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 rumors are true: Lady Gaga’s pregnancy with LG6 is finally coming to term. After formally dropping the ever-so-pink “Stupid Love” a few days ago, Gaga has revealed that her new album will be released April 10, unless it’s leaked sooner, we guess, not that that would ever happen with a Gaga song. The album […]

The Oscars were still so white for 2020’s slate of nominees, with the most glaring omission arguably being Jennifer Lopez’s work as a prolific stripper (and foxy scammer) in the female gaze-y Hustlers. Likely being that she had a performance of a lifetime to prepare for in the weeks following the nominee announcement, J.Lo never […]
Kanye West, as you may have heard, semi-recently rebranded as a sort of pastor. He stages a weekly Sunday Service for groups of select churchgoers, for example Justin Bieber and Brad Pitt and the people of Coachella.

To all the punks who are reading this but didn’t bother seeing David Byrne and his monochromatic pals in American Utopia: Well, lucky you, because American Utopia is actually coming back in a few months.

Forget celebrities reacting to Eminem at the Oscars. Try Nicki reacting to drag queens on RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Nicki Minaj, she of […]
