Kevin Bacon Covers Radiohead’s “Creep” for His Baby Goats: Watch
Kevin Bacon has baby goats, and apparently the kids are big Radiohead fans. In a video posted to his Instagram, the 62-year-old actor busted out an acoustic cover of “Creep” while an adorable little goat chewed on his shirt. “The goats wanted me to play this, I don’t really think it’s appropriate,” the Footloose star said at the beginning of the clip. Still, “the goats were insisting,” so Bacon went ahead and played the first verse and hook until one of the babies got too curious about what was in his pocket and he had to stop. Thom Yorke probably can’t relate. Watch the impromptu barnyard jam session below. Maybe next time Bacon can serenade some pigs? As it turns out, this isn’t the first video that Bacon has posted with the hashtag “#GoatSongs”. Back in November he covered Fra...

Billie Eilish Lost 100k Followers For Posting Drawing of Breasts
It’s not often that you lose followers for participating in a social media challenge, but that’s what just happened to Billie Eilish. The Grammy winner lost 100,000 followers on Instagram after she posted a drawing she made of some women’s breasts. The 19-year-old Eilish was participating in the viral “Post a Picture Of” Instagram challenge, in which users put a question box in their story where their followers can tell them what to post pictures of. As Cosmopolitan noted, Eilish answered one prompt by posting a picture of her lockscreen, and then followed another prompt by posting “a drawing you’re really proud of”. For the latter, Eilish shared a notebook page full of doodles of nude female bodies that she says she drew. “These probably lol I love boobs” wrote Eilish in the cap...
Patti Smith Says Trump’s Presidential Era Has “Been a Terrible Atmosphere to Live In”
Patti Smith has spent her career advocating for equity and peace through music, poetry, and writing. Meanwhile, for the past four years, Donald Trump has tried to squash those two facets of life on the regular — and apparently he pissed off the punk legend in the process. In a new interview with the Guardian, Smith denounced Trump, saying his presidential era has “been a terrible atmosphere to live in.” “You try to do your work and not let [politics] permeate your consciousness daily, but it does. It’s very insidious,” she told The Guardian. “I have encountered him in New York through the years and found him a horrible, narcissistic person and just a bad businessman. I’ve seen the debris of his deals. I think the damage he has done is going to be felt for a long time. It’s not going to be ...
Watch Kevin Bacon Cover Radiohead’s ‘Creep’ for His ‘Goat Songs’ Series
Kevin Bacon doesn’t have much left to prove in the acting world. He’s played the biggest parts, won a handful of awards, been referenced in Guardians of the Galaxy, and become synonymous for how connected most of Hollywood really is with each other. But becoming an Instagram star by singing acoustic cover songs to his goats probably wasn’t what anyone expected from Bacon in 2020. That’s exactly what the 62 year old has done though, and his latest hit is his take on the Radiohead classic, “Creep.” The iconic track follows Bacon’s earlier “Goat Songs” performances of tunes like Frank Ocean’s “Thinkin Bout You” and the Beach Boys’ “Don’t Worry Baby,” and it’s honestly not nearly as terrible as you might be thinking. Of course, it helps that we’ve all become accustomed to odd cover s...
Master P & Baron Davis Interested In Buying Reebok From adidas For $2.4B
Source: REEBOK / Reebok With Nike and adidas basically reigning supreme in the sports attire arena of the game, it looks like Reebok’s about to undergo a major change. Their parent company, adidas, is looking to cut ties with the struggling OG sneaker brand and keep it moving, sparking interest from known entities. According to Forbes, the German sportswear company has decided to put Reebok on the market due to the lack of interest the brand has garnered over the years, but don’t expect the home of Shaquille O’Neal’s signature Shaqnosis’s silhouette to come cheaply either. Even with the struggles that Reebok has experienced over the decades on the street market (can’t resell a pair of Reebok’s to save your life out here), the asking price for the company is said to hover around a cool $2.4...
French Montana Reveals He Gave Up Alcohol After 2019 Health Scare
Source: Judy Eddy/WENN.com / WENN For many people giving up alcohol can prove to be the hardest habit to kick in a lifetime, but the decision becomes a no brainer whenever drinking becomes a life-threatening vice. Just ask French Montana. In XXL‘s latest cover story, the “Unforgettable” rapper revealed that he hasn’t picked up a drink in over a year due to damage that his partying lifestyle had wrought on his health. It was just a year ago that French Montana found himself laid up in the hospital during the Thanksgiving holidays and though he’d develop a habit of drinking and poppin’ percs like Tic-Tacs, doctors told him alcohol could prove to be the most fatal of the two. Knowing he had to make that lifestyle change that many refuse to commit to (addiction is the worst), Montana chose his...
The Best K-pop B-sides Of 2020
By Elizabeth de Luna The year of our Lord 2020 sucked (zero out of 10, would not do it again), but somehow, it still managed to be pretty stellar for Korean pop music. The industry was quick to respond to the pandemic with digital alternatives for in-person meet-and-greets and now stands at the forefront of virtual live concerts and augmented reality technology. BTS climbed even higher into the echelons of global culture, nabbing their first Grammy nomination along the way. NCT pushed boundaries of size and sound with a gargantuan two-part album, Resonance. And the debuts of a handful of impressive new groups propelled the promise of K-pop’s next generation. It wasn’t all great — parts of the industry (and fandom) still struggled to differentiate culture from costume, failing outrigh...
