Grace notes:
Can't get to Coachella this year? No worries. Billboard.com says YouTube will livestream RADIOHEAD, KENDRICK LAMAR and LADY GAGA's sets from the first weekend (April 14-16), along with most of the other artists scheduled to perform. The Coachella Channel will have three cameras that will always be on, and some of the performances can be accessed in a 360-mode. It will all be at youtube.com/coachella. (Marino)
Trolling for IQ points:
If you like virtual reality and NICOLAS CAGE --you'll love this.
Two app developers created a bizarre virtual reality simulation showing what it would be like to be trapped inside a cage and forced to watch Nicolas Cage movies. The "Cage Cage" designed by MIKE LACHER and CHRIS BAKER can be viewed with a VR headset or on a desktop computer.
Baker says they are both huge Nicolas Cage fans who "love watching clips of him at his cagiest." Lacher adds, "Watching one Nic Cage movie is great, but watching four simultaneously while locked in a cage is even better." The pair says it only took a few hours to write the program.
Editor's note: But it will probably take years to get rid of the nightmares. (Still)Idle gossip & unconfirmed rumors:
ALEX RODRIGUEZ takes his new girlfriend JENNIFER LOPEZ to the hottest places around like Miami, Manhattan, the Bahamas and (wait for it...) Little Rock, Arkansas! It's tough to imagine, but the white-hot twosome hit up a swanky joint called Arthur's Prime Steakhouse in the Diamond State last Monday, owner JERRY BARAKAT took a photo with the duo and posted it to Facebook. No word on why the lovebirds were in the heartland. (Lee)
I'm a Poll Man:
A new Quinnipiac University poll gives PRESIDENT TRUMP's approval rating at just 35-percent, down 6-points since early March. Fifty-seven-percent disapprove of Trump's performance, while 8-percent are uncertain.
Quinnipiac's March 7th survey put Trump's approval rating at 41-percent, meaning that his score has tumbled by 6-points in just under a month. (Pacelli)
