The film was announced earlier this month with only a “summer” release date but got a surprise premiere Monday morning at midnight.
Life in Pink follows MGK’s breakout over the past two years, following his move from rap to rock with his 2020 album, Tickets to My Downfall,and this year’s Mainstream Sellout.
“My whole life changed in the last two years, and we had the cameras rolling,” Kelly said of the doc.
You can watch Machine Gun Kelly’s Life in Pink now on Hulu.
Kelly is currently on tour in support of Mainstream Sellout, which was released in March. A deluxe version of the record just dropped last Friday.
Whitesnake canceled its appearance Saturday at the Rock Imperium Festival in Cartagena, Spain, and the rockers’ decision to pull out of the event apparently upset the festival’s organizers.
On Saturday, Whitesnake issued a statement apologizing to fans for canceling that read, in part, “Please know we are doing everything in our power to bring you the best high energy and exciting shows we possibly can. We always strive to deliver 100%, as Whitesnake fans always deserve that much, and never anything less.”
The note adds, “We knew embarking on this tour could present many new obstacles and potential issues, which had been unknown to us on previous tours. Please know we are doing everything in our power to work through these unprecedented challenges.”
Following Whitesnake’s cancellation, festival organizers issued a lengthy statement complaining that the band had given little notice before pulling out of the gig and noting that much of the group’s equipment already was set up on stage when they officially canceled.
The note explains, “At 1:23 [p.m.], we received a call from Whitesnake’s agent indicating that the band’s drummer, Tommy Aldridge, was very ill with a high fever and that they could not perform. We appealed to the band’s sense of professionalism so as not to leave fans stranded, but their agent was blunt, stating that the show was ‘100% cancelled by the band.'”
You can read the festival organizers’ full statement about the situation at RockImperiumFestival.es.
On Sunday, Whitesnake issued another statement that reads, “Tommy was under the weather, as we all can get, but is getting better: he never had, what was inaccurately described [by the Spanish promoter] as ‘severe health problems’ and can’t wait to get back out there to perform for the fans!”
Whitesnake’s next scheduled performance is Monday, June 27 in Milan, Italy.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Marvel Studios stormed 2019’s San Diego Comic-Con, where the studio’s head Kevin Feige teased projects, including eventual Emmy nominees The Falcon and The Winter Soldier and WandaVision as well as big-screen hits, including Black Widow, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder.
Both 2020 and 2021’s San Diego Comic-Cons were moved to virtual events because of the pandemic. However, while promoting the Thor four-quel on Friday, Feige said Marvel Studios is coming back to San Diego’s famed Hall H this year, where big projects are announced.
“Yes, you can,” Feige said when asked if fans can expect a return in 2022.
“We’ll be at Comic-Con next month, which we’re excited about. First time since we were on stage there three years ago, talking about this movie [Love and Thunder] and many others.”
He added, “So, yes, we’re excited to go and talk about the future. We always look at five, ten years ahead –and it changes and twists and turns — but that’s usually, you know, as far out as we go, and then start to build it.”
Feige has a lot to tease come July when San Diego Comic-Con returns, including 2023’s big-screen sequels Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, The Marvels and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, as well as the reboot of Blade starring two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali and Disney+ projects, including Ironheart, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Secret Invasion.
Thor: Love and Thunder, starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Christian Bale and Oscar-winning writer-director Taika Waititi, opens July 8.
Marvel Studios is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News.
Paul McCartney played the U.K.’s famed Glastonbury Festival on Saturday, making history by becoming the oldest solo artist to headline the famous event.
Sir Paul, who turned 80 on Saturday June 18, also thrilled the crowd by welcoming two surprise guests to the stage during his show — Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and the Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen.
Regarding Grohl, it was his first time returning to the stage since the death of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins in March.
As reported by NME, McCartney introduced Grohl as “your hero from the West Coast,” and he and Dave then proceed to play the early Beatles classic “I Saw Her Standing There,” followed by the 1973 Wings hit “Band on the Run.”
Paul also explained to the audience that Grohl “flew in especially to do this,” noting that he had to overcome flight cancellations in Los Angeles to be able to play the show.
After Grohl exited the stage, McCartney introduced his second surprise guest, welcoming, “from the East Coast of America,” Springsteen.
Bruce, who also had joined Paul at the final show of McCartney’s Got Back Tour of the U.S. on June 16 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, played the same two songs that he did at the previous gig — his own hit “Glory Days,” and the early Beatles rave-up “I Wanna Be Your Man.”
Grohl and Springsteen also came back out on stage for the finale of McCartney’s Glastonbury show, jamming out with Paul and his band on a rendition of The Beatles’ “The End.”
McCartney’s concert lasted about two-and-a-half hours and featured over 30 songs. You can check out some fan-shot highlights of the show at NME.com, while PaulMcCartney.com also has posted a recap of the event.
