Madonna Gives Birth to Trees and Butterflies in Fully Nude NFTs
Madonna has jumped on the NFT bandwagon, and much like her career in pop music, she’s not afraid to, uh, push boundaries. The musician teamed up with digital artist Beeple to create the charity-benefitting, very NSFW collection “Mother of Creation,” which depicts a fully nude Madge giving birth to trees, butterflies, and other insects. According to Madonna, the “Mother of Creation” trifecta is meant to draw a connection between the ways people create life and the ways people create art. “I wanted to investigate the concept of creation, not only the way a child enters the world through a woman’s vagina, but also the way an artist gives birth to creativity,” the artist explained in a statement. The collection offers three, minute-long videos of a digitized Madonna, where those aforementioned...
Here’s the Story Behind the White House’s Secret Vinyl Collection
Sure, the Library of Congress has a National Film Registry, and sure, President Obama stays up to date on popular music, but can you imagine the White House housing its own private record collection? For a time, it did, and John Chuldenko — grandson of President Jimmy Carter — unearthed it. Chuldenko, a writer, director, and producer, learned of the vinyl collection from his uncle Jeff, who, as Carter’s youngest son, spun the music himself when he was living at the White House. The selection came to be in the 1970s, when the Recording Industry Association of America approached the White House about creating a library for music the same way the American Booksellers Association had done for books. Songwriter Johnny Mercer curated the library’s initial installation, and over 1,800 LPs were pr...
The Lemonheads’ Evan Dando Says Jawbreaker Are “Pussies” After Being Fired from Their Tour
In today’s dose alt-rock drama: Lemonheads frontman Evan Dando posted some harsh tweets this week at the expense of Jawbreaker, after the latter band fired the former from a tour. “I just want anyone anyone and everyone to know that Jawbreaker are pussies. Fact not my opinion,” Dando wrote on May 5th. “Or rather they aren’t the Bruce Springsteen’s of alternative rock that they pretend to be . I’ll meet any of them any time for a Fight let’s go.” Back in April, Jawbreaker posted an update to social media saying The Get Up Kids would be replacing The Lemonheads for three tour dates on the “Dear You” 25th Anniversary Tour. Jawbreaker didn’t explain the cause of the switch-up, but Dando evidently had some ideas: “Those motherfuckers kicked us off the tour because they were scared of us With me...
NASA Scientists Hope to Send Nudes in Message to Aliens
Leave it to NASA to come up with a new way to send unsolicited nudes. In a recent study proposing a new type of message to beam to intelligent life forms, scientists shared a slide containing a naked photo of a man and a woman. Named A Beacon in the Galaxy, the message was laid out in a paper written by Jonathan Jiang, a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and his colleagues. The team hopes to build on past attempts to connect with extraterrestrials through a message written in binary code that contains basic concepts in mathematics, chemistry, and biology. One of the slides is titled “Illustrations of the Human Form,” and it contains a pixelated man and woman standing next to each other with nary a piece of clothing in sight. On one side of the “depiction of human mal...
Fans of Garth Brooks Cause Small Earthquake During LSU Concert
Since his version of “Callin’ Baton Rouge” doubles at LSU’s unofficial anthem, Garth Brooks must have expected his performance of the country standard at Tiger Stadium would get fans shaking in their boots. But even he couldn’t have predicted it would cause a literal earthquake captured by the school’s seismograph. Around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday night, Brooks teased the crowd of more than 100,000 by saying, “I have to ask you, Baton Rouge? Is it time?” Once the opening strains of the fiddle hit, the crowd proceeded to lose their shit while singing in unison, clapping their hands, and stomping their feet. In the process, they registered a small earthquake on a seismograph set up in anticipation of the performance. “The noise level in the stadium was insane!” wrote one attendee on Faceboo...

Olivia Wilde Served Custody Papers from Jason Sudeikis at CinemaCon [UPDATED]
Olivia Wilde was served custody papers from her ex-fiancé, Jason Sudeikis, while presenting the trailer for her upcoming film Don’t Worry Darling at CinemaCon, Deadline reports. The actress/director was previewing her upcoming project, which stars Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, at the gathering of movie theater owners when an unidentified person approached the stage and slid her a manila envelope marked personal and confidential. “This is for me?” Wilde asked, according to Deadline. It was later confirmed by Deadline that the envelope contained legal documents. Update: According to a source close to Sudeikis, the documents were drawn up to establish jurisdiction relating to the couple’s children. The source also said Sudeikis “had no prior knowledge of the time or place that the enve...
