While backstage at the Ivor Novello Awards in London on Thursday, Lana Del Rey detailed which of her songs was written — and rejected — for a James Bond film.
“I mean, how has that not happened yet?” Del Rey replied when asked by BBC if she would consider writing a theme song for the franchise. The Born to Die singer then sang the chorus to her track “24” — which was one of the 14 songs that appeared on her 2015 album, Honeymoon — before adding, “I wrote that for them.”

Garth Brooks has taken his country music to Las Vegas and isn’t going anywhere else any time soon.
Back in May, the “Friends in Low Places” singer began his concert residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and will be there until December 16. He’ll be taking a break for a few months after but is scheduled to return to the Colosseum on April 18 next year.
Last week, Brooks performed at the opening of his new bar in Nashville, Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk.
“This town has been amazing to me,” Brooks said during his performance in Nashville. “When this [opportunity] popped up, the thought was, does Garth Brooks owe Nashville? You bet Garth Brooks owes Nashville.”
He then went on to explain the reason he named his bar after his hit song.
“You can like Garth Brooks. You can not like Garth Brooks. Either way,...

Ringo Starr wrote songs for The Beatles that were not-starters. Ringo compared his rejected songs to Sam Smith’s “Stay with Me” for a very specific reason. The “You’re Sixteen” singer also discussed his evolution as a songwriter — and why he prefers to work with co-writers.
Ringo Starr wrote songs for The Beatles that felt familiar a la Sam Smith’s ‘Stay with Me’
With some notable exceptions like “Octopus’s Garden” and “Don’t Pass Me By,” very few of The Beatles’ songs were written or co-written by Ringo. During a 2015 interview with Goldmine, Ringo discussed why some of the tunes he wrote for the Fab Four garnered ridicule. “Well, you know it was very difficult at the beginning for me as a writer because we did have Lennon and McCartney,” he said.
“I used to write these songs and they would roll on the floor laughing because...

One of the biggest album rollouts in recent history, Taylor Swift’s full transition to pop music in 2014 left a lasting impact on the music sphere and, most importantly, on her career. At the Grammys, the album and its songs contended for two straight years and showed the world just how powerful Swift is.

“1989’s” first trip to the Grammys was with its lead single, “Shake It Off.” The song was released on August 19, 2014, less than a month and a half before that year’s eligibility deadline.

John Legend recently met his doppelganger, 34-year-old Talakai, during an episode of The Voice.
Legend, a veteran of the show, was pleasantly surprised when he turned his chair around to find a familiar face looking back at him.
Legend even cracked a smile as he watched the performance.
Talakai, for his part, is enjoying the extra attention.
He told local TV station Kcra 3 that it felt like a family member was looking back at him, and had to “contain” himself to get through the whole song.
Talakai said that even at school and work, people would tell he looked like Legend, even having people sing some of his songs as he walked by.
They were not the only ones who noticed the resemblance.
Once all the other judges saw him clearly, they had to remark on the uncanny similarities.
Gwen Stefani, one of the four judges, laughed and said the resemblance was “crazy.

The Voice coaches can never be quite sure what to expect when they turn their chairs, but John Legend certainly didn’t anticipate seeing his doppelgänger on stage during Monday’s (October 2) episode of the NBC competition series. Talakai, a 34-year-old singer from Sacramento, California, impressed the coaches with his rendition of Sam Smith‘s “Stay With Me,” earning chair turns from both Legend and country music icon Reba McEntire. But it was Talakai’s look that surprised the judges more than anything. “Wait until you see his face,” Legend told fellow coaches Gwen Stefani and Niall Horan as their chairs turned at the end of the performance. “I’m looking at myself,” he added. “Like a taller, more handsome version of myself.” Talakai was clearly expecting the response, joking, “What’s up, twin!” “You know, I’m on the internet… a lot of people will send me pictures of...

This article contains spoilers for The Changeling
In 1999, Irish director Neil Jordan released a movie called In Dreams. Having already found success with The Crying Game and Interview with the Vampire, people were curious about this new Robert Downey Jr.-led psychological thriller based on the book Doll’s Eyes by Bari Wood (stay with me). The film, which tells the story of what happens after a little girl is suddenly murdered, ended up being critically panned and a massive flop at the box office. Later, Jordan would say that one of the main issues with his film was that audiences really struggle to get over the death of a young child in the first act.
Apple TV+‘s The Changeling is just the latest project to challenge audiences with a similar kind of horror, except it asks even more of viewers by spinning a folklore mystery around the reason for a child’s death,...

Welcome back to American Idol! Last night the men delivered a round of mostly lackluster performances, but as you know, girls just want to have fun (and sing Adele, probably), so I had high hopes for tonight. Ryan Seacrest kicks things off doing a little cheer because Scotty McCreery is contractually obligated to return to the show in a few weeks. He then introduces the judges: Jennifer Lopez! Randy Jackson! The "controversial" Steven Tyler, who seems mostly asleep until someone mentions a girl in a short skirt. He's like a pervy dormouse.
