If the Great Potato Return wasn’t enough to make Taco Bell your fast food joint of choice, allow Lil Nas X to step in. Today, the “Old Town Road” phenomenon was announced as the chain’s first chief impact officer. This new role will reportedly see him take on an array of creatively-focused opportunities, including some “menu innovations” and “an exclusive experience” focused around the release of his forthcoming debut album, Montero. Lil Nas X is the first to hold this honorary role, which “combines food, music, and philanthropy.” As Billboard points out, he’ll also be teaming with the Taco Bell Foundation to benefit creative youth via the Live Más Scholarship, and will appear in the restaurant’s breakfast campaign. More “fan engagement opportunities” will be announced later this year. The...

NBCU Is Ready for ‘The Office’ Reboot Whenever Creator Greg Daniels Is
NBCUniversal is keeping its doors open for a possible reboot of The Office, but only when creator Greg Daniels wants one. In a recent interview, NBCU content chief Susan Rovner shared that the network is prepared for the beloved show’s return. “Whenever Greg Daniels wants to do one, we’re standing by,” she said during a panel session after initially stating “no comment” to the question of a reboot. Daniels himself isn’t opposed to working on The Office again, but his schedule is quite busy as he works on shows like Netflix’s Space Force and Amazon’s Upload. “It’s not impossible,” he told Collider in January. “It’s not impossible for sure. I would want to be involved, and I’ve got two other shows I’m working on right now.” Despite ending in almost a decade ago, The Office proves to be one o...
Netflix Shares Trailer of True Crime Docuseries ‘Monsters Inside: The 24 Faces of Billy Milligan’
Netflix has shared the trailer for its upcoming true crime documentary series, Monsters Inside: The 24 Faces of Billy Milligan. Directed by Olivier Megaton, Monsters Inside explores the first-of-its-kind case of Billy Milligan, who was arrested in 1977 for three rapes on the Ohio State University campus. The trial piqued the interest of the nation as he was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder and his lawyers pled insanity, claiming that two out of his 24 personalities committed the crimes without Mulligan knowing: In 1977, a serial rapist struck Ohio State University. Overwhelming evidence quickly led investigators to Billy Milligan, an aimless young man with a traumatic childhood and a criminal record. Yet upon his arrest, Billy had no memory of the assaults, and his mannerisms ...
Tory Lanez Bail Increased After Violating Megan Thee Stallion Protective Order at Rolling Loud Miami
The penalty comes nearly one month after Lanez made a surprise appearance at the Rolling Loud Miami festival on July 25, in which he joined DaBaby onstage to perform — moments after Megan Thee Stallion delivered her set. For Lanez, attending and performing at the event was in violation of the protective order he was issued in October, which mandated that he stay at least 100 yards away from Megan at all times. At one point in court, the judge revealed that he was going to issue Lanez a court-ordered tracking device. But the rapper’s attorney, Shawn Holley, helped prevent the measure by giving a series of arguments. She said, “It was a unique circumstance, errors in judgement were made, but this can easily be prevented from happening again.” She went on to say, &...

Kelly Clarkson Talks Ariana Grande on ‘The Voice’: ‘She’s Hysterical’

The new season is taped up until the live episodes, and “everybody vibes so well,” says Clarkson.

G2 Fails to Qualify for ‘League of Legends’ Worlds for First Time in Team’s History
For the first time since the team’s inception, G2 Esports have failed to qualify for the League of Legends World Championship this year. Pit against Fnatic during the LEC semifinals over in Europe, G2 suffered a close 2-3 loss after an intense five-game contest between two of the continent’s greatest sides. Fnatic went off on a good start during the early phases of the matches, but G2 managed to overpower the U.K.-based team to take a 2-1 lead after the first three games. Unfortunately, this was when the tide turned with Fnatic coming back stronger than ever. Top laner Adam’s surprise pick Darius kept G2’s Wunder at bay for the whole of the first 10 minutes, while teammates Bwipo and Hylissang pressured the game’s pace on until G2 failed to keep up. With this victory, Fnatic’s Upset finall...
