It “celebrates the life of Princess Diana and the light of her legacy which continues to shine across the world” and is the “first historical musical event of its kind (which) brings us face to face with one of the most famous figures. more convincing, “according to the streaming giant.

In one song, Jeanna de Waal as Diana sings about the choice of happiness and a whole new beginning. We know it was short lived, but it seems triumphant.

It starts broadcasting on Friday.

“Britney vs. Spears”

Another day another Britney Spears documentary.

This one sparked the #FreeBritney movement – in part because it contains alleged text messages from the pop star herself as well as a conversation with the controversial Sam Lufti, who many have blamed, in part, on his family. seeking guardianship.

“Britney vs. Spears” is now streaming on Netflix.

“The Many Saints of Newark”

But will he sing like “The Sopranos”?

That’s the question regarding this prequel to the popular HBO series, which starred the late James Gandolfini.

His son, Michael Gandolfini, plays the younger version of Tony Soprano, the character his father made famous. CNN resident critic Brian Lowry said it “turns out to be a believable and rewarding film.”

“The Many Saints of Newark” begins airing on HBO Max (owned by CNN’s parent company) Friday, the same day it hits theaters.

Two things to listen to

The news earlier this year that Tony Bennett had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease sparked a wave of sadness.

But the legendary singer is determined to give us wonderful art to help us smile through tears.

Her second collaborative album with Lady Gaga, “Love for Sale”, is released on Friday. The pair are magic together.

Speaking of magic, Brandi Carlile aims to continue her Grammy winning streak with her new album, titled “In These Silent Days”.
There was a lot of buzz around him, fueled in part by the music video for the single “Right on Time”, which was directed by “Friends” star Courteney Cox.

The new album comes out on Friday.

One thing to say

A teaser for season two of “Bridgerton” has dropped, and while there is some excitement for the return of the Netflix period drama Regency, I can’t help but cry a little.

Indeed, while the new season will revolve around the love life of Viscount Anthony Bridgerton, played by Jonathan Bailey, he will miss his best friend, Simon Bassett, Duke of Hastings, played by Regé-Jean Page.

Shonda Rhimes let us know some time ago. The series, of course, is bigger than a single character. But if you’re reading this, Mrs. Rhimes, we won’t be sorry if Simon shows up for a scene or two… or more. Please.

Something to sip

This sketch represents the time when R. Kelly's guilty verdict was delivered in New York on September 27.
The guilty verdict for singer R. Kelly was long overdue.
There had been jokes for decades about Kelly’s alleged predilection for young girls – and even the vilification of those who came forward to accuse her.

The women and girls were labeled as “quick”, “money hungry”, “cunning” and some words that I cannot print here.

Nonetheless, women – especially black women – refused to stop seeking justice over #MeToo’s calculation.

Now Kelly faces decades behind bars after being convicted in New York on charges of racketeering, child sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.

It won’t change what happened, but I’m sure it sounds like a rationale for some.
