Ringo Starr trashes ‘little man' Roger Daltrey for firing son Zak Starkey from The Who
Not letting it be. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Starr's son, Zak Starkey, revealed how his famous father, Ringo Starr, stuck up for him after he was fired from The Who by frontman Roger Daltrey. 'I'm very proud of him standing up for me,' said Starkey, 59. Advertisement 8 Zak Starkey and Ringo Starr at The Box in London in 2016. David M. Benett When asked how the 84-year-old Beatles legend reacted, Starkey replied: 'He said, 'I've never liked the way that little man runs that band.'' Starr appeared to be referring to Daltrey, who had an alleged altercation with Starkey that led to his exit from the band.

But Starkey was quickly rehired by The Who, only to be let go from the band, again, in May.

't was all a bit vague. It was just like, 'You're getting fired,'' Starkey claimed. 'And Pete had to hang in there with Rog because I think it was…I don't know. I'm not going to name names or who did what. But Pete called me and said, 'Are you strong enough to fight for your job back?' I said, 'I'm not strong enough to have you do it for me.

'And I said, 'But I'm f—in' not.' So I just left it and didn't do it. It would be a lie. I'd never leave the Who. I love the Who.' 8 Ringo Starr, Zak Starkey in 1992.

I've heard them say weirder sh-t than this. It's the Who — the maddest band there's ever been.' Starkey also confirmed that he'd 'of course' return to the band again.

Drummer fired twice from legendary band calls members ‘insane'
Drummer Zak Starkey was fired by The Who, then rehired, then fired again within the span of a month. While Starkey, who has played with the band since 1996, says he still considers Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey family, he does take issue with the reasons they gave for dismissing him from the band. Starkey, who is the son of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr and Maureen Starkey, detailed what led to his firing in a recent interview with The Telegraph. 'What happened was I got it right and Roger got it wrong,' Starkey said, referring to The Who's performance of 'The Song is Over' at the band's second show at Royal Albert Hall in March. A review of the band's March gig in the Metro implied that Daltrey openly bashed Starkey's performance while on stage. While performing 'The Song Is Over,' Daltrey stopped and said, 'To sing that song I do need to hear the key, and I can't. All I've got is drums going boom, boom, boom. I can't sing to that. I'm sorry guys,'' according to the review. However, Starkey told The Telegraph that The Who doesn't typically play the 1971 hit live and didn't rehearse it enough. He also said Daltrey 'took a bit out' of the song because it was too long and came 'in a bar early.' 'I watched the show and I can't find any dropped beats,' Starkey told The Telegraph. 'Then Pete had to go along with it because Pete's had 60 years of arguing with Roger.' The Who kicked Starkey out of the band seven days later. Afterward, Townshend called Starkey to ask if he wanted to fight for his place back. He said no. But a week later, Townshend called again, and Starkey had changed his mind. 'I said, 'I want my gig back,'' Starkey told The Telegraph. The drummer's reunion with The Who was short-lived after he was dropped again just two weeks later. 'It was like, 'Roger says he can't work with you no more, and we'd like you to issue another statement saying you're leaving to do your other projects, and I just didn't do it because I wasn't leaving [of my own volition],' Starkey said. The drummer added that the band's team 'didn't specify' why Daltrey felt he couldn't work with Starkey. The singer later told him that 'you're not fired, you're retired because you've got so many other projects,' according to Starkey. Despite the situation, Starkey regrets how some fans sided with him and slammed Daltrey and Townshend. 'I don't blame anyone. I blame The Who because they're unpredictable, aggressive and (expletive) insane,' he said. Starkey was first fired by The Who in mid-April, two weeks after the second Royal Albert Hall show. The band was said to have 'made a collective decision' to part ways with the drummer, The Sun reported at the time. Starkey, who first joined The Who in 1996, later told Rolling Stone that he was 'surprised and saddened' by his firing, but was grateful for his time with the band. 'I'm very proud of my near thirty years with The Who. Filling the shoes of my Godfather, 'uncle Keith [Moon]' has been the biggest honor, and I remain their biggest fan. They've been like family to me,' Starkey wrote in the statement. 'Twenty-nine years at any job is a good old run, and I wish them the best.' In mid-May, Starkey was fired for the second time prior to The Who's farewell tour. 'After many years of great work on drums from Zak, the time has come for a change. A poignant time,' The Who's Pete Townshend wrote on Instagram on May 18. 'Zak has lots of new projects in hand and I wish him the best.' In a counter-statement also posted on Instagram, Starkey called Townshend's announcement a lie. 'I was fired two weeks after reinstatement and asked to make a statement saying I had quit The Who to pursue my other musical endeavors‚" Starkey wrote. 'This would be a lie. I love The Who and would never had quit. So I didn't make the statement ... quitting The Who would also have let down the countless amazing people who stood up for me ...' Starkey clarified that although he does have other projects, it would not have interfered with the tour and cited other points in time when he would balance both plans, from the 1990s through 2020. 'None of this has ever interfered with The Who and was never a problem for them,' Starkey said. 'The lie is or would have been that I quit The Who — I didn't. I love The Who and everyone in it.' Although the farewell tour was expected to include Starkey, he has already been replaced by Scott Devours. 'The Song Is Over North America Farewell Tour' will feature 16 shows, including a concert at Fenway Park in Boston on Tuesday, Aug. 26. Meanwhile, Starkey is taking time to focus on his other projects, including his band Mantra of the Cosmos. The group includes Shaun Ryder and Bez of the Happy Mondays and Black Grape, and Andy Bell of Oasis and Ride.

