After the success of “Endless Wire”, the 10-part mini-opera The Who had been quiet about any new music they may create. Soon the wait will be over as we have new The Who music to look forward to in 2019.

According to The Guardian, Lead guitarist Pete Townshend said in a statement that fans could expect “dark ballads, heavy rock stuff, experimental electronica, sampled stuff and Who-ish tunes that began with a guitar that goes yanga-dang”.

There is no set release date quite yet, but The Who plan for later in 2019. Their last album, “Endless Wire” was their eleventh studio album and was released in 2006.

Tracklist

The tracklist has not been released yet. This page will be updated as more information is released.

Moving On! Tour

The band also announced their “Moving On!” 2019 Tour that will start in May. The official The Who website will have all the tour dates so check that out to see which cities the band will visit.

True fans of The Who will not want to miss this tour. For lead singer Roger Daltrey, this could be his last tour. “I have to be realistic that this is the age I am and voices start to go after a while,” he told the Mirror. “I don’t want to be not as good as I was two years ago.”

This tour won’t just include their old material, but there is the promise of some new content to showcase during the tour. Townshend claimed he wouldn’t commit to the tour if they didn’t have new material. The Who also assured fans that, even though there would be an orchestra it would not detract from how Daltrey and Townshend deliver their music.

Following the 20-year anniversary of The Sopranos premiere on January 10, discussion, analysis, and consumption of the seminal prestige drama has spiked, as Variety reports that viewership of the show on HBO Go and HBO Now has grown by 70 percent compared to the end of 2018.

However, viewership of the show hasn’t only grown because of the anniversary, as The Sopranos renaissance has also been fueled by the development of a prequel, The Many Saints of Newark.

The Many Saints of Newark, which was written by series creator David Chase and Lawrence Konner, will take place in Newark, New Jersey, in the late 1960’s and will be set to “the backdrop of the race riots that were happening in Newark at that time,” according to Alessandro Nivola, who is set to star in the film as Dickie Moltisanti (the father of Michael Imperioli’s iconic character Christopher Moltisanti.)

In addition to Nivola, it was recently reported by Variety that Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Punisher) and Vera Farmiga (The Departed, The Conjuring, Bates Motel,) have been cast in undisclosed roles.

Now, while this is merely personal speculation, given Bernthal’s build, Italian features, and star-power as an actor, it is not out of the realm of possibility that he has been cast as Tony Soprano’s father, Giovanni Francis “Johnny Boy” Soprano. As for Farmiga’s role, my guess is as good as yours.

The Many Saints of Newark will be directed by Alan Taylor, a longtime acclaimed television and film director who has helmed projects such as  Lost, The West Wing, Six Feet Under, Sex and the City, The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, Deadwood, Mad Men, Thor: The Dark World and Terminator Genisys.

At this time, the release date of The Many Saints of Newark has not been announced.

Texas authorities are currently searching for 22-year-old Rigoberto Cruz Santos in connection with the disappearance of 12-year-old Marisol Arroyo. An amber alert for Arroyo has since been issued.

What Happened To Marisol Arroyo?

The Live Oak County Sheriff’s office is currently searching for 22-year-old Rigoberto Cruz Santos to question him over the abduction of Marisol Arroyo.

According to reports, an Amber Alert has been issued for Arroyo who police say is in “grave or immediate danger.” Arroyo, a 12-year-old girl from George West, Oak County, Texas, is described as being 5-feet tall and weighing 85 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.

Santos, a 22-year-old male with black hair and brown eyes, was last seen in George West, Texas, which is located between San Antonio and Corpus Christi. He is reportedly driving an orange 2007 Chevrolet HHR with Oklahoma license plate number EKH253.

Police have asked anyone with information about Santos’ or Arroyo’s whereabouts to contact the Live Oak County Sheriff’s office at 361-449-2271.

William Owens, 39, has been identified as the person responsible for today’s active shooting and hostage situation at a UPS mailing facility in Logan Township, New Jersey. The two hostages, both women, were rescued by police and were not seriously injured. One of the hostages was reportedly Owen’s ex-girlfriend.

Following the hours-long standoff, William Owens was shot and killed by police, according to CBS 3 Philadelphia.

