Stevie Wonder will perform two of his watershed 1970s albums, “Talking Book” and “Innervisions,” back to back for the 21st edition of his annual House Full of Toys benefit concert, slated to take place Dec. 10 at Staples Center.
“Even though House Full of Toys will be celebrating 21 years,” Wonder said in a statement, "the joy of giving in the spirit of song will make this night such pleasured fun for the old and young."
The idea to perform two albums follows previous holiday benefit shows in 2013 and 2014, when he focused on his 1976 album “Songs in the Key of Life,” performing the double album in its entirety with numerous guests, including several who performed on the album four decades earlier.
Documentary filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering — the duo behind the Oscar-nominated “The Invisible War,” about rape in the U.S. military, and “The Hunting Ground,” a look at sex abuse on college campuses — say they have wanted for years to make a film about sexual assault in Hollywood but couldn’t get cooperation from the entertainment industry.
Then allegations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein opened the floodgates. And now their Untitled Hollywood Sexual Assault Documentary project has the green light.
“Everyone was frightened about what would happen to their careers, and worried about whether they would be sued. Distributors were unwilling to fund or release the film, and few people were willing to talk on the record,” producer Ziering said in a news release Monday. “Then the Weinstein stories broke, and it's like an invisible dam collapsed.”
Ewan McGregor and his wife of 22 years have quietly called it quits, and now he looks to have something romantic going now with "Fargo" costar Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
The "Moulin Rouge" actor was photographed "snogging" Winstead in a busy London cafe, the Sun reported Sunday. After an hour in "deep conversation," they zipped away on his motorcycle, the paper said.
Earlier this month, according to E! News, the two were spotted getting affectionate at a hotel and spa. They had arrived at the English countryside establishment via helicopter, the outlet said.
Oscar winners George Clooney and Matt Damon on Monday further condemned producer Harvey Weinstein, their former mentor who had a hand in launching their careers in the 1990s.
The "Suburbicon" director and the film's star have been sucked into the Weinstein narrative since the scandal broke earlier this month. On Monday, instead of promoting their film during an interview on "Good Morning America," they spoke of the scandal that has dominated Hollywood and of the mogul's reputation as a bully.
Clooney previously said he was unaware of Weinstein's misconduct, and Damon has been accused of gutting an earlier investigation of Weinstein, which he denied.
Justin Timberlake will return to the Super Bowl halftime show next year, the NFL announced Sunday night, 14 years after one of the pop star's most notorious live performances on that same stage. Blame it on that "wardrobe malfunction."
Timberlake and his performance partner, Janet Jackson shocked -- shocked! -- an estimated 140 million people with an incident that became known as "Nipplegate."
At the conclusion of their well-choreographed 2004 performance of Timberlake's "Rock Your Body," the singer reached over to Jackson's chest and tore off a section of clothing to reveal her breast.
Looking frail but still speaking with characteristic wit and charisma, the iconic singer Loretta Lynn surprised an excited crowd on Sunday night in Nashville when she appeared at the Country Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
The singer, who suffered a stroke in May, presented at the behest of superstar Alan Jackson, who was inducted. By tradition, new inductees are introduced by fellow Hall of Fame members; Lynn, 85, is part of that club.
"The first time I ever met Alan, he looked like a scared little boy," Lynn said after being led to the podium by Jackson. "He was practicing backstage, going through his songs, and I remember I looked at him and said, 'You're going to be one of the greatest singers in country music.' He hasn't let me down."
The official trailer for "Phantom Thread," possibly the final role of Daniel Day-Lewis' acting career, debuted Monday. The three-time Oscar winner announced back in June that he will be retiring.
From famed writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson ("There Will Be Blood," "Magnolia"), "Phantom Thread" is set in the fashion world of 1950s London. Day-Lewis plays a dressmaker commissioned to design for members of high society and the royal family and who falls in love with a waitress, played by Vicky Krieps. Lesley Manville and Camilla Rutherford also star.
Due out on Christmas, the film is one of the final award-season contenders to be released. Will Day-Lewis nab another nomination come Oscars time? Perhaps.
Sam Smith seems to regret a couple of things in his life. But neither of them has to do with his sexuality. Or his singing.
It's the tattoos. The ones on his biceps that say "Alone" and "Honesty."
“They’re dramatic — I don’t know why I got them,” the 25-year-old singer said in a new interview with London's Sunday Times, reportedly rolling his eyes a tad as he continued. “I look back on them now and I cringe. But I have to respect what I was feeling in the moment, you know?”
John Stamos is engaged to model-actress Caitlin McHugh.
The "Fuller House" star popped the question at Disneyland, sharing the news on Twitter and Instagram on Sunday.
"I asked...she said yes! ...And we lived happily ever after," Stamos wrote, captioning an illustration of himself and his lady love embracing in front of Sleeping Beauty's castle.
Fear is our strongest emotion. Not even love — fear is the No. 1 thing that tends to make us do the best thing. I don't think we're looking for the fall, but we just want to go to the edge.
