Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP/REX/Shutterstock Miranda Lambert has been named the 2018 artist-in-residence at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
With the honor, the “Keeper of the Flame” singer-songwriter becomes the youngest artist announced to the position and only the third woman.
She’ll perform a pair of intimate concerts in September at the CMA Theater located inside the Hall of Fame building in downtown Nashville.
“The history that the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum holds is so important,” Lambert said in a statement.
“It’s truly an honor to be named artist-in-residence for the museum.
Other past artists-in-residence include Connie Smith, Rosanne Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Alan Jackson and Kenny Rogers.
Traditionally, the accompanying concerts highlight different aspects of the featured artist’s career.
Isbell, for instance, performed three shows in 2017, one with his band the 400 Unit, one with wife Amanda Shires and one with an array of guests, including Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch.
Lambert’s two concerts are set for September 19th and 26th.

Prince William and Prince Harry’s close friend, Nicholas van Cutsem, and Duchess Kate’s cousin, Lucy Middleton, were named two of Prince Louis of Cambridge’s six godparents Monday, ahead of his christening in the Chapel Royal of St. James’s Palace in London, where brother Prince George was baptized in 2013.
The 11-week-old baby prince, born April 23, is the third child of Prince William and Duchess Kate of Cambridge, and the fifth in line to the throne. He will be christened in a traditionally private ceremony in the chapel with a small party of his royal and Middleton relatives in attendance, plus the godparents.
Kensington Palace announced the godparents’ names early Monday. They are:
Expected to attend the ceremony are the baby’s parents, William and the former Kate Middleton; Prince George, who turns 5 on July 22; and Princess Charlotte, 3, who was christened in July 2015 at St. Mary Magdalene Church on the royal estate at Sandringham in Norfolk.

]]>“I’ll tell you what freedom is to me,” Nina Simone’s voice blared throughout Chicago’s United Center. “No fear.”
As the brief voiceover played, Radiohead settled on stage while frontman Thom Yorke took a pleased look around the sold-out arena, feeling right at home.
For the next two hours and 17 minutes (including the set’s double encore), Yorke embodied what it means to be fearless as he writhed about the stage with such intention that it made his 5’5” frame seem taller. Meanwhile, the five-piece band — consisting of drummer Phil Selway, bassist Colin Greenwood, guitarists Jonny Greenwood and Ed O’Brien and tour percussionist Clive Deamer — were the ringmasters of a sonic circus, each trading off tricks and collectively building a landscape of experimental sounds complete with looped maniacal laughter, courtesy of Yorke, and bowed guitar from Greenwood.
In late February, Radiohead announced it would embark on an 18-date North American headlining tour in July and August. On Friday (July 6), the tour kicked off with the first of two sold-out nights in Chicago. Without new music to promote, the main question on the minds of many was if the setlist would still be mostly filled with tracks from the band’s latest album, 2016’s A Moon Shaped…

]]>Zach LaVine’s four-year, $78 million offer sheet from the Kings, which the Bulls will match before Sunday night, seemed to engender approximately 78 million opinions about the guard’s value.
Time will tell if the contract becomes attractive or an albatross for the Bulls, who will get four seasons of a player — who won’t turn 24 until March 2019 — entering his prime.
But the hand-wringing over the effect on the Bulls’ books overlooks some simple math. This isn’t the salary cap of 2015-16, back before the influx of money from the NBA’s new TV deal caused a historic jump.
Think about it: LaVine’s deal starts at either $18.1 million in the first year or $19.5 million, per a source. If it’s the former, that represents 17.8 percent of next season’s $101.8 million cap, and his $19 million salary for 2019-20 represents 17.6 percent of the projected $108 million cap. The dollar-for-dollar contract comparisons to the $70 million cap from 2015-16 are a $12.46 million salary for 17.8 percent of the cap and $12.3 million for 17.6 percent.
Here are some players whose salaries from 2015-16 were at or near $12.3 million to $12.4 million: Robin Lopez, Rudy Gay, Serge Ibaka, Al Horford.

