Melanie Safka 'Brand New Key' Singer ... Dead at 76

Melanie Safka -- otherwise just known as "Melanie" -- has died ... according to her team.

The sad news came courtesy of the singer's PR firm, which announced her death on Tuesday -- but which didn't disclose any official cause, or the exact circumstances. Her children also confirmed her passing to various outlets.

Melanie is, perhaps, most famous for singing at the OG Woodstock back in '69 ... where she crooned as one of just a few solo female performers that year, and left quite an impression on the audience. In fact, her experience at Woodstock went on to inspire more music.

One song she ended up writing in the wake of that was 'Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)' -- and it apparently had to do with people doing exactly that at the historic gathering.

A couple years after her big Woodstock gig ... Melanie came out with a single that put her on the map, and it was called 'Brand New Key,' which went on to become her biggest hit.

The song ended up being featured across a number of different mediums over the years -- most notably in 'Boogie Nights' during Dirk Diggler's porn audition with Rollergirl. If you've seen the movie, you probably remember this well ... it left an impression.

'BNK' was also heard in 'Jackass 3-D' ... as well as on shows like 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' 'The Bridge' and 'Doctor Who,' -- not to mention on late-night shows, plus 'American Idol' and 'The Voice.' Indeed, it was very popular through the decades.

Other tracks she'll be remembered for ... 'What Have They Done to My Song Ma,' 'Ruby Tuesday,' 'The Saddest Thing,' 'Bitter Bad,' 'Ring the Living Bell,' 'The Nickel Song,' and more.

Melanie continued working in and around music late into her life -- including meeting up with stars like Miley Cyrus and other contemporary folks/rock singers who carried on the torch.

Word is ... Melanie was actually working on a new album as recently as this month, one in which she'd be doing covers. She was 76.

Pauly Shore Envía nuevo mensaje a Richard Simmons... Mira el corto con el corazón abierto

012424_pauly_shore_kal
Míralo con el Corazón abierto
BACKGRID

Pauly Shore todavía espera obtener la bendición de Richard Simmons antes de rodar una película sobre su vida y piensa que su cortometraje es clave.

El actor y comediante estaba en el aeropuerto de Hollywood Burbank este miércoles cuando un fotógrafo le preguntó si tenía algún mensaje para el recluso gurú del fitness. En pocas palabras, Pauly le está suplicando a Richard que vea "The Court Jester" en YouTube y que mantenga el corazón abierto mientras lo hace.

Pauly dice que cree que tiene una oportunidad de convencer a Richard si ve el corto, que se estrenó en Sundance el viernes por la noche. Pero no quiere que lo descarte de antemano.

Ahora, tampoco va a rechazar la crítica constructiva. Pauly dice que quiere la retroalimentación honesta de Richard y que estaría dispuesto a hacer cambios.

Curiosamente, Pauly dice que quiere a Richard a bordo como un colaborador a tiempo completo para la película biográfica. Él incluso se los imagina sentados en el set con sillas de director a juego con la palabra "Richard".

En resumen, dice que está avanzando con el proyecto, pero hay un montón de espacio para Simmons si está interesado en salir a la superficie, lo que dudamos mucho.

Pauly Shore 1/18/24
Él cambiará de opinión... creo
BACKGRID

Esta saga ha estado haciendo sudar a los fans durante un par de semanas. La semana pasada, Richard dejó claro que no estaba de ninguna manera involucrado con el proyecto de Pauly y para hacer su punto incluso rompió su silencio público a través de Facebook, lo que ha hecho solo dos veces en una década.

Pauly claramente no se desanima por la condena de Richard. Ha insistido en que Richard podría cambiar de opinión, y la semana pasada, antes del estreno de "The Court Jester", sugirió que el icono de 75 años se estaba ablandando.

Richard nos desea buena suerte
TMZ.com

Afirma que Richard le envió un mensaje de texto a primera hora del día para desearle "buena suerte" en Sundance.

Por cierto, "The Court Jester" está ganando audiencia en línea. Ya acumula 886k visitas en YouTube en menos de una semana y Pauly está instando a todos, pero especialmente a Richard, a que hagan clic y lo vean por sí mismos.

