Billie Joe Armstrong Performs With Sons

Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day performed “I Think We’re Alone Now” with his sons Joey and Jakob on The Late Late Show.  He played guitar and sang inside a home studio on Tuesday while his sons handled the drums and bass.  The song was first performed by Tommy James & The Shondells.  Armstrong has covered the song before plus other tracks such as “Manic Monday” by The Bangles and “War Stories” by Starjets on his No Fun Mondays YouTube series.  Armstrong also recently covered “That Thing You Do!” by the late Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne who died in April at the age of 52 from complications related to COVID-19.  The rockstar also discussed how his fellow Green Day members Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool are doing at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.  “Mike is basically becoming like a farmer right now. He’s been growing his own vegetables, but he’s also organizing his record collection. Trey has just been hanging out with his wife Sarah and their baby Mickey and trying to play drums as much as he can,” Armstrong said.  See the video HERE

New Academy Rules

Films released only on streaming services in 2020 will be eligible to be nominated for the 93rd Oscars, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Tuesday.  The new rule is in effect only for films competing in the 2021 Oscar ceremony.  Previous rules required films to premiere in theaters for at least seven days and at least three showtimes per day in order to be eligible for the Oscars. Netflix films such as Roma and The Irishman, as well as other independent films, only qualified in previous award seasons because they played in theaters before streaming.  But the closure of movie theaters due to the coronavirus pandemic poses a new scenario for the Academy. The major studio film Trolls World Tour premiered on video on demand, and Universal has set Judd Apatow’s The King of Staten Island for a June 12 streaming release.  The new rules stipulate that if a theatrical release had been planned, but the film premiered on streaming instead due to COVID-19, the film could still qualify for nominations. The film also must be made available to Academy voters via their private streaming site within 60 days of release, and should meet all other eligibility requirements.  Furthermore, previous requirements mandated all eligible movies to have Los Angeles theatrical playdates. The Academy expanded eligible cities to include New York City, Chicago, the San Francisco Bay Area, Miami and Atlanta once theaters reopen.  Typically, studios schedule their award-hopeful movies for fall releases. It’s possible studios will start releasing movies to theaters by the fall, but only some states, such as Georgia and Texas, have begun reopening theaters under new guidelines.  The Oscars ceremony is scheduled to air Feb. 21 on ABC.

Harrison Ford In Trouble With The FAA Again

Harrison Ford is being investigated for making an error while operating a plane this week in California.  The actor, an avid flyer, apparently landed at the Hawthorne Airport on Friday in Southern California when he began traveling from the runway to the taxiway. According to audio obtained by TMZ, Ford failed to follow a tower operator’s direction to “hold short” on the runway due to “traffic.”  Based on the audio, it appears the actor did not hear the direction. He began to cross the runway anyway, prompting the operator to scold him for not following his instructions.  “Get across that runway now! I told you to hold short! You need to listen up,” the operator says.  “Excuse me, sir, I thought exactly the opposite. I’m terribly sorry,” Ford responded immediately.  TMZ reported that there was no risk of a crash. The other plane was reportedly 3,600 feet from Ford’s aircraft.  TMZ claims an official for the Federal Aviation Administration said the incident is now under investigation. Ford’s rep told the outlet that he “misheard” the operator’s instruction and apologized right away.  Ford was in the middle of getting his license updated so that he can participate in relief efforts.

Nicole Kidman’s Pet Name For Keith Urban

Nicole Kidman married Keith Urban in 2006 and has developed a nickname for him that she said suits his personality.  In a recent interview with WSJ. Magazine, she revealed that she calls Urban “mellow muso.”  Muso being a term meaning musician in Australia, Kidman said the name describes him well, per Entertainment Tonight.  “He’s pretty much the flip side of neurotic,” said Kidman, later noting that her hubby is the first person she’d call during an emergency.  She said her family is her priority and will “pass on films” if the timing is wrong. Kidman frequently chooses projects that shoot on the East Coast and during the summer when the kids aren’t in school.  “We have a system worked out to keep the family together,” she explained. “When Keith’s not touring, it’s much easier. He’ll be on tour next year, and then I just don’t work as much. Literally — it will become imbalanced, and we will change it.”  She added: “We don’t have the answers, but the one thing we do know is that we will not jeopardize us.”

