Michael J. Fox gives an in-depth look into his legendary career and harrowing battle with Parkinson’s disease in Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie. The Davis Guggenheim-directed film, comprised of documentary and archival footage along with scripted elements, premieres Friday (May 12) on Apple TV+.
The Canadian actor, who rose to stardom as Alex P. Keaton in the 1980s sitcom Family Ties, went on to find success on the silver screen starring in cult classics like Teen Wolf and Back to the Future.
Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991 at age 29. He continued to act for almost two decades before officially retiring in 2020 and releasing the bestselling memoir, No Time Like the Future: An Optimist Considers Morality.
Fox reflected on the moment he decided to retire in a recent interview. “I thought of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood,” he recalled. “There’s a scene where Leonardo DiCaprio’s character can’t remember his lines anymore. He goes back to his dressing room and he’s screaming at himself in the mirror. Just freaking insane. I had this moment where I was looking in the mirror and thought, ‘I cannot remember it anymore. Well, let’s move on.’ It was peaceful.”

An 18-year-old man who was charged in the 2020 fatal shooting of rising Brooklyn rapper Pop Smoke admitted to killing him during a home-invasion robbery at a Hollywood Hills home in juvenile court Friday (May 12), according to City News Service.
The man, who was 15 at the time of the crime, admitted to a first-degree murder charge stemming from the Feb. 19, 2020, killing of Pop Smoke (real name Bashar Barakah Jackson). He also admitted to a home-invasion robbery charge as well as an allegation that he personally and intentionally discharged a firearm during the crime.
He is expected to be held in a state juvenile facility until he turns 25.
City News Service reported that during the hearing, L.A. County Superior Court Judge J. Christopher Smith told the 18-year-old man and his 19-year-old co-defendant, the latter of whom admitted to a juvenile court petition charging him with home-invasion robbery, “That man lost his life over no good reason. … You have no right to take somebody’s life. You have no right to take somebody’s property.”
The 19-year-old man and a third, 20-year-old man, who pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and another count of home-invasion robbery during an April 6, 2023-dated hearing, could both remain in juvenile custody until they turn 25. The names of all three men are not being publicly released because of their ages at the time of the crime.
Only one of the four men who were charged in the killing of Pop Smoke, Corey Walker, is being charged in adult court because he was 19 at the time of the crime and is now 22. City News Service reports he is awaiting a pretrial hearing scheduled for June 16 in L.A. on murder, robbery and burglary charges.
Lily-Rose Depp and 070 Shake are Instagram official.
The actress to her her Stories on Friday (May 12) to celebrate four months dating the “Skin and Bones” rapper (real name Danielle Balbuena) with a sweet photo of the duo sharing a passionate kiss. “4 MONTHS WITH MY CRUSH,” Depp wrote over the photo.
The romance confirmation comes three months after rumors began swirling around the couple when they were spotted out and getting cozy during Paris Fashion Week in February.
It’s turning out to be an exciting year for Depp, who’s set to star in HBO’s The Idol alongside The Weeknd, who co-created the show along with Reza Fahim Euphoria mastermind Sam Levinson.
In the show, she’s set to play pop star Jocelyn, whom Depp says is inspired by pop divas of the past. “Of course I’m a Britney [Spears] fan!” the Hollywood progeny told W magazine of the stars she was channeling during her audition for the series. “Who doesn’t love Britney? But I was also thinking about Beyoncé, Mariah [Carey], and every huge pop star of our time. I wanted Jocelyn to be the kind of woman who can dominate a room, someone who doesn’t ever shy away from their sparkle.”
Suzanna Son, Rachel Sennott, Troye Sivan, Dan Levy, Mike Dean, Moses Sumney, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Hank Azaria, BLACKPINK’s Jennie and more are all set to appear in the show, out June 4 on Max (previously HBO Max).
Cumulus Media’s share price climbed 11.9% to $3.30 on Friday (May 12) after the company announced it commenced a “modified Dutch auction” tender offer to purchase up to $10 million of shares of its common stock at up to $3.25 per share. That news led to a 19.1% improvement this week and made Cumulus, the third-largest radio company in the U.S. by revenue, the week’s top performer on the Billboard Global Music Index.
Radio companies have suffered from an advertising slowdown since the second half of 2022. Two weeks ago, Cumulus CEO Mary Berner cited “considerable macro-driven weakness in the national advertising market” when the company announced its first-quarter revenue declined 11.4% to $205.7 million and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization fell 66.9% to $10.3 million. To shore up its bottom line and share price, which has fallen 46.9% year to date, Cumulus has cut costs — it also announced an additional $10 million of annualized savings — and retired debt at a discount. The Dutch auction is part of its previously announced $50 million share repurchase program and is “is consistent with its goal of maximizing shareholder value,” the company said in a statement.
The Billboard Global Music Index, a composite of stocks of 21 music companies across the global music industry, declined 2.8% to 1,203.04 last week. Nine of the index’s stocks were in positive territory, 10 stocks declined and one stock was unchanged. Year-to-date, the index has gained 3.0%.
Sphere Entertainment Co. declined 28.9% this week after the company disclosed on Wednesday that construction costs for the state-of-the-art venue in Las Vegas had increased $125 million to $2.3 billion. Sphere blamed the increase on the “overall complexity of the project” and noted it had made “significant progress” towards completing the structure before U2’s inaugural performance on Sept. 29.
The stock market in general performed better than the Billboard Global Music Index. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.3% and 1.1%, respectively. The Nasdaq composite index improved 0.4%. In the U.K., the FTSE 100 index dropped 0.3%. Korea’s KOSPI composite index fell 1.0%.

We’ll have more new releases throughout the show, but let’s get to our lead story. Country star Jimmy Allen is facing sexual assault allegations and has been suspended from his label in a civil lawsuit filed Thursday in Tennessee federal court. An anonymous accuser says that Allen manipulated and used his power over her job to sexually harass and abuse her over a period of 18 months from 2020 to 2022. Hours after news broke of the allegations, Allen’s record label suspended the artist, saying in a statement in light of today’s allegations against Jimmy Allen, BBR Music Group has decided to suspend all activity with him effective immediately. This suspension includes ceasing radio promotion on his current single ‘Be All Right,’ which climbs 59 and 57 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart dated May 13. Additionally, Allen has also been removed from the performer lineup for this year’s CMA Fest. In a statement to Billboard the country singer admitted to a sexual relationship with this accuser, but denied all allegations of wrongdoing, saying in part, I’ve worked incredibly hard to build my career, and I intend to mount a vigorous defense to her claims and take all other legal action necessary to protect my reputation.

A song that reminds me of my motherhood would have to be ‘Indigo,’ the song that I sing with my husband because that was obviously the song that we dedicated to her and it’s kind of like the song that we played for her during my whole pregnancy and then when she was born, and so it’s a special one. And with my mom, I’d have to say Shania Twain, ‘looks like we made it’ — what’s that? What’s the name of it? ‘Look how far we’ve come my baby.’ ‘Still the One’!
