The 2021 Audi R8 Lineup Sees Return of Rear-Wheel-Drive Option
Even though Audi has been around since 1969, the brand’s first-ever rear-wheel-drive car came out in 2018. It was the R8 RWS, a limited-edition, less expensive version of the R8 sports car that lacked front drive shafts, weighed a whole lot less than the standard all-wheel-drive model, and had slightly less power. Audi has already repeated the RWS formula with the facelifted R8 that came out last year, but for 2021 the automaker is bringing it stateside as a regular member of the R8 lineup. The rear-drive Audi R8 will once again serve as the entry point to the R8 range, and it will come in both coupe and topless Spyder forms—the latter being an option unavailable on the limited-run R8 RWS last time around. The entry-level, non-Performance-spec Audi R8s are dead for 2021, meaning if y...
The 2021 Acura MDX’s Luxed-Up Interior Teased Before the Full Unveil
The most obvious changes are the brand new driver’s area, the addition of a fully digital driver’s display that the brand is calling the Acura Precision Cockpit, and a brand new central tunnel that contains a drive mode selector much like the one found in the NSX supercar. Another massive screen sits atop the dashboard, revealing a reworked infotainment system that’s more elegant than before. Other photos reveal the new look to the seats. There’s now more detailing in the way of contrasting stitching and piping, as well as intricate quilting. It also looks like there are tiny holes for seat ventilation, too. The leather with the contrasting piping continues into the second (and perhaps even the third) row of the new MDX. See all 6 photos Lastly there’s a look ...

Britney Spears’ Capacity Called Into Question as Lawyer Defends Lack of Direct Testimony
Still, accusations that Jamie was effectively holding the singer legally hostage continued to gain traction with fans this summer after Ingham, in an Aug. 17 filing, indicated Britney no longer wanted her father to be the sole conservator of her estate and was “strongly opposed” to him being reinstated as the conservator of her person. Ingham described Britney’s conservatorship as having three phases. During the first “triage” phase, “her conservators rescued her from a collapse, exploitation by predatory individuals and financial ruin.” Next came the time when she was actively performing again and “with the aid of a personal manager, a business manager and many other individuals, BRITNEY was able to regain her position as a world-class enter...

Stevie Nicks Wants to Heal the World With Dreamy ‘Show Them The Way’: Stream It Now
Behind the scenes is an all-star lineup, both in the studio and in Nicks’ dreams. Foo Fighter Dave Grohl plays drums on “Show Them The Way,” Dave Stewart is on guitar, Greg Kurstin produced, and Cameron Crowe directed the music video. “This song really is a prayer,” she explains. “This song is a prayer for people to unite. A prayer for people to get together.” Speaking to the AP, Nicks said the song came to her in a dream back in 2008, during which the Hall of Famer was hanging with the likes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., John Lennon, John Lewis, John F.

Scientists Created a Device That Allows Monkeys to Play Sounds and Beats—Including Electronic Music
Humans aren’t the only ones able to be moved by music. Joining forces with the Animal-Computer Interaction research team at Aalto University’s Department of Computer Science, a team of Finnish scientists have developed a sound device for a group of saki monkeys at Helsinki’s Korkeasaari Zoo to use to play and listen to music. The tunnel-shaped device, which has a plywood floor and transparent acrylic roof and is able to reproduce sound, was placed in the monkeys’ habitat in the zoo. The animals were able to physically turn it on by themselves, eventually developing tastes or aversion to certain types of beats and sounds—including electronic music.

Tory Lanez Charged In Megan Thee Stallion Shooting, 22 Years If Convicted
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz That took entirely longer than expected. Tory Lanez has been charged in the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. It all started way back in July, when slowly but surely the circumstances of an incident involving the Canadian singer and Houston rapper kept evolving from a police stop (which led to gun charges for Lanez) to an injured foot allegedly cut on broken glass to Meg finally revealing that she had actually been shot. While social media immediately fingered Lanez, it took more time for the “Savage” rapper to finally reveal that it was Lanez that allegedly did the shooting. With the authorities seemingly waiting on witness testimony instead of a proactive investigation, it wasn’t until today (Oct. 8), that the Los Angeles County District Attor...
YG “Jealous,” Bow Wow “Met On Collins” & More | Daily Visuals 10.8.20
Source: DJDM/WENN.com / WENN Back before Donald Trump shocked the world and became the 45th President of The United States with the help of Russia, YG and Nipsey Hussle (R.I.P) took some not so subtle shots at the future Racist-In-Chief with “F*ck Donald Trump” and now 4 years later, YG is once again letting Trump know that he ain’t it, chief. Once again taking aim at the orange mango clown in his visuals to “Jealous,” YG has a fake Donald Trump turn up to his track while throwing up the B’s and getting lap dances from some thick young women in the Oval Office. Are Bloods and White Supremacists ever going to settle who has the absolute right to throw up the “b”’s with their hands? Not trying to start nothing, just sayin.’ Bow Wow meanwhile is looking to get back into the swing of this musi...
