Wolfgang Van Halen’s Mammoth Wvh recently performed on NBC’s Today show, and in a heartwarming moment, cameras captured his mom, actress Valerie Bertinelli, and fiancée, Andraia Allsop, cheering on the band from the sidelines.
Speaking with Heavy Consequence, Wolfgang said the Today show performance was “one of the most nerve-wracking things ever.”
“I hadn’t slept at all, because we were up so early,” he added. “So, it was just kind of one big dream. It was an insane opportunity, where you’re just kind of playing, and you turn to your right and Al Roker is sitting there watching. Very, very crazy. But yeah, my mom and and my fiancée have just been so wonderful. They’re definitely the people I rely on and lean on. Just having them there to support me was really special.”

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers through Claim to Fame Season 2 Episode 8.] Claim to Fame comes to a close on Monday, August 28. The two-hour Season 2 finale will reveal who walks away with the $100,000. Episode 9 kicks off at 9/8c on ABC and will send one of the final four packing before Episode 10 crowns the winner. Will it be Karsyn, Monay, Chris, or Gabriel who walks away victorious? Let’s look at their performances throughout the season. Gabriel is the clear front runner, as he’s won the most challenges and his pop culture knowledge seems to run deepest out of everyone in the final four. Monay has been a strong theorist throughout the season, but she did think Hugo’s Elton John theory held weight. Gabriel, on the other hand, didn’t buy into that idea and was the only one who got close to deciphering the true meaning of Chris’s clues. Chris’s relative, if you...

This article contains spoilers for "Good Omens" season 2.
If you watched "Good Omens" season 2 when it debuted in July, chances are you've spent the last several weeks humming the same song as a few million other fans of the show. Buddy Holly's "Everyday" is the unofficial theme song of the fantasy comedy series' second season, and it's an earworm that's both impossible to shake and too fun to even want to.
"Everyday" first appeared in the sophomore season trailer, and seemed to be hinting towards some sort of countdown. "Every day/it's a-gettin' closer," Holly sings -- but what's the "it" in question? The apocalypse? An answer to the question of Gabriel's sudden appearance on earth? A big old smooch between the demon Crowley (David Tennant) and the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen). The answer turned out to be two of the three, but within the show's story, the...

Los Angeles, Aug 12 (Ians) Musician Robbie Robertson died proud that he supported Bob Dylan when he went electric.
The Band guitarist was part of Bob’s backing group known as The Hawks when the ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ singer was famously booed by fans at gigs in the mid-1960s for ditching his acoustic folk style for rock, reports aceshowbiz.com.
Robbie, whose death aged 80 was announced on Wednesday, August 9, said in a 2017 chat with Mojo that has been reprinted by the magazine in honor of his legacy, “(Bob Dylan and The Hawks) got booed all over North America, Australia, Europe, and people were saying this isn’t working and we kept on and Bob didn’t budge.
We got to a place where we would listen to these tapes and say, ‘You know what? They’re wrong. And we’re right.’ Eight years later, we do a tour, the (1974) Dylan/Band tour.

In 1986, ten years after the Band had played “The Last Waltz,” its final show with the original lineup, Robbie Robertson decided the time had come to return to music. He’d dabbled in acting and film scoring — not to mention some wild Hollywood times that he would later begin chronicling in the memoir he was writing before his death on Aug. 9. But recording an album under his own name, something he’d never done before, became his new passion in the Eighties.

Robbie Robertson, a founder of The Band and a collaborator for both Bob Dylan and Martin Scorsese, died August 9 at the age of 80. Robertson was Scorsese’s music producer starting with 1982’s “The King of Comedy” and they most recently worked together on “Killers of the Flower Moon,” which Apple and Paramount will open this fall.
But Robertson’s most meaningful collaboration with Scorsese was as one of the subjects of the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s 1978 documentary “The Last Waltz,” chronicling The Band’s 1976 concert at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco, where Robertson was joined by his bandmates and the likes of Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Neil Diamond, Emmylou Harris, Van Morrison, Neil Young, and Eric Clapton. It was also the swan song for all five original members of The Band.

