It has been over half a decade since The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part opened to critical acclaim, but failed to make it big at the box office, leading to WB selling the IP to Universal. But at last, a new entry in the franchise is finally coming our way, starring some of the biggest names in the realm of music, including the likes of Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, and Kendrick Lamar.
Announced back in January, the upcoming Lego Pharrell Williams biopic’s trailer was finally unveiled, and Lamar’s first look from the film has sent fans into a frenzy.

Pharrell Williams has always done things differently in his music and his fashion, so why would his movie be different?
The singer-producer-designer is doing a biopic about his life. Focus Features just released the trailer for it. But it’s not your average musician biopic of the kind “Walk Hard” parodied. No, Williams is telling his life story through Legos. The movie is called “Piece by Piece,” but a more descriptive title would be “The Lego Pharrell Movie.”
The film follows Williams’ artistic journey, from growing up in Virginia Beach to the peak of the music industry, but tells it in an unconventional way, with impressionistic animation that combines psychedelia and Legos. The film is directed by Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy-winning documentary filmmaker Morgan Neville in his feature debut.
Williams and Neville hope the film resonates not just with fans of Williams’ music, but anyone seeking inspiration. “We wanted it...

It’s been a while since we’ve received a (proper) Lego movie, but as things stand now, the famous blocks are coming back to the big screen but in the most unexpected way possible. Namely, the upcoming biopic Piece by Piece, which will tell the story of Pharrell Williams, is going to be the next Lego film, as the biopic is going to be an animated one made in the style of previous Lego films. This, honestly, surprised us (we have no clue who’d rush to the cinema to see it), but we’re not the ones to judge before seeing the project, so we’ll bring our final verdict later this year, when the movie comes out.
But, if you wanted a preview of that to expect from the film, we can confirm that the first teaser trailer has just been released, and we are going to...

"I firmly believe that everybody has talent, beauty, and potential." Focus Features has unveiled the first official trailer for Piece by Piece, a Lego version of the story of musician Pharrell Williams. This is one of the first Lego movies that is not related to another franchise (like Star Wars or Jurassic Park) or its own creation, instead it's all about Pharrell, but told using the same animated Lego style as the other movies. Described as a "one-of-a-kind cinematic experience about one of music's most innovative minds." Yeah this is cool. With appearances by Gwen Stefani, Kendrick Lamar, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, and Snoop Dogg. Follow this autobiographical movie where Pharrell Williams shows his imaginative and creative process using Lego, as he constructs models representing his artistic development. Each build reflects a different creative milestone. It's directed by doc mastermind Morgan Neville, and will hit theaters in October this year.

Pharrell Williams is revisiting the building blocks of his life — literally.
Williams’ biography is captured by Lego animation for feature film “Piece by Piece,” directed by Academy Award winner Morgan Neville, who also gets Lego-fied for the meta film. As do Gwen Stefani, Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Busta Rhymes, and Snoop Dogg.
Billed as an “unparalleled motion picture experience,” the animated biopic stars Williams as a Lego version of himself as he tells his own life story. Grammy-winning and Academy Award-nominated musician Williams announced the project on Instagram in January 2024, captioning, “Who would’ve thought that playing with Legos as a kid would evolve into a movie about my life. It’s proof that anyone else can do it too… #PieceByPiece.”
“Piece by Piece” has been in the works since early 2019, when Williams reached out to Neville with the concept.

The trailer for Focus Features’ upcoming movie “Piece by Piece” begins with a Lego-fied Pharrell Williams sitting down for an interview about his life.
“You know what what would be cool is if we told my story with Lego pieces,” Lego Pharrell tells the similarly-bricked director Morgan Neville (the Oscar-winning documentarian behind “20 Feet From Stardom”), who chuckles politely and asks, “Seriously?” Pharrell replies: “Just be open.”
The colorfully and creatively reimagined scene is pretty close to how the conversation played out nearly five years ago, Neville says, as he and Williams sign on to a Zoom chat to discuss how this innovative project came together.
“That’s how the conversation went down in my head,” he tells Variety. “I didn’t know what it was going to be, but it was going to be interesting and I was completely in.”
And the result is unlike anything he’s ever done — or seen — before.

