R.I.P. Brian Rohan, “Dope Lawyer” for Grateful Dead and Ken Kesey Dead at 84
Brian Rohan, the San Francisco “dope lawyer” who represented celebrity clients like Grateful Dead and author Ken Kesey, has died at 84. He passed away at home in the Bay Area after a six-year-long battle with cancer, confirmed his daughter Kathleen Jolson. “My father grew up very straitlaced, and he was fascinated by what he saw in the Haight. He was looking for somebody to help, and he saw that nobody was there to protect the kids flocking to San Francisco,” Jolson told the San Francisco Chronicle. “He worked until the last day of his life, clutching his phone in one hand and his iPad in the other. He fought for his clients, he fought for his friends, and he fought for what he thought was right.” Born in Tacoma, Washington in 1936, Rohan spent his high school years rocking the debate team...
Britney Spears Responds to Documentary: “I Cried for Two Weeks”
Framing Britney Spears, the documentary exploring Britney Spears’ controversial conservatorship, premiered back on February 5th. Since then, nearly everyone has commented on the film, including her father Jamie Spears, media stars, and even Justin Timberlake. However, one crucial voice has been missing from the discourse on the documentary — Britney Spears herself — and now she’s finally speaking up about it. In a new post on Instagram, Spears revealed that she’s only seen parts of Framing Britney Spears. Understandably, she had been putting it off due to the overwhelming nature of its content and the massive response from viewers. “My life has always been very speculated… watched… and judged really my whole life,” reads the caption. “I didn’t watch the documentary but from what ...

HHW Gaming: Latest ‘Call of Duty’ Update Will Be Kind on Your Hard Drive Thanks To This New Feature
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Activision / Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War When Activision usually announces the latest Call of Duty season update, gamers are usually excited to prospect for new features coming to the game. Still, it comes with the huge caveat that it’s going to eat up all of your hard drive space. This latest update looks to tackle that troublesome issue.

HHW Gaming: Feast Your Eyes On Paul George’s Nike PG5 PlayStation 5 Sneakers
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nike / LaceupHk A collaboration Nike won’t be suing anyone about. Nike is continuing its partnership with PlayStation with Paul George’s latest signature sneaker, the PG5. Like previous iterations of the collab between the companies, each shoe signified something that George, a well-known avid fan of the PlayStation, loved about the console. 2018’s version of the shoe drew inspiration from Sony’s iconic DualShock controller. For the PG5, it makes perfect sense that it would take its cues from the still hard to obtain PlayStation 5 console, and it’s a very good-looking sneaker. Instagram sneaker news and media website LaceupHK shared photos of the upcoming shoe slated for a May release that comes in two distinct colorways. Source: Nike / LaceupHk Like the ...

Listen to Nero’s New Remix of Iconic 1983 Song “Relax”
There’s an escalating output of new music from the elusive Nero trio. The group has just dropped their third remix within a week. Prior to their latest run of releases, the group had remained dark for two years. It’s no secret that 80s era sonics and aesthetics have played a substantial role in shaping the Nero we know today. For their latest remix, the trio put a new spin on one of the decade’s most recognizable hits, Frankie Goes to Hollywood‘s 1984 hit “Relax.” While it’s clear from the outset this is a Nero remix based on the sweeping textures, punchy kicks, and robotic basses, Nero is careful to build ample suspense before truly throwing listeners for a loop. As Holly Johnson calls out in earnest, “Hit me with your laser b...

Will Teen Mom OG‘s Leah Ever Accept Amber?
Leah turned 12 during tonight’s Teen Mom OG episode, but her mom Amber decided not to join her daughter’s family-only birthday party. Now, can the MTV mom fix the “bond” with her mini-me? The context: Gary asked Leah what she wanted to do for her birthday — and if she wanted to invite her other parent for a small, family-only get-together with Kristina, sister Emilee and Grandma Tonya (Amber’s mom). “I don’t want to,” Leah told Gary and Kristina about Amber, even though he said it was “important” to spend time with her. “We don’t really have a bond like that. Twelve years, and she hasn’t really done anything. That’s kind of been Kristina’s spot.” Kristina’s take: “I’m jus...
