Harry Styles Offers ‘The Notebook’-Inspired Dating Advice During a Concert: Watch
Harry Styles turned into a relationship guru on stage during his concert Wednesday night (Sept. 22) when a concertgoer held up a sign that read, “Should I text him?” The “Treat People With Kindness” pop star, who’s been back on the road for his rescheduled Love On Tour, paused his show in St. Paul, Minn., to advise the attendee on the best course of action while asking a very important (and on brand) question. “Is he nice to you?” he first asked, addressing the fine line between wondering if she should text at all or text him again. “In my opinion, if you should, this isn’t even a question. If we’re wondering if we’re playing games. If we’re wondering, ‘Should I text him? Should I not text him? I can...
Marilyn Manson Rape Accuser Refiles Complaint After Judge Dismisses Original Lawsuit
In the revived complaint obtained by Billboard, lawyers for Jane Doe write that she cannot be exact about when her memories of assault were repressed, but that they were at least repressed by the time she traveled to Australia on July 3, 2011. The trip was roughly a week after the accuser claims Manson raped her after she came to his home to return his key and effectively end the relationship that began consensually in February 2011. The complaint adds that following the alleged assault, Manson allegedly threatened to kill Jane Doe, and said he would “bash her head in.” It goes on to claim that he stated he would “get away with it” because he was a “celebrity who had contacts with the police.” A spokesperson for Manson said the shock rocker h...

Nirvana “Nevermind Baby” Wants His Naked Image Removed from 30th Anniversary Reissue
Thirty years ago today (September 24th), Nirvana changed the shape of rock to come with their magnum opus, Nevermind, which boasted one of the most iconic album covers of all time. The 1991 grunge landmark is getting an expansive reissue for the occasion, but Spencer Elden — who posed as the swimming naked baby that graces Nevermind‘s cover — wants to leave his genitalia out of the artwork. Last month, Elden sued Kurt Cobain’s estate, the surviving members of Nirvana, and other parties, accusing them of child exploitation. He claimed that his legal guardians didn’t formally consent to his image being used on the album cover. Legal experts have called the case “frivolous” and “offensive” to victims of child pornography. As part of the lawsuit, Elden requested that the image be rem...
Rebel Rock Festival Canceled Just Hours Before Gates Were Set to Open
Rebel Rock Festival, which was set to take place in Orlando, Florida, today (September 24th) through Sunday (September 26th), has been canceled just hours before it was set to begin. Unfortunately, severe weather leading up to the festival made the grounds unfit for fans. The fest was able to stage its “Taco Metal Party” last night, although headliner Volbeat was forced to drop out due to visa issues. However, there wasn’t enough time to make the rest of the grounds safe for the three-day main festival, which was set to feature Five Finger Death Punch, Machine Gun Kelly, Rise Against, Papa Roach, The Used, Philip Anselmo, Killswitch Engage, and many more acts. According to comments on the Rebel Rock Instagram page, many fans had just flown into Orlando and some were already in line for tod...
Michael K. Williams’ Cause of Death Confirmed as Accidental Overdose
Michael K. Williams died of an accidental overdose after ingesting a mix of fentanyl, p-fluorofentanyl, heroin, and cocaine, a coroner has determined. The Wire actor’s official cause of death was determined by the New York City Chief Medical Examiner on Friday and first reported by TMZ. Williams was found dead in his Brooklyn apartment on September 6th. Police had said drug paraphernalia was found at the scene and launched an investigation into the cause of his death. Just 54 at the time of his passing, the Emmy Award-nominated actor tragically developed an addiction to drugs while immersing himself into the role of stickup man Omar Little in HBO’s The Wire. Earlier this year, Williams spoke about starting therapy for the first time to unpack the issues behind his addictions...
On New Track “Big Energy,” Lupe Fiasco Honors Late Comedian and Activist Dick Gregory
Following the premiere of Andre Gaines’ The One And Only Dick Gregory this past summer, Lupe Fiasco has shared a musical tribute to the comedian and civil rights activist. On “Big Energy,” Fiasco describes the lifelong work of Gregory, who notably used his comedy sets as a platform for addressing bigotry and racial injustice in the U.S. The documentary, which was released by Showtime in July, takes a closer look at the life and career of Gregory. Alongside Gaines as its director, Kevin Hart and Lena Waithe worked on the project as executive producers. The film featured footage of Gregory, who passed away in 2017, and interviews with prominent Black comedians today, including Hart and Waithe, as well as Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Wanda Sykes and more. “Bout to get heavy, hope you’re ready,...
‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ Receives New Character Posters
Before the action kicks off two weeks from now, Sony Pictures reveals four new character posters giving fans a little extra to think about ahead of Marvel‘s Venom 2 premiere. While the blood-red Carnage/Kasady played by Woody Harrelson, Venom/Eddie Brock starring Tom Hardy, and Shriek played by Naomie Harris were revealed in the official trailer. The new character posters offer a new development. Michelle Williams‘ poster hints at a She-Venom silhouette, further validated by an Instagram caption that reads “She’s back in black” as seen below. The comic book adaptation has seen six release date changes due to uncertain circumstances, so the posters also serve as reassurance for the expecting fans. Earlier this month, the movie’s test screening yielded a strongly positive response with an em...
Red Hot Chili Peppers’Blood Sugar Sex Magik Turns 30: Artists Reflect on Its Legacy
“There’s the thing with the Chili Peppers: We put socks on our dicks, and we’re never going to outrun it,” Flea told GQ in 2019. “People are always going to think of that. I feel that ultimately the measure of art that we or I created, as good as it is, over time will stand for what it is. The core essence of it, the cerebral part of it — the emotional, spiritual, and physical — are things that will always survive.” With the Red Hot Chili Peppers, there’s always been that delicate balance of junk-swinging funk-rock jock and peace-promoting psychedelic muso. And no album better represents that symbiosis than the group’s 1991 blockbuster, Blood Sugar Sex Magik. While it may be forever remembered for a handful of massive singles (the pulverizing “Give It Away,” the pensive “Under the Bridge”)...
Red Hot Chili Peppers Announce 2022 World Tour With Satirical News Broadcast
The Red Hot Chili Peppers will be embarking on a worldwide tour next summer, the band’s first since its original guitarist, John Frusciante, made his return to the group. The global tour was announced via a satirical breaking news announcement for a faux station called KHOT. In the teaser, lead vocalist Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea serve as co-anchors named Johnson Hammerswaddle and Todd the Squirrel, respectively. Drummer Chad Smith gives a report as weatherman Randy Raindrops before Frusciante, as himself, sits down with the anchor duo. “John, might we expect you and the fellas to play live anytime soon?” Flea’s character asks. “We’re going to do a tour starting in June 2022,” Frusciante cooly responds, setting the anchors into hysterics. Frusciante goes on to share that the U.S. leg ...