What Happened At NJ UPS Facility?

Police were seen responding to the UPS facility — located on Birchcreek Road in Logan Township, New Jersey — around 9:20 a.m. EST.

According to ABC 6, “multiple police vehicles and officers could be seen on the streets outside the sprawling complex.” Furthermore, initial reports indicated that responding officers could be seen “ducking behind police vehicles outside a loading ramp.”

The scene of the shooting — which was a UPS Mail Innovations facility — was described as a “large warehouse.”

Following the reports of the active shooting, UPS released the following statement:

“UPS is working with law enforcement as they respond to an active shooter situation at one of the company’s supply chain processing facilities in Logan Township, New Jersey. We cannot provide information about the identity of people involved at this time.”

William Owens was eventually shot and killed by police and neither of the hostages, who were both female UPS employees, was harmed.

via Associated Press:

“I heard one of my fellow employees say, ‘Run, he’s got a gun,’ then I heard the little pop of the gun, I guess, and we all ran and law enforcement took over,” employee Allen Anthony Dowling said.

Shortly before noon, as Gloucester County Prosecutor Charles Fiore was updating reporters on the situation, a short burst of gunfire was heard from the area of the facility. Fiore didn’t say how many shots police fired, or whether the gunman fired shots.

Fiore said there was apparently a prior relationship between the gunman and one of the women he took hostage, though he didn’t elaborate.

As a result of the shooting, nearby schools were placed on lockdown as precaution.

Who Is William Owens?

William Owens, 39, has been identified as the suspect responsible for today’s active shooting and hostage situation at the UPS facility in Logan Township, New Jersey.

Owens was shot and killed by police, while two female hostages, who were uninjured, were released.

United States Mass Shooting Statistics

The active shooting at the UPS facility in Logan Township, New Jersey, is just the latest in a string of active shooter incidents that have plagued the United States of America in recent years.

Despite the mounting death totals, our nation’s lawmakers have made little progress in making our society safer from these kinds of attacks. In 2017, n 2017, the United States had a total of 346 mass shootings. In 2018, there were over 300 mass shootings in the country.

Katelyn Ohashi, born on April 12, 1997, is a two-time All-American and previous four-time member of USA Gymnastics’ Junior National Team who attends the University of California-Los Angeles, where she is a member of the gymnastics team.

In 2018, Ohashi was the National Collegiate Athletic Association floor exercise co-champion. That same year, Ohashi scored 3 perfect scores on floor exercises and finished the regular 2018 season ranked #1 in the country.

Prior to attending UCLA, Ohashi was the junior national champion in 2011 and won the American Cup in 2013.

In January 2019, Ohashi went crazy viral on Twitter thanks to her incredible floor routine, which was set to classic tunes such as “September” by Earth, Wind and Fire, “The Way You Make Me Feel” by Michael Jackson, and “I Want You Back” by The Jackson 5.

Ohashi’s electric routine spurred her UCLA Bruins team to first place at the Collegiate Challenge.

This isn’t Ohashi’s first time going viral, though, as her Michael Jackson-inspired routine at the 2018 Pac-12 gymnastics championships currently has over 4 million views on YouTube.

The Clemson football team made the trip to the nation’s capital on Monday, January 14. The Tigers were in Washington, D.C. to celebrate their big national championship victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California a week ago.

While you may think that a trip to the White House means that you get to eat like a king, you’re wrong.

Instead, Donald Trump decided to go to some of his favorite places to get food for the team.

“I think we’re going to serve McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King’s [sic], with some pizza,” Trump told reporters ahead of the visit. “I really mean it. It’ll be interesting. I think that would be their favorite food, so we’ll see what happens.”

But we know that Donald Trump doesn’t always tell the whole truth, so was he just joking around with these comments? Nope.

Clemson co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Jeff Scott took to Twitter to share a photo from the White House which includes multiple Quarter Pounders stacked up on a silver platter.

It was a full-on buffet.

Beautiful.

You have to give Trump credit, though. He paid for all of the food out of his own pocket.

“The President wanted to host a fun event to celebrate the College Football National Champion Clemson Tigers,” deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley told CNN in a statement.

