Kim Kardashian Slams Critics Who Questioned North West’s Impressive Painting Skills: ‘How Dare You’
“DON’T PLAY WITH ME WHEN IT COMES TO MY CHILDREN!!!” Kardashian wrote in response to the criticism. “My daughter and her best friend have been taking a serious oil painting class where their talents and creativity are being encouraged and nurtured. North worked incredibly hard on her painting which took several weeks to complete.” “As a proud mom, I wanted to share her work with everyone,” she continued. “I’m seeing op-ed pieces in the media and social media from grown adults breaking down whether or not my child actually painted this! How dare you see children doing awesome things and then try to accuse them of NOT being awesome!?!?!” “Please stop embarrassing yourselves with the negativity and allow every child to be GREAT...
Rebecca Black Transforms ‘Friday’ Into a Hyperpop Symphony With Help From Big Freedia, 3OH!3 & More
By the time 3OH!3 arrives to declare that they’re “sick of living through these Monday, Tuesday, Wednesdays” for the bridge, the track completely changes once again to an ethereal, synth-filled chorale. But Big Freedia quickly rips the song back into a thrumming dance rhythm, as the Queen of Bounce commands you to “Make it clap like you’re grateful/ Make it clap like you’re blessed/ Make it clap clap, dance in your backseat, ain’t nobody strapped.” “I’d had the idea to do this remix of Friday for years leading up to now, but honestly it was also mildly insane for me to think anyone else would want to be a part of it,” Black said of the song in a statement. “As I started talking about it with other artists and producers, I couldn’t...

The Weeknd’s ‘The Highlights’ Proves That Greatest-Hits Albums Can Still Work in 2021
On the Pop Shop Podcast, we discuss the status of greatest-hits albums — including our favorite hits collections of all time. If you loved The Weeknd‘s Super Bowl halftime show and want to listen to all the songs he performed (and then some!) in one place, you’re in luck: On Friday, ahead of his big Super Bowl Sunday set, the Canadian superstar dropped The Highlights, an 18-track collection that ties all his biggest hits up in a bow. Of course, in the age of streaming and digital music, greatest-hits packages are not as prevalent as they once were.
