On the heels of her new album, Big Time, Angel Olsen will finally share the first live performance of the LP in full. On Tuesday, July 19, Olsen will unveil the show for the inaugural Day Tripper event by Atlas Obscura, an award-winning travel and experiences company.

Olsen was accompanied by a full backing band for the album’s first-ever live performance. The concert took place in the Theatricum Botanicum in Topanga Canyon. Fans can livestream the concert through Veeps for $17.99.

“After years of canceled concerts and events, we knew one of our main priorities at Atlas Obscura was to bring people back together to experience the wonders of live entertainment in awe-inspiring, truly unique spaces, and that’s how our Day Tripper series was reborn,” Megan Roberts, Creative Director of Brand Partnerships at Atlas Obscura, said in a statement. “Working with Angel Olsen and her team to put on this spectacular concert was the perfect way to kick off our new event series, and having an opportunity to highlight Topanga Canyon’s historic Theatricum Botanicum made it even better. As the series continues to grow, we’re thrilled to be working with Veeps to bring Angel’s incredible performance to fans around the world to celebrate her first full performance of Big Time.”

Tell Us More About This New Wedding Comedy With Will Ferrell And Reese Witherspoon

A new wedding comedy starring Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon has been scooped up by Amazon after a bidding war across the various streamers. The untitled pic will be directed by Nick Stoller, who recently directed the upcoming Bros, as well as comedy favorites Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Neighbors. While details are being kept hidden like the bride’s gown before the wedding day, the film will reportedly center on two weddings accidentally booked for the same venue on the same day.

Naturally, Ferrell, Witherspoon, Stoller’s production companies will be heavily involved. Via The Hollywood Reporter:

The trio are also producing via their respective banners: Ferrell is producing with Jessica Elbaum via Gloria Sanchez; Stoller will produce with his Global Solutions shingle partner Conor Welch; and Witherspoon is producing with Lauren Neustadter via Hello Sunshine, with the company’s Ashley Strumwasser exec producing.

The untitled wedding film marks an increased dip into streaming content for both Ferrell and Witherspoon, who each have projects on Apple TV+. Ferrell was recently seen on The Shrink Next Door while Witherspoon can be seen alongside Jennifer Aniston on The Morning Show. However, this marks the first time the actors will headline a project together after both were marquee stars during the 2000s thanks to hit films like Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Legally Blonde, Walk the Line, and countless others.

Jordan Peele Wants To Be The Martin Scorsese To Daniel Kaluuya’s Robert De Niro

Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro have worked together so many times that they have their own Wikipedia page. Not the Martin Scorsese Wikipedia page or the Robert De Niro Wikipedia page, although those both obviously exist, but the “Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro” Wikipedia page. The collaboration began with 1973’s Mean Streets — since then, they’ve made nearly a dozen films together, including Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The King of Comedy, Goodfellas, and The Irishman.

Jordan Peele wants for him and Daniel Kaluuya what Scorsese and De Niro have.

“It’s so funny,” the Nope writer and director told Empire, “but by the point I was in the middle of [shooting] Get Out, that’s what I was telling him. I was like, ‘You’re my De Niro, man. You’re my De Niro.’ I was like, ‘I need you to be in the future ones too, man!’ You could just tell what we had in him as a performer, from the very beginning.”

Peele has directed three movies, two of which star Kaluuya: Get Out and Nope.

Scorsese is still going strong at 79 years old (his next film, Killers of the Flower Moon, comes out later this year, and yes, it stars De Niro). There’s still time for him to direct a movie with De Niro, Kaluuya, and Peele (who’s also a very good actor). Or maybe Peele can remake After Hours with Kaluuya in the Griffin Dunne role. Would I watch that? Yup.

Nope opens on July 22.

Nick Cannon Laughs At A Claim That He Was Caught In Bed Wearing A Cheerleader Uniform With Kel Mitchell

Nick Cannon is no stranger to headlines. More times than not, they have to do with his growing list of children and his inability to put a lid on his cannon. It was just a few months ago that Kevin Hart gifted Nick a condom vending machine for Valentine’s Day due to the latter having so many kids — eight to be exact. With that being said, Nick’s latest headline appearance has nothing to do with his baby-making ways. Instead, it comes after Cannon was accused of being in bed with someone while wearing an interesting piece of clothing.

