Jimmy Fallon is a bit of a klutz. He somehow managed to nearly sever his ring finger after tripping on a rug last summer. This weekend he injured his hand by doing what’s typically a risk-free activity: Accepting an award. Fallon was being awarded the Elmer Award for Excellence in Humor by Harvard University when he tripped […]

Just before he officially blew up off the Beauty Behind The Madness singles, The Weeknd got into some trouble with the law. He was arrested in January for allegedly punching a police officer in the head at Las Vegas’s Cromwell Hotel. The cop was reportedly trying to break up a fight that The Weeknd was involved in. […]
Anthony Mackie doesn’t have any sense. He pushes sexist ideas and cops for Donald Trump like they’re consensus thoughts rather examples of that lack of sense. He continues to not make sense when he spoke about the Black Panther film. The upcoming project doesn’t have a dirctor yet after F. Gary Gray and Ava DuVernay, two of today’s most lauded black directors, passed on […]
The Billboard reign for Justin Bieber‘s “What Do You Mean?” was halted thanks to fellow Canadians Drake and The Weeknd. Perhaps his new single “Sorry” will fare a little better. Bieber dropped the song three weeks before Purpose, his long-awaited fourth album. “Sorry” follows the same romantic premise of its preceding single. This time, it meshes island vibes with an […]
Jay Z couldn’t be touched by copyright lawsuits even after the infamous Robin Thicke trial. Baligh Hamdi’s nephew Osama Ahmed Fahmy sued Hov and Timbaland for allegedly failing to clear his uncle’s song before using it for “Big Pimpin.” The judge cleared the duo before it even went to the jury. While Jay Z claimed he didn’t know there was a sample […]

That new Kanye West album doesn’t look like it’s coming any time soon. But the good news is that he’s still releasing new music. Well, semi-new music at least. Ye surprised the Internet by dropping a revision of 808s & Heartbreak’s “Say You Will” featuring Caroline Shaw and “When I See It,” which you will recognize as a version […]
The young girl you see above isn’t old enough to know goodbye anthems like Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” or Diddy’s “I’ll Be Missing You.” But she is old enough to bathe herself and her deceased goldfish in the baptismal sonic waters of Fetty Wap‘s “679.” Her heart is weary, but her soul […]
Chris Brown is dropping his seventh studio album, Royalty, on Black Friday. He doesn’t have a prison sentence delaying it like last time, so this release date should stick.
