Barry Keoghan Has Drummed Up The Ringo Starr Role In Sam Mendes’ Beatles Biopics, According To Ringo Starr

Barry Keoghan’s star launched into the stratosphere with Saltburn like a flood of bathwater. From Masters Of The Air to the Peaky Blinders movie, he has continued plucking up prestige roles everywhere, and Sabrina Carpenter’s boyfriend isn’t done yet. Keoghan has been rumored to portray one of the Fab Four in Sam Mendes’ quartet of The Beatles biopics, each devoted to Starr, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison.

Although casting picks haven’t been confirmed by Sony, Entertainment Tonight caught up with Starr, and the outlet quoted his reaction to the Keoghan chatter: “I think it’s great,” he declared before adding, “I believe he’s somewhere taking drum lessons, and I hope not too many.”

Deadline further notes that other actors who are “circling” roles include Harris Dickinson (soon to be seen in A24’s Babygirl with Nicole Kidman) as John Lennon as well as Paul Mescal and Joseph Quinn (both currently starring in Gladiator 2) for Paul McCartney and George Harrison, respectively. Still, none of these names are set in stone until Sony says otherwise, but Ringo is more than suggesting that he’s got the inside dish, at least for his own likeness.

As for Ringo’s hopes that Keoghan isn’t practicing too hard on those drumming skills, this is surely a joke intended for those who are critical of Ringo’s own contributions to The Beatles. During a resurfacing of that discussion in 2017, The Guardian pointed towards the words of Dave Grohl (he remains so hardcore about drumming that he treats the guitar as a kit), who threw his weight behind Starr during his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame presentation: “Define ‘best drummer in the world. Is it someone that’s technically proficient? Or is it someone that sits in the song with their own feel? Ringo was the king of feel.”

According to a Sony Pictures Entertainment press release, Mendes’ four movies “will intersect to tell the astonishing story of the greatest band in history.” The project is tentatively scheduled for a 2027 theatrical rollout.

Indie Mixtape 20: Man/Woman/Chainsaw Sound At Ease On ‘Eazy Peazy’

Man_Woman_Chainsaw by Ella Margolin FEATURED
Ella Margolin

You’d be mistaken if you thought Man/Woman/Chainsaw have been a band longer than they actually have, but you wouldn’t necessarily be at fault.

They’ve recently released their debut EP, Eazy Peazy, a five-track collection of wiry post-punk tunes as elastic as Mrs. Incredible. The London-based quintet — composed of Lola Cherry, Billy Ward, Clio Harwood, Vera Leppänen, and Emmie-Mae Avery — sounds completely at ease, owning their muscular songs with panache, like they’ve already got their core sound distilled to its most essential components. Let’s hope a full-length album comes soon.

Following the EP’s release earlier this month, Ward (and Cherry, for one question) sat down with Uproxx to talk about AI cat videos, stick-and-poke tattoos, eating bananas before performing, and more in our latest Q&A.

What are four words you would use to describe your music?

Shark/Diamond/Sword/Tigress

It’s 2050 and the world hasn’t ended and people are still listening to your music. How would you like it to be remembered?

We’d like the EP to be remembered as a workout playlist for the ages!

Who’s the person who has most inspired your work, and why?

Each other! We find inspiration in each other’s different styles of playing.

Where did you eat the best meal of your life and what was it?

We had really good ramen in Rotterdam when we played Left Of The Dial! It was yum.

Tell us about the best concert you’ve ever attended.

Cherry: Amyl And The Sniffers last week was up there! They’re amazing!

⁠What song never fails to make you emotional?

“Whole Of The Moon” by The Waterboys.

Where’s the weirdest place you’ve ever crashed while on tour?

We had a pretty strange night in a big old building above a nightclub in Halifax recently — lots of floors/tents and student accommodations!

What’s your favorite city in the world to perform and what’s the city you hope to perform in for the first time?

We love Glasgow! Looking forward to our headline at King Tut’s next year! We really want to play in Helsinki and New York.

What’s one piece of advice you’d go back in time to give to your 18-year-old self?

That was like last year for us. Not a ton has changed.

What’s one of your hidden talents?

Lola is an excellent beatboxer!

⁠If you had a million dollars to donate to charity, what cause would you support and why?

We’d put money towards support and medical aid for the conflict in Palestine.

