Meryl Streep shows off her honed rock and roll chops in the new trailer for Jonathan Demme's forthcoming film, Ricki and the Flash. The family drama stars Streep as the titular Ricki, a rocker who returns home to make amends with her estranged children after finding out her daughter Julie (played by Streep's real life daughter, Mamie Gummer) has been unceremoniously dumped.
The film draws inspiration from one of rock's greatest tropes — choosing the guitar over the family — and the trailer finds Ricki grappling with her own choices while...

You may know Jenny Lewis from a few places. She had a nearly 20-year career in Hollywood, with roles in cult classics Troop Beverly Hills and The Wizard before abruptly pivoting into music with adored indie band Rilo Kiley. Lewis has also turned in critically acclaimed collaborations with the Watson Twins and her partner Jonathan Rice as part of Jenny & Johnny. She's releasing her third solo album, The Voyager, on July 29, and is touring extensively in support of it. We talked to Lewis on the heels of her performance at New York City's Governor's Ball about touring, the new record,...

"No matter how hard I try, to be just one of the guys/There's a little something inside that won't let me," sings Jenny Lewis on "Just One of the Guys," the first single off her upcoming album, The Voyager. The title is funny if only because of the fact that the song is produced by Beck. (Is that him in the background?) And while the rest of the album promises production and songwriting from the likes of Ryan Adams and Jonathan Rice, we'll let the downer parts of the song fade into its wonderfully breezy-sounding backdrop. Summertime shouldn't feel this introspective. The Voyager is out on July 29.

Before 2004, the only people who really knew who Jenny Lewis was were people who held the 1989 film "The Wizard" (a cult favorite among kids of the era) in high esteem. The film co-starred a young Lewis, who since the turn of the century had re-surfaced as the singer of Rilo Kiley, a killer shape-shifting indie rock band who were slowly picking up followers in and around their Los Angeles home. In 2004, the band dropped More Adventurous, which elevated them from quiet favorite to crossover success (based largely on the strange ubiquity of the song "It's a Hit"). On this day in 2006, Lewis broke away from Rilo Kiley and released Rabbit Fur Coat, a stunning solo album that established Watson as one of the greatest female voices in the indie world.
With an assist from the Watson Twins, Rabbit Fur Coat took the quirky melodies and conversational tone of More Adventurous...

We hope someone cut the power to Taylor Swift’s apartment last night, or else she undoubtedly spent her whole day off writing an angry symphony about how Jake Gyllenhaal took ex Jenny Lewis to the Golden Globes. Frontwoman of indie bands Rilo Kiley and Jenny & Johnny, stunning ginger Lewis dated Gyllenhaal back 2001, after which Jake moved onto Kirsten Dunst. However, before Taylor Swift commissions any artwork for her new album, “Jake Gyllenhaal: Love Demon,” we should probably let her know that all signs point to the fact that Gyllenhaal and Lewis are just friends. Jake even took then-lovah Reese Witherspoon to see Jenny perform in 2009, and has hung out with Jenny’s boyfriend Jonathan Rice. We’d want to keep Jake as a friend if we could too, if only to point to his gorgeous face and say, “See? I kissed that.” Though if we’re going to be honest with ourselves,...

Jake Ex-Girlfriend Globes Date: Taylor Swift was nowhere to be seen at Sunday's Golden Globes, but another Jake Gyllenhaal ex was in attendance... and was his date!

The singer accompanied Jake on the red carpet and sat with him during the ceremony, but before we start any romance rumors, Jenny is currently dating fellow musician Jonathan Rice (they perform together as Jenny and Johnny).

Has Jake replaced one guitar-playing beauty with another? We’re sure Taylor’s writing a song about it right now!
Jake Gyllenhaal, 30, just broke up with his short-lived girlfriend Taylor Swift, 21, but he seemed happier than ever on the Golden Globes red carpet and during the after-parties!
After an awkward interview with Ryan Seacrest, during which he seemed quite grouchy at the possibility of being asked about his personal life, Jake chatted it up with other celebrities, including Jason Segal and Jimmy Fallon. He was also spotted with his date, singer Jenny Lewis, 35, who was Jake’s girlfriend in 2001.
It seems unlikely Jake has taken up with another guitar-playing paramour, given Jenny is currently in the band Jenny and Johnny with her boyfriend Jonathan Rice. But there was certainly some awkward tension between the pair at the Weinstein / Relativity Media Party. The duo were both in attendance, but it seemed...

Jenny Lewis has spent the last 10 years fronting successful indie-pop band Rilo Kiley, yet after four albums and countless tours with the L.A.–based quartet, she was restless and ready to work outside the confines of a band. She first branched out on her own with 2006’s Rabbit Fur Coat, an Americana-inspired collaboration with folk duet the Watson Twins. Then, she went full-on solo with 2008’s Acid Tongue, an album that saw her working with a host of musicians, including Elvis Costello, Zooey Deschanel, the Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson, and a young singer-songwriter named Jonathan Rice. Lewis and Rice were no strangers before Acid Tongue. As a solo artist, he’d opened for Rilo Kiley. On tour, their relationship evolved on both the professional and personal level—the two have been dating since 2005. Today marks the release of I’m Having Fun Now, the first proper collaboration between the...

Jenny Lewis has fronted Rilo Kiley, put out a pair of solo efforts (one with the Watson Twins) and now has taken up with another musical project, Jenny And Johnny, with singer/songwriter and boyfriend Jonathan Rice. While the two have contributed to each other's musical careers starting in 2006, this album "I'm Having Fun Now" is their first under the simple moniker, with the help of producer Mike Mogis behind them. They've now unveiled the first taste of it with free MP3 download "Scissor Runner," streaming below. It's reminiscent of Rogue Wave or New Pornographers, with a pop a '90s rock...