Pauly Shore New Message to Richard Simmons ... Watch Short Film with Open Heart

WATCH WITH AN OPEN HEART
BACKGRID

Pauly Shore's still hoping he'll get Richard Simmons' blessing before shooting a feature film about his life ... and he thinks his short film's the key to securing it.

The actor/comedian was at the Hollywood Burbank Airport Wednesday when a photog asked if he had a message for the reclusive fitness guru. In a nutshell, Pauly's pleading with Richard to watch "The Court Jester" on YouTube and keep an open heart while he does it.

PS says he thinks he's got a shot at convincing Richard if he sees the flick -- which premiered at Sundance on Friday night -- but he just doesn't want him to flat-out dismiss it beforehand.

Now, he's not going to turn down constructive criticism ... Pauly says he wants Richard's honest feedback, and he's willing to make changes.

Interestingly, Pauly says he wants Richard on board as a full-time collaborator for the feature-length biopic -- he even envisions them with matching "Richard" director chairs on the set.

Bottom line ... Pauly says he's moving forward with the project -- but there's a whole lotta room for Simmons' touch if he's interested in surfacing ... which we highly doubt.

Pauly Shore 1/18/24
HE'LL COME AROUND ... I THINK
BACKGRID

This saga's been making fans sweat for a couple weeks -- last week, Richard made it clear he was in no way involved with Pauly's project ... and to get his point across he even broke his public silence via Facebook, which he's only done twice in about a decade.

Pauly's clearly not deterred by Richard's condemnation ... he's insisted Richard might just change his mind -- and last week, before the 'Court Jester' premiere, he suggested the 75-year-old icon was softening.

He claims Richard texted him earlier in the day to wish him "good luck" at Sundance.

BTW 'Court Jester' is gaining an audience online, racking up 886k views on YouTube in less than a week -- and Pauly's urging everyone, but especially Richard, to click and see for themselves.

Kevin Spacey Heading To Horror Con After Acquittal ... Social Media Users Object

Kevin Spacey's getting back into the public eye after his acquittal in London last summer ... and a lot of people are none too happy about it -- which they're making quite clear.

Here's the deal ... the controversial actor's scheduled to appear at Mad Monster Party 2024 in North Carolina next month -- a three-day convention dedicated to all things horror/pop culture. Other stars like Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Taryn Manning, Jason Patric and more are attending the event as well.

Clearly, organizers are jazzed at KS' inclusion ... touting his accolades and selling pro photo-ops for big money -- no selfies allowed at the autograph table. If you want a pic, you'll have to shell out $225.

The photo opportunities are themed too ... Friday, Feb 16 they'll set one up for "The Usual Suspects"-type pic, Saturday's for "Se7en" and Sunday, Feb. 18 will see Kevin take "House of Cards" pics -- basically, Spacey's greatest hits.

Now, it didn't take long for people to voice their outrage ... with a good handful of folks saying in unequivocal terms they find the organizers reprehensible for giving Spacey a platform after all of the allegations leveled against him. Just check their comments.

In essence, a lot of fans don't seem to care Kevin was acquitted last year on a host of charges -- as we previously reported, Spacey was found not guilty of nine total counts based on a host of sexual assault allegations in a London court last year after a lengthy trial.

He's also been sued in New York for a different alleged sexual assault ... a massage therapist is claiming the 64-year-old made unwanted and inappropriate sexual advances toward him during three 90-minute sessions back in 2016.

Kevin Spacey Se dirige a una convención de horror tras ser absuelto... La gente de redes se opone

Kevin Spacey está volviendo al ojo público después de su absolución en Londres el verano pasado y un montón de gente no está demasiado contenta, y lo están dejando muy claro.

Esta es la cuestión, el controvertido actor tiene previsto aparecer en la fiesta Mad Monster Party 2024 en Carolina del Norte el próximo mes, una convención de tres días dedicada a todo lo relacionado con la cultura pop y el terror. Otras estrellas como Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Taryn Manning, Jason Patric y más asistirán al evento.

Claramente, los organizadores están entusiasmados con la inclusión de Kevin Spacey, promocionando sus elogios y vendiendo sus fotos por mucho dinero. No se permiten selfies en la mesa de autógrafos. Si quieres una foto, tendrás que desembolsar 225 dólares.

