Music has always played an integral part in setting the mood for Nicolas Winding Refn’s films, so the director’s recent announcement that he would be compiling a collection of songs that inspired his 2016 fashion industry horror flick “The Neon Demon” only made sense.

The vinyl album, titled “The Wicked Die Young,” will feature tracks from Dionne Warwick, Giorgio Moroder, Suicide, and the film’s composer Cliff Martinez, as well as Refn’s nephew, Julian Winding, who also contributed to “The Neon Demon.”
Winding’s “When You Want To Hurt Someone” fits perfectly with the electric, bumping mood of the film.

With The Neon Demon now (almost completely) exorcised from Danish auteur Nicolas Winding Refn‘s system, he is already deep into preparing his next project. On the docket for the director is The Avenging Silence, which will apparently sate Refn’s desire to make a “big extravagant action film.” Refn also said over the summer it is loosely inspired by “Dr. No,” Ian Fleming‘s classic Bond novel, as well as William Burrough‘s “Nova Express.” An extended synopsis has now been released for the feature, which hopefully will make its way to screens by 2018.
While he has dipped into action in sections of Drive, Bronson and The Pusher Trilogy, The Avenging Silence sounds like a big step for Refn into pure spy/action genre fare. However, fans of Refn’s stylistic choices should rest assured as he has already stated his protagonist won’t say much. This time, that...

Lynsey de Paul, the British singer-songwriter, saved the lives of three people through organ donations following her death.
Lynsey de Paul's Organs Donated
De Paul died last week after suffering a brain hemorrhage at age 64. Since de Paul had signed up as an organ donor prior to her death, three of her viable organs were able to be delivered to those in need.
“I am extremely proud to say that even in death, she gave three people the chance of life," de Paul’s brother John Rubin told the mourners at her funeral Tuesday, reported The Independent.
De Paul was a star in the UK, becoming the first woman to win an Ivor Novello award. Throughout her prolific career, she had five top 20 hits, including 1972’s “Sugar Me” and “Getting a Drag,” as well as 1973’s “Won’t Somebody Dance With Me.”

Sharon Osbourne. Photograph from PatrickMcMullan.com.I should say right up front that I’m not in any way, shape, or form the target demographic for The Talk, CBS’s answer to The View. But I have watched the morning gabfest—which is hosted by a gaggle of semi-famous actresses and the network president’s wife—and I’ll probably watch it again. I do so solely because Sharon Osbourne is a co-host, and any time Sharon Osbourne is on live TV, there’s a chance somebody is going to get slapped, covered in a hot beverage, or called a whore. This is a woman with a history of sending people Tiffany boxes filled with her own excrement. She also once defecated on Elton John’s driveway and has urinated in British singer-songwriter Lynsey de Paul's suitcase. And don’t get her started with her cursing. She loves the F-word,...
