Jannik Sinner defeats Carlos Alcaraz to win first Wimbledon title

Jannik Sinner of Italy wins over Novak Djokovic of Serbia during the Australian Open AO 2024 Grand Slam tennis tournament on January 26^ 2024 at Melbourne Park in Melbourne^ Australia.

Italian Jannik Sinner beat defending Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz in four sets on Sunday, to take the men’s title for the first time in his career.

The No. 1 seeded Sinner is now a four-time Grand Slam champion, who battled back after dropping the first set to Alcaraz to win the men’s final 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, in a match that lasted three hours and four minutes.

After their rematch of the French Open final in June – where Alcaraz ultimately took the victory – Sinner said during an on-court interview after Sunday’s final: “It’s so special .. I had a very tough loss in Paris. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how you win or lose, you have to understand what you did wrong. That’s what we did … “We tried to accept the loss and just kept working and this is for sure one of the reasons why I hold this trophy right here.”

With Sunday’s victory, Sinner has now won every Grand Slam except the French Open. Before this year, he had never made it further than the semifinals at the All England Club.

Scotty McCreery at the Academy of Country Music Awards 2017 at T-Mobile Arena on April 2^ 2017 in Las Vegas^ NV

Scotty McCreery is set to release his new EP ‘Scooter & Friends‘, due out July 18. Produced by Frank Rogers, the project features contributions from Hootie & the Blowfish, Lee Brice and one of McCreery’s biggest musical idols, R&B legend Charlie Wilson.

McCreery shared: “Back home everyone calls me ‘Scooter,’ so since I’m singing with a few of my favorite artists, I decided to call this project Scooter & Friends. It’s a fun collection of songs that are a little different from what I normally sing, yet they are still me. If the fans like it, maybe there will be a second volume in a few years.”

The first single from Scooter & Friends, “Bottle Rockets” featuring Hootie & the Blowfish, is a hit at country radio; and the next single, “Once Upon a Bottle of Wine,” ft. Charlie Wilson and co-written alongside Brent Anderson, Derek George, Jeremy Bussey and Frank Rogers, it out now; stream: HERE.

McCreery says: “I have been a massive fan of Charlie Wilson since I first heard him on the radio when I was a kid. He’s one of my favorite artists of all time. Getting to perform with him on stage a few years ago was a bucket list item for me. Being able to call him a friend means more than I can say. And now, having him sing with me on a song I wrote is a dream come true.”

Wilson added: “My ‘Charlie Last Name Wilson’ song was one of his favorites when he was growing up and I never knew he was a fan, so when we finally met years ago I was blown away with that huge voice and had him jump on stage with me. He brought the house down that night and now I’m so excited that we have a duet together.”

See the final trailer for ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ reboot featuring Freddie Prinze Jr.

Freddie Prinze Jr. hosts a panel at Motor City Comic Con. Novi^ MI - May 14^ 2022

Sony Pictures has released the final trailer for the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot, featuring returning franchise stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. as they help a new group of teens outrun a killer.

Prinze Jr., 49, and Hewitt, 46, reprise their roles from the original 1997 film as Julie and Ray, with the horror sequel picking- up after the events of 1998’s I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.  The two reunite to help five friends defeat the franchise’s terrifying and murderous fisherman; and at the end of the new trailer, Hewitt’s Julie James delivers her famous line from the original 1997 film: “What are you waiting for?”

A synopsis for the new film reads: “When five friends inadvertently cause a deadly car accident, they cover up their involvement and make a pact to keep it a secret rather than face the consequences. A year later, their past comes back to haunt them and they’re forced to confront a horrifying truth: someone knows what they did last summer … and is hell-bent on revenge. As one by one the friends are stalked by a killer, they discover this has happened before, and they turn to two survivors of the legendary Southport Massacre of 1997 for help.”

Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers and Sarah Pidgeon portray the young people who find themselves in danger after concealing a fatal car accident.  Billy Campbell, Gabbriette Bechtel, Austin Nichols, Lola Tung and Nicholas Alexander Chavez also star in the film, which opens in theaters July 18.

Legendary rock band Foreigner is teaming up with Long Island University’s Post Theatre Company and the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts to bring a brand-new musical to the stage: Feels Like The First Time: The Foreigner Musical.  Foreigner will also perform at a special benefit concert on September 5, 2025, at the 2,200-seat Tilles Center, hosted by original lead singer Lou Gramm.

The original production will be directed by Broadway veteran Adam Pascal—known for roles in Rent, Aida, Cabaret, Chicago, and Something Rotten. Pascal also holds the distinction of being LIU’s first-ever Artist-in-Residence.  The musical will feature 14 of Foreigner’s most well-loved songs, with the fully produced world premiere scheduled to run from April 17-26, 2026, at the Little Theatre on LIU’s campus.  Said Pascal: “I’m proud to be directing this project and thrilled to be LIU’s first Artist-in-Residence. Having grown up on these songs, it’s incredibly meaningful to help bring this musical to life.”

Foreigner’s manager Phil Carson said of the project: “We’re proud to collaborate with LIU’s emerging theatrical talent to give our music new life on stage. Feels Like The First Time celebrates the timeless quality of Foreigner’s hits in a brand-new way.”

Tom Dunn, Executive & Artistic Director of the Tilles Center and Dean of the College of Arts & Design at LIU, adds: “This marks the launch of our New Works Initiative—a new effort between Tilles Center and LIU to create original stage productions. What better way to start than with Foreigner’s iconic music and the involvement of our talented students and local community.”

Mick Jones, Foreigner’s founding member and primary songwriter, said, “When I wrote ‘Feels Like The First Time,’ I never imagined how far it would take us. To see it become the title of a full musical is incredibly rewarding. I’m confident Adam Pascal and the team will craft something special—just in time for Foreigner’s 50th anniversary in 2026.”

See Maroon 5’s video for ‘Priceless’ featuring Lisa

Adam Levine arrives for Baby2Baby 10 Year Gala Presented by Paul Mitchell on November 13^ 2021 in West Hollywood^ CA

Maroon 5 have teamed up with Blackpink singer Lisa on their new single “Priceless,” marking Maroon 5’s first new single in two years.

Frontman Adam Levine says: “It’s just a guitar-based song which we haven’t really done in so long. It happened first for us while we were recording the album. I think it’s just the purest and we are so happy to have Lisa on it,  The guitar intro is literally me playing into an audio message on my iPhone with an unplugged guitar. I actually got a little emotional recording ‘cause it was sort of reconnecting to our roots, which a lot of our fans have been saying ‘Hey, we want to hear that sound again.’ It’s been like over 20 years so I think it’s time for that to return.”

The  band released the song and an accompanying music video directed by Aerin Moreno, which shows Levine, 46, learning that his “mark” is Lisa, 28, as he proceeds to flirt with her in a restaurant. Levine pursues Lisa, with the video ending with the duo dancing in the dark.
