Foo Fighters Free Concert to Livestream After Super Bowl on Facebook, Instagram — and in VR

Chris Willman Music Writer“This is our last show,” Dave Grohl announced at the outset of the Foo Fighters’ set Wednesday night at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood. There was an awkward silence as the invited audience waited to see if there was a punchline coming or not.

Facebook parent company Meta, told TV presenter Piers Morgan of his bedroom accomplishments with not all of them being good.Speaking in an interview for a forthcoming issue of men's mag GQ, Piers grilled the former Liberal Democrats MP on his sex life by asking him about the notches on his bedpost.Mr Clegg, 55, was asked if he has sex with 20 or 30 women when he responded “no more than 30” before seemingly trying to lower the figure by adding: "It's a lot less than that."Following his reply, an inquisitive Piers dug deeper by asking if he had ever gotten complaints over his bedroom antics to which he responded “oh God yes, of course.”Questions over his love life continued as Piers questions what his wife Miriam might think of his performance.Mr Clegg said he believed his wife would be “very content and happy” in his response.The bizarre interview comes as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Mr Clegg was given a promotion in a Facebook post yesterday (February 16).The move has reportedly made Mr Clegg, who joined Facebook in 2018, one of the most powerful people in tech.Mr Zuckerberg said in the post: “Nick will now lead our company on all our policy matters, including how we interact with governments as they consider adopting new policies and regulations, as well as how we make the case publicly for our products and our work."This is not the first time Piers has interviewed Mr Clegg for GQ as the previous piece went into detail about “abusing a rare cactus” when the former politician was “fairly inebriated” in Munich, Germany.Mr Clegg, who was 16 at the time, drank too much at a party and wandered around a garden before using a lighter in a greenhouse.He said it was an “accident” but he and a friend wanted to repeat a

Sir Nick Clegg has been promoted into a high-powered role at international technology megafirm Meta, formerly known as Facebook.Clegg, who is the former deputy prime minister of the UK, will be stepping up to become the president of global affairs at the social media platform's hub.The move will allow Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to focus on leading the company as Clegg picks up some of his old responsibilities.Writing on Facebook, Zuckerberg said the promotion would put the former Lib Dem MP “on the level” of himself and chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg.The money sloshing around at Meta is far from a secret, and so with that in mind where does his time there leave the former politician financially? According to CelebrityNetWorth , 55-year-old Nick Clegg has a net worth of around £2.9million. Clegg joined Facebook in 2018 as the vice president of global affairs and communications.

The world of music wasn’t enough for Foo Fighters, so they’ve made a movie.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has introduced a strange new name for employees at the flagship social media company. The 37-year-old has announced a number of new "corporate values" for Facebook and newly named parent company Meta, with staff told they are now "Metamates".Reports from the Verge suggest that the announcement came from a meeting between all staff members of both groups, with Zuckerberg explaining what it means for Meta and Facebook.Zuckerberg said the introduction of new values would include a focus on teamwork that would "build awesome things," "move fast together" and a new call to "focus on long-term impact".The evolution of the previous slogan "move fast and break things," evolved into "move fast" and now "move fast together".The parent company changed its name from Facebook to Meta last year and is responsible for some of the largest social media apps, including WhatsApp and Instagram.Zuckerberg said that for staff to identify with the new unity of the firm, employees should start considering themselves Metamates, and that the priority when considering employees, self and the company should be "Meta, Metamates, me."On Facebook, Zuckerberg explained that the current values of the company were written in 2007, but a lot had changed since then.He said: "We are now a distributed company.

Facebook.Earlier this week Meta (formerly Facebook) quietly issued a warning saying that it could shut down the services if Europe doesn't let it perform "transatlantic data transfers".In an annual report to a US government agency, Meta said that the company will "probably" have to stop offering its "most significant products and services" if a new framework is not adopted.After German leaders responded to the Facebook warning by essentially telling Zuckerberg to bring it on, a French minister has weighed in with some tough love for the Meta billionaire.French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said that life would be 'very good' without Facebook and that the EU will stand up to tech companies: “Digital giants must understand that the European continent will resist and affirm its sovereignty.”This followed comments from Le Maire's German counterpart, Robert Habeck, who said “After I was hacked I have lived without Facebook and Twitter for four years and life has been fantastic."The report in question said that a new transatlantic data transfer framework for Europe to the United States must be adopted, and if it isn't, Meta "will likely be unable to offer a number of our most significant products and services, including Facebook and Instagram, in Europe."A spokesperson for Meta said: “We have absolutely no desire and no plans to withdraw from Europe, but the simple reality is that Meta, and many other businesses, organisations and services, rely on data transfers between the EU and the US in order to operate global services."Like other companies, we have followed European rules and rely on Standard Contractual Clauses, and appropriate data safeguards, to operate a global service."They added: "Fundamentally, businesses need

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle EditorMatthew McConaughey had us fooled for a second.His new commercial for Salesforce, which he co-created and premiered during the Olympics, opens with the Oscar winner in an astronaut’s suit, making the spot look like it could be a trailer for a sequel to his 2014 film “Interstellar.”“I wanted this misdirect at the beginning,” McConaughey told me ahead of the ad playing during Super Bowl LVI on Sunday. “I wanted it to open and look very serious and in space because we’re about to pull the rug out from under you. Some people are going to think this is going to be the trailer for ‘Interstellar 2.’”Instead, McConaughey is floating among the stars in a hot air balloon before waxing philosophically, “It’s not time to escape.

Facebook and Instagram could be banned in the UK and Europe.Mark Zuckerberg has threatened to pull "core services" from the region following a dispute over data protection laws with Europe.Meta has quietly issued a warning saying that it could shut down the services if Europe doesn't let it perform "transatlantic data transfers".This means transferring people's private data from secure servers in Europe, where they are heavily regulated, to the US.In an annual report to a US government agency, Meta said that the company will "probably" have to stop offering its "most significant products and services" if a new framework is not adopted.While Meta claims that sharing data between countries and regions is critical to providing its services, the European Court of Justice has prevented it from doing so since July 2020.

Facebook would grow to be the biggest social media site on earth with over 2 billion users. With that astonishing success in mind, it's funny to think that CEO Mark Zuckerberg's original idea for the website was something very different indeed - he wanted to compare college girls to farm animals.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg told staff that he 'may cry because he'd scratched his eye' just hours after his company lost £174 billion in the biggest one-day drop in stock market history. New figures, released as part of parent company Meta’s latest financial results, show that daily users of Facebook fell to 1.929 billion people in the last three months of 2021, compared with 1.939 billion in the previous quarter.Meta’s shares fell 22.6% to 249.90 US dollars (£183) in after-hours trading following the announcement and Zuckerberg saw almost £22 billion pounds wiped of his net worth.Following the new Zuckerberg held a virtual-wide company meeting looking red-eyed and wearing glasses.A person at the meeting told AdAge that he told staff that if he started to cry it wasn't because of the day's news but a scratched eye.Mr Zuckerberg admitted the rise of rival apps such as TikTok is having an impact on Facebook, with Meta also warning of slowing revenue growth because of the growing competition and a reduction in spending among advertisers.“People have a lot of choices for how they want to spend their time and apps like TikTok are growing very quickly,” the Facebook founder said.Zuckerberg has fallen out of the top 10 richest people in the world as a result, and is now 12th on the rich list.Luckily he's still got $87.6billion dollars (£64bn) to his name.
