Anthony Hamilton ft. Rick Ross “Real Love,” Stalley “Dilla Rap” & More | Daily Visuals 12.7.22
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Mello Music Group / Mello Music Group It’s been a minute since we’ve heard the soothing vocals of Anthony Hamilton but today the Crooner from North Carolina returns with vocals from one of the biggest Bawse’s from the South to help him get back in the groove of things. For his Rick Ross assisted visuals to “Real Love,” Anthony Hamilton takes on the role of a small town barber who gives young kids haircuts before hitting the road and making his way to a date where he attempts to woo a pretty young lady off her feet.

Summer Walker Responds To Being Dragged For Seeking “White Or Gay” Assistant
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Joseph Okpako / Getty Summer Walker appears to be big mad at Black people for being big mad at her anti-Blackness, and now it’s just unclear if this sweet Summer child has any kind of social awareness whatsoever. It all started when the Atlanta-based songstress posted a job opening on her Instagram account earlier offering $2,000 a month for a male assistant who is at least 25 years old, knows how to “build stuff” and—here’s the weird anti-Black kicker—is “preferably white or gay.” Apparently, Walker thought Black people were being unreasonable in wondering why the hell a Black woman would prefer to give her coins to a white person specifically. “And then to be talking about, ‘Why a white man and why a gay man?’” Walker said in response to the backlash, a...

Shirley Manson on Garbage’s Anthology, James Bond Theme, and Next Album
Listen via Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts | Amazon Podcasts | Stitcher | Pocket Casts | Radio Public | RSS Shirley Manson catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about Anthology, the new compilation from Garbage that traces their entire catalog through last year’s No Gods No Masters. Advertisement The frontwoman tells us how their record label talked them into the compilation and the struggle of it not being released in the US, how 2016’s Strange Little Birds went mostly overlooked, and “being erased from musical history” after the critical-slagging of their 1999 James Bond theme “The World Is Not Enough” (as well as the reappraisal that’s happened since). Manson then gets into the financial risk of ...
Margot Robbie Improvised a Scene in Babylon Just So She Could Kiss Brad Pitt
What would you do if you were cast as the lead in a big-budget film opposite Brad Pitt? If you’re Margot Robbie, you carefully orchestrate an improvised kiss scene with him, the actress revealed in a new interview with E! News. The smooch in question will be seen in Babylon, the upcoming period drama from Damien Chazelle. Set in the late 1920s, Babylon follows a group of actors and filmmakers as they adapt to the movie business’ transition from silent films to talkies. Robbie stars as Nellie, an aspiring actress who turns to veteran actor Jack Conrad (Pitt) to help her make her Hollywood dreams come true. At some point, Robbie revealed, the two share an impromptu kiss. “That wasn’t in the script,” Robbie told E! News. “But I thought, ‘When else am I gonna get the chance to kiss Brad Pitt? ...
Wonder Woman 3 May No Longer Be Happening: Report
Add this to the chaos that currently surrounds DC Comics properties: A Gal Gadot-starring Wonder Woman 3 may not be moving forward. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the previously greenlit film looks to be a casualty of the regime change at WarnerMedia-owned DC, which recently hired James Gunn and Peter Safran to guide the next phase of the beloved characters on screen. Wonder Woman 3 was set to be directed by Patty Jenkins, and she and writer Geoff Johns had turned in a treatment for the new film before being told by Gunn and Safran that it wouldn’t fit into future plans for the franchise. (THR notes that canceling the film could save Warner millions of dollars, as both Gadot and Jenkins were to receive pay bumps.) More awkwardly, just a day ago Gadot posted a message to social media ...
