Adele Sings Her Hits, Has Zero Chill in ‘The Bachelor’ Sketch on SNL
After two stints as Saturday Night Live’s musical guest, Adele made her hosting debut last night. While some musicians opt to take double duty, H.E.R. performed on the show for the first time ever while the pop superstar focused on acting. However, she did treat fans to snippets of some of her hits during “The Bachelor” sketch, where she competed against a bunch of Hannahs to win a rose from Beck Bennett’s “Ben K.”. “I’m here because I’ve had a lot of heartbreak in my life, first at 19, then sort of famously at 21 and then even more famously at 25,” Adele explained, playing herself. “But I have a really good feeling about Ben K. It’s only Night One, but I can already tell he’s going to be the love of my life.” During the course of the sketch, Adele broke into song on multiple occ...

“You may know me from being the singer Adele. I’m here ’cause I’ve had a lot of heartbreak in my life,” she shared before launching into a resume of sorts by subtly naming her albums. “First at 19, then sort of famously at 21, then even more famously at 25.” The instantly infatuated singer didn’t waste time sharing how she felt about Ben K. “I can already tell he’s going to be the next love of my life,” she confessed.

Adele Gives Update on Her New Album During ‘SNL’ Monologue: Watch
“There’s a couple of reasons: My album’s not finished and I’m too scared to do both. I’d rather just put on some wigs — and this is all mine, by the way — have a glass of wine, or six, and just see what happens.” Adele last commented on her upcoming album’s timeline in August when a fan asked about its status on Instagram. “I honestly have no idea,” the Grammy-winner replied at the time. Adele’s last studio album, 25, arrived in 2015. The set made music sales history, earning a milestone debut on the Billboard 200 chart, and instantly became the year’s top selling album in the U.S. in just one week.

Jerry Jeff Walker, Country Music Legend and ‘Mr. Bojangles’ Songwriter, Dies at 78
Walker emerged from New York’s Greenwich Village folk scene in the 1960s and he was a founding member of the band Circus Maximus. He moved to Texas in the 1970s and in 1972 scored a hit with his version of the Guy Clark song “L.A. Freeway.” Walker and the Lost Gonzo Band in 1973 recorded an album live in Texas called Viva Terlingua that became a classic of the country-rock scene. Walker had since released more than 30 albums. In 1986, he formed independent music label Tried & True Music and released albums under it. Walker was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2017, undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, he told the Austin American Statesman in 2018. “I guess I took my singing for granted, and now I don’t,” he told the newspaper. In 2017, it was announced that Walker had donated more tha...
Bugatti’s Latest Vehicle Looks Fit for a Jedi, Debuts October 28th
Time for your weekly dose of “what the heck?” But instead of originating in the darker reaches of the automotive web, this latest installment comes straight from one of the world’s most prestigious automotive brands: Bugatti. The French brand recently put up a photo of a (presumably) forthcoming vehicle’s taillights on its website with the caption “What if…?”, and we genuinely have no idea what sort of vehicle these lamps are attached to. Bugatti is no stranger to the world of insane concepts, though, and we would not be surprised if this image previews the brand’s next show car. Just look to Bugattis efforts in the late 1990s and its crazy concepts such as the EB 218 and the wildly styled—for its time—18/3 Chiron. These days Bugatti seems mo...

10 Takeaways From Kanye West’s Conversation With Joe Rogan
See several excerpts from his three-hour symphony with Rogan below. He’s prioritizing his relationship with God over the music industry: “When I made Sunday Service, I completely stopped rapping, because I don’t know how to rap for God. All my raps always had nasty jokes. When I went to the hospital in 2016, I wrote, ‘Started church in Calabasas.’ As we left from 2018 going into 2019, I said, ;I’m not going to let one Sunday go by without starting this church.; To start a ministry, I’m like the little drummer boy, where I’m saying, ‘This is all I got to bring, my drum.’ I might not be well versed in the Word, but I know how to make music and I know how to put this choir together. And all things can be made good for God. It qu...
The Strokes to Appear as Musical Guest on SNL Next Week
After a year that started off with a bang, the Strokes ended up having their best-laid plans fizzle out due to the pandemic. They did, if you remember, release an album, the now-eerily titled The New Abnormal in April. Instead of building off the momentum of playing a Bernie Sanders rally in February and a handful of other shows in Europe and the States, Julian Casablancas and company will hit Saturday Night Live as the musical guest next Saturday on Halloween. John Mulaney will host the episode. See the announcement below. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

These Hummer EV Design Proposals Look Even Wilder Than the Real Thing
If you think the 2022 GMC Hummer EV looks pretty wild as it is, know that the design could have been even more dramatic. General Motors took to social media this week to show off some early sketches that influenced the electric pickup truck‘s final design. Just look at those massive tires. This imaginary set of rubber makes the truck look even more formidable, especially with all the extra ground clearance. This is not to say the production model doesn’t impress in this area—it comes standard with 35-inch tires and can accommodate rubber as tall as 37 inches. The sketch also reveals a bolder hood design and some seriously aggressive cladding. The back end looks particularly different than the final product in one of these sketches, taking a more rounded shape and adopting a uni...
