Sérgio Mendes, the Brazilian bossa nova legend who became a Grammy-winning international star with his band Brasil ’66, has died at the age of 83.
The musician’s family confirmed he died September 5 in a statement they shared with Rolling Stone on Friday, adding that Mendes “passed away peacefully” in Los Angeles surrounded by his family.
“Mendes last performed in November 2023 to sold out and wildly enthusiastic houses in Paris, London and Barcelona. For the last several months, his health had been challenged by the effects of long-term Covid,” the family’s statement said.

The year 2023 was an embarrassment of riches when it came to animation. Movies like “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” became massive commercial successes and crossed the billion-dollar mark at the box office, while movies like “Nimona” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” hit big with audiences and critics. There were films that boasted wildly different aesthetics and showed the power of the animation medium, like “Blue Giant” and “The First Slam Dunk.” We also saw the return of legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki, who gave us his most personal film to date with “The Boy and the Heron.”
That’s a lot for 2024 to live up to — luckily, it seems the year will bring with it a healthy mix of big studio franchises and more grown-up animated fare. There are still big and highly anticipated animated movies slated to be released in 2024. “Inside Out 2,” Pixar’s mega-blockbuster Oscar favorite,...

WME’s Brandt Joel met by Zoom with agents in the motion picture and talent departments to apologize for and clarify the comment that he posted and then removed from an unofficial WME WhatsApp group chat, a source with knowledge of the situation tells The Hollywood Reporter.
Joel found himself at the center of scandal Sunday, when his incendiary text made headlines following news that Israel’s military said it has recovered the bodies of six hostages killed by Hamas militants in Gaza.

In a group chat showing solidarity with Israel that contains WME employees, but that is not officially affiliated with the company, the news of the death of the hostages was being discussed after someone shared President Joe Biden’s official statement on the incident.

The Lonely Island made a name for themselves on "Saturday Night Live" by ushering in the SNL Digital Short era of the late night sketch comedy series. Once the breakout music video for "Lazy Sunday" became one of the earliest viral videos on YouTube (long before "SNL" sketches were officially uploaded to the video website), The Lonely Island felt the pressure of delivering hilarious pre-recorded bits almost every single week during their time on the show.
It should comes no surprise that their most successful bits were various music videos, often featuring rap or R&b tunes with a comedic touch. This ranges from raunchy holiday fare like "D**k in a Box" with Justin Timberlake to the movie-fueled "Jack Sparrow" featuring "Office Space" punchline Michael Bolton as a major cinephile, the latter of which is Andy Samberg's favorite, as confirmed in a recent episode of The Lonely Island and...

“You take it apart, then you put it back together piece by piece.” That, in a nutshell, is why Pharrell Williams was inspired to do his biopic completely in the animated world of Lego.
Turning the standard music-oriented documentary life story on its head, Williams enlisted Oscar and Grammy-winning documentarian Morgan Neville to direct and conceive a format that would bring the uber-creative life of Williams to a happy place cinematically. Surprisingly, it brings a freshness and originality to a docu format that makes it feel all new again.
In a way that actually is standard in biopics, the basic bricks of Williams’ life are told in linear fashion with the first part taking place as he was growing up in the projects of Virginia Beach. A little bit of an outcast, not quite blending in with other kids, but finally finding his mojo,...

Addressing a packed house at Telluride Film Festival’s flagship Herzog Theater, “Piece by Piece” director Morgan Neville described his Pharrell Williams’ documentary as an “ode to the power of magical thinking.” Told entirely through the unique framing device of LEGOs, Williams’ life story makes an effective case for the American Dream. The elements are all there: teenage Williams is a dreamer with a unique musical gift that comes at the expense of his schoolwork. Raw talent never being enough, some lucky breaks and long hours spent hustling are critical additional ingredients to getting Williams out of the projects of Virginia Beach and into a life of luxury — a life in which sharing studio space with Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake is the norm.
"Piece by Piece” is at its best in this opening act where a young Williams finds his creative voice and races to share it with the world.

