Martin Shkreli Banned from Pharmaceutical Industry, Ordered to Repay $64.6 Million
Disgraced pharmaceutical CEO Martin Shkreli has been banned from the industry forever, and has also been ordered to return the $64.6 million in profits he made by price-gouging the drug Daraprim. The ruling in U.S. District Court in Manhattan on Friday came in response to a multi-state lawsuit accusing Shkreli of illegal and monopolistic behavior. According to the Associated Press, over the course of a seven-day trial last month, prosecutors presented recordings of conversations that appeared to show Shkreli continuing to exert control over his company, Vyera Pharmaceuticals LLC, while he was behind bars. Those recordings also indicated that Shkreli had plans to prevent generic versions of Daraprim, a life-saving drug used to combat a rare parasitic disease, from being sold. Back in ...
Right Said Fred Promote White Supremacy Livestream with Neo-Nazi Leader
Yikes. Right Said Fred shared a link with their followers over the weekend that led to a livestream full of neo-Nazis, conspiracy theories, and anti-vaxx misinformation. According to The Mirror, the “I’m Too Sexy” singers, who are noted anti-vaxxers in their native UK, posted the link on the cross-platform messaging app Telegram. While the duo didn’t include their own caption, the post brought their more than 5,600 followers to a webcast hosted by Mark Collett, leader of UK white nationalist group Patriotic Alternative.

David Bowie Coming to Peloton with New Remixes from St. Vincent, TOKiMONSTA
Let’s dance… bike, or run with David Bowie. The Starman’s entire catalog will arrive on Peloton starting January 19th. The at-home fitness platform has struck a deal to make Bowie its latest artist series. Alongside the musician’s full catalog, Peloton commissioned three exclusive remixes from St. Vincent (“It’s No Game (Pt. 1)”), TOKiMONSTA (“Golden Years”), and Honey Dijon (“Let’s Dance”). “I chose “It’s No Game (Pt. 1)”, because it has a part 2 on the record, and I figured maybe Bowie wouldn’t mind so much if I made a part 3,” St. Vincent’s Annie Clark said of her contribution. “I wanted to take Bowie’s throat-shredding vocal take from part 1, and make it front and center. ‘Three steps to heavaaaaaaaaaaaahn…’” Advertisement Related Video “To me, I connect with Bowie as an amazing ...
SNL Gives Family Matters a Dark and Twisted Reboot: Watch
The latest episode of Saturday Night Live had some fun at the expense of Peacock’s new dramatic reboot of The French Prince of Bel-Air by imaging a similarly serious, high stakes remake of Family Matters. The spoof trailer for Urkel features all of “the goofy characters you loved in the 90s with absolutely none of the fun or charm,” including Officer Carl Winslow (Kenan Thompson), Laura Winslow (Ego Nwodim), and Steven Quincy Urkel himself (Chris Redd). Ariana DeBose, last night’s SNL host, plays Urkel’s alcoholic mother, and Andrew Dismukes is at the receiving end of Urkel’s fist after bragging about his sexual relations with Laura Winslow. “Did I do thaaaat?” Redd’s Urkel asks while holding Dismukes’ character at gunpoint. “What if I shot you in the face?! Should I do thaaaat?” Elsewhere...

DISTURBED’s DAVID DRAIMAN Discusses Importance Of Vocals In Modern Music: ‘People Remember Hooks’
DISTURBED frontman David Draiman, who produced TRIVIUM‘s “Vengeance Falls” album nearly a decade ago, was asked in a new interview with AXS TV‘s “Rock & Tell” if he gravitates to listening to the vocals first when he is working with an artist or if he is able to block that out and listen to something else first. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Well, it all depends on the type of music you’re approaching, number one. Obviously, if we’re talking about something instrumental, then it’s a moot point. But if you’re talking about a vocal-driven song, and that’s the way 99.9 percent of all music, is vocally driven, then I think any producer, whether it’s me or anyone else, is going to start with ...

TIM ‘RIPPER’ OWENS Saw Tensions Brewing Between K.K. DOWNING And GLENN TIPTON During Making Of ‘Demolition’
Former JUDAS PRIEST singer Tim “Ripper” Owens has once again defended Kenneth “K.K.” Downing over the comments the ex-PRIEST guitarist made about his former bandmates in his 2018 autobiography, explaining that Downing is just telling the truth. K.K. departed the iconic band 11 years ago but looked back on his time with the British metal titans in “Heavy Duty: Days And Nights In Judas Priest”, which came out in September 2018. The book, which was written with collaborator Mark Eglinton, covers all of the behind-the-scenes turbulence that led to Downing‘s exit from PRIEST, including his strained relationship with guitarist Glenn Tipton and his gripes with certain managerial decisions. During a new appearance on “The Jasta Show”, the podca...
