Vin Diesel is ready to make "the testosterone-male answer to Barbie." The actor recently offered an update on his long-gestating Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots movie, which he claims will be as successful as Warner Bros.' 2023 box office hit Barbie, also based on a Mattel toy.

In a lengthy Instagram post, which featured brief updates on several projects Diesel is involved in, like The Last Witch Hunter 2, the actor wrote, "Mattel, one of my favorite companies, is getting close to launching the testosterone-male answer to Barbie with Rock ‘em Sock ‘em!" Diesel's wording suggests that the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots movie, which was first announced in 2021, is close to receiving a production start date. The actor's update comes less than a month after he last teased Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots on his Instagram. In February 2025, he shared a photo of the red and blue robots along with the caption,...

A hollow, lifeless conference hall at the Los Angeles Convention Center is just about the last place you would expect to find a Grateful Dead tribute concert on a Friday night. But it was there that MusiCares put on a show for the ages, honoring the band at its Persons of the Year gala with founding members Bob Weir and Mickey Hart in attendance (drummer Bill Kreutzmann could not make the trip and delivered a message by video) and a slew of acolytes who understood the assignment.

Typically, the MusiCares dinner is a polite affair, with guests seated respectfully for most of the performances, save the all-star finale, a staple of the event. And that’s not to say that previous Person of the Year recipients — which include Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney and Barbra Streisand — didn’t have their own rabid fanbases in attendance. But the Deadheads just do things differently.

Dave Matthews will no longer perform at this week’s FireAid benefit concert and MusiCares‘ 2025 Persons of the Year benefit gala. In a statement, the band revealed Matthews is dealing with “a critical illness in the family,” leaving him unable to attend either event.

This year’s Grammy week will be looking a little different, as the show will take place shortly after Los Angeles was devastated by wildfires in the Pacific Palisades and Altadena. Music’s biggest night will mark the first awards show to take place in L.A. since the tragedy began on Jan. 7, and many of the typical Grammy events have been canceled as the usual players — including Spotify and the major labels — redirect resources to aid wildfire relief efforts.

However, a handful of events will carry on with a charitable component, including the starry Clive Davis party and MusiCares tribute concert. Check out this year’s still-on Grammys celebrations below.

Sammy Hagar is set to kick off a Las Vegas residency in April, and going forward residencies and one-off shows might be the only way to see the Red Rocker.

In a new interview, the 77-year-old Hagar revealed that he doesn’t want to tour anymore, and has even told his manager to not book any extended outings. However, it appears Hagar would do more residencies if he enjoys playing in Vegas.

“I don’t think I want to go on tour anymore,” he told the Miami Herald. “I hate to say that, because I don’t want to piss my fans off. I’ll go out and do a one-off show and do things like that, but the residency is going to give me a good extension of my career. That’s what I’m hoping for.”

He added, “I keep telling my manager,...

Joe Satriani is known for his virtuoso skills on guitar, so any praise he heaps on another guitarist is worth its weight in gold. In a recent interview, Satriani commended Kurt Cobain, calling the late Nirvana frontman a “great guitar player.”

“I was very happy with those Nirvana records,” Satriani told Classic Rock. “He was a great guitar player. You go back and look at Nirvana clips, and you realize this guy is playing everything he’s supposed to play. He’s not looking at what he’s playing, so obviously he really knows the instrument.”

Billy Joel spent New Year’s Eve in front of a capacity crowd at Ubs Arena in Elmont, New York, where he played an extended set that mixed big hits with lesser-known tunes from his catalog.

“We’re going to bring a guest onstage and do this next song,” Joel told the audience. “We have fun playing this, especially with this guy.

Sammy Hagar has responded to Alex Van Halen skipping the “Van Hagar” era in his memoir, calling the lack of acknowledgement “blasphemy” to Eddie’s legacy.

Hagar’s remarks came via an otherwise innocuous Instagram post that saw the Red Rocker nostalgically reflecting on his time in Van Halen. In the original post, featuring a photo from 1991 of Hagar and Eddie heading to the stage, Hagar joked about their choice of fashion at the time before taking a more serious tone when commenters began to compare the David Lee Roth years to Van Hagar.

“No disrespect to Alex but it’s ok to like Vh with Sammy, even if he doesn’t anymore,” wrote one commenter, prompting another: “Most purists believe Vh ended with Dlr.”

Metallica hosted their fourth Helping Hands benefit concert and auction on Friday (December 13th) at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles.

The concert marked the first Helping Hands benefit since 2022 and saw Metallica perform two sets, one acoustic and one electric, featuring covers, rare cuts, and new arrangements alongside guest collaborators. The evening, once again hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, also featured performances by Sammy Hagar’s “Best of All Worlds” band and the classical duo SistaStrings.

