Footage from Christina Grimmie’s final concert shows the man... who killed her just hours later at a meet and greet, standing in the crowd. On June 10, 2016, Grimmie performed with Before You Exit at The Plaza Live in Orlando, Florida. After her performance, Grimmie signed autographs inside the venue.

Loibl then pulled out his Glock pistol and shot her three times at point-blank range. Loibl then turned the gun on himself.show more

Comedian Chelsea Handler shaded Nicki Minaj during the 2026... Critics' Choice Awards monologue. On Sunday (Jan. 4), Handler kicked off the annual awards show with a monologue, where she had jokes for several celebrities. While bigging up the 2025 film Sinners, Handler referenced backlash from Nicki's recent heel turn. "Sinners was a massive blockbuster," Handler told the crowd. "Although I haven't been invited to a Black person's house since. Except Nicki Minaj's, but who wants to go over there?" Nicki Minaj has faced resentment from fans after going full MAGA at a Turning Point USA conference hosted by Erika Kirk last month. There are currently multiple petitions on change[dot]org calling for the rapper's deportation to her native country, Trinidad.show more

Pic 1: 🤥 admitted that she loves drama because... it's funny, indirectly encouraging her fans to stir up more drama. Pic 2: 🤥 directly commented under a toxic Yobie's post, telling them to keep fighting and "just win." Pic 3: 🤥 laughed updates away with her fans after finding out her fandom was reporting other artists' activities in China. And this very attitude of hers has indirectly fueled Yobies to attack Faye every single day! Yet, FY CPFs turn a blind eye to all of this, constantly putting her on a pedestal and always finding excuses to justify her terrible behavior. In contrast, Faye only interacts under New Year's greeting posts or posts where fans talk about her—and that right there is the difference. But no matter what Faye does, even when she stays silent, all Yobies and CPFs still attack her and find reasons to hate on her daily. Even when the evidence of Yobies reporting Faye's schedule in China was exposed, they didn't stand by Faye for a single second; instead, they claimed it was all fabricated by Fayemily. For over a year now, even when Faye is clearly the victim, they still find a way to blame it on her!show more

ALLEGEDLY 🙄: The truth will be revealed. NineStar has... abused its authority over its artists. It intentionally sabotaged work and rejected brand deals that would’ve grown the individual and couple brand. She involved herself in their personal relationship and made it a causality of her ego. 95% of the people who worked with NineStar in the industry have terminated their working relationship and taken Faye’s side. For the Yobies and Yoko, I say this…the makeup artists left, music producers left, production companies, potential new actors and actors previously employed by them left, film/series producers have called them out for the unfair treatment of NineStar’s artists. The news and media in several countries have called attention to their abnormal business practices and the fans response. I say all that to say…if everyone around Wan has abandoned her and the company is it not safe to say the company and Wan are the problem, Yoko? Surely everyone can’t be wrong! I hope you see the light soon. NINESTAR DECEIVE FANS #StopTheLiesshow more

#TBT By early 1973, Randy Bachman had burned through... $97,000 of his Guess Who royalties keeping Brave Belt alive. He was paying the band $175 a week while they toured in a drafty van, eating peanut butter sandwiches. Randy flew to New York and Los Angeles, hand-delivering their third album to every major label in America. The responses came back on identical letterhead. 26 rejections. One such note came from from Charlie Fach's desk at Mercury Records: "Dear Randy, I pass on the tape." Not even signed. Randy called a band meeting in Toronto. "We've got 26 refusals. I've sent out four more tape packages. If it doesn't happen, this Friday is the last paycheque." On a final trip to New York to sell the tapes one last time, Fred Turner, who had gone with, went for a walk. He turned a corner and a man was standing there - knife out, hand extended. "Gimme your money, please." The "please" made it more terrifying somehow. Fred handed over his cash and walked straight back to his hotel room, picked up his bass and wrote the whole thing down; a pile-driving rocker with Fred's gritty vocals and Randy's gutty, piercing guitar. They called it "Gimme Your Money Please." It became the first track on the Brave Belt III tape. Randy sent the tape to Charlie Fach at Mercury one more time, via special air messenger. The next morning, Fach called Randy at his hotel, song playing in the background. "I've just put the tape on," Fach said. "You know, if the rest of the album is like this, you've got a deal. We've been looking for a strong rock group." Mercury offered a two-album deal at $50,000 per album. Fach insisted they couldn't be called Brave Belt so Randy suggested Bachman-Turner Overdrive. They signed. Within three months of BTO I hitting stores in May 1973, Mercury had recouped its investment.

