Linkin Park shares previously unreleased song “Lost,” announces 20th anniversary ’Meteora’ reissue

February 10, 2023 by WDNY Radio

After a week of teases, Linkin Park has released “Lost,” a previously unreleased song that dates back to the Meteora era.

The track, which features lead vocals by the late Chester Bennington, is available now via digital outlets and is streaming now alongside an anime-styled video on YouTube.

“Finding [‘Lost’] was like finding a favorite photo you had forgotten you’d taken, like it was waiting for the right moment to reveal itself,” says LP’s Mike Shinoda. “For years, fans have been asking us to release something with Chester’s voice, and I’m thrilled we’ve been able to make that happen in such a special way.”

As theorized, “Lost” previews a 20th anniversary reissue of Meteora, which will arrive April 7. The collection will be available in a number of configurations, including as a super deluxe box set edition featuring a host of never-before-released material, as well as demos, B-sides and live tracks.

“I think [fans are] going to be floored when they hear and see all the incredible unreleased songs and video footage in METEORA|20,” Shinoda says.

Meteora, the sophomore follow-up to LP’s RIAA Diamond-certified debut, Hybrid Theory, was first released in March 2003. It’s been certified seven-times Platinum, and spawned the hits “Numb” and “Faint.”

The upcoming reissue will be Linkin Park’s first new release since the Hybrid Theory 20th anniversary reissue, which dropped in 2020. The band has largely been quiet since the death of Bennington in 2017. They haven’t performed live since their tribute concert to Bennington that same year. Last April, Shinoda said that Linkin Park didn’t currently have any new music or live show plans.

New consumer warning on strollers due to entrapment risk, one death reported

February 10, 2023 by WDNY Radio

(NEW YORK) — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers about possible entrapment hazards in Baby Trend Sit N’ Stand Double and Ultra strollers after one death was reported.

The agency and stroller manufacturer announced Thursday that model numbers beginning with “SS76” or “SS66” have a risk of entrapment between “the pivoting front canopy and the arm rest or seat back.”

“The space in front of and behind the strollers’ pivoting front canopy can entrap a child’s head or neck if a non-occupant child climbs on the exterior of the stroller or when a child in the front seat of the stroller is not securely restrained in the seat using all five points of the harness. Entrapment could lead to a loss of consciousness, serious injury, or death,” the warning stated.

The stroller company received at least one report of neck entrapment that resulted in the asphyxiation death of a non-occupant 14-month-old, the warning said. Baby Trend was also aware of one report that resulted in neck bruises to a 17-month-old.

“Consumers can mitigate the hazard by removing and separately storing the canopy when not in use, not allowing children to play on the strollers, and always fully securing children in the strollers with the built-in five-point harness,” the warning said.

The strollers, sold nationwide since 2009, are available online at Amazon and Bed Bath & Beyond and at retailers including Walmart, Target, Kohl’s and buybuy BABY.

The two affected products have a black or silver frame and a black tray at the front with oval cutouts on the sides with “Sit N’ Stand” printed in white on the sides.

Consumers are encouraged to report incidents or injuries associated with the Baby Trend Sit N’ Stand Double or Ultra strollers or with any product to CPSC.

Dunkin’ to air first ever Super Bowl ad, fans suspect Ben Affleck is the star

February 10, 2023 by WDNY Radio

(NEW YORK) — Outside his packed resume of movie and television credits, Ben Affleck has become famous in meme form with his hands full of Dunkin’ iced coffee, doughnuts and more.

In recent days, the Quincy, Massachusetts-based coffee chain, beloved by the Boston-raised actor, has been hinting at an upcoming debut Super Bowl ad — and the latest hint includes a voiceover with a familiar Boston accent.

Dunkin’ released a new video on social media Thursday with what fans speculate is Affleck’s voice saying, “Welcome to Dunkin’ we’re a very friendly establishment. America runs on Dunkin’. This is the Dunkin’ run partner. What do you need?”

