Grand Jury Drops Rape Case Against Mystikal
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty After years and years of self-inflicted harm and plain ol’ bad luck, Mystikal has gotten a break in the court of law pertaining to rape allegations that he’s been battling since 2017. According to TMZ the grand jury overlooking the rape charge that the “Danger” rapper has been fighting the past few years decided the case should be dismissed after feeling there wasn’t enough evidence for the case to move forward. Mystikal’s attorney, Joel Peace, tells TMZ … the charges went away because “new scientific evidence emerged caugin the Grand Jury to take a second look at the rape allegations made against [him].” Even though prosecutors offered the former No Limit soldier a plea deal before the case even went to trial, Mystikal rejected the offer and maintained h...
LA Party Society Sued by City for Allegedly Violating COVID-19 Restrictions
Although the majority of clubs in Los Angeles have remained closed due to COVID-19 ordinances imposed by the city, LA Party Society has consistently flouted restrictions since March, according to City Attorney Mike Feuer. In turn, the city has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the underground nightclub. The Los Angeles Times reports that city has been mounting evidence against LA Party Society for months, which includes multiple shootings and assaults, operating without a license, and flooding an indoor space to capacity all while in the midst of a global pandemic. The suit was filed against the organization’s manager, Yves Oscar Jr., as well as two limited liability companies owned by David Taban. Taban himself, however, is not listed i...
Mariah Carey Can’t Get Enough of This Toddler Matching Her Whistle Tone in ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’
While “All I Want For Christmas Is You” may have been released a full 23 years before the pint-sized singer was even born, it’s currently sitting at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for its second Christmas season in a row. The song marks four non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the chart dated Dec. 19 after first summiting the singles chart in Dec. 2019. The track’s record-breaking ascent last Christmas after 25 years was made even more historic as it earned the songstress the designation as the first, and so far only, act to have a No. 1 single across four separate decades — the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s. Elsewhere, classic holiday songs abound on the Hot 100 hits this week, with Brenda Lee‘s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” Bobby Hel...

Bob Dylan to Release Outtakes Set 1970, Includes Nine Songs With George Harrison
A few weeks ago, a European record store got its hands on 1970, a limited-edition Bob Dylan compilation featuring outtakes and rarities, plus collaborations with George Harrison. It quickly sold out and Dylan fans were left in the dark on how they could score the coveted part of the Bob Dylan – 50th Anniversary Collection, which featured rare sessions released due to what Columbia Records/Legacy called the “copyright extension series (which began in 2012).” That previously limited-edition set will be widely released on Feb. 26, 2021. The three-disc collection of previously unavailable studio performances includes the complete May 1, 1970 session of nine songs featuring Harrison. The pair perform together on Dylan originals (“One Too Many Mornings,” “Gates of Eden,” “Mama, You Bee...
This Ferrari 458 Speciale Can Stop .44 Magnum Rounds—Can’t You Tell?
Outwardly, nothing about this Ferrari 458 Speciale is amiss. It is the incredibly desirable, high-performance, and lightweight predecessor to the 488 Pista and whatever insane(r) performance variant Maranello has cooking up for today’s F8 Tributo. However, if you were to, say, try shooting at this specific 458 Speciale with the intent of harming its occupants (and you’re not packing, say, a rocket launcher), you might be surprised when the mid-engine supercar shrugs off the attack. That’s because the red Ferrari pictured here is armored. See all 8 photos Why on earth would anyone armor a lightweight sports car? Doesn’t that kind of defeat the whole point of a lightweight sports car? Aren’t there plenty of Chevy Suburbans and other huge SUVs laying around for p...

Paul McCartney’s Trilogy-Completing Album ‘McCartney III’ Is Here: Stream It Now
It’s stripped back and was self-produced in isolation at Rockdown in Sussex earlier this year, and continues the tradition of McCartney, released 50 years ago, and McCartney II, which emerged from the ashes of Wings in 1980. “Each day I’d start recording with the instrument I wrote the song on and then gradually layer it all up, it was a lot of fun,” McCartney recounts. “It was about making music for yourself rather than making music that has to do a job. So, I just did stuff I fancied doing. I had no idea this would end up as an album.” The release of McCartney III was delayed by a week due to “unforeseeable production delays”. But it’s now available in full, and in multiple formats. Stream it below. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined wh...
Paul McCartney Talks New Album, Spotify and Kanye West
Good things, they say. So, when McCartney and his team announced some months ago that the LP would was delayed by a week due to “unforeseeable production delays,” well, no biggie. McCartney zoomed in to The Tonight Show on Thursday night (Dec. 17) for a chat with Jimmy Fallon about life during lockdown, making music and much more. The new album was self-produced in isolation, a process that was as organic as the neighboring farms in east Sussex. “I just was in lockdown, I had some time on my hands and so I started finishing up bits of songs and stuff, thinking this is just for my own fun,” he recounted. “Suddenly I had about 11 of them. It was ‘oh, this should probably be an album.’” Despite having no formal training, McCartney played every instrument on the LP, which he demoed...

Wuhan’s coronavirus survivors share lessons one year on
In late 2019, Wuhan businesswoman Duan Ling and her surgeon husband Fang Yushun began to hear snippets in hospital chat groups about a disease emerging in the city’s respiratory wards. Duan didn’t pay much attention at first. Fang had that year returned from a stint studying in the United States, and the pair, both 36-years-old, were planning a family, starting a costly round of fertility treatments. “But as more and more news came, we began to realise this was something different from previous infectious diseases,” said Duan. In just over a month, Fang would become one of the first people in the world to contract what came to be known as COVID-19, which has since infected over 74 million worldwide and killed more than 1.5 million. During the early days of the outbreak, the city’s hospital...
