Anvil have announced their 20th studio album, One and Only, arriving June 28th. The cult thrash-metal heroes also shared the video for lead single “Feed Your Fantasy.”
The Canadian band keeps on chugging, quite literally, on the new song. The hard rock stomp and toe-tapping rhythms set up an inspiring anthem that could be about Anvil themselves, a band that never gave up on its heavy metal aspirations: “Make it all come true / Is what you do / Loving it too / Through and through.”
That Steve “Lips” Kudlow and company are surrounded by some of their biggest fans for the live performance music video drives those lyrics home. The positive energy in the clip is palpable.
“We’re more like our old selves than we’ve been in years,” Lips said of the new album, which is meat-and-potatoes old-school Anvil. “We’ve dropped all our more modern aspects, particularly the ’90s version of Anvil.

Fish out of water comedy film “Jonny Keep Walking” climbed to the top of the mainland China box office in its second weekend on release. Previous winner, “Shining for One Thing” dimmed quickly and tumbled to fifth place.
The first weekend of the new year and following a welter of Christmas-New Year releases, the latest weekend represented a reordering of holdover titles, rather than a session with an injection of significant fresh movies.
“Jonny,” in which a man from the countryside struggles to hold down a corporate job in a big city, earned $22.4 million (RMB159 million) from Friday to Sunday, according to data from consultancy Artisan Gateway. That was a modest fall from the film’s $26.1 million opening frame and elevated its cumulative total to $77.5 million since debuting on Dec. 29.
The film is directed by Peng Da, aka Dong Pengcheng, the prolific actor-writer-director who released two other films in 2023:...

Even on her day off, Adele, the regular person, can’t escape Adele, the superstar singer.
It’s Monday, and she rolls into one of her favorite Beverly Hills restaurants for lunch, makeup-free with her hair pulled back. She’s in an oversized, comfy, long black coat, and the only real giveaway are her long sharp black nails. And, of course, her screeching laugh.
But then her song, the sweeping ballad “One and Only,” from her 21 era, comes on.
She laughs. “Every time Rich travels,” she says of her partner, sports superagent Rich Paul, with whom she lives in Beverly Hills, “the airplanes always play my music, and we can’t work out if it’s because they know that we are together, or if it’s just what they do.”
Later, the power pop ballad “Set Fire to the Rain,” plays in the background.

Adele has announced that she’s extended her residency at Caesars Palace with concerts planned through November 4. Her residency is currently on hiatus but will return on June 16.
“Playing to 4,000 people for 34 nights is not enough. I know that, so I am coming back,” Adele told the audience in what was scheduled to be her last Las Vegas performance.
Adele Concert Setlist
The singer also stated that the upcoming performances would be recorded for a live concert film.
Adele began the first leg of her residency last November. This came after a sudden postponement due to an unsatisfactory stage setup and Covid-19 complications. The singer said that this time period was the worst moment in her career. She later added that the first couple of months were difficult, but she was proud of herself for sticking it through.

In the midst of a packed weekend of wrestling we’ve got this special “unification” Nxt pay-per-view, which sees Nxt and Nxt UK brands take each other on to unify the two brands into one now that Nxt UK is being closed down. Let’s see how the UK contingent fare in this PPV (badly is my guess – a burial seems on the cards) that aired at a sensible time for us UK fans to watch live without dying of exhaustion the next day!

What does it feel like to be the only child in your family? What does it feel like if you are only allowed to have one child in your lifetime? What does it feel like if you were to lose your only child? Directed and edited by Zheyu Liang, “One and Only”, a feature documentary, is an intimate exploration of the unintended consequences of China’s One Child Policy (late 1970s – 2016).
Grounded in cinema verité, the film takes a personal and nuanced look at three one-child families that are each navigating their mother-son relationships and building towards an uncertain tomorrow for everyone involved. This immersive and observational film interweaves three only-child families’ stories. They vary by age and stage of life, but by paralleling, contrasting and juxtaposing them, we see the issues they all hold in common – when a family is only allowed to have one child or when you are the only child,...

Welcome back to American Idol! Last night the men delivered a round of mostly lackluster performances, but as you know, girls just want to have fun (and sing Adele, probably), so I had high hopes for tonight. Ryan Seacrest kicks things off doing a little cheer because Scotty McCreery is contractually obligated to return to the show in a few weeks. He then introduces the judges: Jennifer Lopez! Randy Jackson! The "controversial" Steven Tyler, who seems mostly asleep until someone mentions a girl in a short skirt. He's like a pervy dormouse.
