Classic rock songs from the 1990s definitely had a huge impact on the rap-rock of today but it’s hard to see its influence on Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism or most of her songs. Regardless, the “New Rules” singer explained how a certain subgenre of 1990s rock had a big impact on her attest record. She said one 1990s song in particular takes her breath away.
Dua Lipa compared ‘Radical Optimism’ to 1 classic song
“Britpop” is one of those musical terms that is ubiquitous in the United Kingdom but lesser known in the United States. “Britpop” is the name of a genre of British rock music that became popular in the 1990s. It was a form of alternative rock with catchy melodies and upbeat lyrics that stood in stark contrast to grunge music. While grunge was inspired by punk rock, Britpop drew more from polished 1960s bands like The Beatles.

The stunt took weeks of preparation. Building a tank. Training with freedivers and magicians. Developing the filming schedule.
The end result of the effort, a new episode of YouTube star Michelle Khare’s series Challenge Accepted in which she attempted to recreate Harry Houdini’s deadliest trick, has since garnered more than 4.5 million views on YouTube.
The final product has a production quality that would rival what’s on “traditional” TV (in fact, magician David Blaine attempted a similar stunt for a 2006 primetime ABC special), but Khare produced the episode herself, for her YouTube audience.
“For Challenge Accepted because we release very infrequently — unlike a normal season of television, it’s about 10 to 15 episodes a year — and within each of those episodes, we are representing a unique community,” Khare says in an interview. “So for example, in the video where I attempted Harry Houdini’s deadliest magic trick, we’re...

Dua Lipa has kept busy lately as she gears up to release her third album. While appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday to promote her upcoming single “Training Season,” the pop star detailed her packed schedule.
“It seems like you’re very, very, very busy. Like maybe busier than anyone in the whole world. Is that true?,” asked Kimmel. The multi-hyphenate agreed that she’s had a lot going on, saying, “I don’t know about anyone in the whole world, but busy.”
When the host asked what Lipa’s daily schedule is like, the Grammy-winning artist noted she’s “obsessed” with her schedule, planning every move in advance. “I plan everything, like…I’d put in ‘have a shower’ and ‘get ready.'” Kimmel was incredulous, questioning, “No, come on. Is it really showers [on your schedule]?”
Lipa then confirmed that “everything [on her schedule] is down to the minute.” She even makes sure...

Dua told the magazine, “I’m not very good at therapy, to be honest.” She prefers taking care of her mental health by practicing meditation and yoga.
“As much as I’m disciplined in so many areas of my life — or I try to be — I have a little bit of a harder time locking myself down to talk about how I feel,” she explained. “I think that in part is down to the fact that I think I have a really easy communication with my friends. I talk to my friends about everything that’s happening.”

After stealing the show at the VFX Oscar bake-off on January 13 at the Academy Museum, “Godzilla Minus One” has gone from sleeper to potential frontrunner. Director and VFX supervisor Takashi Yamazaki effectively emphasized how his small team of 35 artists completed 610 shots on a minuscule budget (reportedly $15 million for the entire production). He wowed the branch members with his demo reel of Godzilla’s fierce destruction, his creative ability to overcome his limitations, his graciousness toward his artists, and his dry wit.
Indeed, by outmaneuvering the other studio Goliaths with his underdog “Godzilla,” Yamazaki earned the biggest applause and now has momentum going into the nominations on January 23. His film has already grabbed more than $50 million at the U.S. box office, with a grittier black-and-white theatrical version set for January 26. No wonder one of the competing VFX supervisors proclaimed it the frontrunner after the bake-off.

Singer Dua Lipa felt “so upset all the time” when she first found fame. The 28-year-old pop star put out her self-titled debut album in 2017 but admitted she was left miserable during the promotion period after “spreading (herself) too thin” so vowed never to let herself get into that situation again.
“There were so many moments, I think, when I first started when I was just in back-to-back-to-back, like, constant photo shoots, traveling and doing performances and not wanting to miss any opportunities – especially in America – when I was doing late-night TV or breakfast telly or whatever,” she said on Kiss FM, reports aceshowbiz.com.
“A lot of the time, I had to get up and perform and for one American show, I had 30 minutes before we started taping to just try to figure out a routine and dance and perform and do the thing. If I could, I’d have completely changed that.

When you tell folks you’re going to interview legendary magicians Penn & Teller, someone is liable to ask: “How are you going to do that? Does Teller even talk?”
If you have more than a passing knowledge of the pair — who have been hosting the magic game show Fool Us since 2011 — you’ll know what’s a silly question. Although, as part of their act, Teller keeps mum, in person the two are your classic goofball and straight man. Penn Jillette carries running jokes to their breaking point, in this...