For their acoustic set, Metallica were joined by musicians Avi Vinocur and Henry Salvia, along with SistaStrings on a couple songs, running through a five-song set that expanded beyond the band’s normal selection. That included the first performance of “Low Man’s Lyric” since 1998, covers of “Helpless” by Diamond Head and “Away from Home” by Bachman-Turner Overdrive (Metallica’s first time covering the tune), and a new acoustic arrangement...

When the first look at the Disney+ series "Skeleton Crew" hit the scene, "Star Wars" fans were finally united on the most important subject of our time — the fact that we are ready to fall on the lightsaber if it means honoring and protecting Neel (Robert Timothy Smith). The new coming-of-age adventure series set after the events of "Star Wars: Episode VI -- Return of the Jedi" centers on four younglings who accidentally take off in a starship known as the Onyx Cinder and wind up lost in the galaxy before linking up with a Force-sensitive pirate named Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law). One of those younglings is Neel, the only non-human in the core group from their (at the start of the series) unidentified planet. Neel's best friend is the human boy Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), and from all that we've seen of their world, humans and aliens coexist in harmony.

Credit — or blame, as the case may be — generally goes to Sammy Hagar. The former Van Halen frontman kick-started the celebrity booze movement when he launched his own Cabo Wabo Tequila back in 1999. The trend went into overdrive in 2017 after George Clooney offloaded his Casamigos tequila label to Diageo for a cool $1 billion. Suddenly, every A-lister (and A-list aspirant) wanted in. And though the ubiquity of celebrity brands has reached the point of parody, their performance is entirely serious, outpacing the industry as a whole. But which of them are any good? THR has convened a panel of mixologists and booze experts to single out their favorites — and those best relegated to the bottom shelf.

Celebrity chef Guy Fieri and rock and roll legend Sammy Hagar co-own a tequila business. However, the two never expected that someone would hijack two trucks bringing their alcohol. That happened, though, and two trucks carrying the valuable merchandise were stolen.

Here is a look at what happened, and what Fieri and Hagar had to say.

Sammy Hagar & Guy Fieri Tequila Trucks Hijacked

Guy Fieri is a celebrity chef best known for his various TV shows on the Food Network, including Diners, Driver-Ins, and Dives. Sammy Hagar is a rock and roll legend. He sang songs like “I Can’t Drive 55” and was Van Halen’s second lead singer. More recently, they co-own a tequila business.

Guy Fieri

Fieri, 56, and Hagar, 77, co-own the tequila brand Santo Spirits. According to reports, two of their trucks crossed the border into Texas. After they reached Laredo, Texas, on November 9, the thieves hijacked the trucks.

Jason Bonham has opened up about his ouster from Sammy Hagar‘s “Best of All Worlds” band in a new interview.

As previously reported, Bonham was recently permanently replaced in Hagar’s live band by Kenny Aronoff. The lineup change came after Aronoff filled in for Bonham on the last four dates of Hagar’s summer tour, when the son of late Led Zeppelin legend John Bonham had to drop off to be with his ailing mother.

Bonham initially broke the news of his permanent replacement to fans on social media who had inquired whether he would be rejoining Hagar for future dates. Now the drummer has shared more details about the split — which came as a surprise to Bonham, who had toured and recorded three studio albums with the Red Rocker since 2015.

“Sammy rang me awhile ago,” Bonham told Ultimate Classic Rock. “He was asking about my mom,...

Guy Fieri and Sammy Hagar’s joint tequila business suffered a huge setback after two trucks carrying about $1 million worth of their Santo Tequila were hijacked in a double heist in Texas during the weekend of November 9th.

According to a representative of Hagar, via Fox News, the trucks were hijacked over the weekend in Laredo, just after crossing the border into the United States. A total of 4,040 cases of tequila, including Santo blanco, reposado, and a special extra añejo — which took 39 months to make — were stolen.

Hagar’s rep added that the double heist appears to be an “organized crime effort where the trucks were illegally double brokered to different carriers who transferred the product to their trucks” after crossing the border from Mexico into Texas.

Sammy Hagar’s Best of All Worlds tour is coming to Las Vegas for a nine-show residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM between April 30 and May 17, 2025. He’ll once again be joined by bassist Michael Anthony, guitarist Joe Satriani, drummer Kenny Aronoff, and keyboardist Rai Thistlethwayte for a show that leans heavily into the Van Halen catalog, but also touches on Hagar and Satriani solo tunes. Ticket sales begin on Friday, November 22.

The song selection was relatively static throughout the summer, but that won’t be the case in Vegas.

This past summer, Sammy Hagar featured an all-star backing band of Joe Satriani (guitar), Michael Anthony (bass), and Jason Bonham (drums) as part of his “Best of All Worlds” tour focusing heavily on Van Halen material. Now, the Red Rocker is moving on without Bonham, replacing him with another renowned drummer, Kenny Aronoff.

