Hayley Williams Rips Former Paramore Bandmate Over Homophobic Comments
Paramore singer Hayley Williams hasn’t been afraid to speak up in the past, so it should come as no surprise that she didn’t mince words when it came to a former bandmate. In a post that had been circulating on Facebook, ex-Paramore guitarist Josh Farro made homophobic comments that compared homosexuality to pedophilia. Williams didn’t take too kindly to hearing about that. In a post of her own, the singer ripped the guitarist, who left the band in 2010. “there’s a reason there are only 3 people left in @paramore,” she said in a tweet. “surprise, haters, it ain’t cause of me. paramore do not condone religiously/politically dogmatic beliefs which leave our LGBTQ+ friends, fans, & family feeling abandoned and hopeless.” You can see the full thread with Williams’ comments below. and ya kn...
We Still Can’t Fight the Moonlight: Here’s The ‘Coyote Ugly’ Megamix You Didn’t Know You Needed
For all of us who saw Coyote Ugly in the theater (twice), a standout was not just the film’s aspirational lifestyle of boozy fun, but the pop-centric soundtrack. Featuring a quartet of LeAnn Rimes bangers — “Can’t Fight the Moonlight,” “Please Remember,” “The Right Kind of Wrong” and “But I Do Love You” (all of which were written by Dianne Warren), the music gave the ladies of the namesake canteen something to dance to when they took to the top of the bar, with Rimes herself strutting alongside them in the film’s climactic scene. Now, Grammy-winning producer Dave Audé has gifted us a Coyote Ugly megamix featuring all four of Rimes’ hits mashed up into a dancefloor-worthy extravaganza of beats and lyrics you still...

Breonna Taylor Grand Jurors Say They Were “Betrayed” By Kentucky AG
Source: Jon Cherry / Getty The grand jury’s decision to not prosecute any of the officers involved in the killing of Breonna Taylor was disappointing, but not shocking as we’ve all become used to police getting away with murder. Following the controversial decision, jurors began to complain that Kentucky attorney general Daniel Cameron never presented them with the option to consider murder or manslaughter charges against the officers in question, and now TMZ is reporting that two male jurors (one Black and one white) are speaking out and confirm that the fix was in from the get-go. Speaking to CBS’ Gayle King about how the case was presented to them, the jurors call the Daniel’s actions a “betrayal” and called out the Kentucky AG for lying about the 6 homicide options the jurors had on th...

Cardi B Claps Back At Racists Who Claim She Is Devaluing Birkin Bags
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Cardi B is no stranger to criticism but this time the allegations have a very bigoted undertone. She is now accused of sending a legacy luxury brand’s identity to the gutter. As spotted on Page Six the Bronx Bombshell is addressing some hate that continues to brew regarding her taste for the finer things. Earlier this week her husband Offset splurged on his lady in a major way at a Los Angeles Hermès store. He picked out four of their signature Birkin purses which came to the tune of a whopping $128,000 dollars. The gesture left some folks in their feelings saying that the purchase was too extravagant since they only walked away with four pieces. But for those not in the know the “Bodak Yellow” MC has been collecting these pricey totes since she...
Neil Young’s Older Brother Releases First-Ever Song at Age 78
Apparently, music is in the Young family’s genes. Neil Young’s older brother Bob dropped his first-ever single, “Hey America” with the Peterboroughs, at the age of 78. (Neil is four years, er, younger.) The tune, out on Shakey Pictures Records, features Neil Young on harmonica. “The filming of ‘Hey America’ was done in the Covid 19 environment,” Neil Young said in a statement. “One shot where we’re all standing together, singing without masks was done in three separate shoots with the same background and assembled in post-production to look like three people singing together. Stay safe,” the younger Young added. The shaggy folk anthem, which sounds like Homegrown-era Neil Young, was an inspired creation. “I didn’t set out to become a songwriter and singer at 78 years of age,” Bob Youn...
2021 Jaguar E-Pace First Look: The New Entry Level Jag
Fresh-Faced Feline Luckily, the updates for 2021 are nearly as comprehensive as the work done to the F-Pace. On the outside, the sides and rear of the E-Pace remain mostly unchanged, but there is a new face up front that’s slightly more mature than last year’s giddy looking treatment. There is a new mesh grille with chrome brightwork, a set of new LED headlights, and a new, more sculpted hood, all of which bring the little SUV in line the rest of the 2021 Jaguar lineup. As before, the E-Pace offers two turbocharged four-cylinder powertrains. The P250 and P250 SE models will use the carryover entry-level 246-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that sends power through a nine-speed automatic to all four wheels. Sport 300 models get the (also carryover) 296-hp, mild-hybrid 2.0...
Foo Fighters Brew a ‘Fresh Pot’ of Fun in Caffeinated Commercial Spoof
In a spoof that mimics commercials for nebulous drugs that treat unnamed issues, Dave Grohl reflects on a decade-old coffee addiction used to impair “solid bowel movements” leave him with “noxious coffee breath.” In his (excellent) version of a serious/sad TV voiceover, Grohl laments, “I found myself doing anything for the fix. My roast grew darker and darker until I finally hit pot bottom. I couldn’t be there for the ones I love when they needed me the most.” But wait, there’s a cure! TV-ad-Grohl perks up when he shills for “Fresh Potix.” But, as with all “those” drugs, it seems the side effects may be worse than the disease, just ask his Foo Fighters bandmates. A woman’s voice soothingly advises to “consult your doctor” should you experience any of the following side effects: “severe mon...
Bebe Rexha Gets ‘Quizzed’ by ‘Clueless’ Star Alicia Silverstone — Then Turns the Tables
After nailing the True or False round of “Quizzed” with lightning speed, the singer-songwriter declares, “I’m a professional at Clueless facts!” The General Trivia round — which included questions about Cher’s cause for the school charity drive, the song Elton (Jeremy Sisto) sang with Tai (Brittany Murphy), and more — didn’t go much differently. That leads Silverstone to ponder: “If I didn’t have these answers, I’m really curious if I would know these answers. … I’m just wondering if you were given the cheat sheet before this!” During the round, Rexha admits that revisiting the film as an adult brought new understanding to some of the lines and props. “Watching the movie growing up, I didn’...
