Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Roasts GOP Congressman For Half-Baked Apology
Source: Stephanie Keith / Getty Tempers are still hot after congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received a half-hearted apology from a washed GOP colleague who recently called her a “f*cking b*tch” on the steps of Capitol Hill. The Hill broke the news of the shocking exchange after a reporter witnessed the incident first hand on Monday (July 20). Representative Ted Yoho, Republican of Florida, was angered by AOC’s remarks from a July 9 virtual town hall where she stated the recent spike in crime stems from “economic desperation” caused by the coronavirus pandemic and not from lack of support for police. This angered Yoho to confront the congresswoman and verbally accost her. After public backlash, Yoho took to the House floor on Wednesday to deliver an AOC name-free ...

The vulnerable tune finds the 24-year-old remembering happy childhood moments with his grandfather, who died in June 2019. “Remember the way you drove those London roads, had to hold on for my life / You were like fee-fi-fo-fum coming up the stairs / We’d laugh, me and Jack, saying, ‘Papa I’m scared’ / Now I’m really scared,” he mellifluously sings in the chorus against a soft, nostalgic instrumental.

Here’s Who Won ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars’ 5
On Friday (July 24) evening, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season 5 crowned a winner-winner chicken dinner. After a performance to RuPaul’s “Clap Back” that found each finalist delivering their own lyrics and executing some seriously sickening choreo courtesy Billboard cover star Todrick Hall, the final three – Jujubee, Miz Cracker and Shea Couleé – lip synched to LGBTQ icon Janelle Monae’s “Make Me Feel” to secure the top spot in the Drag Race hall of fame. Dripping in blue and white eleganza, Couleé secured the top spot after a near miss in season 9, which famously saw Sasha Velour (rose) petal her way to the crown during a Whitney Houston lip sync. This time, however, the “Collide” singer nabbed the crown. “Two time’s the ...
Shea Couleé’s 5 Best Musical Moments on ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’
Spoilers ahead for the finale of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 5’ At long last, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 5 has come to an end — after a smashing performance to RuPaul’s new song “Clap Back,” and one final lip sync to Janelle Monáe’s “Make Me Feel,” RuPaul declared the winner … season 9’s Shea Couleé!

Berlin Searches for Outdoor Venues to Revitalize Club Scene in the Wake of COVID-19
Berlin’s economic minister Romona Pop is calling upon district mayors to help revive their suffering club scene. “Clubs and bars are suffering economically during the corona crisis,” Pop told the Berliner Morgenpost. That’s why, in addition to providing immediate aid, we want to create legal opportunities to party in public areas for the clubs and Berliners.” “Unfortunately, the time window for this is short, as the summer months are of central importance for open-air festivals,” she continued. “It is therefore important to quickly put the industry in a position to realize at least part of its revenues via open-air events this summer.” Clubs in the city closed on March 14th, 2020.
