Zach Galifianakis
After failing his last college course by one point at North Carolina State University, Zach Galifianakis moved to New York City. He got his start performing his brand of humour in the back of a hamburger joint in Times Square, graduating to doing stand-up in nightclubs and coffee houses across the city. While working as a busboy, he got his first acting job on the sitcom “Boston Common.” An eclectic career has followed.

Zach is most well-known from THE HANGOVER trilogy with additional credits including THE CAMPAIGN, DUE DATE, IT’S A FUNNY KIND OF STORY, DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS, INTO THE WILD and THE BEANIE BUBBLE. Feature animation credits include G-FORCE, RON’S GONE WRONG and most recently LILO AND STITCH.

He hosted the Emmy-winning internet talk show “Between Two Ferns” on which he interviewed such guests as President Barack Obama, Brad Pitt, Steve Carell, Natalie Portman, Conan O’Brien and Justin Bieber.

Zach recurred on season four of “Only Murders in the Building” and next up will be seen in the dark comedy thriller, THE GALLERIST, which will premiere at Sundance this year. He also recently completed production on the upcoming AMC series, THE AUDACITY, as well as the Taika Waititi pilot VERY YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN for FX as ‘Dr. Frankenstein.’

Internationally acclaimed, multi-platinum and award-winning artist, producer, musician and songwriter Charlie Puth today releases his latest single “Beat Yourself Up,” from his highly anticipated forthcoming studio album Whatever’s Clever!, out on March 27, 2206 [PRE-ORDER HERE].

“Beat Yourself Up” started as something I wanted to tell a friend.” Puth shares on writing “Beat Yourself Up” and its inspiration. “We’ve never been the heart-to-heart types, so I wrote it in a song instead. I wanted to tell him that even though he has made mistakes along the way, he shouldn’t be so hard on himself. That things will get better and he’s not alone. While writing it, I soon realized this wasn’t just for my friend but myself and so many others who can be hard on themselves. It’s a message to keep going and be kinder to yourself.”

Co-produced by Charlie Puth and BLOODPOP, “Beat Yourself Up” continues to set the scene for what is his most personal and explorative era yet and follows news of his biggest world tour to date, seeing Puth fill arenas across the globe this year.

Starting on April 22 at the Viejas Arena in San Diego, Puth and his A+ band will perform hits old and new across 34 dates in North America before venturing to Europe and the United Kingdom this summer. Tickets go on-sale today. For more information go to: https://www.charlieputh.com

Multiplatinum global superstar Hilary Duff has shared “Roommates,” the second single from her highly anticipated new album, luck… or something, arriving everywhere via Atlantic Records on Friday, February 20. Pre-orders/pre-saves are available now HERE. Co-written by Duff with her husband, GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriter/producer Matthew Koma (Britney Spears, P!nk), and Brian Phillips (Alec Benjamin, blink-182) and co-produced by Koma and Phillips, “Roommates” is available everywhere now HERE. The song is joined by an official music video, directed by Matty Peacock (Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande) and streaming now on YouTube:

“Roommates is a song about when life is life-ing, babe,” says Hilary. “It’s that ache for a wilder, freer time – before the days were swallowed by carpools, budget talks, grocery runs and letting old or new insecurities slip in. It’s the restless hum of wanting to find your way back – to your rhythm, to your person, to yourself.”

Next week will see Hilary heralding luck… or something with her “Small Rooms, Big Nerves” dates, an instantly SOLD-OUT run of very special live shows marking her first headline concert appearances in over a decade. Presented by Live Nation, the intimate performances kick off January 19 at London’s historic O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, followed by stops at Toronto, ON’s HISTORY (January 24), New York City’s Brooklyn Paramount (January 27), and Los Angeles, CA’s iconic The Wiltern (January 29). In addition, Duff will mark the new album’s arrival with a pair of SOLD-OUT concert residencies at the intimate Voltaire at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas set for February 13-15 and May 22-24. For complete details, please visit www.hilaryduff.com/live.

Duff’s sixth studio album, luck… or something also includes the acclaimed lead single, “Mature,” available everywhere now HERE. Hailed by VOGUE for “pushing Duff’s sound in new directions while still feeling quintessentially Hilary,” the sardonic, shimmering track – which quickly earned over 5M global streams in its first week of release – arrived as a piece of autofiction inspired by romantic misadventures in her formative years. Set against bright pop production and layered with Duff’s signature wit and vulnerability, “Mature” is accompanied by an evocative music video directed by Lauren Dunn (Olivia Rodrigo, Dove Cameron, Saweetie) which has garnered over 3.3M views and counting via YouTube.

ABOUT HILARY DUFF

One of the defining stars of her generation, multiplatinum global icon Hilary Duff is returning to the pop world with her boldest and most self-assured project yet. After rising to fame as the titular star of the Disney Channel blockbuster, “Lizzie McGuire,” Duff first kicked off her music career with 2003’s 4X platinum Metamorphosis (featuring the Top 40-charting “So Yesterday” and “Come Clean”), then released her platinum-selling 2004 self-titled LP and 2007 autobiographical dance-pop collection Dignity. With those three albums alone selling a collective 15 million copies worldwide, she also established herself as a producer, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and New York Times-bestselling author, all while continuing to deliver standout performances in TV and film, including her award-nominated turn on Darren Star’s “Younger.”

Recently signed to Atlantic Records, Duff is now launching a thrilling new chapter and sharing her first new music since 2015’s Breathe In. Breathe Out. (a No. 5 debut on the Billboard 200, made with an extensive lineup of producers/co-writers, including Tove Lo and Ed Sheeran).
