If you’re like us who suddenly find their Google accounts signed out suddenly yesterday, apparently we’re not alone. It seems to be the result of a routine maintenance by the company. As reported by The Next Web, this caused some issues with users thinking their accounts got hacked. But as Google assures, online security of the accounts are intact. They’re encouraging everyone to sign in again.

Spotify gets into original podcast game

Building on its own original content, Spotify is getting into the podcast game with three new podcasts series. The first one, which is already up, is called Showstopper. It’s hosted by The Fader’s Editor-in-Chief Naomi Zeichner and it tackles “pop culture analysis of our favorite music moments in TV.” Coming this March 14 is Unpacked. It’s co-hosted by Matt FX, music supervisor for Comedy Central’s Broad City, and Michele Santucci of Spotify Studios. It revolves around festivals and the people who are a part of it—everyone from musicmakers, filmmakers, to any time of creative people. They’re aptly starting at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas.

The last original podcast is currently called The Chris Lighty Story. Coming in April, it’ll chronicle how Chris Lighty, music industry executive, was able to shape the careers of some of the biggest names in hip hop (50 Cent, LL Cool J, Missy Elliot, Puff Daddy, and Foxy Brown).  There will be direct commentary from the likes of Russell Simmons, Fat Joe, and many more.  Spotify promises there will be more originals heading our way later this year.

‘Logan’ is the last ‘X-Men’ film for Patrick Stewart

So it looks like it isn’t just Hugh Jackman that will be leaving the X-Men franchise. Patrick Stewart is exiting the franchise 17 years since he starred as Professor X in the first film. He made the announcement during a SiruisXM Town Hall event alongside Jackman and Logan director James Mangold. He had the realization during the time the three watched the film together last week in Berlin.

“The movie ended… and we were going to be taken up on stage, but not until the credits were over. So, we had some time to sit there and, as I sat there I realized there will never be a better, a more perfect, a more sensitive, emotional, and beautiful way of saying au revoir to Charles Xavier than this movie. So, I told [Hugh] that same evening, ‘I’m done too. It’s all over.'” So if you want to see Stewart play Charles Xavier one last time, you can watch Logan starting March 3.