AMC Theatres Feuding With Universal

AMC Theatres will no longer play Universal films effective immediately after “unacceptable” comments were made from NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell on its decision to bypass a traditional theatrical release for Trolls World Tour and make it a digital exclusive.  In a new interview with the Wall Street Journal, Jeff Shell noted that Trolls World Tour succeeded their expectations, pulling in nearly $100 million in revenue through digital sales alone and more than five million copies sold.  As a result, Shell noted that as “soon as theaters reopen, we expect to release movies on both formats,” meaning some movies would continue with theatrical releases while others would go directly to digital retailers or possibly land on NBCUniversal’s new streaming service, Peacock. The move led to a lengthy statement from AMC Theatres chair-CEO Adam Aron, who claimed that Shell’s comments were “unacceptable.”  “It is disappointing to us, but Jeff’s comments as to Universal’s unilateral actions and intentions have left us with no choice,” Aron wrote. “Therefore, effectively immediately AMC will no longer play any Universal movies in any of our theatres in the United States, Europe or the Middle East.”  AMC Theatres is the largest cinema chain in the US, and losing access to its theaters is a devastating blow for Universal’s biggest upcoming films, including F9. The ninth installment in the Fast and Furious franchise was delayed from this year until April 2021, when Universal expected to give it a proper theatrical release. F9 is a movie that’s likely to generate close to $1 billion at the global box office, if not more. It seems unlikely that Universal will give up its share of that revenue, but Aron reiterated in his statement this is “not some hollow or ill-considered threat.

Get Paid To Binge Star Wars

EDsmart, a college-ranking website, is looking for a die-hard Star Wars fan to binge all 11 theatrical films from the Star Wars franchise, plus all episodes of the Disney Plus series The Mandalorian, for $1,000 plus a bunch of Star Wars swag and other prizes.  “Most of the world is struggling with self-isolation and not having a normal routine–like we’re all living on Tatooine with nothing to do except fix our vaporators on our moisture farm,” it says on the EDsmart website. “So, in light of all that’s going on out there and in our homes, we’ve decided to pay up to five Jedi, Sith, or Wookie $1,000 each to watch every Star Wars movie and The Mandalorian series.”  EDsmart calculated the amount of time for each show and move, which add up to just over 30 hours of galactic entertainment. Considering the $1,000 payout, the chosen candidate would be earning about $30 per hour for their binge-watching time. They will also be expected to live tweet or livestream their experience while tagging @edurefdesk or using the hashtag #edurefdesk.  Although this task can be done in two days, EDsmart notes on its website that the chosen candidate can have up to four days to complete it.  More information and the online application can be found on the EDsmart website.

GMA Report Caught With No Pants

An ABC News reporter committed a classic work-from-home faux pas when he was caught not wearing pants while delivering a report on live TV.  Will Reeve, son of late actor Christopher Reeve, appeared Tuesday morning on Good Morning America to deliver a report about pharmacies using drones to deliver drugs to patients.  At the end of the segment, the chryon at the bottom of the screen disappeared, revealing Reeve was only fully dressed on his top half.  Reeve, who operated his own camera while working from home, later clarified on Twitter that the segment did not offer a glimpse of his underwear, but rather a skimpy pair of workout shorts for the exercise he had been planning to do after his segment ended.  “Hope everyone got a much needed laugh,” he tweeted.  See the video HERE.

Mystery Poo-er Wanted

Governor Apologizes To Tupac Shakur

The governor of Kentucky personally called a resident named Tupac Shakur to apologize for using his unemployment claim as an example of a prank claim.  Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said during his Monday night news conference that “bad apples” have been using fake names to file for unemployment during the COVID-19 pandemic.  “We had somebody apply for unemployment for Tupac Shakur here in Kentucky,” Beshear said. “And that person may have thought they were being funny, they probably did. Except for the fact that because of them, we had to go through so many other claims.”  The claim was not a prank reference to the rapper who died in 1996, but rather a real claim from a Lexington resident named Tupac Malik Shakur, 46.  Shakur said he filed for unemployment March 13, after the restaurant where he works as a cook closed due to the coronavirus crisis. He said he was shocked to learn from the governor’s news conference that the reason his benefits haven’t been issued yet is because officials thought his name was a joke.  “I’m hurt, I’m really embarrassed and I’m shocked,” Shakur told the Lexington Herald-Leader on Monday. “He needs to apologize. That’s just my name.”  See the apology HERE.