Major Lazer’s origin story is a jumbled up mess.... it reads more like a villain story. I knew about Dave (Switch) from being the weirdest and hardest dj in london.. I followed him around endlessly trying to get tips on how to produce better he taught me logic and I threw it in the garbage and learned ableton he was Interested in my local scene in philly - spank rock, amanda blank, santigold, plastic little .. and somehow M.I.A. ⊕ II II II got mixed up in the project as me and Dave were summoned by XL Recordings to make beats for her .. I failed miserably but we did make a mixtape “piracy funds terrorism” and eventually made some bangers like paper planes and bucky done gun.. and dave had a few bangers around town. Mia was always the catalyst for our side project .. we made too many beats for her . we decided to go record them in jamaica because the artists were extremely talented. the jamaican music scene at the time was cutting edge and it was cheap to work there.. we made this major lazer album down there .. and started a little movement that ended up having a few billion streams .. it’s cool to put out Where’s The Daddy now because MIA was the third daddy of major lazershow more

Epic World Cup 2026 Halftime Show: Madonna, Shakira, Justin... Bieber & BTS Deliver Madonna kicked things off in unforgettable fashion, performing her iconic 2000 hit “Music” with roller-skating dancers before dramatically emerging from a tunnel onto the field.

HALLO SPACEBOY VIDEO UPGRADE “It's confusing these days...” Hallo... Spaceboy was originally released on the 1995 1. Outside album. This version was going to be the follow up to Strangers When We Meet, even going as far as a video being filmed at the Big Twix concert in Birmingham, released as the No Trendy Réchauffé live album by Parlophone. Hallo Spaceboy was performed twice at the gig, once as part of the main set and again as the last encore. That final version was intended to be the video. Bowie had this to say of that original album version: “I adore that track. In my mind, it was like Jim Morrison meets industrial. When I heard it back, I thought, ‘Fuck me. It’s like metal Doors,’ It’s an extraordinary sound.” In the event, the song was reworked and produced by Pet Shop Boys for the single, giving Bowie a #12 hit in the UK. The chart placing was no doubt helped by a profusion of remixes and various formats (including a pink vinyl 45), not to mention the eventual David Mallet-directed official video, which featured both Bowie and the Pet Shop Boys interspersed with stock footage of all manner of interesting and slightly sinister flavours. View the restored video here: Two live songs from the Birmingham set, Moonage Daydream and Under Pressure, were used as the single’s extra tracks along with the radio edit of The Hearts Filthy Lesson. Various sources have been suggested as possible inspiration for the spoken introduction by Bowie on this version: “If I fall, moondust will cover me”, including Brion Gysin’s* last words and more likely, a line from his 1969 novel The Process: “I look for my guide to find him, too, buried in moondust.” It’s unlikely we’ll ever know for certain, but we can probably rule out the Mike & Bernie Winters 1967 comedy classic, Smother Me With Moondust And Elusive Strawberries. * Gysin was the original inventor of the cut-up method employed by both Bowie and William Burroughs. #HalloSpaceboy #BowiePetShopBoysshow more

