Corrections: May 9, 2025
An article on Wednesday about Lencia Kebede, who made history by becoming the first Black actor to play the role of Elphaba full time in the Broadway company of 'Wicked,' misspelled a character's name in 'Sister Act.' She is Deloris, not Dolores.
A picture caption with an obituary on Thursday about the golfer Jim Dent misstated Dent's accomplishments on the PGA Tour. As one of the few Black golfers on the Tour in his day or now, Dent won $564,809; he did not win his first tournament in 1979 followed by 11 more between 1982 and 1986. Those tournaments were won by Calvin Peete.

Acura Is Showing Off Tony Stark's NSX Drop-Top at Monterey Car Week
Acura Is Showing Off Tony Stark's NSX Drop-Top at Monterey Car Week originally appeared on Autoblog. Back in 2012, Honda and Acura fans got a little treat at the movies The first film in Marvel's highly successful Avengers crossover series was released in the summer of 2012. While the series would prove to be huge blockbusters individually, the first film set numerous box office records. It grossed over $1.5 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing movie of 2012 and among the highest-grossing films of all time. Though the film itself was a key marker in the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, gearheads, particularly Honda and Acura fans, got a special treat towards the end of the film. In the final scene, Tony Stark, the man behind the Iron Man suit, played by Robert Downey Jr., drove away in a different sports car than the Audi R8 in previous Iron Man films: a Burgundy-colored roadster version of the Acura NSX concept car. You can see Tony Stark's Acura in the flesh at Monterey In an announcement released on August 12, Acura announced that the very Acura NSX Roadster from The Avengers will make its first public appearance in more than a decade during Monterey Car Week. Specifically, the roadster will appear at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering on August 15, as part of Acura's celebration of the 35th anniversary of the first-generation NSX. In addition, Acura said it plans to auction the Stark NSX roadster for charity and will start accepting interested bidders at Monterey for a chance to participate in the auction next year. Alongside the NSX roadster, which is complete with the custom 'Stark 33' New York license plate, Acura's booth at the Quail will also showcase notable production NSX examples. These include a 1995 NSX-R, which was never sold in the United States, and a 1999 Zanardi Edition, a limited edition model built to celebrate the race car driver's back-to-back CART Champ Car championships. The older vehicles will be showcased alongside the RSX Prototype, Honda's newest electric vehicle, and the Acura brand's future electric SUV offering. View the 4 images of this gallery on the original article Tony Stark's "new" NSX was a truly bespoke machine Tony Stark's NSX Roadster appeared on the silver screen during a notable year for Honda's luxury brand. Prior to the film's release in May 2012, the NSX concept (in coupe form) made its debut at the Detroit Auto Show and subsequently appeared in a star-studded Acura Super Bowl ad featuring Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno. The actual production version of the second-generation NSX wouldn't hit the streets until 2016, but before then, the roadster would also make an appearance at the red carpet during the premiere of the Avengers film with Robert Downey Jr. behind the wheel. View the 2 images of this gallery on the original article However, according to Acura, the very vehicle that the Iron Man and True Believer actor drove was not some sort of pre-production prototype with beta-version technology. The roadster was created specifically for the film by Hollywood fabricators Trans FX and penned by a team at the Acura Design Studio in Los Angeles, led by then-Acura Creative Director Dave Marek. Interestingly, the movie roadster's hand-crafted resin and fiberglass body was fitted onto a "well-used" first-generation 1991 NSX with over 252,000 miles on the clock. In addition to the bespoke body, it's had its ride height dropped by 2 inches, fitted with 18-inch wheels, and aftermarket bucket seats. "We knew it would have to be a reliable vehicle for filming, not just a static display, and we couldn't come up with anything that would be more reliable than an original Acura NSX," Marek said in a statement. Final thoughts I am not that big of a Marvel fan, but I remember watching that movie with my cousins in a movie theater shortly after it was released while on vacation in Virginia Beach. I fell asleep during the entirety of the film, only to wake up to see Downey Jr.'s character drive away in the NSX. Given this vehicle's provenance, I hope that it falls into the hands of a museum or some sort of collection that can be publicly viewed when the hammer drops next year. This vehicle is not only a piece of movie memorabilia but a footnote in Honda and Acura's history.

