TED NUGENT Praises ‘Dirtbag’ BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN For Surrounding Himself With ‘Virtuoso’ Musicians
Outspoken rocker Ted Nugent has praised “dirtbag” Bruce Springsteen for always hiring the best musicians to help him deliver his songs live in concert. Springsteen can best be described as Nugent‘s political polar opposite, having been a vocal opponent to former U.S. president Donald Trump on many occasions. In August 2020, Bruce went as far as to allow the use of his song “The Rising” in a video that aired during night one of the Democratic National Convention. Ted, who is widely considered to be one of the most politically conservative musicians in rock, weighed in on The Boss during an appearance on the January 18 episode of “That Jamieson Show”. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “You couldn’t get further apart ideologica...
CHRIS DAUGHTRY’s 25-Year-Old Stepdaughter Died By Suicide
Chris Daughtry‘s family has confirmed that his stepdaughter, Hannah Price, died by suicide while under the influence of narcotics.

The family said that Price had struggled with mental illness “from a young age,” and “was in and out of therapy and treatment centers” over the years. “As Hannah got older, she struggled to find her footing and began using drugs and ofte...
Of Course Jason Mantzoukas Voices Tommy Lee’s Penis in Hulu’s Pam & Tommy
In perhaps one of the most impeccable voice casting moves in recent memory, Jason Mantzoukas will be providing the voice of a penis. More specifically, he’ll be voicing the genitalia of Tommy Lee in Pam & Tommy, Hulu’s forthcoming limited series about the whirlwind romantic relationship between the Mötley Crüe drummer and his ex-wife, Pamela Anderson. A talking penis might be a first for Hulu, but considering Mantzoukas’ unforgettable appearances in shows like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place, and Parks and Recreation — and we mean this with the utmost respect — he’ll do a really great job voicing a penis. Apparently, the second episode of Pam & Tommy includes a scene during which Lee consults his schlong for advice about love, because that approach has never failed anybody ...
Michael Mann Announces Heat 2, a New Novel That’s Both Prequel and Sequel
For the first time in over 25 years, you can “spot the heat around the corner.” Michael Mann has announced Heat 2, his first novel co-written with Edgar-winner Meg Gardiner that will serve as both a prequel and a sequel to the 1995 film. Heat 2 arrives August 9th from William Morrow and Michael Mann Books, and pre-orders are now ongoing. Heat followed the pursuit of career criminal Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) by LAPD cop Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino), while paying special attention to the way they relate to each other more than most of the people around them. The famed dinner scene raised the emotional stakes of the final shootout, while also marking the first time that De Niro and Pacino had appeared together on screen. “It’s been my intention for a long time ...
Robert Pattinson to Star in Bong Joon Ho’s Next Movie

Big Thief Unveil New Single “Simulation Swarm”: Stream
Big Thief have a 20-song album on the way, so naturally, they’ve been releasing a lot of singles. Next up on the list is “Simulation Swarm,” the latest look at Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You, due out in February. Listen to the song below. Big Thief have played “Simulation Swarm” live on several occasions, at times flooding the song with distortion, but its official release as part of Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You is an almost acoustic number. Meandering bass twirls over a quick, intricate guitar line, as singer Adrianne Lenker delivers an endless, cyclical vocal. “You believe, I believe too/ That you are the river of light/ Who I love that I cling to/ In the belly of the empty night,” Lenker sings, her words spilling over each other. While its swirling riff begi...

Is Pete Davidson Running Scared After Kanye’s Threatening ‘Eazy’ Diss, Or Nah?
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Supplied by WENN.com / WENN Last week, we reported that Kanye West and The Game collaborated on their new track, “Eazy,” which included a not-so-subtle diss directed towards comedian and Kim Kardashian’s new boo, Pete Davidson. “God saved me from that crash/ just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a**,” Yeezus rapped. So now there’s the question of how serious Ye is about Pete catching the bleached blonde fade and how Davidson has responded to the threatening line in Kanye’s song. Well, an inside source has told Page Six that Davidson isn’t running scared from no Kanye and that he actually “thinks it’s totally hilarious.” “Not just that—he thinks the whole [tabloid drama with him, West and Kardashian] is hilarious. He loves it,” the source continued. Page...
HHW Gaming Review: ‘Rainbow Six Extraction’ Is An Enjoybale Co-Op Experience With Some Grind Issues
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ubisoft / Rainbow Six Extraction Ubisoft hopes the idea of adding an alien threat in Rainbow Six Extraction with some tweaks will breathe new energy into its famed Rainbow Six video game franchise, and for the most part, it does. Step into our review. Rainbow Six Extraction, formally known as Rainbow Six Quarantine when it was announced at E3 2019, didn’t immediately blow gamers away. Hell, many of us thought this was just some DLC coming to Rainbow Six Siege until we all learned Ubisoft revealed it would be a standalone title. Initially, the game saw the human race dealing with a virus, but due to VERY OBVIOUS reasons, the game’s developers changed the name and the game’s theme.