]]>The post ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ Director on the ‘Shocking’ Backlash to Marvel’s First Female Superhero Lead first appeared on PeekYou Blog - Revolutionary People Search Technology.
]]>When Peyton Reed inherited the mantle of Ant-Man director from Edgar Wright, who left midway through the Marvel caper he’d scripted about a hero who shrinks to fantastical bug-sized proportions, the idea of the Quantum Realm had not yet touched paper. It was Reed and co-writer Adam McKay who thought to create for the screen a version of the alternate dimension where human concepts of space and time become irrelevant, opening a Pandora’s Box of reality-bending possibilities.
Now, three years and one cataclysmic shift in the Marvel Cinematic Universe later, their idea may hold the key to reversing the cruelest events of Avengers: Infinity War—or so heartbroken fans might hope.
Ant-Man and the Wasp, Reed’s sunny sequel to his 2015 superhero-origin-heist-story starring Paul Rudd, comes on the heels of the darkest entry in the Marvel canon yet. Thanos, that purple menace now armed with all-powerful abilities, has decimated the Avengers and pulverized half the universe, including marquee heroes like Spider-Man, Black Panther, and the Guardians of the Galaxy (minus poor Rocket).
The decidedly bouncier Ant-Man and the Wasp takes place in the same timeframe, focusing on Scott Lang (Rudd) and Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) as they scour the Quantum Realm in search of the original Wasp, Hope’s mother Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer). Still, it references Infinity War just once before its own cliffhanger ending, a shock at such odds with the film’s zippy tone that Reed sounds at once satisfied, relieved, and half-apologetic discussing it.
“Even when we started working on the script, we knew what the ending of Infinity War was going to be, and we knew that we were going to come after that movie,” Reed says by phone from Los Angeles. “We kept sort of talking around the issue like, well, if it does tie into Infinity War, is it little news items on the TVs in the background? That didn’t seem very interesting to us.”
Reconciling his own film’s effervescence with the gravitas of what Marvel audiences beheld just two months before, he says, proved a puzzle his team mostly coped with through avoidance, “kicking the problem down the road” until there was no road left: “As we got closer, we arrived at this structure that is in the final movie that really appealed to us, where we’re doing our movie and we do the tone of our movie” and then, suddenly, “it does something very differently.”
“This whole thing where there’s a weird sense of entitlement that certain fans have about their ability to control the content of something in a weird way, or this thing where it’s like, ‘Star Wars is dudes, man, you can’t have women! You’ll ruin it!’ It’s so crazy to me. It’s OK to have a walrus creature or a robot, but not a woman?”
The Quantum Realm bestowed an even trickier blessing/curse. “The good news was that we could make it anything we wanted and it was virtually infinite. But that was also the bad news because there’s so much to deal with,” Reed says. An idea as vast and vague as a space and time-warping microverse (and not the same one as in the comics) was complicated further by how the mechanics assigned to it in Ant-Man and the Wasp might reverberate post-Infinity War.
Before Thanos snapped his fingers, allusions to time vortexes and quantum entanglement might have stayed mostly in Ant-Man’s sandbox. (And Doctor Strange, whose portal-opening sling rings allow access to the Quantum Realm, too.) After Infinity War, they sound tantalizingly like tools with the potential to help undo the Mad Titan’s devastation. That’s a universe of pressure on ant-sized shoulders.
“We really had lots of discussions about how much this movie and this intimate story about family and this mission to rescue Hope’s mom, how much we get to stay in and tell that story,” Reed says of balancing his San Francisco-set sequel’s grounded stakes with the cosmic implications of what it reveals about the Quantum Realm. His team decided, he says, on exploring “just enough” of the dimension to propel the van Dynes’ search forward, while leaving “little hints of other stuff” for future Marvel movies to build on.
Audiences by now know to expect that they will. Ten years and 20 films in, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has woven an unprecedentedly consistent tapestry of shared details, histories, and characters, from the high fantasy of Asgard and the Guardians’ galactic domain, to the sociopolitical intrigue surrounding Captain America and Black Panther, to Peter Parker’s high school hijinks in Queens.
Ant-Man and the Wasp, however, adds a singular new thread, one whose omission has glared conspicuously from…

