Maren Morris Returns With ‘Circles Around This Town’
Way back in 2021, Maren Morris received a pretty strong billing on the 2022 version of Stagecoach. Morris is the second name in bold on Friday night (opening night), which implied (subtly) that something new was (is?) on the way. We got our first taste of what’s to come when she shared “Circles Around This Town.” It’s her first song since her second album, 2019’s Girl, and references songs like “80s Mercedes” and “My Church.” Here’s what she had to say about the song and elaborated on its meaning. “I could see the visuals for ‘Circles Around This Town’ the moment I wrote the song. I’ve always been so inspired by the industrial, blown out colors of music videos from the 90s, so Harper Smith and I wanted the aesthetics of this video to reflect that grainy, devil-may-care attitude of all my f...

The Boys Season 3 Reveals a Release Date, First Footage Full of Summertime Revenge
Lots of weird, wild, and scary stuff has happened over the course of the first two seasons of superhero action dramedy The Boys (that poor whale), but there’s nothing quite as scary as Homelander (Antony Starr) smiling. That’s what gets put front and center in this first look footage from Season 3, which Amazon Prime Video announced Friday will premiere this June. Per the official YouTube description, “Payback’s coming June 3rd.” Season 2 of the series ended with neo-Nazi superhero Stormfront (Aya Cash) getting pulverized but Homelander remaining, in the eyes of the public, a big damn hero. And while Starlight (Erin Moriarty) is also back in the public’s good graces (not to mention her original, less-revealing supersuit), she’s more than aware that behind the blinding grin we see in this t...

EA Is Investigating the Alleged Hacking of Large ‘FIFA 22’ Players
EA is currently investigating reports from prominent FIFA 22 players who have had their accounts hacked. Over the past week, large trading accounts have taken to social media to state that their coins and FIFA Points had been stolen.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nike / NIke It seems like all of a sudden Nike is getting lawsuit happy these days as they’re once again going to court to sue athletic apparel retailer Lululemon for patent infringement, but this time it isn’t over a sneaker silhouette. According to CNBC, Nike has filed a patent infringement against Lululemon over their at-home Mirror fitness device and related mobile applications, saying that Lululemon bit the idea that they’ve been cultivating for decades. “Nike claims that in 1983, it invented and filed a patent application on a device for determining a runner’s speed, distance traversed, elapsed time and calories expended. It has also since launched a range of popular mobile apps such as Nike Run Club and Nike Training Club.” Really? Since ’83? Nike ...
