Mick Jagger has fun with mannequin hands during ‘Tonight Show’ appearance

May 7, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Mick Jagger got a chance to show off his comedic chops when he stopped by The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night.

The Rolling Stones frontman took part in a comedy sketch, “Real People Fake Arms.” Setting up the premise, Fallon claimed to have starred in a British soap opera in the ’90s called Jacob’s Patience, noting that his co-star was difficult because he wouldn’t use his arms in any of the scenes. Instead, he used mannequin arms, so the show’s director made everyone else use them as well.

Fallon noted that while it sounded crazy, “if you watched it you’d never be able to tell.”

He then threw to a clip of the show, where, of course, you could totally tell. The clip showed Jimmy at a jewelry store called Hackney Diamonds, after The Stones’ 2023 album, with Mick playing the sales person.

“Please to meet you, I hope you guess my name,” Jagger said as he introduced himself to Fallon, a reference to The Stones’ classic “Sympathy for the Devil.”

The sketch then captured Jagger showing Fallon some jewelry pieces for a Mother’s Day gift for Fallon’s wife, all the while using his awkward mannequin arms, which led to several absurd interactions, including Jagger “booping” Fallon a few times.

There was also another Rolling Stones reference, when Fallon noted he couldn’t afford one of the suggested pieces and said, “You can’t always get what you want.”

Jagger’s appearance comes just one day after The Rolling Stones announced their new album, Foreign Tongues, is coming out July 10. Keith Richards is expected to stop by The Tonight Show Thursday, and Ronnie Wood is making an appearance on May 13.

May 7, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Selena Gomez has been the subject of a documentary, and so has her Only Murders in the Building co-star Steve Martin. Now, their other co-star, Martin Short, has gotten the documentary treatment and Selena is telling her fans to watch it as soon as they can.

Selena posted a photo on Instagram of herself at a New York screening of the Netflix doc Marty, Life Is Short, and added a collection of photos of herself with the Canadian comedy icon. She wrote, “This man who doesn’t have social media is truly outstandingly witty, smart and has given the most wonderful attributes to our world of comedy. Some may not know much that follow me. But Martin Short is nothing short of a legend.”

She added, “His outlook on life is simply joyful. I cried, laughed and empathized his entire story. Check it out on @netflix now please. Worth every minute. -thank you Marty for your inspiring and tremendous heart that makes me forever happy.”

Selena attended the LA screening with her husband Benny Blanco, and guests including Kate Hudson, Billy Crystal, Jerry Seinfeld, Jimmy Kimmel and Marty’s fellow Canadian stars Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin and Paul Shaffer. Levy and Martin are both in the documentary, as are Tom Hanks, Steve Martin, the late Catherine O’Hara, John Mulaney and more. It debuts May 12.

The ACM trophy Parker McCollum would especially like to add to his collection

May 7, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Parker McCollum already has a pair of Academy of Country Music trophies, having won new male artist in 2021 and visual media of the year for “Burn It Down” in 2023.

But his sole nomination this year, for album of the year for his self-titled record, is especially meaningful.

“I spent the whole day just kinda processing it, reading text messages, [with] people calling,” he says of the day the contenders were announced. “That record, that’s everything I got, that record. That’s as good and as much and as committed and as deep as I can go, that I know of.”

“So, for it to be recognized and be mentioned in such a stout category with so many great records nominated and so many great records that could’ve been nominated, I don’t know. As a songwriter, that one really, really means a lot,” he adds.

Parker McCollum includes his current single, “Killin’ Me,” and his previous hit, “What Kinda Man.”

The Texas native competes against Zach Top’s Ain’t in It for My Health, Carter Faith’s Cherry Valley, Riley Green’s Don’t Mind If I Do (Deluxe) and Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem.

Tune in to see who wins Sunday, May 17, as the 61st ACMs stream live from Las Vegas on Prime Video.

Paul McCartney’s ‘The Boys of Dungeon Lane’ to be celebrated with nationwide record store release parties

May 7, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Paul McCartney’s new solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, will be celebrated with record store release parties across the country.

The two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer revealed a list of record stores hosting the events May 29-31. The Instagram announcement noted that the parties will include postcard party favors and tote bags that come with the purchase of the album, plus a chance to win an undisclosed “special prize.”

Those attending will also have the chance to purchase a special limited-edition silver vinyl variant of the album, which will only be available at the parties.