When Gabriel Henrique hit the stage halfway through Tuesday’s show, Vergara and her fellow judges — Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel — were won over by his smile and his affable personality.
Gabriel was joined on stage by a translator, as he doesn’t speak a great deal of English, but his winning charm shined through any language barriers that may have existed before he even sang a note.
“[This is] my first time here in the United States,” Gabriel shared, via his translator, “and I’m just realizing a dream to be here to sing for you guys.”

Long ago in a time before the pandemic (2019) Amazon released a show based on Neil Gaiman’s book Good Omens. Intended to be a limited series, the show was a hit so they opted for even more. However, talking to stars David Tennant and Michael Sheen, multiple seasons were always in the cards. Despite Gaiman’s material taking up the first season, the writers plotted along much further. So while I had very limited time to be able to talk with the two gentlemen, they were a wealth of knowledge. Make sure you check out my conversation with Michael Sheen and David Tennant above. Note: this was recorded before the SAG/AFTRA strike.

“If you’re going to burn it down, you should have told us!” laughs Good Omens set decorator Bronwyn Franklin, explaining why the set for Aziraphale’s bookshop is, by her estimation, “five to 10 per cent” different this time around.
“We never realised it’d be a second series, because it was one book, one Good Omens series. And then everyone loved it so much that Amazon said we really want another.” The surprise series renewal meant redressing the bookshop set from scratch, after it was burned down by an errant candle at the end of season one, episode four. (Hence Aziraphale’s preference for electric candles in the second run.)
Is that particular set still standing by the end of season two? “It’s all still here,” confirms Franklin. “It doesn’t necessarily mean that we’ll ever make anything again,” she says as a caveat, but this time around at least,...

This article contains spoilers for "Good Omens" season 2.
There's a lot of overlap between the "Good Omens" and "Doctor Who" fanbases. After all, Crowley is played by David Tennant, the same guy who played (and is now playing again) the time-traveling alien Doctor. If that wasn't enough, "Good Omens" also co-stars Michael Sheen as Aziraphale, an actor who played the malevolent alien House in the "Doctor Who" episode "The Doctor's Wife." That episode was written by Neil Gaiman, co-creator and showrunner of "Good Omens." Director Douglas MacKinnon has also worked on both shows.
"Good Omens" season 2 takes the connections between the shows even further. Peter Davison, who played the fifth Doctor back in 1982, shows up here to play the biblical figure Job. Job's son, Ennon, is played by David Tennant's real-life son, Ty Tennant, who also happens to be Peter Davison's grandson. The fly Beelzebub gives Gabriel is described as "bigger on the inside,...

Finales carry expectations, and Good Omens Season 2 Episode 6 does that thing where it closes out some plotlines and leaves others twisting in the wind like so many tangled kite strings.
The solution to Gabriel's amnesia turns out to be a story of growing beyond the role he was created for. His relationship with Beelzebub humanizes them both for better and worse.
Meanwhile, Crowley and Aziraphale also reach a tipping point in their relationship. And we're left twisting.
As far as mysteries go, there weren't a lot of signposts that Gabriel's condition was the result of a forbidden love.
As far as forbidden loves go, the Supreme Archangel and the Lord of the Flies are about as May-December as you can get.
The only real clue turns out to be Aziraphale's Clue from Good Omens Season 2 Episode 2, the song Gabriel/Jim can't stop humming.

Events move alarmingly quickly on Good Omens Season 2 Episode 5 from odd to impossible to perilously bonkers.
For a show that has taken us to Scotland and Uz, with meandering detours through prehistory and Biblical times, introducing graverobbers, Nazis, and Job, it escalates a neighborhood theme party to an infernal siege with barely a moment to acknowledge the critical change.
Meanwhile, the miracle that hides Gabriel from those looking for him works so well that his surrender is rendered useless.
As an angel, Aziraphale has a number of superpowers, but his party-planning skills are nothing short of miraculous.
His willingness to part with his books -- the items he cherishes most in the world-- in the name of bringing Maggie and Nina together is like Crowley giving up his plants or Bentley.
Like the weather scheme Crowley uses to set Nina and Maggie up to kiss, Aziraphale's Jane Austen ball is...

