Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin Cover Drake’s ‘Hotline Bling’ for ‘Hanukkah Sessions’: Watch
Foo Fighters‘ Dave Grohl and producer Greg Kurstin have shared a delightful cover of Drake‘s “Hotline Bling” for the second night of their eight-song “Hanukkah Sessions.” On Friday (Dec. 11), the duo shared a video of themselves recording the 2015 hit, with Grohl sitting at the drums and delivering the vocals, while Kurstin stands behind the keyboards. The clip also features the Foo Fighters frontman holding a menorah while hilariously recreating Drake’s signature moves from the “Hotline Bling” video. “You might be surprised to learn that this superstar is… Canadian,” Grohl and Kurstin captioned the video on YouTube. “He’s never hidden the fact that he was M.O.T. … so a generation of Jewish parents could tell their kids ‘if Drake took the tim...
Dolly Parton Proves She’s an Angel on Earth by Saving 9-Year-Old Actress’s Life
When Dolly Parton’s not funding COVID-19 vaccines to help end a global pandemic, she’s saving lives on set. During a recent interview with Inside Edition, 9-year-old Talia Hill recalled the time when her Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square co-star pulled her out of the way of an oncoming vehicle. “We were on set, and I was at the hot chocolate station, and they said ‘Go back to your beginning positions,’” the child actor explained. “So, there is a vehicle moving, and I was walking, and somebody grabbed me and pulled me back — and it was Dolly Parton.” Hill said the country icon told her “Well, I am an angel, you know,” which is a reference to her role in the film and also a general truth. “I was in shock, she hugged me and shook me and said, ‘I saved your life!̵...
Blue Ivy Carter Retroactively Receives First Grammy Nomination for ‘Brown Skin Girl’ Video
Blue Ivy Carter has received her first Grammy nomination…nearly three weeks after the initial list was revealed. As TMZ reports, Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s eldest daughter was retroactively nominated for her work on her mother’s “Brown Skin Girl” video (aside from appearing in the clip, Blue Ivy also lends vocals to the beginning and end of the track). Sounds like mommy and daddy made a phone call to the Recording Academy. If “Brown Skin Girl” wins Best Music Video, 9-year-old Blue Ivy (she turns nine on Jan. 12th and the award ceremony airs Jan. 31) will become the second youngest Grammy winner in history. Leah Peasall, who was eight years old when the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack won Album of the Year in 2002, currently holds the record. Revisit the “Brown Skin Girl” vid...
The 992 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Is the 2022 GT3’s Evil Track Twin
Money can’t buy you happiness, but enough of it can get you a 992-series Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (likely north of $200,000, if the current GT3 Cup is anything to go by). The upcoming race-ready twin to the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 is due to debut this March at the Porsche Carrera Cup North America race at Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Florida. While Porsche’s mum on many of the details of its new rear-engined racer, the German brand is sharing images of the vehicle as it undergoes development. The lack of information comes as no surprise, really, given Porsche’s remaining pretty tight-lipped about the Cup’s street-legal GT3 counterpart, as well. See all 18 photos Predictably, the new GT3 Cup ought to improve upon the performance of its predecessor. Testing of th...
Ares Design’s Wami Lalique Spyder Is a Blast From a Past That Never Happened
Why is Ares Design calling their new limited-run retro-roadster Wami Lalique Spyder? Maybe they thought Panther, the name of their Huracán-based DeTomaso Pantera tribute, was just too easy to pronounce. While the Wami Lalique Spyder’s name doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue—instead it gets caught up there, flops around a bit, then falls to the floor with a resounding thud—these computerized renderings show the car itself to be a work of mid-century-inspired art. For those unfamiliar, Ares Design is an Italian concern started by Dany Bahar, best known as the former chief of Lotus, where he implemented a six-model vaporware program then left under a cloud. Ares opened its doors in 2014 and began modifying high-end cars for the super-rich. Project Panther was their most extensive...
Grimes’ ‘Cyberpunk 2077′ Character Released an Album
“This story is dedicated to all those cyberpunks who fight against injustice and corruption every day of their lives,” the title of the mix reads. “Eight years in the making, Cyberpunk 2077 has been one of 2020’s most anticipated games,” the editor’s note adds. “But its arrival isn’t just a cause for celebration for gamers. Grimes, long a fan of the sci-fi strain known as cyberpunk, voices the character Lizzy Wizzy. And to mark the occasion, she assembled a companion mix in her signature off-the-wall style, mashing together electro, hip-hop, punk, indie pop, techno, and lots more. If you’ve ever wondered what a Kendrick Lamar verse sounds like on top of the Ramones’ ‘Blitzkrieg Bop’, here’s where those two worlds collide.” Listen to the fu...

Defying Pandemic Woes, Live Entertainment Giant OVG Showed New Growth in 2020
One company, however, has not only avoided layoffs completely but actually hired more than 50 executives in the last two months to assist with a growing portfolio of venues and development initiatives.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E’s Volume Knob Has a Clever Little Secret
If you’ve spent any time in the brand-new 2021 Mustang Mach-E electric SUV or at least perused images of its interior, you may have noticed a cool design detail on its touchscreen infotainment system: the volume knob that pokes through the panel. Well, truthfully, that knob isn’t poking through anything at all—it’s an illusion, Michael. That’s because rather than Ford going through the costly process of developing a touchscreen with a hole punched through it—and all the attendant fit and finish and function issues that could bring—the Blue Oval and its supplier opted for a less difficult but no less cool solution. You see, that big, glorious vertical touchscreen is a full, unbroken panel and the knob doesn’t work mechanically like a traditional volume control;...
