How The Conversations About Race On Real World: New York Are Still Commonplace — Nearly 30 Years Later
The year was 1992, and seven diverse strangers were having their “lives taped” in the real world while living in New York. The MTV trailblazers — Becky Blasband, Andre Comeau, Heather B. Gardner, Julie Gentry, Norman Korpi, Eric Nies and Kevin Powell — didn’t know it back in the ’90s, but nearly 30 years later, their raw conversations surrounding race would still be prevalent. During these truly historic times as America demonstrates against racial inequality, stands up to police brutality and demands justice for the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and countless victims of racism, the goal is to look back and examine why these MTV incidents featuring five white cast members and two black cast members still hold weight. First, thes...

Marquee Dayclub at Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas to Resume Poolside DJ Sets
The city of Las Vegas is reigniting the hospitality industry after a citywide shutdown due to COVID-19. With casinos already open, many wondered when the nightclubs and pools would open their doors. Earlier in the month, Flamingo Hotel and Casino quietly reopened their pool for those looking to cool off. Taking things a bit further, Marquee Dayclub at Cosmopolitan has announced that not only is the pool open for business, but there will also be live DJ sets as well. In addition to live music, attendees will also be able to enjoy bottle service, nighttime swims, and more. Both fans and artists alike have been eager to return to shows since the worldwide live music community was decimated by the pandemic. Even though everyone is ready for life to get back to normal, the g...
Sound Director of Sonic the Hedgehog Mixes 33 Tracks from the Series in “DJ Style Party” Album
To this day, Sonic the Hedgehog remains one of the most popular video game series of all-time. Since the release of its first game in 1991, which was created for the fabled Sega Genesis console, the series has unwaveringly reinforced Sega as one of the world’s most renowned video game companies following its domination in the 16-bit era. The popularity of its beloved flagship character, the anthropomorphic, crime-fighting blue hedgehog, has grown to mythical levels since Sonic’s humble beginnings. Originally requested by Sega because the company was seeking a mascot to compete with Nintendo‘s Mario, Sonic eventually became a focal point of Sega’s gaming endeavors and eventually mushroomed into a full-fledged media franchise. To celebrate Sonic’s recent bi...

Queen Becomes Third Rock Band to Appear on UK Stamps
For the third time in history, the UK’s Royal Mail is honoring a legendary band by issuing a set of stamps. After the Beatles in 2007 and Pink Floyd in 2016, Queen will now be seeing their faces in mailboxes in July. The 13-stamp set — featuring eight legendary album covers, a classic photo of the group, and four live shots of the group — releases on July 9 and is now available for preorder. “It’s hard to put into words what I feel when looking at these beautiful stamps,” Queen guitarist Brian May said in a release. “Since we four precocious boys started out on our quest 50 years ago, our lives have been devoted to making our impossible dream come true. Sometimes it’s strange to wake up and realize the position in which we are now held – we have become a national institution! And noth...
If Michael Keaton Returns to Batman, Why Not Tim Burton? Or Danny Elfman?
Michael Keaton is back in the Batcave — or will be in the near future. On Monday, The Hollywood Reporter shook comic book fans everywhere when they reported that the Oscar-nominated veteran will once again return to Wayne Manor for a series of films in the Warner Bros./DC Extended Universe. The report suggests that the studio is attempting to lock the actor into a multi-picture deal that would see his Batman serve as a mentor to younger heroes. More specifically, he could appear in Andy Muschietti’s much-delayed The Flash starring Ezra Miller and the long-gestating Batgirl movie. While that’s all well and good, it would be a total waste of Keaton’s commitment. Sure, audiences would be stoked to see his mug pop up in an alternate universe of The Flash, but they would be far more stoked...