Joe Carnahan’s Narc opens in a frenzy, as a narcotics detective, Nick Tellis (Jason Patric), chases a drug dealer through the streets of Detroit on foot. There are echoes here of the foot chase that unspools midway through Kathyrn Bigelow’s Point Break, with these men bashing forth in and out of houses, over fences, through playgrounds, their collision with endless variables driving up anxiety. Narc’s images aren’t as polished as that film’s, partially by necessity, partially by design, as Tellis’s improvisations to get his perp mirror those of Carnahan, who’s fashioning a high-voltage set piece on the fly, an upstart filmmaker balling on a budget. It’s a hell of an opening, establishing Narc’s tortured atmosphere and fractured aesthetic, with shaky, chilly images cut and reassembled (by editor John Gilroy) into shards that suggest policework to be a roaring inferno.

Hip-hop artist Missy Elliott has thrilled fans with the announcement of her upcoming tour, “The Missy Elliott Experience,” scheduled for 2024. This will mark Missy Elliott’s first-ever headlining tour.
Along with her on the musical journey are special guests Busta Rhymes, Ciara and Timbaland, who will open each date of the summer tour.
Born as Melissa Arnette Elliott in Portsmouth, Virginia, Missy Elliott initially formed a girl group called Sista with Fayze and Timbaland (Tim Mosley).

Riley and his Vietnamese love interest, Violet Tuyet, were featured in Season 6 of the flagship series’ spinoff, Before the 90 Days.
Their up-and-down relationship was deemed toxic off the bat, and we watched as these two struggled to find a common ground.
Cultural differences, frequent disagreements, and a pregnancy scare all played a role in their tumultuous love story, and eventually, they went their separate ways.
Since his appearance on TLC, Riley has been focusing on himself, and it shows.

The Group C final took place on “The Masked Singer” Wednesday night, with Lizard going home in third place after belting out “Bring Me to Life” by Evanescence. Clock and Poodle Moth advanced to the “Shower Anthems Night” Battle Royal, where Clock prevailed but judges Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong and Rita Ora used the season’s one and only “Ding Dong Keep it On” bell to save Poodle Moth. While those two contestants advanced to the quarterfinals, Lizard was left to unmask, revealing Grammy-nominated singer Sisqo.
“My family loves the show,” he told host Nick Cannon during his unmasked interview. “Every time we saw a season everybody would always say, ‘Hey! That’s gotta be Sisqo!’ So when I got an opportunity to do it I seized it and it’s been really fun.” He added that during the smackdowns “the Lizard had to embody the spirit of the Dragon.

Shortly after his friend Valentina Gasparini passed away, Residente began seeing the number “313” everywhere.
He’d been in a hotel, listening to one of Gasparini’s old voicemails, when a piano started playing a haunting melody below him. He looked up at the clock: 3:13. Then he began clicking through audio notes Gasparini had left him — she’d been an accomplished violinist and they’d collaborated on a lot of music together. The last one she’d sent him had been at 3:13 p.m. He’d responded with a message that was 3:13 minutes.

Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, and Valerie June combined forces to call for a more transparent and equitable healthcare system in a new PSA set to air this Sunday during Super Bowl Lviii.
Organized by the nonprofit group Power to the Patients, the spot specifically highlights the way hospitals and insurance companies are able to get away with not clearly stating how much certain services and procedures cost and then billing patients afterward. This has contributed to astronomical levels of medical debt around the United States.

Musicians Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson and Valerie June are heading to the Super Bowl — in a new ad for the nonprofit organization Power to the Patients.
The performers appear in a new spot that raises awareness about the health care crisis in America and pushes for officials to be more transparent about the cost of health care. In the commercial, the singers criticize hospitals and insurance companies for robbing patients, many of whom have dealt with medical debt.
“Hospitals and insurance companies all around the United States are stealing our future by looting every patient, worker, employer and family across the country,” Jelly Roll, known for hits like “Need a Favor” and “Save Me,” said in a statement.
Wilson, who won her first Grammy last week, added: “American citizens in need of care are afraid to enter a hospital.”

