Riley Keough, the granddaughter of Elvis Presley, follows in The King’s footsteps in the new teaser to the Amazon Studios series Daisy Jones & The Six.

The streaming service just dropped a teaser for the 10-episode show about the fictional titular ’70s band that broke up at the height of their fame. The coming attraction showcases Keough and Sam Claflin belting out “Regret Me,” one of 24 original songs written exclusively for the series and recorded by the cast, which includes Camila Morrone, Suki Waterhouse and Timothy Olyphant.

Atlantic Records will release the cast soundtrack to the musical drama.

Based on the bestselling novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six follows the band from obscurity to worldwide fame — and its abrupt flameout. “Now, decades later, the band members finally agree to reveal the truth. This is the story of how an iconic band imploded at the height of its powers,” the streamer teases.

Produced by Amazon Studios and Reese Witherspoon‘s Hello Sunshine company, Daisy Jones & The Six premieres March 3.

(NOTE LANGUAGE) He plays a superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Jeremy Renner was apparently injured in a real-life heroic act.

According to a report from the Washoe County, Nevada, Police Department obtained by CNN, Renner was attempting to save his nephew from being crushed by the actor’s sliding Snowcat vehicle when it instead pulled him under, critically injuring him on January 1.

Renner suffered “blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries” in the accident, for which he underwent emergency surgery. Renner recently revealed he’s recovering from more than 30 broken bones.

After Renner towed his nephew’s car out of the snow, the investigators explained, “The Pistenbully snow groomer began sliding causing Renner to exit the vehicle without setting the emergency brake.”

“Once he was off the Pistenbully, he realized it was heading directly toward [his nephew],” the report details. “When Renner attempted to stop or divert [it] … he was pulled under the vehicle by the track and run over.”

The investigators found a brake indicator light on the vehicle was malfunctioning, so it’s possible Renner didn’t realize it hadn’t been engaged.

Meanwhile, his Mayor of Kingstown “family” is pulling for him, Tobi Bamtefa, who plays Bunny, told ABC Audio Wednesday. “I’m actually just … directing all of my energies into making sure that he recovers. I think the whole team is. And … I guess it’s brought us together more than anything.”

Bamtefa marveled at how the Marvel star was still telling his social media followers to tune in to the show. He said it was inspiring to see Renner supporting everybody, even as he recovers.

Tobi adds, “I’m just praying that he comes out of this even stronger. He’s a bit of a bada**, to be honest.”

Justin Roiland has been removed from two more of his shows, not a day after Adult Swim dropped the co-creator and voice star from Rick and Morty. Roiland voices both titular characters on the beloved show.

Roiland faces two felony domestic violence charges stemming from a January 2020 incident with his then-girlfriend; he has pleaded not guilty.

In a statement to ABC Audio Wednesday, 20th TV Animation and Hulu both noted, “We have ended our association with Justin Roiland.”

The 42-year-old both produced and voiced characters in Solar Opposites on Hulu, as well as 20th Animation’s series Koala Man, which also features the voices of Hugh Jackman and Succession‘s Sarah Snook.

As Adult Swim promised with Rick and Morty, the latter two studios insisted, “Solar Opposites and Koala Man will continue without Roiland’s involvement.”

The Razzies rescind nomination for young ‘Firestarter’ actress

The Razzies have blown themselves a raspberry. The awards celebrating the year’s worst in film got flamed online after adding young Firestarter remake actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong to its Worst Actress nominations on Monday.

In response, the organization has issued a mea culpa and rescinded the (dis)honor.

“Sometimes, you do things without thinking,” said The Razzie Awards’ John Wilson. “Then you are called out for it. Then you get it. It’s why the Razzies were created in the first place.”

“The recent valid criticism of the choice of 11-year-old Armstrong as a nominee for one of our awards brought our attention to how insensitive we’ve been in this instance. As a result, we have removed Armstrong’s name from the Final Ballot that our members will cast next month.”

Wilson added, “We also believe a public apology is owed Ms. Armstrong, and wish to say we regret any hurt she experienced as a result of our choices.”

Wilson also said from now on, any performer under 18 will be ineligible for nomination for the Golden Raspberry Awards.

“We have never intended to bury anyone’s career. It is why our Redeemer Award was created. We all make mistakes, very much us included,” Wilson said. “Since our motto is ‘Own Your Bad,’ we realize that we ourselves must also live up to it.”

Love (spores) are in the air in Gotham City, thanks to villainous couple Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, in the new trailer to HBO Max’s forthcoming Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine’s Day Special.

The R-rated coming attraction shows Kaley Cuoco‘s Harley going the extra mile with her gal pal (Lake Bell) for V-Day, but her mean green girlfriend’s ecstasy ends up being contagious — meaning everyone else in Batman’s stomping grounds starts feeling the love.

The coming attraction shows Clayface with a lady reenacting the pottery scene from Ghost, using himself as the clay; Bane seeks love advice, and a little male enhancement, from Etrigan the Demon; and even Bruce Wayne gets some Bat Symbol-shaped chocolate from Selina Kyle aka Catwoman.

However, all that is before Ivy’s love potion turns the town positively sex crazed on the year’s most romantic night.

The special, which also features the voices of Rogue One‘s Alan Tudyk, Happy Endings vet Casey Wilson and Abbott Elementary‘s Tyler James Williams, debuts February 9.

After Oscar noms, searches soar for ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’

Searchlight Pictures/20th Century Studios

The film was already on the awards track before its three Golden Globe wins, but The Banshees of Inisherin‘s nine Oscar nominations apparently finally got the internet’s curiosity.

According to Google data compiled by the online gambling site Slotbox, searches for the Martin McDonagh-directed film jumped 1,150% following Tuesday’s Oscar nominations announcement.

On January 11, after the movie took home three Golden Globes — a Best Actor nod for Colin Farrell, one for Best Film in the Musical or Comedy category and one for Best Screenplay — searches had jumped 150%.

Many of those queries related to Inisherin tourism. In fact, Google’s search automatically loads the common question “Is Inisherin a real place?” Alas, the picturesque Irish island town of the title doesn’t actually exist. You can, however, visit Inis Mor and Achill Islands on the west coast of Ireland if you’re looking to soak up the sights — or break up with a longtime buddy.

The Banshees of Inisherin received Oscar nominations for Best Actor for Farrell, Best Supporting Actor for Barry Keoghan and Best Supporting Actress for Kerry Condon, as well as Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score and Best Director for McDonagh.

At the service, Australian stuntman Ben Smith-Petersen, Riley’s husband and the father of their first child, read aloud Riley’s emotional remembrance of her for her mother, which said in part, “Thank you for showing me love is the only thing that matters in this life. I hope I can love my daughter the way you loved me…”

In addition to Keough, Lisa Marie Presley shared late son Benjamin , Riley’s brother, with ex-husband Danny Keough. Benjamin died by suicide at age 27 in July 2020.

Lisa Marie Presley also shared twin daughters, Harper and Finley, both 14, with ex-husband Michael Lockwood.
