With weekend two of Coachella kicking off today, this year’s lineup of artists will be returning to treat a mostly-new batch of fans to all their favorite songs. However, it’s not the same festival if the headliners don’t have any surprises in store. Last week, the three main acts, Lana Del Rey, Doja Cat, and Tyler The Creator, brought out several special guests to perform with them, raising questions if they’ll be changing the people and the setlists up.
Given Del Rey is close with Taylor Swift, there has specifically been speculation online that she very well could bring the pop ..read more

We’re coming up on 4/20. And look, regardless of whether you plan on partaking in the great stoner holiday or not, if you smoke weed recreationally and anyone knows this about you, they’re going to assume you’re psyched to roll up (or vape, or eat). So you might as well just give in.
Sure, people don’t make as big a deal of 4/20 as say, a decade ago. But the date is still shorthand for getting high — which makes it worth celebrating in our book!
To help you to have a truly lit 4/20, we’re shouting out some of our favorite flower jars, vapes, and edibles. For the most part, I’ve stuck to ..read more

No 4/20 weekend (that’s right we’re going to go ahead and extend it to the full weekend) is complete without two things: great weed, and delicious food. The two go hand in hand, you take a drag — bong hit, edible, dab, however you partake — enjoy the ride and eventually you’re hit with the munchies. And as with sex, deep and relaxing sleep, or travel, food is way better when you’re high.
Being lit allows you to hyper-focus on those nuanced flavor details, it allows you to get lost in the sensations of taste — I say this as a person who has been super high, eaten a strawberry, and then g ..read more

Today (April 19) is of course all about Taylor Swift, as the music landscape has focused pretty much exclusively on her new album, The Tortured Poets Department. Today has actually been pretty good for hip-hop, too, though: Drake officially released his Kendrick Lamar diss track, and Nas has a lot going on.
April 19 marks the 30th anniversary of Nas’ iconic Illmatic album, and Nas is celebrating in a few different ways. First, he and DJ Premiere — who produced “NY State Of Mind,” “Represent,” and “Memory Lane (Sittin’ In Da Park)” from Illmatic shared a new song, “Define My Name.” The song, i ..read more

As George Miller prepares to unleash his highly-anticipated prequel, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, some fans have been concerned that the new film starring Anya Taylor-Joy might not match the same technical level as Mad Max: Fury Road.
Well, worry no more.
According to the latest issue of Total Film, Furiosa reportedly includes a 15-minute action sequence called the “Stairway to Nowhere” that took 78 days to shoot. That’s over two months, and much like the wildly intricate stunt work on Fury Road, the sequence involved the use of nearly 200 stunt people every single day.
“George and I w ..read more

Natasha Bedingfield got a Kate Bush on Stranger Things-like bump in popularity when her 2004 adult contemporary classic “Unwritten” was played in Anyone But You. Not just once, either, but multiple times, including over the end credits. (Cast sing-alongs as the credits roll? Rom-coms are back.) “Unwritten” still must mean a lot to Anyone But You star Sydney Sweeney, as she recently sang it at karaoke while dressed as a pirate.
“what’s a pirates favorite letter?” the actress wrote on Instagram, along with photos where she’s at sea with a bunch of other people dressed as buccaneers (and one ..read more

After meeting on the set of the recent batch of Spider-Man films, Zendaya and Tom Holland mostly kept their relationship under wraps despite occasionally being photographed in public together. That still didn’t stop a rampant bout of engagement rumors, but more recently, the two have been less clandestine about being together.
Case in point, Zendaya stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday night where the actress opened up about a brush with the law while she and Holland were out and about. However, if you’re not a fan of celebrities getting special treatment from the police, you ..read more

The Western Conference playoffs always seem to be a war of attrition, and this year, it sure looks like we’re slated to have that happen again. With seven teams already decided and an eighth up in the air until Friday night, it’s difficult to pick which team will be able to navigate things and earn a berth in the NBA Finals. Yes, Denver are the favorites to do so as the defending champions, but all it takes is one or two games where they aren’t quite at their best to open the door for someone else to pounce through.
As such, we decided to look at the most important pla ..read more

Zac Efron went so hard to mold his physique for The Iron Claw that he made Jeremy Allen White wonder whether if he should even bother, since Zac swiftly became the jacked king of the set. However, White wasn’t exactly hurting in the thirst department due to both The Bear and those Calvin Klein photos.
The pair portrayed two of the four central Von Erich brothers in the A24 film, which probably should have stirred up a Best Actor nomination for Efron, who crushed the performance of the only brother still alive. If you missed the film in theaters, do not despair.
When Does ‘The Iron Claw’ Ar ..read more
