Few Hollywood stars can truly claim to be in an echelon above the renowned A-list, but George Clooney has effortlessly risen to such heights. Renowned not only for his chiseled jawline & riveting performances—cue the gripping visual masterpiece Gravity, which amassed an astronomical $723 million at the box office—Clooney embodies the epitome of a real hero.
But did you know that even his highest-grossing movie, the breathtaking outer space odyssey Gravity, would be overshadowed by the sheer opulence of Clooney’s Lake Como villa? Indeed, the star’s phenomenal movie success pales in comparison to the whopping $107 million of his Italian retreat.

Vor etwas mehr als zweieinhalb Jahren eröffnete die Familie Lochmann in Leonberg einen Kinoanbau, der mittlerweile seinen Platz im Guiness-Buch der Rekorde hat. Eine Verschnaufpause gönnte man sich danach nicht. Aktuell bringt man gleich zwei große Projekte auf die Zielgerade – und plant die nächsten Schritte.
Stillstand ist nicht ihr Ding: Marius und Heinz Lochmann. (Credit: Lochmann Filmtheaterbetriebe)
Man wähnt Marius Lochmann geradezu in seinem Element, wenn man ihn an einem Freitagnachmittag auf einer Baustelle trifft. Oder besser: Im Foyer zwischen mehreren kleinen Baustellen. Denn auch wenn im Traumpalast Esslingen an etlichen Stellen gerade Hand angelegt wird, kann der Betrieb weiterlaufen. Und das bei dem regnerischen Wetter, das unsere Stippvisite begleitete, offenbar mit recht ordentlichem Zuspruch. Zumindest seitens des Familienpublikums. Klar: So richtig prickelnd waren die Zahlen in den vergangenen Wochen auch im Traumpalast-Schnitt nicht. Aufs Gemüt schlägt dem Hausherrn die Schwächephase aber nicht, vielmehr überwiegt sichtlich die Vorfreude auf die nächsten abgeschlossenen Projekte.

Golden Years, written by Petra Volpe and directed by Barbara Kulcsar, is an incredibly simple, comfortable piece of work. It concerns the plight of a long-married couple: Alice (Esther Gemsch) and Peter (Stefan Kurt). At Peter’s retirement party, their children gift them with a luxurious cruise vacation. Alice is looking forward to it. Peter is not. Then, all of a sudden, Alice’s best friend Magalie (Elvira Plüss) dies. Her husband Heinz (Ueli Jäggi), Peter’s best friend, is distraught. In a fit of sympathy (and perhaps selfishness) Peter invites Heinz to join them on the trip. Alice, of course, does not approve. It’s one of many budding fractures in a union that may break with more time spent together. Alice quickly realizes this cruise will not strengthen their marital bond. It will, in fact, do the opposite.

If there was one rock ‘n’ roll star in the world of pop art, it was Andy Warhol. He crossed paths with classic rock stars numerous times and even painted the cover of one of John Lennon’s albums. The record in question has an interesting reference to John’s childhood. In addition, the “Imagine” singer revealed what he thought of Warhol and one of the painter’s contemporaries.
The cover Andy Warhol made for a John Lennon album is stunning
In 1986, six years after John’s death, his estate released the album Menlove Ave. It was named after the street John lived on as a child. The record gave fans a peek into who John was. It includes some of his lesser-known songs as well as covers of classic hits such as “To Know Him Is to Love Him” by The Teddy Bears and “Angel Baby” by Rosie and the Originals.

Mick Mars scored a victory in his ongoing legal battle with Mötley Crüe Tuesday when a Los Angeles judge agreed that the rock veterans had unjustly “refused” to cough up the dirt on its wide-ranging business dealings as it simultaneously sought to oust its founding guitarist early last year.
In a new court ruling obtained by Rolling Stone, the judge said the band’s stonewalling left Mars with no choice but to sue for the corporate documents last April. The Los Angeles judge noted that after the filing, the band...

Yellow Submarine was the third movie featuring The Beatles during the 1960s. The Beatles didn’t have much input in the film, even though it featured their likeness and music. However, John Lennon said they did impact the film more than people might believe, as one character came from a concept he pitched.
John Lennon pitched a character for ‘Yellow Submarine’ that was used
1968’s Yellow Submarine is an animated jukebox musical featuring the music of The Beatles. It’s the third theatrical film featuring their music following A Hard Day’s Night and Help!. However, The Beatles were less involved in the film, as they only recorded and performed the music. Other actors provided their voices.
The plot revolves around Pepperland, a music-loving town that’s been invaded by the music-hating blue meanies, who have drained the color and joy from the land. The Beatles are sent a message...

In early May, we travelled to Nashville to spend a couple of days with Mick Mars and hear about his bitter departure from Mötley Crüe. Mars stepped away from the touring unit in late 2022 after 41 years in the group he co-founded. He’d been suffering from the debilitating bone disease ankylosing spondylitis for decades, and life on the road simply became too painful to endure. In his telling, they used this as an excuse to violate legal agreements and deny him his share of band proceeds. The matter is currently...

Mick Mars Has Spent a great deal of time thinking about his own death, which will happen, he estimates, in about eight years, tops. There won’t be a funeral or memorial service of any kind. Instead, the Mötley Crüe guitarist wants the cremated remains of his body — which has been ravaged for nearly 60 years by the disfiguring bone disease ankylosing spondylitis — packed into a lead urn. “I want them to take it into an airplane and drop it into the center of the Bermuda Triangle,” he says. “I want...
