If you were looking forward to that Joni Mitchell/Carole King/Carly Simon biopic "Girls Like Us," then today, Nov. 25, you are out of luck. In an interview with "The Sunday Times," via "NME," Joni Mitchell revealed that she has pulled the plug on the project, citing the casting of Taylor Swift as one of the primary reasons."I squelched that!" Mitchell admitted. "I said to the producer, 'All you've got is a girl with high cheekbones.' It's just a lot of gossip, you don't have the great scenes.""There's a lot of nonsense about me in books," Mitchell went on to say, "assumptions, assumptions, assumptions."The now-halted film was based on the book "Girls Like Us" by Sheila Weller, which followed the rise of Mitchell and her singer-songwriter contemporaries Carly Simon and Carole King during the 1970s. Swift was cast as Mitchell back in 2012, with "Mad Men's" Jessica Pare cast as Simon and "The Newsroom's" Alison Pill cast as King. -

They come in — you guessed it — green and red.In the most recent episode of the band's HBO series and companion piece to their new album, "Sonic Highways," Grohl and the boys visited New Orleans. They recorded at the historic Preservation Hall, which is rich in history, none of which Grohl knew anything about, admitting, "Before I turned on the camera with Ben Jaffe from Preservation Hall [Jazz Band], I said, 'I don't know s--t about jazz and I don't know shit about New Orleans.
