Seth MacFarlane Reveals He Regrets Keeping ‘Family Guy’ on Fox
Seth MacFarlane recently took to Twitter to reveal he is still unhappy with the fact that his show, Family Guy is still on Fox. The series first premiered on Fox in January 1999 and has remained on the network since then. In September 2020, it was revealed that Family Guy was renewed for two more seasons by Fox. MacFarlane has since expressed that he wants to move the show to another network, claiming that Fox News host Tucker Carlson is the reason. MacFarlane wrote on Twitter, “Tucker Carlson’s latest opinion piece once again makes me wish Family Guy was on any other network. Look, Fox, we both know this marriage isn’t working anymore. The sex is only once a year, I don’t get along with your mother, and well…I’ve been having an affair with NBC.” It has long been known that MacFarlane and ...

Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge Reunite to Talk Blink-182, UFOs, and M. Night Shyamalan
Former Blink-182 bandmates Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge reunited on the latest episode of Hoppus’ After School Radio podcast. The two legends spoke about UFOs, the time M. Night Shyamalan almost directed a Blink-182 music video, and of course, dick jokes. “Why do you think that you and I can go five years without talking and then just get on the phone and pick up like nothing ever happened?” Hoppus asked. “Because we appreciate dick jokes in a way that no one else does,” DeLonge replied. “It boils down to only that, there is nothing else.” Hoppus agreed. “I think so, because the first time that we met, I think it was dick jokes from the beginning in your garage.” “Yeah,” his old friend said. “It’s a dialogue. It’s a language.” Advertisement Related Video Later, Hoppus recalled bei...
Chris Cornell’s Final Portraits to Be Auctioned as NFTs
Images from Chris Cornell’s last photoshoot are set to be minted and auctioned off as a pair of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The portraits were taken by Randall Slavin just before the Soundgarden frontman’s untimely passing in 2017. Instead of publishing them, the photographer has held onto the photos until now, and is only turning them into NFTs with the permission of the late rocker’s wife, Vicky Cornell. Titled “Until We Disappear” and “White Roses for My Soul to Keep,” the two cryptographs are slated to be auctioned off tomorrow (August 5th) at 12:00 p.m. ET. “Disappear” is a moving image of Cornell against a background of clouds, while “My Soul” is a video flip-book of every frame Slavin shot of the singer during the shoot. You can check out previews of both, as well as a trailer for t...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Even though he is a music icon Dr. Dre doesn’t have the best track record with delivering new music. Apparently Grandmaster Flash has heard his new album and according to him it will change the game. As spotted on HipHopDX the legendary DJ was out and about last week. During his rounds in Los Angeles last week the founding member of N.W.A. invited him to pull up to his estate.

Luckily the Bronx, New York native got just that and received an early listen to a forthcoming Dr. Dre project.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jeff Neira / Getty With the Delta variant (and Delta Plus) of the Coronavirus now infecting both the unvaccinated and vaccinated people at an alarming rate, President Barack Obama has made a change of plans in his upcoming 60th birthday party as he’s taking the kind of precautions everyone should be taking these days. According to Raw Story the birthday bash that’s to take place this weekend at Martha’s Vineyard has cut down the guest list which included hundreds of famous celebrities to just close family and friends to ensure everyone’s safety as the Delta variant runs rampant across society. “Due to the new spread of the Delta variant over the past week, the president and Mrs Obama have decided to significantly scale back the event to include only famil...
DaBaby Reportedly DaDropped The Ball on Delivering Apologies To Festivals
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Radio One Digital / @Stretchd_34 for Radio One Digital It’s been a bad week for DaBaby, who’s now been dropped from a few music festivals including last weekend’s Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, Illinois. And the word is that once again, he did it to himself. The North Carolina rapper found himself in the midst of heavy backlash after viral video emerged of him making a homophobic rant during his set at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami on July 25th. After notable musicians such as Questlove and Sir Elton John took him to task, he made a lackluster apology via social media. After that faltered, representatives for DaBaby reached out to seven music festivals that he was scheduled to appear at on July 28th. They assured the promoters at each festival, wi...

HARD Summer 2021: Here are the Highlights of the SoCal Music Festival’s Return
After two years, HARD Summer brought over 160,000 ravers back together for a weekend full of electronic music and long-awaited fun. With over six stages, dazzling light displays, and a giant glowing ferris wheel, the festival felt like a smaller EDC. Fans gathered like moths to the bright and vibrant lights, and the energy was palpable after over a year in isolation for most. San Bernardino temperatures hovered around 100°, but thankfully Insomniac provided copious free water stations, shady, grassy areas and misting stations for their festival-goers to cool down. The hydrating drink of the weekend was Liquid Death. Contrary to its aggressive name, it was just water, the idea being to “murder your thirst” and save the earth with their plastic-free recyclable cans. Stages: Pyrotechnics...
