!With less than two weeks left before its premiere, HBO has now released the first official trailer for the fourth season of Westworld. During the show’s panel at the ATX Television Festival, the show’s co-creator Lisa Joy revealed that Dolores actress Evan Rachel Wood would be portraying another character named Christina as well for the new season. “There’s a girl named Christina and she’s wonderful and she’s just trying to make it in the big city,” said Joy. “She’s a writer, she dates…” Wood added, “It’s slim pickings out there … Christina looks a lot like Evan Rachel Wood. Maybe not as maniacal and murdery as Dolores.” While most of the season’s other details remain largely under wraps for now, Wood, James Marsden and Jeffery Wright will be reprising their roles alongside Than...
Pharrell Williams‘ Something in the Water Festival is officially underway. The ceremonious event started with an informative panel featuring Williams, retired NASA astronaut and NFL player Leland Melvin, and YELLOW executive director Stacey Owsley.

It’s new music Friday, which means there’s a fresh batch of new musical releases. One of hip-hop’s biggest names returns with a surprise album, two powerhouse R&B singers team up for a sultry duet, and an avant-garde artist returns with a hyper-catchy track. But which release was your favorite? Nine months after Certified Lover Boy‘s momentous arrival, Drake delivered another album with Honestly, Nevermind on Friday (June 17). His seventh LP, the Toronto rapper went against his usually well-calculated ways to announce the surprise album just mere hours before it landed on streaming services. Drizzy elected to keep his new full-length project shorter than his typically overstuffed albums with a modest 14 songs. Those expecting a rap album were sadly mistaken, as the superstar rapper lea...

On June 17, from midnight to midnight Pacific Time, we’ll hold our third annual Juneteenth fundraiser, where we donate 100% of our share of sales to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund to support their ongoing efforts to promote racial justice through litigation, advocacy, and public education.

We hope you’ll help us spread the word about the upcoming fundraiser, and thank y...