“Because the Democrats refuse to negotiate on border security, much of the residence staff at the White House is furloughed — so the President is personally paying for the event to be catered with some of everyone’s favorite fast foods.”

During the 2016 campaign, it was said that the four major food groups onboard Donald Trump’s private plane were “McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, pizza and Diet Coke.”

Looking at the meal he provided the national champions, we have no reason to doubt that was true.

The release of Future’s new album is just around the corner. The rap star is set to drop his new project “The WIZRD” on Friday, January 18. Ahead of the release, Future dropped the tracklist which features 20 songs and includes features from Young Thug, Gunna, and Travis Scott.

If you are a fan of the Los Angeles Rams, chances are you are familiar with Veronika Khomyn. Khomyn is the smoke show girlfriend of head coach Sean McVay, and she has been rooting on the team throughout the postseason.

Now, she’s ramping things up and showing off some new merch that Rams fans are going to want to get their hands on — especially the ladies.

Look, Sean McVay is a handsome guy. So if anyone is deserving of the name “McBae,” he’s it.

And that is exactly the moniker Khomyn went with for her latest shirt.

Okay, Rams fans. Go out and find where you can get that shirt immediately.

The Rams got to sit out the Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs as one of the top seeds in the NFC. In the Divisional Round, Todd Gurley and company were able to hold off a late run by the Dallas Cowboys to punch their ticket to the NFC Championship Game.

Up next for Los Angeles is a meeting with the New Orleans Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to determine who will punch their ticket to Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta. Kickoff between the Rams and Saints is set for 3:05 p.m. ET on Sunday, January 20. The winner will advance to take on the winner of the AFC Championship between the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs.

Super Bowl 53 takes place on Feb. 3, 2019, in Atlanta, Georgia. This year’s Super Bowl and halftime show — which will by performed by Maroon 5 and some select guests — will air on CBS.

Jessica Williams is one of the latest additions to Jordan Peele’s CBS All-Access Twilight Zone reboot, according to a report from Deadline. The show was ordered back in 2017 and is expected to premiere during the 2019 calendar year.

Williams has previously appeared as a senior correspondent for The Daily Show, and also starred on Girls, The Incredible Jessica James, and the podcast 2 Dope Girls with Phoebe Robinson.

Williams was born in Los Angeles, California and also resides in Brooklyn, New York.

At age 23 in 2012, Williams became the youngest correspondent in the history of The Daily Show after attending California State University, Long Beach.

David Steven Bell, a 51-year-old man, was booked in Buncombe County Jail over the weekend after a shocking moment was captured on video. Bell can be seen arguing with a group of girls in front of the Asheville Mall in North Carolina.

As the argument escalated, one of the young girls approached Bell, who cold-clocked the 11-year-old in the face and sent her falling to the ground unconscious.

Bell was arrested and charged with assault on a female under the age of 12 and two counts of assault, according to the Daily Mail.

Jail records show that Bell, who is listed at 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, was released from jail around 1:00 a.m. on Sunday.

Asheville Police Department

“We are aware of the videos circulating on social media. ‘The @AshevillePolice responded immediately and the situation was diffused. An arrest has been made,” the Asheville Mall said in a statement on social media. “Please contact the Asheville Police Department with further questions.”

The victim in the incident reportedly declined medical treatment. Police would not reveal the nature of any potential injuries, however.

Two other girls, both 13, also claim that Bell shoved them during the incident. Bell is due in court on February 5.

You can check out video of the incident below.

WARNING: Video contains graphic content that some viewers may find troubling. 

According to at least one eye witness, Bell was attempting to break up a fight between two young girls when he got involved in the altercation. After the incident failed to de-escalate, he shoved a young girl in the chest. When the girl came back towards Bell, he threw the vicious punch to her face that knocked her unconscious.

Bell was arrested by an off-duty police officer.

Regardless of how Bell became involved in the altercation, there is never an excuse for a grown man to strike a young girl.

Carol Channing, the legendary Broadway actress known for her performance in Hello, Dolly! has passed away at the age of 97-years-old.

According to a statement from Channing’s publicist on Tuesday, January 15, Channing died at her home in Rancho Mirage, California.

