John Boyega would not lie down. It was 2021, and he was filming an early scene for this summer's blistering sci-fi conspiracy thriller They Cloned Tyrone on set in Atlanta. In the script, Boyega's street-hustler character, Fontaine, reconvenes with an irritable pimp named Slick Charles, played by Jamie Foxx, and sex worker Yo-Yo (Teyonah Parris) at her grandmother's house, still reeling from what they just saw (an apparent conspiracy). The scene called for Boyega to lie flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling as they talk. Boyega lay there and sucked his teeth. "Not feelin' it, bruv," the thirty-one-year-old actor told the film's director and cowriter, Juel Taylor, in his charmingly peppery South London accent. "I'm alert, bruv. I'm alert. I'm on edge." Boyega figured Fontaine wouldn't be in a passive position. It didn't feel natural. They filmed him sitting up. It's taken Boyega a while to be able to comfortably flex. After a youth spent anchoring a stupendously profitable blockbuster franchise, he's proved himself as a performer who can seemingly do anything, onscreen or off. |

Mark Ronson lost a lot of sleep while crafting the Barbie soundtrack. How could he not? Everyone and their mother has plans to see the movie, which is out this Friday. In fact, the Greta Gerwig-directed feature is predicted to earn $110 million at the box office this weekend. (That's a lot of ears to impress.) In 2022, when Gerwig offered the gig to the legendary producer, he knew the music could easily make or break Barbie. But the thing is, when Greta Gerwig asks for your help? You deliver. |

It's been 27 years since Tupac Shakur was tragically killed. Since then, the case has remained unsolved, but investigators are determined to find his assailant. This week, the Las Vegas police department issued a search warrant in connection to the murder. ABC News confirmed the warrant was issued to a home in nearby Henderson, Nevada. A representative from the police department said the warrant was "part of the ongoing Tupac Shakur homicide investigation." According to a briefing, the police department worked with SWAT to conduct the search, where they collected "computers, laptops, and articles about Tupac's life and death." No charges have been filed, but the evidence will be presented to a Las Vegas grand jury. |
