Dionne Warwick Stopped by The Dionne Warwick Talk Show on SNL: Watch
Saturday Night Live welcomed a very special guest to The Dionne Warwick Talk Show last night: Dionne Warwick herself! The recurring sketch started out with Ego Nwodim’s version of the icon and recently crowned queen of Twitter interviewing a rotating panel of celebrity guests, including Miley Cyrus (Chloe Fineman), Jason Mraz (host Kieran Culkin), and Post Malone (Pete Davidson). Ed Sheeran, who served as the episode’s musical guest, also stopped by the show to answer some of Warwick’s most pressing questions. “Now, you did a song called ‘South of the Border.’ My question is: are you nasty?” Nwodim-as-Warwick asked, to which the singer cheekily replied, “Yeah, a little bit” with a knowing wiggle of his eyebrows.

The Nigerian Nightmare Kamaru Usman Beats MAGA Mouth Colby Covington A 2nd Time
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jeff Bottari / Getty Kamaru Usman defended his welterweight championship title against the MAGA Mouth of the MMA Colby Covington by unanimous decision on Saturday (November 6) in a clash that some thought was closer than the results. The Nigerian Nightmare dropped Covington twice early in the fight but Chaos fought back and push the champion to the limits but it was not enough.

For UFC 268 in New York City, Usman showed his massive punching power by flooring Covington, who managed to bring some of that same power back to Usman and fought a smarter fight than the...

DEEP PURPLE’s IAN PAICE: ‘When RITCHIE BLACKMORE Decided To Leave The Band, That Was Pretty Traumatic’
In a brand new interview with Darren Paltrowitz, host of the “Paltrocast With Darren Paltrowitz”, DEEP PURPLE drummer Ian Paice was asked if there was ever a period when he and his bandmates were worried about not having another “hit” song and not being able to sustain their longevity. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I don’t think we were worried about having hits in the first place. It was a time when pop bands made singles and rock bands made albums. So long as we kept coming with albums that people seemed to like, we weren’t worried about having a Top 40 hit; if they came along, it was like a bonus. Now, the only time we got concerned was towards the end of Ritchie‘s [Blackmore, guitar] tenure with the band, as he was l...
Pro-‘Medical Freedom’ SMILE EMPTY SOUL Frontman Has Been Doing His Own ‘Studies And Research’ For More Than A Decade
In a new interview with Souled Out Media, SMILE EMPTY SOUL guitarist and lead singer Sean Danielsen was asked about the lyrical themes covered on the band’s recently released “Black Pilled” album. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I always try and write about what I see. The old writing over and over and over again about relationships, to me, is just a little bit boring. I’d rather write about pertinent issues that are occurring around us and what I see in the world. “The whole ‘black-pilled’ thing is just… I’ve been doing my own studies and research, I guess you could call it, for a long time — at least a decade. Trying to figure out how the world really operates, truly operates, who’s really in control and what thos...

David Coverdale has offered an update on the proposed 30th-anniversary re-release of his collaboration with Jimmy Page.

Travis Scott Sued Over ‘Predictable and Preventable’ Astroworld Tragedy
Travis Scott is being sued by a concertgoer who was injured during the Astroworld tragedy on Friday night, which left eight people dead and hundreds more injured. As Billboard reports, Manuel Souza filed a lawsuit against Scott himself, as well as organizer ScoreMore and concert behemoth Live Nation, claiming the deadly disaster was “predictable and preventable,” “a motivation for profit at the expense of concertgoers’ health and safety” and the “encouragement of violence.” “Defendants failed to properly plan and conduct the concert in a safe manner,” Souza’s attorney, Steve Kherkher of the firm Kherkher Garcia LLP, said in a statement according to Billboard. “Instead, they consciously ignored the extreme risks of harm to concertgoers, and, in some cases actively encouraged and foment...
Watch Nandi Bushell Jam with Queen’s Roger Taylor
Nandi Bushell keeps living her absolute best life. Just days after sharing a tribute to Rolling Stones‘ late drummer Charlie Watts, the 11-year-old wunderkind posted footage of her and Queen‘s Roger Taylor jamming together.

I give up!” Watch Nandi Bushell and Roger Taylor’s epic jam session below. About a month ago, Taylor shared a photo of him shaking Bushell’s hand on Instagram. “Fabul...

JORDY has unveiled his debut album Mind Games via 300 Entertainment. Stream it below on Apple Music and Spotify. Containing singles “Till It Hurts” and “If He’s in Your Bed,” the 12-track collection confirms the 25-year-old’s role as one of the most promising new voices in pop. JORDY’s lyrics are filled with disarming observations on everything from finding faraway connection on dating apps (breakout TikTok hit “Long Distance”) and overcoming body dysmorphia amid the vanity of the L.A. gay scene (the powerful “Dressed Up in a T-Shirt”) to the desire to sometimes leave it all behind for a different kind of life (lovely, guitar-strewn closer “South Dakota”).

Best Spring Break Never: New ‘Stranger Things 4’ Trailer Goes Back To Cali
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: YouTube / Netflix November 6 is the annual Stranger Things Day, which is all well and good. We’re here for it because this year it meant a new trailer for season 4 of his Netflix series Stranger Things, whose release was delayed to Summer 2022 thanks to the pandemic. In the clip, with Jeremiah Burnham’s “A Place In California” playing as the background music, Eleven writes a letter to her now-boyfriend Mike, we assume, detailing finding a home in Cali, and actually liking school, and how she can’t wait to see him during Spring Break. It’s all dreamy and cheesey, and filled with 1980s nostalgia until gun blasts, explosions and the general chaos we’ve come to love from Strangers Things come into play towards the end of the trailer. Also revealed were the ti...
