Some celebrities have a big name that fans immediately recognize. Others have less of a reputation but just as much talent.
Josh Charles is a mildly successful actor with over forty credits in his portfolio. His career has spanned movies and TV series since the 1980s. While most of his work is lesser known, he's had a few breakthrough roles fans love.
Despite rarely being the main star, Charles has stayed relevant on screen, from his most known character in The Good Wife to his newest endeavor, FX's The Veil. Some of his earlier work should be on everyone's must-watch list.
Josh Charles started his acting career as a supporting character in the 1980s version of Hairspray. A year later, he scored his breakout role alongside Robin Williams -- one of the greatest actors of the time -- in Dead Poet's Society.

Organized Noize’s Rico Wade was laid to rest at an Atlanta funeral Friday — a day that coincided with the 30th anniversary of the release of Outkast’s debut album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik — and after the private service, Big Boi and Andre 3000 turned to social media to pay tribute to the pioneering producer who died earlier this month at the age of 52.
“Without Rico Wade… There would be no Outkast,” Big Boi wrote. “From the beginning. Organized Noize signed us. They were our big brothers, and they did a production deal with Laface Records.

A funeral procession to Wade’s gravesite will follow the service.

Rico Wade, a key Outkast producer and member of Organized Noize, who also co-founded the Dungeon Family collective, has died. He was 52.
No cause of death is available at this time, a representative for Organized Noize told The Hollywood Reporter.
“We are deeply saddened by the sudden and unexpected passing of our son, father, husband and brother Rico Wade,” his family shared in a statement. “Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of a talented individual who touched the lives of so many. We ask that you respect the legacy of our loved one and our privacy at this time.”
Wade, Ray Murray and Sleepy Brown founded the Dungeon Family collective in the early 1990s. The hip-hop group included Big Boi, André 3000, CeeLo Green, Big Rube, Big Gipp, Khujo and, later, Wade’s little cousin, Future.

Kamasi Washington has recruited André 3000 for “Dream State,” the latest offering from the musician’s forthcoming album Fearless Movement.
Across a hypnotic eight minutes, Washington’s saxophone and André 3000’s flute interweave and enchant. As the song’s title suggests, there’s a dream-like trance that envelops the song, but it becomes much more active and vibrant when Kamasi Washington’s rhythm section enter. “Dream State” is more meditative than previous Fearless Movement cut “Prologue,” but it still features some dazzling, stirring moments of improvisation.

But then you have to execute that dream, and that road can be very bumpy. Being an innovator is seeing what everyone believes is impossible.

Our newest Best Supporting Actress Oscar-winner, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, looks to have her next project in view. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the star of “The Holdovers” will join a new musical from director Michel Gondry and producer Pharrell Williams. The project is said to be based on Williams’s youth in Virginia Beach in the 1970s. (I hope we get to watch his very tall hat grow.) IMDb has the title of the film listed as “Atlantis,” but this is unconfirmed by THR.
The screenplay is written by Martin Hynes, whose previous writing credits include “Toy Story 4” and “Stealing Harvard” (and also playing George Lucas in the legendary short “George Lucas in Love”), and Steven Levenson, whose musical credits include “Dear Evan Hanson” and “tick, tick…Boom.” Kelvin Harrison Jr., recently seen in “Chevalier” and “Elvis” is believed to be starring, and IMDb lists Andre 3000, Mary J.

No matter what stylistic mode Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield is working in, from the emo-infused indie-folk of 2013’s Cerulean Salt to the sterling, country-tinged heartland rock of 2020’s Saint Cloud, her music boasts a persuasive, authorial presence. Her moniker is derived from the Alabama town where she grew up—“named after a city y’ain’t never seen,” she muses on the title track of Tigers Blood—and the album, like much of her discography, is stocked with scenes of vividly rendered rural life.
What’s perhaps most striking about Crutchfield’s music is that it dares to wrestle with honest depictions of its milieu. Tigers Blood is reflective without being overly sentimental. She pushes beyond idyllic small-town imagery, exploring the recklessness of youth and the privilege that comes with it: “Drank someone else’s juice and left only the rind,” she sings on “Tigers Blood.”

