NY Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin Resigns After Shocking Arrest
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Michael M. Santiago / Getty The once-promising career of New York Lieutenant Governor Brian Benjamin has apparently crashed and burned, as he has resigned his position after being arrested by federal authorities. On Tuesday (April 12th), Benjamin resigned from his post after leaving a federal courthouse in Manhattan. The second-in-command to Governor Kathy Hochul had surrendered to Federal Bureau of Investigation agents that morning. Governor Hochul confirmed the news in a statement through her office released in the afternoon. “I have accepted Brian Benjamin’s resignation effective immediately. While the legal process plays out, it is clear to both of us that he cannot continue to serve as Lieutenant Governor. New Yorkers deserve absolute confidence in t...
Outer Range Is Yellowstone Meets Ozark Meets Stranger Things: Review
The Pitch: Stretched out over the sprawling plains and towering mountains of Wyoming, a kind of Hatfields and McCoys situation plays out between two neighboring ranch families — the Abbotts, led by firm but fair patriarch Royal (Josh Brolin), and the Tillersons, an out-there clan led by Wayne (Will Patton), an ailing land-grabber with his eyes on the Abbotts’ western pasture. But things turn ever more complicated when a mysterious drifter named Autumn (Imogen Poots) shows up at the Abbotts’ doorstep and asks to camp on their land (and can pay for the privilege), her motivations unknown. That same day, a tractor-sized hole opens up in the ground along — you guessed it — the Abbotts’ western pasture, a bottomless black pit covered in smoke, seemingly leading to nowhere. Where did it com...
Broadway’s Aladdin Dedicates Performance to Gilbert Gottfried: “Thanks for the Laughs”
Before the curtains dropped on the April 12th performance of Broadway’s Aladdin, the cast took a moment to honor the original Iago, Gilbert Gottfried, who had passed away earlier that day. “Tonight, we’d like to take a moment to celebrate the life of a comedy legend,” Don Darryl Rivera, who plays the macaw Iago in the New York stage adaptation, said. “A funny man with an indelible voice. The man who breathed life into Iago for the animated film: Mr. Gilbert Gottfried.” In the 1992’s Aladdin, Gottfried stole every scene with a squawk. The character was so popular that Disney brought him back several times, including in 1994’s direct-to-video Aladdin 2: The Return of Jafar, the animated Aladdin series that ran from 1994 to ’95, and in the anthology series H...
Veteran Goth Rockers The 69 Eyes Return with New Song “Drive”: Stream
The 69 Eyes have shared a music video for a new song titled “Drive.” It comes ahead of the veteran Finnish goth rockers’ 13th studio album, which is currently being recorded for a 2023 release. The track is an ’80s nostalgia trip with serious Billy Idol vibes.

We jammed a lot more as a band this time and came up with song ideas from all the guys. ‘Drive’ started from one little riff, which I had for a long time. It took ...
