In the summer of 1971, a sibling folk duo attended Paul Simon’s songwriting class at NYU and then found themselves singing backup on There Goes Rhymin’ Simon. More than 50 years later — and just after Soccer Mommy cited them as an influence on her recent album — the Roches will revisit those early years on Kin Ya See That Sun, a new archival collection out Oct. 21.
Kin Ya contains unreleased live recordings and outtakes from Terre and her late sister Maggie, who began as a duo before their sister Suzzy joined in the late Seventies.

Paramount Network is to be lauded for its recent documentary series “Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story.” Jay Z produced this critically acclaimed in-depth exploration of the background and story of the murder that ignited the Black Lives Matter movement. Martin was just 17 when he was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch member in the Sanford, Florida community on February 26, 2012. He had been there with his father to visit a family friend. George Zimmerman was acquitted of a second-degree murder charge after claiming he shot Martin in self-defense.

Jesse Ventura, the former professional wrestler and 38th Governor of Minnesota, appeared in court Tuesday for his defamation lawsuit against slain former Navy Seal and author Chris Kyle.
Jesse Ventura Sues 'American Sniper' Chris Kyle
In his suit, which was filed when Kyle was still alive in 2012, Ventura claims that Kyle fabricated a story about him in his bestseller American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History, reported the Star Tribune. The story in question indicates that Ventura made an insensitive remark about servicemen, which Kyle responded to with a punch to the sometime-actor’s face.
“You deserve to lose a few,” Kyle quoted a man named “Scruff Face” as saying in a bar. After hearing the remark, Kyle says he punched “Scruff Face,” knocking him to the ground. Though he’d used discretion in the book, Kyle went on to...

Glenn Beck's conspiracy theory about the Boston Marathon bombing is making waves this week. He claims that there is a Saudi connection to the attack on April 15 despite those claims already being debunked by the Department of Homeland Security.
Saudi national Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi was initially a suspect of the bombings after he was reportedly in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Alharbi was later dropped as a suspect, but he is still being deported because his United States visa has expired. Beck claims there is a deeper conspiracy going on here.
You can watch Beck's claims above. "The burden of proof is on the federal government, and so far they have not presented one shred of evidence that refutes what the Blaze has reported," he says.

Speculation over what happened the night of February 26 when 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was tragically shot dead continues to run rampant. On Wednesday, police surveillance video emerged showing the gunman, George Zimmerman, in handcuffs. The fact that he wasn't charged with a crime that night and was release has fueled a public outcry for justice.
Among the outraged are rappers Killer Mike and Mobb Deep's Prodigy, who both appeared on Wednesday's "RapFix Live" to discuss Trayvon's death.
Killer Mike called the shooting "an assassination." "He was killed by a terrorist; there is no other way to put it," Mike said, as he and "RapFix" host Sway wore...

When Dustin Lance Black saw a list of Hollywood producer Brian Grazer’s interests for potential films, he called his agent. “I saw ‘Hoover’ and I wasn’t sure if they meant the FBI director, the president, or the vacuum cleaner company,” he says, adding that he was hoping it was referring to the controversial “G-man” J. Edgar Hoover. (It was.)
Starting in 2009, Mr. Black met with former FBI agents, went to Washington and read everything he could about Hoover.

Scott Turow is seeing another of his best sellers adapted by television, but he admits he doesn't watch many law-and-order series.
The author of such best sellers as "Presumed Innocent," "The Burden of Proof" and "Reversible Errors" tells Zap2it, "Somebody may beat me with a wet noodle for this, but the truth of the matter is that I don't watch any show every week. I catch them periodically. I happen to be a big viewer of TNT because I do watch basketball, so I saw that [the law show] 'Franklin & Bash' was heavily advertised.
"My mother, may she rest in peace, loved 'Law & Order'," Turow adds of another element of TNT's lineup, "so I saw an enormous amount of that show when I visited her. People talk about 'The Good Wife,' and it's set here in Chicago, so I've certainly seen that. But can I tell you that I've seen...

Chicago – The DVD Round-Up has traveled the globe this week to bring you a diverse slate of under-the-radar titles received in the HollywoodChicago.com offices this holiday season. With so many major releases this time of year, it’s hard to cover everything, but we wanted to make sure you knew these were out there in case you have a gift card burning a hole in your pocket.
One quick note: We don’t usually inject opinion into the DVD Round-Up. It’s a recurring column merely designed for informational purposes regarding some lower profile titles new on shelves. We’d like to make a rare exception for “Sita Sings the Blues,” a simply wonderful animated film that we only wish we had more time to spotlight but that we wanted to make sure you knew was available before the end of the year. Don’t just go rent it.
