Stranger Things Stretches Out the Upside Down For an Endearingly Familiar Season 4: Review
The Pitch: While it’s been three years (and an entire pandemic) since we last saw Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), and the rest of the denizens of Hawking, Indiana in the third season of Stranger Things, for them it’s only been six months. The Battle of Starcourt Mall kicked off a host of changes for our heroes, both young and old, with Eleven choosing to move to California with the Byerses, leaving Mike, Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), and the others to struggle with the cliques and clashes of high school on their own. And growing up is hard, even for Demogorgon slayers — Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) has joined the basketball team in an attempt to shake off the nerd cred Mike and Dustin cling to, while Max (Sadie Sink) is still mourning the death of brother Billy last se...
Eminem Tells Pete Davidson His ‘SNL’ Rap Videos “All Suck” in Comedian’s Last Parody
As Pete Davidson said goodbye to the Saturday Night Live stage with his final rap video parody, Eminem made a special appearance and gave his very honest comments on the comedian’s long-running gag. In the midst of Davidson’s “Forgot the Dre” parody honoring show creator Lorne Michaels, Em calls out the comedian from behind the camera and suspiciously asks if this is another parody or “tribute or something.” The young actor confirms that this is the third parody he’s done as the rapper so far, to which Em replied, “I would just stop…yeah, they all suck.” Confused, Davidson asks if the rapper dislikes the idea of the parody or only him as a person, but the rapper has evidently had enough and simply tells him to stop. Davidson tries one last time to convince Em that the parodies are done bec...

They all suck,” referring to Davidson’s various Eminem spoofs. “It’s really bad,” Em added. He concluded: “Pete—don’t fucking do it again.” Watch it happen below.

DJ Akademiks Reportedly Spoke to Offset About Migos, Claims Split Unlikely to Happen
The rumored split between Migos is unlikely to happen according to DJ Akademiks, who claims he spoke to Offset about the reports surrounding the group’s future. In a recent interview with TMZ, Ak shared that he recently got in touch with Offset about the rumored Migos breakup. “That’s cap,” Akademiks said of the split, adding that he told Offset that he does not want to report on anything false. “They might be going through a small disagreement or whatever. I think that they’re angling it because, you know, Takeoff and Quavo just put out a song, so they’re kind of letting it lie, letting the questions linger or something like that.” “But at the end of the day, they’re family. Offset confirmed that to me, too,” Akademiks continued. “Maybe if it was the City Girls that unfollowed each other,...
