Lincoln Zephyr Reflection Concept First Look: One Beautiful Sedan
There’s no denying that Lincoln is in a better place than it’s been in years. The Navigator and Aviator have taken the American luxury brand in a bold, distinctive direction. There’s no reason the Lincoln Continental couldn’t have distilled this down into a similar experience, but as you’re probably aware, the Continental never managed to get the formula exactly right. But lest you think that Lincoln simply didn’t have it in itself to craft that sort of swaggering, desirable sedan that could stand out in a way the Continental couldn’t, the Lincoln Zephyr Reflection “preview car” is here to set the record straight in Shanghai. See all 50 photos If you think “preview car” sounds like PR doublespeak for a concept car that ̷...

Vin Diesel to Star in Live-Action Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots Movie
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-19T18:43:19+00:00“>April 19, 2021 | 2:43pm ET Three bruising stars will share the silver screen for the first time, as Vin Diesel joins a cast that already includes [checks notes] Red Rocker and Blue Bomber. As Deadline reports, Diesel will be co-producing a live-action Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots movie based on the once-popular tabletop boxing game. Launched in 1966, Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots had a simple premise which could be summed up as ‘robot smash.’ Players helmed either Red Rocker or Blue Rocker and mashed buttons until either one robot’s head popped off or an angry sibling hurled the board across the room. The controls were wonky, the end of matches unsat...

Morrissey’s Manager Slams ‘The Simpsons’ For ‘Harshly Hateful’ Parody of the Singer
Tim Long, who wrote the episode, told Stereogum ahead of Sunday that Quilloughby is “definitely Morrissey-esque, with maybe a small dash of Robert Smith from The Cure, Ian Curtis from Joy Division, and a bunch of other people.” But Katsis wasn’t quite thrilled to have his client be the character’s inspiration. “Poking fun at subjects is one thing. Other shows like SNL still do a great job at finding ways to inspire great satire,” he wrote in a lengthy critique on Facebook. “But when a show stoops so low to use harshly hateful tactics like showing the Morrissey character with his belly hanging out of his shirt (when he has never looked like that at any point in his career) makes you wonder who the real hurtful, racist group is here.&n...

Chris Evans Has the Best Response to Lizzo’s Drunk DM
Lizzo was feeling bold as hell to shoot her shot by sliding into Chris Evans’ DMs while drunk, and Captain America is here to save her from being left on read. On Saturday (April 17), Lizzo advised her TikTok followers “don’t drink and DM, kids” after revealing she did exactly that with Evans on Instagram, when she sent a series of emojis — wind, female athlete and a basketball — indicating she had apparently tried “shooting her shot” at exactly 5:22 p.m. She explained the situation by mouthing the voiceover audio, “The reason I’m upset about this one is because I know I’m not going to be able to marry him. And honestly, it hurts me to the core, because da–, papa, he a rare breed! No comparing!” At the ...
Whoopi Goldberg Lands First Cover of “Black Cannabis Magazine,” Reveals She Is Launching Another Pot Company
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Getty Images / Getty Auntie Whoopi Goldberg is taking another pull at the pot game. For those who don’t know, before the white celebs like Jim Belushi and Seth Rogen “made it cool” to sell legalized pot, The View host and slayer of Meghan McCain, Whoopi Goldberg, has been long-time cannabis and entrepreneur when it comes to the magical plant. So it made perfect sense that Black Cannabis, a new magazine that focuses primarily on the people who honestly revolutionized the pot game at the expense of being unfairly jailed for it, tapped Goldberg to cover the first issue. Speaking about the cover, Goldberg added: “It’s an honor to grace the very first cover of Black Cannabis Magazine… As a long-time cannabis advocate and entrepreneur, I’m happy to support the ...