Las oportunidades fotográficas también son temáticas. El viernes 16 de febrero será inspirada en "The Usual Suspects", el sábado en "Se7en" y el domingo 18 de febrero, con Kevin para "House of Cards". Básicamente, todos los grandes éxitos de Spacey.

Ahora, no pasó mucho tiempo para que la gente expresara su indignación, con un buen puñado de personas diciendo que encuentran censurables a los organizadores por darle una plataforma a Spacey después de todas las acusaciones formuladas en su contra. No hay más que ver sus comentarios.

En esencia, a muchos fans no parece importarles que Kevin fuera absuelto el año pasado de una serie de cargos. Como informamos anteriormente, el año pasado Spacey fue declarado inocente en un tribunal de Londres, después de un largo juicio, de un total de nueve cargos basados en una serie de acusaciones de agresión sexual.

También ha sido demandado en Nueva York por un supuesto asalto sexual diferente. Un terapeuta de masajes está alegando que el hombre de 64 años hizo insinuaciones sexuales no deseadas e inapropiadas hacia él durante tres sesiones de 90 minutos en 2016.

Hillary Clinton Margot y Greta, ustedes son ganadoras... Habla sobre los desaires a 'Barbie' en los Oscar

Margot Robbie y Greta Gerwig tienen a un nuevo campeón en su esquina destrozando el hecho de que no fueran nominadas a los Oscar, nada menos que Hillary Clinton.

La ex-Secretaria de Estado, y una vez candidata presidencial, acaba de tuitear sobre las muy debatidas nominaciones que se anunciaron este martes y es parte de los que piensa que fue un desaire atroz de parte de los miembros de la Academia, especialmente a la luz de la nominación de Ryan Gosling.

Hillary Clinton escribió: "Greta y Margot, aunque puede doler ganar la taquilla, pero no llevarse el oro a casa, sus millones de fans las aman. Ambas son mucho más que Kenough".

También lanzó su propio y divertido hashtag para rematar su punto, añadiendo: "#HillaryBarbie".

Hillary es solo la última persona que está criticando las nominaciones. Recuerden, el propio Ryan denunció el hecho de que su coprotagonista y directora no hayan sido reconocidas, a pesar de que él mismo consiguió una nominación como Mejor Actor de Reparto.

Dijo: "Ningún reconocimiento sería posible para nadie en la película sin su talento, valentía y genialidad. Decir que me decepciona que no estén nominados en sus respectivas categorías sería quedarme corto". Asimismo, también alabó la nominación de America Ferrera.

Hablando de America, ella también ha criticado la exclusión de Margot y Greta, sumándose a la indignación colectiva que gran parte de Internet ha expresado en las últimas 24 horas.

Margot y Greta no han dicho nada al respecto, pero la gente les cubre las espaldas.

Dato curioso sobre la composición de la Academia el año pasado: parece que el 33% de los miembros con derecho a voto son mujeres o se identifican como mujeres, así que sí, parece que hay más hombres que mujeres. Es difícil decir si eso está detrás de que estas dos no hayan sido seleccionadas, pero es interesante.

De todos modos, el coro de abucheos sobre esto continúa, ahora con Hillary entre ellos.

Hillary Clinton Speaks on 'Barbie' Snubs ... Y'all Are Winners, Margot & Greta

Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig have a new champion in their corner trashing the fact they weren't nominated for Oscars -- with none other than Hillary Clinton chirping up.

The ex-Sec. of State -- and one-time presidential candidate -- just tweeted about the hotly-debated nominations heard around the world Tuesday ... and she's in the camp that this was an egregious snub from Academy members ... especially in light of Ryan Gosling's nod.

HC wrote, "Greta & Margot, While it can sting to win the box office but not take home the gold, your millions of fans love you. You’re both so much more than Kenough."

She also threw in her own little fun hashtag to cap off her point, adding ... "#HillaryBarbie."

Hillary is just the latest person to slam the non-nominations -- remember, Ryan himself actually denounced the fact his costar/director didn't receive recognition ... even though he himself got a Best Supporting Actor nomination.

He said, "No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius. To say that I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement." Likewise, he also praised America Ferrera's nom.

