Charlie Benante is one of metal’s finest drummers, as he’s proven during his long run in his primary band Anthrax and his current stint in Pantera. But could he handle a dance track like the Barbie soundtrack cut “Choose Your Fighter”? That’s what Drumeo set to find out in the latest edition of its “For the First Time” series.
As we’ve seen in past editions of this series featuring Chad Smith (Thirty Seconds to Mars’ “The Kill”), Nandi Bushell (Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It”), and others, drummers are challenged to come up with their own drum parts as they hear a song for the first time. The drum tracks have been taken out of the originals, allowing the drummers to use their skills and imagination to play along to the songs.

Barbie dolls have had a shockingly huge impact on pop music. Perhaps the most famous example is Dua Lipa‘s “Dance the Night” from the soundtrack of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie. Lipa explained what she was trying to accomplish with the song and how she felt making it.
Dua Lipa’s ‘Dance the Night’ is 1 of many songs inspired by Barbie
For a piece of plastic, Barbie is surprisingly musically influential. She inspired Aqua’s classic bubblegum hit “Barbie Girl” and its various derivatives. In addition, Nicki Minaj calls her fans “Barbies” and repeatedly references the doll in her songs and music videos. Avant-garde director Todd Haynes directed Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, a film with no actors other than stop-motion animated Barbie dolls.
Perhaps the doll’s greatest musical moment was Barbie: The Album. The album served as the soundtrack for Gerwig’s Barbie and featured contributions from Minaj,...

Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love a Bad Name” remains one of the most beloved classic rock songs of the 1980s. Bon Jovi’s co-writer said he wrote it in a place that reminded him of an infamous scene from a horror film. Fascinatingly, the lyrics of an earlier Bon Jovi song partially inspired “You Give Love a Bad Name.”
Bon Jovi’s ‘You Give Love a Bad Name’ has a connection to Kiss
Desmond Child is a professional songwriter who became famous for working with classic rock acts like Alice Cooper (“Poison”), Aerosmith (“Dude Looks Like a Lady”), and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (“I Hate Myself for Lovin’ You”), as well as pop singers such as Katy Perry (“Waking Up in Vegas”), Ricky Martin (“Livin’ la Vida Loca”), and Ava Max (“Kings & Queens”). One of his most famous songs is Kiss’ disco/hard rock smash “I Was Made for Lovin’ You.

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 continued on April 12 with the fifteenth episode in RuPaul’s quest to find “America’s next drag superstar.” Previously in episode 14, the top four told stories of their own lives memoir style in podcast interviews.

On Thursday, DJ Tiësto made the difficult decision to cancel his appearance as the official DJ for Super Bowl Lviii, citing a “personal family emergency.” The announcement was made via Tiësto’s social media channels merely three days before the highly anticipated event.
Tiësto shared, “Me and my team have been preparing something truly special for months, but a personal family emergency is forcing me to return home Sunday morning. It was a tough decision to miss the game, but family always comes first. Thank you to the @NFL for the collaboration and looking forward to working with them to deliver something incredible together in the future!”
An NFL representative confirmed to Variety that a replacement for Tiësto is being arranged, although there are no further details at this time.

Cyndi Lauper recalled hearing the Lady Gaga album that changed everything. She also saw some parallels between herself and the “Poker Face” singer. In addition, Lauper was asked what she thought about inspiring Gaga and some of her contemporaries.
Cyndi Lauper said Lady Gaga brought an entire genre back into the fold
During a 2022 interview with Pitchfork, Lauper cited Gaga’s debut album, The Fame, as one of her inspirations. “I really liked the energy of this album,” she explained. “It was young. It was dance. It was different.”
The Fame includes many of Gaga’s biggest hits, including “Just Dance,” “Poker Face, “Paparazzi,” and “LoveGame.” Through The Fame, Gaga established herself as the new Madonna, a pop music giant with a knack for great hooks, scandalous outfits, and over-the-top music videos. Perhaps the greatest legacy of The Fame is that it made dance-pop the preeminent for of popular music for the next few years.

Of course Sza’s Sos was the album I played the most in 2023 — but remember, it came out in December 2022 and I ranked it second on last year’s list of top albums, obviously under Beyoncé’s Renaissance.
Though Sza owned the year, several great albums showed up in 2023. Here are the projects that lived rent free in my home and in my headphones.
1. Victoria Monét, Jaguar II
It’s a beautiful thing when someone working to help others achieve their dreams steps into the limelight. With Jaguar II, that’s Victoria Monét. The songwriter behind hits for Ariana Grande and others has been releasing incredible music for years — check out 2018’s Life After Love, Pt. 2 and 2020’s Jaguar if you’re just arriving at her fan club — but she’s finally at the forefront, and her major label debut album is a masterpiece.

