The two-time Grammy-winning producer and songwriter is known for his work on Destiny's Child's "Say My Name" and Sam Smith's "Stay With Me," among many other hits. Rodney Jerkins y HarbourView Equity Partners has acquired part of Grammy Award-winning songwriter/producer Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins‘ royalty catalog, the Newark, N.J.-based entertainment company said on Thursday (May 29). The deal was facilitated by Chapter Two, a Stockholm-based tech company that gathers royalty data for catalog buyers and sellers to forecast future income and speed up the due diligence process. With backing from Swedish House Mafia‘s DJ Axwell and Sebastian Knutsson, one of the founders of the mobile phone gaming company King, Chapter Two has also facilitated acquisition deals for music rights to tracks by Lil Nas X and BTS. Jerkins, who was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame earlier this year, is known for co-writing and producing Destiny’s Child‘s “Say My Name,” which won a Grammy for Best R&B Song in 2000, and producing Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me,” which won the Record of the Year Grammy in 2014. His list of hit songs also includes “Telephone” by Lady Gaga featuring Beyoncé, “Déjà Vu” by Beyoncé featuring Jay-Z, Brandy and Monica‘s “The Boy

The band ties for the most months at No. 1 since the chart's 2019 launch. Coldplay perform at Narendra Modi Stadium on Jan. 25, 2025 in Ahmedabad, India. Anna Lee Coldplay was back on the road in April, extending the group’s reach to Hong Kong and Goyang, South Korea (14 miles from Seoul). According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, the British band is No. 1 on the monthly Top Tours chart, with $67.4 million in the bank and 502,000 tickets sold. Coldplay has been one of the most dominant acts on the Boxscore charts since the 2022 kickoff of the Music of the Spheres World Tour, reigning over seven Top Tours charts. The band’s touring calendar has become an accurate predictor of chart results: Its last batch of shows was in January, which matches its sixth monthly victory. Before that, Coldplay had dates in November, aligning with its fifth monthly win. Coldplay has only one show scheduled in May, but a busier calendar throughout the summer immediately makes the band prohibitive competition for the top spot over the next several months. With its April triumph, Chris Martin & Co. tie Bad Bunny and Elton John for the most months

As part of the World Social Forum of Intersections (FSMI), the Committee for Human Rights in Latin America (CDHAL) and the Women’s Committee of the Immigrant Workers Centre (IWC/CTTI) came together to organize a powerful workshop on a reality that is too often ignored: the lives of undocumented women in Canada. To be a woman, a migrant, racialized… and without status. What does it mean to live through this triple marginalization in a city like Montreal? For hundreds of thousands of women in this country, it means living with the constant fear of arrest. It means working without protection, without rights, without a safety net. It means being excluded from healthcare, education, and decent housing. It means being rendered invisible by a society that benefits from their labour while denying them even the most basic human recognition. In the face of this structural violence, women are organizing. For over eight years, the Women’s Committee of the IWC has been breaking the silence. Composed of migrant women with or without status, the committee fights for full regularization and recognition of their dignity. Their struggle is built on resistance, solidarity, mutual care, and collective empowerment. The workshop held during the FSMI was

Get ready for some truly unexpected news from the world of acclaimed cinema! Lynne Ramsay, the visionary director behind intense films such as We Need to Talk About Kevin and You Were Never Really Here, plans to reunite with an actor she has previously worked with, according to IndieWire. And the choice might just raise a few eyebrows. “I’m making a vampire movie,” Ramsay recently revealed to The Los Angeles Times, adding, “It’s with Ezra Miller who was in ‘Kevin.’ He’s the main character. That’s in development.” This is significant news for several reasons. Firstly, Ramsay is a formidable figure in international cinema. She has only made five feature films in the last 25 years. That includes Ratcatcher, Morvern Callar, We Need to Talk About Kevin, and You Were Never Really Here. Her latest, Die, My Love , premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Secondly, the decision to work with Ezra Miller again comes after a period marked by significant controversy and legal troubles for the actor. Miller’s career, including their prominent role as The Flash in DC films, has been overshadowed by them. Documented Controversies Surrounding Miller (according to NPR): March 2022 (Hawaii): Miller was arrested and charged with

In Los Angeles, a car completes the look. It’s the last article of clothing that we put on before heading out, an accessory, like shoes, that is at once intensely personal and a functional necessity. Our cars are meant to telegraph our achievements, our sense of self, even our political and social beliefs — witness all the Teslas in the Netflix lot plastered with “Elon Sucks”-style bumper stickers. But they are also our Wakanda, a protective sanctuary, armoring and enriching us in our voyage between home, work, meetings and social engagements. L.A.’s streets and highways thus become a catwalk, and nearly everyone — from the valet at Musso & Frank to the guy waiting at the bus stop bench to one’s boss — is an Anna Wintour-level critic: deeply aware of the context and category and ready to issue a withering opinion. Nowhere is this truer than in the entertainment industry, where everything in L.A. is distilled to its essence. Consider the prominence of vintage cars in the Apple TV+ satire The Studio, in which Seth Rogen’s peacocking studio head parades around in an MG, a Corvette and a Studebaker, among other statement whips. So what do A-listers and top