Speaking of America ... she, too, slammed Margot and Greta's exclusion -- just piling on top of the collective outrage most of the Internet has been expressing over the past 24 hours.

Fun fact about the Academy's makeup as of last year -- it looks like 33% of voting members are women or female-identifying ... so yes, there does seem to be more guys than gals. Hard to say if that's behind these two not getting selected or not ... but it is interesting.

Anyway, the chorus of boos over this continues ... now, HC is in on the hissing.

SOFIA VERGARA 'MY BOOBS & BODY MADE ME FAMOUS!' ... Sorry, Not Sorry!!

Sofia Vergara ain't apologizing for being hot ... saying it's absurd to think her giant breasts and amazing figure weren't the reason behind her fame.

The actress says her looks were her passport to the world as a young model at 20 ... telling Spanish newspaper El País feeling bad about the hand that fed her won't cut it -- especially cause she's still a massive name decades later at 51.

Sofia says she learned to play to her strengths early on ... after realizing boys started giving her attention and treating her differently.

Though, she says if you're only fixating on her boobs, then that's a you problem ... cause her bubbly personality is behind her longevity in the entertainment business.

Sofia says she's not performing brain surgery ... so the worst someone can do is say she looks ugly and can't act -- which she can stomach and continue moving things along.

She's aware there are women who are younger, prettier, have bigger breasts, and a better figure than her now ... but she ain't sweating it cause she's demonstrated her staying power -- especially with the career risks she takes.

Netflix's upcoming series "Griselda" is one such risk ... the usually glam Sofia morphs into the gritty titular lead -- a real-life story based on the leader of one of the most profitable drug cartels in history.

The shift to such a dramatic role comes on the heels of the huge shift in Sofia's personal life -- she split from Joe Manganiello after 7 years of marriage last year over their differences in wanting kids ... he does, she doesn't.

"Griselda" is already getting early critical acclaim, so it's true what Sofia says ... she ain't solely banking on those good looks anymore; it's her talent that shines.

Sofía Vergara Mis tetas y mi cuerpo me hicieron famosa... Sorry, not sorry

Sofía Vergara no se disculpa por ser sexy y está diciendo que es absurdo pensar que sus grandes pechos y su increíble figura no fueron la razón detrás de su fama.

La actriz dice que su aspecto era su pasaporte de entrada al mundo a los 20 como joven modelo y le dijo al diario español El País que sentirse mal por la mano que le dio de comer no tiene sentido, pues sigue siendo un gran nombre, incluso a los 51 años.

Sofía dice que aprendió a jugar con sus puntos fuertes desde el principio, después de darse cuenta de que los chicos comenzaron a prestarle atención y tratarla de manera diferente.

Ahora, dice que si solo se fijan en sus tetas es un problema porque su personalidad burbujeante es la está detrás de su longevidad en el negocio del entretenimiento.

Sofia dice que ella no está practicando cirugía cerebral, así que lo peor que alguien puede decirle es que se ve fea y no puede actuar, cosa que ella puede soportar y seguir adelante.

Es consciente también de que hay mujeres que son más jóvenes y bonitas, que tienen pechos más grandes y una mejor figura que ella, pero no está sudando por ello, pues ha demostrado su poder de permanencia, especialmente con los riesgos que toma en su carrera.

La próxima serie de Netflix "Griselda" es uno de esos riesgos. La glamurosa Sofía se transforma en la protagonista, una historia basada en la vida real de la líder de uno de los cárteles de droga más rentables de la historia.

El cambio a un papel tan dramático llega justo después del gran cambio en su vida personal. Después de 7 años de matrimonio, Sofía se separó de Joe Manganiello el año pasado por sus diferencias sobre querer tener hijos. Él quería y ella no.

Meghan Markle y el Príncipe Harry Asisten al estreno de 'One Love' en Jamaica

Meghan Markle y el príncipe Harry hicieron una inesperada aparición pública en Jamaica para asistir al estreno de la nueva película de Bob Marley, lo que es interesante.

El duque y la duquesa de Sussex volaron hasta Kingston el martes por la noche para ver la película biográfica sobre el fallecido cantante, y sí, estaban vestidos de punta en blanco y sonriendo de oreja a oreja y al parecer bastante contentos de estar allí.

