For some fans, the arc of X-Men as mutant outsiders fighting for their right to fit in, be represented, or at best, to co-exist beside humans, feels more real than the world they live in. As such, Professor Xavierʼs never-ending struggle to mediate, guide, lead, train, shelter, and sometimes pioneer the war against injustice and suffering also resonates among fans who see themselves as outsiders.

In Charles Xavier, the Billy Jean singer saw himself while the rest of the world associated themselves with the remainder of the X-Men.
Michael Jackson Dreamt of Playing Charles Xavier in X-Men
It is inherently foolish to disregard the iconography of Michael Jackson in modern pop culture and music.

Adam Sandler and Josh Safdie’s follow-up to 2020’s Uncut Gems is still in the works, following several delays and setbacks.
Here’s a project that we’ve been reporting on for years now and whilst this story won’t confirm anything, it’s fresh news that claims that the movie is still alive. The movie in question is Josh Safdie’s untitled baseball film which will star Adam Sandler.
The project is one of interest because it will mark the pair’s next collaboration after 2020’s Uncut Gems, the nail-biting drama that was bought to us courtesy of Netflix and had audiences everywhere shifting uncomfortably in their seats for the majority of its runtime.
Last year’s strikes were the main culprit for this one not happening sooner. The film is said to focus around baseball and as such, needs to shoot during the sport’s season. Last year...

The Drake-Kendrick Lamar showdown will continue — at the 2024 BET Awards.
The rappers will compete in two categories at the June 30 show: best male hip-hop artist and best collaboration. In the latter category, Drake is nominated for “Rich Baby Daddy” with Sza and Sexyy Red, while Lamar is nominated for his guest verse on the remix of Beyoncé’s “America Has a Problem.”
Drake is the show’s top contender with seven nominations, thanks to his album For All the Dogs (Scary Hours Edition). Lamar didn’t release an album that was eligible this year.

Cole’s “First Person Shooter,” the late 2023 track that reignited his feud with Lamar.

Cardi B is makeup-free and draped in an orange, impossibly plush, queen-size blanket as she shuffles into Glenwood Place Studios in Burbank, California, around nine o’clock one evening in mid-March. Whatever hairstyle she currently has (knowing Cardi, it could be anything from a wig worth thousands to her fluffy, waist-length natural hair) is tucked under a giant bonnet, its magenta-and-teal geometric print immediately familiar from videos she’s posted on TikTok.

Megan Thee Stallion is back with a new song titled “Boa,” the third single from her upcoming album and the latest in a string of snake-themed releases.
“Boa” was first announced by Megan this past week via a number of Instagram posts teasing the single with a vintage video game aesthetic. Today, it arrives alongside a cinematic music video depicting her as the star of a fictional game titled Curse of the Serpent Woman, which is played by three friends. Over the course of the video, though, as each friend dies in-game, Megan appears in their homes and kills them Irl.
One highlight comes when she literally offs a guy by sitting on his face, leaving the imprint of her behind on his smooshed head. Of course, throughout, Megan’s verses over the LilJuMadeDaBeat-produced beat demonstrate her prowess as a lyricist and performer, and the shots of her in revealing...

The self-dubbed “Serpent Woman,” Megan Thee Stallion, has a new reptilian record: “Boa.” It follows previous singles “Hiss” (which hit Number One on the Billboard Hot 100) and “Cobra.”
“I be showing my ass, they mad huh? Bitches is bitter, they thought it was sweet,” Megan barrels out of the gate rapping, barely letting the urgent beat breathe. “All of sudden they vegan, they don’t want beef/Talking outta veneers, I’m knocking out teeth!”

Warner Music Group reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $1.5 billion, up 7 percent from a year ago, and net income of $96 million, up from $37 million a year ago. While both numbers saw a jump, the company reported earnings per share of 18 cents per share, below Wall Street expectations of 20 cents.
The bottom-line results were driven by a strong operating performance — $12 million in savings from a March 2023 restructuring plan — and the impact of exchange rates on the company’s Euro-denominated debt, which led to a gain of $21 million in the quarter compared to a loss of $20 million in the prior-year quarter.
“Our performance in the quarter was driven by an acceleration in Recorded Music subscription streaming growth and continued momentum in music publishing,” said Bryan Castellani, CFO of Warner Music. “Encouraged by the continued growth in engagement and value of music, we remain focused on delivering on our strategy and driving long-term shareholder value.

You might think Madonna‘s first album is simply overloaded with some of the Material Girls‘ best pop songs. According to the album’s producer, you’d be wrong! He said the album actually contains prophecies. Here’s what one musician had to say about the Queen of Pop.
Madonna’s producer wanted to challenge her on her 1st album
Reggie Lucas was a producer who worked with Roberta Flack and Miles Davis. He also served as the producer on Madonna’s self-titled debut album. During a 2013 interview with The Atlantic, Lucas discussed working with the Queen of Pop. “As a producer, you understood that your first job was to support people to achieve that end,” he said. “You challenged the artist just enough to bring out the best in them and introduce them to audiences that they normally wouldn’t be introduced to.

