Maia Kealoha, 8, stars in 'Lilo & Stitch.' Now she wants to work with Adam Sandler. Show Caption Hide Caption Young new star, Maia Kealoha joins Stitch from 'Lilo & Stitch' Hollywood's newest young star, Maia Kealoha, joins Stitch in studio to talk new remake 'Lilo & Stitch' NEW YORK − Maia Kealoha is promoting her film debut, a starring role in Disney's live-action remake of 2002's animated hit "Lilo & Stitch." Sitting in the USA TODAY studio next to an animatronic Stitch, the actress recalls her audition process with a level of excitement you would expect from an 8-year-old. "Do you want to know a fun fact?" the Hawaii native asks. "It was my first trip to Disneyland and that's where we got the callback for the chemistry reads. And it actually snowed, like real snow, in Disneyland." Snow is rare in Anaheim, California. It's also rare for a young child to make her silver-screen debut in a major Disney movie. But in this instance, it was partly by design. Join our Watch Party!

'I always felt like we needed a real young kid for this, ideally one who hasn't become an actor and had their cuteness weaponized toward booking commercials. "Maia was 5 when she sent her tape and we thought it was really promising. But then, when she walked into the room for her callback, it was very clear to all of us that she was the front-runner. Unlike a lot of the kids we saw, she was dragging her parents to these auditions and not the other way around." Camp remembers how Kealoha was outgoing and "lit up the room when she walked in." She carries that same energy while talking about the film, her future and literally any other topic that comes up. "Oh, my gosh, I would love to be in a movie with Jenna Ortega and Adam Sandler," she says when asked about actors she looks up to. She adds that Sandler "is a funny one" and cites "Happy Gilmore" as her favorite film of his. In "Lilo & Stitch," Kealoha is a part of a cast that includes Hannah Waddingham, Zach Galifianakis and Billy Magnussen. Sydney Agudong plays her big sister/guardian Nani. Tia Carrere, who voiced Nani in the original, appears in the new film as the social worker Mrs. Kekoa. Chris Sanders reprises his role as the voice of Stitch. "(Galifianakis) is really funny and creative and he just told me to keep going on with my dreams," Kealoha recalls. "Also, Sydney (Agudong) taught me how to be a great big sister now that I have a little brother. She's just a great role model." Kealoha says it was "amazing" to watch the movie at the premiere and she hopes to act more. "I would like to do my own TV show," she says confidently. "Maybe like an action movie or 'M3GAN 3' or maybe a 'Lilo & Stitch 2.' Bing, bang, boom, let's go!" Kealoha laughs as she makes the "boom" noise and animatronic Stitch nods in approval. At least if Disney is looking to make a sequel, its stars are already on board. Contributing: Patrick Ryan

Guns N' Roses Share Video of Axl Rose Repeatedly Falling Onstage: Watch
The post Guns N' Roses Share Video of Axl Rose Repeatedly Falling Onstage: Watch appeared first on Consequence. Guns N' Roses have surprisingly released a comedic video of the numerous times frontman Axl Rose has fallen over onstage. The one-minute clip of Axl taking a spill — 14 times in total — is rare bit of self-deprecation from the notoriously media shy and self-serious singer. The video, which is soundtracked by 'Welcome to the Jungle,' was posted to Guns N' Roses' Instagram on Monday (May 19th). Classic Rock magazine calculated that GN'R have played approximately 1,092 shows over the course of their career, which means that Axl has toppled over during at least 1.28% of the band's concerts — and the clip just documents the times he's fallen down on camera, so that percentage is likely much higher. Editor's PickThe video is certainly a humorous way to promote the band's ongoing world tour, though we hope the 63-year-old singer is bit more careful with his stage moves, or he might end up singing from Dave Grohl's throne again. As previously reported, GN'R kicked off the trek at Songdo Moonlight Park in Incheon, South Korea, earlier this month. The tour — their first with new drummer Isaac Carpenter — runs through an appearance at the Wacken Festival in Germany on July 31st. Get tickets here. Check out the video of Axl Rose falling down repeatedly below.

Dave Navarro on Jane's Addiction: 'There's No Chance to Ever Play Together Again'
The post Dave Navarro on Jane's Addiction: 'There's No Chance to Ever Play Together Again' appeared first on Consequence. While the future certainly didn't look bright for Jane's Addiction following an onstage fight between singer Perry Farrell and guitarist Dave Navarro this past September, Navarro has seemingly put the last nail in the coffin for the legendary alt-rock band in a new interview. As previously reported, Farrell shoved and punched Navarro onstage toward the end of Jane's Addiction's September 13th show at Leader Bank Pavilion in Boston, ending the concert abruptly. The singer was pulled off the guitarist by Cleary and bassist Eric Avery, who then landed a couple of punches on Farrell. It was later reported that moments later, Farrell punched Navarro again backstage, this time in the face. The band subsequently canceled the remainder of the tour, which was the first outing featuring all four classic members of the band — Farrell, Navarro, Avery, and drummer Stephen Perkins — in 14 years. Farrell apologized for the incident, with his wife Etty Lau Farrell reporting that the singer had sought medical help after the meltdown. In a new interview with Guitar Player magazine, Navarro was asked to name the best and worst gigs of his career. The best was having his musical hero Lou Reed perform with his covers band Camp Freddy. The worst was that Boston show on September 13th, 2024, with Navarro noting, 'There were a couple of gigs on this last run that we did last year in Europe with Eric Avery back on bass that were some of my favorite Jane's Addiction gigs of all-time. There was no bullshit: No props. No nothing onstage. No dancing, no pyro, and no gimmicks. It was just the four of us and some colored lights, and we were playing the songs, expanding on them, and getting in a kind of weird.' He continued, 'If you combined Grateful Dead and Radiohead, there were moments like that — just weird, experimental jams that we'd never done before as a band.'

Trump Calls for Investigation into Springsteen, Other Musicians Who Supported Kamala Harris
The post Trump Calls for Investigation into Springsteen, Other Musicians Who Supported Kamala Harris appeared first on Consequence. With Bruce Springsteen continuing his on-stage criticism of Donald Trump, the president is now calling for an investigation into the musician's past association with Kamala Harris. Early Monday morning, Trump announced via Truth Social the launch of a 'major investigation' looking into whether campaign appearances by Springsteen, Beyoncé, Bono, and Oprah Winfrey in support of Harris during her 2024 president run constituted as 'illegal campaign contributions.' 'Candidates aren't allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment,' Trump added. 'In addition, this was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially build up her sparse crowds. IT'S NOT LEGAL! For these unpatriotic 'entertainers,' this was just a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL way to capitalize on a broken system.' Financial records released since the 2024 presidential campaign reveal that Harris' campaign spent a significant amount of money on rallies and events featuring celebrity endorsers like Oprah, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry. However, according to The New York Times, these celebrities appeared without compensation, with the funds directed toward support staff and production costs. Springsteen has been a thorn in Trump's side since launching his 'Land of Hope and Dreams Tour' last week, his on-stage criticism the former president from the stage. Trump previously threatened to block the musician's reentry into the US.