What are your thoughts about AI and the future of music?

They make great videos of cats doing stuff online, but no AI can shred bass like Vera, so for now, we’re fine!

You are throwing a music festival. Give us the dream lineup of 5 artists that will perform with you and the location it would be held.

Linkin Park c. 2001, The Stones in ’73, Beastie Boys, Chappell Roan, and evil Man/Woman/Chainsaw (a parallel universe evil twin version of ourselves). The venue would be under the sea.

Who’s your favorite person to follow on social media?

AI cats and the guy who talks about the etymology of things.

What’s the story behind your first or favorite tattoo?

Clio has a stick and poke which is our only tattoo between us. It’s a snake!

What is your pre-show ritual?

Three beers no dinner! Hair gel and I eat bananas before we play.

Who was your first celebrity crush?

Clio was in love with George Harrison when she was age 3.

You have a month off and the resources to take a dream vacation. Where are you going and who is coming with you?

We’d be the first band in space!

What is your biggest fear?

Space!

Eazy Peazy is out now via Fat Possum Records. Find more information here.

Kendrick Lamar Is Going To Release A Deluxe Version Of ‘GNX,’ According To A Collaborator

Kendrick Lamar 2024
pgLang

Los Angeles has a lot to celebrate. First, the Dodgers won the World Series. Then, Kendrick Lamar released a surprise new album, GNX, featuring many of the city’s rising underground rappers, including Dody 6, Wallie The Sensei, and Lefty Gunplay. The latter was a guest on a recent episode of The Bootleg Kev Podcast, where he discussed working with Kendrick on “TV Off.” He also teased a deluxe version of GNX.

When asked by host Bootleg Kev if there was more stuff he cut to the “TV Off” beat, Lefty replied, “Yeah, I rapped on that beat. Got some stuff… I know he’s got a deluxe version coming out.”

A release date for GNX (Deluxe) is unclear.

You can watch the interview here.

A few months before GNX came out, Lamar spoke with SZA for Harper’s Bazaar. When he was asked about crying in public, Lamar replied, “The first time I allowed it to happen is documented, actually, onstage [in 2011] when Dre and Snoop and the whole West Coast was out, and they was like, ‘This is the torch that we were handing off.’ Dre passed me the torch, and a burst of energy just came out and I had to let it flow,” he said. “My tears is all on the internet. And now I look back and I love that moment. I love that that happened. Because it showed me in real time expressing myself and seeing all the work that I put forth actually come to life in that moment.”

The Very Worst Thanksgiving Dishes, Ranked From Mildly Offensive To Truly Putrid

The Absolute WOrst Thanksgiving Dishes Ever(1024x450)-Recovered
Uproxx

Thanksgiving is a strange holiday. Problematic roots aside, it’s all about getting together with every member of your family, including the ones you specifically make an effort to never see, to eat lukewarm food together way too early (Thanksgiving dinner at 4 pm? Get the f*ck out of here). By the end of the night, half of the family is going to get locked into weird political conversations — especially this year — while the other half is going to leave to go on a suspiciously long walk and come back with bloodshot eyes and an insatiable craving for seconds.

All of that is weird enough, but politics and lukewarm food aside, the weirdest part of Thanksgiving is just how awful the combination of foods can be if you play it wrong. Sure, some families are blessed with multiple members who have real skills in the kitchen, making Thanksgiving dinner a legit spread of delicious flavors, but that’s not everyone’s family. And for every universally delicious dish like mashed potatoes, warm gravy, gooey macaroni and cheese, and decadent pumpkin pie, there are at least two Thanksgiving staples that in any other year, you’d never eat.

Candied yams, canned cranberry sauce, the abomination that is Ambrosia — why the hell are we forcing ourselves to like these dishes? Who decided to make these the staple dishes of this Holiday, and have they ever been invited to another Thanksgiving Dinner since? We think not. So, to mark the holiday, we’re here to rank the very worst Thanksgiving sides, from mildly offensive to so bad you’re probably going to get kicked out of the family if you bring them.

Let’s eat! Or, you know… not.

9. Turkey

Shutterstock

Why We Hate This Dish:

Is it weird to put turkey on a list of the worst Thanksgiving foods considering it’s the centerpiece dish of the whole holiday? Only in optics! Look, I don’t have anything against turkey itself, but during Thanksgiving, the person who cooks the turkey is usually the person who has always cooked the turkey. What I mean by that is that the person responsible for this dish is given that responsibility because of tradition, not because they’re skilled in the kitchen. And there are a lot of ways to f*ck up a turkey!

