This Coast Entertainment News

Welcome to another week. Did anyone watch the Grammys? Adele won the gold, Nikki Minaj performed an exorcism, and all the hype for Coldplay and Rihanna was just rubbish. But Deadmau5 was highly entertaining outside of the show.

Here’s some entertainment news you can use. We gather the latest or notable local entertainment headlines in both Seattle (Around the Sound) and Raleigh (In the Triangle), as well as the other surrounding cities. Enjoy!

From around the sound…
