Could The CW have one last Arrowverse crossover up its sleeve? Following remarks made by Tom Cavanagh at a convention over the weekend, TVLine has confirmed that the Flash vet will appear in the series finale of Superman & Lois, appropriately titled “It Went By So Fast.”
Cavanagh originally hoped to direct the pivotal episode, having previously helmed the Season 1 finale and Season 3 premiere, but the gig was already promised to frequent Superman & Lois director Gregory Smith. That’s when showrunner Todd Helbing got an idea, one that will leave fans theorizing for months to come.

The one-off supergroup Gbi — Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl and Anthrax members Charlie Benante and Scott Ian — have unveiled their cover of the Bad Brains song “The Regulator.”
The trio had previously announced the single as a Record Store Day (April 20th) vinyl release, and on Sunday (April 21st), they unleashed a music video for the track (watch below).
Upon the initial announcement of the single, Scott Ian revealed the story behind the collaboration: “Anthrax were recording our new album at [Grohl’s] 606 [studio] and the Foo’s were there rehearsing at the same time. Dave had popped into the studio to hang and listen to what we were doing and we’d gone over to hear the Foo’s rehearse. I texted Dave the next morning and said: ‘Hey! Good to see ya the other day. Are you rehearsing today? I’ll be there doing guitars. Wanna record a Minor Threat song?...

Dave Grohl paid tribute to his one-time Nirvana bandmate Paul McCartney (technically, it’s true!) with a rendition of “Live and Let Die” at the Love Rocks NYC benefit concert Thursday night, March 7.
The Foo Fighters frontman gave a characteristically full-throated performance of McCartney’s hit 1973 James Bond theme song. Though he strained a bit to hit some of the high notes during the ballad-y sections and left the “You know you did” refrain to the backing vocalists, he attacked the hard rock portions the way only Dave Grohl can.

Anthrax members Scott Ian and Charlie Benante have teamed up with Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl for a cover of Bad Brains’ “The Regulator” that will be released as a vinyl single on Record Store Day (April 20th).
The rock legends got together when Anthrax were recording their new album at Grohl’s Studio 606, forming the one-off outfit G.B.I.. While Benante is best known as the drummer in Anthrax (as well as the current incarnation of Pantera), he played bass on the Bad Brains cover, letting Grohl handle drums and lead vocals, while Ian laid down the guitar track.
As Ian mentioned in an Instagram post, proceeds from the single will benefit Bad Brains singer H.R., who is suffering from Sunct Syndrome, which causes cycles of intense headaches that make it impossible for him to perform.
The Anthrax guitarist gave the full details on the cover song as follows:
“Gbi!

“Addiction is a family disease,” says Jakob Nowell, the 28-year-old son of late Sublime frontman Bradley Nowell. “Rock & roll is a family disease, man. I seek to keep it in the family.”
Jakob bears an eerie sonic and physical resemblance to his dad, who was also 28 when he died of an overdose in 1996, cutting his band’s career short on the brink of superstardom. This April, at Coachella, Jakob will make his official debut as the new lead singer and guitarist of Sublime, alongside his dad’s original bandmates, drummer Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson.

The Coachella 2024 lineup is here in all of its glory, and joining headliners Lana Del Rey, Tyler the Creator, and Doja Cat will be two special ‘90s reunions: No Doubt and Sublime, the latter of which will perform with Jakob Nowell, son of the band’s original frontman, Bradley Nowell.
The reunited Sublime first came together in December 2023, when the band’s original bassist and drummer — Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh, respectively — enlisted Jakob to perform with them at a benefit concert for Bad Brains’ frontman, H.R. At the show, the trio was billed as “A special performance by Jakob Nowell, Eric Wilson, and Bud Gaugh,” but now, they have formally “reunited,” and will be playing as Sublime, right and proper.

Sublime members Eric Wilson (bass) and Bud Gaugh (drums) reunited to play a set of the band’s songs with late singer Bradley Nowell’s son Jakob on guitar and vocals on Monday night (December 11th). The gig at Los Angeles’ Teragram Ballroom was part of a benefit for legendary Bad Brains frontman H.R.
Prior to the show, Wilson hadn’t shared the stage with Gaugh for 10 years. Following Bradley’s passing in 1996, Wilson and Gaugh formed the act Sublime With Rome (featuring singer Rome Ramirez) in 2009, but Gaugh exited the outfit a couple years later citing his reluctance to play Sublime songs “without Brad.”
On Monday night, Jakob looked very much like his legendary dad as he performed shirtless alongside Wilson and Gaugh, playing eight Sublime songs. The trio kicked off the set with “April 29, 1992 (Miami),” and rocked classics like “Wrong Way,” “What I Got,” and “Santeria” along the way,...

H.R., singer of legendary punk band Bad Brains, has opened up about his debilitating battle with Sunct headaches.
Sunct headaches — Short-lasting Unilateral Neuralgiform with Conjunctival injection and Tearing — is a rare form of headache that is marked by bursts of moderate to severe burning, piercing, or throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head and around the eye or temple, according to the National Institutes of Health.
H.R., who turned 67 in February, underwent brain surgery in 2017 in hopes of alleviating the condition. Unfortunately, his headaches returned a year after the surgery.
“I have sharp, stabbing pains every couple of minutes in my brain for a couple of hours,” H.R. told Rolling Stone in a new interview. “Then it goes away — and then it comes back.”
As a result of the condition, H.R. was recently forced to cancel a planned solo tour, which exacerbated his already dire financial situation.

Now that The Flash, the current elder statesman of superhero television, has officially taken his last run, the obvious question is: What’s next?

The CW Arrowverse as we all once knew it is over. And while The Flash movie is finally set to arrive in theaters next month, there’s little guarantee that its—or, really, any—version of Barry Allen will transfer into this brave new world that Gunn is spearheading.

At the climax of Joel Schumacher's 1995 film "Batman Forever," the title hero (Val Kilmer) treks out to a foreboding island where the Riddler (Jim Carrey) is hiding out with an infernal machine and a kidnapping victim. He flies there in his Batwing airplane, while Robin (Chris O'Donnell) follows in a newly built Batboat, a ridged, H.R. Giger-like hydrofoil with an enormous bat tail. Batman and Robin stand next to the Boat for one scene as Robin gets in. In the following scene, Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones) misfires missiles at the Batboat from the Riddler's home base, handily blowing it up. It was on screen for maybe two minutes. Why take a Batboat at all?
The cynicism within all of us will instantly point out that the Batboat was included in "Batman Forever" for purely commercial reasons; it was clearly an excuse for Warner Bros. to market one additional...

Patrick Harrison, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ longtime top official in New York, has been let go by the organization, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The exit of Harrison was communicated to the Academy’s roughly 1,000 Tri-State area members in an email sent last Friday by Academy CEO Bill Kramer and president Janet Yang. The official began his career in 1991 as an assistant to the Academy’s executive administrator and left in 1995 to work on awards campaigns at Miramax. He then returned to the Academy in February 2001, serving as director of New York programs and membership until July 2022, when he was promoted to VP member relations and global outreach.
“Since we met with you in October, there have been some changes in the Tri-State operation,” Kramer and Yang’s missive acknowledged. “As some of you know, Roger [Mancusi, Harrison’s deputy] left the Academy in the fall, and Patrick has been on leave.
