Now, the universe’s most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.”

Drake’s bounce track that inspired a viral dance challenge finally has an official video. The man who started the challenge, comedian Shiggy appears in the new video along with footage of other celebrities such as DJ Khaled, the cast of Stranger Things, Ciara and Will Smith, all of whom have done their own versions of the dance craze.

Shiggy appeared in the video with his signature dance moves from the dance challenge that is circulating on Instagram. He also gets to show some of his acting skills playing Drake’s assistant.

The nearly eight-minute long video, most of which shot on the streets of New Orleans, started with Drake professing his love to “Kiki,” played by actress La La Anthony and asking to take her out and see a movie. But it wasn’t easy under the watchful eye of her mom.

“Hello?! I want you to get your Jordans off my walkway. This not a Taye Diggs movie, sir. You’re a grown man. Carry your ass on home now,” her mom says, played by actress Phylicia Rashad. “I want you to leeeeave, and don’t forget to go when you leave!,” Rashad adds as Drake tries to plead his case.

Drake has been dominating the charts this year. The song debuted in the top 10 Billboard’s Hot 100 along with seven other tracks from his latest album. It then rose to no.1 the following week, essentially replacing his own song “Nice for What” at the top.

“In My Feelings” is from the Canadian musician’s chart-topping fifth studio album ‘Scorpion’. Watch the track’s new video below:

WYETH To Premiere As Part Of America Masters “Artists Flight” On September 7 On PBS

Posted on by

WYETH tells the story of one of America’s most popular, but least understood, artists – Andrew Wyeth. Son of the famous illustrator N.C. Wyeth, Andrew had his first exhibition at age 20, and his painting “Christina’s World” was acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in 1948. While Wyeth’s exhibitions routinely broke attendance records, art world critics continually assaulted his work.

Detailing the stunning drawings and powerful portraits he created in Chadds Ford, Pa. and on the coast of Cushing, Maine, WYETH explores his inspirations, including neighbor Christina Olsen and his hidden muse, the German model Helga Testorf, who he painted secretly for 15 years. Through unprecedented access to Wyeth’s family members, including sons Jamie and Nicholas Wyeth, and never-before-seen archival materials from the family’s personal collection and hundreds of Wyeth’s studies, drawings and paintings, American Masters presents the most complete portrait of the artist yet — bearing witness to a legacy just at the moment it is evolving.

Directed by Glenn Holsten, the film will be available on Digital HD on September 8 and on DVD September 11 via PBS Distribution.

David Bowie’s First Ever Recording Found in Bread Basket

Posted on by

By Eric Gasa

Even two years after his death in 2016, the world is still finding posthumous work from the legendary David Bowie. Before he was the singer/fashion icon known as Ziggy Stardust, Bowie, or then David Robert Jones, was an aspiring saxophone player for his teen band, The Konrads. In typical Bowie fashion, a long-lost demo recording from Bowie’s time with The Konrads has been recently discovered in of all places, a bread basket. The tape, recovered in the home of the band’s drummer, David Hadfield, is expected to auction for £13,000 and reveals a side of Bowie that few people knew.

Before the glam, platinum records, and sold-out stadiums, Bowie was just a 16-year-old performer fighting for his time in the spotlight. In fact, at the time of the recording Bowie was not even sure he wanted to be a vocalist.

“David had no inclination to become a singer at this point, his heart and mind were focused on becoming a world class saxophone player,” Hadfield explained to The Guardian. “Our agent, Eric Easton, who also managed the Rolling Stones, asked us to do a demo so he could try and get us an audition at Decca.”

Easton had persuaded the 16-year-old Bowie to lend his vocals on the song, “I Never Dreamed” but the song was unfortunately rejected by Decca Records. Taped in 1963, the demo is the very first recording of Bowie singing.

As the story goes, The Konrads failed to secure a record deal and Jones left the band. Six years later he reemerged as David Bowie, achieving stardom with 1969’s classic David Bowie, and it’s 1972 reissue Space Oddity.

The iconic singer died of cancer in January 2016. His last album, Blackstar was released as planned two days after the singer’s death, coinciding with his 69th birthday. Recorded in secret, Bowie’s swan song was meant as a parting gift to his fans upon his death.

Blackstar received Gold and Platinum certifications and won awards at the 2016 Grammys for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Rock Performance.

With the discovery of this long last demo, the world has another glimpse of the artist from the grave, only adding to the mystique and legacy of Bowie.

Hadfield’s recording will go on auction this September at Omega Auctions in Newton-le-Willows in Merseyside.
