The second episode of Saturday Night Live’s 47th season featured arguably their most famous host of the initial four episodes: Kim Kardashian-West, who really feels like she should have been a novelty host circa 2009, rather than a first-timer in 2021. Hopefully she’s just this season’s token billionaire—and hopefully that slot is retired from the host lineup hereafter. Wearing a lot of gloves for October, Kardashian-West didn’t project the same disdain for the world as fellow socialite Paris Hilton did in her infamous hosting gig, or the same discomfiting cutesiness as Elon Musk. At the same time, her version of being a good sport mostly involved getting off some shots at her family (and ex-husband Kanye West), and jokingly promoting her SKIMS shapewear line (the commercial for shapewear ...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Maurice Will / Maurice Will It’s been quite some time since Kelis’s “Milkshake” brought all the boys to her yard but is her “Midnight Snacks” capable of bringing them back to her front door? We’re not sure but that isn’t stopping her from giving it the old college try and in her latest visuals to “Midnight Snacks” the OG singer tempts viewers with a buffet of deserts that were seductively presented as she let honey pour through her more than willing hand. It was both weird and sexy. We can’t call it. Yo Gotti meanwhile seems to be a wanted man and for his clip to “For The Record” takes to the desert to evade authorities and stunt in some heavy ice. That should keep him cool till the sun goes down. Check out the rest of today’s drops including work fr...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Sylvain Gaboury / Getty One of New York City’s premier eateries is in high demand even aftar a violent altercation. Phillipe Chow’s is still booked and busy after a recent shooting. As spotted on Page Six, the Asian restaurant known for their high priced menu offerings and posh ambiance is still doing their numbers even though one of their patrons was shot last month. In mid-September, a couple of stick-up men relieved an unnamed individual of their Rolex watch and shot another in the leg who apparently attempted to reach for the firearm. While an incident like this would ruin most establishments a source tells the gossip rag that “the restaurant has been packed and thriving.” Since then Chow’s has hosted the likes of several celebrities including actor F...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: NBC / Getty On Saturday (Oct. 9), Kim Kardashian held down the hosting duties on Saturday Night Live. We gotta keep it a buck, that’s about as far as our interest goes. [embedded content] For the sake of archival purposes, the New York Post did report on Yeezy’s ex-wife’s performances, because of course they did. Kim Kardashian came out hot — in hot pink — for her “Saturday Night Live” hosting debut, boldly cracking jokes about how she’s “a Kim — not a Karen,” referencing her infamous sex tape and declaring that her “first black person” was OJ Simpson. But first, clad in an eye-scorching head-to-toe bodysuit, the 40-year-old superstar admitted: “I’m surprised to see me here, too. I haven’t had a movie premiere in a really long time. I mean actually I only...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Al Bello / Getty The third time was not the charm for Deontay Wilder. In his third bout with Tyson Fury, the heavyweight boxer once again took an L (their first fight was a draw, the second went to Fury), and he got knocked the f*ck out for his trouble. Wilder started off well enough in the first couple of rounds and even put Fury down in the 4th round but it was pretty much all downhill from there. Wilder caught a mean 2-piece and a biscuit in the 11th round, and he was a wrap. Nevertheless, it was a great fight. Reports CNN: In a fight that is being talked about as one of the all-time great heavyweight bouts, Tyson Fury retained his WBC title after knocking out Deontay Wilder at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday. “I’ve been in this busin...
In the clip, Asghari tells the singer that Porsha’s purpose is to “unconditionally love you.” He adds that the pet will be “trained to protect [Spears] from any motherf—er that comes around you with bad intentions.” Asghari shared more footage of the baby Doberman in his Instagram Story. In one video, he howls at Porsha, who looks on curiously. In another snapshot, the puppy sleeps while curled up in his lap. “You’re supposed to be guarding,” Asghari captioned the sweet image. Spears has been in a celebratory mood following the removal of her father as conservator of her estate. In late September, L.A. County Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny granted Spears’ petition to immediately suspend Jamie Spears as conservator of her estate...
And that’s just what he did, from the opening number of “Gone Country” and straight through the night. During the nostalgic “Drive (For Daddy Gene),” men across the arena had raised hands and held up beers in solidarity by the time the entertainer even reached the first chorus, singing, “I was king of the ocean/ When daddy let me drive.” Couples hugged and swayed along for the sweetly romantic “Remember When,” and instantly went into party mode during such classics as “I Don’t Even Know Your Name,” “Country Boy” and “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere.” As “a singer of simple songs,” Jackson’s voice was as warm and limber as ever, the perfect vehicle for putting across his relatable tales of love, loss and life.

Cardi Tries: Tying the Knot shows the brides’ big day, where one surprised the other with the celebrity-assisted pop-up wedding. Cardi and Raven helped with planning the same-day nuptials — from selecting table settings to choosing a wedding gown — before taking part in the actual ceremony. “You guys are probably wondering why I’m here,” Cardi — who recently gave birth to her second child, made history with her “WAP” wins at the 2021 BET Hip Hop Awards, and had her “Rumors” collab with Lizzo debut in the top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 — announced in front of a small group of the couple’s family and friends. “I’m gonna get these two beautiful ladies married.” “It’s not only a spe...
STAIND frontman Aaron Lewis has once again accused the U.S. Democratic Party of fighting against every major civil rights initiative and of having a long history of discrimination. The outspoken conservative rocker, who reinvented himself as a solo country artist in the last decade, voiced his views before performing his new single called “Am I The Only One” during his October 7 concert at Texas Trust CU Theatre in Grand Prairie, Texas. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “You know what was weird: I released this song as a single and then completely abandoned this altogether and went and played STAIND shows. “So me and a couple of friends wrote this song during lockdown. “We will look back on this time frame in history and wonder how we were allowed ...

Sacramento mayor Darrell Steinberg says that it is a “thrill” to host the 2021 edition of the Aftershock festival after a COVID cancelation last year. Around 40,000 people were expected each day over the course of the four-day event starting Thursday (October 7) at Sacramento’s Discovery Park. On Friday (October 8), Steinberg took to his Instagram to share a video of him mingling with heavy metal fans at the event, and he included the following message: “Such a thrill to welcome 120,000 fans from all 50 states and 30 countries to @thecityofsac for @AFTERSHOCKSAC. The lineup includes made-in-Sac stars like the @deftones and DANCE GAVIN DANCE along with megastars like @metallica”. A number of COVID protocols are in place for this year’s Aftershock, with Sa...
During a recent appearance on the “Reinvented With Jen Eckhart”, FOZZY singer and wrestling superstar Chris Jericho was asked if any of the other rock musicians he is friends with have offered him any helpful words of advice as his band was making its name in the business. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I think there’s been a lot of guys that I was fans of that I’ve become friends with — someone like Paul Stanley [KISS], who’s always cool. I talk to Lars [Ulrich] from METALLICA; he’s a very good friend of mine. “I don’t really ask any advice from these guys, but you kind of follow in their footsteps. “When you’ve been in show business as long as I have — 31 years coming up this week, next week, whenever ...
