MUSIC

Weekend one of Coachella

is in the books, and many attendees secured their tickets through an

installment plan.

Highlights:   

Weezer

slipped in a cover of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" during their

Saturday set at Coachella, the same song they covered for 2021's 'Blacklist',

an album of Metallica songs performed by different artists.

Queen guitarist Brian May popped up from the Coachella stage on Friday night to help

singer Benson Boone perform "Bohemian Rhapsody".

Green

Day's Billie Joe Armstrong made a surprise appearance during The Go Gos

performance at Coachella on Friday night, one of the first shows from the new

wave legends since 2022.

 Lady Gaga's headlining set Friday night was epic, and some people are

already calling it the best in the history of Coachella.

 Weird Al

Yankovic made his Coachella debut . . . joining Yo Gabba Gabba for the classic Muppet

track "The Rainbow Connection".

During Green Day's set

on Saturday night, their pyro accidentally lit a nearby palm tree on fire.

Missy

Elliott went full-on "Transformers",

starting her set as a car, before morphing into herself.

Charli

XCX brought out some big

guns for her set:  Troye Sivan, Billie Eilish, and Lorde. 

A

California man was arrested after he allegedly admitted a bomb threat on the

Coachella Music Festival. 

Britney Spears touched down in Mexico the other day for a

little vacation and one of her body guards was carrying a BABY DOLL wrapped in

a pink blanket as they got off the plane.

Van Halen’s only number-one song, 1984’s “Jump,” has

surpassed a billion streams on Spotify. Alex Van Halen says, "Thanks to all the fans for

listening!"

TV

Mickey Rourke's time on the UK's "Celebrity Big

Brother" was mercifully short.  He's been bounced from the show due to "inappropriate

language" and "unacceptable behavior."

Blue Origin’s first

all-female space crew is going into space this morning.

 "White

Lotus" Season 3 star Aimee Lou Wood has been pretty vocal about not liking the attention she gets

for her "unique" teeth.  So she wasn't very amused

when "Saturday Night Live" parodied her looks this

weekend.

MOVING ON INTO MOVIE

NEWS:

A new doc, out now,

explores the life of John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono after The Beatles'

split: 'One to One: John & Yoko' chronicles their move and life in early

70s New York City through a collage of audio recordings and remastered concert

footage.

from "Boston Public" and "Dazed and

Confused", passed away.  No word on the cause of death.
