Kim Kardashian, the reality TV star and business mogul, has condemned Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids and defended immigrant communities in her hometown of Los Angeles. "There HAS to be a BETTER way," the 44-year-old wrote in a post to her Instagram story. Newsweek has reached out to a representative for Kardashian outside of regular working hours via email for comment.

Brian Wilson has left behind a multi-million dollar legacy. The former lead singer of The Beach Boys has passed away at the age of 82 after an ongoing battle with dementia. Before facing health struggles, he created a net worth of $100 million, made primarily from his time with the 1961 rock band. His net worth of $100 million could have been a lot higher if his father Murry hadn't sold the publishing company, Sea of Tunes, which controlled the rights of the majority of Brian's biggest hits. In 1969, he had made a deal with Irving Alamo Music for...

Beach Boys founder Brian Wilson was hailed by his fellow stars as tributes poured in following the legendary musician's death aged 82. The God Only Knows hitmaker shot to fame as the frontman of the Beach Boys, for which he served as the principal songwriter as well as the co-lead vocalist. Last year, weeks after the death of his longtime wife Melinda, it emerged that he had been diagnosed with a neurocognitive disorder similar to dementia. When news of his death broke Wednesday, his fans leapt to social media to share their grief, including Elton John, who shared a throwback...

The “John Wick” franchise has just returned to life with “Ballerina,” starring Ana de Armas as a Ruska Roma dancer who trains as an assassin to avenge the death of her father. But even if the series’ producers hadn’t come up with the genius idea of making a spin-off movie about a killer who puts the brutal pow in plié, the “John Wick” series would still be coming back to life. At CinemaCon in early April, it was announced that Keanu Reeves would be returning to star in “John Wick 5.” That might have come as a surprise to anyone...

They know all about glory days on the Kop – the fabled terrace that is the spiritual home of fans of Liverpool – England’s Premier League champions. But they’re more used to legends like Kenny Dalglish or Mohamed Salah banging in goals than political cries for help. So, it was surreal to watch alongside thousands of middle-aged Brits as Bruce Springsteen bemoaned America’s democracy crisis on hallowed footballing ground. “The America that I love … a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous” administration, Springsteen said at Anfield...

Be a clever cinephile, if you want. Walk out of a screening of Jaws and say, “That’s the movie that ruined movies.” You’ll be right, if that’s important to you. On June 20, 1975, Jaws opened on 464 screens at once—a record at the time—breaking the tradition of a slow rollout built on strong word of mouth. It worked. Jaws was the No. 1 film in America for 14 weeks and became the first film ever to gross more than $100 million. Ever a copycat industry, Hollywood imitated the success of this strategy, launching a shift in emphasis from...

My latest song. Let there be rockabilly!

About 250 Hollywood stars joined with Planned Parenthood last week in a full-page New York Times ad that called for continued taxpayer funding of the abortion industry giant. “I’m for Planned Parenthood,” proclaims the ad. The celebrities, among them singers Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, and Cyndi Lauper, and actor George Lopez, cite three reasons for their support, including because they’re for “freedom” and for “health care.” Their third reason echoes Planned Parenthood’s common deceitful claim that they support getting “the government” out of decisions about abortion. In reality, Planned Parenthood and its allies are, in this very ad, pushing for...

I saw them in Denver, center stage, about row 9. A great show.

Get Ready is the RIAA Platinum-certified second studio album by American blues rock band Rare Earth. It was released on September 30, 1969 by Motown Records. The album spawned one hit single, an edited version of "Get Ready", which peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1970.

I came across this trailer last night for this film staring Neal McDonough. I haven't heard of it and it was released this month. I rarely watch films in theaters these days as there are so few modern films that are worth seeing. But this looks pretty good to me. Has anyone here seen it? Based on the comments for the trailer Neal McDonough is non-woke and is a good guy.

I loved Top Gun Maverick. I know this one is not as good, but is it still worth seeing at the movies?

Throughout music history, bands have been formed by members who were friends or perhaps created by ambitious producers looking for the next Big Sensation. On the other hand, there are also bands that were born out of cartoons, television programs, and movies. They generally only performed as musical acts on the screen yet achieved the success of a traditional group by releasing records and videos, blurring the lines between real and fiction. While they may not have received major awards or recognition, real people did lend their voices to these pieces of vinyl. snp The Archies The Banana Spits The...
