Jamie Foxx is heading back to Netflix to star in and produce a new comedy series, inspired by Foxx’s relationship with his daughter Corinne, who is also serving as producer. The series is titled Dad Stop Embarrassing Me, and will costar Foxx’s fellow In Living Color alum David Alan Grier and teenage actress Kyla-Drew. Bentley Kyle Evans, who co-created Foxx’s 1990s WB sitcom, will serve as showrunner.

Dad Stop Embarrassing Me will mark Foxx’s first regular role on a scripted series since The Jamie Foxx Show‘s conclusion in 2001. He currently hosts the Fox game show Beat Shazam.  Foxx will next be seen — or rather, heard — as the main character in Pixar’s upcoming film Soul, currently scheduled for a November release.

Lucasfilm and The Walt Disney Company have revealed that the second season of the smash hit series “The Mandalorian” will begin streaming on Disney+ this October 30.

The Mandalorian debuted in November 2019 as the first live-action “Star Wars” series, and quickly became a fan favorite. The first season is nominated for 15 Emmy Awards, including outstanding drama series.

Dwayne Johnson and his family are recovering after having tested positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19.) Johnson revealed on social media Wednesday that he, his wife Lauren Hashian, and their daughters Jasmine, 4, and Tiana, 2, all have been sick with the virus, with the actor and his wife being particularly unwell. Thankfully, they are all now feeling much better. 

Johnson said in his video message on Instagram.: “I wanted to give you guys a little helpful update on things that have been going on on my end for the past two-and-a-half to three weeks now. So the update is this: my wife Lauren as well as my two baby girls and myself, we have all tested positive for COVID-19. I could tell you that this has been one of the most challenging and difficult things we have ever had to endure as a family, and for me, too, personally as well.”

Johnson said that he and his family contracted the contagious respiratory virus from family friends, who he said are “devastated” that they unwittingly spread the virus.  He added that while his daughters “bounced back” from the virus pretty quickly, he and Lauren “had a rough go at it.”   He also urged his fans to exercise extreme caution when interacting with others to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Metallica Becomes First Band With No. 1 Rock Songs In Four Different Decades

tmpf0af73e7-f876-493d-bcaf-3698ed0c134d-jpg

Metallica has become the first band to have a No. 1 song on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs airplay chart in four different decades.

Metallica’s “All Within My Hands,” off their S&M2 concert album alongside the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, recently hit No. 1 on the charts, brining their total of No. 1 Mainstream Rock Songs to 10.  This makes Metallica one of just six rock acts to have breached the double digit mark, along with Shinedown, Three Days Grace, Van Halen, Disturbed and Tom Petty.

Metallica are the only group to have a No. 1 song in four different decades — the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s. Metallica’s No. 1 Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs are: Until it Sleeps (1996); Hero of the Day (1996); Turn the Page (1998); No Leaf Clover (2000); I Disappear (2000); The Day That Never Comes (2008); Cyanide (2009); Hardwired (2016); Atlas, Rise! (2017); and All Within My Hands (2020).
