deadline.com:

Salman Rushdie hinted in February that he was working on a memoir about the stabbing attack last year that nearly killed him and left him blind in one eye.

Now, the Booker Prize winner has announced that book will be called Knife and will be published by Penguin Random House on April 16, 2024.

Rushdie is best-known for novels such as Midnight’s Children and The Satanic Verses, some of which have been adapted for the screen.

The author told the New Yorker earlier this year that the new book, Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder, was conceived as a sort-of sequel to his 2012 memoir, Joseph Anton.

Queen’s Freddie Mercury thought ‘Somebody To Love’ was “better” than ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’

Queen’s Freddie Mercury thought ‘Somebody To Love’ was “better” than ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, according to a roadie who once worked with the band.Speaking to Greatest Hits Radio after ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ was named ‘greatest song of all time’ by over 6500 listeners, former roadie and author of Queen Uncovered Peter Hince remembers the band coming up with ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and Mercury’s thoughts on the track.Speaking to Greatest Hits Radio he explained: “The band were recording [album] ‘Night At The Opera’ and we were going around all these different studios in London and doing bits in each place so I was hearing bits and pieces of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, but I didn’t hear the whole thing for quite some time. I remember hearing the opera bit and thinking it’s going to be an introduction tape for the live show – I had no idea it was a song!”He continued: “The video is arguably what helped it become so huge in Britain…and the other thing is that, sadly, Freddie isn’t around anymore and it’s one of his legacies that piece of music so is still something people find very emotional.“Also, nothing really had been done like it before and probably nothing since – with all the technology now it is easier to get certain studio effects whereas with Queen it was all about spending enormous amounts of time and being incredibly innovative.

Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy was only supposed to come out for one ‘Renaissance’ tour show

Beyoncé‘s daughter Blue Ivy was reportedly only supposed to perform for one show on the ‘Renaissance‘ tour.In an interview with Sherri Shepherd, Beyoncé’s mother Tina Knowles revealed that she was initially “in tears” watching Blue Ivy, adding that Jay-Z “was grinning so hard, I thought his face would hurt.”Knowles added she was “nervous” when Blue Ivy came out to perform on the first night: “To get in front of 70,000 people at 11 is huge.”Beyoncé’s daughter made her ‘Renaissance’ debut in Paris, where she danced along to ‘My Power’.According to Knowles, Blue Ivy didn’t really understand the “magnitude” of what she was doing, instead saying that “she just loves to dance.” In fact, Knowles revealed that Beyoncé was initially against putting Blue Ivy on stage, but later changed her mind. “She was watching the girls rehearse and she said, ‘I think I’m ready to go on stage.’ And her mom said, ‘No, no, I don’t think so, Blue.’ And then she thought about it and she said, ‘If you work hard and you really come with it, then we’ll let you go one time.’ So it was supposed to be a one-time thing.”Eventually, that turned into the whole tour, with Knowles concluding: “It was magical.

Iggy Pop and Trevor Horn share feral cover of Depeche Mode’s ‘Personal Jesus’

Iggy Pop has joined forces with Trevor Horn to share a gritty cover of ‘Personal Jesus’ – check it out below.Shared by Depeche Mode back in 1990, the track has since gone on to be a fan favourite for the band and has been covered by an extensive list of other famous faces, including Johnny Cash.Now, Iggy Pop has become the latest to cover the iconic track and joined forces with Trevor Horn to create a more gritty, rustic version of the original.Surprisingly, the cover alongside the renowned record producer and musician marks the first time that the former frontman of The Stooges has put his name to the track – and the finished product sees him put a noticeably more rockabilly spin on the original.Check it out below.Shared as part of Horn’s forthcoming covers album, ‘Echoes – Ancient & Modern’, the cover with Iggy Pop stemmed from the singer wanting to try recording various approaches to his performance and stitch them all together to create a more rustic final result.“[Iggy] said: ‘I’ve heard the track, I’m going to do three takes where I gradually get crazier and crazier and then a fourth take where I speak it and that will be it. You don’t mind if I run my own session?’ I said, ‘No, go ahead’, and that’s exactly what he did,” said Horn, speaking about the approach (via Stereogum).“It’s Iggy, after all.

‘Hunger Games’ producer reveals if Jennifer Lawrence will return to franchise

Entertainment recently.“Honestly, as much as I love Katniss, I think her story is complete,” she went on. “And I think that Suzanne feels that her story is complete.”Jacobson added: “But if that changes, and Suzanne has something she wants to say, and it involves Katniss, then I would be thrilled.”“But really, any chance to be back in this world, and lead with [director Francis Lawrence] and Suzanne, I would take regardless of who it was about,” she noted.Lawrence, 52, who helmed every single “HG” installment including the most recent one, echoed the producer’s sentiments, saying: “If for whatever reason she had some thematic idea that made sense to tell another Katniss story, I’d be in, and then I’m sure Jen would be in.”“But it really all comes from theme and idea, and Suzanne,” he said.Jennifer has been enthusiastic about a possible Katniss return in the past.

Matthew Perry reflected on Julia Roberts romance, ‘flirty faxes’ before death: ‘I was not enough’

Matthew Perry was on cloud nine when his romance with Julia Roberts kicked off in the mid-’90s — and it all began via fax.“Somewhere in the world, there is a stack of faxes about two feet long — a two-foot-long courtship, filled with poems and flights of fancy and two huge stars falling for each other and connecting in a beautiful, romantic way,” Perry recalled in his 2022 memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.”Perry reflected on their relationship nearly one year before his tragic death at age 54 on Saturday. In his autobiography, he revealed that the two initially met when “Friends” co-creator Marta Kauffman urged him to woo her because the actress was interested in appearing on the NBC sitcom.“Turned out Julia had been offered the post-Super Bowl episode in my season two and she would only do the show if she could be in my storyline,” he wrote.“I thought long and hard about what to say on the card.

Barbra Streisand: Insulting comments about my ‘odd-looking’ face ‘hurt’

audio excerpt from her upcoming memoir “My Name Is Barbra,” Streisand detailed how she was mockingly labeled when she first began her Hollywood career in the early 1960s.Among the names she was called were “an amiable anteater, a sour persimmon, a furious hamster, a myopic gazelle, and a seasick ferret.”Despite the “Yentl” star feeling somewhat flattered by the words, she is “still kinda hurt by the insults” years later.When she appeared in the hit 1964 Broadway musical “Funny Girl,” her star quality rose to new heights and the media went from describing her as a weird animal to more statuesque monikers like “Babylonian queen” with a “pharaonic profile.”“I must say, I loved those descriptions,” she joked in her book, adding that she was told she had “scarab eyes.” While Streisand believed the phrase was a flattering remark at first, she revealed that “one of those eyes does look, well, a little cross-eyed at times.” “[I] can’t quite believe the praise,” she penned.