Here is the full statement from Channing’s publicist B Harlan Boll:

“It is with extreme heartache, that I have to announce the passing of an original Industry Pioneer, Legend and Icon – Miss Carol Channing. I admired her before I met her, and have loved her since the day she stepped … or fell rather … into my life. It is so very hard to see the final curtain lower on a woman who has been a daily part of my life for more than a third of it. We supported each other, cried with each other, argued with each other, but always ended up laughing with each other.

“Saying good-bye is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, but I know that when I feel those uncontrollable urges to laugh at everything and/or nothing at all, it will be because she is with me, tickling my funny bone.”

Channing, born on January 31, 1921, in Seattle, Washington, began her career as Broadway musical actress when she starred in the play Gentlemen Prefer Blondes in 1949, and Hello, Dolly! in 1964. For her performance in Hello, Dolly!, Channing won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical.

In 1981, Channing was inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame.

Marvel Studios and Sony have dropped the first official trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home.

While the trailer doesn’t delve much into the details of the plot (other than Peter going to Europe & Nick Fury popping up along the way), it does give us our first decent look at Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio.

In addition to starring Tom Holland as Spider-Man, Spider-Man: Far From Home will also star Michael Keaton, Jon Favreau, Zendaya, Marisa Tomei, Cobie Smulders, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio.

The story follows Peter Parker and his classmates as they go on summer vacation to Europe.

Spider-Man: Far From Home will be released in theaters on July 5, 2019, and will be the first Marvel Studios movie following Avengers: Endgame.

Rachel Zegler is about to be a household name. The 17-year-old high school student has been cast for the role of Maria in the upcoming West Side Story remake by Steven Spielberg. Zegler, who said on social media that she previously played the role of Maria on stage, reportedly beat out 30,000 women to land the leading role, according to Deadline.com.

“I am so thrilled to be playing the iconic role of Maria alongside this amazing cast,” Zegler told Deadline in a statement. “West Side Story was the first musical I encountered with a Latina lead character. As a Colombian-American, I am humbled by the opportunity to play a role that means so much to the Hispanic community.”

She also took to social media to share her excitement about the role.

“When i played maria on stage a few summers ago, i never could have imagined that i’d be taking on the role again in steven spielberg’s ‘west side story’,” she wrote on Instagram. (sic)

“As a colombian-american woman growing up in this day and age, strong roles like maria are so important. to be able to bring that role to life- a role that means so much to the hispanic community- is so humbling. i hope you’re all as excited as i am.”

If you need any convincing that Zegler is deserving of the role, check out her outstanding vocals from covers she has shared on social media.

Rachel will star alongside 24-year-old Ansel Elgort, who will play the role of Tony, and Ariana DeBose, a former Hamilton cast member, who will play Anita.

Rachel is currently an honors student from Clifton, New Jersey. She gained notoriety on social media after her cover of Lady Gaga’s “Shallow” from A Star is Born went viral with nearly half of a million views.

Zegler has also previously starred on stage as Cosette in Les Miserables.

“My favorite role that I’ve ever played is tied between Cosette in Les Miserables and Maria in West Side Story,” she said in a YouTube video sharing information about her life. “My favorite acting performance was as Maria, and my favorite singing performance was as Cosette.”

Filming for West Side Story will begin in the summer of 2019.

As if Apple hasn’t utterly dominated the market (and the world) and shafted us every way possible for the last 20 years, it appears that they will be changing the charger on the iPhone … again.

That’s right, after already changing the charger from the fat boi to the slim jimmi and eliminating the headphone port, the latest rumors from Apple nerds indicate that the tech giants (who are also the first company is history to be valued at $1 trillion, by the way) are set to change the way we charge our iPhones yet again, this time switching to a USB-C port.

Why make the switch, you ask? I’m sure Tim Cook will tell you something about efficiency or design or whatever other snake oil Apple continues to peddle us, but as we all know, its so they can sell us new chargers … just like they sold us new headphones.

via MacRumors:

Mac Otakara‘s report also suggests that the next-generation iPhone coming in 2019 could potentially include a USB-C port. According to “those who are working on it,” though, it has not reached a design reference step and whether or not the new iPhones will use USB-C over Lightning is not yet fully established.

