Glickenhaus Just Teased a Hydrogen-Powered Supercar With Insane Range
Alternative fuels and power sources for automobiles are front of mind for automakers these days. Porsche is looking extensively into e-fuels, many automakers offer at least one electrified car or SUV, and even a few have offer hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. The use of hydrogen as a future fuel is, for now, quite limited, with only a few such vehicles, such as the Toyota Mirai and the Hyundai Nexo, existing in today’s marketplace. Refueling infrastructure for hydrogen vehicles also is sorely lacking outside of California. But, outside-the-box thinkers such as Jim Glickenhaus, the man behind Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (SCG), see some hope. See all 11 photos Glickenhaus recently posted an image of a not-quite-Lamborghini Countach, not-quite-DeTomaso Pantera, not-quite-BMW...
Mariah Carey Reveals How COVID-19 Pandemic Has ‘Really Helped’ Her Voice
As for how she got so in the AF zone, Mariah said her pal Trey Lorenz liked to hang out and bust out their favorite impersonations, but she considers it more of an homage than an imitation. Anyway, that was not the most important voice-related tidbit that came up in the 90-plus minute first part of the chat. Carey also revealed that despite the difficulty of being locked down for much of the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has somehow been good for her already peerless voice. “Honestly, for me this whole year with COVID and everything, not having to sing for my supper and travel around and not get the right amount of sleep or just be put on this thing where there’s a certain amount of stress, for me, that takes away a lot of stuff,” said Carey in the laid-back, wide-rang...

Nick Carter & Wife Lauren Expecting Baby No. 3: ‘Sometimes Life Blesses You With Little Surprises’
Kitt continued, “I thought I had a tumor because there was just no way that I could be pregnant, from just my medical history and the things that I did to ensure that I just had my two children.” Kitt revealed in 2015 during a pre-taped video package for Dancing With the Stars (when Carter was competing) that she had suffered a miscarriage.

Peep The Trailer To Shaka King’s ‘Judas And The Black Messiah’
Source: Warner Bros. / Warner Bros. Outside of a few references in rap songs from artists who are familiar with Black history, the legend of Fred Hampton and the Black Panther Party (not the Wakandan one) is something that goes unrecognized by too many heads not only in the culture, but in society in general. That might could change real soon with the release of Shaka King’s Judas And The Black Messiah. Starring Daniel Kaluuya as the Back Panther Party’s chairman and inspirational leader, Fred Hampton, Judas And The Black Messiah tells the story of the positive change that Hampton was attempting to make in the Black community and the fear it struck in the hearts of authorities who knew a unified coalition of Black, Brown, and White people could be problematic to their oppressive ways. Look...

Lamar Odom To Step Into The Boxing Ring This Summer
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Lamar Odom is looking to make a comeback but not in the NBA, just in relevancy in general. According to TMZ the former NBA champ turned Kardashian Kursed crackhead has just inked a deal with Celebrity Boxing and will make his in-ring boxing debut at the Showboat Casino this June 12th in Atlantic City. Whyyyyy?? Does he need the money? Does he need the attention? Does he need to redeem the culture after Nate Robinson took the massive “L” to Jake Paul? We have no clue. While the fight is set to go down this coming summer, for now Lamar doesn’t have an opponent to prepare for, but CB organizer, Damon Feldman says he’s working on a “big-name celeb” to get in the ring with the NBA Champion.

Sen. Tim Scott Puts On Tap Shoes, Opposes Donald Trump Impeachment
Source: SAUL LOEB / Getty As the debate rages on in the U.S. House of Representatives in connection to a possible second impeachment of Donald Trump, some are pushing back. Sen. Tim Scott, an avowed supporter of Trump and the lone Black GOP senator, stands in opposition with the Democratic Party and those in his party who wish to see the former business mogul removed and barred from running for elected office in the future. In a pair of tweets, the South Carolina senator showed his unyielding fealty to President Trump, who promises he’ll finally yield to the will of the voters and will peacefully transfer power over to President-elect Joe Biden. However, Scott has echoed a sentiment that is spreading among his GOP and conservative colleagues that seeking a second impeachment will further f...

Governors Ball Sets 2021 Festival Dates
While optimism grows surrounding the COVID vaccine, touring and festivals have yet to resume…and for the most part, have yet to be announced. New York City’s Governors Ball is bucking that trend. In a tweet on Wednesday morning, the fest announced the dates for its 2021 edition.

The lineup hasn’t been revealed, but a tweet said that the new lineup is “coming soon” and that it will be different from the 2020 edition that was going to feature Tame Impala, Missy Elliott, Vampire Weekend, Stevie Nicks, Solange, Miley Cyrus among many more. “Rest assured, we are working closely with the city and state authorities to ensure...