Accomplished jazz musician Kamasi Washington has confirmed his new album, Fearless Movement, set for release on May 3rd.
Fearless Movement is Kamasi Washington’s first album in six years, and the saxophonist refers to the record as his “dance album”: “It’s not literal,” Washington clarifies in a statement, “Dance is movement and expression, and in a way it’s the same thing as music —expressing your spirit through your body. That’s what this album is pushing.”
Another significant theme of Fearless Movement is new fatherhood, inspired by Washington’s experience having his first child several years ago. In addition to his daughter appearing on the album, Fearless Movement features contributions from André 3000, Thundercat, George Clinton, Bj the Chicago Kid, D Smoke, and fellow member of Washington’s collaborative group Dinner Party, Terrace Martin.

Imax saw sales dip in the fourth quarter to $86 million from $98 million, in line with Wall Street forecasts, as the company focused on the full year and its accelerated global expansion. The stock has popped more than 8% in after-market trading on the numbers and outlook.
Adjusted ebitdawas $23 million (also down from the year ago), and Eps was flat at 5 cents a share, also in line.
The fourth quarter was hit by big ticket films moving out of 2023. Oppenheimer, which came out over the summer — in Q2 – was a big boost.
Full-year 2023 revenue jumped 25% to $375 million.
“As the entertainment landscape transforms, it is clear that IMAX is among its premier, in-demand destinations,” said CEO Rich Gelfond. He’s upbeat about Dune: Part 2, which opens this weekend and will get an Imax run. Both Oppenheimer and the new Dune were filmed in Imax.

Another big award show took place this weekend (in addition to the SAG Awards), the Film Independent Spirit Awards, which celebrates indie film and TV. One thing about this awards show is that their idea of independent sometimes makes me scratch my head a bit, with HBO’s big-budget The Last of Us nominated a whole bunch in the TV category, along with Netflix’s Beef and several other streaming shows, which I’m not sure one could call independent. For films, there’s a $30 million budget cap. For TV, I’m honestly not sure what the benchmark is because Last of Us was notoriously an expensive show to shoot, costing at least $100 million.
Indeed, The Last of Us won some key awards on the TV side, winning Best Supporting Performance (for Nick Offerman) and Best Breakthrough Performance (for Keivonn Montreal Woodard). Over on the film side, American Fiction and...

Young Stoner Life Records rapper Strick is premiering a new music video for his song “Kisses Make Sure” with Rolling Stone. It features Young Thug, who encouraged Strick to step in the spotlight when he was just a songwriter, and James Blake. It is Thug and Blake’s first collaboration ever, according to he and Strick.
“It’s an honor,” Blake says of landing his first track with Young Thug, who the singer and producer has been a vocal fan of for years. “Hopefully people like the result. It doesn...

When it comes to truth in advertising, few albums this year are going to top Lil Jon’s just-released Total Meditation. Not remotely hip hop, the music is instead a soothing sonic bath akin to what one would hear in a massage-therapy room at a spa. As those tracks wash over you, the rapper, producer and home-improvement guru offers self-help tips (“anxiety can be a big problem for many people. When you meditate on a regular basis, the health benefits continue to increase”) and specific suggestions on how to meditate:...

As Jeezy noted before playing “And Then What” during his NPR Tiny Desk debut, he goes by a lot of names. There’s Jizzle, which he started going by around 2010. There’s also Bling (favored by the Fort Lauderdale crowd) and the two-for-one deal of Snow and Jeezy the Snowman. The most recent addition he tacked onto the list is the title of New York Times Bestseller. The rapper released his first book, Adversity for Sale, last year, but the lessons written in his memoir were in his music first.

If every artist fulfilled their fanbase’s every wish, they would never see outside of the walls of the recording studio. The possession of a clear and concise creative vision — one that serves the artist first and their audience second — is why Solange was able to captivate listeners with A Seat at the Table in 2016 and leave them in a sonic daze for three years while she created its follow-up, 2019’s When I Get Home. Five years later, the singer and songwriter knows that everyone is anticipating her next album...

And he’s not wrong: the English singer-songwriter has worked with Jay-Z, Sza, and Anderson.Paak, Andre 3000, 21 Savage, and others throughout his career,...

