BLUE SWEDE: "Hooked on a Feeling," introduced by the late Don Kirshner. Ooga-Chucka. NEW RELEASES: Paste will point you to Bleachers, Kim Gordon, and more. BILL'S INDIE BASEMENT has Astrel K, Meatbodies, and more. THE BLACK KEYS shares "This Is Nowhere." BILLY IDOL shares a cover of Rose Royce's "Love Don't Live Here Anymore." KIM GORDON, on Barbie, Kurt Cobain, the presidential election, and much more. LIAM GALLAGHER would rather spend time with his Thai rescue dog than go on tour. SXSW: Bands are dropping out over festival sponsorships by the US Army and defense contractors. THE OSCARS went to these folks. Congrats. Here's the high point. Or maybe this was it. WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Kung Fu Panda 4 tops the chart with 55MM, a strong opening and one likely to be leggy given the relative lack of family fare on big screens right now. Dune: Part Two places with 44MM on a 47 percent drop, which is strong for a tentpole and roughly similar to what happened with Oppenheimer last year. Imaginary shows with 9.3MM, which is a little below predictions, but against a 10MM budget, it's probably fine. THE HOLDOVERS faces charges of plagiarism from screenwriter Simon Stephenson, whose credits include Pixar’s “Luca” and StudioCanal’s “Paddington 2.” DAKOTA JOHNSON's candid comments about Madame Web aren't appreciated by Sony. CHRISTOPHER WALKEN could have been Han Solo. NATALIE PORTMAN is officially divorced from Benjamin Millepied. THE BLUES BROTHERS: 44 things you may not know about the classic musical comedy. STREAMING is the new basic cable. THE RAZZIES went to these folks. Congrats? A RUBBER COBRA is being used to teach orangutan orphans to fear snakes in the wild. A POLAR BEAR with a new toy. A HERON saves a fish instead of eating it.

THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE... ...with ROCKPILE, a band that featured old pals Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds cranking out the rootsy pub rock. Let's start with "Teacher, Teacher" and "I Knew the Bride," along with this clip of "Heart," featuring Billy Bremner, which is odd at the start. And here's the band rolling through Lowe's "So It Goes," and "Heart of the City," plus a cover of Elvis Costello's and "Girls Talk," which many associate more with Edmunds. J MASCIS pals KEXP. DJ SHADOW visits World Cafe. WILD PINK shares "Air Drumming Fix You." DON HENLEY “manipulated” prosecutors by withholding evidence in the "Hotel Califonia" lyrics case, the judge ruled. BRYAN FERRY sold half his music catalog. BLUR drummer Dave Rowntree will stand as a Labour candidate at the next general election. STEVE LAWRENCE, the charismatic Grammy- and Emmy-winning crooner who delighted audiences for decades in nightclubs, on concert stages and in film and television appearances, died Thursday. He was 88. Here's Steve & Edie's take on Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun." FALLOUT has a trailer online. ZACK SNYDER told Joe Rogan that Batman is irrelevant if he can't kill people. CHRIS MARTIN & DAKOTA JOHNSON are reportedly engaged, with Gwyneth's blessing. LEA SEYDOUX said that being a female actor in Hollywood is “harsh”, while she finds that it is “easier” in Europe. KURT RUSSELL still has one regret about filming The Hateful Eight. MARGARET QUALLEY is set to play Amanda Knox in a Hulu limited series. JAKE GYLLENHAAL: A Unified Theory. RUPERT MURDOCH, engaged yet again at 93. A DOG & BIRD play cat and mouse. HIPPO vs LIONS: Who You Got? WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER gets a visit.
