Annie Clark displays a remarkable facility for change, creating constantly morphing songs contained within a shifting panoply of modes, voices, and styles, cutting delicate, glittering pop with forceful fuzz and raunchy, preening guitar work. A multi-instrumentalist with a history of institutional training and anonymous backing-band work, she retains the guitar as her signature instrument and most potent tool, lacerating otherwise divine music with down-and-dirty grit, eyes heavenward and feet muddy.
The gradual expansion of sounds and textures occurring across her seven solo albums as St. Vincent has been accompanied by an inverse sense of simplification, the fine-tuning of music that’s grown less theatrical and more precise, imagery and language filed down to a sharp point. To celebrate the release of her latest release, All Born Screaming, we’ve ranked all eight of the musician’s albums, including her one-off collaboration with David Byrne.

On the movie screen, Jennifer Lopez is known for being a romantic comedy queen in films like "Maid in Manhattan," "Monster-in-Law," and "Marry Me." However, on Netflix, she appears to be pursuing a wholly different crown and going after action movie and genre glory. Sure, Lopez has made her share of genre thrillers, especially early in her career: "Money Train," "Anaconda," "U Turn," and "Out of Sight," most notably. Yet it's her turn in 2023's "The Mother" that marked her debut as a fully-fledged action star and now she's following that up with a lead performance in a big-budget sci-fi shoot 'em up, if the new trailer for Netflix's "Atlas" is any indication.
As a co-producer as well as star of "Atlas," Lopez has put together a pretty promising team to bring her next Netflix-distributed action venture to life. Alongside co-stars Simu Liu, Sterling K. Brown, and Mark Strong, the...

Dolly Parton, ever the symbol of grace and tact, thinks everyone should move on from Elle King’s drunken Grand Ole Opry tribute performance last month.
During a tribute concert celebrating Dolly Parton’s 78th birthday, Elle King slurred her way through a performance of “Marry Me,” singing “I don’t know the lyrics to these things in this fucking town/ Don’t tell Dolly ‘cus it’s her birthday” and later telling the audience “I’m not even gonna fucking lie… y’all bought tickets for this shit, you ain’t getting your money back.”
Speaking to Extra, Parton addressed the incident, and offered some support. “Elle is really a great artist,” Parton said, “She’s a great girl. And she’s been going through a lot of hard things lately. And she just had a little too much to drink. So let’s just forgive that and forget...

Dolly Parton voiced her support for Elle King after the latter stirred up controversy last month with a seemingly inebriated performance at a special Grand Ole Opry show celebrating Parton’s 78th birthday.
“Elle is a really great artist, she’s a great girl,” Parton said in her first interview about the incident on Extra. “She’s been going through a lot of hard things lately, and she just had a little too much to drink. So let’s forgive that and forget it and move on, cause she felt worse than anybody ever could.

“I don’t know the lyrics to these things in this f–king town,” Elle sang, as seen in TikToks. “Don’t tell Dolly ’cause it’s her birthday.”

While the country legend herself wasn’t present for the Opry Goes Dolly event, other musicians took the stage to perform her hits in tribute — or at least they were supposed to. Singer-songwriter Elle King derailed the performance by appearing onstage in a seemingly inebriated state: At one point, she admitted to being “hammered” and forgot the words to Parton’s songs during her set.

Two decades ago, Jennifer Lopez took the pop zeitgeist by storm with "This is Me...Then," an album that immortalized her as "Jenny From The Block" and featured other hit singles like "All I Have" and "I'm Glad." The album went double platinum, and marked the last time Lopez topped the Billboard charts in the U.S. Lopez has gone through a lot as an artist and a person over the last 20 years; she's released several more albums, starred in films like "Hustlers" and "Marry Me", co-headlined a Super Bowl halftime show, judged "American Idol," and done a Las Vegas residency.
Oh, and she also recently married Ben Affleck, who tabloids had framed as her long lost love ever since the pair ended their first engagement in 2004. We don't usually dig into celebrities' dating lives here at /Film, but in this case, the Affleck of it all matters. A song-and-dance...

“I feel even more relaxed and comfortable, which makes me feel even more beautiful than I have ever felt with someone else,” she told ‘Vogue’.
The ‘Marry Me’ star went on to say that she has come to a stage in life where she loves every part of herself “unapologetically”, reports ‘People’ magazine.
Lopez’s happy comments about her beau come after the stylish pair attended their friend Pia Miller’s birthday celebrations in Los Angeles late last month.

Exclusive: Karsen Liotta (Blackbird), daughter of the late Ray Liotta, is headlining an anthology indie pic that has been handed a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement.
Liotta is leading Sunfish (& Other Stories On Green Lake), the debut feature from short film writer-director Sierra Falconer, alongside Marceline Hugot (Julia & Julie) and Wayne Duvall.
The anthology follows the residents of a small town and the lake that binds them together.

