Lady Gaga Swoons Over Her Giant Birthday Bouquet From Boyfriend Michael Polansky
During an April 2020 interview, the star revealed during a chat on MSNBC’s Morning Joe just how she feels about the executive director of the Parker Foundation while discussing the impact of the pandemic on mental health. “With Born This Way Foundation, my mother, Cynthia Germanotta, and our co-founder Maya [Enista Smith], who I love so very much — they are working with my, the love of my life, on something for mental health,” she shared at the time. The singer made their relationship Instagram official earlier last year when she shared a photo of the two of them cuddling while in quarantine.

Former Creative Director for Daft Punk Renovates Hong Kong Nightclub
Long-time Daft Punk collaborator Cédric Hervet and his cousin, Nicolas Hervet, were enlisted to overhaul the interior of Hong Kong’s Cassio nightclub. For 15 years, Cédric acted as Daft Punk’s creative director. His contributions are immeasurable and include album design as well as stage production for their 2014 Grammys performance. Cédric claims that the elegance and festive atmosphere led to their remodel being inspired by The Great Gatsby. “When we first discovered Cassio and the elegance of the place combined with the festive atmosphere, we immediately pictured The Great Gatsby,” he told Tatler. “We thought it could be interesting to create a bridge between the 1920s and today.” The cousin duo did a magnificent job communicating their vision, exp...
Justin Bieber Might Get a ‘Peaches’ Tattoo, But It Won’t Be On This Part of His Body
“I promised myself, like I didn’t want to get tattoos on your hands. And so I don’t think I’m gonna get tattoos on my hands,” he explained. “Something about just being able to wear a suit and not having tattoos on my hands; I don’t know.” He pointed out that his legs and feet are the only available real estate on his body for new ink. But if he needed more Justice-related inspo, he could also turn to his favorite lyric off the album from its opener “2 Much”: “Don’t want to fall asleep, I’d rather fall in love.” The singer also opened up in the interview about his wife’s positive impact on his life in the song “Unstable” and what he’s doing to stay healthier, highlighting his key...

6 EDM Songs That Are Also Badass “Breaking Bad” Quotes
It’s been nearly eight years since the shocking end of Breaking Bad. The show gripped us for five heart-pounding seasons as we followed Walter White on his journey from timid high school chemistry teacher to globally feared crystal meth kingpin. Fans can attest that the amount of quotable moments from the legendary show is impossible to count. However, you’d be surprised to find that some of the most memorable lines from Breaking Bad just happen to be identical to some big-time electronic music songs. A Breaking Bad and EDM crossover probably wasn’t on your 2021 bingo card, but here goes. “Say My Name” – ODESZA feat. Zyra Who could forget when Walter White uttered this iconic quote and forced Declan to acknowledge him as Heisenberg? It was one ...
Kaskade is Getting His Own Fortnite “Party Royale” Concert
Even before concerts were forced online due to the ongoing pandemic, Epic Games‘ flagship title, Fortnite, was hosting full-scale events. After a groundbreaking performance from Marshmello in 2019, they would go on to invite Travis Scott, J Balvin, BTS, deadmau5, and more to the virtual stage. Now, celebrating his recent crossover with Epic Games’ recently-acquired title, Rocket League, Kaskade is primed for an in-game performance. Seemingly due to the nature of the games themselves, the event will not actually take place in the Rocket League application, but rather in the world of Fortnite and the Houseparty app. However, this does not mean there won’t be tons of rocket-powered car soccer elements included. Organizers promise a show that wil...

Femi Falana: EFCC can mandate bank MDs, executives to declare assets
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is charged with the responsibility of enforcing the provisions of all laws relating to economic and financial crimes, Africa’s leading human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN) has said. Consequently, according to the senior advocate, the anti-graft commission is empowered to cause investigations to be conducted into the properties of any person as stipulated under Section 7 (1) (b) of the EFCC Act, 2004.

Saweetie Says She’s ‘Single’ Amid Quavo Breakup Rumors
She also confirmed a Demi Lovato collab is on the way. After rumors that she and Quavo had broken up, Saweetie set the record straight. The rapper confirmed she was “single” via Twitter on Friday (March 19), saying she’s suffered “too much betrayal and hurt behind the scenes” and that being publicly showered with presents, from a Birkin to a Bentley, can’t heal the pain. But she assured her followers that she’s walked away from their relationship of more than two years “with a deep sense of peace and freedom.” “I’m single. I’ve endured too much betrayal and hurt behind the scenes for a false narrative to be circulating that degrades my character. Presents don’t band aid scars and the love isn&...

The Official Pokémon YouTube Uploaded a DJ Set from Pikachu With Remixes of the Game’s Music
Because why not, the official Pokémon YouTube channel uploaded a DJ set from Pikachu—and it’s electric. You’ll be shocked (sorry, can’t help these puns) to hear a few remixes of the video game’s iconic music. DJ Pikachu provides a jolt of old-school trap music right off the bat, dropping a remix of the 8-bit track that appeared on the title screen of the Pokémon Red and Blue Game Boy versions from 1996. He then cranks up the voltage with a drum & bass-hyperpop rework of the song while the camera frames him with the cheesy zoom-ins of an early 2000s DIY DJ hype reel. Situated in a miniature digitized DJ booth and flanked by an “amazing LED light show,” DJ Pikachu seems to be using our 90s Game Boy money to fund a promising DJ career. Word is...