In a TikTok, Tyisha Hampton, who is the ex-wife of actor Kel Mitchell, known for his roles on the Nickelodeon shows All That and Keenan & Kel, claimed that she discovered Cannon wearing a cheerleader uniform in bed with Mitchell. Hampton said that Cannon did this with Mitchell to “cheer him up because he cheated on me.” After catching wind of her claim, Cannon could do nothing but laugh.

“Yep!! Probably had the Big ear of corn, a bunch of orange soda and a couple of kids choice awards up our ass too!” Cannon wrote with a slew of laughing emojis under an Instagram post that reshared Hampton’s initial video.

You can view Hampton’s video and Cannon’s response above.

Noted Socially Awkward Comedian Nathan Fielder Rehearses Every Interaction Ahead Of Time In ‘The Rehearsal’ Trailer

Last month, Nathan Fielder returned from a brief hiatus to tease his newest project, The Rehearsal on HBO, after nearly five years of working on side projects and hacking the Emmys. Today, Fielder dropped the trailer for the upcoming series, which looks like The Truman Show meets an early 2000s MTV reality show. Which is perfect!

The trailer shows Feilder rehearsing for everyday situations and conversations, with the most elaborate situations possible. As he explains, “If your performance isn’t accurate, it could ruin someone’s life.” The stakes are high, here. He also has a cute cat and a not-so-cute robotic baby.

As with most of Fielder’s shows, the concept is a little hard to explain, and even with the trailer, who really knows what we are getting. Here is the official synopsis:

Nathan Fielder returns to television for a new series that explores the lengths one man will go to reduce the uncertainties of everyday life. With a construction crew, a legion of actors, and seemingly unlimited resources, Fielder allows ordinary people to prepare for life’s biggest moments by “rehearsing” them in carefully crafted simulations of his own design. When a single misstep could shatter your entire world, why leave life to chance?

The series will July 15th. Check out the trailer above.

Kevin Durant Tweeted Praise For Chet Holmgren After His Summer League Debut

Kevin Durant knows a thing or two about being a young star for the Oklahoma City Thunder. While he joined the team back when they were the Seattle SuperSonics, Durant was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft and was the face of the franchise right up until he left to join the Golden State Warriors.

Apparently, someone else who went No. 2 overall and plays for the Thunder caught Durant’s eye on Tuesday night. Chet Holmgren, who the team selected in the most recent NBA Draft, made his professional basketball debut at the Salt Lake City Summer League, and led the Thunder to a beatdown of the Utah Jazz. Durant tuned into the game, and after it was over, the Brooklyn Nets star took to Twitter to praise Holmgren’s performance and compliment him on the pair of KD 15s he wore during the game.

Holmgren saw the tweet and sent some love back to Durant.

While it comes with all the usual caveats about a Summer League game, Holmgren showed off his entire skill set during the Thunder’s 98-77 win. The former Gonzaga standout and No. 1 recruit in America put up 23 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and a Summer League record six blocks on the evening.

Report: Baker Mayfield Is Headed To The Panthers For A Conditional Fifth Round Pick

The Baker Mayfield era in Cleveland has come to an end. According to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Mayfield, who the team selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft and has served as its starter for essentially his entire career, is getting the change of scenery he has wanted for months and will head to the Carolina Panthers.

The report indicates that Mayfield is going there for a conditional fifth-round draft pick, while both of the teams and Mayfield figured out how they want to handle the matter of the former Heisman Trophy winner’s salary.

The deal comes nearly four months after Mayfield requested a trade. While that obviously did not happen until now, Cleveland spent that time trying to get its quarterback position all sorted out, as the team acquired Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans one day after Mayfield asked out. Watson is currently under investigation following more than 20 allegations of sexual misconduct, and reports have indicated that the league would like to suspend him for at least a season — with Mayfield out of the picture, the team’s presumed backup is Jacoby Brissett.

The Browns and the Panthers are slated to play one another in Charlotte during the NFL’s opening weekend. The Panthers’ current options at quarterback are a pair of returning players, Sam Darnold and PJ Walker, along with 2022 draft pick Matt Corral.