This is not the first time we’ve heard that USB-C could be a feature included in the 2019 iPhone lineup. Atherton Research analyst Jean Baptiste Su recently said that he believesApple will transition away from Lightning, introducing a USB-C port for the iPhone like it did on the 2018 iPad Pro models.

DigiTimes has also suggested in a vaguely worded report that 2019 iPhones could feature USB-C ports instead of Lightning ports, though it was difficult to tell if it was referring to the ports or a USB-C to Lightning cable for the iPhones.

As for when Apple would officially announce the new charging port if the rumor were true, it’d likely be in September.

UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw is looking to make history on Saturday, January 19 when he makes the move to 125-pounds to take on flyweight champion Henry Cejudo in the main event of UFC on ESPN+1. Dillashaw will be looking to become the latest two-division UFC champion, joining the likes of Conor McGregor, Daniel Cormier, and Amanda Nunes.

Ahead of the fight, however, there has been plenty of discussion about Dillashaw’s ability to cut to the 125-pound limit for the title fight.

In a recent interview, Dillashaw and his nutritionist, Sam Calavitta of the Performance Specialist at The Treigning Lab in Orange County, California, discussed the meticulous process behind what they are calling the “most intricately executed” weight cut in MMA history.

Calavitta explained the science behind the cut in an interview with MMAjunkie.com.

“This here is probably, in combat sports, the most intricately executed and calculated-out weight cut in the history of it,” Calavitta said. “This process is not something that’s done overnight. Weight cutting in the industry has been bastardized to salt baths and sauna and starvation and dehydration for 24 hours to 48 hours, and it’s killing folks.

“There’s no calculations, there’s no metabolic process, there’s no high-grade equipment. I understood if this process was going to happen, we needed to have a certain calculated number of time to do it properly.”

According to Calavitta, Dillashaw began the training camp for UFC Brooklyn at 154 pounds with eight percent body fat.

Entering fight week, Dillashaw weighed 135 pounds, meaning he has 10 pounds to drop ahead of the fight on Saturday night but he and Calavitta are confident he will be able to hit the mark. We will see on Friday whether he is able to shed the final pounds.

UFC on ESPN+1 takes place Saturday, January 19 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The event will mark the UFC’s first event under its new broadcasting partnership with ESPN.

Breanna Hernandez has been identified as the 27-year-old teacher in Henderson, Nevada that was arrested on Monday, January 14, on two counts of kidnapping, two counts of lewdness with a minor, and two counts of luring a minor.

According to reports, the Clark County School District Police Department arrested Hernandez on Monday, January 14, following an investigation that was launched in November 2018. The investigation into Hernandez was launched after inappropriate messages were exchanged between Hernandez and an unidentified Basic Academy of International Studies student.

After being arrested, Hernandez was booked into the Clark County Detention Center and charged with two counts of kidnapping, two counts of lewdness with a minor, and two counts of luring a minor.

Hernandez was fired by the Clark County School District in 2015. Following the launch of the investigation, Hernandez’s employment status was changed to “assigned to home”, said police.

As for why there has been such a significant increase in instances of teachers having inappropriate relationships with students, researchers believe that technology is to blame.

According to a report from the Texas Education Association, smartphones make easy for teachers to privately text and talk with students and also make it possible for teachers and students to share explicit images.

SESAME (Stop Educator Sexual Abuse Misconduct & Exploitation) President Terri Miller echoed that sentiment, stating “before cell phones, we knew who our kids were talking to” but today, “kids have their own phones, they’re taking them to bed, and parents need to watch more.”

Hoffman has been one of many teachers to be charged for inappropriate conduct. Over the course of just a few months, teachers across the United States have been charged, tried, and convicted of various abuse and sex crimes.

The list goes on to include 22-year-old Oklahoma science teacher Hunter Day, 28-year-old teacher Megan Kotarski, 23-year-old history teacher Michelle Schiffer, 29-year-old Alyssia Marie Reddy, special education teacher Jordan Ondish and 28-year-old Samantha Fitzpatrick have all been allegedly carrying on inappropriate relationships with their students.

Most recently, teachers such as 29-year-old Haylie Smart, 25-year-old Alaina Ferguson, 26-year-old Amy Nowaczyk, and 32-year-old Laura Bucy were arrested and charged for similar crimes.
