'This is probably the only chance people will have to see us perform the entire album, so don't miss out!' commented singer/guitarist JD Cronise in a press release.
Cronise previously teased the Warp Riders tour back in February when The Sword announced a pair of reunion shows in Texas. At the time, Cronise said more gigs were on the way — now that the band was back for good — including this run surrounding the anniversary of Warp Riders, a modern stoner-rock classic that was recently reissued on vinyl for Record Store Day.

Justin Timberlake urged to ‘retire' after ‘cringe' dance moves go viral
Justin Timberlake has been urged to 'retire' by fans after a video of him dancing on tour went viral for all the wrong reasons. Timberlake is currently embarking on the European leg of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour. A video shared by a fan who attended one of the singer's latest shows has gone viral after fans ridiculed Timberlake's 'cringe' and 'awkward' dance moves. The clip shows Timberlake dancing around a microphone stand attached to the floor, at one point almost appearing to slip as he awkwardly throws his hands into the air. 'I mean I love JT just as much as the next boy band obsessed girlypop but LOL this is comical,' wrote the fan that shared the viral video on TikTok. 3 Timberlake is currently embarking on the European leg of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour. Other fans rushed to poke fun at the clip, with some even urging the star to lay down his dancing shoes and retire.

Blue Ivy Carter Just Won Another Major Award
Blue Ivy Carter won big at last night's BET Awards. The 13-year-old took home the YoungStars Award for the second year in a row. She was nominated alongside actress Akira Akbar, YouTube star Graceyn 'Gracie' Hollingsworth, actress Heiress Harris, actress Melody Hurd, actor Thaddeus J. Mixson, actor Tyrik Johnson, and musician VanVan. Beyoncé and Jay-Z's eldest daughter was absent from yesterday's ceremony because she's currently in London for the European leg of the Cowboy Carter Tour. Along with her little sister Rumi, Blue has been performing at the show since the tour first began in April. In a recent interview with ELLE, Blue's grandmother, Tina Knowles, spoke about Beyoncé's choice to let Blue perform onstage, which she was initially apprehensive about. 'It was her mom's decision,' she said. 'But I encouraged it because my girls were allowed to express themselves creatively in any way they chose to. If they wanted to perform, then they got to perform. I tried to encourage everything that they wanted to do—every dream that they had.' She continued, 'So my personal two cents was, 'I hope you let her do it.' Her mother, being protective of her, thought she was too young. She was like, 'This is a heavy thing. It's 70,000 people out there sometimes, so that's a big deal for you to get in front of those people.' And so her response came from a place of protection, and mine came from a place of, 'Well, I would have let you do it.' And I remember saying that. But it wasn't my business, it was her mom's business. I just kind of helped the conversation along a bit.' There's still time to see the Carter girls at the Cowboy Carter Tour.

Paramount lays off several hundred employees amid linear TV declines and 'dynamic macro-environment'
Paramount Global will lay off 3.5% of its domestic workforce, which amounts to several hundred jobs, as the media and entertainment company continues to navigate a difficult industrywide decline in linear television. The majority of the affected employees were notified Tuesday, according to a letter sent Tuesday morning to employees that was obtained by The Times. In addition to the decline in linear TV, the company also cited a "dynamic macro-economic environment" and the continued priority of streaming business investments as the backdrop to these layoffs. The affected departments were not disclosed. "We recognize how difficult this is and are very thankful for everyone's hard work and contributions," Paramount co-chief executives George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins wrote in the letter. "These changes are necessary to address the environment we are operating in and best position Paramount for success." The layoffs come just one day after Paramount said its chief financial officer, Naveen Chopra, would be resigning at the end of the month. The company said in a regulatory filing that Chopra's resignation was not the result of disagreement with the company or its board of directors. Paramount is just one of several studios across Hollywood that are downsizing. Last week, Walt Disney Co. announced layoffs for several hundred employees in the U.S. and abroad, citing the decline in linear TV. The layoffs largely affected the film and television marketing teams, television publicity, casting and development as well as corporate financial operations. The move came just three months after the company cut 200 workers, including at ABC News and Disney-owned entertainment networks. Warner Bros. Discovery also laid off employees from its cable TV channels last week, cutting several dozen positions. On Monday, the media and entertainment company said it would split into two separate firms — one entity that includes the film studio, television production, HBO and HBO Max and DC Studios and the other with cable channels such as CNN and TNT as well as its European over-the-air networks.