Aronoff actually filled in for Bonham on the last four dates of the tour, when the son of late Led Zeppelin legend John Bonham had to drop off the outing to be with his ailing mother. According to Jason, the switch has become permanent.

As Alex Van Halen continues to promote his upcoming memoir, Brothers, the drummer’s apparent disdain for Sammy Hagar becomes more and more evident. In a new interview with Billboard, Alex suggests that Van Halen lost their “magic” after David Lee Roth left the band in 1985.

In a previous interview with Rolling Stone, Alex blamed Diamond Dave’s apparent refusal to pay tribute to Eddie Van Halen for putting the kibosh on a planned reunion tour honoring the late guitarist. That said, he holds the band’s initial years with Dlr in the highest regard.

“What happened after Dave left is not the same band,” Van Halen told Billboard. “I’m not saying it was better or worse or any of that. The fact is Ed and I did our best work whenever we played.”

He continued, “We always gave it our best shot. But the magic was in the first years,...

Van Halen was established back in 1973 and found itself being disbanded after nearly five decades of incredible musicmaking, but its rage among the rock fans is still as strong as ever. Over the years that it was still active, while the heavy metal band restored hard rock to the forefront of the music scene through its energetic live performances – especially through its late lead guitarist Eddie Van Halen – it was also met with quite a lot of changes.

For one, while it started with the Van Halen brothers, Eddie and Alex, the band went on to let rock singer David Lee Roth hop onto their rock-y journey as well, despite all the complications. But his tenure didn’t last long as, within less than a decade, Roth ended up leaving to embark on his own solo journey, with his empty spot being filled by Sammy Hagar. After a decade, Hagar left too,...

At different times when Van Halen were in between singers, Ozzy Osbourne and Chris Cornell were each in the running to front the legendary rock band. The revelation comes courtesy of Alex Van Halen’s first interview since the 2020 passing of his brother Eddie Van Halen.

While speaking with Rolling Stone to promote his new memoir, Brothers, set for release on October 22nd, Alex revealed that, on each occasion, Van Halen were deep in the process of working with Osbourne and Cornell.

Osbourne was approached in 2001, after Gary Cherone’s tenure in Van Halen ended in 1999, and prior to Sammy Hagar’s return in 2003. Alex said that he and Eddie sat down with Sharon Osbourne to discuss an Ozzy-fronted Van Halen album, but the plans fell apart upon the launch of MTV’s The Osbournes reality show.

Alex Van Halen has given his first public interview since the death of his brother Eddie Van Halen, and the drummer revealed some shocking revelations regarding a proposed Van Halen reunion tour that never came to fruition.

Alex spoke to Rolling Stone ahead of the release of his memoir Brothers on October 22nd, opening up about myriad topics, including the nixed reunion tour and the bizarre reason why the plans came to a halt.

Rumors of the tour that had circulated since Eddie’s passing were largely true. According to the Rolling Stone article, Roth and Alex had even begun rehearsing for the tour with members of Dlr’s solo band, with plans to fill out the lineup with former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony and Joe Satriani on lead guitar, in Eddie’s place.

No 1970s car exudes more Hollywood allure than the Ferrari 365 Gtb/4, known colloquially as the “Daytona.” Not only was it coveted by movie stars and rock gods, but it had several memorable screen appearances itself. One played a significant role in Robert Altman’s Elliott Gould-starring ode to Film Noir, The Long Goodbye. Perhaps most famously, a convertible version starred in 1976’s A Star Is Born, with Kris Kristofferson at the wheel and Barbra Streisand in the passenger seat.

Now, just as that movie inspired an acclaimed remake a few years back, the 365 Gtb/4 is having a revival. Ferrari design head Flavio Manzoni likes to suggest that all cars from the Italian exotic automaker are of-the-moment, reflecting their time. But he has not been shy in discussing the historical inspiration for the brand’s new, $459,000 two-seater, the 12Cilindri. Manzoni has said quite clearly that the front end and overall shape echo the Daytona.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has rolled out a list of performers and presenters for the ceremony set to stream live on Oct. 19, with actor Julia Roberts, hip-hop producer Dr. Dre, pop superstar Dua Lipa and country luminaries Keith Urban and Jelly Roll among those slated to pay tribute to the 2024 inductees next month in Cleveland.

As is its fashion, the Hall often does not distinguish in advance between those who will perform live and those who will offer induction speeches, leaving fans guessing about not just that but who will be honoring who. In many cases it’s easy to connect the dots, though, as when Jimmy Buffett’s longtime band member Mac McAnally and frequent duet partner Kenny Chesney are slated to show up in the year Buffett is being inducted.
