A detailed report from the Chicago Tribune reveals that Herbo, real name Herbert Randall Wright III, formally requested that he be allowed to travel to New Jersey to be by Williams’ side, who is currently four months pregnant. As has been widely reported, Herbo pleaded not guilty to the wire fraud charges via a teleconference call on Wednesday (Dec. 9) from his Los Angeles home. The lawyer for Wright requested the travel to Ne...

Woman Sues R. Kelly For Medical Records, Says He Gave Her Herpes
Source: Chicago Tribune / Getty It’s been a minute since we’ve heard anything on the legal troubles R. Kelly is facing for his alleged abhorrent behavior and perverted way of life. But this week the disgraced platinum selling singer got slapped with a new lawsuit from a victim who wants some retribution for the damage he inflicted on her life. According to Page Six, Faith Rodgers is taking the “I Wish” singer to court demanding he turn over his medical records about his STD status after alleging that Kelly gave her. Rodgers claims that the 53-year-old deviant carried on a year-long relationship with her in which he would lock her up whenever she didn’t sexually please him “adequately” and eventually learned she had contracted herpes. Rodgers has asked the Manhattan Supreme Court to force t...
Zoey Dollaz Shot Multiple Times Outside Miami Strip Club
Source: Scott Dudelson / Getty Again, Fat Joe recently proclaimed that rappers are “in danger” and from the looks of things, he was onto something as Miami rapper Zoey Dollaz has become the latest entertainer to fall victim to the struggle year known as 2020. According to HotNewHiphop, Dollaz was shot multiple times last night (Dec. 9) while he was entering the Booby Trap On The River strip club in South Beach. Luckily for the 30-year-old rapper he is in stable condition and expected to survive the shooting. Local hip-hop journalist Tony M. Centeno, who was written for XXL, Billboard, and more, heard from his sources that the rapper was stable. “My dawg @ZoeyDollaz is a true soulja,” wrote Centeno. “I know he’ll pull through and recover quickly. Praying for him and his family. My...
Emma Ruth Rundle and Thou Announce New EP, Cover the Cranberries’ “Hollywood”: Stream
Emma Ruth Rundle and Thou have announced a new surprise collaborative EP titled The Helm of Sorrow, which arrives January 15th via Sacred Bones. They’ve also shared new cover of The Cranberries‘ “Hollywood” and a separate short, “Elysian Fields”, created by Thou’s Mitch Wells. The four-song EP includes B-sides from the excellent 2020 album from Rundle and Thou, May Our Chambers Be Full. In fact, the tracks were included on Sacred Bones’ “diehard” edition of the Chambers, but will receive a widespread release as The Helm of Sorrow, a suitably metal title. The cover of “Hollywood” is as captivating as anything we’ve heard from the pairing. Perhaps the artists or label realized these songs were too good to languish on a limited, exclusive release. No complaints here. A far cry from the origin...
George Clooney’s The Midnight Sky Blandly Goes Where Plenty of Sci-Fi Has Gone Before: Review
The Pitch: It’s 2049, and the Earth is plagued by a mysterious apocalyptic event – details are scarce, but it seems as though the world is in its last gasps, and time is running out. Perhaps the only man left on Earth is Augustine Lofthouse (George Clooney), an astronomer dying of cancer who chooses to stay behind while the rest of the personnel evacuate their observatory in the Arctic Circle. As he whiles away the days and weeks waiting for the world to end, two events force him into action: the arrival of a mute girl (seven-year-old newbie Caoilinn Springall) seemingly left behind in the evacuation, and the realization that a spaceship called the Aether is on its way back to the planet. They’ve spent the last few years scoping out a new planet for humanity called K-23, and are comin...
Greta Van Fleet Share New Video for “Age of Machine”: Watch
Greta Van Fleet have shared a video for their latest single, “Age of Machine”. The storyline of the seven-minute visual accompaniment is difficult to follow, but its press release insinuates that the narrative murkiness is intentional. Throughout the video, the classic rock nostalgists are seen admiring an ancient statue in the middle of an empty warehouse, cruising through a tunnel on motorcycles, and wandering around the desert in street clothes. Those seemingly unrelated shots of the band are interspersed with panoramas of oil fields, esoteric home videos with a ’70s-esque film quality, and vaguely Kubrick-like scenes of frontman Josh Kiszka receiving eye-drops in a medical facility. At one point, they take turns drilling and chipping away at the Greco-Roman statue they were admiri...
