Black Lives Matter Advocate Katt Williams Goes Off For Supreme: “The President’s A Clown”
Source: Supreme / Supreme In case you’ve been wondering where has Katt Williams been during the pandemic—he’s been rocking with Supreme. On Sunday (August 16), the sometimes troubled comedian and actor dropped a nearly 7-minute monologue for the streetwear brand that was more biting than funny, in a righteous way. Williams hit on numerous contemporary topics including civil unrest, the coronavirus pandemic, the presidential election and more while keeping the jokes in quarantine. But we were here for it as soon as the Donald Trump slander started. “Right now we have a perfectly suitable clown running the free world,” says Williams. “We got a guy whose advice including things that no decent crackhead would tell you to do with a gunshot wound.” Where is the hydroxychloroquine lie?

James Corden’s Wholesome Parents Watched ‘WAP’ — And Cardi B Is Cackling at Their Reaction
Cardi B stumbled upon a “WAP” reaction video that had her roaring in laughter at 4 a.m. Late Late Show host James Corden asked his parents to watch Cardi and Megan Thee Stallion‘s new music video with no prior context. Malcolm and Margaret Corden, an apparently wholesome older couple, found themselves wondering what their church was going to think of them viewing the suggestive clip. “Never heard of ’em!” Margaret said at the start of their reaction video, while Malcolm added, “Let’s see what all the fuss is about.” Within seconds of the start of “WAP,” the pair laughed loudly, and nervously. “They’re both, you know, well-endowed up top,” Corden’s dad pointed out, as Cardi and Megan appeared. “I...
Supreme Court Asked to Review ‘Stairway to Heaven’ Fight
Is the Supreme Court ready to make music history? One petitioner is giving nine justices of the high court such an opportunity while hardly being subtle about it. Here are the opening notes from a new cert petition: “It is fitting, perhaps, that the future of music copyright law be decided by a case about rock ‘n’ roll’s most iconic song, ‘Stairway to Heaven.’” The petition comes from Michael Skidmore, trustee for the Randy Craig Wolfe Trust — which is to say he’s representing an interest once belonging to Randy “California” Wolfe, singer-songwriter for the rock band Spirit. Wolfe authored a song “Taurus,” which many observers see as being extremely similar in structure to the opening of Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven.&#...

2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Shows Off Opulent Innards Surrounding Tesla-Style Touchscreen
We’re eagerly awaiting the 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which promises a bolder design as it moves into its next generation. Before the big debut, Mercedes is giving us our first official, unredacted look at perhaps the most important part of the vehicle: its interior. (Earlier photo releases covered a few aspects of the cabin, namely its bevy of new MBUX infotainment screens.) Suffice it to say, the cabin is befitting of a benchmark large luxury saloon. See all 22 photos The streamlined design is set off by two large screens. The first is a wide instrument display in front of the driver that resembles the unit on the old S-Class. However, in the center of the dashboard, you’ll find a new horizontally arranged (portrait-style) display that takes a page from Tesla’s layout ...
