“You can’t erase history, can you?” Tull Stories has revealed the official UK trailer for a documentary film titled Still Pushing Pineapples, a fun road trip documentary from UK filmmaker Kim Hopkins. Set for release in the UK starting in November, the film is a follow-up to Hopkins’ 2022 doc film called A Bunch of Amateurs which was about one of the oldest amateur filmmaking clubs in the world. In this one, she follows the former pop star Dene Michael as he clings to the remnants of fame he once had as a member of 1980s novelty pop group Black Lace. Entertainment, working-class culture, human connection, and the power of pop align in this idiosyncratic, moving, funny and unmistakably British road movie that follows an aging pop star, his spirited 89-year-old mother, and his feisty girlfriend as they navigate love, family duty, and the relentless pursuit of one last chart success. The band’s universally known hit Agadoo – both beloved and hated by many, and the high or low point of any party – is what Dene’s best known for. Even still today. But does anyone care anymore? This looks more melancholic than entertaining but still might be a good watch.

Here’s the official UK trailer (+ poster) for Kim Hopkins’ doc Still Pushing Pineapples, from YouTube:

What happens when you’ve created the worst hit song ever – at least according to the music press? What comes after fleeting fame, and what does it mean to grow old still chasing a dream? Kim Hopkins’ moving & funny follow up to her documentary A Bunch of Amateurs features former pop star Dene Michael as he clings to the remnants of fame he once had as a member of 1980s novelty pop group Black Lace. Still Pushing Pineapples follows Dene, his spirited 89-year-old mum Anne, and also his sassy girlfriend Hayley across Britain and the Costa del Sol in this unmistakably British road movie. En route they navigate love, family duty, and the relentless pursuit of one last chart success. But who needs an ’80s throwback in a loud pineapple shirt and oversized red specs, singing a tired earworm? Apparently, many do (doo doo). 🍍

Still Pushing Pineapples is a documentary film directed by British doc filmmaker Kim Hopkins, director of the other doc films Wanted, Folie à Deux: Madness Made of Two, Voices of the Sea, Cuban Dreams, and A Bunch of Amateurs previously. Produced by Margaréta Szabó. The film will premiere at Bradford’s 2025 UK City of Culture event next month. Tull Stories will debut Hopkins’ Still Pushing Pineapples doc in UK cinemas starting November 28th, 2025 this fall. No US release is set yet – stay tuned. Anyone interested?

Prosecutors Pushing For Diddy To Receive 11-Year Sentence

Diddy, in the eyes of many, scored a huge legal victory in July when he was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges, yielding much less time in prison had he been convicted. The prosecution is resiliently pursuing an extended sentence for the 55-year-old artist for his two convictions for transportation to engage in prostitution.

Prosecutors asked a Manhattan judge to put Puff behind bars for 135 months and charge him a $500,000 fine, per Reuters. His sentencing takes place on Friday (Oct. 3) and will be led by U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian.

After being convicted, his defense team sought the minimum sentence of 21 to 27 months, but the expectation was that he would spend 51 to 63 months, including time served. The maximum sentence for each conviction was 10 years.

The fallen mogul’s trial was controversial and traumatic. Cassie, his ex-girlfriend who first sued him for rape and trafficking, took the stand to tell her stories of their toxic relationship. Kid CuDi, Cassie’s ex-boyfriend, also testified, describing finding his car after the “I Need A Girl” artist allegedly attempted to blow it up. The Cleveland artist described a meeting he had with both of them, where Diddy acted like nothing had happened.

Several sex workers who participated in Puff’s alleged “freakoffs” also spoke under oath. They described disturbing scenes full of drugs, baby oil, and the former REVOLT chairman often sitting in the corner masturbating while watching them have sex with women. It was perhaps the most chaotic chapter of a two-year saga that included his Los Angeles and Miami properties being raided by Homeland Security and footage surfacing of him assaulting Cassie in a LA hotel in 2016.

Cardi B Responds to Young Thug Pushing His Album Release Back

by jummy84 September 18, 2025

written by jummy84

Young Thug is happily clearing the way for the arrival of Cardi B‘s long-awaited sophomore album Am I the Drama? Friday (Sept. 19) by making sure his own upcoming album UY Scuti drops later.

“Yall know I wasn’t dropping Friday. It’s a ladies day,” he wrote on X Wednesday night (Sept. 17) with a heart emoji. “Do yo s–t @iamcardib.” She sent back her own words of encouragement by replying, “And you better step next week …you got this, You know this !!”

Ahead of Am I the Drama?, Cardi revealed the album’s 23-song tracklist Thursday (Sept. 18), which includes previously released singles “WAP” (featuring Megan Thee Stallion), “Up,” “Outside” and “Imaginary Playerz” as well as more collaborations with Summer Walker (“Dead” and “Shower Tears”), Selena Gomez (“Pick It Up”), Kehlani (“Safe”), Lizzo (“What’s Goin On”), Cash Cobain (“Better Than You”), Lourdiz (“On My Back”), Janet Jackson (“Principal”), and Tyla (“Nice Guy”).

As for Thugger’s UY Scuti, he initially revealed this Friday as the release date at the tail end of his apologetic “Miss My Dogs” video that dropped last week, which addressed his trials and tribulations with his girlfriend Mariah The Scientist, Drake, Gucci Mane, 21 Savage, Future and Lil Baby. In a since-expired Instagram Story from Wednesday, the Altanta-bred MC teased another track with producer 808 Mafia while writing “Next Friday,” meaning Sept. 26. UY Scuti is now expected to drop the same day as Mariah Carey’s sixteenth studio album Here for It All and Doja Cat’s fifth studio album Vie.

Earlier this week, Thug was announced as one of the performers at Coachella next year, marking another major post-prison performance following his headlining stint at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash this past June and ComplexCon next month.
