Maroon 5’s new video inspired by iconic 1986 MTV clip

Travis Schneider

Maroon 5‘s new video for their single “All Night” features Adam Levine‘s wife Behati Prinsloo fronting the band, while Adam is relegated to a sideman role and the rest of the guys stand behind her. Maroon 5 guitarist James Valentine explains that the video is a takeoff of an iconic MTV video from 1986.

“It was kind of loosely inspired by ‘Addicted to Love‘ by Robert Palmer, except … y’know, Robert Palmer of course was surrounded by these beautiful women,” James tells ABC Audio.

In the original video, Palmer, wearing a suit, sings in front of a band of models, all identically dressed in black dresses, with identical hairstyles and heavy glam makeup, playing white instruments.

“We took Behati and we put her in front of the band and we put Adam on the saxophone,” James says. “So she gets to be the lead singer for the day. So it was really fun and we’re in these matching suits behind her. And in a lot of ways, it’s a very classic sort of ’80s MTV performance video.”

As for Behati’s skills as a frontwoman, James laughs, “I think she was born to do it!”

The original “Addicted to Love” video was so impactful that Palmer used the same concept for three more videos. Plus, Shania Twain parodied it for her video for “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” and artists ranging from “Weird Al” Yankovic to Shakira to Paula Abdul all spoofed it. It was also parodied in the movie Love Actually.

Music notes: Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift and more

Ariana Grande was “crying” on Thursday — her 32nd birthday — over a video some of her fan accounts put together: a compilation of clips of Ari as a little girl, along with a photo montage of fans, set to her song “Twilight Zone.” She commented on the post, “oh my heart i am crying no[w] you beautiful beings ! ! ! thank you soo much for taking the time to make this, for your love and for being such a beautiful part of my life … you all are a tremendous gift and i will love you always, always, always.”

More videos have surfaced of the night Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spent together at a bar in Nashville, where Travis co-hosted his annual Tight End University summit for NFL tight ends. In a TikTok, the couple can be seen dancing to a remix of Taylor’s hit “Shake It Off,” singing the song’s lyrics to each other while Taylor runs her fingers through Travis’ hair. The following night, Taylor sang the same song during a Tight Ends & Friends charity concert; the NFL has posted a few pictures of the moment, with Travis commenting “Turn me up Tay Tay!!!”

The Weeknd has set a new record: He’s now the male solo artist who’s played the most dates at LA’s SoFi Stadium, with seven sold-out dates on his current After Hours Til Dawn tour.

Brad Pitt’s Los Angeles home burglarized: Law enforcement sources

Brad Pitt‘s Los Angeles home was ransacked by burglars Wednesday night, law enforcement sources told ABC News.

Officers responded to the home in the Los Feliz area around 10:30 p.m. PT. Three suspects had jumped over a fence to gain entry to the yard, then broke in through a front window, sources said.

The home was “ransacked,” with an unknown number of items taken, according to police. Police are investigating and will utilize any surveillance video from the home and the area.

The LAPD did not officially confirm the occupant of the home, but sources confirmed to ABC News that it was Pitt’s residence.

It’s unclear if the star was targeted or if, as is often the case, it was just another pricey home that was hit that happened to be his, sources said.

The actor was not home at the time; he has been publicly on the road promoting the new movie F1.

ABC News has reached out to his representative for comment.

Maroon 5 teases ‘new frontwoman’

Hugh Lippe

It appears as though Adam Levine may be giving up the spotlight — temporarily.

On Instagram Wednesday, he wrote, “Maroon 5 has a new front WOMAN…,” and revealed that the video for their new song “All Night” would be arriving at midnight Friday.

The post features clips of Adam playing the saxophone on the set of the video as the rest of the band members play in the background. The person with the microphone, however, is a brunette woman in a skintight red dress, red heels and a red hat. Since the woman’s face is obscured, you can’t tell who it is.

However, considering that Adam’s wife Behati Prinsloo just happens to be a beautiful model who’s already appeared in two previous Maroon 5 videos — “Girls Like You” and “Middle Ground” — it’s possible that she’s the mystery singer.

Even though Adam is shown playing the sax in the video, the part on the song was actually played by his father, Fred Levine.

“All Night” is from Maroon 5’s upcoming album Love Is Like, which is due out on Aug. 15.

During Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour last year, Taylor was welcomed to New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome by a 140-foot long inflatable friendship bracelet that was hung outside the stadium. Now, it’s become the ultimate souvenir of the tour: Taylor just bought it.

