Eminem’s ‘Stans’ Doc to Premiere at SXSW London
Image
The Eminem-produced documentary about superfans — aptly titled Stans — will have its world premiere at the opening night of the inaugural SXSW London Screen Festival, taking place this June.

Announced last year, Stans was directed by Steven Leckart and digs into the complicated relationship between artists and their fanbases. Eminem is set to feature prominently in the film, along with some of his closest collaborators and biggest fans. (The title, of course, comes from Em and Dido’s 2000 hit, “Stan,” about an obsessive, delusional fan; in the decades since “stan...

Maude Latour’s fans have described her music as being for people who “had glow-in-the-dark stars on their ceilings” as kids. These days, Latour sees her music as “main-character” pop anthems for dramatic people with intense emotions, like herself.

“It’s for any girly who needs to put their headphones on, and that’s where they go to understand everything,” the 24-year-old dream-pop singer says. “It’s for people who journal. For people who love to feel every feeling and have a strong spectrum of emotions, and aren’t afraid to feel anything extremely.

Devon Sawas Most Underrated Death Is in This Eminem Music Video
Image
Devon Sawa has been a well-known actor for three decades, first coming to prominence in Little Giants, then playing the human version of the titular ghost in Casper. In 1999, however, with the wacky horror-comedy Idle Hands, Sawa started his run as a modern horror icon. That became cemented a year later with his lead role in the genre-changing Final Destination, and now his multiple roles in the wacky TV series Chucky, based on the killer doll from the Child's Play franchise. Sawa's characters have failed to escape death, not just in Final Destination, but in Chucky as well, where he has perished several times as multiple people. Nothing, however, will top Devon Sawa's death in arguably his most attention-getting role. In 2000, Sawa acted in Eminem's music video for his song "Stan," featuring Dido. He's only on screen for a few minutes, and we never hear his voice, but his...

Macaulay Culkin Was First Choice for Eminem’s “Stan” Video, Says Devon Sawa
Image
More than two decades later, it’s hard to imagine anyone but Devon Sawa playing the titular role in the unforgettable music video for Eminem’s 2000 classic, “Stan,” but the actor has revealed Macaulay Culkin was the first choice to star in the visual.

“They went out to Macaulay Culkin first,” Sawa told Entertainment Tonight in a recent interview. “I think that they wanted him, and he wasn’t available, or didn’t want to do it or whatever.”

Thankfully for Sawa, Dr. Dre (who directed the video) was a fan of his work in Final Destination and suggested him instead. “There happened to be somebody in the casting office that knew somebody who was friends with me, and they called me that way… and it ended up working out pretty good,” Sawa explained, adding that the video was “one of the proudest things I’ve been a part of.

Jason Derulo Is an Audacious, Occasionally Ridiculous Pop-r&b Smoothie on ‘Nu King’
Image
You’d be forgiven for being surprised that Jason Derulo hadn’t released an album since 2015’s Everything Is 4. In the nine years since that full-length’s release, Derulo has kept himself in the public eye, whether through his Tiktoks or his steady stream of singles; his fizzy collaboration with the New Zealand producer Jawsh 685 “Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat” even reached No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 2020, thanks in part to a clutch assist from BTS.

That gap helps explain in part the length of Nu King, Derulo’s fifth album.

Eminem to Produce Stans, a Documentary About Superfans

Eminem will co-produce a documentary called Stans about superfans, exploring the relationship between fame and super fandom. The documentary will be a revealing and personal journey into the world of superfandom, focusing on Eminem and his fans. Stans will be developed by Shady Films, with planned distribution from Paramount/MTV, and is set to be released later this year.

Acclaimed rapper Eminem will co-produce a documentary all about superfans, also known as ‘Stans,’ for his own Shady Films. According to a report by Variety, Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem, whose hugely popular song from 2000, Stan, popularized the term ‘Stan’ for “overzealous or maniacal fans of a celebrity or personality,” will help develop the project with planned distribution from Paramount/MTV.

A synopsis for Stans has also now been released, which you can check out below.

Eminem Is Co-Producing a Documentary About Him and His Stans

Eminem is fittingly set to co-produce, and be the partial focus of, a new documentary about obsessive superfans, tentatively (and obviously) titled Stans.

As Variety reports, the new project was directed by Steven Leckart, and uses Eminem and “the fans that worship him” as a launching point for what’s described as a “revealing, edgy, and disarmingly personal journey into the world of superfandom.” Stans is apparently just the working title — named, of course, for Eminem and Dido’s 2000 hit “Stan” about an obsessive, delusional fan — but it’s hard...