Wow. The 14 Must-Watch Owen Wilson Movies.
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." SOME PEOPLE ARE, to put it simply, balls of shining light. Those people exist here and there in our everyday lives, sure, but especially so when watching movies and TV shows. We're talking about the people who show up, and whether in a lead or supporting role, are someone we don't mind spending whatever time we can get with. For nearly 30 years, Owen Wilson has been one of those people. Wilson is best known for his work in comedy (starting with his debut role in Wes Anderson's Bottle Rocket), but through the years he's also shown an innate ability to handle anything from an action movie to a psychological drama just as well. He's a versatile performer who can do just about anything a director or a viewer might want, and always make it happen with his signature laid-back, likable charm. Even when he's playing someone who's kind of a dick—like, say, in Zoolander or The Royal Tenenbaums—there's something about the guy that we can't help but come around to. In his latest project, Apple TV+'s Stick, he comes around to a genre he's dabbled in before—the sports story. As a co-writer of The Royal Tenenbaums (which prominently features tennis) and a star of James L. Brooks's How Do You Know (where he played a baseball player), this isn't uncharted territory. But while Stick hits most of the familiar sports movie beats, where it shines is in centering Wilson—once again, he's just a guy we want to spend some time with. And if you're watching Stick (or anything else) and want to spend more time with Owen Wilson, the list below will have you covered with some of his best and most versatile appearances. Owen Wilson—along with his brother, Luke Wilson—first came to fame in Wes Anderson's debut film, Bottle Rocket. While Anderson's style would become much refined from here, Bottle Rocket is an indie comedy heist movie that perfectly puts on display exactly what both Wilsons are capable of. It's fun, clever, funny, and extremely formative to Wilson's persona as a screen presence. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWithout doubt one of Wilson's greatest partnerships has come with Ben Stiller (a relationship that lasts to this very day), and their dynamic is never better on display than in Zoolander. The film follows Derek Zoolander (Stiller), an empty-headed male model who's at the very top of his game—until a "so hot right now" newcomer named Hansel (Wilson) starts to steal his thunder. Add in a hilarious villain named Mugatu (Will Ferrell) and a funny Manchurian Candidate style subplot, and you have one of the signature comedies of the 2000s. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeThe Royal Tenenbaums tells the story of a narcissistic family patriarch named Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) who returns home with life-changing news for his family. Tenenbaums is, to this day, one of Wes Anderson's best films—it's arguably the point where his style most clearly and without question came into full focus—and clearly provided inspiration for shows like Arrested Development and Succession. Wilson plays the vital role of Eli Cash, who is a lifelong family friend of the Tenenbaum family who grows up into a Cormac McCarthy-esque writer of modern Western fiction. Stiller, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Owen's brother Luke are among the many others in this impressive and delightful cast. This may be the best movie on this list overall. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeLook, we said Wilson and Stiller were one of the great comedy duos of the 2000s, and that wasn't a lie. Meet the Parents focuses on Ben Stiller's Greg Focker as he tries to win over Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro), the deadly serious and highly skeptical father of his new fiancée. But that's not his only task—he's also got to compete with Kevin (Wilson), who's his fiancée's charismatic and highly-successful ex-boyfriend. The two, as usual, work some magic together. There are two other films in this series (Meet the Fockers and Little Fockers) with a fourth on the way, but for the purposes of this list we're going to have to stick with the OG. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWhen Rush Hour became a major hit in the late '90s, replicating its success became a major priority. And so Shanghai Noon was born—and it's different enough from Rush Hour to still hold up pretty decently. Jackie Chan stars as Chon Wang (pronounced like "John Wayne,' ha ha) who is from the Chinese Imperial Guard and looking to save a princess—and is teamed up with a fun-loving cowboy named Roy O'Bannon (a perfectly cast Wilson, stepping into the Chris Tucker role). It's fun! So fun, in fact, that a second movie, Shanghai Knights came out a couple years later. