BILLY JOEL, with Brian Johnson on AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long," and Jimmy Fallon on 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight." Call it Twofer Monday.

CLOUD NOTHINGS advance stream Here and Nowhere Else.

SAINTSENECA advance streams Dark Arc.

WOLFMOTHER streams their surprise new LP, New Crown.

MAC DeMARCO advance streams Salad Days.

A.C. NEWMAN covers Bill Fay's "Be Not So Fearful" for The Walking Dead Original Soundtrack, Vol. 2.

SWANS drop “A Little God In My Hands,” ahead of To Be Kind.

THE FOUR TOPS: Levi Stubbs works up a sweat on live French TV, belting out "I'll Be There."

ALEX CHILTON: SPIN excerpts a new biography of the indie icon, A Man Called Destruction.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Divergent tops the chart with a 56 million debut. That doesn't seem bad against an 80 million budget, but it's less than most estimates and well short of the 69 million Twilight opened with in 2008. The competition heats up in April, which means Divergent will have to earn about as much overseas as it does domestically to profit. That's doable, but disappointing.  Even so, it's not as disappointing as Muppets Most Wanted, which placed with a mere 16.5 million. Again, not bad against a 50 million budget, but certainly not the 29.3 million opening of The Muppets reboot. Mr Peabody and Sherman shows with an underwhelming 11.7 million and an 81 million domestic total against a 150 million budget. 300: Rise of an Empire skids 55 percent into the fourth slot with 8.7 million; nevertheless, the sequel approaches 94 million domestic against a 110 million budget, suggesting robust overseas receipts will put this one in the black. God's Not Dead rounds out the Top 5 with a surpsrisingly strong 8.6 million; one wonders what -if anything- that potends for next weekend's Noah.  Below the fold the platform release of The Grand Budapest Hotel continues, bringing in another 6.8 million on about 300 screens. Meanwhile, the crowdfunded Veronica Mars crashed 75 percent to make only 490K in its second weekend.

MILA KUNIS & ASHTON KUTCHER are reportedly expecting a child together.

L'WREN SCOTT: Her suicide reveals the tragic side of NYC's glitzy scene.

KEVIN BACON, icymi, made a big, footloose entrance on The Tonight Show.

LADY GAGA has defended her recent SXSW festival performance, which involved vomiting performance artist Millie Brown.

JOHNNY WEIR allegedly bit a chunk out of his husband's arm during a domestic dispute.

OLIVER STONE says Jewish control of the media is preventing an open discussion of the Holocaust.

JAMES REBHORN, one of those classic "That Guy" character actors, has passed away at 65, reportedly from melanoma.

MALAYSIA: Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said authorities had a number of credible leads on the missing Flight 370.

UKRAINE: One of the founders of independent Ukraine’s military expects a Russian invasion. A top air force commander was being held after his base in Crimea was stormed by pro-Russian forces, Ukraine's acting president said as he called for his release.

VENEZUELA: Three Venezuelans have died from gunshot wounds during protests against socialist President Nicolás Maduro, pushing the death toll to 34 from almost two months of demonstrations that have been answered with deadly force from both security forces and armed pro-government gangs.

SYRIA: The Al Nusrah Front and the Islamic Front's Ahrar al Sham battled regime forces for control of the Kasab crossing along the Turkish border. The leaders of the western and central rebel fronts announced a battle to liberate the coast in Latakia.

EGYPT: Security forces thwarted an attempt to detonate an explosive device on the road leading to the el Arish airport. Some security sources said the intended target of the bomb was Sedki Sobhi, a top Egyptian general.

JOHNNY CASH now has a posthumous video for "She Used to Love Me a Lot."

LIARS are advance streaming Mess.

FUTURE ISLANDS are advance steaming Singles.

JEREMY MESSERSMITH plays a set for WFUV at SXSW 2014.

LUCIUS plays a set from the Public Radio Rocks stage for WFUV at SXSW 2014.

PRINCE & ZOOEY DESCHANEL drop "FALLINLOVE2NIGHT,"a portion of which played on The New Girl.

TYLER THE CREATOR was busted at SXSW on charges of inciting a riot.

NEIL YOUNG is writing a science fiction novel.

GARY BURGER, frontman of garage pioneers the Monks, has died from pancreatic cancer, Minnesota Public Radio reports. He was 72.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Mr Peabody and Sherman climbs to the top of the chart with 21.2 million, but with a 145 million production budget, this one would need legs like The Croods to end up in the black before home video. 300: Rise of an Empire places with 19.1 million on a steep 58 percent drop; this one may make a little money if itslarger overseas grosses stay up.  Need For Speed shows with a 17.8 million debut against a 66 million budget; that's far less than the projected 25 million, though one wonders why anyone still finances movies based on videogames, given their track record.  Non-Stop slides to fourth with 10.6 million on a leggier 33 percent drop and is shaping up as Neeson's best outing without "Taken" in the title. Tyler Perry's The Single Moms Club rounds out the Top 5 with 8.3 million, the worst Perry debut evah.  Below the fold, Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel climbed into the eighth spot on a mere 66 screens; its 4.8 million total augurs well for a budget that has not been reported but likely was somewhere around 20 million before subsidies from the German government. Also, Veronica Mars rounded out the Top 10 with a 2 million debut against a 6 million budget, which might be enough to fuel the crowdfunding of feature films.

THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL:  It's a Wes Anderson film, so if you've seen Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Moonrise Kingdom, etc.,you should already know if this is your bag.  This one is inspired by the writings of Stefan Zweig, if not informed by them, and remains unmistakably Wes in its fairytale tone, vintage camera work, and attention to twee detail, albeit of interwar Europe in this case.  What's different?  This is perhaps the most broadly comic, action-oriented, and bloody of Anderson's films, although this is relative to Anderson's canon, not Hollywood in general. The film boasts a large ensemble, heavy with cameos from Anderson vets like Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Jason Schwartzman, Ed Norton and Bob Balaban, with a spriking of newcomers, notably F. Murray Abraham, Harvey Keitel and Ralph Fiennes as the protagonist, concierge Gustave H.  The downside of the large cast and action sequences is that Gustave and his lobby boy Zero get much in the way of character development.  It's a confection as delicious as Mendl's chocolates, but before too long you'll be hungry for Rushmore.
