Camila Cabello turned heads at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, the film festival founded by actor and director Robert Redford in 1978; it is one of the most coveted and highly regarded independent film festivals in the world. The versatile singer and actress Camila Cabello stars as the girlfriend of the lead character and revealed she didn’t have to audition for the part in a film directed by Chiwetel Ejiofor named “Rob Peace.” The film premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival on January 22. The director of…

In “Harry Clarke,” the protagonist who gives the play its title claims to have worked for the singer Sade. While that’s a big fat fib, he is certainly the smoothest operator you will ever have the pleasure to meet. Played to dapper perfection by Billy Crudup, whose theatrical instincts remain as captivating as his boyish good looks, Clarke is a charmer and a rogue indulging in a full-throttle confessional about sex, lies, and shape-shifting. Who among us hasn’t fantasized about becoming someone new? For a woebegone…

The chief grumble about Pyramid stage sets is about artists who aren’t perceived to have enough hits to play it (Stormzy and Billie Eilish have been the chief recent targets of this opprobrium, each with an undercurrent of prejudice). Of all the bands to play this weekend, the one least burdened by this problem has to be Blondie.It’s easy to forget just how broad and deep their discography goes, until you’re socked again and again with hit after hit; even with 75 minutes to play with there’s no room for Union City Blue,…

Cillian Murphy is ‘sad’ for not having ‘charisma’ of his ‘Peaky Blinders’ character ( Photo Credit – Movie Still ) Actor Cillian Murphy compares fame to “commuting” and thinks it “festishises” everything. The ‘Oppenheimer’ actor is aware that public recognition is part of his job but believes the “best people” are those who act for the love of their work, rather than the trappings of success. The 46-year-old actor – who lives in Dublin, Ireland, said that he would be “intimidated and shaky” if he came face-to-face…

Roman band Måneskin have a thing for bucking trends. They should be one-hit wonders but aren’t. They’re often credited with reviving rock, a moribund genre. Perhaps most remarkably they’ve managed to export Italian pop. Throughout a show that’s both too long and more entertaining than it has any right to be, this bilingual glam rock four-piece gleefully pile tired trope upon antiquated rock cliche – and somehow remain doggedly likable too.The schoolfriends burst into renown in 2021, having won Eurovision with Zitti e…

Well in Paul King’s upcoming movie Wonka, which serves as a prequel to Dahl’s 1964 novel, we get to see the origins of the whimsical chocolatier. With greats like Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp has taken on the role in the past, it’s now Timothée Chalamet‘s turn, and, according to his co-star, he really is a “really delicious artist.” When…

It is the opening night of Jack Harlow’s first headlining European tour, an event the 24-year-old US rapper feels obliged to commemorate in wistful style. “I could never have envisioned coming to Birmingham, England, and selling out a room like this,” he sighs. “3,000 people.” You could suggest this show of humility amounts to laying it on a bit thick, given the size of the venues he’s just packed in the US – he arrives in Brum fresh from the State Farm Arena, Atlanta, which is six times as big – and indeed the fact he’s…

By Jocelyn Noveck | Associated Press Even if, like me, you’ve never been to a Harry Styles concert, it’s hardly difficult to comprehend his huge appeal. He’s … Harry Styles. Also huge, to his many fans: the very news of Styles starring in a movie. (Or, did you happen to miss the circus surrounding his appearance in “Don’t Worry Darling”?) But “huge” is not the word to describe Styles’ performance in “My Policeman,” a deliberately paced, melancholy period piece about love, loss, pain, prejudice and the danger of living…

Image: Variety / Warner Bros. Noah Centineo gave the impression of a lost puppy at the premiere of Black Adam, as the star failed to give any answers that made much sense on the red carpet. Centineo is playing the first live-action version of Atom Smasher, a superhero with the ability to grow and decrease in size, similar to Marvel’s Ant-Man. Seen throughout the trailer in his “big mode,” the character has been teased as a comedic relief as well as being far from the brains of the operation. With some incredibly…

If Liam Gallagher wasn’t the parka-wearing, simian-swaggering rock’n’roll star we know today, who knows what he would have ended up doing? Someone with this much gravitational pull doesn’t make sense outside the context of stage, screen or celebrity. He’s an energy more than a man and one of the most compelling performers the UK has ever produced – even though he barely moves on stage. He bowled into our hearts when Oasis emerged in 1994 and has lived there ever since, sinking pints and pointing at things, declaring that…
