BBR Music Group Lindsay Ell steps back in time for the video for “wAnt me back.”
The video sees the singer transforming into a vintage Hollywood singer, draped in glamorous gowns and fancy accessories, playing a fictionalized version of herself in the duo Eddie and Ell, based on Sonny and Cher.
But underneath the glamour is a woman ready to make her own mark and take the spotlight on her own accord. From a dark, lonely motel room, Eddie watches on a retro TV as Ell makes her solo debut late-night performance of “wAnt me back,” earning her a standing ovation.
“The video captures the story line in which my whole persona changes from an un-confident, held-back woman, to then realizing my own self-power and stepping into it,” Ell describes to video to CMT.
“wAnt me back” was co-written by Lindsay, Kane Brown, Matt McGinn and Lindsay Rimes. It’s the second single off her current album, heart theory.
ABC/Rick Rowell(LOS ANGELES) — Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe believe Natalie Portman let slip a major spoiler about the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder movie.
The actress, who played astrophysicist Dr. Jane Foster in the first two films, will return for the franchise’s fourth installment where she is expected to pick up Mjolnir and transform into the next god of thunder.
However, during a recent interview with Fatherly, the Academy Award winner let slip that Jane has more than one bad guy to defeat.
“She’s going through cancer treatment and is a superhero on the side,” Portman disclosed, sending fans into a frenzy about what that could possibly mean for her character.
In the Mighty Thor comics, where Jane masquerades as a female Thor, the heroine is diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after tragically losing both her husband and son in a car accident.
While she becomes worthy of wielding Mjolnir, it comes at a steep price. Each time she transforms into Thor, the magic coursing through her veins purges all toxins — including the lifesaving chemotherapy treatments — from her body.
Portman first joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2011 and starred in the first and second movies as the love interest of Chris Hemsworth’s Thor.
Portman was not brought on for the franchise’s third installment, Thor: Ragnarok, and her absence was explained in the movie — that the astrophysicist and the god of thunder broke up after hitting too many bumps in the road.
It is unknown if the two’s spark will reignite in the fourth title.
Meanwhile, Tessa Thomspon is set to reprise her role as Valkyrie and teased at San Diego Comic-Con in 2019 that she is on the hunt to “find her queen.”
Thor: Love and Thunder, is slated to hit theaters February 11, 2022.
Theo Wargo/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — The first and only vice presidential debate has come and gone, but people are still obsessing over that fly that landed on Vice President Mike Pence’s head.
Now, all eyes are on Saturday Night Live over whether or not that will be included when the sketch comedy show inevitably parodies Wednesday’s debate in the cold open.
While the show has yet to make any announcements on the matter, fans are already flooding Twitter with their dream casting choice — Jeff Goldblum.
Their reason is that Goldblum starred in the 1986 thriller The Fly, in which he plays a scientist who slowly transforms into a horrifying man/fly hybrid when an experiment goes wrong.
“If SNL doesn’t get Jeff Goldblum to play the fly in this week’s episode, they’re missing a massive opportunity,” Canadian actress Lauren Ash tweeted following the debate’s conclusion, sparking a massive call for action.
People have since inundated SNL with similar requests and beseeched showrunner Lorne Michaels to find a way to include Goldblum in Saturday’s cold open.
Other celebrities joining in the petition were Bob Saget, Darren Criss, Despicable Me producer John Cohen, CNN’s Don Lemon, former Dancing with the Stars host Tom Bergeron and others.
While fans hold their breath in hopes that Goldblum will make a cameo this weekend, Maya Rudolph is already set to reprise her Emmy Award-winning rendition of Senator Kamala Harris on Saturday.
Bill Burr is also set to host the upcoming episode, with Jack White announced as the musical guest after country music star Morgan Wallen was cut from the lineup Wednesday because he broke COVID-19 protocol.
Saturday Night Live, which is in its 46th season, airs Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
Michael Kovac/Getty Images for CORE, formerly J/P HRO(NEW YORK) — Congratulations are in order to Curb Your Enthusiasm‘s Larry David, who tied the knot with Ashley Underwood on Wednesday night.
People confirms that David, 73, quietly exchanged vows with Underwood, whom he met in 2017 thanks to some mutual friends’ expert matchmaking.
David previously spoke to the New York Times in April about their fateful meeting, crediting Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen for bringing them together during the Borat star’s birthday bash.
“We were seated next to each other,” explained the Seinfeld alum. “Much to her surprise I left before dessert. I was doing so well, banter-wise, I didn’t want to risk staying too long and blowing the good impression.”
Underwood served as producer of Cohen’s Who Is America? satire series and came to become a close pal of Fisher’s.
After hitting it off, David and Underwood reportedly moved in together according to a January GQ article, where they continued to grow their family by rescuing animals.
Underwood first brought her cat to live under the same roof and soon opened their hearts to a Australian shepherd puppy that they rescued — naming it Bernie after Senator Bernie Sanders.
David was previously married to Laurie David for 14 years. The two divorced in 2007 and share two daughters, Cazzie, 26 and Romy, 24.
Charley Gallay/Getty Images for Netflix(LOS ANGELES) — Nearly a year after actress Melissa Benoist came out as a survivor of domestic violence in an emotional video, her ex-partner has come forward with accusations of his own.
Blake Jenner, who met Benoist on the set of Glee, said Thursday that he takes full responsibility for his past actions.
“Over the past eleven months, I have been thinking about how to address a personal situation made public in late-2019,” Jenner began the six page confession, adding that he didn’t speak out against the allegations at first “out of shame and fear.”
“I take full responsibility and accountability for the hurt that I inflicted during my relationship with my past partner—emotionally, mentally and yes, physically,” the 28-year-old admitted.
Jenner spoke of an incident Benoist mentioned in her November 2019 video, where she accused him of throwing an iPhone at her face, which “tore my iris, nearly ruptured my eyeball, lacerated my skin and broke my nose.”
Jenner confirmed the incident, saying it transpired after “an argument that escalated” when he “threw my phone aimlessly and it hit my former partner in her face.”
“It’s a moment that I will regret for the rest of my life,” the What/If star furthered before revealing that he, too, is a victim of domestic violence.
“It is important to understand that there was mental, emotional and physical abuse inflicted from both ends,” said Jenner, saying Benoist was jealous and he would turn down job opportunities and professional relationships to please her.
Jenner added that he was “isolated” from his friends and family because Benoist would threaten self-harm. He also accused her of physical assault but declined on elaborating due to trauma.
Jenner and Benoist wed in 2015, but the Supergirl actress filed for divorce the following year.