A little fashion vibe for your feed..👠 Seedance 2.0... PROMT 📌 One-sentence story: [A dynamic storm in the backstage before a high fashion show begins: chaos, raw emotion, and aggressive preparation.] Concept: [The "meat grinder" effect. The frame is constantly filled with people. Assistants and makeup artists are blurred by movement (motion blur), while the focus is on the sharp, aggressive movements of the girls. The camera jostles and pushes through the crowd. Maximize macro detail (zippers, reflections of sweat, rough touches).] ---Scene 1 | 00-02 seconds • Location: A narrow, crowded backstage area. Yellow industrial lighting. • Action: Extreme macro: A metal zipper on a leather skirt is roughly and quickly zipped up (someone's hand appears in the frame). A sudden, sharp pullback. The scene is very crowded: three different girls are getting dressed simultaneously. A makeup artist's hand flashes around them. A girl abruptly pushes a powder brush away from her face. The camera recoils due to someone pushing in the crowd (handshake). • Audio (Sound Effects/Music): The loud metallic scraping of a zipper (ZIP-ZIP!). A sudden burst of high-speed, pulsating industrial rhythm (like an adrenaline-pumping heartbeat). A cacophony of hundreds of voices. ---Scene 2 | 02-06 seconds • Location: The makeup area (kaleidoscopic faces). • Action: A series of rapid, swaying shots between three girls. Shot 1: A girl (Asian face, wet bob) is aggressively having blood-red lipstick applied. She looks defiantly at the camera. Shot 2: Sway -> Another girl (Black, with perfectly textured skin glistening with sweat) suddenly pulls her corset tight, her chest heaving. Shot 3: Sway -> The third girl rips off her industrial hairnet, letting her perfect curls fall loose. • Audio (Sound Effects/Music): The sound of skin rubbing (SQUEAK). A deep breath (GASP). The whooshing sound of air driven by the camera (WHOOSH). Background camera flash sound (CLICK-FLASH). ---Scene 3 | 06-10 seconds • Location: Narrow corridor leading to the stage. • Action: Tracking shot. The camera moves quickly backward. A girl in a heavy, metallic dress walks straight towards us with a "power runway walk" (a very confident, predatory gait). She forcefully pushes aside a metal coat rack blocking her path. The rack flies to the side with a thud. Several other girls follow behind her, forming an aggressive wedge formation. • Audio (sound effects/music): The rhythmic click of heavy high heels on concrete (CLACK-CLACK) perfectly timed. The deafening clang of the metal coat rack (CLANG!). ---Scene 4 | 10-13 seconds • Location: Dark area in front of the runway. Heavy black curtain. • Action: Medium shot, side view. The girl approaches the curtain. Blinding white light and the flashing strobe lights of the runway shine through the gaps at the bottom. She turns her head, looks over her shoulder at the camera, a defiant, slightly manic smile on her face, clutching the fabric tightly. • Audio (Sound Effects/Music): Bass builds to a crescendo. A huge roar of a crowd comes from the other side (ROAR). The rustling of heavy velvet (SWISH). ---Scene 5 | 13-15 seconds • Location: Walking towards the light. • Action: The girl rips the curtain in half with a clean motion and steps into the blinding white light of the runway. The camera tries to follow her, but the black fabric of the curtain falls directly onto the lens, completely obscuring the view (plunging into darkness). • Audio (Sound Effects/Music): Explosions of flashes (FLASH-FLASH-FLASH). The dull thud of fabric hitting the microphone (THUD). The music cuts off abruptly at its climax. • Narration/Text: None. Final Shot: Packshot – Black screen. The signature sound (Brand Recall) is the lonely, echoing single click of a high heel (CLACK).show more

i think it’s been enough time & we can... finally address this particular discourse, and i think there’s a healthy discussion we can have about it. i genuinely think a fully traditional rendition in 2026, by artists operating at a global pop level, would have changed how the project was received internationally. there’s a very real possibility it would’ve been boxed into “world music,” treated more like cultural exhibition than a modern musical statement, keeping in mind that Arirang Album is not for 'aesthetics' nor is it a history lesson. using 808s, trap production, pop structures, and english hooks while still centering Arirang was actually a significant artistic choice. historically, Arirang was the song of ordinary people. in today’s world, pop culture/pop music is the common language. using contemporary pop to carry that sentiment to millions of listeners across countries feels very aligned with the spirit of what Arirang represented in its own time. and ‘unapologetically korean’ does not have to mean “only in korean” or “frozen in tradition.” it can also mean Korean artists having full control over how their culture is presented, modernized, exported, and understood. i also think if they had leaned entirely into historical styling and traditional presentation, western media may have reduced it to a “cultural curiosity” instead of engaging with it as a current, competitive pop release. critics likely would’ve framed it as heritage performance before artistry. i am glad they chose this route for the album.show more