Eminem Surprises Crowd At Ed Sheeran Concert In Detroit With ‘Lose Yourself’ Performance
Image
Eminem surprised his hometown crowd by dropping in for Ed Sheeran‘s concert in Detroit Saturday.

The “Slim Shady” rapper showed up to Detroit’s Ford Field — where Sheeran was making the latest stop in his “Mathematics Tour” — for an impromptu performance of “Lose Yourself.”

Sheeran kicked things off by performing the first 30 seconds of the hit track before being joined on stage by the rapper himself for the major surprise.

The duo then wowed the crowd with their own rendition of “Stan”, with Sheeran providing the Dido singing while Eminem delivered his rapped verses as he paced the stage.

“I appreciate you, Detroit,” Eminem said as he and Sheeran were met by a roar of applause after their two-song surprise. “I love you!”

“Detroit. What a moment,” Sheeran captioned a clip from Saturday’s show.

Jason Derulo Speeds Up and Slows Down on New Single ‘Slow Low’

If we were to unpack the songwriting process for Jason Derulo’s latest single, “Slow Low,” it wouldn’t be improbably to assume he started with his own name as the final lyric and worked his way backward until the rest of the song was complete. “I love the way you say Ja-son De-ru-lo, low, low, low, low, low,” closing out the record alongside about a dozen more “lows” is exactly the type of earworm quirk that makes the strongest case for pop radio domination.

The Masked Singer season 9's Medusa, who was revealed to be platinum-selling singer Bishop Briggs, won the Golden Mask trophy after competing against David Archuleta's Macaw, and even though they were both fantastic throughout the season, Medusa deserved her win. As Medusa, Bishop made history on the show as the first-ever contestant to be saved by the panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Nicole Scherzinger, with the Ding Dong Keep It On Bell.

How Eminem helped Ed Sheeran cure his stutter

Los Angeles, May 16 (Ians) Singer Ed Sheeran said that rapping along to Eminem’s 2000 album ‘The Marshall Mathers LP’ “cured” his stutter.

Sheeran, who has since teamed up and performed with the rap icon, has shared that he has the ‘Lose Yourself’ hitmaker, 50, to thank for helping to fix his speech impediment, reports aceshowbiz.com.

“(My uncle) just said to my dad, ‘This guy is the next Bob Dylan. You gotta let him listen.’ And by learning that record – and rapping it back to back to back to back – it cured my stutter,” he recalled when appearing on ‘The Howard Stern Show’ on SiriusXM.

Ed continued: “I think it’s different with Eminem because he is quite reclusive, doesn’t see or meet that many people. I’ve known him now (for) six years and we’ve done three songs together, I’ve played with him twice onstage. He’s...

Is "Swarm"'s Ni'Jah Based on Beyoncé? Here's the Deal
Image
Image Source: YouTube user Prime Video

A thrilling new horror series is coming to Prime Video called "Swarm." The show comes from the minds of Donald Glover and Janine Nabers, who previously worked together on the music-based series "Atlanta." In their latest project, "The Hate U Give" actor Dominique Fishback plays Dre, a young woman who goes to extreme lengths to fuel her obsession with a pop star named Ni'Jah.

Viewers got their first look at Ni'Jah with the arrival of the show's teaser trailer on Feb. 10. Even though "Swarm" hasn't premiered yet, her character has already been creating a huge buzz online thanks to her resemblance to Beyoncé. The show's official trailer, which dropped on Feb. 24, only fueled those theories by seemingly including a few nods to the singer. With this in mind, you may be wondering whether Ni'Jah's character was actually inspired by Beyoncé and just how much...

[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for The Last of Us, Season 1 Episode 8, “When We Are In Need.”]

HBO’s new series The Last of Us premiered to the approval of fans of the video game and viewers who are new to the franchise. Though the thrilling story has just begun, the first episode established the importance of the soundtrack in setting the mood for the post-apocalyptic world.

Created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (the latter also wrote and directed the video game), The Last of Us stars Pedro Pascal as grizzled survivor Joel and Bella Ramsey as a teenage girl named Ellie. Taking place after a fungal plague has ravaged the globe, it centers around Joel fulfilling his task of smuggling Ellie beyond a quarantine zone in Boston.

Depeche Mode’s 1987 hit “Never Let Me Down Again” played a significant role during the series premiere. After Joel and his partner Tess (Anna Torv) set out for their journey with Ellie,...

The Songs and Soundtrack of HBO’s The Last of Us

This article contains spoilers through the most recent episode of The Last of Us.

