Dolly Parton Estate War: Her manager fired and filed restraining order against Bryan.
When there's that much money and equity at stake, it's kinda unsurprising this thing would happen, but it's still very sad. If what's being alleged about the nephew is true he sounds like a true, certifiable psycho who should probably be locked up and have his "weapons" taken away from him

Is Taylor officially creatively bankrupt?
She's a very capable songwriter and she's very cunning; I almost have to believe she's purposefully releasing slop just bc she understands she can and that ppl will gobble it up regardless. TLOAS is hands down her worst album, the deluxe version also sucks but if she gets enough people to think some of these songs are even SLIGHTLY better than the absolute dogsh!t that was on the standard edition ,she can convince enough simpletons that she's "still got it!"… of course she's still got it ! She can be a fabulous songwriter when she wants to be! TLOAS and these 4 tacky tepid ass songs feels like she's really testing just how low base and pickle juicy she can go while yall still continue to guzzle the slop and it appears evident we've yet to find the bottom of what yall will accept from her. Like at what point do the real fans truly demand better of their fave ??

Macklemore debuts Free Palestine Tour
The cynical part of me can't help but have the initial thought that , from any celebrity really , this is posturing and capitalizing on a tragedy to boost one's own profile BUT! Macklemore to his credit really does seem to walk the walk separate from just talking about it. Donating the proceeds to Palestinian aid groups is how you do it at the end of the day I do think he's genuinely a good, caring person who wants to help more than he cares about getting pats on the back

- Sombr says nepo baby claims are "incredibly insane"
I mean look … Whitney Houston was technically a nepo baby ! Her mother made a beyond decent living doing background for Aretha .. let it also be said Whitney quite obviously had the chops to earn her place in as a legend, but I'm saying that to say throughout the history of recorded music there have been plenty of artists who had wealthy parents that then went on to achieve huge success, with or without their parents financial help ! The conversation we're having about "nepo babies" is reflective of the times we live in where people are becoming more and more disillusioned with extreme wealth. And people who come from wealthy backgrounds , through no fault of their own/whether it's right or wrong, will have to field more questions about their privilege as wealth inequality continues to dominate cultural conversations ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ don't be mad at the poor people pointing out that you're rich and come from a family that afforded you access and connections that working class people did not ! Be mad at the oligarchs and corporate leeches that do everything in their power to keep people poor !- Prisonmaxxing: Clavicular allegedly charged with r@pe and drugging a minor

very sad, he seemed troubled at times. Prayers to Cindy/Kaia's family- Melissa Barrera wishes she got the same support Macklemore did
I get what you're saying but i can imagine it's also hard as an artist to see forces in the industry conspire to end your career (I don't even find acting her that impressive but that DID happen to her!) and no one seems to rally behind you for saying the unpopular thing in hollywood , and a white man voices the same sentiments , gets "cancelled" , and then gets a tidal wave of support thereafter .. like c'mon that's frustrating , but of course the focus is still on Palestine. As far as I know Melissa still uses her platform and advocates for Palestinian liberation regularly; she's doing the work on her part !- Tinashe on the genre of pop: "it's very white and it's very contrived."
The title of the thread is a little baity , and even before seeing her full quote I knew with 100% certainty she was gonna say some form of "nowadays" She's commenting on the CURRENT state of pop music, not the genre as a whole as a couple ppl in here have misinterpreted. And she's absolutely right ! She had floated in and out from so many different genres in her decade plus career but she's always had a massive pop slant for me which I've always found to be part of her appeal. Can't wait for her record , and I will say a lot of my friends that only kinda knew about Tinashe before are def checking for her now after Melatonin and Crash Out as singles- Ed Sheeran doubles down on "both sides are bad" and "i'm apolitical"

My post specified this website specifically dumbass, you really been stewing all day that you felt the need to quote a post you already disliked 12 hours earlier ? Grow up, get a hobby loser- Hasan Piker: "America [because they've killed more globally] is worse than Al-Queda"
another clip from the interview- Hasan Piker: "America [because they've killed more globally] is worse than Al-Queda"
This is just a quick lil gotcha sound bite that I'm not even sure you've come up with on your own because just today I've seen three separate tweet versions of this same sentiment , but just so we're clear: you do know that the US govt funded and provided OUR weapons to al-queda, yes ? No they don't have our numbers or military might but the damage they have caused has been , in part , by our own hands. So what does your point even really mean when we were the ones supplying them with munitions?- Hasan Piker: "America [because they've killed more globally] is worse than Al-Queda"
I do understand that, I guess I'm just bemoaning the reopening of a wound, or rather the creation of a new fresh wound that opens Abdul up to more unjust attacks , and I worry that increased fervor could hurt his prospects. I feel like I constantly have to explain that I do completely agree with much of what Hasan is saying here and a lot of his opinions in general. I oftentimes, though, think the way that he chooses to communicate (particularly tailored to his young, left oriented audience) is something that can easily get him into trouble via outdated (but still powerful) media outlets that twist his words beyond recognition , yet the damage ends up being done all the same. To me it reveals a defiant and self righteous arrogance that Hasan has , and whereas in my previous post you quoted I feel like I reiterated several times with the substance of WHAT he was saying, because it was not overtly fawning and only positive people come in with the confused emotes as if I'm critiquing his points rather than just him as the messenger… it worries me that he has his own lil cult of personality developing where a lot of people think he can do and say no wrong.- Hasan Piker: "America [because they've killed more globally] is worse than Al-Queda"
Lol- Hasan Piker: "America [because they've killed more globally] is worse than Al-Queda"
This is how I know you're just trolling bc the Vietnam war was historically unpopular even for its time lol. If you ask just about anyone today with a basic understanding of history they'd tell you Vietnam was one of the biggest blunders in US history and that no we certainly did not win the war. America has reverence for any military conflict we've engaged in, justified or not, but honoring the dead and those that sacrificed does not mean that the majority of Americans are proud or happy that we engaged with Vietnam- Hasan Piker: "America [because they've killed more globally] is worse than Al-Queda"
I fear the inverse is also true my friend; what Piker misses is that a lot of people in America are also unprecedented levels of stupid and susceptible to media manipulation. I really don't know that him agreeing to do an interview with Axios (notoriously pro-Israeli publication, at least in terms of its journalists' slant) so close to the midterm elections and give a fresh, provocative quote that will play every minute of every hour on Fox News for 6 weeks straight was the brightest of ideas. I think a big problem here is Hasan feels the need to over-intellectualize his responses so he doesn't just get regarded as a basic internet troll. WE sometimes get trapped in our own echo chambers as well; because I too both understand what he's saying and agree with the fact that the military / government of this country has done more evil globally than probably any other state entity in modern recorded history … but even in the clip that's been released so far, he treated a very important piece of what needed to be said to vindicate his opinion (the fact that "not all Americans are terrorists") as an ancillary point to his larger message that yes America is worse than Al-Queda … and when that breaches containment of the spaces that you and I likely occupy where people do understand the point he's trying to make, there's so many other spaces out there where it plays completely differently and can potentially influence voters in a negative way for parties like the democrats or the DSA. Moreover, I think at this point as much as he says he doesn't want to be the story, I can't fathom why he'd do this interview if he doesn't at least get a kick out of it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ no matter how right his opinion is, I think this was a pretty piss poor decision on his part. - Sombr says nepo baby claims are "incredibly insane"
