Megadeth kicked off the second leg of their “Metal Tour of the Year” with co-headliners Lamb of God over the weekend, and on the second night of the outing (April 10th) in Tucson, Arizona, frontman Dave Mustaine shared some inside information from The White House. Actually, he confessed that he once purposely pissed on a bathroom floor in the president’s residence. Mustaine visited The White House back in 1992 as part of the “Rock the Vote” campaign. It was then that he left his mark on The White House. As seen in the footage from Sunday night’s concert below (and transcribed by Blabbermouth), Mustaine began, “I want you guys to know that I’ve lived through a lot of different eras in the United States and seen different things, and one thing that makes me the most proud of everything here ...

David Mamet Claims Teachers Are “Inclined” to “Pedophilia”
To quote David Mamet’s Romance, “Uh, what the fuck?” The film director and Pulitzer-prize winning playwright claimed in a conversation with Fox News’ Life, Liberty & Levin that teachers are “inclined” towards “pedophilia.” Mamet, whose plays include Glengarry Glen Ross and American Buffalo, and who was nominated for Academy Awards for his screenplays for The Verdict and Wag the Dog, was on the program to promote his new book Recessional: The Death of Free Speech and the Cost of a Free Lunch. “We have to take back control,” he said. “If there’s no community control of the schools, what we have is kids being not only indoctrinated but groomed in a very real sense by people who are — whether they know it or not — sexual predators. Are they abus...

Britney Spears Announces Pregnancy
Britney Spears has announced that she is pregnant with her third child, sharing the news today (April 11) on Instagram. It will be Spears’ first child with her partner, the actor Sam Asghari, and her first child since the dissolution of her conservatorship. Spears, who is 40 years old, has two sons—16-year-old Sean Preston and 15-year-old Jayden James—with her ex-husband Kevin Federline. Spears’ life and finances were controlled by a court-mandated conservatorship from 2008 until its termination in November 2021. For much of its existence, the conservatorship was overseen by Spears’ father James “Jamie” Spears. During a bombshell hearing last June, Britney Spears alleged that she was not allowed to get married, have children, or have an IUD removed due to the conservatorship. Spears and As...

Please keep in mind that this info doesn’t come directly from Ye’s usual communication channel of choice, Instagram, but via unnamed “sources.” Related Stories According to Page Six, of course, someone allegedly on the Kanye Squad says, “West’s team has been looking at treatment facilities for him,” while added, “he wants to enter a behavioral treatment center to be a better human and a better dad.” West, who recently dropped out of headlining Coachella, has spoken candidly about his bipolar disorder diagnosis before as well as the difficulty he’s had i...
Chris Wallace Doesn’t Think Young Civil Rights Era White People Were Racist, Nikole Hannah-Jones Sets Him Straight
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: OLIVIER DOULIERY / Getty Booooy, CNN+ host Chris Wallace should’ve just stayed his a** at Fox News because he just doesn’t fit the brand when it comes to non-conservative platforms where “not all white people” arguments just don’t fly. Recently, Wallace sat down with historian and creator of The 1619 Project Nikole Hannah-Jones and really tried to whitesplain to this scholar of African American studies that during and even before the civil rights era, it was only really old white people who were racist. Now, obviously, this isn’t even a debate worth having. We’ve seen the iconic photos of school-aged white people verbally and physically attacking Black students like Ruby Bridges who integrated into their schools. The white people pouring liquid over the h...
