Daft Punk continue to influence the world in ways you’d least expect it. Madison Chock and Evan Bates, a U.S. pairs figure skating team, brought the influence of electronic music’s favorite robots to the world’s oldest Olympic sport. The two crafted a stunning routine structured around a medley of Daft Punk tracks including “Contact,” “Touch,” and “Within” from Random Access Memories. The routine was performed at the 2021 Free Dance Finlandia tournament, where Chock and Bates smoothly glided their way to a second place finish. Though they may not have walked away with top honors, Chock and Bates were praised heavily online by figure skating fans for their risk-taking spirit: “I can’t recall anything similar, with ...
Megan Thee Stallion continues to be in the Halloween spirit. On Friday (Oct. 22), the “Thot Shit” rapper took to Instagram to share her newest set of spooky nails. “Spooky $et,” the rapper captioned the post of her nails, which features several versions of Ghostface from Scream — one face is bejeweled, while the others are sparkly, starry-eyed and bloody.

Finishing off the rapper’s photo set was a screen grab from the 2000 Scream spoof Scary Movie, where “Ghostface” is on the phone telling the person on the other end of the receiver that he’s “just chillin’, ...
Of course, the story of Sid and Nancy doesn’t have a happy ending: Spungen was found dead from a stab wound at New York’s Chelsea Hotel in October 1978 after a night with Vicious, who was charged with her murder but ended up dying of a heroin overdose four months later before he could stand trial. The couple was immortalized in the 1986 biopic Sid and Nancy, with Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb starring as the pair. See photos below: Barker and Kardashian announced their engagement Sunday via Instagram posts with the simple caption “forever.” The couple — who have been friends for years — reportedly began dating in January before making it Instagram-official on Valentine’s Day, when Kardashian shared a photo of their inter...

Porter continued, saying that having Styles represent the mainstream move toward more inclusive fashion erased the people who have fought for such a move — including himself. “I’m not dragging Harry Styles, but he is the one you’re going to try and use to represent this new conversation? He doesn’t care, he’s just doing it because it’s the thing to do,” he said. “This is politics for me. This is my life. I had to fight my entire life to get to the place where I could wear a dress to the Oscars and not be gunned now. All he has to do is be white and straight.” In his interview for Vogue back in November, Styles highlighted the importance of breaking down gender barriers, while citing personal heroes like Prince, David Bowie and Elton Joh...
What happens in the locker room stays in the locker room, right? Apparently, all bets are off when Robyn is involved. This week, the Boston Red Sox got down to a version of the iconic dance music artist’s timeless 2010 hit, “Dancing On My Own,” in a viral video. Cause for celebration was their October 11th win against the Tampa Bay Rays, clinching their upcoming appearance in the American League Championship Series. “Bonkers,” Robyn stated simply in a quote tweet. The specific song version was Tiësto‘s remix of a 2016 cover by Calum Scott. In the clip, the team can be seen euphorically singing the lyrics, which they know by heart, to the electro-pop classic. They’re even wearing yellow ski goggles to shield their eyes from a n...

For MGK’s turn, he also led with the tattoo question, which Fox was unable to answer. “It’s literally impossible to calculate because you tattooed on top of your tattoos, so I couldn’t say,” she responded. Fox was later able to provide an extremely detailed account when MGK asked her what his astrological sign is, and told him, “Your sun is Taurus, your moon is Pisces, your rising is Gemini. You have a stellium of planets in Pisces. You’re sun is in the 12th house, which is the house that’s ruled by Neptune, which is the ruler of Pisces. You’re very Piscean and you’re very Gemini, very morose and the moods are very intense.” During the game, Fox also revealed that she has listened to Machine Gun Kelly’s upcoming sixth ...

French dance music artist Charles B threw quite a party over the weekend—30,000 feet in the air. The Parisian DJ entertained travelers on an international flight with a full performance which spanned the entire trip from Paris to Malta, he told EDM.com. The two-and-a half-hour set saw Charles dropping a medley of house tunes, from surefire party starters such as Daft Punk’s “One More Time” to singalong cuts like David Guetta’s remix of Shouse’s “Love Tonight.” The normal cabin lights were dimmed down, leaving a rapid swirl of neon lights from external machines and the glow of passengers donning LED headwear to wash the area in a sea of color.
