When Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves McConaughey step in front of the cameras, it’s always for a very good reason. What cause is better than bringing awareness and raising support for Matthew’s charitable project, Mack, Jack & McConaughey? The annual two-day joint fundraising effort took place in Austin, Texas. Matthew stepped out with his wife of 14 years and their three children, who look much more grown-up than the last time we saw them.

Actor Anne Hathaway has played a variety of roles since her breakthrough film The Princess Diaries. Not too long ago, she joined Sandra Bullock and many other stars for the action thriller Ocean’s 8. She not only enjoyed her time on the feature, but was pleasantly surprised by the sisterhood she experienced there.

Hathaway found herself playing a bad guy in the 2018 feature Ocean’s 8. Similar to its predecessors led by Brad Pitt, Ocean’s 8 featured a team of women brought together for a major bank heist. Hathaway’s character would be the target for the professional thieves, which included the likes of Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, and Rihanna. But although Hathaway wouldn’t be teaming up with the other actors onscreen, there was plenty of solidarity between her and her co-stars behind the scenes.

Actor Winona Ryder met with her frequent collaborator and friend Tim Burton to star in their hit film Beetlejuice. But it took some time before Ryder even realized she was speaking with the director.

Ryder hadn’t done too many movies in the film industry before Beetlejuice. Starting out, she was mostly known for Lucas and Square Dance. But she’d been around the film industry enough to have certain expectations of filmmakers, seeing them as caring but rigid authority figures.
But this was until Ryder met with director Tim Burton, who showed her a different type of filmmaker. In an interview with Collider, she recalled meeting someone in a building while waiting for Burton to show up. And and her newfound acquaintance would have a conversation, with Ryder completely unaware who this person really was.

Dolly Parton’s new song “World on Fire” is about as political as the Queen of Country gets. The song cries against politicians who can’t be trusted and calls for peace across party lines. Let’s take a closer look at the meaning of the song reflected against the country superstar’s past political statements.
Dolly Parton | Rick Kern/FilmMagic
“World on Fire” is on Parton’s new rock album, Rockstar. While she famously stays out of all things political, the song is a reflection on the current state of contentious American politics.
“Liar, liar the world’s on fire/ Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?” The song begins.
The next line is perhaps the closest thing we’ll get to a comment about climate change from the singer: “Fire, fire burning higher/ Still got time to turn it all around.” But it’s not explicit. Just...

Home studios made everything more convenient because artists could make more music from the comfort of their home. While recording studios might have more expensive, state-of-the-art equipment, recording from home allowed artists to produce music faster without scheduling issues. Paul McCartney recorded most of his music with The Beatles at Abbey Road Studios, but the home studio allowed him to produce music more independently, leading to his first solo album, McCartney.

Paul McCartney started playing music when he was a teenager, and he later joined The Quarrymen with John Lennon and George Harrison. They later formed The Beatles, eventually bringing in Ringo Starr.

Daisy Jones & The Six might be about the meteoric rise and fall of a fictional ‘70s rock band, but its musical influences are anything but imaginary. Its author, Taylor Jenkins Reid, was inspired by the lore and chemistry surrounding Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.
Now, in the Amazon Prime limited series of the same name, Daisy Jones weaves the tale of Jones (Riley Keough) and frontman Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin), and how their relationship shapes the dynamics within their band.
Though Daisy Jones epitomizes 1970s culture and music in an all-encompassing, authentic way, some of its marquee actors weren’t fluent in rock ‘n’ roll when they first signed on to their roles. During almost two years of preparation for the show, however, they borrowed inspiration from some of the greatest names in music. In doing so, they pulled off a TV hit and music album that...

Director Chad Stahelski and Keanu Reeves surprised the audience during a Q&a following a special screening of “John Wick: Chapter 4” during the 2023 SXSW Conference and Festival at The Paramount Theater on March 13, 2023 in Austin, Texas.
The LA Times reports of the screening “The marquee outside Austin’s Paramount Theatre may have read “Baba Yaga” before the screening, but the packed, frenzied audience all knew what they were there to see.”

The early reviews have been wildly positive:
Variety: “John Wick: Chapter 4” is 2 hours and 49 minutes long, but it has a story that, if it were told more briskly, could fit into an 83-minute potboiler that you might have seen in a grindhouse in 1977. Yet the way that Chad Stahelski, the series’ stuntman-turned-director, has staged it,...
