11-Year-Old Black Girl Knocked Unconscious After Telling Racist “My Black Is Beautiful”
Source: SDI Productions / Getty A community in Kansas is looking for answers after an 11-year old girl was attacked for the color of her skin. According to published reports, 11-year old Nevaeh Thomas was playing with a group of friends outside an apartment complex near Shawnee school in Kansas City, Kansas, when an older boy began calling her racial slurs. Not one to back down, little Naveah stood firmly asserting to the bully that her “Black is beautiful”, it was then, mother Brandi Stewart told local FOX affiliate WDAF-TV, that the things turned violent and the teen struck her daughter with a pole–knocking her unconscious. “She suffered from a concussion,” Brandi Stewart said during the interview. “She has stitches inside and outside of her cheek, she lost her tooth.” Stewart also added...
Demi Lovato Says Ahmaud Arbery’s Death Sparked Awareness Of Her White Privilege
Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN Demi Lovato’s time in quarantine has had the songstress under serious reflection about her life, embarking her in quite a soul searching adventure down the depths of what us normies in society call real-life struggles. Now the social justice warrior is taking action through her social media platforms to advocate for social injustices, gay rights, and Black Lives Matter causes. Buzzfeed reported on Lovato’s opinion piece for Vogue where she shared that her long time away from Hollywood’s spotlight is when she began to question what was happening in the world. This shift started her self-education on society’s latest uprisings, specifically when Ahmaud Arbery’s death took the nation by storm. Scroll hard through Black Lives Matter protests p...
METALLICA Could Write And Record New Music This Fall, Says LARS ULRICH
In a new interview with NME, METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich was asked if he and his bandmates have found the coronavirus lockdown period creatively productive. He responded: “I’m not sure — it’s not easy, but we’ve been doing what we can. We’ve been exchanging ideas back and forth. “The hardest thing about being in four different spaces is that there’s no software that can have us all play in real time to reach other. So I can play something and send it to the next guy and then he can play on it and he can send it to the next guy, or vice versa, but we can’t play at the same time so it takes the impulsivity and the momentary energy out of the occasion. “I’ve talked to some people in technology about how close we are to being able to all ...
Even The Devil Believes – STRYPER
RATING: 4/10 As THE DAMNED memorably put it back in 1979: “religion doesn’t mean a thing/it’s just another way to be right-wing”. Not that the STRYPER album is full of paeans to Mike Pence, of course. Always a much better band than their vexed reputation would suggest, the Orange County crew made a handful of great records in the ’80s and generally avoided being laughed out of town by being a reliably over-the-top live band, and, if we’re honest, a bit of a novelty. Unfortunately, even several decades later, nothing quite takes the edge off a heavy metal record like constant references to God’s love and the power of prayer. At least with STRYPER, you know it’s coming, but it’s still a bit like biting into a delicious cheeseburger and be...
GEORGE LYNCH Says THE END MACHINE’s Second Album Will Be ‘More DOKKEN-Centric’
George Lynch has confirmed to KNAC.COM that there are plans for another album from THE END MACHINE, his collaborative project with his ex-DOKKEN bandmate Jeff Pilson (bass) and former LYNCH MOB and current WARRANT singer Robert Mason. “We are working on the second THE END MACHINE record,” the guitarist said. “Jeff and I just finished writing the songs for the record. Robert will be working on vocals, melodies and lyrics. We’re bringing in ‘Mild’ Steve Brown [laughs] who is the brother of ‘Wild’ Mick Brown [ex-DOKKEN drummer, who played on the first THE END MACHINE album], who, as you know, is retired. Steve is wonderful. He’s younger and he has that same ‘Wild’ Mick personality and he plays in the same style. He plays just l...

STAIND frontman Aaron Lewis has put his Massachusetts home up for sale for $3.5 million. Lewis bought he 14,000-square-foot Worthington home for for $475,000 in 2001, around the time STAIND‘s “Break The Cycle” spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Family Test Positive for Coronavirus
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, his wife, and their two children have tested positive for the coronavirus. The blockbuster star confirmed the news in a candid video posted to his Instagram account on Wednesday evening. “I can tell you that this has been one of the emotional and challenging things that we’ve ever had to endure as a family — and for me personally too as well ,” Johnson explained, adding some levity: “And I’ve gone through some doozies in the past. I’ve gotten knocked about and got my ass kicked with some challenges…” Johnson went on to stress the importance of protecting his family and says the whole experience has been a “kick in the gut.” The good news is that they’re reportedly on the mend. “But I’m happy to tell you guys that we, as a family, are good. We are on the other end...
What’s Next for Cobra Kai?
The future is bright for Cobra Kai. Two years after it first premiered on YouTube Red — ha, anyone remember YouTube Red? – The Karate Kid spinoff series is a pop culture phenomenon. Lesson learned? Never doubt the influence of Netflix. For die-hard fans, this development is both aggravating and refreshing. As Johnny Lawrence might say, “Where the hell have you wimps been all this time?” But then again, as Daniel LaRusso might wisely counter, “More fans, more future.” After all, without Netflix, there was no telling whether Cobra Kai would live past its forthcoming third season. If you recall, YouTube was in no place to commit to a fourth season, which means the doors would have most certainly closed on this dojo. Editors’ Picks Given the response and the fact that the show has been N...
Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman to Lead Paul Thomas Anderson’s ’70s Drama
The stars are aligning for Paul Thomas Anderson. According to The Hollywood Reporter, HAIM singer-songwriter Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman, son of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, will make their feature debuts in his untitled ’70s coming-of-age film. Details remain scarce, but it’s being reported that Haim and Hoffman will be the lead stars of the ensemble drama that’s set in the San Fernando Valley. Together, they join star Bradley Cooper, who was previously attached to the project. Both castings make sense. Anderson has been steadily working with HAIM since 2017’s Something to Tell You. He also has a long history with the Hoffman family, having worked with the late Oscar winner on nearly every one of his directorial efforts. Editors’ Picks This is Anderson’s first film since 2017’...
