Model Suing Kanye West Alleges Rapper’s Behavior on Music Video Set ‘Just Felt Wrong’

The footage was not included in the final cut. “I feel like he was like trying to touch as much as he could,” she told the news network.

Watch Green Day Clown on and Inspire a Band in ‘Nimrods’ Movie Trailer

They could be the “Anal O.G. Dogs” or they could be the “Analog Dogs,” but either way doesn’t matter since these teens got the improbable opportunity to open for Green Day on New Year’s Eve based on a demo tape. That’s the gist of the trailer for Nimrods: A Green Day Comedy, a road-trip movie in which not everything goes smoothly. It opens Aug. 14. Filmmaker Lee Kirk, who wrote and directed the picture, based the story on Green Day’s salad days when they toured in a van before Dookie made them world famous.

“It’s about the experience that Green Day had on the road in the early days of more of a DIY spirit,” Armstrong told The Hollywood Reporter last September when the film premiered with the title New Years Rev at the Tribeca Film Festival. “We played anywhere and everywhere, and a lot of shows would get shut down because the cops would come. But there’s also the mud fight that happened at Woodstock. Lee did a great job of incorporating all of those elements that we’ve had in the past.”

Billy Ray Cyrus Reveals He Suffered Temporary Vocal Paralysis After a Near-Fatal Battle With Sepsis

Billy Ray Cyrus has a lot to celebrate with his new album, The Hill, arriving on June 16, but he had other hills to conquer, including a health crisis, before reaching this point. In a new interview, he revealed that he suffered a near-fatal experience with sepsis in 2024. He noted how the health crisis led to a subsequent diagnosis of temporary vocal paralysis.

In his interview with People, Cyrus didn’t disclose too many details about the health scare, but said he was diagnosed with the condition back in 2024 and consequently faced vocal paralysis, describing the bout as a “very broken moment of my life.” He called his bounce-back a “miracle” crediting his grandson Bear (the 5-year-old son of Braison Cyrus) for helping him see the light in a dark time.

“You can’t control me/Unless you owe me/And you don’t own me/Unless I blow you,” White shouts on “Dollar Bill” just after the track launches into an erratic, bluesy guitar solo. The single is the third track to be shared as a preview for the record, following “Derecho Demonico” and “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs,” both released earlier this year.
