July 4, Wireless Festival and Kendrick Lamar's hip-hop karaoke plus the rest of today's breaking pop culture as it happened

Guardian - Fri, 04/07/2014 - 15:54
  • It was Independence Day.
  • We featured André-3000 as Jimi Hendrix, a Madonna teaser and Paris Hilton writhing on a bed of diamonds.
  • #ReviewAnything returned you tweeted what you want us to review to @guideguardian.

5.19pm BST

As our independence day blog draws to a close here is a little run down of what we've learned today, finished off by Bill Pullman's Independence Day speech. It is quite emotional, even if it is ridiculous.

3.53pm BST

You've got to hand it to Paris for really sticking to what she's good at: being incredibly rich. Even when she's turning her endless talents to pop-dance music, she makes sure you know exactly how rich she is by lounging around on a bed of crystals for the cover of her new single, Come Alive. It's dropping next week and according to her tweet it looks like it's styled after Katie Price and Peter Andre's wedding. Ultimate richness.

#ReviewAnything is coming up in just a minute

but until then, here's a mighty new Disclosure remix of Usher's Good Kisser.

1.12pm BST

1// A snippet of a new Madonna song called Messiah, hot off Instagram. It took me about 15 minutes to figure out what it reminded me of but it's definitely the strings in Kylie's Confide In Me.

12.23pm BST

It's not just us regular people that are terrible at karaoke. Karaoke makes everyone sound awful, even those with an actual range or a flow. Like bucket hats or panel shows, it doesn't make anyone look good.

11.15am BST

The trailer for John Ridley's Hendrix biopic Jimi: All Is By My Side is finally here, in which you can see André-3000 from Outkast in a fantastic Afro, heavy-fretting his way around the London gig circuit and between two love interests with excellent fringes (Hayley Atwell and Imogen Poots). Cue posh girl accents, dandy shirts, and some expertly flowery one-liners. It hits UK cinemas on September 26.

10.51am BST

I'm not one to objectify muscly men dressed as superheroes but here is a first-look photo of Henry Cavill as Superman from Zach Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Let's hope those anticipation levels last until it comes out all the way over in 2016.

10.12am BST

Hi hi hi. It's K-Hutch here at the Guide Daily controls as all pop culture breaks loose throughout the day.

First up, happy Fourth of July to all our American friends. To celebrate in typical Guide style, here's a freaky reworking of the Star Spangled Banner by Hyperdub's spatially aware electronic producer, Fatima Al Qadiri, and her next level haunt-house constructions. If that doesn't make any sense to you, have another coffee and then listen.