Fans of The Last of Us know that music is a key part of the video games’ story. The Last of Us Part II shows us how Joel and Ellie use music as a way to connect with and understand each other and even allows the player to strum along via the controller when both characters play guitar. At the beginning of the game, Joel sings Pearl Jam’s “Future Days” to Ellie, and it becomes a song that she uses to remember him later on. Ellie also sings A-ha’s “Take on Me” to her friend and love interest Dina when the two are in Seattle together – a touching moment amidst all the violence in the game.

From the beginning, HBO’s The Last of Us showed us that it was going to continue using...

Warning! This article contains spoilers for The Last of Us episode 1 and the original game.The Last of Us co-showrunner Craig Mazin explains why episode 1 of the HBO series ended with that particular 1980s song. Adapted from the seminal video game of the same name, the premiere of The Last of Us waits until it's nearing the end to bring Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) together. As the series sets up for the next chapter, the reluctant duo and Tess (Anna Torv) work to leave their quarantine zone in Boston in order to head west. Just as they seem to be making progress, and stepping through a broken fence, "Never Let Me Down Again" by Depeche Mode leads viewers into the closing credits.

During an interview on HBO's official podcast for The Last of Us, Mazin spoke about why he and game creator Neil Druckmann chose the 1987 song to end the first episode.

‘The Last of Us’ Review Episode 1: ‘When You’re Lost in the Darkness’ Is How You Start a TV Show
Image
[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “The Last of Us” Episode 1, “When You’re Lost in the Darkness.”]

Let’s take a minute to consider the “Last of Us” prologue, a bit of heavy lifting done so elegantly and tactfully that it takes a few viewings to fully appreciate. Right up top, it addresses the biggest meta element working both for and against the show, the idea that the word “pandemic” has been turbocharged in the years since the original game came out a decade ago. It drops in the idea of cordyceps as a casual possibility rather than underline it with a giant red pen. It cedes the floor to scientists to hint at the turmoil that’s about to happen, rather than have some Fedra lackey do it in retrospect.

It shouldn’t work, having Big Head and Jonathan Carnahan outline the stakes of societal collapse that we’ll see in waves over the course of this entire season.

Watch Eminem Bring Out Ed Sheeran, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler for Career-Spanning Rock Hall Performance
Image
Eminem celebrated his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with a career-spanning medley featuring several special guests.

Clad in a gold chain and black-hooded leather jacket, the rapper opened with brief snippet of his signature 1999 smash, “My Name Is,” before abruptly jumping to 2013’s “Rap God,” with its plethora of lyrical acrobatics.

Eminem then welcomed Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler to the stage, enlisting the frontman to belt the “Dream On” hook that anchors his 2002 Eminem Show track “Sing for the Moment.” The next guest to take the stage?...

Natasha Bedingfield (‘The Masked Singer’ Pepper) unmasked interview: ‘It’s fun to be spicy!’
Image
The Group A semi-finals took place on Wednesday night’s episode of “The Masked Singer,” with two performers unmasking in front of America. After the Jester was revealed to be rock legend Johnny Rotten of The Sex Pistols, Pepper lost her head and was exposed as Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Natasha Bedingfield. Despite impressing the panel with her performance of “Sign of the Times” by Harry Styles, Natasha wasn’t able to take down Bull or Skunk, who will now compete in the Group A finals.

“It’s fun to be spicy,” Natasha revealed during her unmasked interview with host Nick Cannon. “I just want people to feel something so I’m really trying to tell the story.” Throughout her clue packages, Pepper revealed that someone very close to her was going through a difficult time. “My son had brain surgery just before the pandemic,” Natasha explained. “He’s three. We were five weeks in the hospital.

‘The Masked Singer’ Reveals Identities of the Jester and Pepper: Here Are the Stars Under the Masks
Image
Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead if you have not watched “The Masked Singer” Season 6, Episode 9, “Group A Semi-Final,” which aired November 10 on Fox.

Nevermind the bollocks, this will no longer be “Unwritten”: Both the Sex Pistols’ John Lydon – a.k.a. Johnny Rotten — and singer Natasha Bedingfield are the latest celebrities to be revealed on Fox’s “The Masked Singer.” Lydon/Rotten was unmasked as the Jester, while Bedingfield turned out to be Pepper, as seen on the ninth episode of Season 6, “Group A Semi-Final.”

For Jester, no one got Lydon/Rotten right. Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg thought it was Dee Snider. Ken Jeong went with Roger Daltry. Nicole Scherzinger guessed Gene Simmons. Robin Thicke said it was Flea. Guest panelist Will.i.am went with Joe Elliott, lead singer of Def Leppard.

“You’ve only got one life and you must explore all the possibilities and be limited by no one for no reason,...

