Here’s Proof That Chelsea ‘Cannot Get A Break’ On Buckhead Shore
On tonight’s episode, Bethania’s holistic pasta sauce left Chelsea feeling “funny.” “The minute that I realize that my breathing is getting tighter and my mouth is itching, I know that there’s an issue going on,” she said. “The only thing I can think of is I need to check what was in that holistic alfredo sauce bottle because I have really bad allergic reactions to eating a certain kind of nut.” Upon reading the label, the worst-case scenario dawned on Chelsea: “Oh, sh*t. I’m having an allergic reaction right now, and everyone around me is drunk in this house. I don’t think you realize how serious this is; I need someone to call 911 right now because, in a few minutes, I’m not gonna be able to breathe anymore....
Alexander 23’s Gentle Musings On The Aftershock Of Love
By Alex Gonzalez In the three years he’s spent collaborating behind the scenes, the artist Alexander 23 has built an impressive resume. As one of the music industry’s go-to songwriters and producers, he’s collaborated with Olivia Rodrigo, Selena Gomez, and Chelsea Cutler, among others, coining a sound that strikes a chord between sharp lyricism and instrumental melodies. It all started in Deerfield, Illinois, where Alexander 23, born Alexander Glantz, was raised. He became enamored with music “immediately as I gained consciousness,” he says, which he estimates was in “like, the fifth grade.” Around that time, he played on his elementary school’s basketball team, and he enjoyed listening to albums from rock bands like Kansas and Supertramp from beginning to end during the long drives to gam...

Martin Lawrence Dismisses ‘Bad Boys 4’ Cancellation Rumors
In a recent cover interview with EBONY, Martin Lawrence dismissed rumors and speculation surrounding the future of the Bad Boys franchise saying, “We got one more at least.” Following the recent incident at the Oscars, in which Lawrence’s co-star Will Smith publicly slapped Chris Rock on stage, Netflix announced that it will be canceling Bright 2 and reports have indicated that Bad Boys 4 was put on hold. After issuing an apology to his fellow nominees and Rock, Smith resigned from the Academy which later banned him from attending its events for the next decade. While Lawrence didn’t speak directly on the incident, he’s experienced rough patches and public stumbles of his own, leading him to perhaps have more room for empathy for Smith. Back in 1996, Lawrence was seen running into the midd...

Zach Bryan, “Summertime Blues“ [embedded content] Just months after topping the Billboard Country Albums chart with his whopping 34-track album American Heartbreak in May, this prolific, country and Americana-synthesizing artist returns with the nine-track EP Summertime Blues.
