Paul Stanley Seen Without Mask Days After Testing Positive for COVID-19
Just days after announcing he tested positive for COVID-19, KISS singer-guitarist Paul Stanley was spotted walking inside of a Los Angeles hotel without a face mask. The Daily Mail published photographs of a maskless Stanley entering Sunset Marquis Hotel on Tuesday — five days after he announced his positive diagnosis. The following day, Stanley took to Twitter to say he was “staying clear of people for a few more days.” He added, “Do I think my ‘freedom’ ever includes jeopardizing other people’s health?… No, I don’t.” Advertisement Related Video Stanley’s KISS bandmate, Gene Simmons, has also tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, the band has postponed seven tour dates. They hope to return to the road starting September 9th in Irvine, CA. Stay safe and mask up. Better yet, grab a fac...
Kanye West Gets Absolutely Roasted by… Peppa Pig?
As all parents know, Peppa Pig is an insufferable little swine, devoid of any redeeming qualities except that her nearly constant whining and snorting can buy mom and dad about five minutes of precious silence. But the same personality that makes her such a bully to poor George Pig can also be extended to people who actually deserve it. And when it came time to roast Kanye West, that little porker went HAM. The savage tweet from the Peppa Pig account has now been deleted, the better to keep up the pretense that this porcine oppressor should be allowed anywhere near your children. But screenshots have preserved it for posterity, and it concerns the Pitchfork reviews of two divisive albums: Peppa Pig’s Peppa’s Adventures and Ye’s Donda. You see, Pitchfork gave Peppa’...
Olympia Music Festival Scammed by Fake Jonathan Richman
Up until Friday, August 27th, Modern Lovers singer Jonathan Richman was scheduled to headline LoveOly Summer Fest in Olympia, Washington — or so the organizers thought. As it turns out, the Olympia Film Society fell victim to “an elaborate booking scam” and neither Richman nor his publicist knew anything about the concert until they were contacted for an interview. As reported by The Olympian, the scam was uncovered when Mark “Markly” Morrison, host of the Low Profile podcast, contacted Richman’s publicist Debbie Gulyas to request an interview with the veteran singer-songwriter. Both Gulyas and Richman were “confused,” as they had no knowledge about his festival appearance until receiving the email. The Film Society, which books concerts for the weekly festival, had slated Richma...
James Corden Gets Roasted for Blocking LA Traffic with Flash Mob
Let’s get…loud? James Corden held up traffic in Los Angeles on Friday with the cast of the upcoming Cinderella remake to perform Jennifer Lopez’s “Let’s Get Loud” while dressed in as a giant mouse. One particular driver at the front of the pack happened to capture the performance, and got a front row seat to Corden thrusting in the air to the beat while Camila Cabello breathlessly mouthed the words to J.Lo’s hit 1999 single. “LMFAO CAMILLA IS SO PRETTY,” the fan posted on Twitter alongside the clip, leading it to go viral with jokes, criticism, and other hilarious commentary. “Imagine being late to work because james corden had to do hip thrusts at you in a rat costume,” one person quipped, while another wrote, “Seeing James Corden in a rat costume one more time will be the start of my vil...
Kanye Brings Out Marilyn Manson and DaBaby at Donda Listening Party
Kanye West held his latest Donda listening party at Chicago’s Soldier Field on Thursday night, and he made the conscious decision to appear alongside two of the most toxic figures in music: Marilyn Manson and DaBaby. Manson and DaBaby accompanied West on the porch of a replica of his childhood home, constructed midfield at Soldier Field. Presumably, their appearances were some sort of commentary on “canceled” musicians; in the case of Manson, he’s been accused by multiple women of sexual abuse. Meanwhile, DaBaby was dropped by a number of major music festivals after going on a homophobic rant last month. What’s more, Kanye replaced a Jay-Z verse on Donda with one from DaBaby. And the evening only got more bizarre from there: towards the end of the listening party, Kanye literally lit himse...
