The Weeknd showed up to Saturday Night Live in full costume, but it wasn’t funny business. It was very serious world-building business. The singer debuted his new single “Scared to Live” with Oneohtrix Point Never on SNL sporting a red suit, wingback shoes, black gloves, and a very realistic, bandaged bloody nose. It’s his new […]
A woman of 1,000 cinch-waisted lewks, one of Dolly Parton’s most memorable outfits came with a bunny tail and a malevolent-looking rabbit man. In her recent interview with 60 Minutes Australia, which airs Sunday night, the “Jolene” singer said she’d love to pose for Playboy again in a recreation of her 1978 cover photo shoot […]
With massive gatherings like South by Southwest canceling or contemplating cancellation in the wake of the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, the idea of seeing a musician in a slight smaller venue doesn’t sound so terrible to us. Hopefully Justin Bieber fans feel the same way, as the singer has just moved several of his upcoming tour […]
Anyone who teared up when that instrumental version of “Reflection” hit in Disney’s live-action Mulan trailer knows it would take something very special to compare to 16-year-old Christina Aguilera belting for the gods. So how about a 39-year-old Christina Aguilera belting for the gods? The singer dropped her new song “Loyal Brave True” for the […]
You don’t need us to tell you again about how much we like the Dixie Chicks’ new barn burner (and bed burner) “Gaslighter,” their first official single in 14 years. We’re not alone either: The single is behind only Demi Lovato’s “I Love Me” on the iTunes Top Songs chart at the time of writing. […]
In a week, the ongoing contract dispute between Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion and 1501 Certified Entertainment, the Texas indie record label that signed her in 2018, has rapidly devolved into one of the most lurid rap-label tiffs in recent memory. On Sunday, Megan told fans that 1501 was attempting to block the release of […]
In a certain world, you could sum up the mid-’90s with Stephen Malkmus, crying while drinking a martini, singing Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. Malkmus’s group, Pavement, is still one of the great examples of what was thought possible with guitars and irony at the dawn of the internet. Decades later, we caught up with the joke, and […]
Dua Lipa has predicted the latest trend: canceling group-fitness classes over coronavirus concerns and getting well fit in the comfort of your own apartment/quarantine chamber. That has to be the reason why she released the “Let’s Get Physical Work Out Video” today, after already releasing a somewhat less interactive music video for her single, “Physical” […]
The Demi Lovato Come Back Tour continues. After over a year out of the limelight due to a relapse in July of 2018, Demi Lovato has spent 2020 reclaiming her space as one of pop music’s most talented vocalists.

Katy Perry dropped the music video for her ballad “Never Worn White” at midnight on Thursday, and used it to reveal that she and fiancé Orlando Bloom are pregnant with their first child.

Our most beloved talented musicians are positively obsessed with stringing fans along by releasing every imaginable type of project but new music. The latest to do so? Kendrick Lamar. And his nonmusic passion? It isn’t menswear. It isn’t a fragrance, or a memoir, or making a feature-length kung-fu film. It’s … global, multilingual, creative media […]
Megan Thee Stallion took to ESPN, a natural platform for any rising musical artist, to chat about her faith in the Houston Rockets’ postseason performance. But for those abreast of her recent record-label drama, the ESPN talk-show appearance was also a sly takedown of 1501 Certified Entertainment label CEO Carl Crawford, a former MLB star, […]
We can never hold that much of a grudge against the pop savant who gifted our planet with “Oblivion” and Art Angels, but Grimes’s relationship with billionaire industrialist–mad scientist Elon Musk has certainly alienated some of her fans. The very online singer-producer-dater-of-Musk knows this and addresses the political dissonance of her relationship in a recent […]
Demi Lovato cried seeing her 27th birthday cake and it wasn’t just because cake is a heavenly food. The singer and Quibi host revealed on The Ellen Show that her previous management team would “control” her diet so much that she was never allowed to have things like birthday cake. Their control, which included removing […]
Even if the whole world knows that someone’s a sex offender, the law dictates that a sex offender still must register as a sex offender. That’s the hard truth that Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty discovered upon failing to register in California, and now he’s being federally indicted. As TMZ reports, Petty was arrested during […]
It’s the year 2020 and the prodigal Dixie Chicks have finally returned, no thanks to George W. Bush and his ilk.

Ring the alarm and warm up the fiddle section, the Dixie Chicks’ newest song is finally here. “Gaslighter” — which the band teased on social media in February with a dictionary description of the word, a noun meaning psychological manipulator who seeks to sow seeds of doubt, and a super-short audio clip of the trio […]
Dave Burd is Über-confident. And not like his satirical rapper alter ego Lil Dicky, whose constant garish flexing and bravado are so blatant it borders on the absurd. No, Burd is simply self-assured to an extreme degree. “These guys would be crazy not to green-light this,” the curly ’froed rapper, who turns 32 later this […]
The 5-tracked collection embodies all features that Bless Picasso is known for: sharp rhymes, dope beats, killer samples, and perfectionism for every layered sound.

Bunny’s 2018 debut X100Pre is a landmark Latin […]

With the end times feeling so near, thank goodness Harry Styles has given us something to look forward to months from now. This October, he’s taking over Madison Square Garden for a fancy dress party (in American: a costume party) and you’re all invited. This isn’t like that scene in Mean Girls where Cady Heron […]