Florence Pugh was hit in the face by a flying object during an appearance at Ccxp 2023 on Sunday.
The actress was onstage with her fellow Dune: Part Two stars when an object was thrown in her direction, seemingly from the audience, and hit her in the face, according to videos circulating online.
In the videos, Pugh can be seen flinching and saying something that may have been “wow” or “ow” before putting her hand to her face and leaning over to pick up the object. It’s unclear what it was that hit her.
Among those joining her on the panel were stars Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya and Austin Butler, as well as writer-director Denis Villeneuve. Chalamet and Butler can be seen expressing surprise in the moment. Zendaya and Villeneuve appear to have missed the moment as they were engaged in conversation.

Over the weekend, a video of Maluma catching a crutch (that’s right, a crutch) midair while performing “Mojando Asientos” went viral. In the video, originally taken on Aug. 31 during a stop in Sacramento, Maluma is seen singing the Feid collab’s lyrics before he spots the flying item coming from the audience and puts out his arm to catch it.
After catching it, Maluma couldn’t help but laugh at what a strange item it was to throw on stage.

Let it go: Idina Menzel is no longer being managed by Scooter Braun.
A source close to the Tony-winning star tells The Hollywood Reporter she parted ways with the talent manager in January after announcing in 2019 that she’d signed with him.
The past few days have been dramatic for Braun: News of Demi Lovato parting ways with the talent manager broke Monday, and last week Puck News reported that Justin Bieber was looking for new management. Shortly after, Braun’s team said the report was false. Rumors about Ariana Grande leaving the manager after a decade bubbled online this week, and J Balvin parted ways with Braun in May.

Demi Lovato has parted ways with talent manager Scooter Braun, with whom she signed in 2019.
Billboard reports that Lovato is seeking new management after splitting with Braun last month. Representatives for the singer and Braun didn’t immediately reply to The Hollywood Reporter’s requests for comment.
Braun’s Sb Projects manages Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Ozuna, Dan + Shay and Ava Max, among others. The news comes days after Puck News reported that Bieber was looking for new management; shortly after the story broke, Braun’s team said the report was false.
J Balvin parted ways with Braun in May, after signing with the manager in 2019.
Under Braun’s direction, Lovato released 2021’s Dancing With the Devil…the Art of Starting Over and 2022’s Holy Fvck. Both albums struggled to launch a hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. She was previously managed by Phil McIntyre of PhilyMack.

According to a statement by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, a concertgoer has filed a police report after being “struck by an item that was thrown from the stage.” The statement did not cite Cardi B, who was involved in the incident, but the address of the report is the same location as the venue where the rapper was performing on July 29.
Cardi B was performing at Drai’s Beach Club in Las Vegas when a member of the crowd threw a drink toward the stage. A video of the event shows Cardi B getting hit with the liquid, causing the rapper to retaliate by throwing her microphone into the audience as security ran into the crowd.

Cardi B was seen in a video throwing her microphone at an audience member who tossed their drink at the rapper onstage.
The clip circulating on social media Saturday shows the musician surprised when the person in the crowd flings liquid from a cup at her while she is performing. In retaliation, Cardi B hurls the microphone back at the person while appearing to yell at them. After the incident, the rapper’s account retweeted the video.
While this isn’t the first time an artist has been struck by objects thrown at them while performing, most have not been seen striking back, but rather walking off the stage to take a moment.
The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Cardi B’s representative for comment.
Throughout the years, musicians have faced similar scenarios, but more recently, there has been an uptick in them being violated while onstage.

With artists like Dua Lipa, Sam Smith, Billie Eilish, Nicki Minaj, and Ice Spice, the Mark Ronson produced Barbie movie soundtrack is poised to be almost as iconic as the movie itself. From danceable pop hits to more melancholic tunes and ballads, the soundtrack is full of songs for a variety of Barbies and Kens.
While Aqua’s classic song “Barbie Girl” unfortunately isn’t on the soundtrack, there are plenty of other bops that make Greta Gerwig’s Barbie Land come to life. Here are all of the songs you can expect to hear on the Barbie soundtrack, including a few words on some of the big standouts:
“Dance the Night” – Dua Lipa

Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” has officially arrived to turn the rest of the summer pink, just like Lizzo’s song that kicks off the film’s soundtrack. The “Barbie” album is available on vinyl, and it includes a collection of some of pop culture’s most-talked-about musical artists, perfect for the contemporary take on Mattel’s 63-year-old toy. Balanced with fun sugary bops and more existential ballads, the “Barbie” soundtrack compliments the fun and more serious themes behind the doll in the movie, directed and co-written by Greta Gerwig.”
One might think that Lady Gaga’s “Plastic Doll” or the Foo Fighters’ “Doll” or even Melanie Martinez’s “Dollhouse” would feature on the soundtrack to a film about plastic dolls, but Mark Ronson recruited quite a roster of talent to write new original songs for the movie.

