LaBELLE: "Lady Marmalade." I coulda used a little more cowbell. M WARD surprise releases What a Wonderful Industry. PLLUSH streams Stranger To The Pain. THE WONDER YEARS plays a Key Studio Session. ROBERT FINLEY plays the World Cafe. MICRODISNEY reunites in Dublin after 30 years. NEKO CASE brings her "Bad Luck" to Conan. LED ZEPPELIN REUNITES... for a book on their 50th anniversary. ANTHONY BOURDAIN was a music lover, especially Punk. FLEET FOXES frontman Robin Pecknold has opened up about struggles with suicidal thoughts and his mental health. FLEETWOOD MAC's Danny Kirwan, who played on five albums, has died at 68.
WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Ocean's 8 tops the chart with 41.5MM, which is the highest debut of the franchise (before adjusting for inflation,anyway). Solo places with 15.2MM on a 48 percent drop; there's a good chance this will top out with about as much as people recently thought it would make in its opening weekend. Deadpool 2 shows with 13.7MM on a 41 percent drop; that's lagging the original enough that a third installment can take a little time getting to the cineplex. Hereditary debuts in the fourth slot with 13M... but despite near universal acclaim on Rotten Tomatoes, it has a D+ CinemaScore, which suggests this craters next weekend. Avengers: Infinity War rounds out the Top Five with another 6.8MM and will probably leave the big screen as the fourth-biggest grosser of all time. ANTHONY BOURDAIN, whose darkly funny memoir about life in New York City restaurant kitchens made him a celebrity chef and touched off his second career as a journalist, food expert and social activist, was found dead on Friday in his hotel room in France. He was 61. Asia Argento released a statement regarding Bourdain on Twitter. VINCE VAUGHN was busted for DWI and resisting arrest. JOHN LASSETER, Pixar co-founder, will exit as Disney Animation chief following (ahem) 'missteps.' GEORGE TAKEI's accuser has changed his story. FIRST MAN, starring Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong, has a trailer online. SERENITY (not the Firefly related movie),reuniting McConnaughey and Hathaway, has a trailer online. AL PACINO & JAMES MARSDEN join Quentin Tarantino's film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. A BABY DEER is rescued from a groundhog hole. SASHA SAVES THE DAY: A Stockton woman credits her pit bull with saving her and her baby’s lives after the dog woke them up when the house caught fire. AVOCADO SQUIRREL is the new Pizza Rat. AN ORANGUTAN tries to fight off an excavator.
