Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Shy Carter is the man behind pop and country hits by Charlie Puth (“One Call Away”), Meghan Trainor (“Mr. Almost”), Kane Brown (“Heaven”) and Sugarland (“Stuck Like Glue”). After more than a decade behind the scenes, the songwriter is introducing himself as an artist with his uplifting debut single “Good Love.” Carter’s musical upbringing started as a child in Memphis where he played saxophone in church and eventually on Beale Street. He grew up listening to gospel, jazz, R&B and soul, and all these influences can be heard within his music. Carter’s earliest compositions came in the fourth grade when he’d frequently rap his school presentations. He wrote and recorded his first song at 16 and another one of his original songs received airplay in Grand Rapids, Michigan, shortly after his family relocated during his senior year of high school.

From left: Kim de Leon, Michael V and Dasuri Choi People come and go. That’s how it has always been in show biz. Still, that doesn’t make parting ways with longtime costars any less painful. “May kirot,” said Michael V of “Bubble Gang’s” upcoming revamp, which entailed downsizing its cast. “Everyone who enters this industry knows how things work here. There will be times where you will be in, and times where you will be not… Even I am not immune to that.” Aside from Michael V, who’s also the creative director of the iconic sketch comedy show, nine other cast members will remain: Sef Cadayona, Paolo Contis, Betong Sumaya, Chariz Solomon, Valeen Montenegro, Archie Alemania, Analyn Baro, Kokoy de Santos and Faye Lorenzo. Those leaving include Antonio Aquitania, Kim Domingo, Mikoy Morales, Liezel Lopez, Ashley Rivera, Arra San Agustin, Lovely Abella and Myka Flores. Meanwhile, four new faces—Tuesday Vargas, Kim de Leon, Dasuri Choi and Faith da Silva—will make their debut in … [Read more...] about ‘Bubble Gang’ revamp: Who’s in, who’s out

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Marvel and Walt Disney’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness earned another $31.6 million (-50%) in its third domestic weekend, bringing its 17-day total to $342.1 million. That puts it above a deluge of recent big-deal superhero movies (sans inflation), including Thor: Ragnarök ($315 million), Iron Man ($318 million), Deadpool 2 ($324 million), Guardians of the Galaxy ($333 million), Aquaman ($334 million), Joker ($335 million) and Spider-Man 3 ($336 million). It’s going to still end up becoming the least leggy MCU movie ever, behind even Captain America: Civil War ($408 million from a $179 million debut) and Black Widow ($183 million/$80 million, Disney+ Premiere Access availability aside. Nonetheless, I’d partially chalk that up to the deluge of fans who showed up on opening weekend expecting a mythology episode. You had the “got to see the big event flick” audience in the first three days, … [Read more...] about Box Office: ‘Doctor Strange 2’ Tops $800 Million As ‘Everything, Everywhere’ Sets New A24 Record