Thanksgiving is a holiday that centers around food that is usually cooked elsewhere and then re-heated hours, maybe even days, later. This causes dishes like turkey, to dry out. A lot of people also don’t bother to brine or even dry-brine their bird, which, again, adds to the dryness. I’m not saying it’s impossible for turkey to be good at Thanksgiving, I’m just saying it’s unlikely.

The Bottom Line:

Yes, it’s the centerpiece of the holiday, but it doesn’t have to be.

8. Apple Pie

Pexels

Why We Hate This Dish:

I don’t hate apple pie, I just think of the famous Thanksgiving pies, apple is always a letdown. To quote Prince, “dig if you will the picture:” you just finished dinner and now you’re looking for a dessert. “We have pie!” says your cousin’s wife. You eagerly walk to the kitchen, plate in hand, and find not a pumpkin or pecan pie, but a f*cking apple pie.

Is it even worth it to get a slice? We don’t think so. You know who ends up with an apple pie on Thanksgiving? The person who hit the market too late.

The Bottom Line:

The only Thanksgiving pie that inspires disappointment.

7. Glazed Carrots

Shutterstock

Why We Hate This Dish:

I think we can all agree that Thanksgiving doesn’t have enough vegetable sides, but what makes me frustrated is that the vegetable sides that are staples are sh*t like glazed carrots and creamed spinach. Glazed carrots are the laziest dish a person could make, all that you need to do is toss them in brown sugar and butter, throw them in the oven, set it, and forget it.

No, literally, please forget them, nobody likes it when you show up to the table with these things, it just telegraphs to the world that you couldn’t be bothered enough to care to make an actual dish. There is a reason there is always an abundance of glazed carrots by the end of the night — people only eat them because they feel they need to make up for all the mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and stuffing they’ve already loaded up their plate with.

The Bottom Line:

A low-effort dish that people only eat because they feel like they have to.

6. Creamed Spinach

Shutterstock

Why We Hate This Dish:

I mentioned this dish in passing during the last entry so you had to see it coming! I need to know, who likes creamed spinach? Which one of you is into this dish that tastes like dirt and has the consistency and texture of a swamp puddle?

To be fair to my editor who likes creamed spinach, there is a time and place for this dish, the time and place just isn’t Thanksgiving dinner. Pair this side dish with a bloody, savory steak, not a dry as f*ck turkey and some sweet ham, and it starts to make sense. But as a Thanksgiving side, it’s one of the worst.

The Bottom Line:

Good, if you like eating dirt.

5. Candied Yams

Shutterstock

Why We Hate This Dish:

I’ve never seen a more beautiful dish visually that tastes like absolute garbage. Candied yams are just way too damn sweet! Yams are already pretty sweet on their own, but once you add brown sugar, vanilla extract, or any other sweet dessert ingredients to the dish, it makes them taste like, well, as the name would suggest — candy.

And what do you pair with this sugar bomb? Baked ham is already sweet, and roast beef pairs better with mashed potatoes and gravy, so that leaves, what, turkey? You know how we feel about that bird!

The Bottom Line:

A sweet potato casserole is always the better choice.

4. Jello Salad

Shutterstock

Why We Hate This Dish:

Oh f*ck right off.

The Bottom Line:

Enough said.

3. A Corn Dish That Isn’t Cornbread

Shutterstock

Why We Hate This Dish:

If you rolled up to Thanksgiving dinner with a bowl of corn you opened from a can and boiled, then know, everyone hates you. Boiled corn is not a dish! We’ve said it before but Thanksgiving doesn’t have enough vegetable dishes, and that’s because people keep doing the bare minimum, turning Thanksgiving into the worst potluck of all time.

The only corn-related dish that belongs on the table is cornbread. And look, you don’t have to make it from scratch either. Buy a box of Jiffy, dice up a jalapeño, mix in some Greek yogurt for added moistness, and voila! You’ve got spicy jalapeño cornbread. Tell us that doesn’t sound delicious.

The Bottom Line:

If you bring corn to the table, you’re not even trying.

