Eric Andre’s Viral Stunt with John Cena Landed Him in the Hospital
The Eric Andre Show is full of unpredictable moments and painful-looking surprises. According to comedian and host Eric Andre, a lot of those surprises actually hurt. Case and point: the most recent sneak preview of Season 5 captured John Cena hurling Andre into a shelf — a viral stunt that landed him in the hospital. Andre explained the whole saga during his recent stop on Jimmy Kimmel Live. When asked by Kimmel — who once was a former guest on his show — if being thrown by Cena hurt, Andre confirmed the obvious, though he absolved the WWE superstar of any blame. “John Cena did the stunt right, but we prepped for the stunt wrong,” he said. “That metal shelf came over and clocked me in the head and I got concussed.” Without wasting a second, Andre was immediately taken to the hospital to m...

John Frusciante Reveals New Album Maya: Stream
John Frusciante has revealed his new electronic album Maya. Stream it below with Apple Music or Spotify.

Nicki Minaj Drops A Preview Of Her Newborn Son
Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN Nicki Minaj officially became a mommy a few weeks ago. In new age rapper fashion, she just recently gave fans a preview, a teaser if you will (a snippet?), of her newborn son. “Happy Anniversary, my love ♥️,” was the caption she used for a photo of her son’s tiny little right foot on Wednesday (Oct. 21). The anniversary in question would be her one year of matrimony to hubby Kenneth Petty. Minaj and petty were married in a small ceremony back in October 2019. After keeping her pregnancy on the lee low for the most part, the new bundle of joy arrived September 30. Nevertheless, Minaj still managed to hop on tracks with Tekashi 6ix9ine, to the dislike of many, and most recently linked up with Sada Baby for the “Whole Lotta Choppas (Remix)” just last w...
Report: GENE SIMMONS Is Moving To Washington To Escape Tax Burden Of Living In California

In addition to a 16,000-square-foot mansion, there is a swimmi...

Ashton Irwin’s Brave New World
Not gonna lie: I’m not a fan of 5 Seconds of Summer. That said, I’m not a “non-fan”, either. There’s a distinct difference between disliking a band’s music and truly not knowing too much about it. I fall into the latter category for absolutely no other reason than lack of exposure and selective listening. Some might say I’m not and never was their target audience. Some might be right about that. Point being, when I heard Ashton Irwin’s solo debut Superbloom I was listening without any preconceived notion of what it was supposed to be, though prepared for whatever boy-band-drummer-makes-solo-album might bring. Before listening, I knew Ash’s influences included Foo Fighters, Nick Drake, Helmet, Silverchair, Stone Temple Pilots, My Bloody Valentine, Curve. How, I wondered, would the sen...
