David Arquette admits to suffering ‘Scream VI’ FOMO

April 14, 2023 by WDNY Radio

While Neve Campbell famously bowed out of Scream VI over a salary dispute, the recent release was also missing another original cast member: David Arquette.

And the series’ Dwight “Dewey” Riley missed it, too — seeing as he didn’t survive the fifth.

While talking to The Wrap at the premiere of his new Peacock series Mrs. Davis, the actor feigned tears, explaining, “I totally feared missing out. I was like watching it all alone, but [with] an extra big tub of popcorn, lots of candy.”

He did add that he “loved it,” saying he thought “they did an amazing job” on the film.

As for Campbell’s potential return, Arquette is all for it. “Absolutely. I definitely miss Neve being a part of it. I’d love to see her come in and go like real hardcore!”

Music video roundup: Lewis Capaldi, Lauren Spencer Smith and more

April 14, 2023 by WDNY Radio

If you need a good cry today, Lewis Capaldi has you covered with the new music video for his song “Wish You the Best.” The clip follows an elderly mail carrier named John, played by Harry Potter alum David Bradley, and his loyal dog, named Willow. When John passes away, Willow lays by his grave until a younger mail carrier comes to care for the pup. As for where the story ends, all we’ll say is have your tissues handy.

On the female empowerment front, Lauren Spencer Smith, Gayle and Em Beihold released the music video for their collaboration “Fantasy.” The clip starts with Lauren in the back seat of a blue vintage car with her toxic ex. As she sings, she leaves him behind and one by one the other ladies join her to belt out the tune about shaking off a bad relationship.

And finally, it’s not exactly a music video, but it’s a video that involves Adele: The singer made a surprise appearance on her boyfriend Rich Paul‘s Twitch livestream with influencer Kai Cenat. As Rich and Kai chatted, Adele accidentally crashed the convo by FaceTiming Rich. She greeted him with a “Hi, baby,” before he let her know he was streaming with his pal Kai, who looked positively shocked that Adele was on the line. Kai waved hello and Adele replied, “Hi, darling! OK, have fun,” before hanging up.

“Chemo to Coachella”: Mark Hoppus is “very much in my feelings” ahead of Blink-182 reunion show

April 14, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Blink-182‘s last-minute set at Coachella Friday marks the group’s first show back since reuniting with Tom DeLonge last year. Not only that, it’s Mark Hoppus‘ first full Blink-182 concert since his 2021 cancer battle.

In an Instagram post ahead of the performance, Hoppus declares, “Chemo to Coachella.”

“Very much in my feelings today,” Hoppus writes. “Grateful to be here and excited to play a rock show with my friends tonight.”

Additionally, the show is significant for Travis Barker, who’s been recovering from surgery on his finger. The operation required Blink to postpone the first leg of their world reunion tour, which was originally scheduled to kick off in Mexico in March.

When Blink-182’s next album arrives — their first with DeLonge since 2011 — you’ll be able to hear what it sounds like when Barker plays drums with a broken finger.

“I recorded the last three songs on the album with a broken finger,” Barker tells Rolling Stone.

Blink’s Coachella set takes place at 6:45 p.m. PT. You can watch Coachella performances livestreaming on YouTube.

April 14, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Top ACM nominee Hardy was utterly incredulous when he found out he had nabbed seven nominations for the 2023 ACM Awards.

“I woke up in shock this morning. I had no idea that I’d be nominated for so much,” says Hardy, who earned nods in the Song of the Year, Music Event of the Year and Visual Media of the Year categories for his Lainey Wilson-assisted hit, “wait in the truck.”

He adds, “This truly feels like my year, and I’m just thankful that the industry would consider me as one of the top songwriters and artists in this town. Thanks to the ACM, Big Loud, The Neal Agency, and my publisher, Relative Music Group for all of the support. Thank you for all of it.”

“wait in the truck” is currently in the top four and rising on the country charts.

The 58th Academy of Country Music Awards, hosted by Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks, streams live on Amazon Prime Video May 11 at 8 p.m. ET.

