https://instagram.com/p/DUzHWqXD6_a

The Independent Spirit Awards were held today at the Palladium in Hollywood, CA, moving inland from their usual home on the beach in Santa Monica. Ego Nwodim took over hosting duties after a few years of hosting from another SNL vet, Aidy Bryant, and Train Dreams was one of the big winners of the day, taking home Best Feature, Best Director for Clint Bentley, and Best Cinematography for Adolpho Veloso. Read on for a complete list of winners, and check out the looks from the blue carpet. Please don't ask me how a TV series can be indie - no one knows!

Jimmy Fallon ends pasta sauce collaboration with Tommy Mottola due to Epstein file documents

https://instagram.com/p/DUwDEY6jgDo


Longtime friends Jimmy Fallon and record executive Tommy Mottola (perhaps better known as Mariah Carey's ex-husband) were often seen dining together at Italian restaurant Rao’s. The two were planning a pasta sauce collaboration that was tentatively planned to launch in 2027. On Thursday, an anonymous source reported that the project was "on pause" due to Mottola's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, but now it is being reported that the pasta sauce collaboration has been shelved. Both Fallon and Mottola declined to comment.

Mottola is mentioned over 600 times in the Epstein file documents that have been released to the public. The documents show that from 2010 until Epstein's death in 2019, Mottola and Epstein were in close contact about things like travel arrangements (Mottola requested helicopter rentals in 2014), emails in 2017 (circa the huge #MeToo push) where Mottola allegedly discussed needing to "shut up and lay low," and helping Epstein find a private detective after a Miami Herald exposé on his private island.

The files also show Mottola making dozens of calls and visits to Epstein’s properties in Manhattan and Paris, most of which occurred between 2006 and 2008 (during this time, Epstein was already serving time for soliciting minors following his first arrest). Email correspondence shows that Mottola appeared to have visited Epstein’s Upper East Side mansion several times, years after Epstein had been convicted of sex crimes in Florida. The files also show that Mottola and Epstein were close enough to exchange gifts. Mottola gave Epstein "a huge box of Bridgewater Chocolates" in December 2011 and a gift basket in September 2017.

In addition to managing Hall & Oates, running Sony Music, and working with Universal Music, Mottola also branched out into movies, music, and television. His media group produced several Broadway musicals including Jersey Boys, A Bronx Tale, Summer: The Donna Summer Musical, and Groundhog Day.

Taylor Swift re-releases Opalite 7" vinyl single



A week and a half ago, Taylor Swift released Opalite as a 7" single for 48 hours. This morning she announced that the same vinyl single is back in her store for 10 hours only.

During the February 4 pre-order for the 7" vinyl, the website stated that it would ship on February 9. But on February 9, Swifties in the United States who had ordered received a notification that shipment of their Opalite vinyl singles had been delayed until February 23. Of course shipping delays do happen so this seems totally normal, right? Except for the part where international customers have not only had their Opalite vinyls shipped but they have already received their orders and posted pics/videos of these records. So what's the hold up with the American orders not being shipped yet?

Per Billboard rules, pre-orders for physical media do not count toward the charts until the items are actually shipped. So far, Taylor has done several pre-orders for Opalite but none of them have actually shipped to customers in the United States yet, which means she is most likely stockpiling pre-orders so that she can ship them all at once and get Opalite to #1 on the Hot 100 chart. As of today, she has released Opalite on physical media eight times (and none of these versions have been released as digital singles yet):

1. album version & instrumental version - CD (1/21 - 48 hours), 2/16 ship date
2. Life Is a Song acoustic version & acoustic instrumental version - CD (1/21 - 48 hours), 2/16 ship date
3. album version & Life Is a Song acoustic version - blue pearlescent 7 (2/4 - 48 hours), 2/9 ship date (rescheduled for 2/23)
4. Chris Lake remix - CD (2/13 - 48 hours), 2/23 ship date
5. BUNT. remix - CD (2/13 - 48 hours), 2/23 ship date
6. Skream remix - CD (2/13 - 48 hours), 2/23 ship date
7. Ely Oaks remix - CD (2/13 - 48 hours), 2/23 ship date
8. album version & Life Is a Song acoustic version - blue pearlescent 7" vinyl* (2/15 - 10 hours), 2/23 ship date