Megan Fox Confirms She and Machine Gun Kelly Drink Each Other’s Blood
No, this is not a deleted scene from Jennifer’s Body: Megan Fox has doubled down on the claim that she does, in fact, drink the blood of her fiancé Machine Gun Kelly. The actress confirmed her gory habit in a recent interview with Glamour, clarifying that it’s “for ritual purposes only.” “I guess to drink each other’s blood might mislead people or people are imagining us with goblets and we’re like Game of Thrones, drinking each other’s blood,” Fox said. “It’s just a few drops, but yes, we do consume each other’s blood on occasion for ritual purposes only.” Fox, a noted devotee to spiritual affairs, first raised speculations of blood-drinking back in January when MGK popped the question: “Just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I s...
Rudy Giuliani’s Appearance on The Masked Singer Was As Gross As Expected
Aside from helping to stage an attempted coup, seducing an underage girl, and getting sloppy drunk in the middle of the day, Rudy Giuliani doesn’t have a lot of fun these days. He admitted as much during Wednesday’s episode of The Masked Singer as he attempted to explain how “America’s Mayor” found himself participating in a singing competition series alongside other D-list celebrities dressed like a lemur, armadillo, and teddy bear. In Giuliani’s case, he performed George Thorogood & the Destroyers’ “Bad to the Bone” dressed up as the Jack in the Box. “I want [my granddaughter] to know that you should try everything. Even things that are completely unlike you and unlikely,” Giuliani explained. “I couldn’t think of anything more unlike me and unlikely than this. And I enjoy the show. I...
The Biggest News Out of Coachella? Taco Bell Is Bringing Back Mexican Pizza
This past Easter Sunday, many people celebrated a different kind of resurrection. During her set at Coachella, Doja Cat — herself a quasi-religious figure, as the patron saint of hot girls who are visibly stoned in public — announced that Taco Bell would be bringing the Mexican Pizza back from the dead. “I brought back the Mexican Pizza by the way,” she howled during the performance, before laughing like a supervillain who had just pushed the big red button. The item returns May 19th, nearly one month after April 20th, which many people unofficially celebrate as Taco Bell Day. The Mexican Pizza was first rolled out under a different name in 1985. Since then it’s become beloved by fast-food fans for presenting a slightly different twist on the same seven ingredients that are in everything T...
David Mamet Claims Teachers Are “Inclined” to “Pedophilia”
To quote David Mamet’s Romance, “Uh, what the fuck?” The film director and Pulitzer-prize winning playwright claimed in a conversation with Fox News’ Life, Liberty & Levin that teachers are “inclined” towards “pedophilia.” Mamet, whose plays include Glengarry Glen Ross and American Buffalo, and who was nominated for Academy Awards for his screenplays for The Verdict and Wag the Dog, was on the program to promote his new book Recessional: The Death of Free Speech and the Cost of a Free Lunch. “We have to take back control,” he said. “If there’s no community control of the schools, what we have is kids being not only indoctrinated but groomed in a very real sense by people who are — whether they know it or not — sexual predators. Are they abus...
Kid Rock Opens Tour with Video Message from Donald Trump
In a feat that’s actually far less surprising than it should be, noted MAGA advocate Kid Rock has recruited none other than former president Donald Trump to welcome similarly indoctrinated attendees to his arena tour. During a recent stop on his aptly-named “Bad Reputation Tour,” Kid Rock opened the show with a personal video message from Number 45. “Hello, everyone,” Trump says in the clip. “I love you all. I know you’re having a great time at the Kid Rock concert tonight. Quite frankly, he’s amazing. All of you in attendance are truly the backbone of our great country. Hard-working, God-fearing rock-and-roll patriots.” Mar-a-Lago’s newest DJ — who allegedly once asked Kid Rock for foreign policy advice — continued: “Bob is truly one of the greatest entertainers of our time. Not the best ...
John Hinckley Jr., Who Shot Ronald Reagan, Books Concert in Brooklyn
John Hinckley Jr., the man who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981, will play a concert in Brooklyn this summer. In 2016, after spending 34 years under institutional psychiatric care, Hinckley was released into the custody of his mother. In the time since then, Hinckley has pursued an interest in music, releasing more than three dozen videos to YouTube, including originals and covers of Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Elvis Presley. At one point, Hinckley even petitioned the court for permission to move to Los Angeles so that he could pursue a career in the music industry. Now, Hinckley has announced his first-ever public gig: it’ll take place on July 8th at Brooklyn’s Market Hotel. What’s more, he’ll be joined by “special guests,” according to a tweet posted by the conce...