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWe said Zoolander was one of the signature broad comedies of the 2000s, and it certainly is. But part of the glory of Owen Wilson is that he's in more than one of the signature broad comedies of the 2000s, because Wedding Crashers is certainly that. Wilson and Vince Vaughn play a pair of attorneys who have an annual tradition: pretending to be people they aren't in order to get into weddings they were not invited to, and just have a ton of fun. Wilson and Vaughn's chemistry is for the ages, their love interests are played by Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisher, Christopher Walken is there, and you get a fantastic early Bradley Cooper performance as the film's villain. Truly what more do you need? It's a raunchy classic for a reason. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeThe Wes Anderson movies just keep coming. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is a movie about deep sea exploration, but at it's core its a story about a father (Bill Murray) and his son (Wilson). Come for Anderson's aesthetic and the movie's fantastic David Bowie covers, and stick around for a really touching relationship at the core and well-crafted characters. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubePart of Wilson's greatness is that he can do a little bit of everything—and that includes voicing the lead character in an iconic Pixar film. Cars is a film about, well, cars, but Wilson plays the one and only Lightning McQueen. Lightning is stand-in for the typical hot-shot athlete who knows little more than winning and his own catch phrases before he needs to get humbled and meets a world-weary mentor named Doc Hudson (voiced by Paul Newman). There are three Cars movies, but the first remains the best, and a classic for all ages, to this day. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeFolks, we've reached the list's fourth and final Wes Anderson movie, and it's The Darjeeling Limited. The film features three brothers—played by Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, and reigning Academy Award-winner Adrien Brody—as they take a trip through India with one another on the anniversary of their father's death. It's one of Anderson's most touching and personal films. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWhen we say Wilson can do it all, we mean it—and that includes fun/sad dog movies. Wilson's two most vital co-stars in Marley & Me are Jennifer Aniston and the adorable canine playing Marley. You know what you're going to get with this one, but damn if it's not effective! Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeYou've got Wilson the comedy star. You've got Wilson the family movie star. You've got Wilson the animation voiceover star. And in Behind Enemy Lines, you get the chance to see Wilson as the action star, once again opposite the great Gene Hackman. Is this the greatest action movie ever made? No, it's really not—it's a pretty standard military thriller. But he can do it, and it's fun to see these two actors go at it. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWith Midnight in Paris, you can add a bit of romance and magical realism to the Owen Wilson portfolio. This film, which won Woody Allen an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, follows a writer (Wilson) who visits Paris with his fiancée (Rachel McAdams) and her family, where he becomes taken to long walks by himself. On these walks, he eventually finds a way to transport to the Jazz Age, where he meets figures like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and more. It's a touching, sweet, funny movie about rediscovering what's important to you and feeling alive—and Wilson proves to be one of Allen's great protagonists. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWilson got to work with another fantastic modern director named Anderson in Inherent Vice, Paul Thomas Anderson's 2014 adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's novel of the same name. And keeping with the source material, Inherent Vice is a trippy, psychedelic neo-noir, with another stacked cast. The film follows Doc (Joaquin Phoenix), a private detective who is looking for numerous missing people—one of whom is a dude named Coy Harlingen (Wilson). Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeOK. Not a movie. But we're going to make an exception on Wilson's list to include Loki, which got the actor into the Marvel world for the first time as time-travel authority Mobius M. Mobius. Wilson is a a natural fit in the role, because despite not looking much like himself—Mobius has short, light, almost gray hair, and a mustache—this role makes fantastic use of his feel-good go-with-the-flow vibe. Wilson fits perfectly with Tom Hiddleston (who plays Loki), and every scene with the two of them together is just a delight. "He's the best. He's actually the best," Hiddleston told Men's Health in a recent interview. "He's one of the great men. I love that guy." We're going to have to agree.