The five-hour, 31-minute marathon further taxed the bullpen for Tampa Bay (43-42), with Matt Andriese expected to start Wednesday in Miami after the teams played extra-inning games in the first two contests of the three-game series.
The Rays, continuing their strategy of using relievers as starters, scrapped a scheduled start by Ryne Stanek for the second day in a row, opting to use him in extra innings Monday and Tuesday instead of opening the following day.
Stanek was originally scheduled to start Tuesday, but came in for the 10th inning Monday night. He walked the first batter and then gave up two hits, taking the loss without recording an out to briefly give himself an infinite ERA for his career against the Marlins.
He was then slated to start Wednesday, but came in and pitched the 12th inning Tuesday night, striking out the side to push the game to the 13th inning. He added another scoreless frame, but that took him out of his…

]]>England qualified for the quarter-finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup on Tuesday with a win over Colombia, needing penalties to advance. Harry Kane and Yerry Mina scored in regulation, leading to a 1-1 final score, and England won 4-3 in the shootout.
The result means the Three Lions will face Sweden on Saturday, as they continue their quest for a first title since 1966.
Here are the key takeaways from the final match of the round of 16.
New-Look England Show It’s a New Era by Overcoming Penalty Trauma
England’s young squad showed its inexperience by folding like a deck chair in the final minutes of regulation against Colombia and were completely overrun in the first period of extra time. They also showed a different side to this new squad, however—the mental fortitude to win a penalty shootout.
Before Tuesday, the Three Lions had the worst record in shootouts in World Cup history. In three attempts, the team had never advanced.
It’s no wonder people were ecstatic after the win:
roger bennett
WHAT IS THIS EMOTION THAT I AM FEELING? ENGLAND JUST WON A PENALTY SHOOT OUT. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD LIVE TO SEE THIS DAY. EVERYTHING IN LIFE FEELS SUDDENLY POSSIBLE. GOD BLESS YOU JORDAN PICKFORD. GOD BLESS YOU ERIC DIER. GOD BLESS YOU FOOTBALL
It’s too early to suggest this historical event will lead to World Cup success, as the team showed many serious issues we’ll get to in a bit. But there’s reason for optimism as well, as this bunch of talented players has already impressed in Russia. Even if this isn’t the year—and it still might be—the future is very bright for England.
Kane’s Goal Saves England from Succumbing to Chaos
Tuesday’s match wasn’t a showcase of technical ability, but it brought plenty of excitement for other reasons. Both teams started to lose their composure late in the first half, and Colombia, in particular, continued after the break, with a ton of dirty fouls and bookings to follow.
England’s penalty was a logical consequence, but there was far more drama….

On July 3rd, the entertainer, who made his big screen debut a year earlier in the Robert Redford-Jane Fonda film, The Electric Horseman, attended the world premiere of Honeysuckle Rose, which would mark his first appearance in a lead role. The following day, Nelson hosted his eighth annual Fourth of July Picnic on the 20-acre golf course of his Pedernales Country Club with a crowd of 60,000 braving the stifling heat for what Nelson had announced at the time would be his final July 4th picnic event. After a two-year hiatus, the picnic would return, taking place in Atlanta in 1983 before returning to Austin the following year.
The Honeysuckle Rose premiere at Austin’s Capital Plaza Cinema was attended by Nelson, accompanied by his then-wife, Connie, along with co-stars Dyan Cannon, Slim Pickens, director Jerry Schatzberg and the film’s producer, Sydney Pollack, who also directed Nelson in his previous film role. Others on hand for the auspicious event included actress (and Texan) Sissy Spacek, fresh from her role as Loretta Lynn in Coal Miner’s Daughter.