2. Canned Cranberry Sauce

Shutterstock

Why We Hate This Dish:

You can make the case that when done right, like say using Uproxx’s former drinks writer Zach Johnston’s homemade bourbon-cranberry sauce recipe, this dish can pop off. A good homemade cranberry sauce can add tart and sweet dimension and complexity to various Thanksgiving staples. But most of the time, it comes from a can, and it’s awful.

The canned stuff usually has extra sugar and preservatives that not only diminish the wonderful health benefits of cranberries, but makes the stuff have a weird chemical or perfumed aftertaste that overwhelms rather than elevates.

The Bottom Line:

Great if you can make it from scratch, but most of the time its only on the table because of tradition.

1. Ambrosia

Shutterstock

Why We Hate This Dish:

Straight up, this dish is garbage. It looks like what I imagine clown throw-up looks like. Ambrosia comes from Greek mythology, and it’s supposed to be the food of the gods, who invented this dish, Hermes? Get it? Because Hermes is famous for being a prankster… too nerdy? Okay, I apologize fully for that joke, but I still stand by calling this the absolute worst Thanksgiving dinner dish ever.

This fruit salad features pineapple, mandarin oranges (both usually from a can), rainbow marshmallows, coconut, and whipped cream. Just typing that out makes my stomach turn. The result is a mix of artificial sweetness with a strange tropical undertone that doesn’t complement the herbaceous fall flavors of Thanksgiving dinner. To make this dish even worse, it’s often left out on the table instead of refrigerated, which results in the whipped cream melting and creating a disgusting puddle of swampy sweetness.

The Bottom Line:

Straight-up offensive.

The Weeknd fans are eating today, November 27: The Weeknd just announced the release date of Hurry Up Tomorrow, which is set for January 24, 2025. Shortly after, The Weeknd shared some more news: He announced a one-night-only concert at Pasadena, California’s Rose Bowl Stadium set for the day after the album drops, on January 25, 2025.

The show is set to feature “never-before-seen production” that includes a stage that “will take over the entire floor of the stadium, for a must-see in-the-round experience,” per a press release.

Tickets will be available starting December 2 at 10 a.m. PT via The Weeknd’s website.

How HBCUs Offer Comedians Community And A Unique Platform

HBCU Comedy

College campuses are often celebrated for crafting some of the brightest minds of the future. But that’s not restricted to purely academic pursuits. Many of today’s most notable entertainers paid their dues by finding and honing their voices at the local college level.

When it comes to historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), the bonds of community can keep alumni connected to their alma maters deep into their successful careers. Comedians like Roy Wood Jr., Brandi Denise, and Melanie Mitchell, for example, are known to represent and give back to the community whenever possible. And the community greatly appreciates their efforts.

“The HBCU community offers support. They want you to win and want you in spaces where they can help you win,” said Jasmin Leigh, a fellow FAMU alumna and comedian. “HBCU culture, specifically FAMU, my HBCU, wants you to succeed, and it brings them joy to be the one to help you.”

Performing at HBCUs also allows comedians to gain valuable experience with the intersection of Black audiences and younger audiences, who are often directly responsible for determining whether or not someone has staying power in music, comedy, fashion, and other areas. Leigh even argues that a college-educated Black audience is “the hardest to get to laugh; low-hanging fruit does not work, so you have to make sure your jokes mean something.”

In other words, if you can make it in a room of HBCU students, you can make it anywhere. This is why it’s critically important to create and maintain spaces where comedians, both established and those just starting, can experience that intersection for themselves. Thankfully, events like the Howard Homecoming Comedy Jam, which occurred for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic this past October, offer these opportunities.

Del Sterling, a Howard University alumnus himself, played a significant role in bringing the show back to his alma mater to kick off the school’s centennial homecoming celebration.

“The experience of going to a comedy show live” was Sterling’s first thought when asked about the benefits of bringing the show back to campus. “A number of students said that they have never been to a comedy show.”

This is different than Sterling’s time at Howard, affectionately called “The Mecca” by alumni, who remembers watching Katt Williams’ breakout The Pimp Chronicles Part 1 premiering on campus and witnessing a young Anthony Anderson take his own comedy seriously before the world even knew who he was.

This year’s event was slightly different than usual, though, with a game show format featuring only performers with an HBCU affiliation. Sterling plans on bringing a similar show back to Howard for Spring Fest 2025 and again for next year’s Homecoming with hopes of touring to different HBCU campuses in the future.

