Having Meg step up as the Hot Girl Coach is a no-brainer after Tinder announced her Hot 100 No. 1 hit “WAP” with Cardi B was its certified freaky anthem of the year.

Rico Nasty On Nightmare Vacation, Naruto, And Never Rushing Herself
The rapper Rico Nasty has at least two tattoos of herself, one on each arm. On her right shoulder sits an inked-in rendering of a pink-haired selfie taken to commemorate her first visit to the Sony Music offices following the release of her third mixtape, Sugar Trap, in 2017. Her left forearm bears an image of a cartoonish black-and-white figure, less a portrait and more a persona — feisty, with spiked hair and a jagged smile — that made an appearance in the music video for her clanging single “OHFR?”. In it, Nasty wears fishnet stockings, vampiric black makeup, and a patched leather biker jacket, stomping and growling and swinging a miniature guitar like a battle axe. That fondness for shapeshifting self-definition has left a trail of mixtapes released as various alter egos, starting with...

GENE SIMMONS Blasts Anti-Vaxxers And Anti-Maskers: ‘If You’re A Denier, Stay In The Shadows’
Gene Simmons is promoting public confidence in the COVID-19 vaccine’s safety once it has obtained emergency-use authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. “The last three presidents of these United States — [Barack] Obama, [George W.] Bush and [Bill] Clinton — are all gonna be taking the vaccine on the same day, just to prove to people, ‘No, no. This is legitimate,'” the KISS bassist/vocalist told the “Jeremy White Podcast” in a new interview (see video below). “Because there are deniers, there’s the Flat Earth Society, and ‘Aliens ate my dog’s homework’ — and everything you can imagine. People who don’t believe in masks, ‘They’re a hoax’…” Gene went on to blast people who are def...

Berchtold pointed to shows coming back in Asia and New Zealand as signs of progress. Berchtol...