Presentes en el estreno
BACKGRID

Como hemos dicho, la pareja real no sale mucho, por lo que aparecer en esta película tal vez habla de un par de cosas diferentes, suponiendo que ustedes quieren leer sobre ellas.

Para empezar, vale la pena señalar que Jamaica como nación ha estado pidiéndole a la monarquía británica en el último tiempo que les permita convertirse en una república independiente, similar a Barbados, que se separó en los últimos años.

De hecho, el Primer Ministro de Jamaica ha hablado sobre esto con firmeza, con nada menos que el príncipe William y Kate Middleton durante una gira por el país en 2022.

Por eso también llamó la atención la presencia del Primer Ministro en el estreno, sobre todo porque Meg y Harry posaron con él y se mostraron muy cariñosos. Te hace pensar...

Teniendo en cuenta su propia historia, podríamos imaginar que Meghan Markle y el Príncipe Harry están en consonancia con lo que Jamaica quiere, por lo que estar de pie, hombro con hombro, con Andrew Holness dice mucho.

El otro elemento es que esta película de Bob Marley está siendo distribuida a través de Paramount, y un jefe del estudio, el presidente de Nickelodeon, Brian Robbins, también estuvo allí y también posó con Meghan y Harry en un momento durante su visita.

Sabemos que estos dos (Meg y Harry, a saber) están en busca de nuevas oportunidades en el mundo del espectáculo después de tomar algunos bultos el año pasado, y esto casi parece como si estuvieran arrimándose al equipo de la montaña y las estrellas.

Eso, o solo son grandes fans de Bob Marley. Es difícil de decir.

En cualquier caso, Meg y Harry estaban disfrutando, a pesar de que técnicamente no tienen nada que ver con esta película. Tal vez esta sea la primera señal de su redención en el negocio. Sin ánimo de provocar, claro.

Meghan Markle & Prince Harry We Got 'One Love' for Bob ... Hit Up Movie Premiere in Jamaica

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made a rare public appearance all the way down in Jamaica -- hitting up the premiere for the new Bob Marley movie ... which is interesting.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex flew down to Kingston Tuesday night, where they were in attendance to watch the biopic about the late singer -- and yes, they were dressed to the nines and smiling from ear to ear ... looking pretty dang happy to be there.

012424_meghan_harry_kal
PREMIERE POP IN
BACKGRID

Like we said, the Royal couple doesn't really get out all that much ... so the fact they surfaced for this film, specifically, perhaps speaks to a couple different things -- assuming you wanna read into it.

For starters ... it's worth noting Jamaica as a nation, of late, has made it clear it wants to step out from under the British Monarchy and become an independent republic -- similar to Barbados, which broke off on its own in recent years.

In fact, the Jamaican PM has spoken on this firmly ... to none other than Prince William and Kate Middleton during a tour of the country in 2022.

That's why the Prime Minister's presence at the premiere was also eye-popping, especially since Meg and Harry posed with him and appeared chummy. It makes ya rub your chin.

Considering their own history, you'd figure MM and PH are in alignment with what Jamaica wants ... so them standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Andrew Holness speaks volumes.

The other element here is the fact that this Bob Marley movie is being distributed through Paramount -- and a head honcho from the studio, Nickelodeon Prez Brian Robbins, was also there ... and he, too, posed with Meghan and Harry at one point during arrivals.

Stalkers-Landscape

We know these two are in search of new opportunities in showbiz after taking some lumps last year ... and this almost seems like they're cozying up to the star/mountain crew.

It's that ... or they could just be huge Marley fans -- hard to say.

ARMIE HAMMER RECENT FLING DISCUSSES HIS BEDROOM Biting And Matching Tattoos!!

DROPING THE HAMMER
This is The Worst Podcast / Just Media House

Armie Hammer's recent fling has given us a glimpse into his bedroom "cannibalism" kinks -- you know, the ones that landed him in the center of sexual abuse allegations.

Comedian Brittany Schmitt makes it clear to her pal Brittany Furlan on "This is The Worst Podcast" that while things beneath the sheets were consensual between them, she's absolutely not negating the other accuser's experiences -- cause she, too, was disturbed by his actions.

