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.
