Larry King Once Told Conan O’Brien He Wanted His Body Frozen After He Died
For the last two years, Conan O’Brien has spent a good chunk of his day-to-day hilariously looking for new friends on his podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend. Today, the late-night host lost one of his greatest pals in veteran TV personality Larry King. The two were exceptionally close. So much so that King was more or less a series regular on O’Brien’s late-night show, popping up for essential bits on the dime without any notice or ceremony. In fact, die-hard fans would be quick to point out that, according to Conan mythology, King could always be found in the rafters above the show’s stage. Yes, all too often, O’Brien would randomly turn the cameras over to King, who would be sitting there above them, ready to deliver irreverent jokes and one-liners. It was a great recurring bit that n...
Eminem Premieres New Music Video for “Higher”: Watch
Eminem is in #SurvivalMode in his new music video for “Higher”. The clip for the Music to Be Murdered By single debuted Saturday afternoon ahead of the rematch between Justin Poirier and Conor McGregor at UFC 257. Watch it down below. As The Detroit Times points out, “Higher” has become something of an anthem in the sports world as of late, recently appearing in an ESPN advertisement for the College Football Playoffs national championship game. Of course, Eminem is no stranger to the ring; 2015 boxing drama Southpaw was inspired by Marshall Mathers and featured original music from the rapper. In related news, Eminem released a Side B (Deluxe Edition) of Music to Be Murdered By, featuring 16 additional songs, just last month. [embedded content] #SURVIVALMODE &#...

Flaming Lips Successfully Perform First Space Bubble Concert
They officially pulled it off. On Friday night, the Flaming Lips successfully performed the first of two space bubble concerts at Oklahoma City’s The Criterion after postponing the original dates due to rising COVID-19 numbers. The venue’s floor was filled with 100 bubbles, which could fit up to three people each, and every member of the band was suited up as well. Though unconventional in setup, the show was just what you’d expect from Wayne Coyne and company, filled with rainbows, confetti, and giant silver balloons that spelled out “FUCK YEAH OKLAHOMA CITY” and “FUCK YOU COVID-19.” The Lips kicked off the night with “Race for the Prize” and curated a setlist filled with hits (“She Don’t Use Jelly,” “Feeling Yourself Disintegrate,” “Waitin’ for a Superman,” “Yoshimi Battles the...
Rookies’ Revenge: Is Big T’s Girl Gang The Next Big Threat On The Challenge?
Later, Lavender Ladies. Move along, Inferno 2 Mean Girls. There’s a new girl gang in Challenge-town, and while they might be little, they proved on the most recent Double Agents episode that they can certainly pack a wild punch. After Nelson’s shocking Crater elimination, Big T and her gaggle of rookie pals — The Ambers and Gabby — began to grow frustrated with some of the vets’ bravado. More specifically, they were sick of Tori citing their small group “layups,” and rather than wait to get bowled over — the typical routine for a Challenge rookie — they decided to stand up and fight. After a five-alarm meeting, the girls committed to winning the next mission so they could pit Tori, their Public Enemy No. 1, against Tori’s best pal Aneesa. This would ensure one of the veterans was eliminat...
Rihanna Says Good Riddance To Donald Trump In The Most Savage Way Possible
Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Donald Trump’s term is officially up, and Rihanna got in on the fun, saying goodbye to the worst president the United States has ever had. On the day we witnessed so much epicness like our forever Flotus Michelle Obama, and her inauguration BIG DRIP, a huge dose of Black girl magic with Amanda Gorman becoming the youngest inaugural poet ever and those hilarious Bernie Sanders memes, Rihanna wanted to make sure she made a statement as well. In the most savage way possible, the “Diamonds” singer shared a photo of herself on Instagram looking flawless, of course, in her Savage x Fenty intimates covered by “end racism” t-shirt taking out the trash, aka Donald Trump and his administration as her way of showing support for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala...
Get It Right: ‘Vogue’ Republishing Kamala Harris Issue With New Cover After Backlash
Source: Patrick Smith / Getty It appears that with the change of Presidential administration comes a change of Vogue covers too after the fashion publication announced that they would be reissuing the Kamala Harris feature with a new cover. According to Page Six, after publishing and releasing the abysmal cover of the Vice-President dressed for the campaign trail wearing converse and dressed casual, the iconic fashion publication has announced that they will be re-releasing the issue as a special edition with a new cover after facing backlash from supporters over the lack of professionalism with the original. On Tuesday, Vogue confirmed that it would be publishing this photo as a fresh cover to commemorate Wednesday’s inauguration, saying in a statement: “In recognition of the enormous int...
Jay-Z Launches $10M Fund For Minority-Owned Cannabis Businesses
Source: Robert Kamau / Getty The cannabis industry has most certainly boomed over the past few years, with some projections saying the field could see earnings top $130 billion by 2024 according to some insiders. Jay-Z, seeing the vast potential after launching Monogram, has launched a fund that will put financial muscle behind minority-owned cannabis businesses as he too has dipped his toes into that pool. The Wall Street Journal reports that Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, has launched a $10 million fund in order to support Black and minority cannabis businesses and to attract other interested minds to that space as well. The so-called “green rush” has emerged as a popular business model for investors across the nation but very few of the cannabis companies, including entry into the wide-...

Marshmello Teases Stacked Collaboration With Benny Blanco and Vance Joy
Marshmello has announced he’s locked in his first release of the year, a massive collaboration alongside Benny Blanco and Vance Joy. Luckily, the superstar producer assured fans won’t have to wait long to hear it, as “You” will be out next week. Once again Marshmello proves to be a master at subverting expectations. This collaborative ensemble was far off the radar, and with Mello withholding any preview of the track for now, it seems we’ll be left hanging for a few days until its final release. He also teased a claymation style music video starring the three artists that will likely accompany the track. As 2020 came to a close, Marshmello acknowledged he’d gone particularly quiet on social media. He attributed the break to ...