She claims she met Armie this past August through sober friends in L.A. and they had a brief fling. She says straight off the bat Armie was open about the cannibalism claims levied at him -- explaining it to her as a "cycle of completion" and "I'm inside of you, so I want you to be inside of me" sorta thing.

Mind you, Schmitt doesn't sound bent outta shape about the biting at all, and according to her Armie was so into it, he'd push the limit sometimes -- but, she's clear, when she asked him to stop, he would.

Interestingly, she notes she was lucky to have a different experience from what his sexual assault accusers say they went through. Schmitt actually reiterates she's not shading them or questioning their experiences.

The Brittanys also had a good laugh about the fact Schmitt was down for Armie branding her ... on their first date. She says he gave her a hand tattoo, and put a matching one on himself.

Brittany says he also inked others, and even jokingly referred to his tattoo "artist" gig as "Cannibal-ink." Yes, you heard that right.

Brittany says they stopped talking the next month... admitting the brief fling started because she was in a dark place.

As for Armie ... the DA's office said in May 2023 he wouldn't be charged with rape because they couldn't "prove a non-consensual, forcible sexual encounter" in the Feb 2021 claims made by his ex, Effie Angelova.

Margot Robbie Cops Claim 'Margot Robbied' ... Protest Actresses Oscars Snub

Margot Robbie's fans are so miffed about her "Barbie" Oscars snub that even the police are complaining ... albeit in a very funny fashion.

The Victoria Police Department in Australia posted a hilarious message on their Facebook page Tuesday, showing their disgust over the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences' failure to nominate Margot for her starring role as Barbie in the super popular 2023 film. As you may know, the actress grew up in Queensland, Australia, which isn't close to Victoria, but the cops there clearly have her back.

Waiting for your permission to load the Facebook Post.

In the FB post, Victoria PD officials wrote in all caps, "POLICE INVESTIGATE AS MARGOT ROBBIED." Then, in regular letter case, they joked, "Police are investigating after a former resident of Ramsay Street was allegedly robbed of an Oscar nomination for best actress."

During their alleged "Margot probe," investigators urged the public to consider reporting all non-emergencies like theft through their online system. They also reminded citizens that the portal is a very convenient way to report smaller crimes.

Pretty amusing stuff ... but Margot was probably not laughing after the Academy gave her and Barbie director, Greta Gerwig, the cold shoulder during Tuesday's announcement of the 2024 Oscar nominations.

Margot's costar, Ryan Gosling, who played Barbie's boyfriend Ken in the movie, snagged an Oscar nom, but he later released a statement mentioning the Margot and Greta snubs.

Ryan said, in part, there "is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally celebrated film."

Margot Robbie La policía afirma que 'Margot fue robada'... Protestan por el desaire en los Oscar

Los fans de Margot Robbie están tan molestos por el desaire de "Barbie" en los Oscars que incluso la policía se está quejando, aunque de una manera muy divertida.

El Departamento de Policía de Victoria, en Australia, publicó el martes un hilarante mensaje en su página de Facebook, donde muestra su disgusto porque la Academia de las Artes y las Ciencias Cinematográficas no haya nominado a Margot por su papel de Barbie en la popular película de 2023. Como sabrán, la actriz creció en Queensland, Australia, que no está cerca de Victoria, pero los policías de allí claramente le cubren las espaldas.

En el post de FB, los oficiales de la policía de Victoria escribieron en mayúsculas: "POLICÍA INVESTIGA ASALTO A MARGOT". Luego, en letra normal, bromearon: "La policía está investigando después de que una antigua residente de Ramsay Street fuera presuntamente robada de una nominación al Oscar a la mejor actriz".

Durante su supuesta "investigación Margot", los investigadores instaron al público a que consideraran la posibilidad de denunciar todas las situaciones que no fueran de emergencia, como los robos, a través de su sistema en línea. También recordaron a los ciudadanos que el portal es una forma muy cómoda de denunciar delitos menores.

Muy divertido, pero Margot probablemente no se está riendo después de que la Academia le diera a ella y a la directora de Barbie, Greta Gerwig, un desaire durante el anuncio de las nominaciones a los Oscar 2024 este martes.
