Siouxsie Sioux and Iggy Pop have loaned their voices to a new advertisement for Magnum ice cream, teaming up for a duet version of Pop’s 1977 hit, “The Passenger.”
Arranged by composer Sarah deCourcy, the new take on “The Passenger” reimagines the song in an ethereal setting, with a slower tempo and a silky soundscape of harps and strings. Over top, Pop and Sioux take turns singing lines from the verses before delivering the song’s “La la la la” refrain together.
Released earlier in April for Magnum ice cream’s “Pleasure Express” campaign, the song is the first new recording from Sioux since her 2015 single, “Love Crime.” Speaking about the duet, she said, “I love this song, and I’ve always loved Iggy’s voice. I adore how instinctive and spontaneous it all feels and to hear my voice with Iggy’s is such a dream.”

Bob Barker, a television game show icon best known for his decades-long run as the original host of the “The Price Is Right,” has died of natural causes in his Hollywood Hills home, his longtime publicist Roger Neal told TheWrap. Barker was 99 years old.
“It is with profound sadness that we announce that the World’s Greatest Mc who ever lived, Bob Barker has left us,” Neal said in a statement sent to TheWrap. Neal shared the news on behalf of Barker’s longtime companion Nancy Burnet.
“I am so proud of the trailblazing work [Bob] Barker and I did together to expose the cruelty to animals in the entertainment industry, and working to improve the plight of abused and exploited animals in the United States and internationally,” Burnet said in a statement. “We were great friends over these 40 years.

Siouxsie Sioux performed for the first time in a decade on Wednesday at Ancienne Belgique in Brussels.
While her set was dominated by Banshees songs from “Spellbound” to “Happy House” to their Beatles’ cover of “Dear Prudence,” Siouxsie also performed tracks from her 2007 solo album Mantaray, including “Here Comes That Day” and “Into a Swan.”
The British musician, best known as the lead singer of Siouxsie & The Banshees, last played live at Yoko Ono’s Meltdown festival at London’s Royal Festival Hall in 2013. Later this month, Sioux will head to Pasadena,...

It’s been at least decade since Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxsie and The Banshees fame played a proper live show, but that changes this year! Ahead of the enigmatic musician’s European tour this year, she had a warm-up show in Brussels at the Ancienne Belgique, performing a set that included many a Banshees classic.
Along with some of Siouxsie and The Banshees’ best-known songs like “Spellbound,” “Arabian Nights,” and “Cities in Dust,” Sioux also dug up her covers of The Beatles’ “Dear Prudence” and Iggy Pop’s “The Passenger.” She also played a few songs from her 2007 solo album Mantaray.
And although Sioux’s hair has gotten a bit tamer since the Banshees’ heyday — and she’s swapped out the winklepicker boots for sensible sneakers — you could say her stage presence is still pretty “spellbinding” (sorry), complete with plenty of high kicks and weirdo moves. Kids, here’s a real “Wednesday dance” for you.

There were no shortage of memorable group dances throughout the eight seasons of Dance Moms. Nearly every week the Abby Lee Dance Company Junior Elite Competition Team competed a new number at a dance competition. The team’s teacher, Abby Lee Miller, always stressed the importance of the group winning. With few exceptions, the group was typically Miller’s top priority. Of course, some group dances stuck out to fans more than others. Here are five group dances that still stand out to us years later.

We couldn’t make a list about memorable group dances without including Party, Party, Party. After all, it was the group dance featured in the very first episode of Dance Moms. While it wasn’t the best group dance of all time, the costumes were super fun and the girls had a lot of energy.

On Saturday, a bombshell report from the opinion pages of the San Francisco Chronicle whipped up #NativeTwitter into a frenzy. The report, authored by Jacqueline Keeler (Diné/Yankton Dakota Sioux), claimed that venerated White Mountain Apache/Yaqui activist Sacheen Littlefeather had fudged her identity and, according to Littlefeather’s sisters, wasn’t actually Native.
This comes four months after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences sent Littlefeather an apology for her mistreatment at the 1973 Oscars, when she stepped in for Marlon Brando and declined the award because of Hollywood’s portrayal of Native Americans.
And it comes mere weeks after Littlefeather’s death.
For the controversial reporter Keeler, who’s been accused multiple times of conducting unethical and racially charged “witch hunts” to “out Pretendians,” the timing seemed awkward at best and arch at worst.
Not only that, but Keeler’s article has stirred up a lot of complicated emotions for Native people,...

In 1987, Dan Trachtenberg was too young to see John McTiernan’s R-rated Predator, but the older kids in his karate tournament carpool insisted on telling him the whole movie anyway. And at the time, Trachtenberg distinctly remembers a story involving Sonny Landham’s half-Sioux tracker, Billy Sole, who died in a dramatic fight with the Predator. The only problem is that no such scene exists, something Trachtenberg would later figure out. Billy does decide to face the creature head on, but the scene cuts away, leaving the audience with only his blood-curdling scream to infer death.
Oddly enough, rumors have persisted for years that Billy Sole’s full death scene was included in rare VHS releases or TV edits, but there is no concrete evidence to support that such a scene is anything but a myth. Thankfully, a mere rumor led to something very real 35 years later.

“A long time ago, it is said,” an unseen voice says, “a monster came here.” The year is 1719; neither Arnold Schwarzenegger nor Jesse “The Body” Ventura will be so much as a glimmer in anyone’s eyes for centuries. The place is the Northern Great Plains of what will one day be called the United States of America. For the Comanche Nation, this is home: the forests where they hunt, the streams where they fish, the ground where they find roots for medicine. It’s where Naru (Amber Midthunder), a young woman,...

Prey, the latest film in the Hollywood series, breaks new ground in its authentic portrayal of Indigenous Americans, thanks to its Comanche producer and Sioux lead
Would you be surprised to learn that Native Americans used toothbrushes? Or would you be more surprised to learn this from a Predator film? At the same time as giving us the usual invisible alien-inflicted butchery, Prey, the fifth and latest instalment of the franchise, delivers its first history lesson.
This lithe, primitivist reinvention takes place in 1719, when a band of Comanche find themselves becoming quarry for one of the intergalactic trophy-hunters who has turned up a few centuries too early to run into Arnold Schwarzenegger. Packed with authentic period detail (such as the Indigenous oral hygiene), it’s probably the first big-budget film about Native Americans since 1992’s Last of the Mohicans.
