Where Michael B. Jordan keeps his Oscar …

April 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Michael B. Jordan has not yet found a place to keep his first Oscar, so it’s been hanging out in his closet.

“Right now, it’s in my closet,” he told E! News Sunday at the premiere of his new film Swapped. “It’s in my closet right now.” Though he’s tried various locations, he has yet to figure one where it should go.

“It’s one of those things that … I don’t know,” he added. “You don’t really know where to put it, you know? So it’s kind of moved around to a bunch of different places.”

Michael won the best actor category at the 2026 Academy Awards for his double role at Smoke and Stack in the movie Sinners. Nowadays, however, he has his mind on Swapped, a family-friendly film in which he voices the character Ollie. It will be available to watch on Netflix starting May 1.

Megadeth performs ‘Ride the Lightning’ cover live for first time at Bogota concert

April 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Megadeth performed their cover of Metallica’s “Ride the Lightning” for the first time ever during their show in Bogota, Colombia, on Sunday.

The original “Ride the Lightning” credits Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine as a cowriter since it uses riffs that he’d written during his time in Metallica prior to being let go from the band in 1983. Mustaine finally recorded it on his own over 40 years later for Megadeth’s self-titled farewell album, which was released in January.

“As I come full circle on the career of a lifetime, the decision to include ‘Ride the Lightning,’ a song I co-wrote with [Metallica members] James [Hetfield], Lars [Ulrich], and Cliff [Burton], was to pay my respects to where my career first started,” Mustaine said.

The Bogota show was part of Megadeth’s ongoing farewell tour, which is expected to last for multiple years. The outing includes North American dates with Iron Maiden, kicking off in August.

April 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Cyndi Lauper has no problem clapping back at hecklers.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer proved that point during the Friday night show of her residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, when a member of the audience started yelling at the stage while she was in the middle of a serious introduction to her 1993 song “Sally’s Pigeons.”

Footage posted to social media shows Lauper replying to the heckler, “I don’t know what the f*** you’re saying, hon. Please remember where you are, OK? ‘Cause if you’re trying to shade me, b****, I’m going to come for you.”

She then added, “I’m from Brooklyn. OK. And if I wanna f***** talk, I will do a tap dance if I f***** want,” before joking, “Sorry, that of course is not part of my people skills.”

Lauper has three more shows left of her Vegas residency. Her next show is Wednesday. A complete list of dates can be found at CyndiLauper.com.