Thanks to the nature of the medium, actors in animation don't have to be in the same room together to share a scene. In most productions, actors' voices are recorded and edited ahead of time, and the animators add their physical acting after the fact. It's typically more common for animated productions to record each of their actors separately, then edit together a vocal track before the animation begins. Indeed, if one has ever seen a behind-the-scenes video of voice actors in a booth, one might see how recording lines can become very tedious as actors will have to repeat single lines over and over again until the director hears a take they like. It's quite rare for actors to play out entire scenes the way they appear in a final animated product.
In certain television shows over the years, however, that practice has been eschewed. Some producers prefer their...

Los Angeles, July 21 (Ians) Hollywood star Ben Affleck found a good samaritan while having a car trouble in Los Angeles. He received help from a stranger when his classic car broke down on the street.
On Wednesday, July 19, the 50-year-old was cruising in his 1969 Cadillac DeVille in Brentwood, CA. with his son Samuel when the car overheated. He noticed the car started smoking as temperatures hovered around 90 at the time, reports aceshowbiz.com.
The ‘Air’ actor/director then pulled over, popped the hood and hit the pavement in search of a gas station to buy coolant. He was seen returning with a container of fluid. As he eyed the engine, looking for the radiator, a passerby stopped by and stood in front of the car to asses the problem under the hood with the actor.
Meanwhile, another fan couldn’t resist taking a selfie with Ben, who was still holding a towel and a container.

Just over a year ago, the concept of “love” got a much-needed PR boost when Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got hitched in Las Vegas. Now, to mark their one-year wedding anniversary, Lopez is teasing a new song about the Sin City nuptials, aptly titled “Midnight Trip to Vegas.”
The song isn’t out just yet, but Lopez did share a 20-second teaser on her website (it’ll cost you an email address to hear it). The clip finds Lopez crooning over some glittering, before-the-drop synths, “What about a midnight trip to Vegas?...

When Mavis (Michelle Buteau) discovers her boyfriend of five years has been unfaithful, what stings almost as much as the betrayal is the narrative she imagines surrounding it. “If someone cheats on Halle Berry, they’re like, ‘Oh my God, how that man cheat on Halle Berry?'” she laments. “But if someone cheats on someone like me, a thick girl with problem areas? They’re like, ‘Oh yeah, I get it.'”
And though her best friend, Khalil (Tone Bell), gently pushes back on that “silly-ass narrative,” Mavis isn’t entirely wrong: Plus-sized women, and indeed all those who fall outside the straight-cis-white-skinny box, do tend to go ignored or sidelined or disrespected in love stories. Netflix’s Survival of the Thickest is a welcome and too-rare exception — a comedy that puts Mavis front and center as a worthy heroine, with mostly enjoyable results.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were seen holding hands as they left a furniture store. The ‘Argo’ actor and his pop-star wife, who reportedly bought a massive mansion some time ago in California, were likely shopping for their new pad.
The couple went all out casual for their shopping, with Affleck donning a flannel-button down over a dark T-shirt and jeans, while Lopez sported a maroon long-sleeved top and loose white pants, carrying a crossbody purse with her hair completely loose.
According to People, “Back in late May, The Wall Street Journal reported that Affleck and Lopez had closed on their new digs, paying about $61 million for the impressive spread.”

If you’d like to see the world’s saddest math equation, just watch “World’s Best.” After being given a lighthearted “equation of me” homework assignment on the first day of school, 12-year-old Prem Patel (Manny Magnus) formulates the following: Prem = (mom + dad) x math + Jerome – dad.” A math whiz still reeling from the loss of his father, Prem proves easy to root for as he navigates adolescence in “7 Days” director Roshan Sethi’s coming-of-age dramedy. But while the Disney+ original ultimately receives a passing grade, it doesn’t exactly ace the assignment the way its protagonist so often does.
Prem’s ostensible nemesis as he prepares for the upcoming Mathlympics competition is fellow math genius Claire (Piper Wallace), who literally haunts his stress dreams and proudly declares that her family “doesn’t celebrate summer” after being asked how she spent the last three months, while his best friend...

A new buddy comedy from Please Don’t Destroy, the writing trio of “Saturday Night Live” fame, will no longer play in theaters. Instead, the untitled movie will premiere exclusively on Peacock, the streaming service owned by NBCUniversal, on Nov. 17.
Ben Marshall, John Higgins and Martin Herlihy, better known as Please Don’t Destroy, wrote the film, which was produced by Judd Apatow and Jimmy Miller. The story centers on three childhood friends who live and work together.

They discover that finding the treasure is actually the easiest part of the adventure.
Universal didn’t give a reason for the move from theaters (it was set to release on Aug. 18) to streaming, but it’s been a tough environment for theatrical comedies.