Todd McCarthy Remembers Hollywood Legend Norman Lloyd
Image
Norman Lloyd was the last one standing. For a long time, it looked like an extended, slow-motion foot-race between Norman and Olivia de Havilland as to who would be the final significant figure from Hollywood’s golden age to pass from Earth to the eternal cinematic firmament. But Olivia left us in July of last year at 104, and now Norman, two years older, has joined all the others who helped make Hollywood what it was. The parade has now definitively, conclusively, gone by.

In a life bracketed by two pandemics, the Spanish flu of 1918-20 and the ongoing Covid onslaught, this Jersey and Brooklyn boy born into modest circumstances first strode onto the New York stage in 1932, was the last surviving member of Orson Welles’ and John Houseman’s Mercury Theater and made his startling film debut in 1942 as the villain who fell from the top of the Statue of...

Peter Cattaneo at an event for Military Wives (2019)
Toronto Film Review: ‘Military Wives’
Peter Cattaneo at an event for Military Wives (2019)
“We don’t have the privilege to be against the war,” tuts a British wife to a peace activist. “We’re married to it.” Technically, she means married to an active-duty soldier, but as far as “Military Wives” director Peter Cattaneo is concerned, there’s little to distinguish the Afghanistan-sent men these left-to-fend-for-themselves ladies love from the machine that deploys them. When their spouses lose communication, each wife on the base gets an impersonal text at the same time, a chorus of pings and buzzes that simultaneously spook every house.

To distract themselves from negative thoughts, the anxious women form their own choir under the leadership of two officers’ wives, Lisa (Sharon Horgan of TV’s “Catastrophe”) and Kate (Kristin Scott Thomas), who jockey to decide whether they’ll sing pop songs or hymns. Lisa is the chillaxed mom of a binge-drinking teen girl (India Ria Amarteifio) who could learn...

Eminem
Pop Singer Alec Benjamin Covers His Idol Eminem
Eminem
Eminem’s “Stan” tells the six-minute tale of an obsessive fan’s downward spiral. With Dido’s “Thank You” sampled in between each anguished verse, it’s one of the Detroit rapper’s heaviest songs. That’s what pop singer Alec Benjamin thought when he first heard it. He covered the song on the most recent episode of Spotify’s Under Cover podcast.

“I went back through all of Eminem’s old records, and when I found ‘Stan’ it gave me this visceral feeling in my gut,” Benjamin said. His...

Hear Dido’s Bold New Break-Up Song ‘Give You Up’
Dido
Dido unveiled an empowering new break-up ballad, “Give You Up,” off her forthcoming LP, Still On My Mind, out March 8th via BMG. “Give You Up” boasts a simple arrangement that finds Dido crooning over steady piano plunks, while an atmospheric blend of backing vocals, white noise and kick drums provides texture and warmth. While a fresh heartbreak definitely anchors the song, the lyrics and Dido’s vocal performance lend the track a delightfully bold edge as she sings, “I found a way to let you go/ It’s gonna rip your heart out.

James Franco in 127 Hours (2010)
Oscar Flashback: Best Original Songs of the early 2010s, including ‘Skyfall,’ ‘Let It Go’
James Franco in 127 Hours (2010)
This article marks Part 25 of the Gold Derby series analyzing 84 years of Best Original Song at the Oscars. Join us as we look back at the timeless tunes recognized in this category, the results of each race and the overall rankings of the winners.

The 2010 Oscar nominees in Best Original Song were:

“Coming Home” from “Country Strong”

“If I Rise” from “127 Hours”

“I See the Light” from “Tangled”

“We Belong Together” from “Toy Story 3”

Won: “We Belong Together” from “Toy Story 3”

Should’ve won: “If I Rise” from “127 Hours”

Best Original Song in 2010 marked one of the most deadly-dull line-ups to ever grace the category, a sleepy, entirely unremarkable batch of four songs that is exceedingly difficult to select a favorite among.

Voters, faced with this anemic foursome, opted to go with Oscar mainstay Randy Newman, awarding him a second Best Original Song prize, this time for “We Belong Together.

The Voice (2011)
‘The Voice’ Top 12: Who was the best (and worst) on Monday’s show? [Poll]
The Voice (2011)
The four coaches on “The Voice” — Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Keys, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton — brought three artists apiece to the Top 12 show on Monday, April 23. The goal for each of these would-be winners is to make it into the top 10 on iTunes by Tuesday morning so that they can reap the benefit of a vote multiplier. The bottom two vote-getters as revealed by host Carson Daly will have to sing for the Instant Save on Tuesday’s show.

