Swift releases ‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’
Taylor Swift fans are seeing (and hearing) her version of “Red” now that she’s released the longawaited, rerecorded hit album.
Following the arrival of “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” last spring, “Red (Taylor’s Version)” makes good on the Grammy winner’s 2019 pledge to take back ownership of the six-album catalog she lost when Scooter Braun purchased — and subsequently sold — her previous record label, Big Machine.
Swift released “Red (Taylor’s Version)” Friday and accompanied it with a short film for “All Too Well,” which she wrote and directed. The film, which was set to debut later Friday, stars Swift, Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien.
“It never would have been possible to go back & remake my previous work, uncovering lost art & forgotten gems along the way if you hadn’t emboldened me,” Swift tweeted to her fans upon the release. “Red is about to be mine again, but it has always been ours. Now we begin again.”
Snoopy going to space:
A new rocket designed to launch humans to the moon, Mars and beyond will launch next year from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. On board, will be a familiar fuzzy figure — Snoopy.
The plush toy version — wearing a space suit designed according to NASA’s strict specifications — has an important job for the Artemis I unmanned mission.
NASA uses stuffed animals on flights because when the little guys start to float, it indicates that the spacecraft has entered space’s zero gravity. Since the toys are soft and light,
they won’t break anything or accidentally strike a button.
The Artemis I mission is scheduled to circle the moon and then return to Earth in February.
Douglas, ‘Young and the Restless’ star, dies: Jerry Douglas, who played handsome family patriarch John Abbott on “The Young and the Restless” for over 30 years, has died.
Douglas died Tuesday after a brief illness, just three days before his 89th birthday, according to a family spokesman.
His hundreds of credits include the films “JFK” and “Mommie Dearest” and the TV series “Melrose Place” and “Barnaby Jones.”
Stallone opens up about near-death experience: Sylvester Stallone didn’t only meet his match in “Rocky IV,” he almost lost his life.
Dolph Lundgren, who played nemesis Ivan Drago in the hit 1985 film, went off script and nearly beat the franchise star to death.
“I got really injured during the fight,” the 75-year-old action star revealed. “I had to be flown into intensive care to California from Canada.”
Stallone didn’t know how badly his body was damaged until after the cameras stopped rolling. Stallone relishes the fact that the near-fatal punch didn’t end up on the cutting room floor. “How could you take that out?” he quipped.