Madonna is the Queen of Pop, but that doesn’t mean that everyone is going to respect her as an artist. The writer behind “Like a Prayer” and other Madonna hits revealed what he thought of her as a person and why some singers are labeled “real artists.” He also discussed his issues with the modern music industry.
Madonna’s songwriter revealed his opinion on alleged ‘real artists’
Patrick Leonard is a songwriter who is primarily known for co-writing hits with the Queen of Pop. Leonard’s collaborations with Madonna include “La Isla Bonita,” “Like a Prayer,” “Live to Tell,” “Frozen,” and “Cherish.” You’ll be hard-pressed to find a 1980s nostalgia station that doesn’t play some of those songs.

Rapper Megan Thee Stallion, born Megan Pete, has been sued by her former cameraman, Emilio Garcia, claiming that Megan Thee Stallion created a hostile work environment and subjected him to harassment while they worked together.
According to court documents, Garcia recounted an incident in Ibiza, Spain, while on tour with the rapper in 2022. Garcia alleged that after a night out, he, Megan Thee Stallion and three other women were traveling together in an SUV when the rapper and one of the women engaged in a sexual act right beside him.
Unable to exit the vehicle in an unfamiliar country, Garcia states that he felt embarrassed, mortified and offended throughout the ordeal. The cameraman asserted that the singer later instructed him not to discuss what he had witnessed and proceeded to make fat-shaming comments towards him, referred to him as a “Fat B—-” and told him he didn’t need to eat.

Stallion played herself in the series and even shared some dance moves with lead actress Tatiana Maslany. While the executive producers of the show believed Stallion’s scene to be one of the “most important” ones in the MCU, it may turn out to be the franchise’s biggest regret.

The entertainment industry is no stranger to drama and controversy. Most recently, Megan Thee Stallion, renowned for her sassy lyrics and empowering presence, is facing allegations from a photographer who claims he got wrongfully fired. The Grammy winner and Mean Girls actress is being sued by her former personal cameraman for allegedly creating a hostile and “abusive work environment”.
It is alleged that the rapper’s former employee was forced to witness her intimate acts with another woman. Does this imply that the photographer was fired unfairly for refusing to engage in the explicit act?

Megan Thee Stallion’s former personal cameraman is taking the Grammy winner and Mean Girls actress and Roc Nation to court for creating an “intolerable” and “hostile abusive work environment.”
In a nine-claim complaint filed today in Los Angeles Superior Court, Emilio Garcia is accusing Megan Pete (Thee Stallion’s real name), her own company, her Hot Girl Touring and the Jay-Z founded entertainment platform of underpaying him, misclassifying him and causing “severe emotional distress and anxiety” due to overwork almost since the moment he started working for the “Plan” B singer in July 2018 (read the whole complaint here).
In particular, it seems an alleged explicit incident in the back of a moving car almost two years ago that proved the final straw – for all concerned:

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” just crowned America’s latest drag superstar.
The sickening Season 16 finale followed as all of this year’s competing queens returned to watch Nymphia Wind, Plane Jane and Sapphira Cristál compete for the coveted title — with Wind coming out as the winner following a dazzling lip-synch for the crown to Kylie Minogue’s hit single “Padam.” This win marks the second time an Asian drag queen has won the competition series.

Nicki Minaj held nothing back for the new “Sleeze Mix” remix of her hit, “Ftcu,” enlisting Travis Scott, Sexyy Red, and Chris Brown for the track.
The remix absolutely lives up to its sleazy billing, with all three guests delivering verses that are boisterous, graphic, and horny as hell. Sexxy Red probably delivers the tamest bars, and she’s still threatening to beat someone’s ass in the club. Meanwhile, Scott rhymed “burst,” “work,” twerk,” and “squirt,” and Brown, well, uh, yeah, his verse is definitely the most explicit, and the less said about that,...

Megan Thee Stallion says she navigated “dark times” after being shot by Tory Lanez in 2020, offering new insight this week into her recovery from the assault.
“As a Black woman, as a darker Black woman, I also feel like people expect me to take the punches, take the beating, take the lashings, and handle it with grace,” Stallion told Women’s Health. “But I’m human.”
In December 2022, Lanez was convicted of three felonies for shooting Megan, including assault with a semiautomatic firearm that left the hip-hop star with bullet fragments in her feet. During the trial, Megan faced backlash from fans and fellow artists who questioned the validity of her version of the story.
“A lot of people didn’t treat me like I was human for a long time,” Stallion recalled of the vitriol. “I feel like everybody was always used to me being the fun and happy party girl.

The “Everybody” rapper recently released a diss track about fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion titled “Big Foot” as a response to Megan Thee Stallion’s single, “Hiss.” In Minaj’s single, she mentions the interview with CBS News star Gayle King.
Fans have noticed that the lyrics in “Hiss” seem to do with Minaj, mentioning Megan’s Law, a federal law that requires information about sex offenders to be public – “These h—- don’t be mad at Megan, these h—- mad at Megan’s Law.”
Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, is registered as a sex offender.
