Hulu Shares First Trailer of Paul McCartney Docuseries with Rick Rubin: Watch
Though it’s been over 60 years since Paul McCartney joined the burgeoning rock ‘n’ roll band that would eventually become The Beatles, there’s still lots to uncover about his history as one of the world’s biggest rock stars. Later this month, Hulu is launching McCartney 3,2,1, an original six-part documentary series in which host Rick Rubin interviews the singer-songwriter about his life in music. Its first trailer has now been unveiled, with the series premiering on July 16th. Shot in black-and-white, the series’ trailer promises “untold stories,” “unheard music,” and “unforgettable memories,” although it will of course include plenty of familiar songs to warm Beatleheads’ hearts. The trailer alone is pretty profound, as Macca remembers his early days working with George Harrison, Ringo S...

Pile are going back to the beginning. The indie rock band founded by Rick Maguire has announced their eighth studio album today, Songs Known Together, Alone, out August 10th via Exploding In Sound.

Bill Cosby Planning Standup Comedy Tour Following Prison Release
Fresh off his overturned conviction for sexual assault, Bill Cosby is ready to make his return to show business. That’s right, the disgraced comedian wants to mount a full-blown standup comedy tour. According to TMZ, Cosby’s spokesperson Andrew Wyatt confirmed the 83-year-old’s team has started reaching out to club promoters across the country, with many allegedly saying they’d be open to having him perform. “The world wants to see Mr. Cosby,” Wyatt told the gossip outlet. Among those who likely aren’t interested in seeing Cosby back in the limelight are the more than 60 women who’ve come forward with allegations of the former Cosby Show star engaging in rape, drug-induced sexual assault, sexual battery, and child sexual abuse. In 2018, Cosby was convicted of three counts of aggravated ind...
Ludacris Addresses Rumors of Potential ‘Fast & Furious’ and ‘Jurassic World’ Crossover Film
In recent months, fans of the Fast & Furious have been toying with an idea that brings together the cinematic universe in the most unexpected of ways. A purely hypothetical crossover would see the Fast franchise collide worlds with Jurassic World. Wanda Sykes, who recently guest-hosted an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, proposed the fan mashup to Ludacris. Ludacris commented on the potential rumors sharing, “That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life. I’m just going to be honest with you. Look, they surprised me in this franchise with a lot of things of how we continue to top ourselves. But nowhere in my right mind do I see Jurassic World and Fast & Furious coming together. Maybe they gotta convince me but I just don’t see it. That’s ludicrous. Pun intended, f...
Bong Joon-ho Reveals New Details Regarding ‘Parasite’ TV Show Spin-Off
Last year, HBO announced that Oscar-winning director Bong Joon-ho will be helming a new HBO project that will bring the critically acclaimed film, Parasite to TV. Bong will work alongside Succession‘s Adam McKay to bring a Parasite-inspired TV show. IndieWire reported on Bong speaking about the project at length at the recent Cannes Film Festival stating, “Parasite is a film on wealthy and poor families, and that is a problem everywhere. [The television series] will be something of great genius, I hope. I worked with Adam McKay and he’s figuring out the scenario. We’re going to do it in the United States.” The director added, “The subject continues to have resonance in France and elsewhere. Many of [us] would like to be rich, but I think in all of us there is a fear of becoming poor. I’m i...
Megan Fox Has This to Say to Anyone Who Questions Her & Machine Gun Kelly’s Age Difference
“Four years? Go f— yourself. We would have been in high school together.” Anyone who thinks Megan Fox is dating a much “younger man” might be surprised to learn that the actress is 35 and her boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly is 31, so just four years separate them. In a new interview with InStyle, Fox slams those critics, saying they wouldn’t bat an eye if a man were dating a woman four years younger than him but act like she’s robbing the cradle. “You want to talk about patriarchy?” Fox says. “The fact that he’s four years younger than me, and people want to act like I’m dating a younger man. He’s 31, and I’m 35. Granted, he’s lived like he’s 19 his whole life, but he isn’t 19. No one wou...
Ringo Starr Celebrates 81st Birthday in Beverly Hills: ‘This Is a Full Peace and Love Day’
“Peace and love. Peace and love,” proclaimed Starr, clad in black Adidas track pants and sneakers paired with a denim jacket and a black T-shirt emblazoned with a rainbow-colored hand flashing the peace sign. “Even Joe Walsh got out of bed for it.” It was a nice day for it, too, with sunny skies and temperatures in the 90210 hovering in the upper 70s. Starr arrived at the event around 11:40 a.m. and hustled through a series of interviews on the press line to make the noon deadline. He shared his enthusiasm for being able to attend such an event after an extended period of COVID-19 lockdowns, which forced him to cancel several tours. Starr still managed to release a five-track EP in March, Zoom In, and has another one ready to debut in September. But as for Wednesday, his schedule included ...
Adele Goes Wild About Harry Kane’s Winning Goal for England
The north Londoner shared video of her celebrating the winning goal, scored by the England captain Harry Kane, his tenth for England across the past two tournaments. “ITS BLOODY COMING HOME,” she wrote, paraphrasing the chant from the classic football anthem “3 Lions,” which is currently charging up the U.K. singles chart. Adele has multiple reasons to feel the thrills. Kane is the marksman for her beloved Tottenham Hotspur, and England play the final (against Italy) on home turf, Wembley Stadium, where the team has a chance to wipe away 55 years of “hurt.” England has not won a major trophy since hoisting the 1966 World Cup, the final of which was hosted on the same site. Check out Adele’s Instagram below. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we re...

To Migos, Jewelry in Hip-Hop Is a Symbol of the American Dream
Whether it be iced-out chains with customized pendants, diamond clustered tennis necklaces, bust down Audemars Piguets or four karat rose-cut diamond earrings, jewelry has long been used as a symbol of success in hip-hop music.

Iggy Azalea Slams Accusations Of ‘Blackfishing” In New Music Video: “ Who Cares? Let ‘Em Talk”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Matt Jelonek / Getty If she raps with a blaccent and appears dark like a blackfish, then Iggy Azalea’s latest attention-grabbing antics must be problematic, right? That’s what critics on Twitter are saying after the rapper appeared on social media debuting a shockingly darker appearance from her latest music video “I Am The Strip Club.” According to The Grio, the drama went down after the rapper released the new song and its accompanying video last Friday. In the video, Azalea wears a long black lacefront wig with a deep bronze skin tone. The jarring hue change reaches beyond a sunkissed look that fair-skinned people may naturally achieve if tanning under the sun. Immediately social media was in an uproar flooding the timeline with...
