VIDEO: Stranger Things’ Finn Wolfhard Plays River Cuomo in Weezer’s “Take On Me” Cover Video

Alex Firer

In between seasons of Stranger Things, when they're done battling the demigorgons for a few seasons, they're off doing strange cameos in unexpected place. We had Dustin show up in the Katy Perry "Swish Swish" video, and now we have Finn Wolfhard playing a teenage Rivers Cuomo in the nostalgia tinged video for Weezer's cover of A-Ha's "Take On Me" from their recently released "Teal Album". The Teal Album is a collection of so unironic they're ironic again covers of hit classic songs (started by the long and arduous internet campaign to get Weezer to cover Toto's "Africa", which they eventually did), and while the end results are a decidedly mixed kind of thing, the nostalgic video, starring Finn Wolfhard and his band, Calpurnica, is an absolute joy mixing a nostalgic 80's vibe with a parody of the original "Take On Me" video, along with the joy that these four musicians brought to the entire thing.

Nicki Minaj Drops Out Of BET Tour Due To Joke About Her On Social Media

Alex Firer

Was social media a mistake? I mean, for the man on the street, it's a wonderful way to quickly dash off a comment about the latest garbage going ons, but even then, it's Russian Roulette as we make sure we don't Tweet out the thing that reveal the personal ignorance we've had all along, and are then flayed on the coals for not having the social awareness that everyone else got five minutes before you did, more or less. Or they've always had it. Either way, Twitter is dangerous for the man on the street, but that goes double if you're some random brand out there, just trying to pay its bills, with a human being working them who is trying to pay their bills too. Case in point: Nicki Minaj has dropped out of the BET Experience Tour following a Tweet referencing her now publicly buried feud with Nicki Minaj, saying: “Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is being dragged by her lacefront.”

2019 Grammy Winners Include Lady Gaga, Childish Gambino, Greta Van Fleet For Some Reason

The Grammys are winding up and the winners include some of our favorites. Lady Gaga won for "Best Pop Solo Performance" and "Best Song Written for Visual Media", both for that historic movie super song, "A Star is Born"'s "The Shallow". It's great, and we're happy to hear that one of the year's best songs get the honors it so richly deserves as Lady Gaga continues to complete the letters around her EGOT necklace, with maybe a Disney musical in the future to make that EGOT a victory lap.

Ellen Page called out the hypocrisy of Stephen Colbert on The Late Show not asking Pratt about his place in the church. (Again, only a few weeks after Page herself made headlines for a beautiful, heartfelt plea for a lack of hate in our leadership when discussing Mike and Karen Pence's homophobia, and the hateful attack on Jussie Smollett). The church's homophobia was covered in an article from Lea Ceasrine, who left the church, and wrote in her op-ed titled: "WHY I LEFT HILLSONG, JUSTIN BIEBER'S BELOVED EVANGELICAL CHURCH, writing about the church's leader, Brian Houston, saying that he opposed gay marriage, and writing.

Now, ten years later, Chris Brown has been arrested in Paris, France under accusation of rape. He is being held with three other people for aggravated rape and drug violations in Paris.

Sony Drops R. Kelly In Light Of… You Know

Alex Firer

The R. Kelly documentary, Surviving R. Kelly, has dropped a lot of troubling questions. Amongst those were how did R. Kelly get away with this for so long? What are out next steps in terms of getting justice for his victims? And, most strangely of all, why is he still signed on to Sony!? He doesn't even release new music, really. Not in a way that justifies keeping a man accused of countless of acts of rape and pedophilia on contract. Well, earlier today Sony very quietly parted ways with Kelly in a manner that won't be given much publicity from Sony, but is getting a lot of mainstream press, removing R. Kelly from the RCA Records website, according to Variety, on a list which shows which artists the label is representing.

