Ozzy Osbourne Says Eddie Van Halen Once Asked Him to Join Van Halen
In a recent episode of his SiriusXM show, Ozzy Speaks, Ozzy Osbourne told a tale about Eddie Van Halen calling him with an offer to join Van Halen. A potential Oz Halen would have been a “shot in the dark,” but the Black Sabbath icon in lieu of Diamond David Lee Roth or Red Rocker Sammy Hagar obviously did not come to pass. Osbourne recounted the tale: “He phoned me up one time and asked me if I wanted to sing in his band — way after Sammy [Hagar had exited the band]. I think he was a bit drunk,” the singer said, adding, “We’ve all done one of them — calling at four o’clock in the morning, going, [intentionally slurs speech].” In 1978, Van Halen opened for Sabbath, and Osbourne recalled Van Halen’s guitar wizardry with awe. “You think you’ve see...
Haim Get in the Halloween Spirit With Robert Pattinson for ‘3 AM’ Performance on Seth Meyers
Haim were in full Halloween mode for their performance of “3 AM” on Thursday night’s edition of Late Night With Seth Meyers. Dressed in poufy wedding gowns (complete with the veils) and Alana sporting some blood on the sides of her mouth, the Haim sisters brought some funk to the late-night show. But what you may not have expected was who they brought as a surprise guest. Before the band played, someone’s phone rings showing that “Emotional Vampire” called, and a clip of Robert Pattinson leaving her a video message appeared. If you thought their performance in The Forum parking lot was good, watch their theatrical version “3 AM” below.

Nicki Minaj Drops A Preview Of Her Newborn Son
Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN Nicki Minaj officially became a mommy a few weeks ago. In new age rapper fashion, she just recently gave fans a preview, a teaser if you will (a snippet?), of her newborn son. “Happy Anniversary, my love ♥️,” was the caption she used for a photo of her son’s tiny little right foot on Wednesday (Oct. 21). The anniversary in question would be her one year of matrimony to hubby Kenneth Petty. Minaj and petty were married in a small ceremony back in October 2019. After keeping her pregnancy on the lee low for the most part, the new bundle of joy arrived September 30. Nevertheless, Minaj still managed to hop on tracks with Tekashi 6ix9ine, to the dislike of many, and most recently linked up with Sada Baby for the “Whole Lotta Choppas (Remix)” just last w...
Sech Talks Black Lives Matter Movement at 2020 Billboard Latin Music Awards: ‘Hopefully, People Listen’
Sech had a big night at the 2020 Billboard Latin Music Awards on Wednesday night, where he took home his first-ever Latin Billboard trophy for best new artist of the year and performed his 2020 hit “Relación” with a gospel choir. But before taking the stage, the Panamanian artist opened up about the Black Lives Matter movement on the red carpet. “I don’t know if it made a difference or how people received it, but it came from my heart to truly support everything that was going on and talk about the topic,” he told Billboard, referring to a heartfelt post he shared on social media in June amid the worldwide protests in response to the death of George Floyd and other Black citizens who have died at the hands of police. “Hopefully those people who are not aware listen and take conscienc...
Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Letter To You’ Has Arrived: Stream It Now
Earlier this week, Springsteen joined Zane Lowe on Apple Music for a deep-dive into his career, his thoughts on writing a book, his Broadway show and so much more. “It was a great project for us,” he says of the new album, “because I don’t think we’ve ever played live together in the studio and then kept everything that we did on the full take, all the singing, all the playing. It’s The E Street Band really completely live. And I overdubbed a few solos and things, but it’s really the band in one shot. We’ve played live in the studio before, but never kept everything, always gone back in and overdubbed a vocal or overdubbed, put other things on.” Letter to You was produced at Springsteen’s home studio in New Jersey with Ron Aniello, mixed by Bob Clearmountain a...

Kendrick Lamar’s Album Coming “Soon Soon” Teases TDE’s Punch
Source: MediaNews Group/Bay Area News via Getty Images / Getty Kendrick Lamar’s long-awaited, highly anticipated album is on its way, apparently. The news comes after a curious Twitter user quizzed Top Dog Entertainment’s president Terrence “Punch” Henderson on the status of Lamar’s highly anticipated drop. “When is Kendrick dropping,” the user asked.

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Between his music career, chicken wing stop and other business hustles (that is public knowledge), Rick Ross has definitely paid the cost to be The Bawse so of course the “Hustlin’” rapper just treated himself to much more than 40 acres and a mule. More than double that in fact. According to TMZ, Ricky Rozay is now the proud owner of 87 acres of land in his Fayetteville, GA where he can turn his “Promise Land” into a mini Vegas complete with Wing Stops and strip clubs galore. Ross posted a picture of his purchase on his IG page with a caption that read “Promise Land just got BIGGER.” Well, that’s one way to get over the pain of watching his Miami Heat lose their bid at an NBA championship last week.
