Home Renovating Gets Horny in Trailer for How to Build a Sex Room: Watch
When it comes to home renovation shows, the opportunities for spinoffs are endless. Nothing proves this point better than Netflix’s latest addition to the genre, How to Build a Sex Room, which just released its first trailer. How to Build a Sex Room comes from ITV America’s High Noon Entertainment and is executive produced by Adam Sher, Jim Berger, Scott Feeley, Corrina Robbins, and Sarah Howell. In the series, premiering July 8th, luxury interior designer Melanie Rose classes up the sex dungeon, offering couples a room that’s both posh and seductive. “When people hear the words ‘sex room,’ they concentrate on the word ‘sex,’ and that connotates [sic] dirty, disgusting,” Rose explains in the preview. “But when I design them, they can be beautiful.” Advertisement Related Video Wit...

Kathleen Kennedy Is Open to a Second Season for ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’
Now that Obi-Wan Kenobi has wrapped up over on Disney+ with this week’s finale, hopes of a second season have been expressed by Star Wars fans, and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy says she’s listening closely. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight in a recent interview, the Star Wars lead says that while Obi-Wan Kenobi was set out to be a limited series, she’s open to making season two of the show provided there’s strong demand from fans. “But I think if there’s huge engagement and people really want more Obi-Wan, we’ll certainly give that consideration because the fans, they speak to us,” Kennedy explained. “And if we feel like, ‘OK, there’s a real reason to do this; it’s answering the why then,’ then we’ll do it.

Prime Video Unveils First Look at Orcs From ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’
IGN has shared an exclusive first look at the Orcs from Prime Video‘s upcoming The Lord of the Rings series, The Rings of Power. The Orcs, which are essential in The Lord of the Rings universe, capture the essence of what audiences are used to in the films but are also presented a little differently due to the show’s timing; The Rings of Power take place in the Second Age, shortly after their species was almost extinct due to the War of Wrath in the First Age. Jamie Wilson, who leads the show’s prosthetic department, told IGN that showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay felt the importance to treat the Orcs “as their own culture and explore their world on its own two legs in its own right.” “We spent a lot of time talking about what it would mean to be an Orc in the Second Age,” added exe...
Artist x Artist: Taylor Momsen x Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron of Soundgarden
When the most recent Pretty Reckless album was released in 2021, we went deep with singer/bandleader Taylor Momsen. In the interview, she told us influential Soundgarden was on her and how being on tour with the band in 2017 and opening for them the night of Chris Cornell deeply impacted her. In fact, Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron both appeared on “Only Love Can Save Me Now.” In 2019. Momsen sang “Rusty Cage,” “Drawing Flies” and “Loud Love” with the surviving Soundgarden members at the Cornell tribute show I Am the Highway at the Forum in Los Angeles. Recently, put Momsen, Thayil, and Cameron together, all before the release of the duo’s new project, 3rd Secret, released its debut album. And of course, before Momsen and Cameron went out on tour with The Pretty Reckless...
Lil Nas X and NBA YoungBoy Drop New Single “Late To Da Party”
Rappers Lil Nas X and NBA YoungBoy have joined forces for a new track. On “Late To Da Party,” produced by Take A Daytrip, Lil Nas X takes aim at the 2022 BET Awards, which he didn’t receive any nominations for this year. Lil Nas X began teasing the song earlier this week with a roughly 30-second teaser advertising live performances from him and NBA YoungBoy at the awards show, calling it “culture’s biggest night.” The rapper had a breakthrough year with two top singles, “Industry Baby” with Jack Harlow and “Montero [Call Me By Your Name].” His debut album Montero was also certified platinum. BET has since responded to Lil Nas X with a statement citing his nomination at the awards last year, as well as his “Old Town Road” performance with Billy Ray Cyrus at the event in 2019: “He was nomina...
Listen: EA Sports’ F1 2022 Racing Game Features an All-EDM Soundtrack
Electronic music continues its unexpected crossover into the world of Formula 1 racing with EA Sports’ upcoming game. As we saw firsthand at Red Bull Racing’s Guest House party at the Miami Grand Prix last month, electronic dance music has slowly become the de facto genre of the high-speed sport. The developers at EA Sports have taken notice and revealed that for the first time ever, this year’s F1 video game will feature an all-EDM soundtrack. Gamers will be able to blaze through racetracks to the sounds of “Fallaway” by RL Grime and Baauer, “Renegade” by Kavinsky and Cautious Clay, “Channel 43” by Wolfgang Gartner and deadmau5, and “Carry Us” by LP Giobbi and Kaleena Zanders, among many others.

Enforcing Rights Just Got Much Easier for Copyright Owners
Copyrights are very expensive and timely to enforce. The United States established the Copyright Claims Board (CCB), which allows copyright owners to file disputes and resolve issues more efficiently and avoid an expensive federal court case. Comprising three members who are well-versed in copyright law, the CCB was developed from the Copyright Alternative in Small-Claims Enforcement (CASE) Act of 2020. Damages can’t exceed $30,000, which seems like a lot. If you use an attorney you can get an additional $5,000 and $2,500 if you don’t. But if you’re a musician with work that gets stolen from someone whose track ultimately goes Platinum, you could likely sue for much more in damages. “Copyrights [are] an issue for federal courts only—it’s not a state ...