In an earlier entry we've covered her incredible knowledge of the New Deal policies of FDR and love of Bernie Sanders (with her iconic quote, "Vote for Daddy Bernie, Bitch!", which I believe would have made an incredible campaign slogan for the beloved leftist politician), but now the rapper and newly crowned twerk artist (Twerktist?) has made another splash in the political field with her Instagram video of her calling for an end to the government shutdown currently robbing thousands of government employees of their paychecks.

R. Kelly’s Daughter Speaks Out Against R. Kelly, Sides With Victims

Alex Firer

One of the most striking stories from "Surviving R. Kelly", the documentary that puts R. Kelly's crimes into a damning light by giving them all to us without the spin of the media, or the manipulation the R+B singer usually enters into the mix. While normally R. Kelly's crimes somehow continue to slide on, be forgotten, or go unpunished, this time around people's perception around the accused child rapist as an accused child rapist seem to stick. The documentary showed a lot of sickening footage, and a lot of sickening stories, and one of the more memorable ones was R. Kelly's then wife, Andrea Kelly, being swept away in the night while pregnant, almost experiencing a miscarriage, and seeing footage of R. Kelly being arrested for filming child pornography as she held her newborn baby in the hospital. R. Kelly's monstrosities extended to his family, and his estranged daughter, Buku Abi, has went on Instagram to speak out against her father.

John Legend On Appearing on Surviving R. Kelly: ” I Don’t give a F**k About Protecting a Child Rapist”

Yesterday saw the premiere of "Surviving R. Kelly", a damning documentary showing R. Kelly's endless acts of statutory rape, and his history of dating and raping girls as young as twelve years old. The documentary discussed his abusive control of the women, Aliyah forging her documents to make herself seem 18 when she was 16 to marry R. Kelly, and his constant production of sex tapes starring 14 year old girls. You know, child pornography. Four more parts of the documentary are forthcoming, but one thing making headlines is the amount of celebrities who refused to appear in the documentary due to the "messiness of the situation", whatever the hell that means in the context of saying you don't like a child rapist.

AUDIO: Barack Obama Appears on Final Hamilton Drop – ‘One Last Time (44 Remix)’

Alex Firer

Hamilton continues to go from being the most exciting work of art in modern culture to slowly being grandfathered in to one of the peak examples of art in this weird, specific time period. Something similar is happening to the canonization of Barack Obama. As his presidency goes further to the past as it makes way for America's terrifying and uncertain future under the current administration, many aspects of Barack Obama's presidency are being evaluated and re-evaluated. The good (health care, general optimism, being a wonderful representation of the best of this country) and bad (a lot of drone strikes, shockingly massive amount of immigration deportations) is being looked at in a fair light. This makes the small piece that Obama speaks on the new Hamilton track, "One Last Time (44 Remix)".

Soulja Boy Selling Weird, Questionably Legal, Video Game System

Alex Firer

Soulja Boy is getting into the gaming business, with all the confident verve and panache of a man trying to sell you a bootleg DVD in New York City in 2004. Shortly after revealing the SouljaWatch, Soulja Boy has released two sketchy as heck, but apparently real, video game systems you can buy from his store -- the Soulja Game Console, and the Soulja Game Handheld, both of which look remarkably close to the Wii U, Nintendo's most unsuccessful console, so maybe we can't really blame him for thinking he can get away with it.

Ariana Grande Asks Fans To Stop Harassing Pete Davidson in Snapchat Story

Alex Firer

We live in a strange era, where the creators of your favorite music and movies and whatnot have to absolutely beg their fans not to destroy the lives of whomever the heck is making their favorite thing, so now does Pete Davidson have to announce to fans: I uhh... I won't kill myself. Because apparently that's what Ariana Grande's fans wanted for him? Which in my opinion is low key rude. Asking someone to die? Straight up... I'm going to say it... impolite! In any case, Ariana Grande joined the chorus to say that... yeah, it is rude to ask for people to die. Not polite in the least, in a message on Snapchat, which we've posted an image of below.