Barbie is finally in theaters, and along with it is Barbie: The Album, a dance-inducing soundtrack curated by Mark Ronson featuring songs from Lizzo, Charli Xcx, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Haim, Tame Impala, and more. Listen to the album below.
Greta Gerwig’s film opens with Lizzo’s “Pink,” which soundtracks the titular doll’s perfect life in Barbieland and serves as an ode to the color that experienced a shortage thanks to the movie’s production. From there, Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night,” a former Consequence Song of the Week, naturally coincides with a jubilant dance number where the film’s ensemble cast can really shine.
Other highlights from the Barbie soundtrack include Charli Xcx’s “Speed Drive,” Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?,” and, of course, Ryan Gosling’s ballad, “I’m Just Ken.” We wouldn’t want to spoil the movie with any more...

Produced by Mark Ronson, Barbie the Album shines on its own as a fun sonic reimagining of the Barbie storyline with a hint of nostalgia, featuring some of the biggest acts in music.

Lea Salonga had strong words after unsettling video showing unauthorized fans just outside her dressing room seeking photos went viral. “That attitude of entitlement gets a f–k that s–t from me,” Salonga tweeted Sunday in response.
The legendary singer/actress, who plays Imelda Marcos in “Here Lies Love,” was filmed in her personal dressing room after the production.
In the video, Salonga is seen taking photos with authorized fans. But two Filipino fans — one male and one female — lingered outside her door and requested their own photos.
Lea Salonga was not wrong to insist on respecting her personal space in this instance. These “fans” are beyond entitled and rude. But my key takeaway here is there’s no one managing or securing their backstage area?pic.twitter.com/dRuJWY1HdX

There’s a concerning trend currently happening that involves throwing objects at artists on stage. Harry Styles is the latest victim. He was hit in the face by an unknown object during his concert in Vienna, Austria on Saturday July 8.
Harry Styles winces in pain after being hit by an unknown object
In this video, we see Styles (29) strut his signature strut down the stage at Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium only to stop immediately after being pelted by an unknown object near his eye. The “As It Was” singer can be seen wincing in pain as he bends over clutching his face. He then exits the stage.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time Styles has been hit by flying objects while performing. The former One Direction member had to take a brief pause after being hit in the groin last year in Chicago. In Los Angeles, he had Skittles thrown at him.

As a growing list of musicians — including Harry Styles, Drake, Kelsea Ballerini, Pink, Lil Nas X, Bebe Rexha, Ava Max and Blackpink’s Lisa — have been hit onstage by fans throwing objects at them during recent weeks, superstars Billie Eilish and Finneas have given their thoughts on the troubling trend, though Eilish says it’s nothing new.
“I’ve been getting hit onstage with things for like, literally, six years, I don’t know why this is like new,” Eilish told The Hollywood Reporter at the world premiere of Barbie on Sunday in Los Angeles. “People just get excited and it can be dangerous.”
Finneas noted that often fans aren’t trying to actually hit the artist, and they aren’t throwing things like tomatoes and oranges in protest but usually phones to get pictures, though Eilish admits, “It’s absolutely infuriating when you’re up there.”

A string of dangerous attacks on performers on stage has prompted numerous reactions, the majority of which are begging crowds to, you know, maybe not throw things at the person you just dropped $200 (not including fees…) to see.
Over just the past few weeks, the trend has impacted the likes of Bebe Rexha, Drake, Lil Nas X, and Pink, who have all had items thrown at them by audience members while performing concerts.

Harry Styles was hit in the eye by a thrown object while performing Saturday night in Vienna, Austria.
Styles became the latest victim of a trend in which concertgoers throw objects at performers, hoping to create a moment that can be captured on social media and increase clout.
The singer was hit as he was walking across the stage between songs. He bent over, covering his eyes with his hands and wincing in pain.
Styles has been hit with flying objects before. He was struck by someone throwing Skittles during a Los Angeles concert last year, and was hit by a thrown chicken nugget at a New York show.
Artists including Bebe Rexha, Pink, Drake, Kid Cudi, Steve Lacy, Kelsea Ballerini and Ava Max have recently been victimized. And singer Adele last week warned from her Las Vegas stage that she would fight anyone who threw anything at her.