Amazon reportedly eyeing reboots of ‘Robocop’, ‘Stargate’, ‘Barbershop’ and more

April 14, 2023 by WDNY Radio

When Amazon acquired MGM and its massive movie library, it wasn’t just to keep Prime Video members’ play buttons busy. Deadline is reporting the company is flipping through the studio’s intellectual property with an eye toward rebooting some of them, and Robocop, Stargate and Barbershop are among the IPs.

While the 1987 Robocop is considered a sci-fi classic and spawned two sequels of its own — as well as a short-lived TV series and a 2014 reboot that tanked — the trade says Amazon Studios is looking to upgrade it once again.

Same goes for Stargate. The 1994 sci-fi film starred James Spader and Kurt Russell, and spawned a long-running syndicated TV property, but it could be reawakened.

While Legally Blonde is an MGM property, and a third movie is already in the script phase, that universe could be back in play under Amazon Studios — for the big or small screen.

According to Deadline, Barbershop, Fame and The Magnificent Seven are also on the docket for new TV properties, sources say.

Kodak Black, “No Love for a Thug” — The rapper longs for love on the slow track. “I’m wondering, is therе no love for a thug?” he sings. “Do anybody got a soft spot for a menace?”

Saving Abel premieres new song, “Baptize Me,” with original frontman

April 14, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Saving Abel is back with a new song called “Baptize Me.”

The track marks the first fresh material from the “Addicted” rockers since reuniting with original frontman Jared Weeks in 2021. Weeks had previously been absent from the group since 2013.

“Ever since I left the band it’s like I’ve been clawing and fighting to take my life back,” says Weeks, who’s now sober following years of substance abuse. “It was hard at first but with consistency and hard work, I’ve been able to look at the things in my life that I’m not proud of, and I’ve been able to face those things, figure out where they are coming from and I’ve been able to heal.”

“That’s what the new single ‘Baptize Me’ is about,” he continues. “Consistently fighting for yourself, your life, how you treat others, and what you stand for!”

You can listen to “Baptize Me” now via digital outlets. A new Saving Abel album is due out later this year.

Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott: New bands “aren’t getting the chance” to hit it big

April 14, 2023 by WDNY Radio

While some people may think rock is dead, Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott isn’t one of them, although he does think it’s much harder for bands these days.

“Nowadays kids just shove their headphones on, not talking to their parents or their mates. It’s a very insular world,” he tells Metro UK. “Which is why I think playing live has become very important because people have to rub shoulders.”

Elliott notes that the “industry has changed,” which is making it more difficult for new rock bands to get noticed.

“Some of these new bands write great songs and they’re going about it the right way, but they aren’t getting the chance,” he says. “I don’t think it’s their fault, and that’s the scary bit.” He adds, “Even scarier is that Def Leppard started in ’77 and we’re still talking about us in 2023. Are we still gonna be talking about these newer bands in 2065?”

Next up for Def Leppard, they’re getting ready to release their new album, Drastic Symphonies, on May 19. They’ll be at Royal Festival Hall in London on May 16 to talk about their new book, Definitely: The Official Story of Def Leppard, which is hitting book stores May 9. They also have the U.K. and European leg of their stadium tour with Mötley Crüe, which kicks off May 22 in Sheffield, England. A complete list of dates can be found at defleppard.com.

Brett Young’s offering an invitation to “Dance With You”

April 14, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Brett Young has dropped new track “Dance With You.”

Co-written by Brett, Jordan Minton and Jimmy Robbins, the autobiographical song’s about a lifetime commitment to “dance” with one’s significant other through the good and bad.

“Just pick out a song I can hold you to/ Go on, let down your hair, baby, kick off your shoes/ They say, ‘Life’s a dance,’ and if that’s the truth/ I only wanna dance with you,” he sings in the chorus.

“It meant so much to release a little bit of my own love story,” Brett says. “My wife and I have a bond that’s hard to put into words. This song and video let us relive the events of such a special day and the start of our journey. Getting to share it with the world made me even more thankful for what we have.”

The aforementioned “Dance With You” lyric video features footage from Brett and his wife’s wedding day, including their very special first dance.

Brett’s current single, “You Didn’t,” is number nine and rising on the country charts.
