Nick Cannon Let The Pipe Flourish On Camera, Thirsty Twitter Reacts In Parched
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Gilbert Carrasquillo / Getty Nick Cannon is known for many things and that includes his sprawling media empire and his prolific fatherhood abilities. Adding to his list of accolades, Twitter took notice of the entertainer’s “situation” and the social media network is rife with the thirst. A savvy Twitter user by the name of @DallasScorpio92 used their eagle eyes to zoom in on Cannon’s crotch, which seemingly has Cannon’s “cannon” on vivid display. The slack, like most suits in the modern era, is extremely fitted to Cannon’s frame so there might not be any mistaking what lurks below Cannon’s waist. Of course, it isn’t like Cannon walked out on stage and showed off the hammer all nilly-willy but the bright lights of the studio and Twitter being Twitte...

Tom Holland on Sunday confirmed that he will play Fred Astaire in an upcoming Sony biopic.

The Latest ‘Matrix Resurrections’ Trailer Calls for War
Warner Bros. on Monday dropped off the second official trailer for The Matrix Resurrections, which largely follows the return of Keanu Reeves‘ Neo and Carrie-Anne Moss‘ Trinity. Like the last trailer, this new visual combines old footage from the original trilogy with fresh footage from Resurrections, featuring a slew of action sequences packed with guns, rocket launchers, crashes, kung fu and more. Though the storyline remains unclear, it seems as though the plot will focus on Neo attempting to reunite with Trinity, which should prove to be a difficult feat as both characters presumably died in the final sequences of The Matrix Revolutions. The trailer also provides a first look at the return of Jada Pinkett Smith‘s Niobe, who tells Neo, “It’s so easy to forget how much noise the Mat...

Travis Scott Begins Effort to Dismiss Astroworld Lawsuits: Report
Travis Scott has begun the process of dismissing the hundreds of lawsuits over his deadly Astroworld festival. Per TMZ, the Houston rapper has filed to have a civil suit against him and his companies — Jack Enterprises and Cactus Jack — be dropped with prejudice. Scott is issuing a “general denial” in response to attendee Jessie Garcia’s lawsuit, meaning he wants to deny responsibility for all allegations in one blanket response. TMZ reports that Travis and his legal team are preparing a similar response to every civil suit filed against him. This may not be necessary, however, as attorneys for both victims and festival organizers filed a joint petition last week to combine the mounting number of cases into a single “multi-district litigation.” As Billboard points out, this is standar...
