Prince William is echoing his brother Prince Harry‘s sentiments on the pressures of social media on kids and young adults.
The royal dad gave a passionate speech at a circus-themed gala Monday night, celebrating the partnership between The Children’s Trust, an organization that helps children with brain injuries, and one of his key charities, Skillforce.
“The pressure on young people these days is considerable — almost certainly more than even for my generation not so long ago,” he said.
“Children are tested more than ever before and are being prepared to enter a highly competitive work market,” he continued.

Barbet Schroeder speaks about the influence of Walter Benjamin and Raoul Hausmann on Amnesia and Ibiza Photo: Anne-Katrin Titze
Barbet Schroeder in our conversation remembers his famous grandfather Hans Prinzhorn, Walter Benjamin in San Antonio, Raoul Hausmann and the fascinating water system of Ibiza architecture, employing a time frame in Amnesia (for Marthe Keller, Max Riemelt, Bruno Ganz, Corinna Kirchhoff, Fermí Reixach, Marie Leuenberger, Joel Basman) going ten years back to 1990 after the fall of the Berlin Wall, More and the music of Pink Floyd.
Jo (Max Riemelt): "Basically, it's cubes and every cube can collect the water."
Anne-Katrin Titze: Let's talk about the spirit of place. The house on Ibiza for me resembled the mood of Georgia O'Keeffe's house in New Mexico. Despite the fact that the landscape is very different. Can you tell me a bit about the house in Amnesia?

Actress Naomi Watts is sharing new details of her life.
The actress recently opened up to The Guardian about her nomadic childhood, finding friends with fellow Aussie Nicole Kidman and her struggles in Hollywood.
Watts' father was a sound engineer for Pink Floyd and her mom was a model, traveling the world with the band. Having hip parents might sound like a dream for most kids, but for Watts, she craved normalcy.

Naomi Watts‘ childhood of moving around and adapting herself to new situations prepared her for a successful career as an actress, but it wasn’t easy.
The actress was just 7 years old when her father Peter Watts, a sound engineer for Pink Floyd, died in 1976 of an apparent overdose from heroin at age 31.
It wasn’t until very recently that she even saw a clear image of her father smiling, when a fan of the rock band gave a photo to her, she told The Guardian in a new interview.

If you’re looking for a conservative-leaning evening of progressive rock, former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters’ Us + Them tour may not be such a good idea. As Waters plays “Pigs (Three Different Ones),” multiple unsavory images of Donald Trump are projected in neon lights in the background. The images include giant florescent depictions of Trump wearing lipstick and eye shadow, firing a weapon and reclining in women’s lingerie. At one point, the words “Trump Is a Pig” stretch across the stage and, at another, a blimp crosses overhead with Trump’s face and his blackened eye covered with a dollar sign.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner have been under fire for a line of “vintage” tees that were released by their eponymous clothing line, Kendall + Kylie, last week. The “Rap vs. Rock” T-shirt lines featured the sisters’ faces superimposed over images of famous musicians including Tupac Shakur, Notorious B.I.G. and The Doors. Celebrities such as Paris Jackson and Kelly and Sharon Osbourne spoke out, The Doors issued a cease and desist letter and Notorious B.I.G.’s mom, Voletta Wallace shared her disappointment on Instagram. Although the sisters issued a formal apology and recalled the shirts, the backlash continues.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner found themselves in hot water last week after releasing a collection of "vintage" t-shirts featuring their photos and logos superimposed over the faces of musical icons like Notorious B.I.G., Tupac Shakur, and Ozzy Osbourne and legendary bands like The Doors and Pink Floyd. The shirts, which originally retailed for $125, were removed from the sisters' website and officially discontinued on Thursday after receiving backlash from not only the public - who once again accused the girls of cultural appropriation and copyright infringement - but also those affiliated with the celebrities whose likenesses were used, including Biggie's mother, Voletta Wallace. Even though both girls issued apologies via social media, the controversy is just the latest in a growing line of ill-conceived business decisions by the Kardashian-Jenner sisters this year.

Supermodel Kendall Jenner was spotted at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday. And with all the controversy she’s found herself in this year — including the outrage this week over her recent vintage rap T-shirt line — it’s no wonder she wasn’t smiling wide.
The 21-year-old model, who was accompanied by sister Kourtney Kardashian, looked very serious as she entered the airport.
She wore a cropped teal top with matching hoodie and black Adidas track pants. Her hair in braids, Jenner kept her accessories simple — a pair of black sunglasses and high-heeled snakeskin boots.

The reality star duo launched new “vintage” black T-shirts on Wednesday: one that combined their faces with those of Notorious B.Ig. and Tupac Shakur and another that used Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” logo, neither of which went over well with fans.
The Jenner sisters were torn apart on Twitter for placing their faces over those of the rap icons — both of whom were killed around the time the ladies were born — and they have since removed images of themselves wearing the shirts from the Kendall + Kylie website and Instagram account.

The 18th Annual Animation Show of Shows Sva Theater, NYC
I became an animation fan -- a true aficionado -- early in life. It had little or nothing to do with children's shows on television (Hanna-Barbera, Speed Racer, Gigantor, et al), though I watched and liked most of them. Rather, it was probably when I first saw Fantasia (likely mid-1960s), and then The Jungle Book (1967) and (of course!) The Beatles' Yellow Submarine (1968). By that time, I was actively looking for good (or great) animation. I was not a fan of Disney (though I have a sentimental fondness for The Aristocats (1970)), and anime feature films did not become widely known in the U.S. until the 1980s.
So when I heard about something called the Fantastic Animation Festival in 1977, I made sure to check it out. Comprised of a series of 18 animated short films, it was exactly what animation aficionados were looking for.

