LOS ANGELES — Brittany Furlan, the comedian and wife of rocker Tommy Lee, says her dog’s extra flab saved it from being carried off by a coyote that snatched it near the pool of their Los Angeles home. Ring surveillance camera video posted Tuesday to Instagram by Furlan shows the coyote snatching the small dog, Neena, from poolside and running out of frame while Furlan screams and follows. "Thank God, I always watch them," she told NBC Los Angeles. What was described as a coyote positions to grab Brittany Furlan's dog Neena from her backyard in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles on Tuesday. People are encouraged to not leave small pets outside unsupervised and to bring small pets inside at night to prevent coyote attacks.

There are a combination of factors that are dragging down some artists' ticket sales. Just having the big song doesn't necessarily always translate into ticket sales. But there are no guarantees that any of that will translate to hard ticket sales. "Just having the big song doesn't necessarily always translate into ticket sales." Hiccups are not all about ticket sales, either.

☆ Why the controversial mullet is having a moment
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-17 | by ( Fawnia Soo Hoo | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +10 min

Long hair, don’t careThe “modern day” mullet largely originates from David Bowie’s genre-defining and gender-norm defying persona, Ziggy Stardust, Glasscock said. “People from the Continental Congress wore what we would read as a full metal, 1992 mullet,” said Glasscock. (“Hockey hair” was, meanwhile, a popular synonym for mullet at the time, given its prominence among players and fans.) Devin Yalkin/Courtesy A24While playing Kerry Von Erich in “The Iron Claw,” White also wore his dynamic, sweeping mullet off-set — but not entirely by choice. “I was like, ‘I’m sorry, here’s a ponytail holder.”But that dedication may have played an integral part in a mullet revival kicking off 2024.

But Sinatra returned two years later, to much ballyhoo and chart success, with the album “Ol’ Blue Eyes is Back.” Bowie was paying attention. “David was a big Sinatra fan,” his former manager, Tony DeFries, recently told Mojo magazine. Bowie’s retirement was a ruse, DeFries added, to generate publicity and whip up demand for a headlining tour of big venues in the United States. It worked; in 1974, Bowie played arenas across the country, including two shows at Madison Square Garden. After Bowie retired in 1973, then unretired in 1974, he retired a second time in 1975.

A FEW YEARS into the existence of his Los Angeles fashion brand, Fear of God, designer Jerry Lorenzo screenprinted the nascent label’s name on vintage rock tees from a raucous roster of headbanging bands—Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Mötley Crüe. But when he’s working at his spartan office in downtown Los Angeles, Lorenzo throws on “easy listening, soft-rock vibes,” like soulful singer Anita Baker and even the elevator-music godfather Kenny G.

☆ Is Måneskin the Last Rock Band?

The other way Måneskin is isolated from the PNRC is geographic. Over the course of lunch, it became clear that they had encyclopedic knowledge of certain eras in American rock history but were only dimly aware of others. But none of them had ever heard of Fugazi, the post-hardcore band whose hatred of major labels, refusal to sell merchandise and commitment to keeping ticket prices as low as possible set the standard for a generation of American rock snobs. It picks up again with Franz Ferdinand and the “emo” era of mainstream pop rock. While snobs like Larson and me are overrepresented in journalism, we never constituted a majority of rock fans.

If you weren’t a teenager in 1984, it might be hard to understand this, but here goes: There are Gen X-ers who remember where they were the first time they saw the video for the Wham! clap-along pop anthem “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.”In it, George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, the heartthrob frontmen of Wham!, wear big smiles and beachy short shorts as they perform their infectious bop — titled after a note Ridgeley had once left on his family’s refrigerator — for a small crowd of adoring fans. Ridgeley, who turned 60 in January, remembers making it as great fun. “It was our first video with an audience,” he said during a recent video interview from his home in London. “The atmosphere was really quite excitable and exciting.”Ridgeley and his bandmate are the subject of “Wham!,” a new documentary that premieres on Wednesday on Netflix.

Ryan White said Pamela Anderson was traumatized "for months" over Hulu's "Pam & Tommy." The "Pamela, a Love Story" director told Insider he tried to "avoid" the show when filming with her. But we also see how the star reacted in the lead-up to the airing of the Hulu series, "Pam & Tommy," which looked at the infamous sex tape between Anderson and then-husband Tommy Lee. Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee and Lily James as Pamela Anderson in "Pam & Tommy." In an interview with Variety last week, Anderson called the creators of "Pam & Tommy" "assholes."

☆ Adele reminds us how Vegas made artist residencies cool

After being abruptly postponed in January, Adele’s Las Vegas residency, “Weekends With Adele,” made its debut at Caesar’s Palace on Friday. But Adele highlights how it’s been transformed into an artistic achievement, why it’s never going away and reminds us how Las Vegas made residencies cool. This isn’t a complete list because a Las Vegas residency is no longer necessarily out of the ordinary. Does this all mean a Vegas residency is the right fit for everyone? In the shifting economic climate and post-pandemic realities, a Vegas residency may be more appealing to artists whowouldn’t normally consider it.

Да, пандемия, конечно, внесла свои коррективы и в нашу работу над новым альбомом Gîndul Mîței. Твой коллега по группе Gîndul Mîței, гитарист Сергей Яровой (Ярик) записал недавно свой второй сольный альбом. В одном из интервью ты рассказывал историю о девушке, которую спасла от самоубийства песня группы Gîndul Mâței «Requiem». Я никоим образом не хочу обидеть другие виды искусства, но все-таки музыка – царица всех видов и направлений искусства. Понимаю, что многие сейчас набросятся на меня за эти слова, включая и нашего коллегу по группе Gîndul Mîței Митрича.
