Garth Brooks has disinvited America’s Got Talent finalist Michael Ketterer from appearing at his October concert at Notre Dame Stadium in Indiana following the arrest of the aspiring singer for domestic violence. Ketterer performed a song that Brooks had written especially for him during the September 19th finale of America’s Got Talent and was asked by Brooks to sing at his Notre Dame engagement.

“We’re going to suit you up with a band. We’re going to put you out in front of 85,000 of the sweetest people...

When Garth Brooks said “All hell has broken loose in our life because of Simon Cowell” during NBC’s Season 13 finale of “America’s Got Talent,” he meant it in a good way. At least, we think. Cowell had previously tasked the country music superstar to write a song for his Golden Buzzer act, father of six Michael Ketterer, for the “Agt” Finals, and Brooks just delivered big league. Ketterer sang Brooks’ original song titled “The Courage To Love” during the two-hour ender and earned a wild standing ovation from the Dolby Theatre crowd.

“Garth, if you’re watching, I cannot tell you how much I love you for what you just did for this man,” Simon said over the wild shouting from the stuio audience.

America’s Got Talent wrapped its 13th season on Wednesday with a two-hour extravaganza that paired the remaining 10 acts with some of the biggest names (and tongues) in entertainment. Following Kiss’ high-energy opening performance of “Detroit Rock City,” host Tyra Banks introduced a series of duets and encores from Season 13 favorites.

Glennis Grace was the first to take the stage, singing the Florida-Georgia Line portion of “Meant to Be” with Bebe Rexha after the singer’s own performance of her new single “I’m a Mess.” This was followed by a slightly less conventional collaboration as comedian Samuel J. Comroe...

After 21 episodes of “America’s Got Talent” that ran for a whopping 36 hours, we are just 120 minutes away from finding out who won season 13. The 10 finalists performed live on September 18 and America voted overnight for their favorite. The winner of “Agt” 2018 will be revealed at the end of a two-hour results show that will see all the finalists take to stage of the Dolby Theater one last time.

Based on our exclusive Gold Derby predictions, the top two acts to beat heading into the season finale were teenage singing sensation Courtney Hadwin and sleight-of-hand magician Shin Lim. Did one of them win the $1 million grand prize and a chance to headline at a Las Vegas casino?

Has 'slavery' finally arrived as a 'safe' subject for major motion picture production? If so, why now?

The ordeal of Solomon Northup, a literate, skilled free man of colour from New York who was kidnapped in Washington, D.C., and sold as a slave in the deep south state of Louisiana, is the focus of the 2013 film 12 Years a Slave, directed by Steve McQueen and based on Northup’s 1853 published autobiographical account. The film, which actually is a remake of Gordon Park’s 1984 television movie, Solomon Northrop’s Odyssey, is a masterful depiction of antebellum southern slave life and, like Haile Gerima’s 1993 brilliant Sankofa, Stan Lathan’s 1982 A House Divided: Denmark Vesey’s Rebellion and his 1987 Uncle Tom’s Cabin, along with the indomitable classic TV miniseries Roots of 1977, and Jonathan Demme’s Beloved (1998), 12 Years a Slave represents a decided evolution of African American slave narration presented on celluloid.
