World-renowned guitarist/songwriter Mark Tremonti will release the fifth album from his solo band TREMONTI, titled “Marching In Time”, on September 24, 2021 via Napalm Records. The official music video for the LP’s second single, the title track, can be seen below.

I know many of my close friends and family would’ve preferred to hear this privately first — and I apologize for the public nature of my disclosure, but I don’t know how to have this conversation multiple times. “Given my personal medical history and the side-effect profile of these jabs, my doctor has advised me no...

Scarlett Johansson “Shocked” by Disney’s Response to ‘Black Widow’ Lawsuit
Scarlett Johansson was reportedly taken aback by Disney‘s response to the ongoing lawsuit involving Black Widow, the actress’ representatives told The Wrap. The Marvel staple’s team shared that she was “shocked by the tone” of Disney’s statement, which claimed that Johansson’s lawsuit was “especially sad and distressing in its callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.” The entertainment conglomerate also revealed that she earned $20 million USD from the franchise and that “the release of Black Widow on Disney+ with Premier Access has significantly enhanced her ability to earn additional compensation.” Johansson’s agent, Bryan Lourd, also previously issued his own statement in regards to the matter, alleging that Disney is “shamelessly and fal...
Anime Opening Themes Are Being Played During the 2021 Tokyo Olympics
Anime fans are getting excited about each new 2021 Tokyo Olympic event but not for the reasons you think. Since the opening theme for ZOIDS was heard during the first day of competitions, users have been making it a game in trying to identify each of the anime themes being used at this year’s Olympic Games. Tracks like Attack on Titan‘s “Guren no Yumiya” (Crimson Bow and Arrow) and Demon Slayer‘s “Gurenge” (Crimson Flower/Red Lotus) were used in the archery events, while the Slam Dunk and Haikyuu!! themes were aptly used for the women’s basketball and men’s volleyball matches, respectively. We will admit though, it was a bit weird hearing Ghost in the Shell 2‘s “Kugutsuuta ura mite chiru” for women’s Judo, even if it sort of made sense. 男子バレーお疲れ様でした?今日もハイキューの「ヒカリアレ」が流れててテンションがあがりましたね!!ヒカリア...

When Are Young Women In Pop Allowed To Grow Up?
By Larisha Paul At a certain point, Billie Eilish made a decision about how she wanted to present herself to the world. Since her first release at age 14, she’s been candid about her choice to wear baggy, oversized clothing so as to not be oversexualized to the point of her body detracting from her talent. She was commended for making such a mature decision at such a young age; then, at 19, she changed her mind. Updating her image accordingly, Eilish modeled a classic Hollywood-style corset and latex skirt on the cover of British Vogue’s June 2021 issue. Both choices were validated by the same self-assurance when she made them, yet the one in which she wrangled back her autonomy was met with far more criticism. What was quickly received as a pop artist sexualizing herself for the sake of s...