How To Deal With A Boss Who Micromanages Your Work From Home

Huffington Post

First, try to understand why your boss is now a micromanager.

There are many reasons why your boss is behaving irrationally and is monitoring your performance more right now, said Lara Hogan, author of “Resilient Management” and former vice president of engineering at Kickstarter.

“They might be worried about their reputation and so they want to make sure their team is delivering; they might be worried about a deadline because they so crave certainty right now,” Hogan said, noting that neither scenario is a good reason for this behavior.

“Most managers are running on fear that they can’t control what’s going on, so they are trying to control productivity,” said Elaine Varelas, managing partner of human capital consulting firm Keystone Partners.

Accusing your boss of being a micromanager can put them on the defensive and make your conversation less productive, but open-ended questions can help you find out the source of your boss’ change in behavior. Hogan suggested what/why questions that don’t assume an answer, such as, “What, if anything, are you especially worried about right now?”

Once you understand their reasoning, frame your response in the language that they care about. Hogan said that could be like, “Hey, I know you really care about this deadline. Checking in this often is taking away my focus on the project, which is not going to help me hit this deadline. Maybe instead we can … ”

 

Try to suggest a new way of reporting to them.

How to discuss your manager’s micromanaging tendencies depends on your track record and your relationship. But if you can afford to be straightforward, Green said you can suggest what you want in a matter-of-fact way, like, “‘I know that working from home has been new for all of us, but now that we’ve been doing this for a few weeks, can we go back to more of the autonomy that we had when we were in the office, because I think I work more effectively that way … Can we say for the next week, we are going to change the … reporting system that we’re using? If it doesn’t work, we can address that.’”

Suggesting what you want as an experiment, rather than saying you want to change a system forever, may make it more likely to get your “yes,” Green said.

Coming in with a proposal to your manager, Green said, is also a good idea “because clearly their ideas and solutions have failed them so far.” The goal is to frame your concern as something that is taking away from your ability to do your job well.

Varelas said employees should also be proactive about keeping their micromanager informed. That could take the form of a written report that says “Here are the things I’ve done this week, here are the things I’ve brought forward, and maybe even here are a list of things I’d appreciate talking about in our one-on-one,” Varelas said.

If you have a shared calendar with your manager, keep it filled with your projects, so you can give your manager insight into what it is that you do and how they can help, Varelas said.

And if your boss is still asking to see you on video at all times even after you discuss your request, use bandwidth issues as an excuse.

“I don’t think that there’s an ethical issue with just saying, ‘My data plan is not supporting that,’” Green said.

 

How you tell your manager about this matters, too.

Consider the medium of how you usually bring up sensitive issues to your boss. That’s the medium you want to use with this. Green says people often hope these kinds of conversations can be done in an email, but she suggests a real-time conversation in which you can clarify what you are saying and have the context of tone.

“If you get an email from someone saying they feel micromanaged, it’s hard to not feel defensive by that, even if you’re pretty well-intentioned,” Green said. “A conversation is warmer and doesn’t feel quite as chilly.”

 

Don’t let their check-ins get under your skin.

Often the reason your boss has become a micromanager has nothing to do with your performance, so don’t let their unwanted check-ins change how you see your capabilities.

When you are feeling annoyed and frustrated by a micromanager’s surveillance, it can help to know that their actions are not usually about you, but are a poor reflection of their ability to manage.

“It’s not about you being untrustworthy or needing that intense management,” Green said. “Someone who micromanages, someone who asks for something as ridiculous as wanting to see you on video all day long, that is someone who is telling you they do not know how to manage. And that’s about them. That has nothing do with you.”
