The 8 Biggest Pop Groups Ever Formed on Reality TV
In celebration of the news, we’ve compiled the best and brightest bands (from One Direction to Twice) that have formed on reality TV shows. One Direction Besides their impressive career and good looks, what makes One Direction beautiful is perhaps the fact that Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik all serendipitously auditioned for X Factor (U.K.) as solo singers in 2010. Thankfully, Simon Cowell saw their potential as a boy group, and 1D went on to release five hit albums (with 29 songs on the Billboard Hot 100) and amass millions of fans all over the globe. Of their projects, Up All Night, Midnight Memories, Take Me Home and FOUR topped the Billboard 200 albums chart, and Made in the A.M. peaked at No. 2. After Zayn lef...

Big Draco is reportedly pushing video game consoles, well, at least taking another stab at it. Game Informer is reporting that Soulja Boy is about to start cranking out a new console after selling janky consoles (overpriced emulators) back in 2019 that landed him in hot water, forcing him to “boss up” due to him ripping off the design for PlayStation’s now-defunct handheld, the PS Vita, and Xbox One S console and removing them from his Souljawatch website. Twitter handle @Souljagame, which Soulja Boy follows, tweeted on Saturday (Feb.13), “Building a new console from scratch, all new design. All new games. All new deals. Let’s make history,” and announced it was coming soon. Bu...

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian Officially File for Divorce
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have officially filed for divorce, ending their marriage of seven years. TMZ reports that Kardashian recently filed the requisite documents through her lawyer Laura Wasser. Kardashian is asking for joint legal and physical custody of the couple’s four children, which West has apparently agreed to. Additionally, neither Kardashian nor West is said to be contesting their prenup. Settlement negotiations are reportedly “amicable” at this time. West first hinted at a riff in the couple’s marriage over the summer when he bizarrely tweeted about divorcing Kardashian in the wake of a meeting she had with Meek Mill. “I been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Warldolf [sic] for ‘prison reform,’” he tweeted, seeming to refer to a criminal justice ...

Art d’Ecco Unveils New Single “Head Rush”: Stream
Neo-glam rocker Art d’Ecco is gearing up to drop his sophomore album, In Standard Definition, on April 23rd via Paper Bag. Today, he’s shared a new single called “Head Rush” and a glitzy music video to give fans a taste of what to expect, both of which can be streamed below. In a press release, Art d’Ecco said the song is about the collective head rush of our youth, a memory he hopes listeners will experience secondhand. “Nostalgia is a powerful drug; it distorts and reframes the past, often reconciling our memories into one place for easy access and to better suit our current disposition or state of mind,” he explained. “I wanted all the hallmarks of a classic rock song — the kind of music that used to blast from the kitchen radio at the summer jobs I’d worked at as a teen. Guitar solo? C...
Edgar Wright to Direct Adaptation of Stephen King’s The Running Man
The clock has started ticking on a new adaptation of The Running Man, the 1982 novel from Stephen King via his pseudonym Richard Bachman. Deadline reports that Edgar Wright (Baby Driver) will direct. King’s tale unfolds in the unimaginably distant future of 2025. America has indulged its most dystopian corporate impulses and now relies on the Games Network to placate the restless populace. Ben Richards of Co-Op City is more hard-up than most, and in the hopes of securing his wife and daughter’s future, he makes a desperate bargain: He agrees to appear on The Running Man, Games Network’s most beloved yet dangerous program. The book got swept up in late-eighties Ahnold-mania, and something that vaguely resembled the original story exploded into theaters in 1987. Schwarzenegger’s well-oi...
The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Is a Nissan Rogue in Disguise, Here’s What’s Different
There are some subtle giveaways—a few shared cutlines on the two compact SUVs’ exteriors being the biggest clue—but on the whole these two look pretty unique. So, what exactly do they share, and where do these two SUVs differ? Platform: Mitsubishi Outlander or Nissan Rogue? Let’s start with the bones. A Mitsubishi spokesperson confirmed to us that both the Rogue and Outlander share a platform that was developed by members of the Renault–Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance. A lot of the technical bits like the underbody, suspension pickup points, and cut lines for body panels are shared between the two cars. The two SUVs even have an identical 106.5-inch long wheelbase. However, despite being mechanically similar, Mitsubishi told us the tuning for the new Outlander is specific to t...

(In this case, the regular QX50 compact luxury crossover.) It’s a way of telling the world you want an SUV but you’re also, you know, hip. You’re with it. You appreciate style over practicality. Oh, and that you enjoy paying more for the experience. Infiniti has released pricing for the QX55, its BMW X4 and Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe competitors, and go figure, it’s pricier than the QX50. 2021 Infiniti QX55 Trim Levels Starting at $47,525, the QX55 is nearly ten grand more expensive than the cheapest QX50 ($38,975).
