Dolly Parton has defended her decision to keep a duet with Kid Rock on the tracklist of her new album ‘Rockstar’, arguing that cancel culture is “terrible”.Kid Rock appears for a duet with Parton on the track ‘Either Or’, but courted controversy earlier this year when he hit out at Anheuser-Busch over its partnership with trans activist and influencer Dylan Mulvaney, who is a Bud Light brand influencer.Rock posted a video of himself using a semi-automatic rifle to shoot bullets at several cases of Bud Light which had been placed on top of a table by a river.“Grandpa is feeling a little frisky today.

It was recorded prior to the Bud Light incident.“Somebody was talking to me the other day: ‘How could you do this [song] with Kid?’” she said.

Escaping Twin Flames unravels various allegations behind the controversial online organisation, Twin Flames Universe.Created by Jeff and Shaleia Divine in 2017, the organisation claims to help people find their “twin flame union” through coaching sessions and various exercises designed to attract their supposed soulmate.Members are also recruited to work for the organisation as coaches at the “Twin Flame Ascension School” in order to help others find their so-called union.As shown in the documentary, the organisation has been accused of exploitation, coercion and emotional abuse from ex-members, who claim they were encouraged into stalking behaviour, to switch gender identities and to cut off family members.Since it was first launched, Twin Flames Universe has expanded with books, in-person workshops and has also become a religion named Church Of Union.In a statement addressing the Netflix series, along with an Amazon series titled Desperately Seeking Soulmate, Twin Flames Universe founders Jeff and Shaleia Divine claim the productions “distort” and “misrepresent” their “true aims” as a group.“We take seriously recent allegations implying we wield inappropriate control over our community members,” the statement reads. “After a careful review of both media coverage and recent productions, we are saddened that so much effort has gone into taking swipes at an organisation and community founded on love and mutual respect.“The allegations levied against Twin Flames Universe not only distort our true aims, methods and curriculums but also misrepresent the autonomy of our community members, who are free to engage with our resources as they see fit.

Guns ‘N’ Roses and their management for copyright infringement and sexual harassment allegedly perpetrated by the band’s manager Fernando Lebeis.Katarina Benzova filed a lawsuit on Saturday (November 11) which states that she worked on a freelance basis for Guns ‘N’ Roses between 2010 and 2022 across 364 concerts.Guns N’ Roses, Gundam LLC (the band’s business and holding company), Team Brazil and Lebeis are listed as the defendants in the case.The suit claims that the band and their team committed copyright infringement on Benzova’s photos “through the reproduction, public display, distribution, creation of derivative works, and holding out of Benzova’s photographs for licenses and sale to third party publications after termination of any right to do so,” and altered various photographs in order to cover infringement and falsely claim ownership of them.Benzova also alleges in the suit that Lebeis had made unwanted sexual advances towards her on numerous occasions since he began managing Guns ‘N’ Roses in 2016. The suit claims Lebeis became aggressive and hostile when Benzova repeatedly rejected him, and it even escalated to “name-calling, ridicule, demeaning remarks, humiliation, bullying, and lying.”In addition, Benzova alleges that Lebeis eventually lowered her fee without notifying her, withheld payments from her, moved her to cheaper hotels during travel, demanded she pay out of pocket for travel expenses that Team Brazil promised to cover and refused to credit her for her photos.Furthermore, she claims that her efforts to use written contracts with the band were ignored.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Ridley Scott’s “Napoleon,” an epic look at the French emperor and military leader’s rise to power, is one of the final potential awards hopefuls awaiting its first reactions from critics and pundits. As awards season approaches, Variety has learned exclusively which Oscar categories the film will be submitted for. Most notably, Vanessa Kirby will vie for best supporting actress.

Ridley Scott may have sung the praises of Fede Alvarez‘s upcoming sequel “Alien: Romulus,” but he doesn’t feel the same about “Top Gun: Maverick.” JoBlo reports that at the recent DGA Latino Summit, Alvarez said Scott was unimpressed with the sequel to his brother Tony Scott‘s 1986 original. In Scott’s words: “My brother’s was original and this is like eh.”   READ MORE: Ridley Scott Says He Has A “Fantastic” 270-Minute Director’s Cut Of ‘Napoleon’ That Focuses More On Vanessa Kirby’s Josephine Alvarez brought up the anecdote when speaking about how tough Scott is on follow-ups to his films, which is something the director was afraid of regarding his “Alien” sequel.

LOL, at Ridley Scott and “Napoleon” to borrow the boastful phrase, “I’m built different”—did Andrew Tate come up with that one?—and tweak it to, “I’m not built like other men,” in his new trailer for this war epic. It’s slightly comical to hear modern verbiage in period movies and period movie trailers, but hey, it’s not the first time.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director “Don’t Breathe” and “Evil Dead” director Fede Álvarez is reviving the “Alien” franchise next year with the release of a new sequel (reportedly titled “Alien: Romulus“), which he co-wrote with Rodo Sayagues. The film will tell a new story within the “Alien” universe after the film franchise came to a halt following Ridley Scott‘s prequel films “Prometheus” (2012) and “Alien: Covenant” (2017). The latter’s middling box office ended Scott’s run.

Even though he didn’t direct “Alien 3” or “Alien: Resurrection,” the “Alien” franchise is arguably Ridley Scott‘s.

“He came from nothing. He conquered everything.” So goes the tagline for Ridley Scott‘s upcoming historical epic “Napoleon,” in theaters this Thanksgiving.
