Bass legend Peter Hook has spoken to NME about why he believes Joy Division and New Order are yet to be honoured by the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame – and his current tour, where he’s playing the album ‘Get Ready’ in full. Check out our full interview below. Hooky played with Joy Division until they became New Order when Ian Curtis took his own life in 1980, before parting ways with the band in 2007 – leading to years of legal battle and trading barbs.

directing duo Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard made waves with 20,000 Days On Earth, their unconventional 2014 documentary about Nick Cave that followed a fictional day in the beloved musician’s life. Their latest film takes a similarly inventive approach to celebrate the life of Marianne Faithfull. The set-up is a little goofy. A sharp-suited Tilda Swinton takes on the role of Overseer Of The Ministry Of Not Forgetting – and makes Faithfull the subject of her first research project. Her timeless 1964 single ‘As Tears Go By’ put her at the forefront of British music making it big in America…
Dwayne Johnson knows how to rock the box office. Thanks to a starring role in The Fast & Furious universe and the rebooted Jumanji: Welcome To Jungle, he’s become one of the highest-paid actors in the world.

Written and directed by Benny Safdie, this biopic of former Mixed Martial Arts fighter Mark Kerr (AKA The Smashing Machine) is inspired by the 2002 HBO documentary of the same name. Pulling no…

As we’ve learned from watching the New Heights podcast, Travis Kelce‘s got jokes. Which is why it was no surprise when the Kansas City Chiefs’ three-time Super Bowl champ had a pithy quip when asked by reporters on Thursday (Sept. 4) to describe the biggest change in his life since recently getting engaged to longtime love Taylor Swift. “I got one more ring for it, two if we’re counting the first Super Bowl, ” Kelce said at a news conference in São Paulo, Brazil in advance of the Chiefs’ season kick-off game against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to the…
Sydney Sweeney has shut down any discussion of her American Eagle jeans controversy in a new interview. In July, the Euphoria star drew criticism for her involvement in the American Eagle Jeans campaign, which many online have accused of having racially charged undertones. Both Lizzo and Doja Cat have criticised the campaign, while Sweeney was heckled at a recent film premiere, with an onlooker shouting: “Stop the ad, that is being racist!” American Eagle released a statement in early August, saying: “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story”. The commercial received…
