Taylor Swift shares new live, remixed versions of ‘Cruel Summer’

Taylor Swift released two new versions of her hit song “Cruel Summer,” featuring the live version from her ‘Eras Tour,’ and a remix from LP Giobbi.

The 33-year-old shared her feelings on social media after watching videos of audience members enjoying themselves at her concert film ‘Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour’:  “What a truly mind blowing thing you’ve turned The Eras Tour Concert Film into. I’ve been watching videos of you guys in the theaters dancing and prancing and recreating choreography, creating inside jokes, casting spells, getting engaged, and just generally creating the exact type of joyful chaos we’re known for 😇 One of my favorite things you’ve done was when you supported Cruel Summer SO much, I ended up starting The Eras Tour show with it. For old times sake, I’m releasing the live audio from the tour so we can all shriek it in the comfort of our homes and cars PLUS a brand new remix by @lpgiobbi 😜 Thank you, so much, forever, wow, just thank you!!!”

Listen to the live version of ‘Cruel Summer’ (here); and the LP Giobbi ‘Cruel Summer’ remix (here).

Emily Blunt stars in the latest trailer for Netflix’s ‘Pain Hustlers’

Emily Blunt stars in the official trailer for Netflix’s Pain Hustlers. 

The trailer shows Liza Drake (played by Blunt) landing a job from Pete Brenner (Chris Evans) at a failing pharma startup in a Florida strip mall.  Drake says at one point in the trailer: “There’s nothing so inspiring as sheer desperation” as she works as sales executive at a company marketing a new kind of opioid drug offering pain relief to cancer patients.

Netflix will start streaming Pain Hustlers on Oct. 27 after it opens in select theaters a week earlier. The streamer paid around $50 million for the movie at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival market; the world premiere for the film was at the Toronto Film Festival in September.

Bush share the video for ‘Nowhere To Go But Everywhere’

Bush have shared a music video for “Nowhere To Go But Everywhere,” featured on their Greatest Hits collection, Loaded: The Greatest Hits 1994-2023, set for release on November 10. Loaded is comprised of 21 tracks spanning nearly 30 years of Bush’s career across nine studio albums.

Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale says of the video: “While anyone can identify with clinging to the past which the song addresses, the extremes we’ve seen some people go to for external youth is unnerving. It is a drag watching your own face age—and yet as, David Bowie said, ‘The thing about aging is you become the person you should have been all along.’ Genius. And feels true.”

Bush will perform at Grammy Museum in Downtown LA on Monday November 6 in celebration of the release of Loaded: The Greatest Hits 1994-2023. The band also announced a new series of North American headline dates.

Take a look at the video for ‘Nowhere To Go But Everywhere’ – here.

Oscar-nominated actor Burt Young dies at age 83

Actor Burt Young, best known for playing Paulie Pennino in the ‘Rocky’ films, has died at the age of 83. Young’s cause of death was not immediately known; his daughter Anne Morea Steingieser confirmed the news to The New York Times, sharing that Young passed away on Oct. 8 in Los Angeles. Young’s manager Lynda Bensky said in a statement: “Burt was an actor of tremendous emotional range. He could make you cry and he could scare you to death. But the real pathos that I experienced was the poignancy of his soul. That’s where it came from.”

Young, born Gerald Tommaso DeLouise in Queens, New York, was in the US Marine Corps in the 1950s. He was an avid boxer before trying his hand at acting, studying through Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio and going on to build a career playing tough guys in TV shows and films. Young appeared in the first Rocky film in 1976, receiving an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor in 1977 for his role as the friend and future brother-in-law of boxer Rocky, played by Sylvester Stallone. Young portrayed Paulie in all six original Rocky films.

Young also appeared alongside Jack Nicholson in “Chinatown” and with Rodney Dangerfield in “Back to School.”  Other film credits include Once Upon a Time in America, Last Exit to Brooklyn and Mickey Blue Eyes, and he worked in television, appearing on The Sopranos, Law & Order, The Rockford Files and M*A*S*H. Young made his name for himself outside of acting as a painter, and exhibited his work at galleries around the world.

Stallone paid tribute to Young on Instagram: “To my Dear Friend, BURT YOUNG, you were an incredible man and artist, I and the World will miss you very much…RIP.” Their ‘Rocky’ co-star Carl Weathers posted on X: “RIP, Burt Young! A beautiful and talented soul. He was such an integral part of the Rocky family. ‘You want the bird? Go get the bird.’ Paulie will be with us forever! #BePeace.”

See Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White in the trailer for “The Iron Claw”

A24 has released the first trailer for The Iron Claw, starring Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White. The Iron Claw is the highly anticipated drama about the legendary wrestling Von Erich family. Directed and written by Sean Durkin, the film chronicles how the Von Erich brothers rose to fame in the competitive world of pro wrestling, but faced tragedy inside and outside the ring.

Five of the six Von Erich brothers pursued professional wrestling: the eldest brother Jack died in a childhood accident and Efron stars as the oldest surviving brother, Kevin, with White portraying Kerry Von Erich. Each of the Von Erich brothers found fame as they pursued pro wrestling, but their lives were also marked by tragedy, sparking rumors that the family was afflicted by the “Von Erich curse.” Efron’s Kevin says in the trailer: “Ever since I was a child, people said my family was cursed. Mom tried to protect us with God. Pop tried to protect us with wrestling. He said if we were the toughest, strongest, nothing would ever hurt us. I believed it. We all did.”

The cast also includes Harris Dickinson as David Von Erich, and Stanley Simons as Mike Von Erich, and Lily James as Kevin’s wife, Pam. Maura Tierney plays the boys’ mother Doris, while Holt McCallany appears as their father Fritz, who built his own wrestling career in the 1960s and pushed his sons to follow in his footsteps. The elder Von Erich popularized the family’s signature move: ‘The Iron Claw,’ where a wrestler grips his opponent’s face and squeezes with all five fingers.

The Iron Claw hits theaters Dec. 22; watch the trailer – here.
