Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s third wedding was their most lavish one yet. After officially tying the knot on May 15 in an intimate courthouse ceremony in Southern California, the couple gathered their family and friends together for a bigger celebration in Portofino, Italy, where they said their third round of “I dos” on May 22.

As reported by People, the couple exchanged their vows at L’Olivetta before having a reception at the 16th-century Castello Brown museum. The historic backdrop came with a dramatic set of stairs for Kardashian to walk down on her way ...
He may not be a “Sk8er Boi,” but Marshmello sure is a superstar—especially after his recent songwriting work on Avril Lavigne‘s new track, “Bite Me.” Released November 10th, it’s the lead single off Lavigne’s forthcoming seventh studio album, due in 2022. Featuring angsty lyricism and frenetic drum breaks courtesy of blink-182’s Travis Barker, “Bite Me” is a classic pop-punk anthem that harkens back to Lavigne’s distinctive early 2000s-era sound. It’s tough not to get nostalgic for afternoons spent browsing the racks at Hot Topic and head-banging to the tunes of Sum 41 and Good Charlotte. Marshmello received a songwriting credit on the single, which also features contributions from Omar Fedi, who is perhaps best k...

Willow and Avril Lavigne dressed to the punk-nines in their new video for “G R O W.” [embedded content] Hailing from Willow’s recently debuted lately I feel EVERYTHING, the pop-punk idols of today and the ’00s unite and further the genre with sound, looks, and the fight to allow us all to have a little more room to grow. The track features Travis Barker on drums, bringing in a hint of ’90s hard-rock flavor as a nice bow to tie up the ode of constant evolution, in both yourself and in the music. And is anyone talking about how Lavigne literally hasn’t aged a day? Willow is set to finish up her sold-out headlining tour in Atlanta today, and will support Billie Eilish on her tour in February. We spoke with Willow earlier this year about her move to pop punk and why she’s ready for her ro...