“everyone that came to visit you, came with love, respect, and so much pride in their hearts for you. proud of you, proud to be your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, proud to have your strength and share the dynasty you spent your life creating, and proud to be a jackson,” Paris continued. “you are the first true jackson. the legend that started it all. none of us would be anywhere near where we’re at if it weren’t for you. you are the strongest man i know. your life’s work will go down in history, as will you, to be known as one of the greatest patriarchs to ever live.”
She went on to write, “i will cherish every moment with you til the day i die, especially our last moments. being able to hold your hand, lay with you and cuddle you, give you kisses all over your cheeks and forehead, meant more to me than you’ll…

]]>SAMARA, Russia (AP) — Brazil captain Thiago Silva is hoping Neymar plays as well as some of his Paris Saint-Germain teammates have done in the knockout round of the World Cup.
Teenager Kylian Mbappe scored a pair of goals in France’s 4-3 victory over Argentina, sending Lionel Messi out of the tournament. Edinson Cavani then scored both goals in Uruguay’s 2-1 victory that eliminated Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Perhaps some of that PSG magic will strike on Monday when Brazil faces Mexico at Samara Arena.
”We hope tomorrow will be a great day and that Neymar is inspired as much as the other players,” said Silva, who also plays for Paris Saint-Germain.
Neymar drew concern early in the tournament because of what appeared to be a right ankle injury following the team’s 1-1 draw with Switzerland. He was fouled 10 times during the match and later was seen limping after practice before the team’s second match against Costa Rica, but the team said it was only a precaution.
The Brazilian soccer confederation has said Neymar’s ankle problem had nothing to do with the foot injury that sidelined him for about three months earlier this year. Brazil coach Tite said before the tournament started that Neymar wouldn’t likely…

It’s been a month of headline-making for Drake, and the rapper finally dropped his latest album. Drake’s Scorpion already broke single-day streaming records, and is in a good position to have the most-streamed week in music history. The highly anticipated album shattered records on both Apple Music and Spotify, breaking a record held by the star’s last album, More Life. According to the Associated Press, Scorpion got 170 million streams worldwide in the first 24 hours on Apple Music. Spotify streams were over 132 million in the first 24 hours, according to Rolling Stone. These shocking numbers put the album on track to hit over a billion streams for its first week, which would set yet another record.
The 25-track album already features two chart-topping singles, including the God’s Plan and Nice For What. Drake’s latest effort also boasts several notable collaborations, including JAY-Z and Ty Dolla $ign. There’s even a track that features a previously unreleased Michael Jackson sample, and one with vocals by Mariah Carey. It’s bound to be one of the major releases of the year, and given the hype around the album and the initial streaming numbers, Scorpion is expected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Charts. “God’s Plan”, the first single from the release, peaked at No.1 on the charts in March, and it was the rapper’s 21st chart-topping song.

]]>There was never a doubt that Kevin Durant would re-sign with the back-to-back NBA champions, but there were questions as to how long his deal might be.
On July 1, the first day of free agency, the nine-time NBA All-Star intends to sign a one-and-one deal to remain with the Golden State Warriors, league sources told ESPN.
The second year will contain a player option, sources say.
The contract is for $30 million for next year and $31.5 million for the option year, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks.
The $5 million savings this year offsets the $5.3 million midlevel tax if Golden State elects to use it. Durant would save the Warriors $20 million in projected luxury-tax costs.
Durant, 30, the winner of the past two Finals MVP awards, insures that the Hamptons Five of Durant, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala will be in Warriors’ uniforms for at least one more season.
Golden State has won three championships in four years and is aimed and well-equipped to secure more.