Which one of these contestants do you think will win “The Voice” this season? Review the roster of songs they sung on the Top 12 show and then vote in our poll below as to who was the best (and worst).

The Voice Top 12 Performance Recap: Which Singers Rose to the Occasion?
Before we dive into the reviews of Monday’s performances by The Voice’s Top 12, let’s have a moment of silence, why don’t we, for the vocalists that we only wish were still in the contest. For me, it’s Kelsea Johnson, who never just sang a song, she put on a show. For some of you, it’s Wilkes, who’d earned the right to spell his name in all caps; for others, Terrence Cunningham, who’d perhaps gotten weighed down by his big bag of tricks. Whichever coulda-been-a-contender it is that you were missing Monday, you...

Eminem
Coachella Day 3: Eminem Throws Shade at Himself, Cardi B Twerks Through Her Star-Studded Baby Shower
Eminem
Eminem’s mission — and, perhaps foolishly, he did choose to accept it — was to avoid being the butt of any “Anticlimaxchella” headlines, taking the main stage in the desert Beyoncé’s collective-consciousness-reshaping appearance the night before. He had yet another hurdle Sunday at Coachella: making sure he wasn’t even overshadowed by Cardi B’s massively attended pre-sundown set a few hours prior to his.

Mission accomplished, then, as the presidents say, but not without a little suspense as to whether or how he’d get there. In the end, Eminem did it by making Sunday a Dre day.

It’s a truism that isn’t always true that at Coachella, as a headliner, you’re only as good as your guest stars. The Weeknd proved the exception to the rule Friday by winning the crowd with zero cameos. On Saturday, the moments when Beyoncé brought out Jay-z, Solange and Kelly & Michelle dominated the headlines,...

Eminem Performs Throwback Hits Like ‘Stan’ for Three-Song Medley on SNL
Eminem
He might have a new album about to drop, but Eminem is sticking to the fan favorites.

The 45-year-old rapper changed the format during his Saturday Night Live performance this weekend — rather than treating viewers to two separate songs, as is the norm for the show’s musical guests, he appeared only once and played a nearly nine-minute medley of three songs.

Backed by a string section and band, he started with new single “Walk on Water.” The Grammy-winner was accompanied by the song’s writer, Skylar Grey, who played piano and performed the vocals provided by Beyoncé on the official recording.

Miley Cyrus & Adam Sandler Open 'Tonight Show' With Tribute to Las Vegas Victims, Late Night Hosts Weigh In
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (2014)
In the wake of the horrific mass shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday, Jimmy Fallon opened Monday's Tonight Show with an emotional performance from Miley Cyrus.

The Younger Now artist, joined by Adam Sandler on guitar, performed a moving rendition of Dido's "No Freedom," which Cyrus said was in remembrance of the victims of the attack.

Introducing Cyrus' performance, which kicked off her five-day "Miley Week" on the Tonight Show, Fallon addressed the tragic events that unfolded Sunday night at the Route 91 country musical festival, where 59 people were killed and over 520 people injured by a lone gunman with automatic weapons.

"This morning we woke up to the news of another senseless shooting -- this time in Las Vegas," Fallon said. "In the face of tragedies and acts of terror, we need to remember that good still exists in this world. We’re here to entertain you tonight and that’s what we’re going to do."

Now for the longer version, let’s take a careful look at the truly wild (but deceptively simple) phantasmagoria that exploded gorgeously across the world’s television screens on Sunday night:

In South Dakota | We started off in a very normal way (considering what was to come). Bad Coop and Ray have escaped prison, and are driving towards a place called “The Farm” (is it Big Ed’s Gas Farm? Doubtful). Bad Coop still wants that mysterious and vital information from Ray. But...

7 Unforgettable Teen TV Show Theme Songs You Should Still Listen to, Ranked
Show of hands if you spent a lot of college listening to Remy Zero or Paula Cole on your Winamp?

Okay, you can put your hands down. (We can't see them.) But, we can see why you opened up your ears to the aforementioned artists -- they blessed us with two of the best teen TV show theme songs in the history of time.

From "Smallville's" apt "Save Me," to "I Don't Want to Wait" from "Dawson's Creek," we've assembled more memorable themes you shouldn't feel embarrassed adding to your Spotify.

7. "My So-Called Life Theme" From "My So-Called Life" (1994 - 1995)

If high-school angst and nostalgia had theme music, this would be it. No lyrics, just all the feels.

6. 'Where You Lead" From "Gilmore Girls" (2000 - 2007)

The Gilmores arguably have the most "fall as f**k" theme ever made. Which probably explains why we never fast-forward through it during our binge watching sessions.
