-winning and Emmy-wining actress known for roles in Moonstruc...
T.I. & Tiny Sexual Assault Investigation Closed In Las Vegas, But Not In Los Angeles
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Prince Williams / Getty Looks like those T.I. and Tiny sexual assault allegations aren’t going to be going away anytime soon. While a case against them in Las Vegas has been dropped, they’re still under investigation for allegedly violating a woman in Los Angeles. TMZ is reporting that the rapper and his R&B wife are in the crosshairs of the LAPD right after Las Vegas authorities announced they were closing a similar case against the reality TV couple. LAPD is looking into allegations made by “Jane Doe” who says the T.I. and his wife violated her after meeting them in a club back in 2005. Jane Doe alleges that after meeting the two at a club, she accepted a drink from Tiny and eventually she and two other women went back to the hotel with T.I. and Tin...
