HarbourView Equity Partners has acquired the rights to the producer royalty income streams of Grammy-winning producer-songwriter Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, the company confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday.

The acquisition marks another notable deal around Jerkins’ catalog, following the producer selling his publishing catalog to Recognition Music Group (formerly Hipgnosis Songs Fund) back in 2020. HarbourView declined to share financial details of the acquisition. Chapter Two, a Swedish music company specializing in music rights transactions, helped facilitate the deal, HarbourView said.

With the purchase, HarbourView is getting Jerkins’ recorded royalties on iconic hits like Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine,” Whitney Houston’s “It’s Not Right but It’s Okay,” Destiny Child’s “Say My Name,” Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” featuring Beyoncé, Justin Bieber’s “As Long As You Love Me,” and Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me.” Jerkins is set to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame next month.

A table read rumored to be called Heartbreaker: The Musical is set to take place in New York City on June 3. The production is a reworked version of the Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo musical previously called Invincible. The cast will be led by Eden Espinosa, John Cardoza, Madeline Brewer, and T.R. Knight, with Jordan Kai Burnett, Stephen Brower, Zachary Prince, Nicci Claspell, and Dionne Gipson behind closed doors. After the creative direction of the 2023 Wallis production was quietly scrapped, original creator and director Bradley Bredeweg - alongside Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo - has taken back the reins. The trio has returned to the original...

Lucky Season 13 of The Masked Singer came to a thrilling finale Wednesday night, with Pearl claiming the coveted Golden Mask trophy over Boogie Woogie, Coral, and Mad Scientist Monster. After the confetti dropped and panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora made their final guesses, Pearl removed her bejeweled mask to reveal Grammy-winning country star Gretchen Wilson.

"I was absolutely expecting Boogie to win all the way up to the last minute," Wilson tells Gold Derby (watch the video interview above). "We became friends and we were sort of rooting for each other. And the mom in me, not having any idea who was behind that mask, kind of wanted to share it with him. We were in the same group. We had performed side by side pretty much throughout this whole thing. So Pearl and Boogie Woogie really got to know each other as the characters.

In the grand culmination of lucky Season 13, the final four battle it out for the Golden Mask trophy on The Masked Singer! Boogie Woogie, Coral, Mad Scientist Monster, and Pearl take the stage for the last time as panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora make their final guesses for a chance to win their own Golden Ear trophy.

Halestorm have unleashed a new song titled “Darkness Always Wins.” The single offers the first taste of the band’s as-yet-untitled new album, set for release later this year.

“Darkness Always Wins” features Lzzy Hale’s powerhouse vocals on full display, with the song reminiscent of an ’80s power ballad. In fact, there are lyrical nods to the era (intentional or not), with such lines as “running with the shadows” (Pat Benatar) and “fading into black” (Metallica).

Around the 2:30 mark, things get heavier, as Joe Hottinger’s guitar kicks in, followed by a primal scream from Lzzy shortly thereafter.

“‘Darkness Always Wins’ is not a song of hope, nor is it a song of despair,” stated Lzzy of the single. “It is reality. History repeating. Evil prevails and the good depart first. But we are not doomed as long as we persist and keep our fires burning.

When MTV debuted on August 1, 1981, it ironically started with the music video for the Buggles' hit "Video Killed the Radio Star." MTV knew it wasn't killing radio, but if its opening salvo was to address the changing state of pop media, along with its move from radio to television, then it at least knew what function MTV was going to serve moving forward. Those early years of the network were a Wild West of experimentation, with punk bands, New Wave bands, and bizarre novelty acts rushing to fill the suddenly open landscape of 24-hour-a-day music programming. And it seemed that, at the time, MTV would take anything. It had a lot of airtime to fill, and not every band was yet on board the music video wagon.

The first hour of MTV was rounded out by Pat Benatar's "You Better Run," Rod Stewart's "She Won't Dance With Me,...

Sabrina Carpenter surprised fans with a "Please Please Please" collaboration with country music legend Dolly Parton just over a month ago. Carpenter released the track as a part of Short n' Sweet's deluxe version, alongside a new black and white music video with Parton as they drive down the road with a man tied down at the back of the pickup track. However, the collaboration might not have occurred if Sabrina had not complied with Parton's rules — one of which includes refraining from using "dirty words."

The Short n' Sweet deluxe edition includes five additional tracks, such as "15 Minutes," "Couldn't Make It Any Harder," "Busy Woman," "Bad Reviews," and the country version of "Please Please Please" featuring the Queen of Country. In an interview with Knox News, the legendary country musician revealed that she gave Carpenter some conditions before she decided to proceed with the collaboration. “Of course, she...

Marty Callner, an Emmy-nominated director who pioneered the art of the network comedy special but whose legacy were a series of provocative music videos in the Eighties, died March 17 at the age of 78.

Callner’s family confirmed his death to Rolling Stone, adding that he died of natural causes at his home in Malibu.

If you grew up watching MTV or any other music video network in the Eighties, you also grew up with Callner’s work. He directed videos for Whitesnake (“Here I Go Again”), Cher (“If I Could...

Marty Callner, director of dozens of classic MTV-era music videos as well as numerous comedy specials and creator of HBO’s Hard Knocks, has peacefully passed away at his home in Malibu. He died on March 17 of natural causes and surrounded by loved ones, according to his son, Jazz. He was 78.