The Boys of Dungeon Lane, dropping May 29, is McCartney’s first solo album since 2020’s McCartney III. It is described as “a collection of rare and revealing glimpses into memories never-before shared along with some newly inspired love songs.”

The album includes the song “Home to Us,” a collaboration with McCartney’s Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr, which will be released Friday. The song also features Pretenders frontwoman Chrissie Hynde and Sharleen Spiteri from the band Texas.

Akon’s ‘Beautiful Day’ album spotlights rising artists, shares message of positivity

May 7, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Akon’s new album, Beautiful Day, bridges cultures, genres and generations with a wide range of collaborators, including R&B artist SIMIEN, dance electronic DJ/producer Ochok and others he’s actively helping to spotlight. Akon told ABC Audio he’s committed to supporting new artists following his own struggles in the industry.

“They need that platform, especially when they come in with such talent that the world needs to hear. I didn’t have that opportunity when I was coming up … the doors was being shut in my face … so I never really wanted the artists to feel that, especially when they’re in a position where they actually are genuine to that craft that they’re trying to … share with the rest of the world,” Akon said. “So, if I’m in a position where it doesn’t cost me nothing to give that artist that exposure, why not?”

He added that while he wants to support many artists, he only focuses on what he can manage.

“I’m only one man and only can do so much,” he said. “There’s gonna be a lot more coming, but I am doing what I can responsibly handle, and properly promote and give the attention to.”

To that end, he helped promote SIMIEN’s “Sugar” single, which he’s featured on, much like he did his own album. Akon said they’re “about to be so big.”

Beautiful Day is led by “Akon’s Beautiful Day,” a song he believes resonates with people because of its positivity.

“Look at the world we live in today and how much is going on negatively around us that distracts us from the great things we should be appreciating,” he said. “That record actually brings you in that moment, like, damn … no matter how bad I got it, it’s somebody out there that got it worse.”

Don’t know Poppy? Prepare to be jumping by the end of her set

May 7, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Poppy is performing at the 2026 Welcome to Rockville festival, which kicks off Thursday in Daytona Beach, Florida. While fans of the “new way out” artist are familiar with her penchant for switching from screaming and crushing riffs to sugary pop, the nature of festivals means she may find herself performing in front of crowds that may not know her music.

“I think maybe if you’re new to my music and to Poppy, there might be a bit of questioning and uncertainty,” Poppy tells ABC Audio.

Still, Poppy is confident she can convert an unknowing audience into fans, judging from her past festival experiences.

“By the end, when we can get them jumping, I feel like we’ve accomplished something,” she says.

After her Welcome to Rockville set, Poppy will launch a full U.S. headlining tour in July in support of her new album, Empty Hands. While those crowds will surely be filled with dedicated Poppy fans, if you’re still unsure of what to expect, Poppy’s got you covered.

“Nice outfits, loud music, guitars, breakdowns, smiling faces,” she says. “That’s what you’re in for.”

Sabrina Carpenter says singing with ‘new friend’ Stevie Nicks ‘healed’ her

May 7, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Now that Sabrina Carpenter has come down from the high of this year’s Met Gala, where she wore Dior, Versace and Bob Mackie gowns and duetted with Stevie Nicks, she’s reflecting on the experience on Instagram.

“Thank you to the one and only @donatella_versace and the dazzling @bobmackie for the legendary dresses,” Sabrina wrote on Instagram about the two looks she wore during her solo set and her Stevie duet.

She went on to write, “Thank you Anna [Wintour], @voguemagazine and @metmuseum for having me perform and giving me a beautiful new friend @stevienicks; singing together healed many things in me!”

During the event, Sabrina performed “Espresso,” “House Tour” and “Please Please Please,” and then joined Stevie for her Fleetwood Mac classic “Landslide.” She was also part of the chorus singing along when Stevie ended her solo set with Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop.”

Over the years, Stevie has become a friend and mentor to many young female pop stars — and one male pop star — including Sabrina’s pal Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Vanessa Carlton, the three members of HAIM and Katy Perry. Plus, her songs have been sampled or interpolated by Miley Cyrus, Destiny’s Child and Dua Lipa.

In April, Sabrina sang with Madonna at Coachella. She wrote at the time, “Spending so much time laughing with you and then above all sharing the stage with you is a privilege I’ll never forget.”