Pink‘s had quite the weekend on social media, ever since she took to Twitter on Saturday to tell fans how strongly she feels about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Pink wrote, “Let’s be clear: if you believe the government belongs in a woman’s uterus, a gay persons business or marriage, or that racism is okay- THEN PLEASE IN THE NAME OF YOUR LORD NEVER F***KING LISTEN TO MY MUSIC AGAIN. AND ALSO F**K RIGHT OFF. We good?”
When a fan joked, “I hope her agent survives the stroke,” Pink replied, “I am my agent. We’re fine.”
She then spent the weekend replying to tweets from random people attacking her and amplifying tweets from and about those who share her opinion.
When one tweeted, “I can’t name one of your crappy songs,” Pink shot back, “Then WHY ARE YOU ON MY TWITTER?!?! You’re like the guy that doesn’t get picked for the team saying he wasn’t even trying, you f**king loser.”
Pink went on write, “I think all of our nerves are collectively fried from so many years of racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc. +pandemics, mass shootings, wars and the total lunacy, hypocrisy, ignorance of the GOP-it’s all a bit much. But we will stick together. Good will prevail over evil.”
But when someone replied to that tweet by calling Pink an “evil demon” who “lies,” Pink replied, “This is an example of how sick you all are and what you inspire in people.”
She added, “And to all of you sad, old white men asking me if I still make music. I realize you’re out of touch- so ask your kids…. Oh wait- you can’t. They hate you.”
After making a plea for gun reform at the White House earlier this month, Matthew McConaughey is reacting to the passing of new gun legislation this weekend.
“While this bill isn’t perfect, it is a shining example of a great American potential and political virtue: the act of compromise and validating an opposing viewpoint,” he wrote in part.
McConaughey added, “This bill will save innocent lives by keeping guns out of the law breaking and irresponsible hands that are trying to hijack the Second Amendment…Our government took a step in the right direction. Now it’s time for us to remind them AND ourselves what the best of our country is AND can be.”
The actor stepped up his gun reform activism following the May 24 school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, his hometown. The shooting killed 19 elementary school students and two teachers.
Dave Grohl made a surprise appearance during Paul McCartney‘s headlining set at the Glastonbury Festival over the weekend, marking the first time the Foo Fighters frontman has publicly performed since the death of his band mate Taylor Hawkins in March.
Grohl joined McCartney for renditions of the Beatles song “I Saw Her Standing There” and the Wings tune “Band on the Run.” He later returned to the stage with Bruce Springsteen for the set’s closing performance of The Beatles’ “The End.”
Shots from Grohl’s appearance show a giant letter T drawn on his hand, presumably in honor of Hawkins.
Hawkins passed away unexpectedly on March 25 in Bogotá, Colombia, ahead of a Foo Fighters show scheduled there for later that night. He was 50 years old.
Grohl and the rest of the Foo Fighters are holding a pair of tribute shows in honor of Hawkins September 3 in London and September 27 in Los Angeles. Among the many artists playing one or both of the all-star concerts include Nirvana‘s Krist Novoselic, Led Zeppelin‘s John Paul Jones, Queens of the Stone Age‘s Josh Homme, Miley Cyrus, Queen‘s Brian May and Roger Taylor, Rush‘s Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, Joan Jett and KISS‘ Gene Simmons.
(WASHINGTON) — The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that the First Amendment protects a public school coach’s right to pray near students.
The case focusing on separation of church and state involved a high school football coach praying post-game at the 50-yard line, joined by his players.
The court held that the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment protect an individual engaging in a personal religious observance from government reprisal; the Constitution neither mandates nor permits the government to suppress such religious expression.
Justice Neil Gorsuch authored the opinion. The vote was 6-3.
“Both the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment protect expressions like Mr. Kennedy’s,” Gorsuch wrote. “Nor does a proper understanding of the Amendment’s Establishment Clause require the government to single out private religious speech for special disfavor. The Constitution and the best of our traditions counsel mutual respect and tolerance, not censorship and suppression, for religious and nonreligious views alike.”
Gorsuch wrote for the majority, “the Constitution neither mandates nor permits the government to suppress such religious expression.”
Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented, joined by Justice Stephen Breyer and Elana Kagan.
Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Samuel Alito and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the opinion in its entirety

Following the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade on Friday, the Green Day frontman said he’s ready to leave the country — and he didn’t mince words.
“F*** America,” Armstrong told the crowd at the Hella Mega tour stop in London over the weekend. “I’m f****** renouncing my citizenship. I’m f****** coming here.”
“There’s just too much f****** stupid in the world to go back to that miserable f****** excuse for a country,” he continued as the crowd at London Stadium cheered.
And lest you think it’s all talk, Armstrong assured the crowd he was “not kidding.”
“You’re going to get a lot of me in the coming days,” he said.
