Bruce Springsteen’s Jeep Commercial Yanked from YouTube Following DWI
Well that didn’t last long. Three days ago on Super Bowl Sunday, Jeep unveiled their new ad “The Middle”, which had the honor of being the first-ever commercial to feature Bruce Springsteen. But after reports emerged this morning that The Boss had been charged with a DWI late last year, Jeep had to throw the whole campaign in reverse. Now, as InsideHook reports, the commercial has been yanked from YouTube and Jeep’s social media pages, and the company seems to be mulling junking the whole thing. On November 14th, Springsteen was arrested in Gateway National Recreation Area and charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, and consuming alcohol in a closed area. National Park Spokesperson Daphne Yun told the New York Times that, “Springsteen was cooperative throug...
Phoebe Bridgers Calls SNL Guitar-Smashing ‘a Bucket List Thing’ as Boomers Continue to Fume
We’re already halfway to the next episode of Saturday Night Live, and old fogies like David Crosby still can’t stop talking about Phoebe Bridgers smashing her guitar at the end of her set on the show last weekend. To (hopefully) quell the criticism once and for all, the songwriter went on CNN to explain why she performed the act that started the dumbest controversy of 2021 to date. “I’ve always wanted to do it, and when I mentioned it to the show, they built me this whole monitor that would look like it was exploding even if I wasn’t hitting it that hard,” Bridgers told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. “So yeah, [it was] just a bucket list thing.” Earlier this week, the feud heated up when Crosby ripped Bridgers (for no reason) for the incident and she responded in kind. Of course, one...

Tessica Brown AKA “Gorilla Glue Lady” Denies Jacking Up Hair For Clout, Says GoFundMe Money Is For Wigs
Source: Rachpoot/MEGA / Getty The “Gorilla Glue Lady” saga continues. Tessica Brown (40) denies claims and rumors that she purposely put Gorilla Glue in her hair to make money. The woman who will forever be referred to as “Gorilla Glue Lady” has become somewhat of a polarizing figure since she decided to get on social media and share her ordeal with the world. Brown has since raised over $18,000 in donations sent to her GoFundMe fundraiser, which initially only asked for $1,500. Her social media accounts have now been verified, and she has even gained international attention for her purposeful but still regrettable mishap. But, eventually, the concern and empathy she was once getting when her story went viral have now turned to side-eyes with people no longer buying what she is selli...

Source: Earl Gibson III / Getty In the entertainment world, it has been alleged by observers that artists and their colleagues have engaged in behavior not befitting of most working relationships. However, DJ Akademiks took it a step further and claims that male rappers are sexually linking up with male executives in what appears to be an open secret. A Twitter fan recorded a portion of Ak’s Twitch stream from this week and shared it to the social media network, highlighting the streamer addressing the recent abuse allegations against T.I. and Tiny. Ak essentially said that there is a seedy underworld in Hip-Hop circles that most fans will never be privy to. “I don’t really think that I believe all this stuff but I’m a just say this,” Ak begins. “In the land of Hollyweird, don’t ever think...

Halsey Goes Full Regina George With Rico Nasty, Chris Mintz-Plasse & More in ‘Anti-VDay’ Makeup Ad
Lounging in a bathtub covered in roses while munching on a perfectly-styled tray of doughnuts, Halsey is on an inadvertent four-way call with Blackwelll, Maraduena and Nasty, asking them to come on board for what sounds like a very over-the-top commercial. Asked why she’s going to all these lengths for an anti-Valentine’s Day ad if she’s not even single, Halsey does her best Regina George eye roll: “I’m single, like, in theory. It’s advertising; you know how it works.” When the trio of girls decide not to join Halsey for her massive commercial (she gives us the classic one-liner “boo, you w—es”), Halsey calls on Mintz-Plasse, asking the Superbad actor, “You’re comfortable with on-screen nudity, right?” ...
