Stevie Nicks postpones shows after shoulder injury
Washington DC [US], August 3 (ANI): Singer-songwriter Steve Nicks has been forced to postpone her upcoming tour dates for the next two months after the iconic singer fractured her shoulder, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "Due to a recent injury resulting in a fractured shoulder that will require recovery time, Stevie Nicks' scheduled concerts in August and September will be rescheduled," Nicks shared in a statement posted on Instagram. "Please note that October dates will be unaffected." Nicks' tour was originally slated to start in Brooklyn on August 8, but now the debut date will be October 1 in Portland, Oregon. Other impacted dates include shows in Detroit, Toronto, Boston and Tampa, among others, as per the outlet. "Stevie looks forward to seeing everyone soon and apologizes to the fans for this inconvenience," the statement said. The complete list of rescheduled shows is available on Nick's Instagram post below, as per the outlet. Nicks' announcement comes a week after she and former Fleetwood Mac bandmate Lindsey Buckingham had revealed that they would finally be reissuing their lone studio album, Buckingham Nicks, in September. That record was considered a commercial letdown at the time of its release in 1973, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975, helping the band to become one of the best-selling music acts of all time with over 120 million records sold worldwide. In 1981, while remaining a member of Fleetwood Mac, Nicks began her solo career, releasing the studio album Bella Donna, which topped the Billboard 200 and has reached multiplatinum status. Nicks has garnered eight Grammy Award nominations and two American Music Award nominations as a solo artist. She has won numerous awards with Fleetwood Mac, including a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1978 for Rumours. On April 19, 2024, singer-songwriter Taylor Swift referenced Nicks in the song "Clara Bow" from her eleventh studio album The Tortured Poets Department (2024).(ANI)

'I have to break that cycle': Lindsay Lohan on being pigeonholed by past roles
Washington DC [US], August 3 (ANI): Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan opened up on being pigeonholed by roles she has played in the past as a longstanding actress in the entertainment industry, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Lohan began her career at age 10 on the soap opera 'Another World', with her breakthrough in the 1998 Walt Disney Pictures film 'The Parent Trap'. She went on to appear in many more projects, including 'Freaky Friday' and 'Mean Girls', and she is next set to reprise her role in the former film with the 2025 follow-up Freakier Friday. Lohan shared that she "wanted to take a minute" for herself, which kept her away from leading roles from 2013 until 2022. "I was losing that feeling of excitement about doing a film, and I wanted to live my own life for a bit, figure out how to have a more private life, a real life," she said, adding, "I wanted to wait to get that itch again." A new project Lohan is excited about is her upcoming Hulu Drama, Count My Lies, in which she will star and produce. While talking about her career, when asked if she felt "pigeonholed," she replied, "Yeah, I do," according to The Hollywood Reporter. "I was so thrilled to work on A Prairie Home Companion, and yet even today, I have to fight for stuff that is like that, which is frustrating. Because, well, you know me as this -- but you also know I can do that. So let me! Give me the chance," Lohan said. "I have to break that cycle and open doors to something else, leaving people no choice. And in due time, if Martin Scorsese reaches out, I'm not going to say no." At the Los Angeles premiere of Freakier Friday, Lohan shared that moving forward in her career, she would " like to take on some more serious, dramatic roles," further noting that she felt a bit of pressure to stick to the rom-com genre.

Josh Brolin on why he is uncertain about sequel to The Goonies
Washington DC [US], August 3 (ANI): Hollywood actor Josh Brolin shared why he is uncertain about a sequel to the 1985 adventure comedy film, 'The Goonies'. Brolin explained his hesitation toward a potential follow-up and what it would take to get him onboard during the premiere of Zach Cregger's much-anticipated horror film 'Weapons', reported Deadline. "I hope it does [happen] because the experience was so great," he said, adding, "The movie is received so well, generation after generation. It's just everything good about it. The trepidation I have is that you might release something else that taints it. I don't want to taint what my memory of it is." The Oscar nominee shared about what the sequel's storyline would entail, given the fact that its release would come over four decades after the 1985 debut of the classic adventure comedy about a group of misfit kids hunting treasure in a bid to save their house from foreclosure, according to Deadline. "It's like, 'Oh, we came out with another,' and then the Goonies grew up, and then they came out with their walkers, and then they fell off a cliff because they couldn't see very well, like, what are you going to do? I don't know. Maybe it could be great. If it's great, you'll know, like if story writer Steven Spielberg approves it, you know it's going to be good. But I think there have been five scripts so far through the years, and he hasn't approved anything yet -- so me being picky, Spielberg is picky, and he has a reason to be because he has great taste," said the actor. 'The Goonies' is a 1985 adventure comedy film directed and co-produced by Richard Donner from a screenplay by Chris Columbus based on a story by Steven Spielberg and starring Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen, Corey Feldman, Kerri Green , Martha Plimpton, and Ke Huy Quan with John Matuszak, Robert Davi, Joe Pantoliano, and Anne Ramsey in supporting roles. 'The Goonies 2 'is in the works at Warner Bros., and Steven Spielberg, Kristie Macosko Krieger and Holly Bario will produce for Amblin Entertainment alongside original scribe Chris Columbus, with Lauren Shuler Donner executive producing. Potsy Ponciroli is writing the screenplay for the sequel. Plot details are currently under wraps, according to Deadline. (ANI)