Legendary musicians Pharrell Williams and Robbie Williams — unrelated despite their shared surname — are each choosing to tell their life stories through unconventional mediums.
Pharrell’s story is brought to life in Focus Features’ “Piece by Piece,” directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville, known for his documentary “20 Feet from Stardom.” The film uses Lego bricks to depict Pharrell’s early life, focusing on his roots in Virginia Beach and his rise to fame as one half of the hip-hop and R&b production duo The Neptunes.
Pharrell was on the ground in Colorado for the Patron’s Brunch on Friday morning, mingling with high-profile guests, including some AMPAS voters. “I’m so excited to be at a festival that doesn’t show many animated movies, but they chose mine,” he told Variety.

The daughter of former Today Show host Matt Lauer was involved in a traffic incident over the Fourth of July weekend in the Hamptons, according to local law enforcement officials.
Romy Lauer, 20, reportedly lost control of her Jeep Wrangler in the early hours of July 5, striking a fence and a sign on North Sea Mecox Road in Southampton. The college student allegedly left the scene before authorities arrived, but her vehicle’s license plate was found at the site of the collision.
Southampton Town police were alerted to the incident around 4 a.m. by a resident who heard a loud noise and called 911, fearing someone might be injured. Upon arrival, officers found property damage but no vehicle or driver present.

David Fincher has firmly established himself as a master of blending art and commerce. It’s especially impressive considering his output has been uniformly dark, moody and disturbing, with flashes of wit and satire thrown in. Let’s take a look back at all 12 of his films, ranked worst to best.
Born in 1962, Fincher cut his teeth at special effects house Industrial Light and Magic, working on such films as “Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi” (1983) and “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” (1984). He left to pursue a career in directing, making his mark with a commercial for the American Cancer Society that depicted a fetus smoking a cigarette. He co-founded Propaganda Films, a production house for music videos and commercials that employed future filmmakers Spike Jonze, Michael Bay, Antoine Fuqua, Alex Proyas, Mark Romanek, Zach Snyder and Gore Verbinski.

With 20-plus cast members and a rotating guest roster featuring the world’s biggest movie and musical stars, Saturday Night Live has to be the most expensive comedy show in history. Lorne Michaels alone pulls in about $30 million to $40 million per year, justifiable because he also has to deal with Jimmy Fallon on a nightly basis. But what about the other economics of SNL?
Here are five money facts about the ways Saturday Night Live goes ka-ching…
1 First-Year Cast Members Make Six Figures
Does landing a job on Saturday Night Live put you into the penthouse? Not necessarily. First-year cast members get $7,000 an episode, says Cosmopolitan. Since a typical season has 21 episodes, that works out to a cool $147,000. That ain’t bad, but living near 30 Rock isn’t cheap either. Ask former cast members like David Spade and Dana Carvey, who regularly complain on their podcast that their early salaries barely paid the rent.

Jonah Hill is an exceptional actor and he has proven time and again that he could easily transition between comedy and drama roles. Hill also wore the director’s hat a few times and is currently directing Keanu Reeves in the film Outcome. However, he may have lost a role in one critically acclaimed superhero film.

Hill was reportedly considered for a villain role in Matt Reeves’ The Batman. While it is not exactly known which role he was approached for, reports suggested that he could’ve either played Oswald Cobblepot aka Penguin or Edward Nashton aka The Riddler.

Deadpool & Wolverine has topped the box office for the last month. It’s the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, both domestically and internationally, and the reviews and audience reaction have been top-shelf all around. Yet, as everyone who knows anything about superhero movies knows, Ryan Reynolds had a few hiccups before making it into the big time with the Deadpool franchise. There was X-Men: Origins – Wolverine, in which he played The Merc With a Mouth for the first time, but an even bigger disaster was his time as Hal Jordan in Green Lantern.
The year was 2011, and at the time Green Lantern was considered one of the hottest properties in the business. Every up-and-coming actor of the era, including Bradley Cooper, Jared Leto and even Justin Timberlake coveted that role. Ryan Reynolds nabbed it, but it proved to be a mixed blessing.