The core message of Good Omens Season 2 Episode 4 is one of trust.
On the periphery here -- but soon to take center stage, it seems -- Nina's relationship with Lindsay is falling apart because there is no foundational trust. Can she and Maggie do better if their connection is jumpstarted with meddling?
Crowley and Aziraphale's relationship is rooted in an unspoken trust that has developed over the millennia they've known each other, while it is clear that trust will only be betrayed when dealing with Hell's workforce. You'd think Nazi zombies might know better.
Shax kicks it off by pretending to be a hitchhiker to get close to Aziraphale as he returns to London from Edinburgh.
Picking up a hitchhiker is a pretty intense trust exercise on both sides. Driver and hitchhiker must both trust the other to not be a serial (or even a one-off) killer.

Warning: contains major spoilers for the Good Omens season 2 finale.
It took over two years for Prime Video to announce that Good Omens was coming back, and four years for it to actually return.
The first six episodes of the fantasy-comedy about angel-demon soulmates Aziraphale and Crowley aired in May 2019. Fans loved it, and naturally wanted more. Then, due to a combination of the global Covid pandemic, plus the extremely busy schedules of creator Neil Gaiman (who also had TV adaptations of The Sandman and Anansi Boys cooking) and his stars David Tennant and Michael Sheen, Good Omens season two was eventually confirmed in June 2021.
Now, in July 2023, it’s finally here, and it had better not take another four years to finish this story. Not after that ending. With major finale spoilers ahead, let’s dive in.
Archangel Gabriel and Lord Beelzebub

Any chance David Tennant gets to pull out his natural (possibly exaggerated) Scottish accent, as he does on Good Omens Season 2 Episode 3, fun times are to be had.
Aziraphale's 1827 lesson in the ineffable "virtues of poverty" is a moment of real personal growth for the sanctimonious angel.
I'd like to think this isn't the last we'll see of Elsbeth. It would be interesting to see if those ninety guineas are enough to level the playing field for her.
But first, there's Officer Constable Muriel.
Inexperienced with humanity, even among angels, it's a classic comedic fish-out-of-water scenario when she's assigned to confirm and document the miracle Aziraphale claimed to have used to make Nina and Maggies fall in love.
Her Pollyanna-esque optimism and complete ineptitude are quite adorable, especially in light of the higher-up angels' routinely callous and pompous behavior.
With her positive attitude and lean-in curiosity about the world, it...

Spoiler Warning: It's quite the family affair on Good Omens Season 2 Episode 2 as we get another glimpse into Aziraphale and Crowley's past adventures together.
Not only does David Tennant's own son, Ty, portray Job's son Ennon, but Job himself is played by Tennant's father-in-law (and Ty's grandfather), Peter Davison. It's a biblical family outing! Fun times, if you have the pull.
Meanwhile, seeing Gabriel in his previous officious, supercilious role reminds us that Aziraphale and Crowley are saving him purely out of altruism and not because he was ever kind or understanding to them or humanity.
His assertion that his knowledge of human childbirth is extensive because he witnessed God creating Eve from Adam's rib is both absurd and surprisingly useful to our heroes.
Unlike the wig he's sporting in 2500 B.C., which is just absurd.
Nearly five thousand years later, Aziraphale is only slightly better at...

Starz might just be the hottest ticket in town this summer. In the wake of “Minx’s” triumphant return last week comes the long-awaited second season of the professional wrestling drama “Heels,” which is quietly one of TV’s best shows.
Starring Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig as brothers Jack and Ace Spade, the Georgia-set series explores their complicated family dynamic through the fabricated but exciting world of small-town professional wrestling, in which one is considered a face (hero) and one is a heel (villain). Created by “Loki’s” Michael Waldron and with Mike O’Malley as showrunner, the series is bigger and better in Season 2, which premieres Friday at 10/9c, as it digs further into the brothers’ respective traumas and the ongoing feud between the Duffy Wrestling League (Dwl) and rival promotion Florida Wrestling Dystopia (Fwd), led by O’Malley’s Charlie Gully. With its compelling family drama and a well-placed sense of humor,...

