Måneskin disqualified from the Eurovision Song Contest, it has been reported.The glam-rock group – fronted by Damiano David – won the annual music competition for Italy last year after scoring 524 points with their hit track ‘Zitti E Buoni’.However, their victory was soon overshadowed by accusations that David had been caught on camera snorting cocaine off a table in the green room. The singer denied the claims and subsequently passed a voluntary drug test.Måneskin have since enjoyed huge success.
Earlier this year, they were nominated for two BRIT Awards (Best International Group and International Song Of The Year) and joined forces with Iggy Pop on a new version of their song ‘I Wanna Be Your Slave’. In June 2021, the group achieved two simultaneous UK top 10 singles with ‘Beggin” and the original recording of ‘…Slave’.Last month saw Måneskin make their Coachella debut ahead of scheduled main stage appearances at this year’s Reading & Leeds.
Back in January, they appeared as the musical guests on Saturday Night Live for the first time.In a new interview with the BBC, French journalist/presenter Stéphane Bern claimed that he received a call from Macron while commentating on Eurovision 2021. France’s entry, Barbara Pravi, was in second place at the time as the allegations of drug use on David’s part emerged.“It was a big, big mess,” Bern remembered.

It seems like the Cannes Market continues to surprise us with each new announcement. French director Jacques Audiard‘s (“Rust & Bone“) next film has been officially announced and you’re likely going to do a double-take when learning what it’s about.
Megalopolis, featuring Adam Driver, Nathalie Emmanuel, Forest Whitaker, Laurence Fishburne and Jon Voight.Coppola, whose last film was 2011 horror Twixt, is self-funding the film with a budget at just under $100million. He’ll both write and direct the project.A synopsis reads: “The fate of Rome haunts a modern world unable to solve its own social problems in this epic story of political ambition, genius and conflicted love.”Coppola previously discussed financing the project with The Hollywood Reporter, saying: “There’s a certain way everyone thinks a film should be, and it rubs against the grain if you have another idea.
Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorIt’s safe to say that although Italian rock quartet Maneskin were pretty huge in their home country and parts of Europe when they took the Eurovision stage last year, their name recognition and popularity exploded when they won the coveted prize with their song “Zitti E Buoni.” Over the past year, the group has seen their streams, sales and tour itineraries soar, appeared on “Saturday Night Live” and at the Coachella festival — and perhaps most impressive of all, began working with Max Martin, the most successful songwriter-producer of the past 25 years (from Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys to Katy Perry to the Weeknd and Taylor Swift), on their next album.Although the group premiere a new, anti-Putin song called “Gasoline” at Coachella last month, the first fruit of the new partnership arrives tonight: the single “Supermodel,” which drops tonight. While Martin started off as a singer in a hard rock band, this is the first time in many years he’s worked with one — and it’s hard not to notice that the song’s riff owes more than a little to Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” “Yeeepppp,” bassist Victoria De Angelis acknowledges coyly.
Given that Francis Ford Coppola‘s independently-financed $100 million-plus budgeted passion project film “Megalopolis,” is one he’s been talking about for over two decades at least—a project he once abandoned and only recently came back to —when news arrived that Oscar Isaac had ultimately passed on the lead role, it made lots of cinephiles dying to see the project very nervous. Well, chalk that set back up to a blip as the director of “The Godfather” trilogy and “Apocalypse Now” has not only found a new leading man, but a whole new supporting cast as well.
More than 20 years in the making, Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis has set its star cast. Adam Driver, Forest Whitaker, Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones and Fast X), Jon Voight and Laurence Fishburne have been set for the main roles. Fishburne began his career with Coppola at the tender age of 14 in Apocalypse Now. Legend has it he was of legal age when the film got released.
