The new Timothée Chalamet movie trailer is about a sport no one respects
After appearing as music icon Bob Dylan last year, the next project from Academy Award nominee Timothée Chalamet is technically about sports. The 29-year-old actor impressed fans last year by proving his knowledge as a sports fan while appearing on ESPN's College GameDay. He correctly predicted upsets and genuinely seemed like a lot of fun joking around on set. During the exciting postseason run for the New York Knicks, he was also a fixture at Madison Square Garden, even sharing a fun moment with Karl-Anthony Towns. Hopefully, he got a second to pick Towns' brain about what it's like to be a wildly disrespected athlete, because that is exactly what Chalamet will portray in his next film. More: Timothée Chalamet was offered Stephen A. Smith mentorship for an ESPN career The first trailer for the upcoming A24 project Marty Supreme released on Wednesday and it looks wild. Here is what you need to know: "Marty Mauser, a young man with a dream no one respects, goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness." That dream, it seems, is to become a ping pong star so big that he will appear on the cover of Wheaties boxes. This is the first project from Josh Safdie (Good Time and Uncut Gems) in his solo directorial debut. Chalamet will lead in the first billing but Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary (from Shark Tank), and Tyler, The Creator (as Tyler Okonma) will co-star.

Billy Joel Sounds Like 'Bob Dylan if He Had a Cartoon Show' in Hilarious Resurfaced Interview
Billy Joel Sounds Like 'Bob Dylan if He Had a Cartoon Show' in Hilarious Resurfaced Interview originally appeared on Parade. While Billy Joel is unquestionably one of the most successful and beloved musicians of all time, that doesn't mean he hasn't looked to other iconic rock stars for advice from time to time throughout the course of his when he revealed the helpful advice Bob Dylan once gave him, it ended up being one of the funniest moments in late night history. During a recently resurfaced 1997 appearance on Late Night With David Letterman, Joel opened up about what happened when he met Dylan backstage at a performance in Milan, Italy. As Joel explained, he took the opportunity to ask Dylan a very important question. "I said, 'How do you do it, Bob? How do you remember all these words?'' Joel recalled, before going into a Dylan impression to share his response, adding, ''Oh, that's easy. Just go over in the dressing room and take a look on the coffee table.'' "You sound like Bob Dylan if he had a cartoon show," Letterman quipped, laughing at Joel's attempt at a Dylan voice. 'So, I look over on the coffee table, and there is a store-bought book, Bob Dylan's The Songs of Bob Dylan," Joel continued. "He's got them all right there," he added. "He's got this big book on the coffee table. And I say, 'Well, okay, but how do you read the lyrics on-stage?' He goes, 'Well, I really can't read them. I just feel good knowing they're there.' It's like a security blanket. And I've actually started doing it. I put a little book of lyrics on the piano. Of course, you can't dive into them in the middle of a song. But it just makes you feel a little bit better. There they are.' That's not the only time Joel gave fans a laugh with behind-the-scenes story about Dylan, either. During an interview with Howard Stern, Joel remembered what it was like recording "We Are the World" with Dylan in 1985, per I Love Classic Rock, explaining that Dylan was hesitant about singing his part until Stevie Wonder stepped in to help with his vocals. 'Stevie Wonder teaching Bob Dylan to sing like Bob Dylan was a moment," Joel said at the Joel Sounds Like 'Bob Dylan if He Had a Cartoon Show' in Hilarious Resurfaced Interview first appeared on Parade on Aug 12, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 12, 2025, where it first appeared.

Review: Machine Gun Kelly looks to find himself on "Lost Americana"
Machine Gun Kelly's new album "Lost Americana," arrived on Friday after a significant buildup, including a trailer narrated by Bob Dylan and a viral TikTok dance. The tracks range from pop-rock ("Cliché,""Sweet Coraline") and southern-rock ("Miss Sunshine") to hip-hop ("Indigo,""Tell Me What's Up"). Zoom in: Lyrically, "Lost Americana" is one big confessional that culminates with the heart-rending "Treading Water." The song touches on MGK's newborn daughter with actress Megan Fox and the highly publicized breakup between the two. Our take: Not everything works. The hard rocker "Don't Wait Run Fast" feels a bit generic.
