Jack White marries at Detroit concert

Jack White is like the president of alternative music and thus his wedding belongs to all of us.  So that might explain why we all got to see it. Jack was at the Masonic Temple Theatre in Detroit while performing the White Stripes' 2001 single "Hotel Yorba" when he suddenly proposed to his girlfriend, Olivia Jean. Just a few minutes later, after the set concluded, White and Jean re-emerged for an encore with their families, surprising the crowd with a makeshift wedding ceremony officiated ...

The Simpsons Featuring First Deaf Voice Actor

Sunday's upcoming episode of the long-running cartoon, titled "...

Colin Kaepernick releases childrens book

Colin Kaepernick is one of my personal heroes.  Besides, IMO, being the catalyst for a world wide movement hell bent on making humanity equal, he did so by risking everything.  He also did so by means of passive/peaceful protest. Meaning he harmed NO ONE. So who better to pass on wisdom to the next gen than a man with a clear focus on right and wrong. In a new autobiographical book, he remembers kids asking, "Why are you the only brown one in your family?" and "Why did you color yourself different?" Kaepernick, who is biracial and adopted by White parents, drew them in yellow crayon and himself in brown. Kaep teamed up with illustrator Eric Wilkerson to make the book to help convey the feel of the story. "Every scene that he was in, I wanted there to be this warm, happy color around him," Wilkerson said, adding that Kaepernick was involved in "every stage" of the project. "It is his story. This is an event that happened in his life," Wilkerson said. I could honestly cry. This book is so sweet.

We mean MASSIVE.  Mark built this giant 30,000+ square foot behemoth back in 2014 for his family and he didn't spare a thing.

Grammys Producers shade Virgil Abloh in memoriam

I'm not sure how I missed this, but it's come to my attention that the asshats running the Grammys list the great Virgil Abloh as a "Hip Hop Fashion Designer" during Sunday's ceremony. Let me be very clear. Virgil Abloh sat at the top of the designing world has the creative director of Louis Vuitton. This is the most coveted job in fashion and pigeonholing Virgil as a designer of hip hop wear or something like that is an insult. Luxury clothing like LV may be a symbol in the hip hop...

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker Marry

Kourtney's rise to most reported on Kardashian of 2022 is holding strong as she and Travis have apparently run off to Vegas and gotten married. According to TMZ: Kourtney and Travis walked into a Vegas chapel around 1:30 AM Monday ... only hours after he performed live at the Grammys. We're told the two didn't allow the venue to take any photos, bringing their own photographer and security instead. Although we still don't know if those photogs included video for the show, which is why I assume the Kardashians do anything, so I guess we'll have to wait and see. No word on where they'll honeymoon although life is a honeymoon for those two.
