the Jonas Brothers hit the ultimate home run when they opened their 2023 North American trek, simply called The Tour, with two sold-out shows at Yankee Stadium in August.But for another local sibling act that has been opening for the JoBros — Lawrence, fronted by Clyde Lawrence and his younger sister Gracie — there were mixed emotions about making their stadium debut at the home of the Bronx Bombers.“It was definitely pretty crazy to play a New York staple like that,” Gracie told The Post. “On the other hand, we are diehard Mets fan, so it felt borderline wrong.”Still, the Manhattan natives were able to put aside their Big Apple baseball allegiances — at least for two nights — to set the stage for the “Sucker” trio.“I mean, not only is it such a famous venue and such a big deal as New Yorkers, but with it also being the first shows of the tour and by far the biggest crowds we’d ever played to … it felt like the first day of school times a million or something,” said Clyde.Following two nights at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, Clyde, Gracie and the rest of their soul-pop octet — which just released the new single “23” — will be rounding back to home base for the final US date on the Jonas Brothers tour Saturday at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.“It’s gonna be awesome,” said Clyde.
‘The Boys In The Boat’ Producer Grant Heslov Says He & Director George Clooney Worried Their Stars Couldn’t Row To Save Their Lives – Contenders Film L.A.

The biggest story of the 1936 summer Olympics in Berlin was Black track and field star Jesse Owens winning four gold medals and putting the lie to Adolf Hitler’s theories of race supremacy. A less-heralded U.S. gold medal triumph over host country Nazi Germany glides onto screens this Christmas with The Boys in the Boat from MGM Amazon Studios, directed by George Clooney.
It was a technically grueling, on-the-water shoot with a group of young actors who had to learn the sport from scratch, Clooney’s longtime producing partner, Grant Heslov, said Saturday during a panel at Deadline’s Contenders Film Los Angeles event. At one point they feared they had made a terrible mistake, Heslov said in conversation alongside the movie’s editor, Tanya Swerling.
“So we cast these guys and we hired them for an extra three months to train — a solid three months of real rowing training with Olympic rowing coaches, the whole nine yards, two sessions a day, and on and on,” Heslov said. “So they’ve been training for maybe a month and a half, and George and I finally show up to the training facility … and we go out on these little boats, we watch them row and we look at each other. And we’re like, ‘Oh, [expletive], these kids are never going to get this right.’ I mean, we were worried.”
By the time filming started, however, “They were pretty good,” said the Oscar Best Picture winner for 2012’s Argo.
