Conan Gray Transforms Into the Girl His Crush Loves in Thought-Provoking ‘Heather’ Video
On the topic of love, it really, really sucks when your crush doesn’t love you back. Even worse, it sucks more when they love someone else. Conan Gray explores those feelings of envy and yearning in his wistful new “Heather” video. “Why would you ever kiss me? I’m not even half, as pretty / You gave her your sweater / It’s just polyester, but you like her better / I wish I were Heather,” he sings in the chorus, as the clip shows the 21-year-old singer-songwriter at home, slowly dressing himself and styling his hair to how Heather might. “When I was in high school, I had a crush on the same one person all four years. But that one person did not love me back, instead my crush liked a girl named heather,” Gray said in a press statemen...
Halle Berry Shows Support for Megan Thee Stallion After Shooting: ‘F–k This Sh–‘
More than a month after she was shot in the feet after a party in the Hollywood Hills, Megan Thee Stallion revealed for the first time Thursday night (Aug. 20) that Tory Lanez was the person who pulled the trigger. “Yes … Tory shot me. You shot me and you got your publicist and your people going to these blogs lying,” she said during an Instagram Live. “Stop lying. Why lie? I don’t understand.” To explain why reports originally said she cut her foot on glass, Meg explained that she was worried for her safety. “I didn’t tell the police nothing because I didn’t want us to get in no more trouble,” she added. Actress Halle Berry took to Twitter to support the “Hot Girl” rapper on Friday afternoon (Aug. 21) after reading the news. “Peace. Protection. Respect. For ALL Bla...

Jack Sherman, Former Red Hot Chili Peppers Guitarist, Dies at 64
Jack Sherman, who was the second guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, has died at the age of 64. The band confirmed the news in a post on their Instagram account. “We of the RHCP family would like to wish Jack Sherman smooth sailing into the worlds beyond, for he has passed.

DOKKEN’s DON DOKKEN: ‘I Have Not Spoken To MICK BROWN Since The Day He Left The Band’
Don Dokken spoke to Full In Bloom about DOKKEN‘s longtime drummer “Wild” Mick Brown, who left the band last year due to health issues. He said (hear audio below): “I remember the day he quit. We were at the airport. And we knew he was struggling — his knees hurt, his arms hurt, his elbows hurt, his fingers hurt. And I remember he pulled me aside. We only had three shows to go, and we had a couple of days off. And we were standing outside in front of the airport, and he says, ‘Look, man, I can’t do this anymore. I just can’t.’ And I said, ‘You’re not happy?’ And he goes, ‘No. I just can’t physically do it. I’m done. I’ve been playing drums for 50 years, since I was 10 years old, and my body is worn out...
DEE SNIDER Defends His Right To Speak Out On Political Issues: ‘We Should Be Allowed To Express Ourselves’
Dee Snider has defended his right to speak out on political issues, saying that he “should be allowed to express” himself publicly. The TWISTED SISTER frontman, who got to know President Donald Trump personally after appearing more than once on “The Celebrity Apprentice”, has been an outspoken critic of America’s 45th president, tweeting incessantly against Trump‘s administration and blasting the billionaire real estate mogul as “a commie-loving traitor” who is prostituting our democracy. Snider talked to the “Appetite For Distortion” podcast about the fact that many believe celebrities are too far removed from the real world of ordinary people and that they should keep their mouths shut when it comes to politics. He said (hear au...
Venus Skytrip – PSYCHLONA
RATING: 8/10 Despite being intermittently denied the chance to enjoy a hot, hazy summer, we always have records as joyously heavy and fuzzed-up as this to keep the sizzling dream alive. PSYCHLONA have already impressed, rising nonchalantly to the top of the aspiring stoner and space rock piles at their first attempt on 2018’s “Mojo Rising”, but “Venus Skytrip” is a much more absorbing affair than its predecessor. Opener “Blast Off” is simply brilliant. Yeah, we’ve heard this lumbering, doomy strain of psychedelic rock before, but PSYCHLONA nail it with such verve that it feels genuinely fresh here. With a pulsing, krautrock undertow and plenty of lysergic embellishments, it’s got all the attitude and punch of MONSTER MAGNET at their swa...