André 3000 stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in late January, during which he taped a “Colbert Questionert” segment that didn’t air until Thursday night (February 8th). During the series of questions, the rapper-turned-flutist revealed some interesting tidbits, including how he nearly joined the Fast and Furious family and once killed an ant farm.
After André couldn’t come up with a favorite action movie, Colbert probed him on why he hasn’t been in a Fast and Furious film, saying, “I could see you driving a fast car, off a cliff or something into a boat.”
In response, André said that he actually auditioned for the franchise, but another Atlanta rapper took his spot. “I would have, but I think Ludacris took the role,” he explained. “I actually tried out. I tried out for Fast and Furious and Ludacris actually took the role.”

Andre 3000 reveals he auditioned for — but didn’t get — Ludacris’ role in the Fast and Furious series in a bonus interview from the rapper/flutist’s recent appearance on The Late Show.
Taking the soul-bearing “Colbert Questionert” back in January, the late-night host asked the OutKast legend what his favorite action movie was; Andre 3000 couldn’t think of one, so Colbert asked him a follow-up question about why he hasn’t yet appeared in any of the all-star Fast and Furious movies.

In 2023 Gold Derby’s racetrack odds missed every general field category — surprises abounded! But this year our odds were spot-on in all four of those races, with Album of the Year going to Taylor Swift (“Midnights”), Record of the Year going to Miley Cyrus (“Flowers”), Song of the Year going to Billie Eilish (“What Was I Made For?”) and Best New Artist going to Victoria Monet. Still, there were 15 categories out of the 37 we were predicting where most of our users were expecting a different result. Did you see these outcomes coming?

Best Pop Duo/Group Performance: “Ghost in the Machine” by Sza feat. Phoebe Bridgers
In recent years this award has gone to the biggest hit nominated. This year that was “Karma” by Taylor Swift and Ice Spice. And since Swift was also the front-runner for Album of the Year, we figured she’d take this too.

Miley Cyrus earned her first-ever Grammy Award when “Flowers” captured Best Solo Pop Performance. She promptly followed that up by winning a second Grammy thanks to “Flowers” taking Record of the Year.
Billie Eilish’s contribution to the Barbie soundtrack, “What Was I Made For?”, took home Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media. Next up? A possible Academy Award for Best Original Song.

At 48, Killer Mike won three rap Grammys on Sunday and told the audience: “You cannot tell me you get too old. You cannot tell me it’s too late.”
Mike won best rap album for Michael, while his song “Scientists and Engineers” won best rap performance and best rap song. On Twitter, the Recording Academy accidentally announced that Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice’s “Barbie World” won best rap song, though it went to Michael‘s track, which features Andre 3000, Future and Eryn Allen Kane.
“For all the people out there that think you get too old to rap, bullshit. I don’t give a damn if you’re 78 rapping about how many gals you got in the nursing home, make sure we keep hip-hop alive,” he said during the Grammys pre-show held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The official ceremony will air later from the Crypto.

I walked into Brooklyn’s Crown Hill Theatre wondering what kind of set to expect at the first stop of André 3000’s New Blue Sun tour. I had never been to the Crown Heights venue; I didn’t know whether he would be on a bare stage or have chairs arranged in a big circle that he’d play in the middle of. How would he split the difference between being an artist performing for paying fans and being the far-removed, flute-carrying maverick who does what he wants?

The performance was nearly as long as the song itself as the musician performed “That Night In Hawaii When I Turned Into A Panther And Started Making These Low Register Purring Tones That I Couldn’t Control … Sh*t Was Wild” on the flute for nearly 10 minutes.

Prior to the performance, André spoke to Colbert about the circumstances that led him to record an instrumental jazz album. In explaining his love for the flute, André said that the instrument is “the closest thing to singing… you’re actually hearing a human’s wind.”
Introducing his performance of “That Night in Hawaii When I Turned into a Panther…,” André explained that the song was inspired by real-life events: specifically, when he attended a ceremony in Hawaii, took ayahuasca, and “turned into a panther.”

Could Lana be on its way? On Sunday night, Sza dropped what appears to be six versions of cover art for the deluxe version of her smash album Sos, simply captioning the images “Lana.” In September the singer revealed the name of her upcoming album, a nickname for the rapper whose real name is Solána Rowe.
Although no release date has been announced, three of the images feature a jersey with the number “15” on it, causing fans to speculate that Lana might arrive on Dec. 15.
