AC/DC Team Up with DC Shoes for New Footwear and Apparel Line
AC/DC have teamed up with DC Shoes for a new line of footwear and apparel. The merch launches this Saturday (November 7th), just in time for the legendary band’s upcoming album, Power Up, which arrives on November 13th. DC Shoes is known for its skate footwear, so it’s not surprising that the shoes are the highlight of the AC/DC collaboration. A handful of classic DC styles and silhouettes have been adorned with the band’s iconography. One style features the cover of Highway to Hell printed on the canvas area, while others boldly display the band’s logo. The shoes will retail for a suggested price of $55 to $75. In addition to the footwear, the AC/DC x DC Shoes partnership also features beanies, longsleeves, and more as part of the line, ranging from $25 to $75. As AC/DC were a staple musi...
Foo Fighters to Play on Saturday Night Live This Weekend, Tease New Music
Foo Fighters have been announced as the musical guest for this weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live (November 7th) alongside host Dave Chappelle. And by the looks of it, Dave Grohl and co. will be bringing along some new music. Over the last few days, fans have spotted Foo Fighters’ logo projected alongside the letter “X” (the Roman numeral for 10) at various locations in Los Angeles. The projections are accompanied by a short video of a coffin on fire. Similar imagery has also popped up on Spotify. All the while, Foo Fighters have been sending out bi-weekly emails reminiscing about each of their past nine studio albums (an email for their most recent LP, Concrete and Gold, arrived earlier today). Putting the clues together, it certainly seems like Foo Fighters are gearing up to announ...
Lori Loughlin Is a “Wreck” After First Days in Prison: Report
On October 30th, Lori Loughlin began serving a two-month prison sentence for her part in the largest college admissions scandal in American history. So far, it’s not going well — according to Us Weekly, the former star of Full House is said to be a total “wreck.” Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli pleaded guilty to paying $500,000 in bribes to get their daughters accepted into the University of Southern California. The 56-year-old actress prepared to serve her time by hiring a prison coach and learning martial arts, but it doesn’t seem to have helped. According to one source, “Lori really went into prison strong, she had her faith and the support of her family, but the first few days and road ahead are daunting.” Another source who called her a “wreck” explained Loug...
“Baby Shark” Has Dethroned “Despacito” as the Most Viewed Video in YouTube’s History
“Baby Shark” smelled blood in YouTube’s waters and pounced on “Despacito,” dethroning Luis Fonsi‘s global hit for the title of the most viewed video in the platform’s history. Pinkfong‘s “Baby Shark” video was uploaded back on June 17th, 2016 and “Despacito” was published just shy of seven months later, on January 12th, 2017. Due to the crossover appeal of the booming Latin music market, Fonsi’s track became an overnight sensation and skyrocketed to YouTube’s upper echelon of viewership. On the other hand, “Baby Shark” experienced an explosive rise of its own due to the #BabySharkChallenge, which mutated the children’s song into one of the most viral memes in recent mem...
David Guetta to Perform Live from Budapest’s Széchenyi Bath for 2020 MTV EMAs
In a historic moment for the Hungary’s music scene, David Guetta will perform live from Budapest for the 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards. Hungary is the official partner for the award’s ceremony this year. The barnstorming “Titanium” hit-maker will stream his set from the Széchenyi Bath, the largest medicinal bath in Europe. Powered by two massive thermal springs, the bath makes for a stunning locale not only for Guetta, who is no stranger to unique concert destinations, but also the city of Budapest. “Hosting the MTV EMAs, one of the world’s largest and most-viewed music award shows, is a huge opportunity for Hungary and Budapest,” said Alexandra Szentkirályi, government spokesperson for Hungary, in a press release. “Organizing a globa...
“The Most Emotional Song I’ve Ever Written”: Listen to a Preview of Herobust’s Upcoming Track “Remember”
It’s been quite some time since bass music fans have heard new music from Herobust, but they can breathe a sigh of relief because he is on the verge of releasing a new single. Herobust’s last original track came back in November 2019, when he dropped the hip-hop and hard trap hybrid “Smoke.” Almost one year later to the day, he has now taken to social media to share a preview of an upcoming song called “Remember.” While short, the clip reveals a more nuanced side of Herobust with melancholic guitar plucks, warm vocal chops, and airy pads, which combine to concoct a markedly more bubbly sound than his typically heavy-hitting dubstep flair. Herobust explained that he wrote the aching “Remember” to remind everyone about the importance of gr...

The Presidential Election Remains Undecided While Trump Prematurely Gloats
Source: Array / WENN The presidential election will most likely continue to dominate the news cycle for much of the week if not longer as the race is still far too close to call. Despite the slim margins, President Donald Trump has prematurely declared victory over Joe Biden and it remains to be seen how the ending plays out. Election Day (Nov. 3) was, as observed by many a commentator, pundit, and anchor, a nail-biter with Biden owning 238 electoral college votes to Trumps’s 213 according to The Associated Press. And like the presidential election, the U.S. Senate race is also undecided with the Democratic Party gaining one seat thus far but are still sitting at 45-47 with the Republican Party holding the slim majority.

How intelligent, how selfless she is, how she stands up in Hollywood for black women. I’m learning,” Common said. “You know what I mean? She takes it like the law, especially within – any area of life – but then the Hollywood structure, sometimes you have to shake them up and say ‘hey, y’all, this is what it has to be.” Despite rumors that the two had previously called it quits after it was noticed...

Cheeto Trump Checked By Twitter For Lying About Election Results, Biden Still Leading

Foo Fighters to Appear as Musical Guest on Saturday Night Live This Week
Last week, it was announced that Dave Chappelle would host Saturday Night Live this week, but there wasn’t a musical guest…until now. Foo Fighters will be joining Chappelle this week on SNL, the show announced on Wednesday. It was supposed to be a busy year for Dave Grohl and company. Grohl told Bill Simmons earlier this year that the band’s album was done and that he planned on releasing a documentary as well. Foo Fighters were slated to hit the road for a string of dates in support of their 25th anniversary, however, the pandemic changed those plans. Grohl reflected on the band’s anniversary in July and being Nirvana’s “fifth drummer.” Last week, the band shared a goofy spoof commercial mocking Grohl’s addiction to coffee and they also appeared at a virtual show in su...