It’s been almost 20 years since Mariah Carey last won a Grammy, so when she received the Global Impact Award from the Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective, she offered a dose of her signature comical shade.
“Is this a real Grammy? I haven’t seen one in soooooo long,” she said Thursday night as she held the award.
“It’s weird. I don’t know,” Carey continued while laughing as the audience at the Fairmont Century Plaza cheered her on. “We’ll figure out what this is later.”
Carey is easily one of the best-selling acts of all-time and holds the record for most No. 1 hits — 20 — by a solo artist. She’s been nominated for 34 Grammys, winning five: best new artist and best female pop vocal performance (“Vision of Love”) in 1991, as well as three R&b honors at the 2006 ceremony for “We Belong Together” and The Emancipation of Mimi.

Presumably, most people don’t do anything four times voluntarily unless they enjoy it, and Trevor Noah confirms that he does, indeed, enjoy hosting the Grammys. Considering that his first year was the show’s imaginatively socially distanced 2021 Covid edition — 2021 was held as a small yet star-studded outdoor gathering — and the following one was only slightly more “normal,” this is just his second conventional Grammys.
However, conventional is a pretty inaccurate word for a show that includes performances from top nominee Sza, Joni Mitchell — making her Grammys performance debut — as well as U2 (in a remote appearance from Las Vegas’ Sphere), Billy Joel, Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo, Luke Combs, Travis Scott and Burna Boy, with more to be announced.

Since he was drafted, Stefon Diggs has become one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. He was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the fifth round of the 2015 draft. In 2020, the wideout was traded to the Buffalo Bills where he continued to see success with record-breaking performances and multiple trips to the Pro Bowl.
In 2022, the athlete signed a $96 million contract extension with the Bills through the 2027 season. One moment from the day he inked that deal that went viral was when Diggs’ young daughter, Nova, told the team’s general manager Brandon Beane: “Show me the money!”

The last time Sean Combs’ music competed at the Grammys, a then-unknown Mark Zuckerberg had just created Facebook, Nipplegate occurred at the Super Bowl and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King garnered a record-tying 11 Oscars. It was 2004, and Combs, aka Diddy, won best rap performance by a group or duo — his third Grammy — for the thumping hit “Shake Ya Tailfeather,” featuring Nelly and Murphy Lee. The track appeared on the Bad Boys II soundtrack, which Diddy executive produced and released on his Bad Boy label.
So his return to the Grammys, two decades later with a nomination for best progressive R&b album for his The Love Album: Off the Grid, is a major feat — and a proud moment for the artist.

This superbly edited dash through pre-millennial anxieties is a time capsule of archive footage — no narrator, no talking heads, no new interviews — from the years and days leading up the year 2000 that had millions worrying a computer glitch could lead to government takeover, nuclear catastrophe, cats and dogs playing together, and any other kind of mayhem you might imagine.

The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus is a music studio on wheels that kids can use to get creative. It might surprise fans that one of Fergie’s biggest songs was recorded on that bus. The “Glamorous” singer sampled a classic rock icon for the tune in question. John himself was a big fan of that rock star.
1 of Fergie’s songs was recorded in Pittsburgh in the John Lennon Bus
Though she was a child actor who voiced Sally in Peanuts cartoons and a member of the girl group Wild Orchid, Fergie became famous when she joined the Black Eyed Peas. In 2006, she released her solo debut: The Dutchess.

If you’re going to compare them to anyone, though, it might as well be each other. Both started their careers in places with rich musical histories: Yachty began rapping as a teen in the hitmaking playground of Atlanta, while Tierra sharpened her pen and earned a spot in the history of slick MCs who call Philadelphia home.
