Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Billy Joel was giving a prelude to a song off one of his more obscure albums, 1974’s “Streetlife Serenade,” when a concertgoer at Madison Square Garden beat him to the punchline. “The Entertainer!” “Oh, that’s right. You’ve been here before,” Joel cracked to the sold-out crowd on the 95th night of his residency at the iconic New York venue.
“What a shock.” This rainy Friday evening kicked off the first of Joel’s final 10 concerts in his record-breaking Madison Square Garden residency, which will end next year after 150 shows. And for a singer with such a beloved catalog and generation-spanning fanbase, most of the audience certainly needs no introduction to the some 34 songs he played over two and a half hours. Despite his quip earlier in the night, he’s well aware these people aren’t here to hear anything from this decade, or even millennium.
To attend a Billy Joel concert is to know that you (and the 19,500 fans around you) know every word, and have license to belt, to every song on the setlist. Although he mostly lets his music do the talking, the 74-year-old performer seems to enjoy the moments in between songs when he gets to address the energetic room. On this evening, he took several opportunities to thank everyone for braving the “lousy weather” of this New York autumn to hear him perform.

Weeks after a New Yorker article alleged fabrications in his comedy standup, Hasan Minhaj is speaking out. In a 20-minute video posted on his Instagram account Thursday, Minhaj rejects allegations in the article, saying “it was so needlessly misleading.” You can watch the video below.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Just over a month after The New Yorker published a story in which it was revealed that Hasan Minhaj embellished some of his stand-up routines, the comedian has responded in a 20-minute video in which he calls the The New Yorker’s exposé “needlessly misleading.” “With everything that’s happening in the world, I’m aware even talking about this now feels so trivial,” Minhaj says in the video. “But being accused of ‘faking racism’ is not trivial. It’s very serious, and it demands an explanation…To everyone who read that article, I want to answer the biggest question that’s probably on your mind: Is Hasan Minhaj secretly a psycho? Underneath all that pomp, is Hasan Minhaj just a con artist who uses fake racism and Islamophobia to advance his career? Because after reading that article, I would also think that.” “I just want to say to anyone who felt betrayed or hurt by my stand-up, I am sorry,” he continues.
