The Strokes invited Regina Spektor on-stage for a rare rendition of their 2004 collaboration “Modern Girls and Old Fashion Men” at Queens, New York’s Forest Hills Stadium on Saturday.
The reunion was not only notable for its meeting of two cherished hometown acts, but also the live revival of the duet that first appeared as a b-side on the 2004 “Reptilia” single. The Strokes and Spektor last performed the song in-concert at New York’s The Theater at Madison Square Garden in 2003.
“It only took 20 years but look who showed up,” The Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas teased as Spektor stepped up to the mic. “They love you, kid.”
Spektor answered the crowd’s uproarious approval by shouting, “My favorite band in my favorite city!” Then, gauging their palpable anticipation, Casablancas added, “Y’all know the song” before diving in. Watch the homecoming performance of “Modern Girls and Old Fashion Men” below.

Howard Bragman, a decades-long veteran of entertainment PR, has died of leukemia, according to a journal entry by his boyfriend Mike Maimone. He was 66.
“The enormity of our shared loss can’t be overstated — Howard was a constant in so many of our lives and the brightest star in his wide constellation of friends and family,” Maimone wrote.
The news, which initially arrived via social media tributes late on Saturday, Feb. 11, comes as a shock to the community of journalists and public relations professionals who worked closely with Bragman in his many different capacities. Bragman worked in PR for over 40 years, co-founding the firm Bnc (Bragman Nyman Cafarelli), which was later merged with Pmk, and then his own Fifteen Minutes PR and, later in life, Labrea Media.
His clients have included Cameron Diaz, Paula Abdul, Stevie Wonder, Sharon Osbourne, Monica Lewinsky, Joe Manganiello, Anna Kendrick, Terrence Howard, Ricki Lake and Melissa Rivers,...

Shrinking is not a show about a therapist in mourning.
After Shrinking Season 1 Episode 3, we can safely say It's a show about three therapists in mourning.
Coping with significant losses is the common thematic thread tying Jimmy, Paul, and Gaby's parallel stories together.
How each of them mourns says a lot about their respective characters.
Jimmy is our protagonist. He tries to act like a superhero with his rebel therapy tactics as his superpowers. Look no further than how he saved Alan's date during the opening. However, he's not a hero.
Paul is a hero. Even without Paul saying he faces the truth like a hero with the conviction only Harrison Ford could deliver -- we know he's a hero because of his actions.
Julie: Do you remember that we had a talk about eating healthier.
Paul: I do. I ignored it.

The best parts of HBO Max’s latest documentary, “15 Minutes of Shame” have less to do with shaming and much, much more to do with the innate failures of humanity, which in effect leave viewers in a place of relative hopelessness — a shrug emoji made manifest.
Executive produced by Monica Lewinsky and Max Joseph, the film attempts to give insight into the way that the internet and social media feed into the modern methods of public shaming and the rise of “cancel culture.” Those groundswells of judgement are so vitriolic and widespread that it sometimes results in ordinary people, whether they made a mistake or were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Lewinsky knows all about going from an anonymous citizen to the center of a scandal resonating on a global stage overnight. And Joseph is no stranger to internet culture, as a filmmaker best known...

This article contains spoilers for Saving Private Ryan.
Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan (1998) is known for a number of things: the gut-wrenching, visceral terror of its battle scenes (especially the opening landing at Omaha Beach), the shocking way in which bodies are torn to pieces during the course of those battles, the attention to period detail, and a powerful performance by Tom Hanks that rates as one of his finest.
But one thing that the film may not be as widely recognized for is the lineup of young actors who played members of Capt. John Miller’s (Hanks) squad, or soldiers they met along the way as they searched throughout Normandy for the missing Pvt. James Francis Ryan. From Matt Damon to Vin Diesel, Spielberg recruited relatively new faces who were all, in one way or another, either launching their careers outright or just starting to make their mark on Hollywood.

We know so much about Demi Lovato, yet less than we thought. The 28-year-old Disney actress turned pop star seemed as open about her addiction and personal troubles as any public figure, yet her new four-part YouTube series, Demi Lovato: Dancing With the Devil (the third documentary about her life in which she’s had a part), reveals that much of her candor was a facade concealing even deeper trauma.

