JOHNNY NASH: "I Can See Clearly Now." Because I'm hoping for a bright, sunshiney day. NEW RELEASES: Paste will point you to Natalie Merchant, The Tallest Man on Earth, Brian Dunne, and more.

ROYAL TRUX's Neil Hagerty has been arrested for attacking Denver police officers. HALSEY split from Capitol Records over their TikTok strategy. THE NUMBER ONES looks at the playfully flirty "Touch My Body," Mariah Carey's last chart-topper before the Christmas revival. WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Super Mario Bros levels up with a record setting 87MM second weekend on a mere 41 percent drop. The Pope’s Exorcist looks to place with 8.5MM, while Renfield will likely show with 7.7 MM. CLINT EASTWOOD is beginning to close in on directing what is being internally billed as the final film of his career. THE NEXT JAMES BOND will likely be in his 30s and not particularly well-known. NICOLAS CAGE names his Top 5 Nic Cage films. TIMOTHEE CHALOMET and... Kylie Jenner? GUY RITCHIE is reportedly being sued by a writer who claims The Gentleman copied scenes from a script he wrote. THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER, featuring a certain vampire, has a trailer online. TOP GUN: MAVERICK was not mammoth on streaming (which may be the flip side of its mammoth theatrical run). AMAZON is looking to exploit MGM properties like Robocop, Stargate, Legally Blonde, Fame, Barbershop, The Magnificent Seven, Pink Panther and The Thomas Crown Affair. BARKOUR! Barkour! DEAD BIRDS, converted into drones. A POSSUM disrupted a Mets broadcast.
