Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN Others will treat you the way you teach them to treat you. This a lesson that a major network learned from not putting enough respect on their top performer’s name. As spotted on Vulture Shonda Rhimes is planning to make boss moves in 2021 and beyond. In a recent interview with the The Hollywood Reporter the writer-producer will finally see the fruit of labor with regards to her new deal with Netflix. Three years ago the creative jumped ship from ABC to the streaming giant but it never made clear what prompted her to hit the eject button from what seemed to many as a super cozy situation. But everything that glitters isn’t gold. Rhimes cites that the pressure of delivering great content for a network was at times unbearable. I felt like I was d...
LisaRaye McCoy Reveals Stacey Dash Brought Security After On Set Altercation
Source: Leon Bennett / Getty LisaRaye McCoy is about that life and one year after setting the internet on fire with news she had to show former MAGA mouthpiece, Stacey Dash, she’s back with a little more tea to add to it. During her recent interview with longtime friend, Vivica Fox, for her podcast Hustling with Vivica Fox, McCoy revealed new details about the verbal spat she had with her former co-star Stacey Dash on the set of the VH1 show, Single Ladies. “At first she was real cool. I’m just going to put that out there. She was dating somebody. She was happy,” LisaRaye said. But as McCoy revealed back in 2019 during TVOne’s Uncensored, the “cool” didn’t last too long after long hours left the now shamed actress “frustrated” due to the amount of time she had to spend on se...

So that’s why everything is up in the air, man. No one knows what’s gonna happen with this.” According to Jason, the last seven months have been particularly...

Forgotten Days – PALLBEARER
RATING: 10/10 It didn’t take long for PALLBEARER to perfect their masterful mix of melancholy and beauty after their 2012 debut, “Sorrow and Extinction”. Heck, that mix was damn near perfect coming out of the starting gate. It’s been a testament to their mastery of songcraft and melodic doom metal that even through minor tweaks here and there on subsequent records, their musical concoctions still remain emotionally and sonically powerful from the first moment a listener presses play. The overall production of their newest record, “Forgotten Days”, is grungier and dirtier than their last couple of records. The record also has their catchiest and most straightforwardly metal song, as well as what may be the most goth song of their career. The fact that PAL...

Excision Shares Full Subsidia Virtual Stage Set from Lost Lands’ Couch Lands Stream
Dubstep fans rejoice: Excision has released his full Subsidia virtual stage set from Lost Lands‘ Couch Lands stream.

In a collaboration with Mattel, The Rocket Man himself has decked out the beloved children’s toy with his signature getup: tinted glasses, a purple bowler hat, bomber jacket, platform boots, and flared jeans emblazoned with his initials.