“Instead of wondering what could have been we started wondering what could have Ben,” Dunkin wrote in the caption.

Earlier this week, the coffee brand posted a close-up shot of a Dunkin’ iced coffee with on-screen text that read, “Something’s Ben Brewing” and Sunday’s date for Super Bowl LVII.

“Feelin’ like we could all use some Dunkin’ today,” the caption read.

Instagram users filled the comments with a range of ideas as to what it meant, with Affleck the resounding guess by many fans.

A representative for Dunkin’ told ABC News and Good Morning America that the teaser posts were all they could share ahead of the big game.

“We’re airing our first-ever Super Bowl ad this year, but you’ll have to tune in on Sunday to see what’s ‘Ben’ brewing,” Jill Nelson, chief marketing officer, said in a statement.

In the meantime, a photographer snapped a shot of Affleck sporting the black Dunkin’ t-shirt and matching visor complete with a headset as he leaned out the drive-through window of a Boston Dunkin’ location on Jan. 10.

Jennifer Lopez takes a subtle dig at husband Ben Affleck’s “happy face” in doctored trailer for his film ‘Air’

February 10, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Jennifer Lopez has apparently decided to play along with the posts roasting her husband Ben Affleck‘s apparently less-than-thrilled expressions during last Sunday night’s Grammy Awards, in a seemingly supportive post about Ben’s forthcoming movie, Air.

The actress and recording artist reposted the trailer of her director hubby’s film, about Nike’s creation of the Air Jordan sneaker, noting, “AIR…cannot wait.”

However, Jen slipped in a subtle dig at Affleck, in a scene in the ’80s-set film that featured a glum-looking Affleck as Nike president Phil Knight: A legend under Ben’s face that reads, “My husband’s happy face.”

It’s literally a blink-and-you-miss-it modification to the actual trailer — and judging by the replies from some of her 234 million followers — many people did, commenting only on how excited they were for the Amazon Studios film.

That said, she also Tweeted a snap of the caption, meme-style, on her Twitter, so everyone can get in on the joke.

The Internet started buzzing Sunday night about Affleck’s expressions, and an apparently tense exchange between the celebrity couple that even led some outlets to employ lip readers to see what the problem was.

The moment hearkened back to the famous 2016 “Sad Affleck” meme that came from the actor’s looking distant while reacting to a question about negative reviews of his film Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Damar Hamlin calls trainer the ‘savior of my life’ in new interview

February 10, 2023 by WDNY Radio

(NEW YORK) — Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has made a remarkable recovery in just a little over a month after he suffered cardiac arrest and collapsed during the first quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals.

In a new interview with Good Morning America, Hamlin said that his life was saved by Denny Kellington, the trainer who administered on-field CPR on Jan. 2 for nearly 10 minutes and restored the player’s pulse, before he was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

“I owe Denny my life. Literally,” Hamlin told GMA’s Michael Strahan. “He loves to say he was just doing his job. But… that night, he was literally the savior of my life, you know, administering CPR on me.”

The 24-year-old was initially placed on a ventilator, but showed improvement and was discharged from the hospital nine days later. Hamlin’s collapse has sparked a greater conversation of cardiac arrest in young people and the importance of bystanders learning to perform lifesaving CPR.

Hamlin said that Kellington’s quick-thinking made all of the difference in a life-or-death situation.

“If it wasn’t for someone showing up that day with a clear mind and whatever’s going on in their personal life, just to put it aside and just to be present in the moment to actually be able to do their job correctly — that’s something I’m truly thankful for and I don’t take for granted,” said Hamlin.

Tune in on Monday at 7 a.m. ET on Good Morning America to see what Hamlin said about his recovery and what’s ahead, including his future in professional football.

Britney Spears speaks out on intervention rumors: “It makes me sick to my stomach”

February 10, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Britney Spears‘ husband, Sam Asghari, has already condemned the recent reports that his wife’s inner circle was planning an intervention because, as one source told TMZ, “I’m afraid she’s gonna die.” But now, let’s hear from the woman herself.