]]>The post The unexpected superheroes of summer? Mister Rogers and RBG first appeared on PeekYou Blog - Revolutionary People Search Technology.
]]>NEW YORK — Escapism is usually the domain of big-budget spectacles, but a pair of blockbuster documentaries has caught on at the summer box office partly because they’re a respite from today’s headlines.
The Fred Rogers documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” and the Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg portrait “RBG” have each played to some of the season’s most packed theaters. In eight weeks, “RBG” has made $10.9 million, a mammoth sum for any documentary. Morgan Neville’s “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” has grossed $4.1 million in three weeks, including $1.9 million last weekend at 348 theaters.
Both movies have cracked the top 10 movies at the box office, ranking an 85-year-old justice and a deceased Presbyterian minister in multiplexes alongside Spandexed superheroes and supernatural thrillers. Documentaries, often sober counter-programming for the summer months, are instead supplying the movie season’s most potent wellspring of feel-good inspiration — particularly to liberal moviegoers.
“It’s an escape from what they’re reading every day in the newspapers or online. These are both messages of positivity and how people’s good character can triumph over horrible situations,” said Eamonn Bowles, president of Magnolia Pictures, which partnered with Participant Media and CNN to distribute “RBG.”
“There’s a huge swath of our country that’s horribly dissatisfied,” added Bowles. “RBG and Fred Rogers, their sensibilities lie in helping other people. Our current administration seems to want to basically hurt people who are in need and not see past the greater humanity involved.”
Rogers and Ginsburg both broke through in the late ’60s and early ’70s. “Mr. Rogers Neighborhood” made its national debut in 1968. Ginsburg rose to prominence four years later when she co-founded the Women’s Rights Project at the ACLU. Both were modest, soft-spoken people driven by a sense of empathy and a belief in community.
“Fred was telling 2- to 6-year-olds how to be people and how to treat other people. And it feels like we all need to be sat down and be taught that lesson again,” said Neville. “He tried to teach us how…

]]>Getty Images
POTOMAC, Md. – In the arc of Tiger Woods’ most recent comeback the progression back to competitive relevance has been both patient and predictable.
From those early days at the Hero World Challenge when he preached patience and cautious optimism to more familiar comments in recent weeks suggesting he’s ready to dive into the deep end of the competitive pool and win on the PGA Tour for the first time in nearly five years. “I think as the years progress, I’m not that far away from putting it together where I can win,” he said on Friday under a blazing summer sun at the Quicken Loans National. “Right now I’m only four back. The scores aren’t going to be that low, the golf course is getting a little bit more difficult. Again, just be patient with it and a long way to go.”
That’s light years from where we began, from those uncertain days last December in the Bahamas when he reasoned, “I don’t know what the future entails.”
This week’s Washington, D.C., stop is Woods’ 11th official event and with each passing week those unknowns have been drawn into focus. Each tournament has been a test of his swing and his body and even his competitive zeal.
He played back-to-back weeks in February – on two coasts, no less – as the ultimate beta test of his surgically fused back.
Body: Check.
He pieced 3 1/2 solid rounds together at the Honda Classic and closed the gap even closer at the Valspar Championship when he lost to Paul Casey by a stroke.
Game: Check.
Although his consistency hasn’t been what he’d like in the chapters since Florida – specifically his putting which prompted Tiger’s wholesale change to a mallet-headed putter this week at TPC Potomac – each missed opportunity has added one more check on his comeback itinerary.
It is telling that those who have watched Tiger from the best vantage point don’t see the same guy who made red and black a Sunday staple….

]]>Remember when Drake was just a disabled ex-basketball star attending a fictional Canadian high school? Nobody would ever have guessed that he would eventually become one of the most beloved and successful icons in the music world.
From barely scraping by to getting into bar fights with Chris Brown over Rhianna, the rollercoaster ride that is Drake’s life has taken many twists and turns in a relatively short period of time. We’ve examined Drake’s life and found some little-known facts about what has happened to him on his way to becoming the pinnacle of artistry within his genre of music.
Drake isn’t the only famous musician in his family. Keep reading to learn more.

Most people know him as “Jimmy” from Degrassi or “Drake” from his music career. However, he was born Aubrey Drake Graham on October 24, 1986, Ontario, Canada. In order to still keep part of his given name for his music career, he decided to use his middle name for his musical identity.
His father is an African American from Memphis, Tennessee and his mother is a Jewish Canadian. As a boy, he attended a Jewish day school and even had a Bar Mitzvah ceremony. He also holds dual citizenship to both the United States and Canada.

If you thought that Drake was the only successful musician in the family, you’d be sadly mistaken. Music was a big part of Drake’s upbringing with his father Dennis Graham working as a drummer for rock and roll superstar Jerry Lee Lewis. Also, his uncle played the bass guitar for Sly and the Family Stone and Prince.
Even on his mother’s side, there was a lot of musical influence on Drake as a boy. Music even brought his parents together, and the two met after Dennis performed at the Clue Bluenote where he first interacted with his mother, Sandra.