According to the agenda of the Thursday board meeting held by the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District, the sale to Firefly Entertainments, Inc. has been approved, at a cost of $13,000, with Firefly Entertainments, Inc. also footing the bill for the pickup, shipment and delivery of the bracelet. According to Nola.com, Firefly is Taylor’s personal services company.

Nola.com reports the idea for the inflatable bracelet came from Abby Jones, an executive at ASM, the company that manages the Superdome. She tapped a Miami-based artist named Kolodny, who specializes in inflatables, to create the piece, which spelled out “Taylor Swift The Eras Tour.”

The bracelet proved to be so popular that the Superdome even lent it to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis and the Rogers Centre in Toronto for the Eras Tour shows there.

Anna Wintour has announced a new role opening up at Vogue.

On Thursday, Good Morning America confirmed that the longtime editor-in-chief is searching for a new head of editorial content at Vogue U.S.

Wintour, 75, who became editor-in-chief of Vogue in 1988, will continue in her role as chief content officer for Condé Nast and global editorial director at Vogue.

The news came as reports surfaced about Wintour stepping down as editor-in-chief of the magazine.

Vogue assured that she will still remain in her role, in which she oversees Condé Nast brands. They include Wired, Vanity Fair, GQ, AD, Condé Nast Traveler, Glamour, Bon Appétit, Tatler, World of Interiors, Allure and others, with the exception of The New Yorker.

In 2020, Wintour was named as Condé Nast’s first-ever global chief content officer, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The move was part of a revamp at the company, which also named Christiane Mack as chief content operations officer, and appointed three global editorial directors for AD, Condé Nast Traveler and GQ, according to a report from Deadline at the time.

Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch said in a statement to Deadline at the time that Wintour’s appointment to global chief content officer “represents a pivotal moment” for the company “as her ability to stay ahead in connecting with new audiences, while cultivating and mentoring some of today’s brightest talent in the industry, has made her one of media’s most distinguished executives.”

Recently, Wintour organized the star-studded 2025 Met Gala. The theme for the event was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”

Now that Ariana Grande has been nominated for an Oscar, shouldn’t she be able to vote on them?

She’s one of 534 people who have just been “invited to membership” by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences this year. If she accepts, she’ll get to vote on who wins Academy Awards in the future. She was invited as an actor, not as a musician, because that’s the category in which she was nominated. All the invitees have “distinguished themselves by their contributions to motion pictures.”

In the Music category, new invitees include Brandi Carlile and producer Andrew Watt, who were Oscar-nominated for co-writing “Never Too Late” with Elton John, for the music legend’s Disney+ documentary of the same name.

In addition to his work with Elton, Watt co-wrote and co-produced most of the songs on Lady Gaga‘s latest album, Mayhem. He’s also worked with The Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam, Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Justin Bieber and many more.

If all 534 invitees accept the invitation, that will bring the academy’s membership up to 11,120, with voting members numbering 10,143. The academy’s membership would then comprise 35% women, 22% from underrepresented communities and 21% international.

Jason Bateman, Jude Law series ‘Black Rabbit’ gets Netflix release date

Netflix

Jason Bateman‘s upcoming limited series with Jude Law now has a release date.

The upcoming New York City-set drama Black Rabbit will arrive Sept. 18 on Netflix.

Black Rabbit follows brothers who learn how far family and the pursuit of success can push a person to the edge. Law stars as Jake, the owner of a restaurant and VIP lounge called The Black Rabbit. The place is poised to be the hottest spot in the city. When his brother Vince, played by Bateman, unexpectedly returns to the business, trouble follows.

“Black Rabbit is a propulsive thrill ride and character examination about the way an unbreakable bond between two brothers can shatter their world and everything in its orbit,” according to an official description from Netflix.

In addition to starring in the show, Bateman also directed its first two episodes. His Ozark co-star Laura Linney directed the third and fourth episodes of the series.

“It’s really about these brothers who love each other but don’t match — one’s a screw-up, and the other is much more buttoned up,” Bateman told Netflix. “Everybody can relate to that. Everybody’s either got a sibling, or a friendship where you love being with one another, but it’s kind of dangerous; where that person usually gets you in trouble, but they’re really exciting to be around.”

Cleopatra Coleman, Dagmara Dominczyk, Troy Kotsur and Odessa Young also star in the upcoming limited series.