Demi Lovato may have not-so-subtly referenced her ex-fiancé Max Ehrich in her latest breakup track. At least, that's what her fans think after the singer, who released her album Dancing With the Devil..the Art of Starting Over on April 2, included some very specific lyrics in her song "15 Minutes." While the former Disney Channel star sings of kicking an ex to the curb with lyrics like "Pack your stuff, you can come get it / Ain't goodbye it's good riddance," it's the line "Praying in Malibu, how could you?" during the bridge that has fans convinced that, yes, this song is definitely about Max.

As art critic-cum-biographer Blake Gopnik lays out in this brilliantly granular, not un-critical 976 page hagiography, the man born Andrew Warhola branded “pop art” in many forms: painting, sculpture, photography, filmmaking, sound recording, TV broadcasting, magazine and book publishing, advertising, media appearances, persona creation. His influence still blares on all those fronts, but especially in pop music’s hydrant-flow of brand-building: the social media blitzing, the mixtape-dropping, the meme-embargoing, the cameos, the clothing lines, the media empires.

An Orlando pet shelter is betting on a bit of magic to help boost adoption rates for its toughest customers – i.e. bully breeds, including pit bulls. Much like students who don the sorting hat and await assignment into the proper Hogwarts house in the enduringly popular Harry Potter franchise (which turned 20 this year), Pet Alliance of Orlando is sorting dogs into four sections of its “Pawgwarts” kennels, based upon their personalities, abilities and interests rather than their breeds. It’s working like a charm.

President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Marc Kasowitz, is facing blowback after he threatened an anonymous critic who asked him to resign in a series of profane Wednesday night emails. According to a ProPublica report, a retired public relations professional (who does not know him) emailed Kasowitz at about 9:30 p.m. Et Wednesday with the subject line “Resign Now.” Kasowitz replied five minutes later with a common euphemism for self-love. Fifteen minutes later, Kasowitz followed up with another email, telling the stranger that “I’m on you now,” and warning him to “Watch your back, b—-.” Also Read: Trump Lawyer Responds to Comey.

Visions of Remote Control marathons filled our heads along with the chance to finally see if lost classics like The State, The Ben Stiller Show, The Tom Green Show and The Andy Milonakis Show lived up to our memories.

Netflix continues to have such a vast array of acquired TV series from around the world that it’s difficult to know what to give a chance. While British shows like “Peaky Blinders” have recognizable faces and don’t require translation, it’s a bit more daunting to commit to a foreign-language series. That requires time and reading before you even know if it’s worth a binge.

Fifteen minutes into The End of the Lonely Island, I nearly gave up on the movie. I simply couldn't follow what was happening. A man and a woman are walking on a deserted island. He's telling her about his time spent there as a child and partway through his story, the movie flashes forward to the same woman on the same island but apparently years later. She's talking to someone in an earpiece and trying to find something on the island as quickly as possible but there's no indication of what she's looking for but more importantly, why she's in such a hurry to find it.
The two stories don't seem connected and what's more, there's no indication of why they're important. We know nothing about any of the characters and yet... there's something compelling about the story. In truth, t [Continued ...]...

We had done our “due diligence,” as they say in the corporate world. We put out a casting call, reviewed hundreds of Backstage profiles, scheduled 20 auditions, printed sign-in sheets, enlisted help for the auditions, and set up a camera. We had a plan.
Well, Alison, the director, had a plan. She’s one of the most meticulous people I have ever met, a meticulousness that compensated for our lack of experience. Neither of us had created a web series before, and neither of us had held auditions before.
The morning of our first audition, we were ready. We checked our schedule and reviewed the profile of the first auditioner. Five minutes late. That’s Ok. We worked some cushion into our schedule. Ten minutes late. Fifteen minutes late. Totally fine. Our first no-show. That’s part of the process.
We moved on to the profile of our second auditioner. Five minutes late.

