2022 Subaru BRZ Design Deep Dive: Refreshing or Revolting?
The low-slung Subaru BRZ, with its flat-four engine and enthusiast-pleasing rear-drive layout, is an affordably priced and extremely satisfying sports coupe. And it doesn’t seem that Subaru has changed the formula significantly: The redesigned 2022 Subaru BRZ is shaping up to be another car built for those who love to drive—and we can’t stress enough how nice it is to see automakers re-investing in cars like this (and its sister model, the Toyota 86). But with a new generation comes new styling, and it’s time to see if the 2022 BRZ’s new sheetmetal is a good match for its driver-focused mission. Still clearly recognizable as a BRZ, the 2022’s design is bold and more than just a freshened-up version of the previous car’s look. Starting up front, the old BRZ’s slimmer, more elongated headlig...
2022 Honda Civic Type R: What We Know About the Hot Hatch
There’s no denying the current Honda Civic Type R is a tough act to follow. Having won multiple comparison tests and an astonishing 4th–place finish in our 2018 Best Driver’s Car competition, the Type R is a front-drive performance miracle that audaciously takes all comers—no matter the opponents’ specs or price point. So how could the hot hatchback possibly get any better? With the reveal of the 2022 Honda Civic Prototype, we have reason to believe Honda will pull off another performance magic trick with the 11th-gen-Civic-based Type R. Here’s what we know so far about the upcoming 2022 Honda Civic Type R. 2022 Honda Civic Type R: A New Platform <!– –> The 11th-generation Honda Civic rides on a new platform evolved from the outgoing Civic’s bones.

Lil Yachty Shares New Version of Saved By the Bell Theme Song
The internet has been pretty divided on the Saved By the Bell reboot since Peacock announced it, and the new take on the theme song by Lil Yachty isn’t exactly soothing the nerves of those hoping for a smooth continuation of the original. On one hand, Lil Boat fans could probably care less about the context of the show and the original theme song. On the other, Saved By the Bell fans have likely only ever heard of Lil Yachty if their kids introduced it to them as a way to embarrass their aging parents. Whichever side you fall on, it’s hard to imagine the crossover fan base is worth the effort it took for NBC to attempt to get people to care about any of Peacock’s original programming. Hell, they need all the help they can get after having to explain to people that the eig...
50 Cent Claims He Was Offered $1 Million To Formally Back Trump
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz The people didn’t find 50 Cent’s attempts at humor funny when it came to politics. He is now clearing up his earlier statement and much more. As spotted on HipHopDX the Queens Native was a recent guest on The Breakfast Club. The crew got the “I Get Money” rapper to discuss a variety of topics but a particular tweet was the highlight of the interview. Back in October he posted a screenshot of Joe Biden’s proposed tax program and urged his followers to vote for Trump. “WHAT THE F*CK! (VOTE ForTRUMP) IM OUT, F*CK NEW YORK The KNICKS never win anyway. I don’t care Trump doesn’t like black people 62% are you out of ya f***ing mind.” he wrote. WHAT THE F*CK! (VOTE ForTRUMP) IM OUT, F*CK NEW YORK The KNICKS never wi...
Avicii’s Biography Officially Slated for 2021 Release: Read the Synopsis
The speculation surrounding the release of Avicii’s biography can now be put to bed. Last year, it was announced that Avicii would be receiving an official biography release by Swedish writer Måns Mosesson. At the time, the book was purported to be released in 2020 after Albert Bonniers Förlag received authorization from Avicii Music AB, the company responsible for the late DJ’s assets and brand following his death. The speculation can now be put to bed, however, after the title was added to Germany’s Apple Books with an official release date of November 2, 2021. Tim Bergling – The Official Biography is described by the publisher as “the sound of a generation – the book of a generation.” It will span over 300 pages and cel...
Naya Rivera’s Drowning Sparks Wrongful Death Lawsuit
Naya Rivera’s July 8 death in Lake Piru has sparked a wrongful death lawsuit against Ventura County, Calif., on behalf of her young son, who was on the water with her that day. The suit was filed Tuesday in Ventura County Court on behalf of the 4-year-old by his father Ryan Dorsey, Rivera’s estate and the late actress’ business manager. They’re suing not only the county, but also United Water Conservation District and Parks and Recreation Management for allegedly failing to warn visitors of the dangers of the lake and outfit the boat with the requisite safety equipment. {“nid”:”9448042″,”type”:”post”,”title”:”Autopsy Report Indicates Naya Rivera Called for Help as She Drowned”,”relative_pa...
Randy Rainbow Mocks Donald Trump’s Refusal to Concede in New Parody
It’s been almost two weeks since Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, but the President continues to deny the results of the election, refusing to concede and begin the transition of power. Randy Rainbow couldn’t help but poke fun at the President’s behavior, sharing a new parody on Wednesday (Nov. 18) to the tune of “(Not) Getting Married Today” from the musical Company. {“nid”:”9486234″,”type”:”post”,”title”:”Lil Pump Unveils His Pro-Trump Anthem 'Lil Pimp Big MAGA Steppin'”,”relative_path”:”\/articles\/columns\/hip-hop\/9486234\/lil-pump-lil-pimp-big-maga-steppin\/”,”media”:{“width”:”1548″...
Emma Corrin Reveals Harry Styles Once Babysat Her Dog (& Why He Never Did Again)
Harry Styles has an affinity for “Sweet Creatures.” While visiting The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday (Nov. 18), The Crown star Emma Corrin revealed the hilarious time the former One Direction singer babysat her dog.

