Mariah Carey Will Use Her Own Band for Musicares Tribute with Eclectic Roster of Singers Including JHud, Foo Fighters

Mariah Carey’s Musicares night next Friday sounds like an eclectic evening.

Performers include Billy Porter, Foo Fighters, Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, and Laufey, Adam Lambert, Charlie Puth, Kesha, Maggie Rogers, Teddy Swims, and Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless.

Fans who make the two-hours-in-traffic rush hour trip to the LA Convention Center will hear those artists sing Mariah’s hits with Carey’s band as back up. Musicares went this way instead of using their usual musical directors and musicians.

Who will get to sing Mariah’s one and only show stopper, “Vision of Love”? JHud maybe, who’s the power singer in that gang.

Jermaine Dupri will open the night with a special DJ set, likely also of Mariah’s hits and favorite songs. Dupri gave Mariah her biggest album hit with “The Emancipation of Mimi” two decades ago.

What will the Foo Fighters do exactly? That should be the talk of the night.

No mention of Randy Jackson, Q Tip, or other Mariah collaborators such as BoyzIIMen or Trey Lorenz, or even Mariah’s recent singing partner, Ariana Grande.

Tickets for the event — which supports this incredibly important charity — range from $3,000 solo to $80,000 for a Diamond Table that seats 12 and includes an appetizer.

Seriously, Musicares supports musicians who need health care, rehab, living expenses and so many other things. It’s the number 1 charity of the Grammys and needs all the love we can send!

PS Will Mariah sing? Usually the honoree doesn’t perform, although there have been times in the past — particularly with the rock stars — when they do join in.

Why Brooklyn Beckham Prefers His Wife’s Much Wealthier Family Over His Own: And What About Those Peltzes? Remember Chandi Heffner?

Why Brooklyn Beckham Prefers His Wife’s Much Wealthier Family Over His Own: And What About Those Peltzes? Remember Chandi Heffner?

We’ve been dealing with soccer star David Beckham and designer wife Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham for 27 years. They’ve built a life being tabloid fodder. There isn’t a magazine cover they didn’t want to be on. Affairs, fights, you name it.

But you know what? They made it. They’re still together. They have three children. They’ve succeeded financially despite tongues wagging every single day. They deserve some credit for that.

Their mistake: not giving their kids any structure or education. The result is that their eldest, Brooklyn, 26, is a moron. They let him get bought off by an American billionaire, Nelson Peltz, 83, the bad guy in every business story in which he appears. How do you think he became worth $1.7 billion? It wasn’t having to take soccer balls to the head. Or listening to strangers say you couldn’t sing.

Peltz has been married twice — two children from his first marriage, eight with his second wife, Claudia Heffner. Claudia’s sister, “Chandi,” you may recall got herself adopted by billionaire Doris Duke and inherited $65 million for being extremely clever. See a theme in the Heffner family?

Nicola Peltz is number 5 among the Peltz-Heffner 8 children. When she married Brooklyn Beckham in 2022, she was a 28 year old failed actress with two Razzie nominations. He was 23, barely an adult and without portfolio. Their only claim to fame or income was their parents.

Now Brooklyn, who prefers his wife’s wealthier family to his own, has broken with his family. In absurd, immature declaration on Instagram, Brooklyn says his parents were only interested in money, their brand, and criticizing his wife. He doesn’t appreciate that his father is an enormously successful self made athlete, or that his mother began her career as a Spice Girl. Why would he? He’s never had to do a thing.

Brooklyn’s complaints against his parents are not being met with sympathy. Fighting over a wedding dress, or a dance? Keep it yourself, buddy. Mad about your parents’ business? Thank them for it every day. It’s how you were able to glide through life, date models, mix with rich kids, and not have to worry about student debt. You never had to.

And what about Nicola Peltz, the “filmmaker”? Her acting skills have not improved. Playing the victim in this story may only get her another Razzie nom, and maybe a win.

