First Look: 16 And Pregnant Is Returning To MTV
A brand-new group of young women are about to show MTV viewers what it means to be pregnant at age 16. The re-imagined docu-series — which launched in 2009 and helped reduce teen pregnancy to record lows — will premiere on October 6. These clans are “growing up with every bump.” “I never thought that I’d be a mom,” one cast member declares. The new iteration will follow the unexpected pregnancy journey from multiple perspectives, not just from the young mother. Intimate video confessionals from members of each family will allow the series to more substantively explore the lives of those impacted by the experience, with honesty and empathy. Watch 16 and Pregnant, the series that spawned the Teen Mom franchise, when it debuts on Tuesday, October 6! J...

The Los Angeles-based BLVCK MVGIC banner has made quite a statement with their debut release, which ...

ANTHRAX Bassist FRANK BELLO To Record Debut Solo Album
ANTHRAX bassist Frank Bello has confirmed that he is working on material for his debut solo album. “Just before COVID hit, I was actually gonna go and record a couple of songs with a producer,” he revealed during an appearance on a video podcast hosted by Todd Kerns, the bassist of SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY AND THE CONSPIRATORS (see video below). “And COVID hit, and I kind of backed out. It really hit New York in January and February. I had studio time booked and we were gonna do it, and long story short, I just felt weird. All the musicians involved, we all just decided, ‘You know what? Let’s hold this until we’re a little more clear about what’s going on.'” According to Bello, he was going to record his first solo material in New York C...
LAMB OF GOD’s JOHN CAMPBELL: ‘Our Country Is Being Run By Less-Than-Competent People’
LAMB OF GOD bassist John Campbell recently spoke to Finland’s Kaaos TV about how people in his hometown of Richmond, Virginia are dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. He said (see video below): “There aren’t people dying in the streets, [but] the virus is here and you can catch it if you’re out in public doing things. “Most of the time when I go to the store, almost everyone has masks now, but that took a while in this area for people to really start putting masks on when they go to the store,” he continued. “So I’m hopeful that we’re getting people to behave in ways they need to to stop the spread of the virus, but until there’s a vaccine, leaving it up to humans is a sketchy thing.” When interviewer Arto Mäenpää pointed ...

Transgender Metalhead Satanist Wins Republican Nomination for County Sheriff
Wait until Fox News gets a load of this: A transgender metalhead satanist has won the Republican nomination for Cheshire County Sheriff in Keene, New Hampshire. Aria DiMezzo earned 4,211 votes from registered Republicans in a primary held Tuesday. Granted, DiMezzo ran unopposed and still has to compete in the general election against popular incumbent Eli Rivera, a Democrat seeking his fifth term. But DiMezzo was still amazed that so many registered Republicans voted for her. “I went into it expecting that I would lose the primary to a write-in candidate, because I didn’t think that so many voters were just… completely and totally oblivious about who they are voting for,” she wrote in a blog post. She continued, “Because the fact is that you didn’t bother. You trusted the system. You trust...
Chris Cornell’s Estate Shares Previously Unreleased Version of “Only These Words”: Stream
Chris Cornell’s daughter, Toni, is celebrating her 16th birthday today. To mark the occasion, the rock legend’s estate has revealed a very special gift: a previously unreleased version of “Only These Words”. “Only These Words” officially appeared as part of Cornell’s 2015 solo album Higher Truth. A sweet, lullaby-like ode to his daughters, it saw the Soundgarden frontman repeatedly croon the words, “I love you.” According to an Instagram post from his family, today’s unearthed version is the true “original” one, even more tender and sparse than what was later included on Higher Truth. “Your dad would be so proud of the smart, strong, beautiful, and confident woman you are growing up to be,” reads the Instagram caption dedicated to Toni. Editors’ Picks “You are so very loved, and you ...
