Lil Durk Trolls Tekashi 6ix9ine’s First Week Album Sales
Source: Prince Williams / Getty Looks like after all the hoopla and bragging he’s been doing since being released from prison, Tekashi 6ix9ine‘s post-snitching album Tattle Tales has officially flopped and his rival, Lil Durk is reveling in the fact that Hip-Hop’s “Henry Hill” isn’t reaping the rewards of a federal informant. Originally expected to land at the top of the Billboard charts with at least 150,000 units moved, the 7-day sales of Tekashi’s latest project show that his music just isn’t hitting the same with his fans as it was when he was rolling with Bloods who were extorting and beating him up behind the scenes. Even with the millions of views that his music videos have been racking up and the ridiculous things Tekashi’s been doing and posting on social media, Tattle Tales have ...

Talk about flushing your money down the toilet. This weekend, a collector dished out $1,152 for a yellow Rolling Stones’ tongue logo toilet seat cover during an auction of bassist Bill Wyman’s archival belongings. The purchase via Julien’s Auctions made a splash in the history books, with the cover becoming the most expensive ever sold at an auction. Wyman’s auction also set a few other records.

The Mountain Goats Share Soulful New Track ‘Get Famous’

After Nandi Bushell not only challenged Dave Grohl to a drum battle but also beat him by matching the Foo Fighters frontman beat-for-beat, Grohl is back with the next round in the ongoing competition. “OK Nandi, you got me,” Grohl said sitting in front of his drum kit. “You win round one, but I’ve got something special for you.

10 Years And Counting: This Woman Spent An Entire Decade Dating A Catfish
In 2010, a then-26-year-old Nev Schulman accidentally kickstarted a cultural phenomenon when he, his brother and a friend investigated Nev’s suspicious online relationship with a girl named Megan, only to discover Meagan was a total fraud. The very same year, an aspiring model named Stephanie similarly embarked on a virtual-only relationship with a guy named Danny, and on the latest episode of Catfish, Nev and Kamie hoped Stephanie — still in the throes of her shadowy love affair a decade later — wouldn’t face the same disappointment. The young Florida mom explained to MTV’s detective duo that she first met Danny, a photographer, on Facebook in 2010. Then 17, Stephanie wrote a public message on Danny’s wall asking if he’d like to collaborate on a photoshoot. They never wound up working tog...

Kailyn and Jo agreed to a 50/50 custody agreement for Isaac back on Season 8 of Teen Mom 2. But during this week’s episode, Isaac questioned why he had to go to his dad’s and expressed that he would rather remain at Kailyn’s house. “Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for you, and I know you don’t see it right now, you have to go to your dad’s because he’s fifty percent of your parents,” Kail told her eldest, while en route to Jo’s home. “Every time you go to your dad’s, do you have a good time?” “Yeah, but I do the same thing every day,” Isaac responded. “And I can’t do anything else because he doesn’t plan anything special or anything.” Kail tried her best to remind him that he i...
How Tiny Details Made Almost Famous‘s Brand-New Outfits Look Old (And Iconic)
By Sara Radin “Do you have to be depressed to write a sad song?” teenager William Miller, played by Patrick Fugit, asks rock star Russell Hammond, played by Billy Crudup, backstage. “Do you have to be in love to write a love song? Is a song better when it really happened to you?” The scene in writer-director Cameron Crowe’s 2000 semi-autobiographical film Almost Famous is one of many in which William’s maturity breaks through his youthful exterior and wardrobe (think white t-shirts and misfit jeans). It’s 1973, and William has been given the opportunity of a lifetime — to profile Hammond’s rising band Stillwater for the cover of Rolling Stone. It’s a gig any writer, let alone a 15-year-old, would dream of, and William’s ditched school, along with his overbearing mother, to make it happen. ...

In a brand new interview with MACHINE HEAD frontman Robb Flynn‘s “No Fuckin’ Regrets With Robb Flynn” podcast, NAPALM DEATH singer Mark “Barney” Greenway reflected on the passing of the band’s guitarist Jesse Pintado. After Flynn brought up the fact that Pintado would get into intense confrontations while intoxicated during NAPALM DEATH‘s 1994 tour with MACHINE HEAD, Greenway said: “By that time, he was pretty much a full-on alcoholic. It took his mind in certain directions. I don’t really wanna judge him and say [anything] negative, but things do open up your mind when you’re [taking various] substances or drink or anything like that. So he got into some actually pretty interesting stuff along the way. But it did get pretty...
