During Season 2 of Succession, the character Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong) tried to honor his father Logan with a lot of effort and no self-awareness by writing the octogenarian a rap song. Now you can relive that cringeworthy moment, as HBO and WaterTower Music have released the official studio version of “L to the OG”. Written by Succession composer Nicholas Britell, who also plays DJ Squiggle on the show, “L to the OG” is an intoxicating mix of simple rhymes, brown-nosing lyrics, and one of the whitest characters in TV history appropriating black vernacular. “Yo, bitches be catty, but the king’s my daddy,” he raps, “Rock all the haters while we go roll a ’rati/ Squiggle on the decks, Kenny on the rhyme / And Logan big ballin’ on Hamptons time.” In an interview with Vulture,...
Cheyenne decided she wouldn’t tell Cory about Ryder’s hospitalization while he was away competing on The Challenge: The toddler developed a fever and could not hold down food, which can be “really dangerous” because Ry suffers from a genetic condition called VLCAD and her body can go into shock if she doesn’t eat. During tonight’s Teen Mom OG episode, Cory finally learned about his daughter’s ordeal when he returned home from the MTV competition series. Before the young dad arrived in Los Angeles, Chey had a special request when he got his phone back from production. “I asked his producers if they could give him a warning and tell him first so that he doesn’t turn his phone on and he’s blindsided,” Chey told her sister R Kyl...
Tori was left in the dust to dust during tonight’s Challenge episode — leaving Jordan to fend for the lovebirds in the cutthroat game. But can the reigning champ “keep his head up” in this total madness without his fiancée by his side? The Dirty XXX finalist was eager to earn her red skull, and following Season 35’s sixth mission, called Semi Espionage, Tori volunteered to go into Purgatory. Tribunal member Jenna, who was torn between competing or going home to her boyfriend Zach, decided it was her time to fight for a spot in the final. Ultimately, Jenna defeated Tori during “Dust to Dust”; it was “neck and neck” at the end of the showdown, with Barbie Beast taking it in the end. And of course, Jordan, who was very vocal from the sidel...
Bentley is the oldest Teen Mom OG kiddo — and now Maci‘s firstborn has another distinction among the young MTV boys and girls. During this week’s episode, the 11-year-old (!) met his newest sister Stella, Ryan and Mackenzie’s second child together. So now Bentley has little sister Jayde and little brother Maverick on his mom’s side and little brother Jagger and Baby S on his dad’s side (plus step brother Hudson). The most siblings of all the TMOG mini cast members! “New big brother!” Maci told Benny as he returned home after some quality time with his dad and the rest of the Edwards family. Maci (who was joined by Taylor) asked if Stella was cute, to which Benny enthusiastically said “yes.” “It’s kind of crazy,” ...
Netflix docuseries Tiger King follows the real-life drama of a few big cat-loving villains, some of whom have become heralded celebrities (albeit ironically) since the TV show aired. Now, it looks like there’s some dirt on Tiger King antihero Joe Exotic that may dissuade fans from rooting for him to get out of jail: he donated to Donald Trump during his presidential run in 2016. Four years ago, Exotic paid $1,000 for a meet-and-greet at a Trump campaign outside Oklahoma City, reports TMZ. At one point, he stepped outside the home where the event was being held to smoke a cigarette. When he tried to head back inside, the Secret Service allegedly blocked him and said re-entry wasn’t allowed. He believes it’s because he showed his ID to get back inside and the agents saw his concealed-carry p...
Vinny and Pauly’s first Double Shot At Love didn’t exactly succeed — so now the Jersey Shore besties are “doubling down in Vegas” with their Double Shot exes. Maria, we can’t wait either. In an extended look at Season 2, premiering June 11, Vinny and Pauly reunite — and rekindle — with their former flames. Yes, “let the kids play!” “We are attracted to each other, having fun,” Pauly says in the clip above as he’s seen canoodling with Nikki. The same Nikki he told, “I’m rolling solo for now” during the final decision. And meanwhile, Vinny notes the pair are “boo’d the f*ck up.” What does Nikki have to say about Pauly? Who is “crying over a stripper”? And we see you V...