Taking over the baton from Logan and Patty Jenkins’ standalone Wonder Woman movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has been elected the current cover star of Empire Magazine, and the outlet has today peeled back the curtain on not one, not two, but three all-new images for James Gunn’s spacefaring sequel.
Featuring Star-Lord and the rest of the gang, not to mention new looks at Yondu (Michael Rooker) and Ego, the Living Planet (Kurt Russell) in his humanoid form, the high-res pics are enough to stoke excitement for Guardians 2 without necessarily divulging any spoiler-sensitive material – and we wouldn’t have it any other way. One thing that will no doubt fuel conversation online is the inclusion of Karen Gillan’s Nebula, who can be seen rubbing shoulders with the Guardians and, perhaps most interesting of all, her estranged sister Gamora (Zoe Saldana) up above.

It all started with an escalator ride — and escalated from there.
On June 16, 2015, Donald Trump descended a golden escalator to announce his presidential bid at his own Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York City.
The strains of “Rockin’ in the Free World” by Neil Young filled the air as the business mogul made his grand escalator entrance before taking the stage after an introduction by his daughter Ivanka Trump.
It was Day 1 of an unorthodox presidential bid that would go on to upend the Gop and roil the nation.
And there I was at the bottom of the escalator.

An autistic teen brings home an ancient curse in a film that starts with promise and ends with portals, talismans and chanting – none of which are very scary
There’s a commentary that runs in my head as I watch a wide release horror picture not screened for critics prior to appearing in theaters. The supernatural-meets-suburbia cheapie The Darkness was one such occasion. Five minutes in: hey, this isn’t that bad. Ten minutes in: I’ve seen far worse movies, there was no need to hide this. Fifteen minutes in: oh, uh, I think I see where this is headed. Twenty minutes in: I sure hope Kevin Bacon got a lot of money, it’s a miracle he’s able to say these lines without regurgitating his lunch.

The organizers behind the Ithaca International Film Festival in upstate New York have released promotional artwork from comic and video game industry veteran Steve Ellis (The Only Living Boy, Green Lantern Corps). Now in its fourth year, Iifff celebrates the weird and the wild in International cinema. The annual program includes a competition of genre films from around the world as well as a retrospective showcase of cult classics and genre heavyweights. The art from Ellis, who has created the poster every year since the festival’s inception, is always one of the highlights of the buildup to the event in November.
This year’s Iifff retrospective promises to be the most skin-crawling yet with Organic Horror: Obsessions with Body Alterations.

All eyes were on Raheem Sterling as Manchester City travelled to the Hawthorns but it was the familiar talent of Yaya Toure that inspired the away side to a dominate victory.
The Ivorian’s shot after just nine minutes got Manuel Pellegrini’s side off to a roaring start as it glanced off David Silva and trundled past Boaz Myhill.
Fifteen minutes later and the 32-year-old had grabbed his second, nonchalantly curling a shot into the top corner to extend City’s lead.
Skipper, Vincent Kompany put the game out of the Baggies reach and headed in from a corner as City delivered an early statement of Premier League title intent.
Debutant Raheem Sterling missed the chance to score on his debut after breaking clear on goal only to see his shot saved by Myhill.
West Brom’s only real chance fell to James Morrison who...

Bobbi Kristina died after her boyfriend gave her a toxic cocktail, and when she fell into unconsciousness he put her face down in the bathtub ... so claims the lawyer who represents Bobbi Kristina's estate. The attorney filed a $40 million lawsuit against Nick Gordon in June, but court documents just filed in the case outline shocking allegations that, if true, would clearly amount to homicide. The lawyer says at 6 Am on January 31st -- hours before...

Hemal Trivedi and Mohammed Ali Naqvi’s profile of controversial school head Maulana Abdul Aziz, which has premiered at the Tribeca film festival, reflects the religious changes – and stasis – in Pakistan
Fifteen minutes into your first film theory class, and you’ll learn how no documentary can ever be objective. There’s point of view in every cut. What I like about Among the Believers, a portrait of radical Islam in Pakistan, is how the first two-thirds of the movie strives to remain as balanced as possible.
Directors Hemal Trivedi and Mohammed Ali Naqvi profileMaulana Abdul Aziz, the controversial head of the chain of madrassas led by Islamabad’s Red Mosque, and do their best to counter accusations of brainwashing and implicit support of violent criminal acts. The Red Mosque takes in an orphaned child. Their coffers aid a sick, elderly man. This is the evidence that is often presented by groups accused of terrorism.