A straw poll of the average music fan on what the biggest British albums of all time are is likely to consist of: Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd; (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? by Oasis; probably 21 by Adele; maybe Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits; Queen’s Greatest Hits Vol. 1, perhaps; but most definitely, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles. The latter of these has reached the grand old age of fifty, and so in way of celebration has been remastered and re-released in a sparkly new boxed set, which also includes a plethora of alternative recordings, outtakes and interviews, over four CDs and two DVDs and 100 minutes of extra footage. Imagine the 1995 release of The Beatles era defining anthology series, but focused purely on 1967. The release is also supported by a feature length documentary, directed by long time Beatles fan Alan G. Parker...

When you’re speaking to Roger Waters, there is no such thing as small talk. The mind responsible for some of the most ambitious productions in pop music history is constantly crackling with activity. Even seemingly innocuous questions, sure to elicit canned responses perfected over half a century of interviews, yield eloquent run-on sentences that jolt forward like a runaway train. The destination is often impossible to predict but, like his lyrics, the words are caustic, hilarious, cynical, hopeful and warm.

I love The Beatles. I love Star Wars. But, if you were to combine the two of them, would the result be good or bad? The answer? Pretty Good! Never has a random album matched up with a movie worked so well since Pink Floyd and Wizard of Oz. The band, Palette Swap Ninja, have created this parody album of The Beatles work using Star Wars as the reference.
This has been a project five years in the making, and it's done just in time for Star Wars' 40th anniversary and the Sgt. Peppers Album's 50th anniversary. This new album takes the original tracks of Sgt. Pepper and tells the story of Star Wars from beginning to end. Starting with "Sgt.

What makes a truly remarkable non-fiction motion picture? Is it a captivating central figure? Is it the density with which the filmmaker delves into the picture’s biographical or sociological center? Or is it simply the filmmaker’s ability to make an engaging film aesthetically?
That’s the root question when discussing the latest film from director Barnaby Clay, entitled Shot! The Psycho-Spiritual Mantra of Rock.
The Rock in the film’s title isn’t so much rock and roll music, although that’s clearly a major player within the film. Instead Clay’s picture shines a light on an unsung icon with quite an interesting cross-sectional view of music history. A career spanning pre-glam psychedelica all the way into the new millennium, photographer Mick Rock has lensed artists like David Bowie and Queen, all while evolving into a poet of sorts.

Three New Movies May Have Trouble Making Much of a Mark
After a couple impressive March weekends with one new box office record, and a couple impressive openings, we’re now into April, and of the new movies, there just doesn’t seem like anything can defeat last week’s powerful duo of DreamWorks Animation’s The Boss Baby--which exceeded all predictions with $49 million, taking the top spot from Beauty and the Beast. Ghost in the Shell didn’t even do as well as I thought it may, opening with just $19 million, those late reviews helping to kill its weekend.

After a couple impressive March weekends with one new box office record, and a couple impressive openings, we’re now into April, and of the new movies, there just doesn’t seem like anything can defeat last week’s powerful duo of DreamWorks Animation’s The Boss Baby--which exceeded all predictions with $49 million, taking the top spot from Beauty and the Beast. Ghost in the Shell didn’t even do as well as I thought it may, opening with just $19 million, those late reviews helping to kill its weekend.

Nearly 50 years ago, Mick Rock conducted one of his first photo sessions with former Pink Floyd frontman Syd Barrett. Within a couple of years, he was documenting the advent of glam rock, and shooting iconic portraits of David Bowie, Lou Reed and Iggy Pop – including the dynamic cover shots that graces Transformer and Raw Power LPs, respectively. Over the years, he's shot Queen, Blondie, Mötley Crüe, the Sex Pistols, Snoop Dogg, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and many others, as well as publishing several books that demonstrate why he has one...

Noah Hawley might have superpowers. After successfully shepherding the adaptation of a beloved film by perhaps the most accomplished and eclectic team of filmmakers from the past thirty years, he decided to tackle a C-list X-Men property. Just like Fargo, the comic character Legion comes with its own baggage and a fiercely devoted fan base that would be ready to go berserk like Wolverine if not handled with care. Factor in a superhero entertainment landscape that’s nearly been milked dry of original takes, and the prospect of creating a new X-Men adjacent TV series seems daunting. Yet Hawley was able to create a show that is spellbinding, mind-bending, and visually inventive, using the fragile mental state...

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for the “Legion” Season 1 finale, Episode 8, “Chapter 8.”]
Let me first say this: If you stopped watching “Legion” as soon as the credits ran, start it back up and keep going. There’s a scene midway through that establishes one helluva cliffhanger compared to Farouk driving out of the woods: David and Syd stand outside on the Summerland deck, looking out at the night sky, when a little robotic orb appears floating in front of them. “Is that one of Cary’s?” David asks, right before he’s scanned and sucked inside the Magic 8-Ball-lookin’ device. Syd runs inside for help as David screams…and that’s how Season 1 ends.
Now then, back to the faux ending: After Aubrey Plaza’s performance as Farouk — a.k.a. The Shadow King, a.a.k.a., That Big Fat Thing With Yellow Eyes, a.a.a.k.a. The Primary Antagonist of Season 1 Who Was Finally Expelled From David’s...
