Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder on His Late Father, Getting ‘Gem of Advice’ From Bruce Springsteen
Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder opens up about the “spiritual energy” of his late father, being friends with his rock star heroes (including Bruce Springsteen), and navigating a “terrifying” COVID-19 reality in the latest installment of the Daddy Issues podcast, hosted by sportscaster Joe Buck and actor Oliver Hudson. Listen below. Early on in the wide-ranging segment, the frontman looks back at the mysteries of his father, who died from multiple sclerosis in the early ’80s — having only met briefly met him. (Vedder’s parents divorced before his second birthday.) “I have this image, this spiritual energy up there somewhere where I can feel him look after me,” he says. “Sometimes I’d feel I’m playing certain songs or certain places and I’d feel like his energy — like, ‘I think he’s watching h...
Watch the New Bill & Ted Face the Music Trailer
After releasing the first teaser in early June, Bill & Ted Face the Music has dropped a lengthier trailer. While the initial clip brought us back into the world of Theodore “Ted” Logan, played by Keanu Reeves, and William “Bill” S. Preston Esq., portrayed by Alex Winter, this trailer gives us more information about what’s about to go down. Similar to 1989’s Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and 1991’s Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, Reeves and Winter are set on a mission to save the world in the latest chapter. But now, they’ve got a few more responsibilities. While the two are dealing with making their marriages better and guiding their daughters into adulthood, you see that Bill and Ted are still the same dudes we remember from the ’90s. After being summoned to save the world (aga...
This 1965 Shelby GT350R Prototype Is the Most Expensive Mustang Ever
In the moments following the record sale of one of two ex-Steve McQueen and Bullitt film cars, a weathered and battered Highland Green 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390, we wondered if another Mustang could ever match its final price of $3.74 million. We didn’t have to wait long to find out. Just half a year later, 1965 Shelby GT350R serial number 5R002—the first of two Shelby Mustang team prototypes for the 34 subsequent production Shelby GT350Rs—has sold for $3.85 million, resetting the world-record Mustang sales price. Any time bidding reaches the seven-figure range for a Ford Mustang variant, it’s a big deal, but in this case, it was really no surprise.

It was the battle of the Dogs on Wednesday night (July 22), as Snoop Dogg and DMX faced off as part of the latest heavyweight bout on Swizz Beatz and Timbaland’s Verzuz platform. There was no East Coast-West Coast beef here, as the rap titans’ mutual respect for one another couldn’t have been any higher.

Kygo and OneRepublic Perform Iso-Rendition of ‘Lose Somebody’ for ‘Tonight Show’: Watch
To label Kygo as an EDM DJ is underselling him. The Norwegian artist does spin discs, and produce electronic music. And during his appearance Wednesday on The Tonight Show, he showcased his talents on a grand piano. Kygo (real name Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll) performed an iso-version of “Lose Somebody” with OneRepublic, a collaboration lifted from Golden Hour, the multi-talented European musician’s latest LP. The Nordic wonder is in the mix with another collaboration doing big things on sales charts around the globe. His remix of Tina Turner’s “What’s Love Got To Do With It” is on target to give the soul legend her first U.K. top 40 hit in more than a decade. Golden Hour peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard 200 in June. Watch the performance below. [embedded content] You Deserve to Make Money Even W...
Demi Lovato Announces Engagement to Max Ehrich: ‘Here’s to Our Future’
It’s official: Demi Lovato is getting hitched! The pop star is taking her relationship with Max Ehrich to the next stage, after saying “yes” to his marriage proposal. The “Sorry Not Sorry” singer shared the good news in an Instagram post (see below). “When I was a little girl, my birth dad always called me his ‘little partner’ – something that might’ve sounded strange without his southern cowboy like accent,” she writes. “To me it made perfect sense. And today that word makes perfect sense again but today I’m officially going to be someone else’s partner.” Ehrich, whom she has been romantically linked to since March, is the right guy. “I knew I loved you the moment I met you,” she continues. “It was something I can’t describe to anyone who hasn’t experienced it firsthand but lu...
Willie Nelson Performs ‘I Never Cared for You,’ Talks Lifelong Love of Pot on ‘Kimmel’
Willie Nelson is looking happy and healthy, and just might be the youngest 87-year-old in the music business, based on his appearance Wednesday for Jimmy Kimmel Live. Flanked by his two sons Micah and Lukas, all on acoustic guitars, the country legend performed “I Never Cared for You,” a song he originally cut back in 1964. The Nelsons are one musical family. It’s another welcome comeback for the patriarch, who ended a tour early last August due to lung conditions robbing his breath. He recovered, returned to the road pre-coronavirus and just released a new album, First Rose of Spring. Judging by his stint on late-night TV, he’s not short of energy (or breath). Watch below.

Kim Kardashian Issues Statement On Kanye West, Details Bipolar Disorder Struggle
Source: Splash / Splash News Kim Kardashian has issued a statement regarding the erratic behavior of her husband Kanye West. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Kardashian detailed that her hands have been tied since Yeezy is a grown man, which makes dealing with his bipolar disorder particularly tough while trying to maintain any semblance of privacy. We’ll save the fact that she at least initially dropped her statement on IG Stories for some other time (but yeh, t it wasn’t the Notes app). “As many of you know, Kanye has bi-polar disorder,” she wrote. “Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand. I’ve never spoken publicly about how this has affected us at home because I am very protective of our children an...