A Florida woman was arrested last week for allegedly drowning a two-week old Doberman mix puppy in a toilet in a Nebraska airport so she could catch a flight. Grand Rapids Police Captain Dean Elliott tells People that 56-year-old Cynthia V. Anderson of Edgewater, Florida arrived at the Central Nebraska Regional Airport last Thursday with two adult Yorkie terriers and three young puppies but was denied access to her flights because the puppies were too young and not in crates. Elliott says Anderson gave two of the puppies to her parents and returned to the airport the following afternoon with...

Enjoying a healthy festival run after its premiere at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, and a tour that brought it to SXSW and Toronto, Adam Wingard’s The Guest arrives on Blu-ray shortly after scoring a nod for Best Editing at the Independent Spirit Awards (though it’s unfortunate there wasn’t any room for some other awards love, such as for cinematography for Dan Stevens). Making their return to distribution, the Picturehouse folks grossed north of a quarter of a million at the box office, and the film had releases in multiple regions across the globe.
After contributing to several anthology films, including the V/H/S films and The ABCs of Death, director Wingard and screenwriter Simon Barrett return to their first feature since 2011’s You’re Next, (a film that finally hit theaters to warm reception in 2013) with The Guest.

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by the filmmakers. **there are minor spoilers here. Director: Hank Braxtan. Writers: Dan Sinclair, Hank Braxtan, Arielle Brachfeld, and Natalie Victoria. Cast: Natalie Victoria, Arielle Brachfeld, Stephanie Greco and Lacy Fisher. Chemical Peel is a smallish horror feature. This title was released earlier in the year (Oct. 14th, 2014), through Lions Gate Entertainment. A film about a toxic chemical spill, Chemical Peel spends most of its ninety-five minute runtime with bickering characters. Several so-called friends, at a bachelorette party, are more toxic than the mist outside. Shot almost entirely inside one location, the film is an exercise in what not to do in a catastrophe. Characters act in cowardly and idiotic ways, which makes Chemical Peel a difficult watch. A group of girls gather for a night of drinking and celebrating. Fifteen minutes into the story, it is finally revealed that the girls have come together.

You feel completely in control at the beginning of your first Yoga class: settling comfortably into that Lotus and feeling quite the Zen deity. Fifteen minutes later – you’re in an awkward side plank with arms vibrating faster than a bulleting train’s windows; a seductive line of sweat accruing on your upper lip. Yup, it really isn’t as easy as it looks.
As a Yoga lover, you’re part of an ancient and beautiful stream of tradition that originated in India around 5000 years ago; although you’d never think it from Hollywood’s portrayal: which usually shows perverted male instructors drooling over women’s bums while they’re busy checking out their toes in Downward Dog poses.
What they never show, of course, are those flexible faun-like ladies accidentally letting a long, abrupt fart slip through their Yoga pants. We’re a twisted bunch, us...

There’s no denying the cultural magnitude of Tobe Hooper’s 1974 grindhouse classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Inspiring legions of seminal directors, as well as providing the framework for a growing horde of derivative copycats (not to mention a gaggle of flaccid sequels, prequels, and rehashes), it’s now reached its 40th year anniversary. Necessitating a half-year transfer process, the brand new 4k transfer was showcased at genre fests such as 2014′s SXSW & Fantasia Film Fests and a prestige re-showing at Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight. Though decades of horror films have refurbished Hooper’s methods to such a degree that the more infamous episodes of violence may seem less horrific by today’s torture porn standards, the film has lost none of its ambient potency. In all the glorious reconstitutions, no one has been able to outdo the gritty, grainy, and bizarre levels of unease accomplished here.
By now, we all know the well-tread story.