It’s the shock of seeing Norman Bates, knife in hand, clad in his mother’s clothes, grinning maniacally in the swinging lamplight. It’s a supposedly dead husband rising from a bathtub with terrifying saucer contact-lenses. It’s finally connecting “I see dead people” with Bruce Willis being shot at the beginning of “The Sixth Sense.” When movies pull the rug out from under us, it’s one of the greatest thrills that cinema can provide.
As Hollywood continues to reboot countless old properties, it’s easy to think that the days of original and surprising storytelling are long behind us. But these films prove that Hollywood still has a few tricks up its sleeve, ones that have kept us talking for years, and have cemented their place in film history.

This post contains spoilers for "Good Omens" season 2.
For six millennia, Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and Crowley (David Tennant) have been in a slow-burn romance. Despite never uttering "I love you" aloud, it's a dance they both know well throughout the eons of the Prime Video-BBC apocalyptic comedy "Good Omens," based on the 1990 novel by Neil Gaiman (showrunner and writer) and the late Terry Pratchett. In perhaps the great celestial opposites-attract rom-com, Aziraphale is a cheerful do-gooding angel just as the fallen angel Crowley is a mischievous abrasive demon. They might pretend to be mortal enemies, but they take pleasure in collaborating and chattering on Earth. As seen in season 2, they often work to rescue mortals (like rescuing Job's children) or indulge in mortal antics.
After the season 1 finale, their excommunication from their respective offices seems to liberate them from their obligations. These Ineffable Boyfriends, though, get their relationship...

Spoiler Alert: This recap contains spoilers from the Season 2 finale of “Good Omens,” now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
In the 2006 reprinted edition of Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett’s 1990 classic “Good Omens,” the co-authors did a Q&a in which they answered the question “Why isn’t there a sequel?” like this:
“We played around with ideas, but we could never work up the enthusiasm. Besides, we wanted to do other things. Recently, though, we’ve both been wondering if ‘never again’ is set in stone. So there might be a sequel one day. Maybe. Perhaps. Who knows? We don’t.”
Well, now we do know, because on July 28, Amazon Prime Video dropped the second season of its TV adaptation of “Good Omens,” which sees Michael Sheen and David Tennant reprise their roles as apocalypse-fighting, millennia-long best friends: the fussy angel and rare-book dealer Aziraphale and fast-living demon Crowley.

Our favorite angel and demon duo are back in “Good Omens” Season 2: All six episodes hit Prime Video streaming on July 28. This time around, the odd couple is tasked with helping hide Gabriel (Jon Hamm) from both sides of the celestial divide until he can regain his memory.
Here are the returning and new characters and what other projects you may have seen the cast in before.
(Prime Video)
David Tennant as Crowley
Tennant, best known as the 10th Doctor on “Doctor Who,” plays fallen angel Crowley, whose relationship with Aziraphale pre-dates the creation of humans. The stylish demon often finds himself afoul of both heaven and hell. The Scottish actor also starred in “Broadchurch” and Marvel’s “Jessica Jones.”

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for all of Good Omens Season 2.] Good Omens delivers quite possibly TV’s most romantic episode of the year with the Season 2 finale (now on Prime Video) — and yes, angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and demon Crowley’s (David Tennant) relationship is very much part of that. And as much as it ultimately hurts (a lot), where do they leave off? Tennant and Sheen are so incredible in their last (devastating) scene together that we’re not sure we’d want to trade it in for anything. First, Gabriel (Jon Hamm) gets his memories back, courtesy of Beelzebub’s (Shelley Conn) fly where he’d stored them. And while Heaven and Hell debate what to do with the two of them, they decide to just go off to be together (while singing “Everyday”). Meanwhile, a series of events led Aziraphale and ...

