Tommy Lee had a painful day yesterday, he revealed on TikTok that he got his d!ck stuck in his zipper. Anyone, who has seen his sex tape, knows there is a lot to get stuck. Which is explains which zipper he got it stuck in!
Who knew the Mötley Crüe drummer was so funny? We knew he marched to the beat of his own drum, but know we know he is also his own ba-dum-tsss.
Saturday Night Live was back on our televisions yesterday, and Dr. Anthony Fauci got his dream casting. That is because Brad Pitt played him the cold open.
You know when Donald Trump finds this out, he is going to fire the medical expert due to jealously. Fauci gets a stud, and Trump got a bloated has-been dud. No offense to Alec Baldwin, but he hasn’t been a Brad Pitt since last century.
What I want to know is how this casting came about. On April 10th, Dr. Fauci told CNN’s New Day that he would prefer if Pitt played him. Thus, I want to know if Pitt called SNL or SNL called him. I am hoping for the former.
The 2020 Kids Choice Awards were slated to take place in March, but like everything else, they were postponed to a later day because of Coronavirus. Today, Nickelodeon that they have been rescheduled for May 2nd.
Nick said that “this year’s virtually produced show will reveal the winners through some of the most creative orange-blimp acceptances in KCA history.” What that means, we do not know. What we do know is that there will be slime. Would it be KCA without it? Nope!
KCA will be hosted by Victoria Justice, and they are honoring LeBron James. There will be special appearances by The Avengers, Dwayne Johnson, Ariana Grande, Kristen Bell, Josh Gad, Camila Cabello, Millie Bobby Brown, Ellen DeGeneres, BTS, Shawn Mendes, Lil Nas X, Dove Cameron, Tom Holland, and David Dobrik.
Back to the slime, JoJo Siwa’s house is going to be filled with the stuff. If it is not all over, then who cares.
Back in the late ’60s, Stephen Stills wrote a song called For What It’s Worth (Stop, Hey What’s That Sound) that was sung by Buffalo Springfield. Its message was so strong that it became an anthem for the civil rights movement and the Vietnam protests.
As time has gone, it still remains a powerful song. The meaning behind it is as strong today as it was 50 years ago. That is why Billy Porter decided to release his take on the folk song.
He updated the sound so to make it soulful, but the lyrics remain the same. They are perfect no matter what year it is.
“One of the heartening things that I’ve seen during the Coronavirus outbreak is how we’ve all banded together. Everyone doing their part, checking on each other, using technology to connect with one another,” said Porter. “I think the messages in ‘For What It’s Worth’ are so relevant now. It’s a song about unifying and coming together to make a change.”
There are four songs from that era that have left a huge impact on me. They are The Animals’ We Gotta Get Out of This Place, Crimson and Clover by Tommy James and the Shondells, Jefferson Airplane’s Somebody to Love, and this one. Therefore, I am sensitive to covers that people make for those protest songs.
When it comes to Porter’s version, I totally approve. It is a groovy take that not only got my approval, it also got the thumbs up from the writer. Stills said, “For many years no one tried to ‘make it theirs’ as covers are supposed to do. That an artist of Billy’s caliber has chosen to add his flourish to my song from so many years ago is totally in keeping with what I intended.”
Back in the ’80s, Beastie Boys took the rap scene by storm with their hit (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party). The three white teens from NYC were everywhere, but their story is not a fairytale. The surviving members, Michael Diamond and Adam Horovitz, are sharing their tale in Beastie Boys Story that is streaming now on Apple TV+.
Before they were the Beastie Boys, Diamond, Horowitz and Adam Yauch were just boys and a girl hanging out making punk rock music. Rap was still in its infancy when they started out. Then as it slowly started to gain popularity in NYC, they added it to their sound.
The three of them had the right timing and kept meeting the right people at the right time. For example, a DJ named Rick Rubin. Rubin introduced them to his friend and soon-to-be-business partner Russell Simmons. The two men were starting a label called DefJam and they wanted to sign the Boys.
Before they knew it, they were on the road with Madonna. They told the crazy story about how that happened. Then they talk about the other bands they toured with before License to Ill even came out. Once that happened, their lives were changed forever.
They created an image for themselves, and it took over their lives. They weren’t happy about who they became, so they quit and went their different ways. However, they had a contract that wouldn’t let them do that.
They worked on a second album, but it wasn’t the same. The hottest guys in rap saw their fame dwindle down to nothing. Their failure gave them the chance to be free of DefJam and find a new label.
The three of them left NY for LA, and spent money like it was water. When you do that, the well goes dry. Now, the band, who played to sold-out stadiums, were playing clubs. You know what, they loved it even more.
They got the feeling back that they had when they first started as a band. Beastie was releasing the music they wanted and not what someone else told them to do.
There were a lot of good times and some sad ones. They lost their friends and family members. However, none of them hurt as much as when they lost Adam Yauch in 2012 to cancer. When he died, so did the Beastie Boys.
Or so they thought. Diamond and Horowitz did one more tour. Instead of playing music, they did a lecture like standup, where they finally got to tell their story.
The last show was filmed by their music video director Spike Jonez. That final show is what you will see on Apple TV+ now.
Beatie Boys Story is not only about their rise to fame and fall, but it is also about everything in between. There are anecdotes like what Beastie stands for. Did you know it is an acronym? The crazy things they did on tour. Most importantly, it is about three best friends living the dream! That is something no one will ever be able to take from them.
When you watch the one-night two-hour documentary, make sure to watch it through the credits. They show a lot of home videos as the names roll down the screen.
This is a special for anyone who wants to know what it is like to be a band and living the life that comes with it. Who doesn’t want to know that? Watch it now, because you have already binged everything else.
