Miley Cyrus Is Totally Here for These ‘Hannah Montana’ Memories From Lil Nas X & Megan Thee Stallion
Hannah Montana stopped airing on Disney Channel in 2011, but Miley Cyrus‘ influence on the hottest hip-hop stars hasn’t stopped a decade later. Lil Nas X created a hilarious parody of the teen sitcom series via TikTok on Sunday, re-creating the jaw-dropping climax of the 2006 pilot episode where Cyrus’ character reveals her dual identity to her best friend Lilly Truscott (played by Emily Osment). Nas’ “Call Me By Your Name” plays in the background before he stops the music and dramatically removes his shimmering blond wig and cuts to Hannah Montana‘s signature musical transition. “I hope miley don’t block me for this,” he captioned the clip. But she did quite the opposite. The 28-year-old superstar switched roles by ...
Hypebeast Alert: The Supreme/Nike SB Dunks Drop This Week, Expect Many Ls
Source: Supreme / Supreme Nike SB Dunk Last year the Nike SB Dunk silhouette won Shoe of The Year honors thanks to some dope colorways, sick collaborations with Travis Scott, The Grateful Dead, and Ben & Jerry’s (no, seriously), and ultimately could do no wrong. As many painful Ls as those releases distributed along the way, hypebeasts are preparing for more now that Supreme is preparing to drop their own SB Dunk collaboration on March 4th. Looking to make up for the clunker of Supreme/Dunk Low’s of 2019 (those were hella struggle), the new-look Supreme Dunk’s look hella spiffy as they incorporate some faux crocodile skin on the silhouette’s overlays while some small gold stars lace the midfoot base around the swoosh.

Chadwick Boseman, Andra Day, Chloé Zhao Earn Milestone Golden Globe Wins
For three hours on Sunday night (February 28), the entertainment world took part in one of its time-honored awards-season traditions: enjoying the self-aware celeb fest that is the Golden Globes. This year, though, via a hybrid East Coast-West Coast broadcast that featured a live audience as well as a fleet of Hollywood big-timers calling in via Zoom, the show was less about ego-puncturing jokes and instead more concerned with pointing out the systemic failures of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which has had no Black members in nearly 20 years. This elephant in the gilded room was brought up multiple times, including by winner Sacha Baron Cohen and co-host Tina Fey during her monologue with fellow show anchor Amy Poehler. It was even acknowledged by HFPA members themselves at a k...
