Actress Lili Bernard Files $25 Million Civil Lawsuit Against Bill Cosby In New Jersey
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Gilbert Carrasquillo / Getty Bill Cosby may be free from prison after his conviction was overturned, but his legal troubles still persist thanks to a new lawsuit brought against him by another of the 60 women who’ve accused him of sexual assault. As first reported by Vulture, a civil lawsuit against the 84-year old comedian has been filed in a federal court in New Jersey by former actress Lili Bernard. Bernard, who once appeared on The Cosby Show, alleges that Cosby drugged and raped her at the Trump Taj Mahal hotel in Atlantic City in August 1990. “I have waited a long time to be able to pursue my case in court,” Bernard expressed in a statement released to the press, “and I look forward to being heard and to hold Cosby accountable for what he did to me....

Drake Allegedly Threatened Legal Action To Get Disabled ‘Degrassi’ Character To Walk Again
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Steve Granitz / Gettyke Drake might’ve gotten adorned himself to millions of female fans as “Wheelchair Jimmy” on Degrassi, but the actor turned rapper actually fought to have his character taken out of the disability program and even took legal action to have writers rewrite his physical status. According to Page Six, Drizzy wanted his beloved paralyzed character to be able to walk on the show and even threatened writer James Hurst with legal action in order to get what he wanted. Well, no one ever accused Drizzy of being a thug, so legal action from a Canadian actor actually makes sense. Just sayin.’ “There was a letter from a law firm in Toronto, and it was from Aubrey. It was an odd letter that said, ‘Aubrey Graham will not return to ‘Degrassi’&n...
Watch the Boston Red Sox Rage to Robyn and Tiësto After Playoff Win
What happens in the locker room stays in the locker room, right? Apparently, all bets are off when Robyn is involved. This week, the Boston Red Sox got down to a version of the iconic dance music artist’s timeless 2010 hit, “Dancing On My Own,” in a viral video. Cause for celebration was their October 11th win against the Tampa Bay Rays, clinching their upcoming appearance in the American League Championship Series. “Bonkers,” Robyn stated simply in a quote tweet. The specific song version was Tiësto‘s remix of a 2016 cover by Calum Scott. In the clip, the team can be seen euphorically singing the lyrics, which they know by heart, to the electro-pop classic. They’re even wearing yellow ski goggles to shield their eyes from a n...

Watch VINCE NEIL Perform MÖTLEY CRÜE Classics In Tampa
MÖTLEY CRÜE frontman Vince Neil and his solo band performed last night (Thursday, October 14) at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, Florida. Fan-filmed video footage of the concert can be seen below. Last month, Vince revealed that he was trying out a new toning machine in an apparent effort to get in shape for MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s upcoming “The Stadium Tour”. The singer said he was using Emsculpt Neo, a revolutionary new treatment which supposedly builds muscle and reduces fat using both radio frequency and high-intensity electromagnetic energies. Four months ago, Neil made headlines when he struggled to complete his solo concert at the Boone Iowa River Valley Festival in Boone. Based on fan-filmed video footage of the May 29 gig posted on YouTube, the 60-year-old ...
Video: MÖTLEY CRÜE’s VINCE NEIL Breaks Ribs In Stage Fall
MÖTLEY CRÜE singer Vince Neil suffered a serious injury when he fell off the stage during his solo band’s performance earlier tonight (Friday, October 15) at the Monsters On The Mountain festival at LeConte Center in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. According to Metal Sludge, the incident occurred early into the set — while the group was performing “Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)”, a CRÜE classic which has been a staple of the singer’s solo shows. In fan-filmed video of the episode, which is available below, Vince can be seen encouraging the crowd to clap at the end of the song while taking a step or two forward toward the front left side of the stage before losing his footing and falling off. A short time later, bassist Dana Strum addressed the crowd about the exte...
Mike Portnoy’s Son Is Now Drumming for Code Orange
Legendary metal drummer Mike Portnoy’s son Max is now drumming for Code Orange, who are currently on tour as part of Slipknot’s “Knotfest Roadshow.” Going by the name “Mud Max” and donning a Mankind-style mask, Max Portnoy has appeared on drums during the band’s recent shows, though it is undetermined if it’s a permanent role. Singer Jami Morgan is the band’s studio drummer, but he has given up the role on tour to concentrate on being a frontman onstage. Ethan Young previously held the role of touring drummer, but now Max has taken over the drum kit during live gigs. Max, who also plays in the band Tallah, certainly brings an impressive pedigree to the Code Orange lineup. His father Mike is considered one of the greatest metal drummers of all time, having been the longtime stickman for pro...
Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres Is Completely Oblivious to Its Own Plight
On “Trouble In Town,” the third track on Coldplay’s 2019 LP Everyday Life, the band places a rather disturbing sound clip of a police officer rudely interrogating someone — this comes after Chris Martin’s solemn lament on unequal power structures and how they always “add more police,” and before a full-band psychedelic freak out of an outro, which is not necessarily what you’d associate with Coldplay. This was not an anomaly on the record; Everyday Life featured Coldplay at their most experimental, their most vital, and playing the riskiest music they’ve made in years. But what’s more, is that it sounded like Coldplay had changed, that over a span of 20 years as a band, they were almost more weathered and rugged. Fast forward to two years later; Coldplay have released their ninth studio al...

Adele’s “Easy on Me” Breaks Spotify Record for Most Single Day Streams
Even after six years away from the spotlight, Adele remains the biggest name in music. Case in point: her comeback single “Easy on Me” has set the Spotify record for most streams in a single day. Adele bested a record previously held by BTS, whose song “Butter” received 20.9 million global streams on May 23rd. Here at Consequence, we named “Easy on Me” our Song of the Week. In her accompanying writeup, contributing editor Mary Siroky said of the song, “It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s Adele through and through, and that might just be best case scenario right now. Turn it on for a long, reflective drive. Pour a cup of coffee and sit by the window looking forlorn. Resist the urge to call your ex. Adele is here for all of us.” Advertisement Related Video “Easy on Me” serves as the first sing...
