The Grammy Awards are getting ahead of the curve when it comes to dealing with artificial intelligence in the music industry. A change to the ceremony’s guidelines last month opened the door for music created with AI to be eligible for awards, however, “a work that contains no human authorship is not eligible in any category,” according to the rules. Recording Academy CEO and President Harvey Mason Jr. recently explained the bar of eligibility set for the new rule, including a firm definition of what they consider to be meaningful human contributions. “Here’s the super easy, headline statement: AI, or…

In true fashion, the inspiration for the Japanese horror film Bldg. N is an urban legend. In the early 2000s, there was a media storm about the “poltergeist apartments” in Tomika, Gifu. This new complex lured many tenants with its cheap rent, but they gradually cleared out once the paranormal activity began and the news coverage became unreasonable. The reports on the supposed haunting don’t come across as especially unique, so director and writer Yōsuke Gotō understandably had to fill in the gaps when writing his adaptation of the incident. What he came up with is indeed unusual, given that Japanese ghost films don’t…

“What I do and who I am are two different things and, to me, it was always really important to keep those things separate,” Kunis explained her nonexistent social media footprint to Australia’s Daily Telegraph. ”I don’t want people thinking they know me to the point where they feel comfortable coming in my house without being invited. For security reasons, it just wasn’t worth it. I’d rather have my privacy over anything.”She also highlighted another reason why she and Kutcher are one of those couples that look like they’d be fun to have a beer with—an early beer, so everyone can be back home…

The Weeknd’s controversial, 5-episode show The Idol is over. And with it, viewers of the HBO series got to hear Troye Sivan reimagine “My Sweet Lord,” the beloved, guitar-backed 1970 song by Beatle George Harrison, during the final episode. Sivan’s sweet vocals hum and echo over a haunting, synthy organ as he sings the Harrison lyrics: “Really want to go with you/Really want to show you Lord/But it won’t take long, my Lord.” The track is very XO-esque, thanks to its production by Mike Dean and the Weeknd himself. Following the release of the fifth and final episode, The Weeknd…

Lovell was Neil Armstrong’s backup for Apollo 11, and then he was put on the schedule for Apollo 14, but he and his crew were bumped up in line. ”I went home and I told my wife, ‘We’re gonna go on 13, not 14,’ and she said, ’13?'” Lovell recalled in an interview with Astronomy magazine. ”I said, ‘Well, it comes after 12.’ Then they put that in the movie.” 14. Kathleen Quinlan (who made her movie debut in 1973’s American Graffiti co-starring Howard) was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her turn as Marilyn Lovell, Jim’s high school sweetheart and wife since 1952. And just as the…
