Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic There’s no IP more innately suited for adaptation as a pure two-hander than the tale of Adam and Eve, a story in which, initially at least, there are no other characters, excepting the creator of the universe, who quickly gets relegated to a supporting role in the wake of more fleshed-out human leads.

The FOX Network broadcast itself was simply great (more on that below) but I have a severe case of déjà vu after attending Monday night’s 75th annual Emmy Awards. It is as if in this vast TV universe of networks, streamers, cable, You Tube and more content that a human being could ever consume, the people who vote for awards have only seen three shows. Am I wrong? Every time I put on my tux and go to an awards show in 2024, meaning the past eight nights, it is always the exact same results for Limited, Comedy and Drama Series. At the Golden Globes it was Beef, The Bear, Succession. At Sunday night’s Critics Choice Awards it was Beef, The Bear, Succession. At the Emmys it was – you guessed it – Beef, The Bear, Succession.

There are few people who could ever understand what life is like as a Queen-in-waiting, but the Princess of Wales appears to have found a confidante in Mary, the new Queen of Denmark. Following the recent shock abdication of Queen Margrethe after a reign of more than five decades, Kate, 42, will have been keen to lend her support to close friend and “muse”, Mary, 51, who is married to the new King Frederik X.

that was a nice surprise.Anthony Anderson eschewed the traditional awkward monologue on Monday night’s 75th Emmy Awards — delivering a clever salute to several classic TV shows accompanied by a piano and a “small, inclusive choir from Compton.”(“Kevin Costner is from Compton!” he joked.)That, in itself, meant the show was off to a good start — and miles away from Jo Koy’s disastrous opening monologue on last week’s Golden Globes.For a second, I thought the opening shtick, “Mister Anderson’s Neighborhood,” would rip off Eddie Murphy’s classic “SNL” sketch (“Mister Robinson’s Neighborhood“), but it didn’t — as, instead, Anderson sang theme songs from “Good Times,” “The Facts of Life” and “Miami Vice” (with Travis Barker on drums … and Anderson was sockless, just like Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas in that landmark ’80s series).And he got the walkoff music bugaboo out of the way, joking that whoever didn’t follow the acceptance-speech timing rules would have to deal with his mother and “We Are Family” co-host, Doris Bowman (“Thank Jesus and your family and wrap it up,” he implored nominees).“The Bear” star Ayo Edebiri won Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy series — repeating her Golden Globe victory — and gave a nice speech thanking her parents.Ditto for her co-star Jeremy Allen White (Best Lead Actor, Comedy), who included one-too-many “I love yous” in his.It was great to see 90-year-old Carol Burnett on stage to present the Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, won by “Abbott Elementary” star Quinta Brunson, who gave a teary acceptance speech.

John Squire has hinted that he’s begun writing for a second collaborative album with Liam Gallagher.The first taster of the debut project from the former Oasis frontman and Stone Roses guitarist arrived this month in the form of ‘Just Another Rainbow’.The song was in the running for Number One single last week, but ended up losing out to Noah Kahan and his song ‘Stick Season’.The pair gave an update on the 10-track LP in conversation with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, and have now discussed further musical plans with The Guardian.After the debut album Gallagher previously hailed as “the best record since [The Beatles’] ‘Revolver’”, more music may be on the way, according to the piece.“The guitar fights back,” he simply said, with Gallagher adding: “If John comes up with another load of songs that are banging, they’ll get it as well.“Squire’s got a lot more in him.

‘Eras Tour’ to Miami in October; I saw her in Philadelphia last year, and she truly puts on a show like none other. The bad news? I have yet to secure tickets for any of her three stops in South Florida. The good news?
