The R&B singer said in an Instagram post that Rogan's "language around race" was "problematic," referring to a recent interview on Rogan's podcast in which he made offensive comments about African nations and said it was "weird" to use the term "Black" as an identifier. "Neil Young opened a door that I MUST walk through," Arie wrote on Monday. Other artists who've voiced support for Young include his former bandmates David Crosby and Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Variety reported Tuesday that Nash requested that his solo recordings be removed from the platform. Since Crosby sold the rights to his music, he can't control whether it's removed from Spotify. Arie said in her post that while she believes in freedom of speech, she finds Rogan "problematic for ...

Bravo Team has not fought its last fight. Paramount+ has renewed the David Boreanaz-led SEAL Team for a sixth  season, it was announced on Tuesday — a little over a week after the release of a satisfying-yet-ultimately explosive Season 5 finale. Network execs speaking at the Television Critics Association winter press tour confirmed that the renewal is for just 10 episodes (vs. Season 5’s 14), though this was not announced as a final season. SEAL Team‘s Jan. 23 season-ender — rife as it was with closure and big personal moments for most every character — could have been mistaken for a fine series finale, save for the closing sequence that rained RPG missiles down on a pinned-down Bravo in Mali. David Boreanaz, though, said that the episode was not at all designed to possibly wra...

Joe Rogan is getting support after saying he can do better on his podcast ... but some celebs still aren't buying it. The Rock was more than good with Joe's mea culpa, saying, "Great stuff here brother. Perfectly articulated. Look forward to coming on one day and breaking out the tequila with you." Kelly Slater echoed the sentiment ... "Love to see you offer to bring on Neil Young and/or Joni Mitchell on with whoever they want by their side to refute whatever it is they're so pissed about. If they're for truth it should be an easy convo. I'll be looking forward to their replies if so...

He was 31. "We are heartbroken by his loss and he will forever be in our hearts and deeply missed," Tassell told CNN. "He was a very beautiful person and an extremely talented actor. There really are no words to express the tragic loss of Moses. We just absolutely loved him." Tassell said Moseley's death is currently being investigated after he went missing recently. His family contacted the in-vehicle safety and security company OnStar, which was able to track and locate Moseley's car in the Hudson Bridge area of Stockbridge, Georgia, where his body was located, according to Tassell. Moseley worked on "The Walking Dead" from 2012 to 2015 and portrayed one of the zombies that followed the character Michonne, played by Danai Gurira. Other acting work included his appearances ...

Friend reflects on Cheslie's life Local news station WSOC talked with a friend of the 30-year-old. “I called her my doppelganger because obviously we were twins," Bea Cote said. "Just a real, sweet, funny, smart and beautiful person.” Cote said she was stunned over the weekend to learn that her friend had taken her own life. The two met in a leadership class three years ago and became close friends. “Disbelief. Disbelief because I, like most other people, fell for that. She’s got it all, she’s doing it all and she’s got this,” Cote said. Cote said Cheslie was so down-to-earth that she had no idea that she was competing in beauty pageants when they met. No matter how famous Cheslie got, she never lost her humility, Cote said.

Dwarf actors have continued to criticise Peter Dinklage for labelling Disney's Snow White remake as 'backwards' - as they suggest he is 'taking away dream roles' from little people.  Dylan Postl, who played Hornswoggle the leprechaun in WWE for 10 years and has also acted in The Muppets, appeared on ITV's This Morning via video link today to discuss Dinklage's recent complaints. Dinklage criticised Disney for remaking the 1937 film, questioning: 'Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soap box? I guess I'm not loud enough.' In response, the American studio said it is 'taking a different approach' with Snow White's seven companions and has been consulting with members of the dwarfism community throughout the early stages of production. However, US-based Postl said Disney's decisi...
