It’s tough being the daughter of one of the coolest rock stars in the world. At least, that’s what Zoë Kravitz would have you believe as she was joined by Denzel Washington this week for the unveiling of her father Lenny Kravitz’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Four-time Grammy winner Kravitz was honored Tuesday with the star but got roasted by his daughter, who took the opportunity to gently mock her dad, the rock star and style icon.
“I’ve seen the way you show up and take care of the people you love,” the Big Little Lies actress said from the podium. “I’ve seen your incredible dedication to your art. But mostly, I’ve seen through your shirts. According to my dad, if it doesn’t expose your nipples, it’s not a shirt. And sure, it used to embarrass me when you...

Let’s start here: the production design in Tom Gustafson’s Glitter & Doom is impeccable, colorful, and memorable. Too often these days films lack an adventurous color palette. Here we have a welcome outlier. Production designer Geo Martínez breathes life into each frame. Next there’s the music. The film is a musical set to the indelible tunes of the Indigo Girls, the folk-rock duo that became a household name in the late ’80s and early ’90s with hits like “Closer to Fine” and “Galileo.” Without question are music and lyrics the most essential piece of this problematically simple narrative. These artists are long overdue for legacy-laden admiration and celebration.
Now, for some criticism. We have Glitter (Alex Diaz) who wants to be a successful circus performer. We have Doom (Alan Cammish) who wants to be a successful musician. Both are struggling as they tilt at the windmills of their dreams.

He was sitting pretty, too, considering that the members his team, whittled down to just showman Noivas and country singer Grace West, were the likeliest to win the title. Did anyone from Team Kelly Clarkson, Chance the Rapper or Niall Horan deliver such a knockout that they might pull off an upset? Did Noivas and/or Grace stumble? Read on, and we’ll discuss.

Montreal and Madrid-based international sales and distribution company Pink Parrot Media will represent the film at the upcoming Cannes film market.

Baz Luhrmann's Academy Award-nominated cinematic spectacle "Elvis" is more heavily rooted in reality than meets the eye. The director did extensive research into the singer's backstory to reveal the true and untold details of his past musical influences, especially in the opening scenes of the film. Luhrmann and composer Elliot Wheeler pulled authentic pieces of the South and poured them into every detail of these scenes — particularly, of course, into the score. In a biopic about one of the most famous musicians of all time, what could be more important than the music?
In one of the early moments in "Elvis," the young pop star is introduced to blues in a juke joint, then runs into a tent to listen to gospel. The scene is based on a real-life story told by Elvis' childhood friend, Sam Bell, whom Luhrmann met with prior to filming.

Tones and I has announced her debut album Welcome to the Madhouse, the Australian singer’s first official LP following a string of singles that includes her hits “Dance Monkey” and “Fly Away,” with the latter appearing on the upcoming album.
“This album for me is very up and down and reflects the forever changing emotions in me,” Tones and I — a YouTube busker-turned-hitmaker — said in a statement of Welcome to the Madhouse. “There are songs on the album that were written before ‘Dance Monkey,’ about not knowing if busking was right for me.

Love, loss and lifelong friendship is at the heart of Netflix’s latest binge worthy drama. Based on Kristin Hannah’s novel of the same name, Firefly Lane follows the decades-long friendship of Tully (Katherine Heigl) and Kate (Sarah Chalke) who meet as teen neighbors living on the titular street and are bonded by a chance encounter after a traumatic event. Over ten episodes the show follows the friends at different stages of their lives – as teenage girls, as young women embarking on careers and family and as forty-somethings juggling different sets of life events
The show doesn’t cover the entirety of the book and also makes some major diversions from the plot, adding in and taking out various characters. There’s also a sequel to the novel called Fly Away, so there’s heaps of material should Netflix decide to renew for a second series, and that’s...

Season 1 of Netflix’s new friendship drama “Firefly Lane” ends with a flashforward and a cliffhanger, leaving fans with a lot of unanswered questions about the relationship at the core of the show.
Without much in the way of explanation, the final moments of the season jump forward several years to the day of Kate’s (Sarah Chalke) father’s funeral (itself something of a season-long mystery with the identity of the deceased being withheld until the end) where it’s revealed that Kate and Tully (Katherine Heigl) are no longer friends. The duo, best friends through thick and thin since childhood, have apparently gone through something in those intervening years that was bad enough for them to call it quits.

There's always something in Kristin Hannah's novels that manages to tug at the heartstrings of her readers. Firefly Lane, which has recently been turned into a Netflix series, is no different. Though the events in Firefly Lane and its sequel, Fly Away, span a total of 30 years, it's a moment in Tully Hart and Kate Mularkey's adulthood that has us concerned about Tully's fate.
At the end of the second episode of the series, Kate and her daughter head to a funeral - but who has died? We turned to the books for answers, and though events in the series may differ, here's what we found.

As the 56-year-old rocker shared with E!'s Morgan Stewart, he struggled at first when writing this book. "The hardest part was starting, I didn't know what my voice was in writing a book and telling a story like that," Lenny exclusively relayed. "The easiest part was just finishing it and accepting it." In fact, as he continued, Lenny said writing and completing Let Love Rule was "the best therapy that I'd ever had in my life."

The Notorious B.I.G. is the only solo male artist being inducted into the delayed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony next month. In fact, he is the only solo male to be chosen for the past three induction ceremonies. This astounding fact follows several years of voters catching up on such artists as Neil Diamond (2011), Donovan (2012), Randy Newman (2013), Peter Gabriel (2014), Cat Stevens (2014), Lou Reed (2015), Bill Withers (2015), Steve Miller (2016), Nile Rodgers (2017) and Tupac Shakur (2017) with none for 2018 and 2019.
It’s not for a lack of choices, however. Our new poll below offers 12 male artists who have been ignored for years despite being eligible for induction. Vote for the one man you feel most deserves to be selected for the 2021 ceremony.