To an eternal being, four years probably doesn’t seem like such a long time. But to us mere mortals, the wait between Good Omens Seasons 1 and 2 felt interminable. Thank the heavens, then, that today Prime Video brings us the next chapter in the exploits of the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley.
The premiere episode, “The Arrival,” opens with a flashback to Crowley and Aziraphale’s first meeting “before the beginning,” as a title card tells us, when both were angels gazing upon the brand-new cosmos. “Look at you, you’re gorgeous,” David Tennant’s Crowley coos, and Michael Sheen...

So much for happy endings, huh? Now that we've finished burning through the second season of Neil Gaiman's Prime Video adaptation of "Good Omens," it's time to regroup and process exactly what just went down in the six-episode continuation of Crowley (David Tennant) and Aziraphale's (Michael Sheen) story. In this case, that most likely means screaming at God (or Gaiman) about the show's abrupt pivot from a fluffy, rom-com story into an angst-riddled drama in the last ten minutes. Luckily, though, Crowley and Aziraphale's big breakup seems to be an unhappy middle to a still-unfolding story.
The first five episodes of the new season were giddy and adorable, like the TV equivalent of walking on a cloud even at their darkest moments. Sure, there were obstacles in the way of Aziraphale and Crowley's domestic bliss, but the amnesiac Gabriel (Jon Hamm...

If you’ve been counting down the days for the second season of Good Omens so fervently that the mere thought of its arrival makes you exclaim “I am having a moment here!” then you might need to have a sit down: Good Omen Season Two Is Finally Here.

Season one saw them try to prevent the end of the world after the antichrist is born, and as for season two?

Good Omens season two is a story of friendship and love and, to quote Terry Pratchett’s Moving Pictures, “Passione in a Worlde Gone Madde!” Gorgeous-looking, perfectly cast, and full of joy, it’s like a warm hug and a mug of hot chocolate… with a little macabre horror and sketch show comedy bobbing beneath the surface.
Good Omens season one was based on a standalone novel written by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, which meant that it was a complete story. That’s why most of its characters and plotlines – Adam and pals, Agnes Nutter, Anathema and the Four Motorcycle Riders of the Apocalypse – don’t appear in season two.
But more than any of those, Good Omens season one was the story of the friendship between the demon Crowley and the angel Aziraphale. They’re the true protagonists of the book, and indisputably the stars of the TV show,...

As someone who thoroughly enjoyed the first season of Good Omens without having any knowledge about the book it is based on by Neil Gaiman-Terry Pratchett or religious history, I thoroughly enjoyed this show about a bickering angel and demon. If you haven’t seen or heard about this show before, I blame Prime for not showing enough interest in marketing this hilarious masterclass in religious satire.
Season one was fantastic from start to finish, and we got introduced to Crowley and Aziraphale, the demon and angel that find that they’re a perfect match on Earth. Without spoilers, there’s a particular problem that these two take upon themselves to solve, and by the end of season 1, they do so. So, the second season begins on a completely new note. This time around, we learn more about the relationship between this not-so-evil demon and this not-so-good angel...

In the second season of “Good Omens,” which hits Prime Video on Friday, Michael Sheen’s angel Aziraphale and David Tennant’s demon Crowley team up again to help angel Gabriel (Jon Hamm) who shows up at Aziraphale’s book shop with no memory — and no clothes.
And, for complicated reasons, they must also try to make two local shopkeepers fall in love, which proves to be much more difficult that they imagine.
As Sheen told TheWrap (in an interview conducted before the SAG-AFTRA strike began), “It turns out trying to make two people love each other is as hard, if not harder, than averting the apocalypse.”
Added Tennant, “They think that it’s gonna take seconds, and everything else will fall into place. But of course, humans and all their rich tapestry of contradictions that they are gets in the way.”

“Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” director Christopher McQuarrie revealed before the film opened in theaters that he rejected de-aging Tom Cruise for a 1989-set opening scene. Now on a new episode of “The Empire Spoiler Special Film Podcast” (via /Film), the filmmaker dropped that he considered reaching out to Julia Roberts to de-age her as well for the scene that never happened as planned.
The scene that made it into the film is a brief flashback that is interspersed throughout the movie. It depicts a young Ethan Hunt (Cruise) watching the villainous Gabriel (Esai Morales) murder his girlfriend, played by Mariela Garriga. McQuarrie looked into de-aging VFX in order to open the film with a more extended scene set around this fateful encounter.
“I said, ‘Ok, if I were doing this sequence, it would be Tom in, say, 1989. It would be Tony Scott’s ‘Mission: Impossible.’ That’s...

"Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One" does something no other "Mission: Impossible" movie has ever done before: It shows us a quick glimpse into what Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise)'s life was like before he joined the Impossible Mission Force (Imf). As seen in the movie, that peek into Ethan's past takes the form of some brief black and white flashbacks revealing how Esai Morales' antagonist character, Gabriel, shares a history with Ethan. We learn Gabriel murdered a brunette woman named Marie and seemingly framed Ethan for her death, presumably leading to Ethan being presented with a choice: Go to prison, or put his skills to use for the U.S. government.
In the final cut of the movie, Marie is played by an actress named Mariela Garriga. But according to "Dead Reckoning" director and co-writer Christopher McQuarrie, he originally considered casting a superstar in that part: Julia Roberts.

[This interview was conducted prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike authorization.] They’ve already thwarted the End Times. What else could be in store for angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and demon Crowley (David Tennant), the two unlikely pals at the center of Good Omens? Turns out, quite a lot. When the divine fantasy comedy returns for a surprise sophomore season with six more episodes on Prime Video, the new mystery is what happened to the archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm). After disappearing from Heaven — sending his strict office-mates into a frenzy — Gabriel is found walking down the Soho streets toward Aziraphale’s rare book shop…like Adam before the forbidden fruit. Naked, with no recollection of who he is, or why he’s there, Gabriel claims to know he’s in the right spot. Somehow. Aziraphale, who has a shaky history with his not-very-nice ex-boss, is less than thrilled, as is Crowley. The encounter “is not necessarily when Aziraphale...

The following contains major spoilers for "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One."
In "Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation," director Christopher McQuarrie introduced Ilsa Faust, a smart, sexy, highly capable spy playing all angles. As played by Rebecca Ferguson, Ilsa became something of a revelation to the franchise — someone who could go toe to toe with Ethan Hunt. In fact, she was so effective that she returned for not one but two sequels, which isn't exactly common for this series (outside of the ever-present Ving Rhames). Ilsa quickly became a fan favorite, thanks to how complex the character was written, how much she kicked ass, and Ferguson's compelling, sleek performance. In short, Ilsa was a great character.
And then "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One" went and killed her off.
As a big Ilsa fan, this twist left a bad taste in my mouth. First of all, it reeks of...

Port of Spain, July 24 (Ians) India came out with guns blazing in their second innings but rain played spoilsport and halted their progress, reducing the session to just three overs as India reached 118/2 at Tea on the fourth day of the second Test.
After forcing an early lunch, the rain started soon as the batsmen were ready to get into the field for the afternoon session. Though the rain stopped soon, the wet ground stopped the play further and kept the players inside. Eventually, when play finally started, India crossed 100 runs off 75 balls on the second ball of the 13th over.
However, India suffered a setback when they lost opener Yashasvi Jaiswal in the same over, falling to a slower delivery that landed at the good length spot outside off-stump. Jaiswal attempted a slog-sweep across the line but the bounce got him and the top edge ballooned and keeper Joshua Da Silva...

This post contains spoilers for "Mission: Impossible" - Dead Reckoning Part One."
The latest entry in the "Mission: Impossible" franchise leans on bombastic set pieces to tie its MacGuffin-led plot together, but everything comes together pretty well, thanks to a host of compelling characters. The tense, globetrotting adventure in "Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One" makes way for, um, interesting antagonists, including an AI known as The Entity, who is hell-bent on world domination. The Entity hides behind its machinating circuitry and lines of code but sends two humans after Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his team: the mysterious Gabriel (Esai Morales) and his unpredictable assassin partner, Paris (Pom Klementieff).
Klementieff stands out in a film that is already packed to the brim with excesses, thanks to smart, eye-catching costume design and a mostly silent presence that makes her more deadly than Gabriel himself. Paris seems a bit unhinged from the get-go,...
