“Okay, okay I get it!” the Jack Ryan star responds. “No, no, no, she’s right, you better be funny,” MGK chimes in with a hard stare. In the second clip, Gardner asks the MC-turned-pop-punker (born Richard Colson Baker) how he came up with his stage name. “Oh, my mother’s maiden name is Machine Gun,” he jokes. MGK recently released the 50-minute Downfalls High — the companion movie to his Billboard 200 No. 1 album Tickets to My Downfall — which he wrote and directed with Mod Sun and which features frequent collaborator Travis Barker, Sydney Sweeney, Chase Hudson, Trippie Redd, Blackbear, Iann Dior and Maggie Lindemann.

Leto was really sold on the pair’s talent when he invited them to play a tiny show at his house during a dinner party for 12 people, where they blew the A-list guests away. “I said, ‘Hey, will you guys come and play a couple of songs?’ and they were, like, ‘Yeah, sure,’ and they showed up with a Guitar Center p.a. and played the most heartbreakingly beautiful music with, like, you know, it shouldn’t have sounded that good, it was impossible that it sounded that good,” he said. “I remember Leo DiCaprio was there and a couple of other people and they were just, like, ‘How did you find these people and, like, who are they?’ Everyone was just jaws on the floor, 12 people max at my place in the hills. Yeah, just great people. I...
“I have to say you’re kind of like my good luck charm,” Astin told Clarkson when she praised his cover, noting that he also did “Since U Been Gone” in the first PP movie and on the soundtrack. But, he added, “I don’t know if you know this, but your songs are hard!” Clarkson agreed, joking that she usually figures that out when she goes on tour and realizes she has to sing “all 17 of these songs every single night! Like over and over. That’s when I lower the [register of the] songs.” Astin said his moment with Zoey was especially special because it’s the first time that Levy’s character has sung a duet with someone on the show. In the same episode, Clarkson chatted with 9-1-1 star Jennifer Love Hewitt about the ti...
For an artist who specializes in the gentler side of indie rock, Ariel Pink has had an eventful new year. The Los Angeles native, known to friends and family as Ariel Rosenberg, was outed as a participant in Trump’s March on the Capitol last week, though he distanced himself from the uglier scenes that were broadcast to the world. On Twitter, he declared, “I don’t and never have advocated for violent confrontation or rioting,” and claimed he was in D.C. “to peacefully show my support for the president,” he added. “I attended the rally on the white house lawn and went back to hotel and took a nap. case closed.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Kelly Clarkson performed a spirited run through The Chicks‘ “Sin Wagon” on Thursday’s (Jan. 14) edition of Kellyoke. The Texas-born singer, who has always had a healthy dose of giddyup in her voice, leaned hard into the song from the Chicks’ — then known as the Dixie Chicks — 1999 smash album Fly, complete with furious fiddle, galloping stand-up bass and a raucous cowgirl yelp at the end. The song, whose title was inspired by a scene in the movie Grease, hit No. 52 on Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs chart in the fall of 1999 and features some of the Chicks’ signature provocative lyrics. It opens with Clarkson breathlessly singing, “He pushed me ’round/ Now I’m drawin’ the line/ He lived his life/ Now I...
Thanking those who reached out with kind words and support throughout her recovery, DeGeneres expressed her wish to have “hugged each and every one” of her fans. “That would have been dangerous and illegal, probably,” the host joked. The Ellen DeGeneres Show paused production in early Dec. on the final day of the show’s “Twelve Days of Giveaways” seasonal event. As a result, DeGeneres invited the same audience back to the show who missed out on their gifts in December. The host went on to recount the dramatic events on set the day she received her COVID-19 test result. While sitting in hair and makeup, the 62-year-old remembered her assistant Craig walking in to inform her that she had tested positive. “And then, everyone around me ran away,” DeGeneres said. “It’s funny, p...
Justin Bieber, future Shark? On Friday (Jan. 8), the superstar made a surprise appearance on ABC’s Shark Tank to co-sign an entrepreneur’s ergonomic office chair. In the episode, CEO Bing Howenstein walked into the Shark Tank in an effort to gain funding for his company ALL33, and used a video message from Bieber to help make his pitch to Mark Cuban, Barbara Corcoran, and co. “Hey Sharks, I’m Justin Bieber and this is the ALL33; it’s the chair that moves like I do,” the pop star says in a pre-recorded clip midway through the presentation, while repping a baby blue t-shirt from his own “Drew” line. “I mean, guys, look at this perfect posture! I’ve got my chest up, my shoulders back, I’m ready for anything. If you’ve got...
“It’s great to be back in business with Danny Boyle, an exceptional artist responsible for so many great feature films and TV series,” said Nick Grad, president original programming at FX. “Steve Jones was at the center of the storm that shook the rock establishment and we’re thrilled to have Danny and the rest of the creative team tell his story as a member of one of music’s most notorious bands — the Sex Pistols.” Pistol will center on Jones, who co-founded the Sex Pistols in the mid-1970s. It will follow his life from West London’s council estates to Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren’s boutique, Sex — one of the early centers of punk culture in London — and the band’s meteoric rise and fall. “Imagine breaking into the ...
