Carole King and Gerry Goffin co-wrote some of The Monkees’ songs that are essential classics. One of the tracks was the theme song for The Monkees’ only feature film, Head. The song in question features the sound of a dolphin or a porpoise in its mix. The Monkees | James Jackson / Stringer
Carole King wrote some of The Monkees‘ songs with her songwriting partner, Gerry Goffin. Notably, one of the songs they wrote for The Monkees became a huge hit. In addition, a Goffin-King song was recorded by The Byrds and later The Monkees.

The woman who returned Lady Gaga’s dogs, and was then arrested for being an accomplice to the incident in which dog-walker Ryan Fischer was shot and the singer’s two dogs abducted, has launched a lawsuit.
According to People, documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court indicate that Jennifer McBride is suing Gaga, claiming she’s owed the $500,000 reward that was offered for the safe return of the two French bulldogs, Koji and Gustav — despite the fact that McBride was one of five people arrested in connection with the theft of the dogs and shooting of Fischer.

Fiddy joins a cast stacked with actors who are both talented and (appropriately) odd including: Rising star Anton Yelchin (Chekov in J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" and teen-nerd/vampire-slayer in the upcoming horror/comedy "Fright Night"); Gugu Mbatha-Raw (from the flash-in-the-pan TV series "Undercovers"); Willem Dafoe (everyone's go-to freaky man/ plot-information-provider) and, according to rumors, the always fantastic Tim Robbins (who can be seen in the soon-to-be released "Green Lantern").