Staying connected to their HBCU roots can also help comedians recharge their creative batteries if they’re ever in a rut or need some added inspiration.

“Recently, I went to homecoming, and after being in a creative funk for almost a year, I felt refreshed strutting through FAMU’s campus,” Leigh said. “Seeing my FAMUly, being encouraged and celebrated by the things I have already accomplished, I just don’t hear the same experiences from friends who went to PWIs.”

For the uninitiated, PWI is a term that stands for “predominantly white institutions,” which is mainly used when they’re juxtaposed against HBCUs. To be fair, performers from a wide variety of backgrounds find their footing at PWIs, but HBCU alumni generally wear their alma mater as a badge of honor and carry it in all that they do.

“Although I love my school, I have to say that when I converse with others who went to an HBCU, they have a similar (never the same) experience,” said Leigh. “Being in a place where you can be yourself does something different for your self-esteem. Being celebrated in Black spaces is top tier; nothing compares.”

In addition to the brand’s various collections, it also partners with some pretty big entities, this year LHP is teaming up with NASCAR to highlight the ties between motorsports and HBCUs.

The collection is meant to highlight the impact of NASCAR’s commitment to HBCU’s (like Howard U’s NASCAR Campus Lab Program) and celebrate HBCU alumni in NASCAR like Rajah Caruth, John Cohen, and Brehanna Daniels. The collection features moto-inspired designs and jerseys emblazoned in HBCU colors and iconography.

The Dream Study collection features a mix of high-end pieces and streetwear staples, including hoodies, knit vests, t-shirts, tank tops, hats, and jumpers. The standout from the collection is the Crew Jumper which was inspired by the school’s 1960’s rowing crew and features an classic ‘60s era silhouette with a contrasting polo collar, ribbed details, and two-tone Howard branding at the chest done in the school’s iconic colors.

Dex Robinson x Nike Air Force 1

@DexRob

Why We Love It:

Remember when we said you can always count on Jordan to deliver dope HBCU collabs? Well, Nike as a whole is so committed that it has its a special annnual campaign, the Yardrunners, that has the sole task of highlighting HBCU students and alumni by partnering with HBCU trailblazers. The Nike Yardrunners label was started in 2020 and created by HBCU alumni working at Nike, so it’s a real passion project.

That’s reflected in its thoughtful collabs, like this year’s collaboration with Diallo co-founder and stylist Dex Robinson, who has designed a special Nike Air Force 1 that pays homage to his alma matters, Virginia Union University. The sneaker is inspired by the mighty Panther, VUU’s mascot, and features a shimmering pony hair upper with VUU emblems at the laces, and a stealthy all-black colorway with speckled red and black laces.

It just might be one of the greatest AF-1 colorways to drop all year!

A release date for the Dex Robinson AF-1 hasn’t been announced yet, but Robinson has confirmed on his Instagram that the shoe will be dropping around the holiday season of this year.

Megan Thee Stallion Has A Murderous ‘Hottie Homecoming’ In Her New ‘Roc Steady’ Video With Flo Milli

Megan Thee Stallion is about a month removed from the release of Megan: Act II, a reissue of June’s Megan that adds new tracks. Among them is the Flo Milli-featuring “Roc Steady,” for which Meg just unveiled a new video today (November 27).

Ahead of the video came a teaser that packed a lot of exposition into ten seconds. It started with newspaper headlines reading “Murders At RSH School,” “3 Students Found Dead,” “Mysterious Bite Marks,” and “No Suspects Found.” We then get some shorts of a “Hottie Homecoming” event in a school gymnasium, including some of Meg as a cheerleader. Indeed, that’s generally what’s going on in the full video.

Meg previously explained on X (formerly Twitter) of the song’s creation, “I called Flo milli to thee studio and she kicked me and the engineer out the room for like 45 min [laughing emoji] and when I came back in I was shooookkkk.” Flo responded, “lmaooo chill i was shy [laughing emojis] can’t let nobody see my crazy side [crying emoji] we got the job done tho.”

“Roc Steady” arrived after Meg and Flo worked together on a remix of Latto’s “Sunday Service.” Meanwhile, the new video isn’t Flo’s biggest reveal of the past few days, as she just announced she’s pregnant.

Watch the “Roc Steady” video above.