King Von’s Family Thanks Fans After Rapper’s Death: ‘You’re Keeping His Legacy Alive’
King Von’s family released an official statement Wednesday (Nov. 18), nearly two weeks after the Chicago-bred drill rapper was fatally shot at an Atlanta nightclub. V.Roy of 100K Management, which had Von on its roster, issued the statement on behalf of the late rapper’s family and team on social media along with a picture of him and his young children. “Thank you to everyone who has showed their outpouring of love for King Von.

Tool to Auction a Signed Kitchen Sink to Raise Money for Ronnie James Dio Cancer Fund
Charitable fundraisers these days generally try to bring in money for their causes by listing just about anything they think will sell for a decent amount. In the music world, that means signed instruments, exclusive records, collectible memorabilia, and pretty much everything but the kitchen sink. Likewise, you generally won’t see anything autographed by Tool in there. Maynard James Keenan and crew aren’t prone to lending their signatures to raise money. But the upcoming auction in support of the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund apparently isn’t your typical fundraiser. In addition to the usual lot (headlined by an exclusive Holy Diver-painted Les Paul and collection of old Beatles collectibles), the Icons & Idols: TRILOGY Rock ‘n’ Roll Auction will fe...
The Kia Carnival High Limousine Luxury Minivan Is More L.A. Than Sedona
In the U.S., minivans are looked at as appliances. They’re merely un-cool SUVs that practical-minded soccer parents use to taxi their kids from school to practice and back home again. But in other parts of the world, minivans aren’t so stigmatized and attract mainstream appreciation for their value, spaciousness, and flexibility. They also form the basis for luxury VIP-movers, as evidenced by the nicer takes on Mercedes-Benz’s Sprinter, VW’s Transporter, and this, the Kia Carnival High Limousine. Sure, it’s a minivan—likely previewing the 2022 Sedona—but it’s also pretty darn snazzy. <!– –> It might look like the new Kia Sedona with a roof tent slapped on, but the Carnival High Limousine you see before you is much more than that. ItR...
Chevy Brings Its Captivating Captiva Crossover to Mexico
It’s probably been a long time since you heard about the Chevrolet Captiva. You may recognize the name from the Captiva Sport, a fleet-only small crossover that was sold in the United States for a brief time in the early part of the prior decade. Today, the Captiva lives on in the form of a midsize SUV for global markets. It strikes a nice middle ground between the aggressively styled Blazer and the tamer Traverse U.S. consumers are familiar with. Unfortunately, the Captiva probably won’t be coming to our neck of the woods. Mexico will receive the stylish SUV in the first half of 2021, however. Chevrolet hasn’t announced engine specs or prices for the Mexico-spec Captiva, but the brand notes it will arrive for the 2022 model year. The new Captiva has already been introduced in South ...