Callner is a 12-time Emmy nominee and two-time CableACE Award winner. He has also been nominated for three DGA Awards and one MTV Music Video Award.

His career as a director of music videos started with Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Going to Take it,” followed by Pat Benatar’s “We Belong,” both of which saw near-constant play on MTV in their heyday.

What followed were hundreds more, including Cher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time,” a slew of Aerosmith hits including “Cryin’,” “Crazy”, “Amazing,” “Livin’ on the Edge,” “Sweet Emotion,” “Dude Looks Like A Lady” and “Love in an Elevator.

Marty Callner, the 12-time Emmy nominee who created HBO’s Hard Knocks and directed and/or produced music videos and TV specials featuring the likes of Cher, Garth Brooks, Robin Williams, Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock, has died. He was 78.

Callner died Monday at his home in Malibu, his rep Gail Parenteau announced. His son Jazz said it was from natural causes.

The first music videos he directed were ones in 1984 for Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and Pat Benatar’s “We Belong,” and he also handled Cher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time”; Aerosmith’s “Cryin’,” “Crazy,” “Amazing,” “Livin’ on the Edge,” “Sweet Emotion,” “Dude Looks Like a Lady” and “Love in an Elevator”; Whitesnake’s “Here I Go Again,” Poison’s “Every Rose Has a Thorn,” Stevie Nicks’ “Stand Back” and Bon Jovi’s “Lie to Me,” more than 200 in all, most for MTV.

Back in the 1980s, one couldn’t enjoy Dungeons & Dragons, He-Man or even the Care Bears without some dude who looked like a lounge singer that isn’t allowed within 1,000 feet of a public school claiming that it was really the handiwork of Lucifer himself.

But as we’ve mentioned before, the so-called “Satanic Panic” never truly went away. Even in the 21st century, fanatics still routinely accuse innocuous pop-culture properties of colluding with the Prince of Darkness, be it the 2024 Olympics’ opening ceremony, the Minions or the songs of Pat Benatar.

Now, in 2025, that same evangelical hysteria has come for Saturday Night Live.

This past weekend’s Lady Gaga-hosted episode included a sketch in which a group of friends dine out at a Friendly’s family restaurant, which Bowen Yang’s character points out still has “100 locations on the East Coast.” But when one of them lies...

Taking off months after the two-part Christmas special that comprised the last two episodes of season 5, Virgin River season 6 kicked off in the midst of the planning for Mel and Jack’s wedding.

The late, great Bill Paxton had a long and varied film career, beginning with his directing of the "Fish Heads" music video for Barnes & Barnes. He also appeared in the duo's videos for "Love Tap," "Soak It Up," and "Ah Ā," as well as in Pat Benatar's "Shadows of the Night." During this stretch, Paxton also moved into feature films, turning up in genre films like "Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker," and "Mortuary," as well as the cult comedy "Stripes" and the glorious Walter Hill rock musical "Streets of Fire." 1984 saw Paxton's first collaboration with director James Cameron, when the actor appeared in "The Terminator" as a punker that was murdered by a vicious, nameless robot from the future (Arnold Schwarzenegger). Paxton was the punk who had blue spiked hair and a tire-tread tattoo on his face.

Love is a battlefield, as Pat Benatar famously sang, and few know this better than Hollywood’s iconic couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

It seemed like every piece of me was something others could poke at,” Cox-as-Chess-Piece said in her “Masked Singer” voiceover. “And on top of that, I loved Barbie.

Wahlberg stars as Mike, a Jersey construction worker who goes from building bridges to dodging bullets when his high school girlfriend Roxanne (Berry) shows up unexpectedly and brings him into a covert intelligence agency called The Union.

Academy Award winner Halle Berry and Academy Award nominee Mark Wahlberg have officially teamed up for the action-comedy movie The Union on Netflix, and it's one of the biggest new releases in August. The movie stars headline the high octane thriller about long-ago significant others who reunite in the most unexpected way you could ever imagine.

Berry plays Roxanne Hall, a spy for the United States government, while Wahlberg plays the fish out of water plumber Mike who's suddenly recruited into an action packed and risky intelligence mission. The Union features all of the heart, humor, and fast-paced action sequences movie fans could want, and the movie has an excellent soundtrack of catchy songs and thrilling score to set the scene.

When Charly Bliss came out of Brooklyn with their excellent 2017 debut Guppy, they were snappy Nineties alt-rock revivalists, bringing to mind the Breeders, That Dog, and Veruca Salt with their churning riffs, sharp melodies, and frontperson Eva Hendricks’ coffee-achiever pip of a voice. They followed that LP with 2019’s Young Enough, mixing in some synth gloss with their guitar buzz. It’s been five years since their last release (during that time Hendricks relocated to Brisbane, Australia, and her brother Sam, the band’s dummer, became a dad). On Forever,...

Bob Odenkirk stars as Hutch Mansell, a mild-mannered family man whose violent past and deadly skills show themselves after he fails to prevent a home invasion.

The intriguing premise kickstarts a wild ride filled with intense action, dark humor, and catchy songs.

Like Star-Lord in the MCU, Deadpool used pop culture to inspire the name of his teams spaceship.

Canada would also get into the mix with Heavy Metal (which we’ll get to.) But Ralph Bakshi decided to join forces with one of the biggest names in fantasy art for a new entry into...