i think it’s also worth mentioning, since everybody keeps... asking “Why join the show NOW, Shamea?” & acting like she had a secret agenda by S16, #RHOA was no longer a marriage-focused show. most of the women were single or divorced, couples trips were gone, the literal plot & direction of the show had changed, making it the perfect time for Shamea & Gerald bc their marriage was no longer the focus. plus Porsha had changed her mind abt Shamea joining, but that’s when she thought it was gonna be all abt HER, not expecting what would happen next… Bravo was preparing this HUGE comeback for Porsha Stewart-Williams-McKinley-Guobadia, then the Simon marriage imploded, her storyline tanked & suddenly Shamea was positioned as CENTER peach, a huge BLOW to Porsha’s ego, like damn, i lost my man AND my status on RHOA? which made Porsha feel overshadowed & highlighted her ORIGINAL reservations for not wanting Shamea on the show to begin with but by then, the girl had already officially signed on. So the off camera tension & resentment btw the two grew to where it translated ON CAMERA bc Porsha was passive aggressively taking it out on Shamea by distancing herself & talking shit abt her, regretting ever vouching for Shamea cus she only wanted her there if it meant Shamea was beneath her. So ppl keep tryna make it like Shamea always planned to come on & expose Porsha, baby no…. What Shamea thought was gonna be her first Peach holding season w/ her bestie, aint how it panned out. they werent rly filming solo scenes together bc Porsha doesnt do good with REAL, VULNERABLE confrontations so she avoided it just like she used Drew to deflect from the Simon divorce. Shamea OVER compensated for the distance by tryna prove her loyalty to Porsha by taking on ALL her beefs & Shamea grew tired of faking it for TV & Social media, like their friendship wasnt falling apart IRL. but thats just it. Porsha wasnt willing to talk abt ANY real life issues on camera like Simon n Shamea unless she got an extra check for it. Which is why Shamea ran her mouth n vented to the other cast mates in the first place & THEY brought it onto camera as getback at Shamea being a lapdog. So NO, there was never no “Takedown Porsha Plot”, it was Porsha switching up when her life threw curve balls, Shamea having to pay for it, while still tryna please her & plead for their declining friendship, which ultimately lead to her doing a full audit of everything, completely reassessing their entire friendship, & THAT is why old issues started coming up.show more

🚨 A few months back, Rory from the Rory... & Mal podcast exposed Charlamagne tha God for allegedly being on retainer with Atlantic Records for over 15 years 👀. For context, that’s the same label Cardi B is signed to. Fast forward to today Charlamagne gave Nicki Minaj “Donkey of the Day” for her back and forth with Atlantic Records rap artist, Cardi B. Here’s the issue: •Charlamagne has spent years heavily promoting the W.A.P rapper Cardi B. He’s even often bragged about having her perform at his daughter’s Sweet 16. •During today’s segment, he went directly at Nicki Minaj while ignoring all of Cardi’s history of disrespect toward Nicki not just recently, but over the years. •He also skipped over the fact that this whole situation started with Cardi bragging on X/Twitter Spaces about outselling her “opps” … only for her album sales to not reach that mark. 🤯 What’s surprising is Charlamagne, a Black man from South Carolina, continues to uplift a non Black artist who has repeatedly used Anti Black slurs, even calling Black women and their children “monkeys” and “roaches.” Cardi B herself admitted on The Breakfast Club she was working in a hood strip which sets the scene as an urban black venue. She says how she was jealous of those women making more money than her and she called them “Monkey Faced B words”. ( video below) 📌 Lastly, For those wondering what it means for a radio host to be “on retainer” by a label: It’s basically payola an under the table arrangement where a label pays a radio host (or promoter) to give their artists constant airplay and (Positive coverage). This isn’t disclosed to the public, creating a fake sense that an artist’s popularity is organic.show more
