J Balvin’s New Doll Is Ready For Action
Fans of J Balvin can now literally play with him — sort of. The singer has again partnered with Guess and now, with pop culture e-commerce platform NTWRK, to launch a 12-inch, fully posable J Balvin action figure doll. The muscular mini-Balvin has short-cropped blonde hair and arrives shirtless, the better to show off his buff body and tattoos, faithful replicas of what the real Balvin has. He’s wearing yellow shorts, white sneakers, a Guess necklace and arrives with an additional Guess outfit that includes a matching yellow hoodie. The doll was inspired by Balvin’s Guess collection and was designed by Balvin together with Guess and NTWRK, with Balvin giving input through the process and developing the look of the packaging. The caveat? It’s a very limited edition. Only 500 figures w...
Tom Petty’s Wallflowers & All the Rest Due Out in October
The release of Tom Petty’s Wildflowers & All the Rest has been discussed for a while now, and finally, the Petty Estate has announced a release date. The long-awaited reissue has been slated to release on Oct. 15 via Warner Records. The box set celebrates his 1994 album, co-produced with Rick Rubin and Mike Campbell, and was curated by his daughters, Adria and Annakim Petty, and wife Dana Petty. “I broke through to something else,” Petty told Rolling Stone in a 2014 interview. My personal life came crashing down, and it derailed me for a while. But I was at the top of my game during that record.” As with many special reissue drops, you can get Wildflowers & All the Rest in various formats including a variety of CD/LP combo sets that progressively include more tracks. And then there...
#BRUHNews: Stacey Dash’s Husband Says He Was Hypnotized Into Marrying Her
Source: Sheri Determan/WENN.com / WENN Stacy Dash’s soon to be ex-husband isn’t wrapped too tight. After an already questionable decision of becoming the Clueless actress’ 4th/ hubbie, he is now claiming it only went down because he was hypnotized. Say what now? TMZ reports that son, Jeffrey Marty, got caught up in the rapture of love, via church, and wants the marriage annulled. Stacey’s estranged lawyer hubby, Jeffrey Marty, filed new court docs in response to Stacey’s divorce petition … and he’s asking a judge to annul the marriage, something Stacey herself doesn’t appear to oppose. Jeff claims he only took his vows after Stacey’s pastor put some serious religious pressure on him. He says they got hitched on April 6, 2018 — but that’s only because 10 days prior, he claims her pastor “un...
Remy Ma Compares Anti-Maskers To People Who Don’t Wear Condoms
Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN We’ve all seen the videos and news about anti-maskers refusing to wear face masks into public establishments and people actually throwing COVID parties in defiance of social distancing rules, but while most would expect this kind of behavior out of pro-Trumpers who believe every lie out of the Racist-In-Chief’s mouth, it’s a bit disturbing to see people in our community join in on such reckless behavior. Remy Ma for one is fed up with people who refuse to rock a face mask and risk not only contracting but spreading the deadly virus and compared anti-maskers to “dirty” people who refuse to wear condoms during sex. We mean, yeah, we can understand that comparison. In an IG story posted last night (August 18), the “Lean Back” rapper made a PSA about any and everyone...
The Blackberry Ain’t Dead Yet, A New 5G Model Powered By Android Is Dropping In 2021
Source: Blackberry / Blackberry In a world dominated by keyboard-less smartphones like Apple’s iPhone and Samsung’s Galaxy flagship devices, Blackberry refuses to get sucked in the cellphone abyss never to return. Let’s just call the Blackberry a zombie at this point because no matter how many times it gets killed, somehow, it finds new life. After 2018’s Blackberry Key 2 flopped very hard, we thought it the nostalgic smartphone was going to get sent off to greener pastures. BUT, once again, we were wrong. A new Texas startup called OnwardMobility is taking on the Blackberry license once optioned to Chinese phone manufacture TCL. It is promising to release a 5G model of Barack Obama’s favorite means of communication in 2021. Oh, and yes, it will still be powered by Android and will h...

What’s Streaming on Hulu in September 2020
Hulu is prepping for spooky season in September 2020. Next month, the streamer is unlocking a bunch of tricks and treats: Wes Craven’s The Last House on the Left, Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead II, James Cameron’s The Terminator, and — get this — every single movie in the Twilight series.

Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) “Would Sign” Petition to Remake Final Game of Thrones Season
Add Tywin Lannister to the list of those “disappointed” by Game of Thrones’ ending. In an interview with Pop Culture, actor Charles Dance was asked about remaking the final season, and said, “Well if there was a petition, I would sign it.” HBO’s beloved fantasy series ended in a controversy over quality — for cast and crew as well as audiences. It was such a divisive season that fans started a petition to remake the entire thing, a move series star Sophie Turner called “disrespectful.” An HBO boss rejected that petition, while Nikolaj Coster-Waldau argued that the 32 Emmy nominations “validate the writing.” Still, one GoT director said the series finale felt “really rushed,” and many viewers agree to this day: that fan petition has surpassed 1.8 million signatures. Dance seemed u...
The Invisible Man Reveals Truths About Abusive Relationships
Listen via Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Play | Stitcher | RSS “He said that wherever I went, he would find me, walk right up to me, and I wouldn’t be able to see him.” Leigh Whannell’s reimagining of The Invisible Man will likely be a high point in the horror genre for 2020. Tense and terrifying, it’s also a clever and timely depiction of intimate partner violence, a topic too often kept in the shadows. Continuing our two-part series on toxic and abusive relationships, this episode of Psychoanalysis examines the lasting effects of this kind of trauma, ways to support survivors, and the complicated nature of leaving. Fair warning that this episode goes to some heavy places as we discuss our own experiences, but, as always, we ground the conv...
Dan Deacon Releases Original Score for HBO’s Well Groomed: Stream
This past January saw Dan Deacon drop his first album in four years, Mystic Familiar. The Baltimore-based musician is back now with his second project of 2020: his original score for HBO’s Well Groomed. Well Groomed is a documentary about the colorful and wonderfully absurd subculture of competitive dog grooming. The film premiered on HBO in late 2019, but today marks the official release of Deacon’s accompanying soundtrack. Much like the doc, the music is playful and fun in nature. Its 14 arrangements also find the electronic music producer Deacon expanding his sound palette by dabbling with more earthy and organic instrumentation. Previous collaborators like pianist M.C. Schmidt of Matmos, vibraphonist Rich O’Meara, and guitarist Steve Strohmeier assisted Deacon in creating the soni...
Groove Armada Announces First Album in 10 Years and Drops New Single “Lover 4 Now”
It’s been 10 long years since fans of Groove Armada have received a new album from the beloved duo, but Tom Findlay and Andy Cato have officially announced that one is on the way. The eleven-track Edge Of The Horizon LP will arrive on October 2nd but fear not—they’ve dropped a new single to hold you over in the meantime. They begin the voyage to Edge Of The Horizon with “Lover 4 Now,” featuring the godfather of UK garage, Todd Edwards. It’s a bright, funky track that transports back to an 80s Italo disco, where synthesizers reigned supreme. With inspiration from Hall & Oates and Prince, the production and vocals on the track are a certified dance party starter. The Grammy-nominated duo proves that they are still the leading comman...
