At a moment when many artists and songwriters are cashing in on sales of lucrative publishing and recording rights, singer-songwriter Skylar Grey revealed that she was forced to sell her catalog — which includes hits with Eminem, Rihanna, Dr. Dre, and more — to cover the legal fees of a contentious divorce.
In a new interview with Variety, Grey said her life and career were overwhelmed by a divorce and lawsuit that began in 2017 and only resolved last year. “I had to sell my catalog in order to afford the settlement, which...

Halle Berry is showing off her man, even when he's not looking. On Tuesday, Dec. 1, the Oscar winner took to her Instagram Story to share an impromptu video of her sleeping boyfriend, musician Van Hunt.

It seems the Hollywood star is ready to be completely open about her relationship, but the 54-year-old actress did play coy in the beginning. The mother of two split from her boyfriend of five months, Alex Da Kid, back in 2017—following her finalized divorce from Olivier Martinez—and has been very private about her personal life.

Halle Berry, 51, just discovered she was being replaced, either temporarily or permanently, by 23 year old singer Estrella Nouri. Her former romance with 35 year old Alex da Kid ended when she saw the two together. Maybe he got caught, or maybe he didn’t care if he did get caught. (I’m betting on the latter.) Whatever the reason, the numbers just don’t add up. Berry looks great at 51, just as she looked great at 41, 31, and 21. Her problem isn’t her attractiveness but that she has a history of making bad choices when it comes to romance.

When he’s not taking small roles in big blockbusters like The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Dane DeHaan spends most of his time in quirkier fare such as this new drama. He’s locked for the lead in musical Ziggy alongside Rooney Mara.Diesel Schwarze, a former protégé of Baz Luhrmann who worked for the Aussie director on Moulin Rouge and his Broadway version of La Boheme, will call the shots for Ziggy. It follows the rise and fall of a hunchback escape artist who arrives in New York and falls for the fiancée (Mara) of a powerful media mogul. Yeah, that old story…With Electric City providing production support, Schwarze – who honed his skills making ads before finally making the jump to films – will tear a leaf from his old mentor’s book and work with music producer Alex Da Kid to craft a contemporary soundtrack despite the movie’s period trappings.

Australian writer and director Diesel Schwarze has pegged Dane DeHaan and Rooney Mara to star in his upcoming musical Ziggy, which will be set in New York during the jazz age.
Schwarze is best known for being a Baz Luhrmann protege of sorts, having worked with the flashy director on projects such as Moulin Rogue and Luhrmann’s Broadway production of La Boheme. He’s also worked on a series of popular commercials. Ziggy will be the director’s debut feature.
The film’s plot centers around Ziggy (DeHaan), a hunchbacked escape artist who comes to New York in the midst of the late 1920s and the expanding culture of the city. He falls in love with the fiancee (Mara) of a media mogul and things spiral from there.
On the musical side of the project, Alex Da Kid is producing the original soundtrack, with Schwarze, DeHaan and Mara also collaborating to develop the music.

It seems we're in a mini-musical renaissance of sorts. "God Help The Girl" premiered at Sundance and opened recently, "Begin Again" rolled into theaters this summer, Anna Kendrick belted it out in "The Last Five Years" (review here) at Tiff and this holiday season "Annie" will do it blockbuster style. And now another project is on the horizon with two rising young stars looking prove their singing chops. Rooney Mara and Dane DeHaan will lead "Ziggy," in what sounds like a "The Great Gatsby"-esque production. Indeed, Diesel Schwarze—apparently a protegé of Baz Luhrmann—is writing and directing the 1920s set musical about a hunchback (DeHaan) who falls in love with a media mogul (Mara) who is engaged to someone else.

Scott Fitzgerald adaptation, this movie will eschew music from the era, with producer/musician/Grammy nominee Alex Da Kid (Rihanna, Imagine Dragons and Nicki Minaj are.

On “Don’t Look Down,” Skylar Grey’s extremely long-awaited Interscope debut, out today, the singer/songwriter has catchy beats aplenty and often has something poignant to say. The two don’t always intersect, but when they do, they are powerful. Grey has been a fixture in the music industry for nearly 10 years, ever since she signed a publishing deal with Universal as a songwriter at 18. She released an album under her real name, Holly Brook, which tanked, and she has spent the last several years retrenching and working on her songwriting.
