PAUL STANLEY Wonders How ‘Presidential’ It Is Of DONALD TRUMP To Blast His Detractors On Twitter
Paul Stanley has wondered how “presidential” it is for Donald Trump to spend so much time on Twitter blasting his detractors. Earlier today (Tuesday, September 8), the KISS frontman took to the social media platform to share a Mediaite article about President Donald Trump‘s latest Twitter rampage against his political enemies, and he included the following message: “Controversy… Is this what a president should be doing in the morning? Is it presidential? No opinion from me. I’m asking YOU! Tell me.” Trump reportedly tweeted and retweeted more than 50 times this morning, lashing out at the media, his former lawyer Michael Cohen, Democtratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, the NBA and Black Lives Matter, among others. This is not the first time Stanl...
OZZY OSBOURNE: New ‘Pop! Rocks’ Figure From FUNKO Coming To HOT TOPIC
The popular vinyl collectible company Funko — best known for its big-headed Pop! figures — has released its latest artist collaboration: legendary heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne. The figure is inspired by Ozzy‘s latest album, “Ordinary Man”, and is exclusive to Hot Topic. Ozzy previously collaborated with Funko back in 2011, but that figure has been out of production for years, and reportedly fetches high prices on the secondhand market. Other artists who have gotten the Pop! Rocks treatment in the past include KISS, IRON MAIDEN, METALLICA, GUNS N’ ROSES, AC/DC, SLAYER, DEF LEPPARD, Rob Zombie, SLIPKNOT, GHOST and MOTÖRHEAD.

Nike Reveals Freddy Krueger Sneakers For This Halloween
One, two, Nike’s coming for you. Three, four, better check your stores. As Bloody Disgusting reports, the sneaker conglomerate is heading to Elm Street for the Halloween season as they’ve just unveiled a new pair of Air Max 95s inspired by Freddy Krueger. As you can see below, the sneaks are a mix of “Velvet Brown”, “University Red”, and “Team Red”, three colors lifted straight from the dream demon’s iconic sweater. There are also a few quirks to the design, including bloody Swooshes on the heels. Not gonna lie, Nike could have leaned a little harder into the red and green, but we dig the shoes nonetheless. The mesh really adds to the overall sweater aesthetic, and the little red bubbles on the soles just demand to be squeezed. Look for the sneakers to drop sometime in October — hopefully ...
Jensen Ackles Teases More Supernatural: “I Do Feel Like This Isn’t the Long Goodbye”
Supernatural comes to an end on The CW this November. However, as fans have learned through 15 years and 15 seasons of the sci-fi horror series, nothing is ever really over. That appears to be the mindset of its leading star Jensen Ackles. In a recent appearance on Michael Rosenbaum’s Inside of You podcast, Ackles suggested that the upcoming series finale isn’t exactly the end of the road for the Winchester brothers. In fact, he even used that very metaphor. “I’ve always thought that there was a possibility of five years down the road, getting the call and saying, ‘Hey, let’s do a little short-order action for a streaming network and bring it back for six episodes,’” Ackles explained Rosenbaum. He continued, seemingly doubling down on the notion, adding: “I do feel like this isn’t the long...

As part of its Academy Aperture 2025 initiative, Academy governors DeVon Franklin and Jim Gianopulos headed a task force “to encourage equitable representation on and off screen in order to better reflect the diversity of the movie-going audience.” What they’ve designed with that group are four different standards for a Best Picture c...

And, so far, only an estimated 12 states are willing to show his name on a ballot. NYMag breaks down the numerous issues Ye’s campaign is battling as of late.

Few producers have the delicate touch and sense of timing to pull this off, but Lane 8 manages to tailor his set to the surrounding environment perfectly. Festivals such as Holy Ship have previously entrusted the “Fingerprint” producer ...