Kids, we have bigger problems right now.

Shocking, Pathetic Trump Letter to Norway: They Wouldn’t Give Him Nobel Peace Prize, So He’ll Take Greenland Instead

Shocking, Pathetic Trump Letter to Norway: They Wouldn’t Give Him Nobel Peace Prize, So He’ll Take Greenland Instead

We are living in some kind of time warp, maybe the Matrix, or in one of Christopher Nolan’s nightmares.

Donald Trump, the president of the United States, sent the most pathetic and shocking message yet of his decade long tenure as the country’s chief miscreant.

He told the president of Norway that because he couldn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize, he’ll take Greenland as a consolation prize. Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Støre confirmed receipt of the letter, which itself was a response to a letter sent to Trump by world leaders asking him to turn down the heat on the Greenland situation.

Trump wrote:

“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

This is insanity, but it’s not new and it won’t be the end of it. Who do we blame for this rip in the public consciousness? MAGA, and the perceived white trash followers of Trump? Or it is the people we thought were rational and yet voted for him a second time, knowing the dangers that would come instantly?

RIP Roger Allers, the Heart of Modern Disney’s Animation Success, Director of “The Lion King, Dies at 76

The man responsible for all of Disney’s modern success died today at 76.

Roger Allers, director of “The Lion King,” has passed away.

Allers was the heart of all the movies we loved starting in the 80s including “Aladdin,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Little Mermaid,” all of it.

To say Allers was beloved is an understatement.

“60 Minutes” Finally Airs Sharyn Alfonsi’s Infamous El Salvador Prison Piece Tonight, While “CBS Sunday Morning” Also Fights Back

CBS is finally airing Sharyn Alfonsi’s banned “60 Minutes” segment tonight

You can still watch it here because two weeks ago, the network had already sent the show to Canadian TV.

New CBS chief Bari Weiss was heavily criticized for pulling the piece about Donald Trump sending Venezuelan prisoners to a torture chamber prison in El Salvador called CECOT.

Reaction inside and outside of CBS News was full of anger, accusing Weiss of carrying Trump’s water, protecting him for her bosses David and Larry Ellison. She said the network had tried to get a comment from the government but had no luck.

CBS News could not be in worse shape right now. Two full weeks of Tony Dokoupil shilling for Weiss on The CBS Evening News have been a disaster.

There are bright spots, however. Margaret Brennan is continuing to push back on “Face the Nation.” And “CBS Sunday Morning” is still resisting censorship. Watch below this morning’s Reckoning for Trump piece. It was excellent. Plus, their civil rights piece was a total rebuke of Trump.

At least, they’re trying.

23 Years Later, “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” is a Chilling Box Office Dud Cash Grab Sequel to Last Spring’s Revival

23 Years Later, “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” is a Chilling Box Office Dud Cash Grab Sequel to Last Spring’s Revival

So I guess even Ralph Fiennes has to make a living. Good movies like “Conclave” aren’t going to pay the bills.

Which brings us to “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,” which flopped this weekend with just $13 million.

Frankly, Sony was lucky it made that much.

The fourth installment since 2003 of a horror movie series originally directed by Danny Boyle (Oscar winner for “Slumdog Millionaire”), “Bone Temple” was seen by the public as a cash grab, and they ignored it.

Indeed, it’s only been seven months since the first part of “28 Years Later,” the preceding chapter which was actually directed by Boyle. This one, also starring Fiennes and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, was guided by Nia DaCosta, who should be making better movies than her resume reflects.

Fans have a ‘bone’ to pick with Boyle and writer Alex Garland. Sony should probably have just put this on VOD and called it a day.

As for this weekend’s box office, ugly weather meant there wasn’t going to be a lot of action outside of places where theaters could be reached by foot. The total for 33 films was $73.7 million.

Look at this trailer. Fiennes is hilarious. You can only imagine what howling went on between takes.