Joe Jonas Seemingly Reveals Secret ‘Camp Rock 3' Plans to Avoid Eating a Spicy Wing: ‘Sorry, Disney!'
Joe Jonas might catch some heat from the bosses at Disney for seemingly letting a Camp Rock-related secret slip on Hot Ones Versus — but at least he avoided eating a super spicy chicken wing. While facing off against his brothers/bandmates Kevin and Nick on the episode posted Tuesday (Aug. 12), the DNCE frontman appeared to reveal that a Camp Rock 3 is in the works. When challenged to either read his most recent Notes app entry or take a bite of a 'death wing,' Joe prioritized his taste buds over any NDA he may or may not have in place with a certain entertainment giant. More from Billboard Exes Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas Team Up For 'Camp Rock' Classics at Kick Off of Jonas Brothers 20th Anniversary Tour The Jonas Brothers Wave Hello to New Album 'Greetings From Your Hometown': Stream It Now Jonas Brothers Bro Down With Jimmy Fallon Over Being Unabashed Girl Dads: 'I'm Just Buying So Many Clothes' 'Read Camp Rock 3,' he said as silence fell over the set. 'It's the truth. It's literally right here.' The trio and Hot Ones crew then burst out laughing at the unplanned revelation — that a script for a third Camp Rock movie appears to exist — as Kevin shrugged, admitting, 'That's a pretty good one.' 'Sorry, Disney!' Joe added. So there you have it. Though Disney has not publicly indicated that another Camp Rock is in the works, the Jo Bros seem to at least be considering reprising their roles in a follow-up to 2010's Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, which premiered on Disney Channel two years after the original Camp Rock first aired. In the franchise, the Jonases played three brothers who formed a boy band called Connect 3 — sound familiar? — starring opposite Demi Lovato's leading lady, Mitchie Torres. Billboard has reached out to Disney for comment. Regardless of whether Camp Rock 3 comes to fruition, the timing of Joe's spontaneous reveal does seem like kismet. Just two days prior to the Hot Ones Versus premiere, the brothers reunited with Lovato and performed Camp Rock hits 'This Is Me' and 'Wouldn't Change a Thing' at the Jonas Brothers' kickoff anniversary tour show in New Jersey. But for now, the Jonas Brothers are focusing on band activities. In addition to touring, the band is also in the midst of promoting new album Greetings From Your Hometown, which dropped Aug. 8.

Jumping off The Shark: Winners and losers in WQAM takeover of indie-rock station 104.3-FM
South Florida traffic just got even more frustrating for fans of indie rock as 104.3 The Shark has transitioned into the new FM home of 560 WQAM sports-talk radio. Station owner Audacy said the abrupt change — which came Thursday afternoon as The Shark was playing Alice In Chains' 'Man in the Box' — was in response to listener demands. The Shark, based in Miramar, was the least popular of Audacy's five music stations, ranking No. 20 among all metro-Miami radio stations in Nielsen rankings released in July. WQAM was No. 27. The new WQAM outlet, with call letters WQAM-FM subject to FCC approval, offers a simulcast of programming heard on the original 560 AM station via a stronger, 100,000-watt FM signal, a boon to local sports fans long irritated by balky AM reception. WQAM is home to Miami Heat, Florida Panthers and Miami Hurricanes games, along with sports talk (Miami Dolphins-heavy) on 'The Joe Rose Show,' 'Tobin & Leroy' and 'Hochman, Crowder & Solana.' Dolphins' radio broadcasts can be heard on iHeartRadio's BIG 105.9-FM and Fox Sports WINZ 940-AM (and WIOD 610-AM when there is a conflict with the Miami Marlins). A statement from Audacy regional president Claudia Menegus said South Florida sports fans' 'unrivaled passion' was deserving of 'a destination that matches their energy.' Michael McCullough, chief marketing officer of the Miami Heat, said the expanded FM signal 'will bring even more fans, listeners, and a younger, more diverse audience' to Heat broadcasts. The move came about three weeks before the Miami Hurricanes open their season with a nationally televised game against Notre Dame at Hard Rock Stadium on Aug. 31. The Dolphins begin their season on Sept. 7 at the Indianapolis Colts. Related Articles Where's the remote?! Channel 18 is new ABC home for 'GMA,' 'General Hospital,' Canes-Notre Dame football Five players to watch during Hurricanes' preseason camp While sports fans rejoice over a stronger radio signal for games and related banter, alternative-music lovers have lost another provider of songs by the likes of Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana and Green Day. Some may turn to BIG 105.9-FM, where music from these bands can be found in a playlist dominated by classic rock hits. Another over-the-air alternative is WKPX 88.5-FM, a noncommercial, educational radio station operated by Broward County Public Schools. It features a diverse mix of music — Pixies, Pearl Jam, Pet Shop Boys — but at 3,000 watts is difficult to get once you cross the Broward County line. An Instagram post from one fan of The Shark said: 'For many of us, it wasn't just a station — it was a rare place to listen to alternative music we couldn't find anywhere else. The lack of notice or communication has left us loyal listeners feeling blindsided and unheard.' Of course, most fans of alternative music get their fix by streaming songs on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and other sources. It remains to be seen what effect the death of South Florida's major alternative-music radio station will have on touring decisions of musicians heard on The Shark. Already geographically challenging, is the region now philosophically undesirable, too? This move comes less than a year after Audacy quietly canceled the 2024 Riptide Music Festival, the two-day, indie-music gathering it had organized since 2016 on Fort Lauderdale beach. The 2023 Riptide Music Festival that took place that December featured a strong lineup that included headliners The Black Keys and Jelly Roll, joined by Dirty Heads, Sublime with Rome, Awolnation, Silversun Pickups and others. The cancellation of Riptide 2024 came as Audacy was emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, a process completed in January. No word yet from Audacy on any plans to resurrect Riptide, but it would seem even more unlikely with the demise of The Shark, which promoted Riptide heavily.