Katy Perry will be honored by MTV with this year’s VMAs Video Vanguard Award, the network announced Thursday, with the singer also set for a performance slot on the Sept. 11 Video Music Awards telecast.
She’s set to perform some of her greatest hits — with her new single, “Lifetimes,” which came out last week, likely to be part of any medley. Her high-profile appearance will come nine days before Perry releases her new album, “143,” on Sept. 20.
Perry’s appearance will mark her first time on the show since 2017, when she collaborated with Nicki Minaj for that telecast’s finale.
“Katy is a musical powerhouse and true pop culture icon,” said Bruce Gillmer, the president of music, music talent, programming and events for Paramount and chief content officer, music, for Paramount+. “With her game-changing creative vision, she has become a global phenomenon and taken over the world’s biggest stages.

Sixteen years after topping the charts with “I Kissed a Girl,” Katy Perry is set to receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.
The pop star will also perform at the event, taking place Sept. 11 at Ubs Arena in Belmont Park, New York. The show was originally supposed to air live on Sept. 10 but changed to avoid airing opposite the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
Perry, who has won five VMAs, was last at the awards show in 2017, when she hosted and performed. Since 2008, she has released 14 Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including nine No. 1s. Her sophomore album, Teenage Dream, launched five No. 1 singles — matching a record set by Jackson in 1987 with Bad.

Following his arrest in New York for drunk driving, Justin Timberlake‘s license has been suspended in the state.
Timberlake pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge in June. On Friday, he appeared virtually at his court hearing, where his lawyer, Edward Burke Jr., withdrew a previous motion to dismiss the case. The next hearing is set for Aug. 9.
In addition, Sag Harbor Village Justice Carl Irace threatened the defense with a gag order due to their claim that the singer “was not intoxicated.”

Britney Spears has secured a production deal with Universal Pictures to make a movie based on her tell-all memoir, “The Woman In Me.”

Filmmaker Jon M. Chu will direct, and Marc Platt will produce. Universal also scored the music rights to Britney’s music. Now, speculation is swirling over who will play the pop princess in the film.
A few names have been thrown around, and some have suggested they were the right woman for the job. Britney has the final say on who is chosen to step into her overpriced, stylish shoes.
Actress Millie Bobbie Brown is interested in playing the “Toxic” singer. She said that if she were ever to star in a biopic, she’d want it to be about Britney Spears.

‘The Woman In Me’ is coming to the screen, and it’s no wonder it was speedily swooped up, especially since it had a wonderful and bestselling run when it hit the shelves last year.
The memoir provided a deeper insight into the Princess of Pop’s life that the press and the public aren’t particularly acquainted with. However, one of its most explosive reveal was that Britney had been pregnant for Justin Timberlake and the latter had pressured her into aborting the baby.

The best pop and classic rock stars are outrageous. At their peaks, Marilyn Manson and Lady Gaga were both outrageous. Despite this, the “Beautiful People” star had some major criticisms of Gaga’s music. In contrast, Gaga seems to have a positive view of Manson.

During a 2012 interview with Digital Spy, Manson revealed he liked the “Bad Romance” singer‘s image more than her music. “I like the general idea of what she’s about,” the “Lunchbox” singer said. “I have a hard time liking her music. It’s not my style of music that I like, and I like a lot of music that is in that vein.”

Much has been made about the recently released Deadpool & Wolverine. And while some fans may complain about the lack of a ‘plot,’ which is hilarious, considering the history of the franchise thus far, the Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds-starrer did have enough fan service and humor to ensure that it was a positive experience for all moviegoers.

Pop superstar Justin Timberlake was not feeling the summer love this week, appearing in court (albeit virtually) to enter a not guilty plea at his Dwi hearing stemming from his June 18th arrest.
Taking to the Sag Harbor, New York court remotely, Justin Timberlake made his case with few words but has, along with his attorney, maintained that he is not guilty of any wrongdoing as he faces a drunk driving misdemeanor. As of now, however, his license has been suspended in the state of New York.
Even though Justin Timberlake claims he only had one martini – something corroborated by a bartender at the American Hotel, the establishment Timberlake spent time with friends at the night of his arrest – he was in fact put in custody and given a mugshot. As one officer stated, Justin Timberlake “had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests.
