Metallica song and Star Trek Klingon quote being included at his ceremony.Labour councillor Tom Coles was chosen to take over from councillor Hugh Mason in Portsmouth, but in a less-than-traditional approach to the service the new mayor requested the ceremony start with him walking in to a famous Metallica song.Sporting his mayoral robes, Coles chose the band’s 1988 song ‘Eye Of The Beholder’ to be the music played during the historic event — a track taken from the metal band’s fourth studio album, ‘…And Justice For All’. Check out footage of the moment below (via BBC).As if the choice of music wasn’t enough to make the ceremony one that attendees wouldn’t forget, the new mayor also included a Klingon quote in his speech, paying reference to Star Trek.“It’s been a long road getting here and I’m humbled and honoured to stand before you as the Lord Mayor,” he also said at the annual city council meeting (via Portsmouth’s The News).
“I’m looking forward to making this year a great one for the citizens of this great city.”Chancellor Coles, who works at QA Hospital and formerly served in the Royal Navy — was first elected to his Fratton ward in 2018 and then re-elected in 2022. Long-serving Lib Dem councillor Jason Fazackarley will be his deputy.
He also served as lord mayor in the 2004/05 municipal year.“It has been a privilege to be the lord mayor of this great city,” said the former mayor, Hugh Mason. “I hope that my successor will find it to be as interesting and rewarding as I did.”In other news, last month Metallica kicked off their ongoing world tour, in celebration of their latest LP ‘72 Seasons’.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter There were more than a few misty eyes in the audience at the premiere of Pixar’s animated adventure “Elemental,” which closed out this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The sweet opposites-attract love story proved charming to attendees, closing out the festival with a five-minute standing ovation. At least one grown man in the orchestra was wiping away his cascading tears as the credits began to roll. It’s safe to assume he wasn’t alone in his emotional response to the film. “My heart is about to explode,” said ”Elemental” director Peter Sohn. “This film has been about the richness of diversity.

gives audiences a mix of their favorite classics with modern tweaks, including three new songs and several updates to the soundtrack's iconic tunes.The music reflects the film's refreshed story, which director Rob Marshall, producer John DeLuca, and screenwriter David Magee have explained they tweaked to implement specific changes showcasing a more modern Disney princess, addressing criticism that the original film featured a young woman who was too wrapped up in a man, and giving Ariel more agency.The soundtrack features the vocal talents of the film's new cast, including GRAMMY-nominated singer Halle Bailey as the titular mermaid, Princess Ariel, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, and Javier Bardem as King Triton, with Daveed Diggs as the voice of Sebastian the crab, Jacob Tremblay as Flounder, and Awkwafina as Scuttle.Lin-Manuel Miranda, who teamed up with legendary composer-songwriter Alan Menken to write the film's new songs, previously told ET that «getting to write music for these characters that are probably the reason I started writing musicals in the first place, was actually easier than I thought.»«But the hardest part was my own intimidation working with Alan Menken, and that was entirely self-imposed,» acknowledged Miranda, who also serves as a producer on the film, alongside Marc Platt. «But when it came to how these characters speak and what they say, I've known that all my life.
Three Floors” opened with a high-profile belly flop, festival-stalwart Nanni Moretti returns to Cannes with “A Brighter Tomorrow,” a comeback of sorts that also airs a list of grievances and could serve – should need arise – as a closing statement.Not that it likely will. Funny and endearing in some places, and typically grumpy and old-fashioned in others, “A Brighter Tomorrow” should, at very least, keep Moretti far from director’s jail for years to come.
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Tina Turner, who died Wednesday at 83, rarely failed to electrify, not just in person but with cameras as her conduit to the audience, too. Longtime Grammys executive producer Ken Ehrlich worked with Turner on programs from the late ’70s through the late ’90s, and he shared his memories with Variety of three particularly memorable TV performances. The first of these was in 1985, when she sang “What’s Love Got to Do With It” on the Grammys, the same year she won record of the year for that song — arguably the peak of her career, though she’d been revered for a quarter-century before that and would become a bigger superstar still in the next 25 years to follow. The second appearance he singles out is a duet between Turner and Elton John for a 1999 “VH1 Divas” special that got more fiery behind the scenes than necessary, albeit possibly to its benefit. Finally, he was an integral part of one of Turner’s last great TV spots, a highly copacetic duet with Beyoncé on the 2008 Grammys telecast.