Taking to Instagram, Britney wrote, “It makes me sick to my stomach that it’s even legal for people to make up stories that I almost died … I mean at some point enough is enough !!!”

“I’m probably going to have to stop posting on Instagram because even though I enjoy doing it, there’s obviously a lot of people who don’t wish me well !!!” she continued. “I’m honestly not surprised at all … Again doing the best I can !!! Again, the conservatorship has been over for almost a year.”

And while sources told People that her life is “chaotic,” Britney wrote, “No folks, it’s not 2007 … it’s 2023 and I’m making my first homemade lasagna at home !!! I finally got my fireplace to work in my living room !!!”

“As my hubby says it best: don’t believe everything you read !!! All that love right back at ya !!!” she concluded.

As previously reported, Ventura County Sheriff’s Office deputies last month performed a welfare check on Spears in response to calls after she deactivated her Instagram, which she’s done several times. Authorities reportedly made contact with Britney and determined she was not in any danger. Britney later called it the result of “some prank phone calls.”

Last November marked a year since Britney’s conservatorship was terminated. She had been placed under the care of her father, Jamie Spears, following her 2008 mental health crisis.

Vin Diesel wants to cast Robert Downey Jr. in the next ‘Fast and Furious’ movie

February 10, 2023 by WDNY Radio

(NOTE LANGUAGE) The Fast and Furious franchise has featured A-list actors such as Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren, Rita Moreno and Jason Momoa, and at the Fast X trailer premiere on Thursday, star Vin Diesel told Variety he wants to add Robert Downey Jr. to that list.

Diesel, who plays protagonist Dom Toretto, even has Downey Jr.’s part already picked out.

“Without telling you too much about what happens in the future, there’s a character who is the antithesis of Dom who is promoting AI and driverless cars and a philosophy that with that goes your freedom,” he told the outlet. “There is somebody that believes that’s the future, and that’s at direct odds with the Toretto mentality.”

Asked if he’d approached RDJ yet, Diesel playfully growled and said menacingly, “How dare you ask me this question in front of all these people? I have pride and I have dignity.”

When asked the same question on the red carpet, Diesel’s Fast X co-star, Michelle Rodriguez, went in a different direction.

“Who’s the guy from these amazing Jason Bourne movies? Matt Damon!” she shared. “I f****** want Matt Damon. Matt Damon, would you be in a Fast and Furious movie? C’mon, we got four Oscar winners, man. And you’re an Oscar winner!”

Fast X — also starring Jason Statham, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, John Cena, Jordana Brewster, Brie Larson, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, Scott Eastwood, Michael Rooker, Daniela Melchior, Alan Ritchson and Cardi B. — opens in theaters May 19.

Suspect caught after allegedly shooting two Maryland officers, leading police on manhunt

February 10, 2023 by WDNY Radio

(BALTIMORE COUNTY, ) — A 24-year-old man has been apprehended after he allegedly shot two Baltimore County, Maryland, police officers and led authorities on a multiday manhunt, officials said.

The search for David Linthicum began on Wednesday when he allegedly wounded the first officer, Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said at a news conference Friday.

A second officer was shot on Thursday, Gahler said.

Baltimore County Public Schools were closed Thursday as the manhunt unfolded.

Linthicum allegedly led police on a car chase into Harford County on Thursday, the sheriff said. He then fled into the woods where he “hunkered down” overnight, Gahler said.

Linthicum was uninjured when he was taken into custody early Friday, Gahler said.

The officer injured on Wednesday was “released from the hospital and is in good spirits,” Baltimore County police said.

The officer shot on Thursday is on life support, said Dr. Thomas Scalea of the Shock Trauma Center.

“He is going to need a significant amount of reconstruction,” Scalea said.

“He’ll be with us for awhile,” he said.