Amigo the Devil Premieres Video for New Song “Another Man’s Grave”: Watch
Amigo the Devil recently announced his sophomore full length album, Born Against. Now, the folk-rock troubadour is teaming up with Consequence of Sound to premiere the video for the LP’s first single, “Another Man’s Grave”. With “Another Man’s Grave”, Amigo continues his foray into dark Americana. Despite his music’s acoustic foundation, the songs have also resonated with metal and hard rock audiences, as he’s shared the stages with several heavy acts over the past few years. “This is very much a coming to terms song,” Amigo says of the new single. “It’s the realization that the habits and routine we’ve been living, the behaviors, and outlook displayed aren’t true to the person that we know exists somewhere within. It’s about the purgatory-like time between accepting this and the moment we...
Will Natalie Take Advantage Of The Double Agents Twist That ‘Will Change Everything’?
TJ Lavin flipped The Challenge “upside down” during the final moments of the Double Agents premiere. And the first person to face the game-changing dynamics is obviously a Challenge rookie. Two-time Survivor competitor Natalie, who won San Juan del Sur and finished second on Winners at War, edged out Ashley in the first win or go home mission of Season 36. Operation: Fire Escape was a Crater battle between the ladies — which left Natalie’s partner Wes and Ashley’s teammate CT to watch from the sidelines. And when Natalie bested Ashley in her first ever immunity elimination and earned the first Red Gold Skull — for one of only ten to compete in the final — TJ had quite the twist for the MTV newbie. And no, it wasn’t fire tokens. “As the ...
MTV Floribama Shore Star Nilsa Prowant Is Pregnant
Break out the stuffed-crust pepperoni pizza because Nilsa Prowant has something big to celebrate: The MTV Floribama Shore star is pregnant! “Even in the darkest of times the Lord still shines his light. Our greatest adventure is about to begin…” Nilsa captioned the announcement below. The father is boyfriend Gus (no, not that Gus!) and Baby Gazda is due May 2021. Nilsa — who made her MTV debut with her Floribama cohorts back in 2017 — began sharing photos with her beau Gus 2.0 in November 2019. The mama-to-be has gushed “your mama raised you right, you’re one of a kind” and stated “every heart ache was worth going through to get to you.” And, of course, foreshadowing their future family with the caption below. This bundle of joy is the ...
Taylor Swift’s Evermore, A Folklore ‘Sister Record,’ Will Be Out Tonight
The opening lyrics of Led Zeppelin’s 1971 folk song “The Battle of Evermore” introduce a “Queen of Light” who “took her bow / And then she turned to go.” Taylor Swift, indisputably one of the queens of 2020 (in terms of album sales, acclaim, and adoration), is doing the opposite: At midnight tonight (December 11), she’ll release her second album of the year, Evermore, a “sister record” to her Folklore release, which dropped in July. “To put it plainly, we just couldn’t stop writing songs,” she wrote to announce the album on social media. “To try and put it more poetically, it feels like we were standing on the edge of the folklorian woods and had a choice: to turn and go back or to travel further into the forest ...
“The Year I Lost 100 lbs”: Carnage Celebrates Weight Loss
In what was a year to forget, Carnage found a way to celebrate it. Having only dropped two singles in 2020, “Hella Neck” with Tyga, Takeoff, and Ohgeesy and “Together,” a collaboration with The Martinez Brothers featuring Elderbrook and Mike Dean, it seems that the one they (used to) call Papi Gordo had set some goals adjacent to his music career. His health was clearly a priority, as the electronic music producer took to social media to share a photo in which he appears slimmer than the Carnage of yesteryear. “2020… the year I lost 100 lbs,” he exulted. Many of Carnage’s fellow artists and music producers jumped in the comment section to congratulate him on his inspirational journey. “Looking good king,” wrot...