Very few of Andy Warhol's anointed "superstars" managed a long shelf-life. They simply were too wild, too beautiful, and too damned. There were the poor little rich girl Edie Sedgwick, the transgender icon Candy Darling, and the husky, glacial, heroin-swamped charm of Nico. All gone, along with a cavalcade of others; too soon and in the 20th century. Ultra Violet survived into this one, and originally arrived as a somebody already in the anybody everybody world of The Factory.
Often compared to Vivien Leigh, she was a striking beauty, a privileged French girl from a chateau via a host of reform schools. A muse to the surrealist eccentric Salvador Dali, she was also his muse, assistant, and confidante, although theirs was a decidedly platonic affair begun after she'd entranced him after delivering him a present in New York from a mutual friend.

As a document of the early 1990s, The Lawnmower Man serves as a colourful time capsule. Aside from its big shirts, tight jeans and unaccountably buoyant hair, it's also a snapshot of the era's technology and fascination for virtual reality.
At a time when the media was gripped by images of people wearing cumbersome headsets and gloves pawing eerily at the empty air in front of them, virtual reality was widely considered to be the emerging technology which could transform life as we know it. And while this may yet come to pass - Oculus Rift has recently seen Vr back in the news - we're no nearer to having our daily lives transformed by it than we were 20 years ago.

An analogy: Glee is like a box of chocolates. A box of chocolates you find sitting unattended at a bus station, and which you open because you have low blood sugar and a totally unfounded faith in humanity. And with each bite you wonder: will this be filled with razor blades, planted by someone who apparently wants to punish chocolate lovers? Will it be stuffed with so much beauty and heart and truth that it makes you cry with its sweetness? Or is it perhaps laced with LSD, which will cause you to hallucinate puppet versions of your friends, pirouetting madly to old school Janet Jackson? This week’s episode of Glee was that last kind of chocolate: sure it was a cold-blooded attempt to move singles on iTunes, held together by only the thinnest of narrative threads, but at least it wasn’t strawberry cream.
Okay, so: we open in the choir room.

George Clooney may come off as a grump when he says he doesn't approve of Twitter, but as the actor elaborates in an interview with Esquire, he avoids the social media site for his own good.
Clooney told the magazine that he didn't understand why someone famous would join Twitter, since it only draws more attention to celebrities already in the spotlight. But there's another downfall, he explained.
"So one drunken night, you come home and you've had two too many drinks and you're watching TV and somebody pisses you off, and you go 'Ehhhhh' and fight back," Clooney said. He continued:
And you go to sleep, and you wake up in the morning and your career is over. Or you're an a--hole. Or all the things you might think in the quiet of your drunken evening are suddenly blasted around the entire world before you wake up. I mean,...

Two weeks ago, Lynne Spalding, 57, had been losing weight and appeared weak. So on Sept. 19, the mother of two was admitted into the San Francisco General Hospital about 10 blocks from her home. Spalding was treated for an infection, given medication and checked by nurses regularly. Then, two days later, her bed was empty. She had simply disappeared. "One would think a hospital bed is one of the safest places you could be," Spalding family spokesman David Perry tells People. "Lynne is an upbeat, lively person and her family's at a complete loss over her disappearance." Perry says the hospital so...

Slap on some lipstick and raise those expectations. Get in loser, we're going out.
Sure, you've gone out before, but this night is different. The world is your oyster. Time for the most epic evening ever.
Your friends pick a new bar to try. You arrive in a pack, hobbling in heels. For once, the music is bearable! The dance floor is calling your name.
It's all fun and games until that one creep won't stop grinding on you.
You try the usual grab-a-friend move but there's no rescue. Panicked, you give him the death stare and retreat.
Ahh, a free bar stool. Bring on the specials menu!
You're perusing drink choices when an overconfident guy swoops in.
He introduces himself. Another John. Whatever, he seems nice enough. John asks to buy you a drink after establishing your mutual love for "Harry Potter." He even breaks the ice!

Here's how it all shook down. This past week, my boys and I were staying at my mother-in-law's house in San Jose. Yes, I'm divorced, but I can't call her my "ex mother-in-law." It sounds too weird and we love each other and love the boys and it's all so good and fine and it was a great week. So that's that.