Mike and Lauren have often talked about “baby time” and their desire to welcome a child. And during tonight’s brand-new Jersey Shore: Family Vacation/em> episode, the Sorrentinos opened up to Vinny, Ronnie, Deena, Jenni and Nicole about a “little situation” with regards to their family. “We got pregnant the night he got home, and then it was six-and-a-half, seven weeks, I miscarried,” Lauren told the group, who was visiting the couple in their new home. Understandably, everyone was surprised — and Ronnie was quick to state, “Sorry to hear that.” “It was a very difficult time,” Mike admitted during his confessional. “One of my biggest fears was coming true. It’s something I’ve never dealt with befor...
Cory — one of The Challenge‘s most notorious hotheads — seems to have done something completely unexpected: He’s let his temper go, and appears to have achieved genuine peace. Crazy, right? The young dad, who’s got a second baby on the way, proved on the latest episode of Total Madness that he’s gone from combustible to calm in record time. The question is: Will his new zeal for zen finally help him to earn his first win? Cory, whose list of previous nemeses is as lengthy and winding as a cross-country course, (remember when he was bounced from Final Reckoning for attacking Tony over stolen pasta?), shocked viewers at the latest house vote when he stood up to Nelson (his best pal) in defense of Kailah (a previous foe). Nelson, who took issue with the fact that Tori ...
Last week, we learned that Timothy Olyphant had joined the cast of The Mandalorian Season 2. Now, Slash Film is reporting that Olyphant will be wearing Boba Fett’s armor, which, uh, doesn’t make a lot of sense, considering Temuera Morrison is playing Boba Fett. So what gives? The simple answer is that someone else had donned the bounty hunter’s protective garb before he wore it. And while that character’s identity hasn’t been confirmed, devoted Star Wars readers will already have someone in mind: Cobb Vanth, former slave, sheriff of the Tatooine city of Freetown, and one of the breakout minor players in Chuck Wendig’s Aftermath trilogy of novels. There are a few clues pointing in Cobb Vanth’s direction. To start, the Aftermath books take place after the R...

And now, the Ex on the Beach lovebirds will be showcasing the final days of Taylor’s pregnancy and eventual arrival of their little girl in a brand-new special airing on MTV. Oh, baby! The Teen Mom OG At Home: Cory & Taylor’s Baby Special, premiering on June 9, will feature the pair filming themselves in the midst of the current global pandemic as they approach this life-changing milestone. And, in a sneak peek below, the entire family is preparing for the tiniest Wharton during these unprecedented times. The Challenge competitor, who is co-parenting with Ryder’s mom Cheyenne, must make tough decisions regarding visitation and proper quarantine procedures to k...
Space Force, the new Netflix sitcom co-created by Steve Carell and Greg Daniels (The Office), has released its first official trailer. And while “Space is hard,” as Carrell’s General Naird says in the clip, the jokes come easily for this veteran comedic cast. As you may have guessed, the series mocks President Trump’s idea for sixth military branch. But the new satire has some targets on the political left, too, and in the trailer a young congresswoman of color with big hoop earrings has the bizarre idea to make “space is hard” the official Space Force motto. The trailer tracks General Naird as he goes from mocking the new branch to becoming its reluctant leader. He’s assisted by the scientist Dr. Adrian Mallory (John Malkovich, in a toned-down riff on Dr. Strangelove) and S...
B. Simone has made her love for DaBaby no secret — and he may have made her wildest dreams come true. During this week’s Nick Cannon Presents: Wild ‘N Outepisode, the rapper and the WNO cast member met at the alter during “Let Me Holla” (as seen in the video below). But not before B. — wedding dress and all — had to interrupt another woman in a white gown talking to her man. Two words: “Hell nah!” So why did baby girl B end up on the floor post-proposal? Are these two officially betrothed? Well? The two were as flirty as ever throughout the Old School vs. New School-themed season. Like, in Kick ‘Em Out The Classroom: And holding each other (!) as they Wildstyle: Watch the roundup of these DaBaby and B. Simone moments, then keep wa...
