Director of Greg Allman Movie Denied Release from Jail

January 22, 2016

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia judge has turned down early release from jail for the director of the movie about Gregg Allman’s life who was sentenced in the death of a camera assistant. Former “Midnight Rider” director Randall Miller had asked to be freed after serving less than half of his two-year sentence. He had pleaded guilty last March to involuntary manslaughter and trespassing in the death of Sarah Jones. She was killed in February 2014 when the movie had set up on a train bridge without permission and a freight train came through.

John Legend and Juanes Play for Detainees in Arizona

January 21, 2016

ELOY, Ariz. (AP) — John Legend and Colombian musician Juanes played a show yesterday for people who they were not sure could even hear them. They played outside a jail in Eloy, Arizona, where undocumented immigrants were being held. Legend and Juanes performed on a flatbed truck and sang two of their own songs and one song together, Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song.” Their intention was for the detainees to hear the music. However, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement it kept inmates in their cells because of concerns “an unsanctioned concert” within view of the recreation yard might provoke a disturbance. Legend told the crowd of about 100 outside the jail that they were there to bear witness to what’s happening so they can tell the world about it. Legend and Juanes toured the facility before the concert and spoke to the detainees.

Four Members of ABBA Show Up to Restaurant Opening

January 21, 2016

STOCKHOLM (AP) — ABBA has reunited! And that was it and now they’re off in their own lives again. The four members of ABBA made a rare joint appearance yesterday in Stockholm for the opening of a restaurant owned by Bjorn Ulvaeus. They did not sing a note or pose for pictures. The restaurant is inspired by the ABBA musical “Mamma Mia!” and is set in the Greek islands, but it has a different story. Musicians and actors interact with waiters and guests, and singalongs to ABBA tunes are encouraged. Benny Andersson was asked if ABBA will ever perform again, and he said, “I don’t think so.”

The Weeknd is nominated for co-writing “Earned It” from “Fifty Shades of Grey.” He tweets, “It can’t get more surreal than this” and it’s “truly a proud moment.” The other nominees are “Manta Ray” from “Racing Extinction” and “Simple Song Number 3” from “Youth.” The Oscars will be given out February 28.
