Megan Fox Confirms She and Machine Gun Kelly Drink Each Other’s Blood
No, this is not a deleted scene from Jennifer’s Body: Megan Fox has doubled down on the claim that she does, in fact, drink the blood of her fiancé Machine Gun Kelly. The actress confirmed her gory habit in a recent interview with Glamour, clarifying that it’s “for ritual purposes only.” “I guess to drink each other’s blood might mislead people or people are imagining us with goblets and we’re like Game of Thrones, drinking each other’s blood,” Fox said. “It’s just a few drops, but yes, we do consume each other’s blood on occasion for ritual purposes only.” Fox, a noted devotee to spiritual affairs, first raised speculations of blood-drinking back in January when MGK popped the question: “Just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I s...

The Staircase Takes a Winding Path Through the Infamous Michael Peterson Case: Review
The Pitch: It’s one of the most infamous murder cases in the 21st century: On December 9th, 2001, Kathleen Peterson (Toni Collette) was found dead at the foot of the staircase in her Durham, North Carolina home, having bled out from a suspiciously large number of head wounds. The only one home was her husband, novelist and mayoral candidate Michael Peterson (Colin Firth), who called 911 and explained through tears that she’d fallen down the stairs. But the event’s strain on the Peterson family compounds as Kathleen’s death opens up fissures between the blended family, to say nothing of the suspicion Michael faces as his wife’s possible murderer. As the trial heats up, and more secrets come out about Michael’s hidden life, the family — and the French documentary crew filming him and th...
Flume Drops Two Mind-Bending Singles From Forthcoming Third Album, “Palaces”: Listen
The rollout of Flume‘s Palaces continues to unravel with kaleidoscopic quality. Two new singles from Flume’s first full-length project since 2019’s Hi This Is Flume mixtape have hit streaming services, including the album’s titular track featuring Damon Albarn. A lingering piano solo coupled with crescendoing soundscapes unfurls to introduce a melancholic vocal from Albarn, who appears roughly midway through “Palaces.” The Gorillaz frontman’s words resonate with a psychedelic, choral-like effect as Flume blasts into a big instrumental finish with lively drums and bursting synth chords. Flume doesn’t skimp on bringing equally vibrant synth work to “ESCAPE,” a collaboration alongside ascendant bass music produc...

22 Photos That Encapsulate the Mind-Blowing Live Production of Ultra 2022
There aren’t many festivals—if any—who do it quite like Ultra. The resplendent Ultra Music Festival is embedded in the mythos of Miami. And even though its annual hubbub has often been bemoaned by the city’s populace, one thing is certain: the festival is vital to Miami’s culture. Considering Ultra’s reputation as a bellwether for the festival landscape and its impact on Miami’s economy, the event’s organizers annually ensnare—and then enrapture—the international dance music hive mind. But despite the event’s staggering lineups, its production is a crucial part of why it is perennially considered one of the nation’s elite music festivals. Just ask Hardwell, who torpedoed a four-year hiatus to return to Ultra’s historic Mainstage at...

Michael Stipe Reveals the Lyric Switch on R.E.M.’s ‘Losing My Religion’ That Changed Everything

It all started when Rubin asked Stipe if he knew the song was special as he was writing it, which the R.E.M. artist quickly denied. “We released it as a first single thinking it was going to set up the next song,” he said. “It’s such a weird song, we had no idea it was going to resonate the way that it did.” Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news On memories of making the track, Stipe delved into changing the lyrics in the chorus. “I changed one lyric,” he recalled. “‘That’s me in the...