After his parents divorced when he was five, he was raised by his mother in Toronto, Canada. His mother instilled Jewish traditions in Drake as a young boy, which later proved to make things difficult for Drake growing up. While in high school, Drake was the minority attending an all-white school. Not only was Drake African American, but he was also Jewish which truly set him apart from his peers.
During that time, he felt isolated explaining that “nobody understood what it was like to be black and Jewish.” Luckily, for Drake, he saw this as an opportunity to grow himself into a stronger person and rely on himself rather than the opinions of others.

While attending high school, Drake showed an interest for the arts and even scored his first acting gig while still serving as a full-time student. Although he was originally attending Forest Hill Collegiate Academy, he later transferred to Vaughan Road Academy in the multicultural academy of Oakwood-Vaughan.
His peers came from more affluent families which is when things became especially difficult for Drake. It was during this time that the hip-hop star decided to pursue acting as a full-time career and dropped out of high school. He would eventually finish high school in 2012.

Eager to become an actor, when he was just 15, a friend introduced Drake to his father, who happened to be an acting agent. The two worked together, and Drake landed a role on the Canadian teen drama series Degrassi: The Next Generation. He played the character of basketball star Jimmy Brooks who eventually lost the use of his legs after being the victim of a school shooting.
While acting on Degrassi, he was essentially supporting he and his mother who was very sick at the time. He acted on the show from 2001 until 2007, appearing in 145 episodes.

With minor success with his mixtapes in the mid-2000s, Drake was considering taking a day job. His character had been eliminated from Degrassi, and it didn’t look like his music career was going anywhere. While running out of money from his acting stint, his music career was also looking bleak.
He even thought about giving everything up” and “getting a job in a restaurant or something” to keep his head above water. That was the plan until Lil Wayne called him and asked if he wanted to join the Carter III tour.

It wasn’t until 2009 that Drake came into the limelight. Although he had accrued a group of supportive fans over the years, it was his third mixtape So Far Gone that turned him into a sensation overnight. The mixtape contained some of Drakes most classic tracks such as “Best I Ever Had” and “Successful,” which both did unexpectedly well on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song “Successful” was a collaboration with Trey Songz and Lil Wayne which went gold and was named one of Rolling Stone’s 25 Best Songs of 2009.

In 2009, while performing on the “America’s Most Wanted Tour,” he fell on stage and tore his ACL, which ended up requiring surgery. He had already torn his ACL a few weeks prior but decided to go on tour anyway.
He told MTV News, “I didn’t really get any approval from my doctor,…

Jam and Balvin know not to mess with a good thing, so the instrumental remains unchanged on the “X” remix. Ozuna handles the first verse, lobbing come-ons across the dance floor in his tender, instantly recognizable tone, changing up his vocal patterns at will. He also shouts out the native countries of all the participating singers, one of his favorite tactics – see “Siguelo Bailando,” one of his standout singles from last year.

Earlier this year it was revealed she would join the likes of Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and Mariah Carey when she announced plans for her Just A Girl residency. Last night (June 27), the 48-year-old took over Zappos Theatre for the first performance, and she made sure to play all of her biggest hits. “This is a crazy night, okay, because this is the first night. I’ll remember this for the rest of my life, so you guys have a huge responsibility,” she told fans in the audience before promising to deliver an “epic night.” Opening the show with her sing-along “Hollaback Girl,” she worked through an impressive setlist including solo material and anthems from her time with No Doubt.
Considering her rich discography, expectations were high for Gwen to hit on her biggest contributions to pop. And the final setlist surely pays tribute to her impressive career. No Doubt classics like “It’s My Life” and “Hella Good” received plenty of love. As did material off the siren’s earliest solo efforts, Love Angel Music Baby and The Sweet Escape. Several tracks off 2016’s This Is What The Truth Feels Like such as lead single “Used To Love You” and “Misery” also made it to the final list. Boasting multiple costumes and bold set pieces, the show is shaping up to be a must-see event.

Johnny Depp’s former girlfriend Vanessa Paradis missed the screening of her new film “A Knife in the Heart” because Jack Depp — one of the children the former couple share — was reportedly seriously ill.
