Penny Lane from The Beatles Song “in Danger of Being Renamed” over Possible Slavery Ties
As the Black Lives Matter movement continues to surge worldwide, citizens and governments alike are being forced to reconsider monuments to heritages of racism. In America, everyone from GWAR to Taylor Swift is calling for the removal of confederate statues, with one petition proposing they be replaced with ones of Dolly Parton. Meanwhile, over in Liverpool, England, folks are seeking to rename the famed Penny Lane — immortalized in the classic song by The Beatles — over its purported connection to the slave trade. It seems many believe the road was named for James Penny, a slave merchant who spoke against abolition in Parliament. Last week, as protests over racial injustice and inequality gripped the country, signs for the street were defaced and graffitied, with “racist” being sprayed ab...
Lee Carvallo’s Putting Challenge Now An Actual Playable Game
Boredom is at an all-time high thanks to the ongoing quarantine, so perhaps now is the best time for the world to finally experience Lee Carvallo’s Putting Challenge. The Simpsons joke game has been turned into an actual playable online simulation. The original Lee Carvallo’s Putting Challenge game was referenced in “Marge Be Not Proud”, a season 7 Simpsons episode that aired in 1995. Its storyline focused on Bart, who was caught attempting to shoplift an expensive and violent Mortal Kombat-style game called Bonestorm. In lieu of Bonestorm, Comic Book Guy suggests Bart purchase a cheaper and extremely dull alternative: Lee Carvallo’s Putting Challenge. In the episode, Carvallo is voiced by Dan Castellaneta, the actor who also plays Homer. <img data-attachment-id="1044878" data...
An Oral History of Gremlins 2: The New Batch
Feature artwork by Cody Schibi (Purchase Prints + More). Few movies are written with a sequel in mind. That is, of course, if you have a franchise planned, in which case you’re being both ambitious and presumptuous. Even rarer is a movie that demands a sequel. Sure, there are a few rare gems that manage to further the storyline, or at least retain some of the magical elements that made their predecessor work so well. But, more often than not, sequels just feel like a retread and another sign that Hollywood is running out of ideas. Gremlins 2: The New Batch is an exception to that rule. In 1989, director Joe Dante was given complete creative control by Warner Bros. to followup 1984’s Gremlins — and he milked that control for everything it was worth. There’s breaking the fourth wall in an on...
The Killers Return to Ellen DeGeneres Show With ‘Caution’
Since announcing their upcoming album, Imploding the Mirage, The Killers are giving fans some unconventional and stripped-down performances of “Caution,” the first single from it. However, as things are moving towards some sense of normalcy, Brandon Flowers and the rest of the band got together in the studio to do a full band performance of the song for Ellen DeGeneres Show, where they made their daytime television debut almost eight years ago. Flowers and drummer Ronnie Vanucci have previously played the track on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and from the lead singer’s bathroom for Jimmy Kimmel Live. They have also released “Fire in the Bone” and “Blowback.” Last week, the band shared a new version of “Land of the Free” with lyrics to reflect the murder of George Floyd. Watc...
Cold War Kids Unveil Short Tour Documentary Covering New Age Norms 1 Tour
If you’ve ever wondered what the guys in Cold War Kids do backstage, offstage, and occasionally onstage while on the road, you can now get a pretty good feel for it. The 11-minute tour documentary follows the band through their winter tour from just a few short months ago, providing an intimate look at the band’s daily life while touring. Seeing as many bands won’t be able to commit to full tours or music festivals again until COVID-19 is under control, the documentary is a good way to not only educate fans on what actually happens behind the scenes but also remind them of what a packed music venue looks and sounds like — a foreign concept in the age of social distancing. More than anything though, it’s a way for Cold War Kids to give their fans some new material as they wait for the ...
Faith Evans Domestic Violence Case Dismissed, Stevie J Ain’t No Snitch
Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Faith Evans is off the hook. The domestic violence charges against the R&B singer have been dismissed, mostly because Stevie J wasn’t going to testify against her. According to TMZ, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is declining to prosecute the “You Used To Love Me” singer because Stevie J, the alleged victim and her husband, has declined to cooperate. Last month, Faith got pinched after getting into a heated argument at their home that allegedly turned violent. It was reportedly Stevie J who called the cops (okay, so he is kind of a snitch), but he supposedly only wanted her removed from the home, not arrested. However, the cops had to take Faith in after they noticed scratches on reality TV star Stevie J’s arms. In light of current events...
Ex-NYPD Spokesman Blasts NYPD For Killing Eric Garner

(Photo by Andrew Lichtenstein/Corbis via Getty Images) As painful and disturbing it was to watch George Floyd’s final moments and hear his final words of “I can’t breathe,” his murder sparked a historic movement that will hopefully be felt for generations to come. Now that many have been forced to do some soul searching and reflecting, former New York City Police Department spokesman, Michael DeBonis looked back on the 2014 death of Eric Garner at the hands of NYPD and admitted what we already knew, they kil...
#SayHerName: Beyoncé Sends Letter To AG Calling For “Swift” Justice For Breonna Taylor
Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty The Carters are remaining active and demand justice for those who died at the hands of law enforcement. Beyoncé is making sure the Breonna Taylor’s name is not lost and forgotten in all of the noise. The Lemonade crafter made it abundantly clear that she wants “swift justice for Breonna Taylor, who died after she was shot in her own Louisville apartment by cops executing a “no-knock warrant.” In a letter sent to the Attorney General Daniel Cameron posted on her official website on June 14, she called for the AG to “commit to transparency in the investigation and prosecution of these officer’s criminal conduct” and to investigate the police department’s inadequate response to Taylor’s murder.” “Your office has both the power and the responsibility to bring justic...
LisaRaye McCoy Responds To Nicki Minaj’s “Trollz” Shot, Stands By Her Statement
Source: Leon Bennett / Getty Now that Nicki Minaj is back on the rap scene it seems like her feud with LisaRaye is going to be a hot topic for the foreseeable future. According to Madamenoire the drama started when LisaRaye weighed in on the Nicki Minaj/Lil Kim situation and suggested that Nicki “bow down” to the Queen Bee due to her seniority in the rap game during her appearance on Claudia Jordan’s Fox Soul show, Out Loud With Claudia Jordan. “We can all stand together Queens and say that all of us are acknowledging the fact that Lil Kim came before Nicki Minaj so Nicki just take a seat. You don’t have to sit down for long. But just take a bow. Just like Beyoncé said, ‘Bow down bitches.” Needless to say Nicki’s social media army, “The Barbz” came for Jordan with Nicki even threatening Jo...
