U.K. Nurse Tells Kate Middleton About Being Asked to Sing Bon Jovi to Dying COVID Patient
“Can you make sure you sing Bon Jovi and hold his hand?” senior nurse Vasu Lingappa recalls being told by the patient’s wife, who couldn’t be with her dying husband. The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton praised nurses from U.K. hospitals performing “acts of kindness” for their COVID-19 patients in a new video — including one wife’s musical request. The Duchess hopped on a video call with nurses from University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust and commended them for “going that extra mile” apart from their usual job duties. A senior nurse, Vasu Lingappa, told her about one of his dying patients and how the patient’s wife asked him to sing Bon Jovi while holding his hand. “She said, &#...
Paris Jackson Unveils ‘Eyelids’ Video With Manchester Orchestra’s Andy Hull
Paris Jackson shared an emotional visual on Friday (Jan. 22) to accompany her collaboration with Manchester Orchestra‘s Andy Hull, “eyelids.” The black-and-white vignette finds the duo standing — first separately, then back-to-back — in a dark room as a light circles them. “Now I don’t know your name / It wouldn’t matter if I did anymore / Now I don’t know your name / I’m afraid of what’s under the floor,” they belt in the heartbreaking chorus. Jackson worked with Hull throughout the process of writing, producing and recording her debut album Wilted, which was released in December 2020. “Manchester Orchestra was the soundtrack to the most vital time in my life in regards to mourning and becoming who I am...
Is the SAG Award for Outstanding Movie Cast a Good Predictor for Best Picture Oscar?
But the two awards don’t always go hand-in-hand. Of the 25 films to win the SAG Award for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture since the category’s inception in 1995 (the awards show’s second year), 12 have gone on to win the Oscar for best picture, 12 have gone on to be nominated for best picture (but not win), and one wasn’t even nominated for an Oscar for best picture. (That was Mike Nichols’ 1996 farce The Birdcage.) Looking at it from the other direction, of the last 25 Academy Award winners for best picture, all but three were at least nominated for the SAG cast award. The three Oscar winners for best picture that were not SAG-nominated in the cast category were Braveheart (1995), The Shape of Water (2017) and Green Book (2018). Are there any pattern...
Coon Chieftain Jason Whitlock Compares BLM & Antifa To KKK
Source: Outkick / Youtube Jason Whitlock never misses an opportunity to put on his shiny tapdancing shoes and hit a little jig, and the conservative pundit is back up to his old tricks. Sitting down with the punchable Tucker Carlson, Whitlock compared the Black Lives Matter and Antifa to the Ku Klux Klan, using slick language to try to slip in the jab. Whitlock joined Carlson’s show this past Wednesday (Jan. 20) on the evening of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ inauguration, likening the BLM movement to an “enforcement arm” for Democrats. “Well, I compare Black Lives Matter to the KKK. I really do,” Whitlock said. “And some people don’t understand it, but if you go back to the 1860s, after the Emancipation Proclamation, the KKK was started, and it was the enforcement ...

Soulja Boy’s Former Assistant Accuses Him Of Sexual Battery and Assault
Source: Bennett Raglin / Getty It seems like Soulja Boy has some explaining to do. A former employee of his is now accusing him of some slimy behavior. The Atlanta native will have to clear his name in the court of law. According to People an unidentified woman is claiming that he put her through emotional and physical distress. She says the rapper hired her as his personal assistant in December 2018 for about $500 dollars a week. In the suit she claims the assigned duties far exceeded the payrate as he required her to cook, clean, chauffeur, style his hair and perform administrative work. Additionally she claims she was on call almost 20 hours a day for seven days a week. Miss Jane Doe says the two became romantic after a month when she received “unsolicited pictures of his penis.” Things...

Billie Eilish And Rosalía Finally Drop Their Long-Awaited Collab ‘Lo Vas A Olvidar’
Last April, Rosalía was waiting for Billie Eilish to send her vocal contributions for their much-teased collaboration. “I feel like the production, the sound design, is almost done,” she told Variety at the time, “so I just need that Billie maybe sends the vocals and they send me the ideas that they want to add because we are there.” It might’ve taken a while to finalize, but the vocals were sent. The ideas were added. And now, the finished product is out, complete with a gauzy, skeletal video that matches the mood of the song itself. That song is called “Lo Vas a Olvidar” and it features both Rosalía and Eilish singing in Spanish. Featuring trademark sparse production from Eilish’s brother/collaborator Finneas, “Lo Vas a Olvidar”...
It Finally Happened: Deena And Angelina Spoke On Jersey Shore — After Nearly A Year
Eight little words and a single plate of bruschetta was all it took for two roommates to mend fences. Tonight’s Jersey Shore: Family Vacation kicked off awkwardly enough with a family-dinner-turned-couples-retreat to welcome Pauly’s D’s main chick Nikki to the fam. (Sorry side piece, Vin.) Deena, who hadn’t faced her former roommate since that wedding, had agreed to attend on one condition: Angelina had to sit at the opposite end of the table. Following some mindless group chatter about oatmeal recipes, sweet tea, and scented pinecones, the meatball was the one to initiate contact for the first time in nearly a year with an innocent request: “Angelina, do you mind passing me the bruschetta?” (Also known as a simple ...
Zayn’s Bare Hymn, Kota The Friend’s Brooklyn Bop, And More Songs We Love
24-year-old indie-rocker Samia dropped her debut studio album The Baby last August, so the title is hardly a misnomer. But it’s a new year now. The Baby has to make room for its younger sibling The Baby Reimagined, a new collection of remixes from 11 different artists. Palehound’s spacey, slowed-down take on “Big Wheel” is a standout. Added guitars and warped vocals create the perfect backdrop for her simmering frustration. “God, I’m really gonna blow with all this empathetic shit,” she sings. “I understand the thing you did and every reason you did it.” Also of note: The “lover in my bedroom” here is a “she,” not a “he.” I got good news, and I didn’t fight! —Sam Manzella You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. I...
Watch Diplo Make a Beat Using His Tesla
From self-driving to generating wet fart noises in “fart mode,” Teslas really can do it all. They can even be used to produce music. Diplo shared a video today in which he makes a beat from scratch—with his Tesla. Using nothing but his car’s dashboard, he recreated the beat of “New Love,” his new Silk City single with Mark Ronson and Ellie Goulding. What is this sorcery, you ask? It looks like Diplo used a program called TRAX, a digital audio workstation (DAW) offered by Tesla in one of the company’s recent vehicular software updates. The in-car music studio had been available to owners in late 2019, but it has now been enhanced with expanded capabilities. While TRAX is much more limited than industry-standard DAWs like Ableton a...
