Don’t Look Up is directed by Adam McKay, who brought us The Big Short, Vice, Anchorman and Stepbrothers. The cast also includes Cate Blanchett, Jonah Hill, Tyler Perry, Mark Rylance, Timothée Chalamet, Michael Chiklis and many more.

No Comments on The Kid Laroi drops the video for ‘Still Chose You’; announces hiatus to work on debut album

The Kid Laroi has dropped his new video for “Still Chose You” featuring Mustard. The video shows Mustard plays the piano as the Kid Laroi sings about “tripping” on a new love after swearing off falling for someone again.

The singer also wrote a letter to fans, thanking them on social media, saying. “I hope you all enjoy the ‘Still Chose You video! I know that record is a fan favorite so I felt that it was only right for that to be the video that finally closes the F*ck Love era. It’s been a wild year, to say the least. Seeing the impact of the project and hearing about how it’s helped and changed so many people’s lives is f*ckin’ beautiful but also incredibly surreal. It’s the reason why I do this sh*t. My life has also changed so much this past year because of it and I owe it all to every single one of you. There is no way I will ever be able to repay you.” LAROI added that he plans to take “some time away from everything” to work on his debut album.

Take a look at the video for ‘Still Chose You” – here.

No Comments on “I think we got us a good one”: Cole Swindell and Lainey Wilson collaborate on “Never Say Never”

Cole Swindell and Lainey Wilson are vowing to “Never Say Never” in their new collaboration.

The hitmakers are teaming up for a fiery new song that finds two people who can’t stay apart. It’s set for release on Thursday.

Cole and Lainey teased the song in a humorous video wherein they trade questions about things they would “never” do, whether it’s switching hats, Cole wearing a pair of Lainey’s bell bottoms, or Lainey accepting his offer of a White Claw, instead presenting two cans of Loud Lemon.

“Cole, what you say we do a song together?” Lainey asks, with Cole replying, “I’d never say never with you.” The two cast a deadpan look at the camera that leads into a teaser of the song, with them singing, “I never say never with you/I end up together with you/It’s hell and it’s heaven with you baby.”

“I've been waiting a long time for this one. @laineywilson LET'S GO,” Cole proclaims in the caption.

“@coleswindell, I think we got us a good one. Super excited to share this one with y’all on Thursday!” remarks Lainey.

The “Never Say Never” collaboration follows Cole’s most recent #1 hit, “Single Saturday Night,” and Lainey’s first #1 single in 2021 with “Things a Man Oughta Know.”

No Comments on “He was the real star of the show”: Dan + Shay bring young fan onstage to sing “I Should Probably Go to Bed”

Dan + Shay are spilling all the details of how they invited a young fan to sing with them at a recent show in Kansas City.

In a Twitter thread, the Grammy winning duo shares how, when they looked out into the packed crowd at the T-Mobile Center, they spotted a young boy, Kyler, in the front row holding a sign that read “I should probably go to bed but…I’ve waited 14,016 hours for my first concert.” On the back of the sign was the request, “Can I come play guitar and sing with you?”

The duo obliged, inviting the young fan onstage to show off his skills performing their hit, “I Should Probably Go to Bed.” “When we get to the chorus, the ‘I should probably go to bed’ part, the entire crowd is going to sing it with you. They’re going to be very loud, it’s going to be really awesome, it’s going to feel really cool,” Dan Smyers prefaced.

Kyler proceeded to show off his impressive guitar and vocal skills, owning the stage with his confident delivery while the crowd sang every word along with them and the duo served as his hype men. The performance ended with the duo embracing Kyler in a congratulatory hug.

“He absolutely crushed it and proved to everyone that he was the real star of the show,” Dan + Shay praised in a note to fans after the show. “It’s moments like this that make us so grateful for what we get to do. Hopefully someday when Kyler is selling out stadiums, he’ll let us open for him.”

The twosome also shared a photo of Kyler holding a framed picture of the special moment that his classmates gave him at school.

Dan + Shay continue on The (Arena) Tour through December 7.

No Comments on Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon released without bail Monday after surrendering to federal authorities in Washington, D.C.

Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon was released without bail Monday after surrendering to federal authorities in Washington, D.C., where he faces criminal charges after defying a subpoena from the lawmakers investigating the deadly Capitol invasion. The 67-year-old Bannon was charged with two counts of contempt of Congress following his refusal to comply with demands to produce documents and sit for a deposition as part of that investigation. Each count of contempt of Congress is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and a maximum fine of $100,000.

Magistrate Judge Robin Meriweather said during Bannon’s brief initial appearance that he will be subject to general supervision requirements as part of the conditions of his release. He will have to regularly report to pretrial services and alert them to any plans to travel outside Washington. Bannon has also surrendered his passport and agreed not to obtain any other international travel documents.

Bannon did not enter a plea at the hearing. He is scheduled to appear before U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols on Thursday at 11 a.m. ET. Appearing outside the FBI’s Washington field office before turning himself in, Bannon claimed he and his allies were “taking down the Biden regime.”

Bannon was a senior White House advisor during the first seven months of Trump’s single term in office. He was fired by Trump years before the 2020 presidential election and the Jan. 6 invasion.

Drive-by shooting at Colorado park near high school sends 6 teens to hospital; suspects still at large

No Comments on Drive-by shooting at Colorado park near high school sends 6 teens to hospital; suspects still at large

Six teenagers were wounded in a shooting involving multiple suspects at a small park close to a high school in Aurora, Colorado. The shooting happened around 12:45 p.m., police spokesperson Matthew Longshore said.

Police Chief Vanessa Wilson said Monday that the six students from Aurora Central High School, ranging in age from 14 to 18, were brought to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. School resource officers responded and applied a tourniquet to one victim, who went into surgery, Wilson said. Investigators found shell casings from different caliber guns and witnesses said there were multiple suspicious vehicles. Said Wilson: “My understanding is it was a drive-by shooting, as well as there may have been people on foot. I think enough is enough. And I think we need to come together as a community. This is a public health crisis.”

Aurora Police tweeted that the shooting occurred at Nome Park, just north of Central High School, where officials enacted a secure perimeter. The city of Aurora’s website says Nome Park is .8 acres and features a playground and community garden. Aurora Central High School had more than 2,000 students.
