Red and Kitty Forman Will Anchor That ’70s Show Sequel That ’90s Show
Red and Kitty Forman are set to welcome a new dumbass into the family. Via The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has ordered a spinoff of That ’70s Show called That ’90s Show, and veteran actors Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp will be returning to reprise their roles. That ’70s Show ran for eight seasons starting in 1998, making household names out of young stars like Topher Grace (Eric), Mila Kunis (Jackie), and Ashton Kutcher (Kelso), as well as Laura Prepon (Donna), Wilmer Valderrama (Fez), and the now-disgraced Danny Masterson (Hyde). Their characters’ stoned antics gave the show its forward thrust, but the stakes often came from the fear that Red and Kitty would find out. Now, a new generation will be threatened with Red’s foot up their asses. While the young peopl...
R. Kelly’s Music Sees Major Spike in Streaming and Sales Following Guilty Verdict
R. Kelly may have been found guilty last month in his federal sex crimes trial, but the news seems to have caused a major spike in his sales and streaming numbers. According to streaming data provided by Billboard, the disgraced artist’s catalog experienced a 14% rise in streaming during the week of his September 27th conviction, as well as a 55% rise in radio play across the country. However, the real impact came in the week immediately following the guilty verdict. A report by Rolling Stone points out R. Kelly’s music received a 500% surge in sales, while his streaming numbers also rose by another 22% from the week prior.

Dave Grohl Reads Ringo Starr’s Bedtime Story Octopus’s Garden: Watch
Dave Grohl was the latest guest on the BBC’s CBeebies, choosing as his bedtime story the 2014 children’s book Octopus’s Garden by Ringo Starr. Grohl began by saying that his favorite books take him to places he wishes he could visit. He added, “I love this story because it was written by someone who plays the drums — just like me!” Octopus’s Garden is based on Starr’s own song of the same name from Abbey Road, with illustrations by Ben Cort. Some of Cort’s whimsical drawings are flashed across the screen, or else the video would be indistinguishable from Grohl reciting the lyrics to a The Beatles’ song in a calming voice. He clearly enjoyed the experience, pointing to himself and saying, “I’d like to be under the sea in an Octopus’s garden in the shade.” Check...
Ex-MEGADETH Drummer SHAWN DROVER On DAVID ELLEFSON Getting Fired Over Sex Video: ‘It’s Unfortunate’
In a brand new interview with Waste Some Time With Jason Green, former MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover was asked for his take on the recent sex scandal that resulted in the band’s longtime bassist David Ellefson being removed from the group. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I really don’t know any more about it than you do, or what has been displayed in the press or online and stuff. There’s a lot of speculation about certain aspects of it. We know some stuff is factual, with what happened. “These things have happened on the road with musicians in the past — back in the ’60s and the ’70s, way before there was videos on your iPad and all the technologically advanced things that we have now,” he continued. “So it’s hard ...
STEVE STEVENS: Why LARS ULRICH Is A ‘Great Drummer’
In a recent interview with “I Ask No One With Kevin Re LoVullo”, Billy Idol‘s longtime guitarist Steve Stevens offered his opinion on METALLICA, both in terms of the band’s musicianship and its influence on the heavy metal genre as a whole. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I think they’re the next generation’s BLACK SABBATH, as far as what they contributed and their impact and their uniqueness and willingness to do what was not the norm. And that’s always the way you get the greats, as people go, ‘Yeah, we’re not gonna do it the way it’s been done before.’ And James‘s [Hetfield] riffs… “Sometimes people say, ‘Well, Lars [Ulrich] is not the most technical drummer.’ But the thing is ...
BRUCE DICKINSON Says ‘Senjutsu’ Is One Of His Favorite IRON MAIDEN Albums
IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson spoke to France’s La Claque FNAC about “Senjutsu”, IRON MAIDEN‘s first album in six years, which came out on September 3. It was recorded in 2019 in Paris with longstanding producer Kevin Shirley and co-produced by bassist Steve Harris. For “Senjutsu” — loosely translated as “tactics and strategy” — the band once again enlisted the services of Mark Wilkinson to create the spectacular Samurai-themed cover artwork, based on an idea by Harris. “It’s always a big thrill when you get a new IRON MAIDEN album and it comes out,” Bruce said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “We thought it was a great album when we made it. But it was two and a half years ago, nearly three years ago now. So...

Nikki Sixx spoke to Yahoo! Entertainment about MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s “The Stadium Tour” with DEF LEPPARD which was originally scheduled to take place last summer but ended up being pushed back to 2021, and then to 2022, due to the coronavirus crisis. “We thought we were gonna tour this year,” the CRÜE bassist said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “Then the delta variant came. And some of my friends went out and did it, and some have had no problems, some have had big problems. “On a business level, you can’t get COVID insurance. So if you’ve got a big show — MÖTLEY, DEF LEPPARD, POISON and JOAN JETT — that’s generating a lot of… If that show goes down because somebody whatever, you just lose money, and you can only lose so many shows...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nike / Jordan Brand It’s been more than two decades since Michael Jordan retired from the game of basketball and still we can’t get enough of him whether it be through his classic sneaker silhouettes or videos of his greatness. While we know what Air Jordan did for the game in the United States in the 80’s and 90’s, many don’t know just how he impacted the culture out in London in the mid 80’s. Looking to put people on to the little known story, Nike teamed with director Sekou Abineri, to create a short film detailing a young Michael Jordan’s influence on Brixton Topcats when he went to visit and train with them out in the UK. Though he wasn’t the 6-time NBA Champion/GOAT at the time, he was still the biggest NBA star to ever head out there and lend ...
