Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson joins Chris Janson in the video for ‘Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get’

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is featured in the music video for good buddy Chris Janson’s latest single “Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get”.  Janson shares: We had a great time making this video. Tons of genuine real fun. From Tennessee to Texas, we made it happen. Can’t thank DJ enough for starring in it and for being a great friend to me.” 

Per Billboard, the video isn a ‘fun escapade as the two ride around a field and lounge in the back of a 1970 brown Ford Explorer in the clip, laughing and enjoying each other’s company.’

Johnson and Janson met in 2022 in California, when Janson was with his son. They spotted Johnson in a parking lot while they were both waiting for their cars, and Janson says: “If it weren’t for my kid going, ‘Oh my gosh, The Rock is right in front of us! Daddy, please ask for a picture,’ this would have never maybe happened. I’m a pretty shy guy. I’ve never once, I’m proud to say, asked for a photo, because I understand the extent of what it constitutes when you are in the public eye. But God works in mysterious ways.”

Johnson adds: “’we bonded so quickly in a parking lot waiting for our cars to pull around – talking about ‘The Blues Man,’ talking about the Opry…what really moved me was Chris’ humility, his love for not only country music, which I love as well but his desire to work hard and take care of his family. He does it with such a grace and style – again, his humility, gratitude and always bringing some fun to the mix made us fast friends and I’m happy to be a part of his video.”

Apple TV+ series ‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ renewed for Season 2

Apple TV+ has renewed the mystery-thriller series The Last Thing He Told Me for a second season. Jennifer Garner stars in the series as Hannah Hall, a woman who must forge a relationship with her 16-year-old stepdaughter Bailey (Angourie Rice) in order to find the truth about why her husband has mysteriously disappeared.

Season 1 of The Last Thing He Told Me was based on Laura Dave’s best-selling novel; while season two will be based on the author’s newly announced sequel to her book of the same name. The latter is set to be published in 2025, ahead of the show’s Season 2 premiere.  Garner, Rice, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and David Morse will return in the new season.

Garner said in a statement: “Like so many people, I fell for Hannah on page one of Laura Dave’s gripping novel. The move to actor and producer from reader and super fan was delicious — and made even sweeter by collaborating with Laura, Josh, Reese and everyone at Hello Sunshine, as well as the amazing teams at Apple and 20th. Being part of this group, not to mention part of such a stellar cast, was a career highlight for me. I’m thrilled to get to tell more of Hannah’s story — I couldn’t have said yes more quickly to season two! These characters and their story mean so much to me, as I know they do to the many who have championed our show; we’re excited to give audiences even more with this next chapter.”

Paul McCartney and Wings announce live album ‘One Hand Clapping’

Paul McCartney announced the release of live studio sessions from 1974 newly-mixed and available for the first time as the album, One Hand Clapping – longly considered one of the most bootlegged live albums in musical history.

‘One Hand Clapping’ came to be while McCartney and Wings were filming a video documentary at Abbey Road Studios in August 1974 (around the time that their classic album ‘Band on the Run’ was topping the charts). However, despite demand for newly recorded material recorded during that time, ‘One Hand Clapping’ was never officially released. Over the years, however, various parts of One Hand Clapping have been bootlegged – with some of the material appearing on official McCartney releases.

The forthcoming release of One Hand Clapping will feature the original artwork designed for the project, including a TV sales brochure for the unreleased film at the time. It marks the first time the audio for the film, along with several additional songs recorded off-camera, will be officially issued.

One Hand Clapping will be released June 14 in multiple formats, including an online exclusive 2 LP + 7-inch package featuring an exclusive vinyl single of previously unreleased solo performances recorded on the final day of the sessions in the backyard of Abbey Road studios. The set will also be available on 2 CDs and digitally, including a Dolby Atmos mix by Giles Martin and Steve Orchard.

Said Borchetta: “Mötley Crüe on Big Machine! Growing up in Southern California, I was in Hollywood when these new sheriffs showed up and took over the city. It was loud. It was powerful. It was game-changing. Nikki, and Tommy, along with new guitarist John 5, have reignited the flame with ferocious new Crüe music. Fans will unite… SHOUT!”