Dunno about you, but after some of the dubious song selections The Voice’s Season 17 contestants and coaches have made, I was looking forward in a big way to Fan Week, during which the audience assigns the contestants their numbers. If nothing else, viewers couldn’t do worse than whoever thought it was a good idea for Team Kelly Clarkson to choke out the Cranberries’ “Linger,” right? (Shudder.) So, which of the Top 11 nailed — and failed at — their covers? Read on. We’ll discuss.

Lenny Kravitz, 55, is getting ready to walk daughter Zoë, 30, down the aisle! In May, Zoë secretly married her beau Karl Glusman, but she's still planning to have a formal wedding in France, which is reportedly set to take place this weekend. Opening up to People, Lenny chatted about Zoë's big day and the special meaning it holds to him as a father.
"It'll be a trip and emotional for all the reasons anybody would understand," Lenny said. "But also because that's the one thing my mother talked about before she died, that she wanted to live long enough to see her granddaughter get married." In 1995, Lenny's mother, Roxie Roker - who starred on the sitcom The Jeffersons - died of breast cancer.
"When my mother passed [Zoë] was young," he continued. "She remembers her, and has really fond memories, but it didn't get to the point where they'd get into deep conversation.

In the opening minutes of The Good Fight‘s superbly audacious Season 3 premiere on CBS All Access, Kurt attempts to derail the self-sabotage train careening through Diane’s happy brain by assuring his bride, “Everything’s gonna be alright.” He then naively asks, “What could go wrong?” The universe wastes no time responding to that question by unloading on Christine Baranski’s freshly jinxed, Trump-hating legal eagle a dumpster fire of fresh hell. Let’s sort through all the mishegoss.

John Falsey, the co-creator with Joshua Brand of the groundbreaking St. Elsewhere, Northern Exposure, I’ll Fly Away, and writer of other classics of the 1980s and ’90s, died Jan. 3 in Iowa City, Iowa. He was 67.
Falsey’s death was announced to The New York Times by brother James Falsey, who said the cause of death was complications of a head injury sustained in a fall at home.
Nominated for 11 Emmy Awards, Falsey shared three wins with Brand, the first in 1987 for A Year in the Life, which won the outstanding mini-series trophy. The second and third followed in 1992, when Northern Exposure was named outstanding dramatic series and I’ll Fly Away took the best writing award for its pilot episode.
Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Falsey was a story editor for CBS’ The White Shadow starring Ken Howard; Brand was a writer on the show. After that show ended,...

No matter where Lenny Kravitz is, he can write a song. “I write music on anything,” he says nonchalantly. “I write in my head, I write on the guitar, I write on the drums.”
For the past three decades, the singer-songwriter has been seizing control of his inspiration and turning it into hits. He’s won four Grammy Awards, and since 1989, he’s put out a succession of albums that have been certified gold to multi-platinum and produced singles like “It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over,” “Fly Away...

Reese Witherspoon, Lenny Kravitz and Zoe Kravitz joined Jimmy Fallon for a rambunctious game of “Lip Sync Charades” on The Tonight Show Monday.
The four were split into two teams – Fallon and Witherspoon versus the Kravitz’s – and for the game, one player was tasked with lip syncing and acting out a song while their teammate tried to guess the title while wearing noise-canceling headphones. Fallon went first, selecting Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive,” though his disco strutting confused Witherspoon into guessing tracks like “Walk This Way” and “Walk on the Wild Side.

I was beyond excited when I heard that Sam Waterson and Philip Winchester were going to guest star on Law & Order: Svu.
I've been a fan of the Law & Order franchise from the beginning and Sam Waterson for longer than that. I still remember his role on the short-lived I'll Fly Away, and I love him on Grace & Frankie.
I was heartbroken when Chicago Justice was canceled after only one season, so seeing Peter Stone again was doubly exciting. I didn't expect Ben Stone to die, nor did I expect Barba to resign so that Peter could take his place, though.
Law & Order: Svu Season 19 Episode 12 was a powerful hour of television that was full of surprises. I'm not quite sure how I feel about any of this.
Exit stories are always risky. Viewers get attached to characters and seeing them go is heartbreaking!

I’ve been watching, among other things, the current reboot of ‘Will & Grace‘. One of, many, many, many new TV reboots that are occurring. Alright, I know, I’m not breaking any new ground, Hollywood’s not that original, blah, blah, blah. Still though, this TV reboot caught my attention. For one thing–really? This show you’re rebooting? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love ‘Will & Grace‘ I actually I might argue that it’s one of the more underrated shows of all-time, and had it not been directly up against ‘CSI‘ for so many years, I think it might’ve won more Best Comedy Series Emmys than it actually did. It’s still one of only three series, ‘All in the Family‘ and ‘The Golden Girls‘ being the others, where every original main member of the regular cast won an acting Emmy for said series. I...

He’s now a TV director and an award-winning travel writer, but Andrew McCarthy knows what his most memorable film role is, even 30 years later. On the book tour for his latest effort, Ya novel Just Fly Away, he stopped by The A.V. Club, just blocks away from the site of his first movie, and talked about the early years of his career. McCarthy also reveals how he got his role in Pretty In Pink and that he understands why his character Blane is the romantic ideal for girls who grew up on that movie. Assistant editor Gwen Ihnat, who was one of those girls, tries to keep it together during her talk with the actor.
