For Snowpiercer Star Daveed Diggs, The Professional Is Political
By Tre’vell Anderson Ever since Daveed Diggs shot to international acclaim in 2015 as an original cast member of the hit Broadway musical Hamilton, for which he won both a Grammy and Tony, Hollywood’s been the actor-rapper-everything man’s oyster. Unlike others who might say “yes” to every project that comes their way, however, the Oakland-born polymath is judicious with his choices, keenly attaching himself to works with greater meanings than pure entertainment. Because the professional, like the personal, is political. “I come from a culture of protest,” he tells MTV News over the phone from his Los Angeles home, observing stay-at-home orders as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In high school, he says, he was part of walkout protests every other week. With a Black father and Jewi...
Justin Bieber And Ariana Grande Scored Their First No. 1 Song Together: ‘Just You And Me’
Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber debuted their stay-at-home serenade “Stuck With U” earlier this month with a charming video that mashed up home-quarantine videos from fans and celebrity friends, and with positive change in mind. With proceeds from sales and streams going to the children of COVID-19 frontline responders via grant funding and scholarships, the single-for-a-good-cause quickly struck a chord with listeners, and on Monday (May 18), Billboard announced that the track has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The achievement marks Grande’s third time leading the chart, Bieber’s sixth, and their first together; it is also both singers’ third song on the Hot 100. Notably, only industry giants Mariah Carey and Drake (who m...

Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams Sing “Volcano Man” from Netflix’s Eurovision: Watch
The real Eurovision may be cancelled, but this summer Netflix is releasing Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. The new comedy is out June 26th, and instead of a traditional trailer, the streaming giant has shared “Volcano Man”, a bonkers music video performed by Rachel McAdams and Will Ferrell. In the grand Eurovision tradition, “Volcano Man” is both catchy and utterly nonsensical. It’s nothing more or less than a soaring synth pop ode to a man who lives on a volcano. “Volcano man!” Ferrell roars, as McAdams replies, “He’s got my melting heart!” The video is set on an idyllic Scandinavian fjord, and features viking attire, over-the-top makeup, and lots of Ferrell’s heavy breathing. Check out “Volcano Man” below. Via Rolling Stone, Ferrell and McAdams star as as...
Bono Names Kanye West’s “Black Skinhead” as a Song That “Saved My Life”
For his 60th birthday, U2 frontman Bono curated a list of “60 Songs That Saved My Life”. As part of the project, he penned individual letters to each of the artists behind his songs of choice. Among those receiving the a handwritten note from Bono was Kanye West, whose Yeezus cut “Black Skinhead” sounded like nothing [Bono had] ever heard before.” Bono was actually in the SNL house the night “Black Skinhead” debuted in 2013. “I was a hundred feet away from your feet,” the letter begins. “Your eyes were shut so as not to be distracted from the words you had just written around the corner.” The letter quotes some favorite lyrics, and suggests that with this performance, “It felt like hip hop wanted the black leather jacket back from rock ‘n roll…. and the rock ‘n roll sil...
Dropkick Murphys to Play Audience-Less Concert From Fenway Park With Bruce Springsteen
In the early days of COVID-19, Dropkick Murphys were one of the first bands to stage a digital concert, as they streamed their annual St. Patrick’s Day concert live online. The webcast drew an audience of more than 13 million viewers and raised over $60,000 for the Boston Resiliency Fund, a nonprofit that provides essential services to Boston residents—including first responders and critical care providers — amid the pandemic. Now, the Boston punks have announced a second livestream performance that should prove even more massive. That’s because not only will they be playing live from Fenway Park, they’ll be joined via video by Bruce Springsteen. The digital concert, aptly called Streaming Outta Fenway, will go down Friday, May 29th at 6:00 p.m. EDT. Dropkick Murphys themselves w...
