Source: NBC / Getty Chrissy Teigen is taking her foot out of her mouth after making a tasteless off color joke about Megan Thee Stallion.

Megan Thee Stallion Opens Up About Being Shot: ‘The Worst Experience of My Life’

Today (July 27), Megan opened up about the incident in an Instagram Live session and gave her side of what happened to in order to eliminate any speculation about what happened.

Watch GWAR’s Second Hilarious CNN Interview
GWAR singer Blöthar the Berserker detailed the melodic focus that informed their recent unplugged session with The AV Club, telling CNN, “The focus is more on harmony and more on melody than it is on rhythm and aggression, and the same thing is true for the voice.” The metal band’s recent, home-recorded mini-set — part of the publication’s AVC Sessions: House Shows series — featured acoustic strums, hard rock belting, and plenty of stuffed animals. And that format, the Berserker said, allowed a different vantage point to survey their songs. “It has some depth, as far as harmonic progressions go,” he notes. “Most heavy metal does. Most hard rock does.” The vocalist, calling GWAR the “all-time heavyweight champions” of AV Club’s cover song contest series, also detailed recording th...
Melissa Talks Realizing She Was Pregnant On The Challenge — And Those Kyle Rumors
Melissa stated that she couldn’t keep calm and “carry on” during the Total Madness final, and the Brit ultimately quit the last leg of Season 35. And during Part 1 of the reunion, the Vendettas rookie teared up as she watched the footage because what she didn’t know (for sure) at the time was that she was pregnant. A Challenge first: taking on the final with a bun in the oven! “I was thinking to [my]self, why am I struggling so much? I was at peak fitness,” Melissa, who welcomed a baby girl named Vienna in May, recounted to her fellow competitors and host Vernon Davis. “Why am I so breathless?” Total Madness champion Johnny Bananas made a fair point: “It was because you were competing for two people!” But Melissa was aware somethi...

Jean Dawson Wants His Debut Album To Sound Like Rick Ross At A Rave
On his sunny-yet-macabre song “Clear Bones,” Los Angeles-based artist Jean Dawson pleads with death. “Mr. Reaper, will you wait on me?” he sings, asking to have a bit more time. It’s a genuine request, and Dawson has reason to ask it. On a recent call with MTV News, the 24-year-old Dawson mentions a time in his past — “breaking shit, burning shit” — when he lived more carelessly. “A lot of it is fun and games, and you don’t realize, oh shit, I could die,” he said. “Like, yo, I’ve done a lot of shit where I could have been killed, and I haven’t yet. So it’s probably time where I become way more cognizant of the stuff that I’m doing, or I’m going to end up meeting Mr. Reaper.” This may expla...

Louis Futon, Big Gigantic’s Dominic Lalli Among 6 Artists to Play “Pass the Beat” on New Mega-Collaboration [Premiere]
In the midst of the COVID-19-induced worldwide lockdown, a number of musicians across many genres played “pass the beat,” a trend in which each participant virtually contributes something to a song. Back in March, an emerging electronic producer kicked off a challenge that would ultimately see seven artists collaborate on a new track. The fruits of their labor are finally realized with the release of “Twitter Telephone.” In the first of a series of tweets, the stem and rules were shared. The tagged producer in the post was tasked with adding something to the track before uploading it and tagging the artist they’d like to see next. Starting with Ian Ewing, the tune was altered by Dominic Lalli of Big Gigantic, Martin Vogt (als...
