Andre 3000’s Jimi Hendrix Biopic Can’t Use Any Jimi Hendrix Songs

Oops! Might have been a good idea to settle the legality of using Jimi Hendrix songs before launching into production on a Hendrix biopic , but anyway: The filmmakers behind the Andre Benjamin-starring ’60s-set pic announce that the rapper-actor will instead cover a greatest hits of period rock, including ditties by the Beatles, for the flick. “The film – set in London in 1966 and 1967 – will include Benjamin’s new versions of covers that Hendrix performed during those years, shortly before the release of his landmark debut, Are You Experienced ,” reports Rolling Stone. “Audiences will see Benjamin singing ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ (which Hendrix famously performed in a London club with members of the Beatles in the audience), ‘Wild Thing,’ ‘Hound Dog,’ Muddy Waters’ ‘Mannish Boy’ and Elmore James’ ‘Bleeding Heart,’ plus two songs, ‘Future Trip’ and ‘Driving South,’ that Hendrix played as a backup musician for Curtis Knight and the Squires.” [ Rolling Stone ]

‘Fringe’ Renewed For Fifth And Final Season

Co-creator and executive producer J.J. Abrams promises fans a ‘wild and thrilling’ conclusion. By Kara Warner Jasika Nicole, Joshua Jackson and John Noble in “Fringe” Photo: Liane Hentscher/FOX Despite the many rumors of cancellation, genre favorite TV series “Fringe” has been renewed for a fifth and final season. The series’ dedicated fans should rejoice at the news of the 13-episode order, which the network announced Thursday (April 26). “We are thrilled and beyond grateful that Fox — and our fans — have made the impossible possible: ‘Fringe’ will continue into a fifth season that will allow the series to conclude in a wild and thrilling way,” co-creator and executive producer J.J. Abrams said in a statement. “All of us at Bad Robot are forever indebted to our viewers and the amazingly supportive Fox network for allowing the adventures of Fringe Division to not only continue, but to resolve in a way that perfectly fits the show.” ” ‘Fringe’ is a remarkably creative series that has set the bar as one of television’s most imaginative dramas. Bringing it back for a final 13 allows us to provide the climactic conclusion that its passionate and loyal fans deserve,” Kevin Reilly, president of entertainment for Fox Broadcasting Company, said of the renewal. “The amazing work the producers, writers and the incredibly talented cast and crew have delivered the last four seasons has literally been out of this world. Although the end is bittersweet, it’s going to be a very exciting final chapter.” The news should be very welcome to the show’s loyal fanbase, which was put on cancellation alert earlier this year when Reilly admitted to reporters that the show does not make the network any money. Star Joshua Jackson told MTV News earlier this year that no matter how the show ends, he wants to please the fans who’ve stuck with the show and go out with a real ending, not a cliffhanger. “The only thing that would piss me off about being canceled is if we brought people along for all these years — and they’ve been so dedicated and really stuck with the show — and we didn’t finish it up,” he said. “Whatever the future of the show is going to be … the most important thing is that they have enough time to finish the story.” What do you hope happens in the final season of “Fringe”?

No Surprise On ‘American Idol’: Elise Testone Exits

Perpetual cellar-dweller joined in bottom three by Hollie Cavanagh and Skylar Laine. By Adam Graham Elise Testone on “American Idol” Photo: Fox Another one bit the dust, but this one wasn’t hard to see coming. After two weeks of shocking elimination episodes, “American Idol” took a break from the surprises Thursday (April 26), sending perpetual bottom-dweller Elise Testone home. Testone, the 28-year-old from Charleston, South Carolina, had faced elimination so many times that “Idol” mentor Jimmy Iovine joked she had a “vacation home” in the bottom three. Testone came up on the short end of the reported 58 million votes cast following Wednesday’s performance episode, where she took on Queen’s “I Want It All” and a very wordy rendition of Jimi Hendrix’s “Bold as Love.” Following the Hendrix song, Randy Jackson told her it “wasn’t the right song for this time in the competition,” and on Thursday’s show, Iovine called Testone “a great singer who makes bad choices.” He called “Bold as Love” a “double down on bad decisions.” Testone, the oldest of this season’s finalists, sang Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” during her exit. It was one of her signature songs of the season. Testone was joined in the bottom three Thursday by Hollie Cavanagh and Skylar Laine. Laine was sent back to safety immediately, leaving Testone and Cavanagh to await their fate. According to host Ryan Seacrest, the 58 million votes cast were 10 million more than the number of votes cast at this point in the season last year. Queen Extravaganza, an official Queen tribute band, opened the show with a performance of “Somebody to Love.” The episode also saw performances from season 10 “Idol” contestant Stefano Langone — who now goes simply by Stefano — who did his debut single “I’m on a Roll,” and Katy Perry, who in a taped performance did a military-themed “Part of Me.” What did you think of “Idol” on Thursday? Let us know in the comments! Get your “Idol” fix on MTV News’ “American Idol” page , where you’ll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.
