SNL returns this weekend. "Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage will make his debut as host of Saturday Night Live tonight, April 2. You can also catch him this coming Friday, April 8, in the feature film "The Boss".
This weeks musical guest is Gwen Stefani whose recently released solo album, This Is What The Truth Feels Like, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Album Chart.
They're doing a slew of shows. Sorry New York, their show at St. Ann and The Holy Trinity Church is sold out!
A good deal of the songs on PersonA were written by all ten band members collectively. Writing would often begin with a member playing his instrument not even knowing where the song would go with principal songwriter and singer Alex Ebert encouraging and directing the song's shape yielding wonderfully unique ends. It's little wonder that Rolling Stone wrote that PersonA is the band's "most risk-taking, freewheeling album yet."

Sune Rose Wagner said of "EXCUSES", "I love piecing things together, It’s so inspiring working on bits and pieces and make them happen together in a beautiful way. EXCUSES is a great example of that, helps my ADD. Furthermore, being surrounded by creative, inspiring, mad people is so crucial to anything in life really but when you encounter the opposite it’s so sad and a major drag to say the least, EXCUSES is kinda about that."

Don Cheadle stars as the late trumpeter Miles Davis in this bio-pic he co-wrote with Steven Baigelman. In his directorial debut, Cheadle explores a tumultuous period of Davis' life during the late 70s where he had pretty much disappeared from the public eye. The film co-stars Ewan McGregor as a music reporter who ends up on an adventure with the caustic Davis.
MILES AHEAD is a wildly entertaining and moving exploration of one of 20th century music's creative geniuses, Miles Davis, featuring a career defining performance by Oscar nominee Don Cheadle in the title role. Working from a script he co-wrote with Steven Baigelman, Cheadle's bravura directorial debut is not a conventional bio-pic but rather a unique, no-holds barred portrait of a singular artist in crisis.
In the midst of a dazzling and prolific career at the forefront of modern jazz innovation, Miles Davis (Cheadle) virtually disappears from public view for a period of five years in the late 1970s. Alone and holed up in his home, he is beset by chronic pain from a deteriorating hip, his musical voice stifled and numbed by drugs and pain medications, his mind haunted by unsettling ghosts from the past.
Garbage (Shirley Manson, Steve Marker, Duke Erikson and Butch Vig) will release their sixth studio album, the self-produced Strange Little Birds. The album is scheduled to arrive on June 10 via the bands own label Stunvolume.
Working initially in Vig's basement and then at Red Razor Sounds in Los Angeles, Garbage drew on a variety of sources, from their recent fan letters back to the albums they loved growing up. "The guiding principle was keeping it fresh, and relying on instinct both lyrically and musically", said frontwoman Shirley Manson. Strange Little Birds is "less fussed over" than anything Garbage has ever made. "We fell in love with immediacy," adds Vig.
Lyon patriarch Lucious (Terrence Howard) has lost control of his company. Not being one to go down without a fight, he's going to do anything to get it back. Feeling the sting of Hakeem (Bryshere "Yazz" Gray) siding with his lady love Camilla (Naomi Campbell), family matriarch Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) will do things her way to get the empire back. How will Andre (Trai Byers) and the rest of the family handle the cliff-hanger tragedy that befell his wife Rhonda (Kaitlin Doubleday)? We shall see.
It was announced in January that FOX renewed Empire for its third season.
After lasts weeks departure of fan favorite of Derek Morgan (portrayed by Shemar Moore), Criminal Minds is bringing back a familiar face. Paget Brewster returns as Emily Prentiss to guest-star in this weeks episode, "Tribute".
Interpol agent Prentiss reunites with her BAU family to catch a serial killer she's been tracking.