Kanye West Files to Legally Change Name to “Ye”
Kanye West has filed documents to legally change his name to “Ye.” TMZ reports that the 44-year-old rapper submitted the paperwork with a California court this week. Under state law, he’ll be given a court date sometime in the next three months, at which point a judge will hear Kanye’s petition and decide whether to approve the name change. Kanye has yet to publicly comment on the move, but this is not the first time he has flirted with a rebrand. In 2019, he said he had considered legally changing his name to “Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West” “until ‘yall understand exactly what it is.” Kanye did not follow through with that threat, but this time he’s gone as far to actually file a legal petition with the court. It’s now in the hands of a judge to decide whether one of the biggest...
Travis Tritt Quotes MLK in Explaining Why Vaccine Mandates are Discriminatory
With each passing day, more and more artists and promoters are asking for proof of vaccination as a requirement to attend in-person events. In response to this growing trend, the multi-platinum country musician Travis Tritt felt compelled “to make a statement” against such mandates, likening them to a form of discrimination. “In light of recently announced policies and mandates from some entertainment companies, promoters and local municipalities which would discriminate against specific concert attendees who are not vaccinated, I feel compelled to make a statement,” Tritt said. “I have always been a huge defender of basic human rights and liberty for all. No government, employer or private entity should ever be allowed to infringe on those rights and liberties. I’m also very much against ...
OnlyFans to Prohibit “Sexually Explicit Content” Starting in October
OnlyFans, the premium social networking platform synonymous with adult content is getting out of the adult content business. In a move akin to Dominos announcing its no longer selling pizza, OnlyFans said on Thursday that it will “prohibit users from posting any sexually explicit conduct, starting in October.” According to Bloomberg, OnlyFans’ policy change stems from “mounting pressure from banking partners and payment providers.” “In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of our platform, and the continue to host an inclusive community of creators and fans, we must evolve our content guidelines,” the company said in a statement.

Woman Claims She’s Married to Michael Jackson’s Ghost
Kathleen Roberts has a lot going on: she’s a medium, a self-declared “reincarnation of Marilyn Monroe,” and the alleged wife of Michael Jackson’s ghost — or at least she claims they’re married in an essay she penned for the Daily Star. According to Roberts, she and Jackson’s ghost have been married ever since he proposed “clairvoyantly” with a pink engagement ring. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. allegedly officiated the ceremony when she was getting out of a bathtub, because why not. Roberts believes Jackson’s ghost sought her out because of her resemblance to his longtime fascination Marilyn Monroe; reports claim Jackson displayed a large, painted, fiberglass figure of Monroe in his private Neverland office and kept a photo of her on his bedside table, too. “I feel special that he chose me f...
Anderson .Paak Shares Picture of Tattoo Warning Against Releasing Posthumous Music
Everyone knows that some meetings could have been emails, but have you ever heard of a whole tattoo that could have been an email? Anderson .Paak has shared a picture of what is apparently some fresh ink, and it details across nine lines of all-caps writing that after his death, none of his music should be released posthumously. As Billboard, NME, and others have reported, the image appeared on .Paak’s instagram stories, though it was gone a few hours later and may have been deleted. If the photograph was real, then .Paak endured a couple of hours of pain, spent a few hundred dollars, and made a lifelong commitment to a message that really might have been a text to his lawyer. “When I’m gone, please don’t release any posthumous albums or songs with my name attached,” the tattoo r...
DaBaby Retracts Apology for Homophobic Rant
DaBaby has retracted his apology to the LGBTQ+ community which he made in response to the growing controversy over his homophobic rant at last month’s Rolling Loud Festival. Amidst public outcry, the rapper posted the apology to Instagram on August 2nd. “Social media moves so fast that people want to demolish you before you even have the opportunity to grow, educate, and learn from your mistakes,” DaBaby wrote. “As a man who has had to make his own way from very difficult circumstances, having people I know publicly working against me– knowing that what I needed was education on these topics and guidance– has been challenging. I appreciate the many people who came to me with kindness, who reached out to me privately to offer wisdom, education, and resources. That’s what I needed and it was...
