Lady Gaga snubs old-fashioned Indonesia for Singapore amid rising religious intolerance

Heartbroken Lady Gaga fans in Indonesia have blamed religious hardliners for driving the American pop sensation away from Jakarta after the 14-time Grammy Award winner revealed that Singapore was the only regional stop of her tour. The singer will perform at the city state’s National Stadium on May 18, 19, 21 and 24 as part of her “Mayhem” tour, which also includes concerts in Mexico and Brazil . Music buffs in the Muslim-majority nation who faced similar disappointment more than a decade ago expressed their frustration and hoped to see the Born This Way star perform in Singapore. “I’ll cry a lot if I can’t get the tickets. I’ve been waiting for a long time since 2012 when it was cancelled, I was one of the victims,” a fan said

Matthew McConaughey Sings and Drums His Way to a Standing Ovation at SXSW Premiere of The Rivals of Amziah King

Swarming bees, a story of sweet retribution, and a joyful, mandolin-playing Matthew McConaughey led “The Rivals of Amziah King” to a roaring standing ovation after its late night premiere at the SXSW Film & TV Festival on March 10.  McConaughey introduced the film at the Paramount Theater by referencing Variety’s recent interview that noted the Oscar-winning actor had not appeared in a film since 2019. “I did not know — someone told me it’s been six years since I’d done a film or been on screen,” he said. “Seemed like it’d been quicker than that. I was writing a book and stuff; I thought I was busy!” McConaughey said he was drawn to the idiosyncratic characters who populate the script by writer-director Andrew Patterson, which centers on the powerful bond

Bill Maher Says Anora Won Over Emilia Pérez At The Oscars Because Cancel Culture Is Still With Us

Bill Maher is saying “cancel culture” is still thriving during a conversation Friday with David Sedaris on Real Time with Bill Maher . The HBO host and comedian says the idea of “cancel culture” has evolved into something else and the Karla Sofía Gascón scandal played a part in Emilia Pérez losing at the Oscars, which was “good news for Anora .” “There are people who say cancel culture isn’t a real thing and I would say to them, ‘It just happened at the Oscars,’” Maher said on his talk show. “You may not think it happened but the movie that was going to win it all was Emilia Pérez.” Maher said that “Hollywood loved” the idea that they would “finally have a person, who was a trans person” win

Deep Space Nine Season Finale Nearly Ruined The Show

Deep Space Nine Season Finale Nearly Ruined The Show

By Chris Snellgrove | Published 29 seconds ago The Deep Space Nine Season 1 finale “In the Hands of the Prophets” inadvertently made Star Trek history by breaking with The Next Generation tradition of season-ending cliffhangers. This helped the spinoff establish its own identity, but an early idea for this episode would have ruined the finale by tying it directly to the adventures of the Enterprise-D. That’s because the DS9 producers toyed with the idea of making this finale a TNG crossover in which Picard, Sisko, and their two crews would have to fight off a Cardassian invasion. Deep Space Nine Finale Nearly Became TNG Crossover On paper, this would have given the first Deep Space Nine finale a connection to “Emissary,” the premiere episode that featured a memorable cameo

Feds Hit Diddy With Forced Labor Claims In Sex Trafficking Case; Rejects Move By Rapper To Suppress Digital Evidence

Two months before Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking trial begins in New York, the U.S. Attorney’s office today brought down a new charge against the ‘All About the Benjamins’ performer and shoved back hard on the former mini-mogul’s efforts to have evidence snagged by federal agents squashed. “The S2 Indictment contains no new charged offenses but includes additional allegations related to the racketeering conspiracy charged in Count One,” a short accompanying letter to Thursday’s superseding indictment says. This is the second superseding indictment against Combs since his arrest last fall. “Specifically, the S2 Indictment contains additional allegations as to the means and methods of the racketeering enterprise related to forced labor.” According to prosecutors, one of the ways that forced labor was induced was Combs demanding sex with staff. “These

Fantasy Flop Finally Finds Success On Max

Fantasy Flop Finally Finds Success On Max

By Jonathan Klotz | Published 29 seconds ago Fantasy movies have always faced an upward battle at the box office, with the exception of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, which remains the most successful traditional fantasy series in movie history. However, like that other successful fantasy franchise, Harry Potter (which with its 90s setting isn’t the same sort of swords and sorcery as Tolkien’s masterpiece), once the books were all adapted, it was running out of gas. Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim was the franchise’s return to theaters, and though it was a box office disaster, now that it’s on Max, the standalone anime film has finally found an audience.  Before The War Of The Ring The War of the Rohirrim explores the history