Kennedy Center Loses “Wicked” “West Side Story” as Composer Stephen Schwartz Will Host Washington Opera Gala Elsewhere (Video)

Kennedy Center Loses “Wicked” “West Side Story” as Composer Stephen Schwartz Will Host Washington Opera Gala Elsewhere (Video)

The Trump Kennedy Center’s loss is everyone else’s gain. (See video below.)

In the last weeks, “Wicked” composer said he wouldn’t host the Kennedy Center’s annual gala this spring. He pulled out because of the Trump takeover of the Center.

Then the Washington National Opera announced it was leaving the Kennedy Center immediately. Their spring performances will be at different theatres in the area, mostly at Lisner Auditorium at George Washington University. That’s where the Opera started its life decades ago.

Now comes news that Schwartz will host the Opera’s fundraiser with a performance of “West Side Story.” If he brings just a couple of “Wicked” stars to help him, this evening will be very “Popular.” It will defy gravity. And make millions for the Opera.

The Trump Kennedy Center will be totally upstaged, if they care at all at this point. Tricky Dick Richard Grenell, who lies like a rug, has wrecked the Kennedy Center single-handedly. He won’t be able to show his mug in town when the Schwartz “West Side Story” event happens.

Talk about blowing all your opportunities at once! This is what they probably missed: Cynthia Erivo, of “Wicked” fame, Singing “Somewhere” from “West Side Story:”

Trump Announces Tariffs On All Countries Supporting Greenland: “This is untenable” until “complete and total purchase”

Trump Announces Tariffs On All Countries Supporting Greenland: “This is untenable” until “complete and total purchase”

Donald Trump is going to start World War III.

His response to European countries sending support to Greenland today is to double down on his threats.

He says until the complete and total purchase of Greenland from Denmark is completed he’ll be placing tariffs on any country that will help them.

Is this what you MAGA America First people wanted? To make NATO and the EU our enemies?

This is what happens to a brain fed by Big Macs for 50 years.

Meanwhile, there are massive protests in Greenland and Denmark. The world is laughing at him.

“We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that! Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake. On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable. Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question. Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland. The United States has been trying to do this transaction for over 150 years. Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused. Now, because of The Golden Dome, and Modern Day Weapons Systems, both Offensive and Defensive, the need to ACQUIRE is especially important. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are currently being spent on Security Programs having to do with “The Dome,” including for the possible protection of Canada, and this very brilliant, but highly complex system can only work at its maximum potential and efficiency, because of angles, metes, and bounds, if this Land is included in it. The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these Countries that have put so much at risk, despite all that we have done for them, including maximum protection, over so many decades. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Bloody Hell! Broadway’s “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” Biggest Show of the Week Thanks to Tom Felton’s Draco Malfoy

The truth is, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” was never a huge hit.

When the two part play opened in March 2018 — after a hit run in London’s West End — the show was hot. But it was also long — three hours more including a food break.

In 2021, after the pandemic, the plays were combined into something more reasonable. But box office was never off the charts.

Then came Tom Felton. The actor who played scheming Draco Malfoy oined the cast a few weeks ago, before the holidays.

Now, with families returned to their homes from vacations, guess what’s the hottest ticket in town?

“Cursed Child” was number 1 last among all Broadway shows, doubling its best days in one fell swoop.

It beat everything on the Rialto including “Hamilton” (now back to normal without Leslie Odom Jr.), “The Lion King,” and “Wicked.”

Felton’s presence should be a lesson to everyone on Broadway. He’s the draw. So many shows don’t have one, and either sputter along or close. He’s such a magnet for ticket buyer that Saturday night’s performance is sold, so is Sunday’s and the rest have very few openings.

I hope the producers are paying him for kicking up the jams! Felton is staying through May.

If only they could Daniel Radcliffe to pop in from his new play, or Emma Watson or Rupert Grint to come for a couple of weeks.
