When The Prodigy’s The Fat of the Land became an unexpected smash during the late-’90s electronica boom, its combination of rave-worthy beats and punk-squat aggression seemed like an oddity in an otherwise blissed-out dance music scene. Nearly 20 years later, the album’s legacy runs deep throughout contemporary EDM that’s run wild with producer Liam Howlett’s fixation on distorted sounds and neck-snapping rhythms. The group’s stayed active since then, even if the albums they were releasing didn’t have the same seismic effect on the zeitgeist.

What were you doing last night? Were you watching the country’s biggest recording artists perform on one stage? Or did you turn the dial to the Bachelor Wedding to watch Born-Again-Sean take Quirky Catherine as his lawfully wedded wife? Maybe you were catching up on some personal work, doing some light filing. Not me. I’ve got my priorities way in line. I was watching a bunch of grown ass men and women in satin robes and corsets go after each other like they were starring in Mortal Combat: Pajama Party.

I wonder if Allison Dubois pulled Camille aside halfway through the season and told her friend that she’d had a vision. It was a startling one as it did not involve a child’s abduction. Instead she was being plagued by flashes of unflattering red carpet photos of Camille and her angry breasts beneath unflattering headlines of deeply uncool behavior. I’m not sure what else can account for Camille’s sudden personality shift.

Last week, we were blessed with baby's first group trip, but this week we got a Housewives rite of passage even more vital to any franchise: baby's first hypnotist. The baby in question is, of course, freshman franchise The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and the Housewives hypnotist in question is Kimberly: a hypnotist so successful that she has a mansion in Las Vegas, and apparently can pay whatever price tag comes with making a headful of extensions out of Connie Britton's famous strawberry locks.

Thebe Kgositsile can't sit still. During a recent video call from his home in the Mid-City neighborhood of Los Angeles, the rapper-producer known as Earl Sweatshirt is pacing nonstop, walking from room to room, trying to go about his day. His partner is headed out for a bite; before she leaves, he puts in his order, an In-N-Out double-double with lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mustard with a chocolate shake on the side.

Last night marked the return of Flipping Out, the reality show that ostensibly about renovating homes — but is clearly about star Jeff’s obsessive compulsions and the kooky staff who are simultaneously nutcases and saints to put up with him. To mark a fourth round of the bonkers that’s to come, I present you with the top five craziest moments from last night’s premiere: 5. Sarah, an executive assistant, thought she was actually Jeff’s executive business partner: “We haven’t really discussed what an executive business partner is.

The first few episodes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power introduce a whole fellowship of new faces. Some — like Morfydd Clark's Galadriel or Robert Aramayo's Elrond — will be familiar to book readers or fans of Peter Jackson's film trilogy. Others are entirely new inventions, dwarves and elves and men crafted to help flesh out the show's rich mythology. And then there are characters like Elendil.

Dwayne Johnson is filming Central Intelligence with Kevin Hart and Aaron Paul in Massachusetts at the moment, and while driving to the set the set last month, he accidentally sideswiped a parked car and busted up its mirror. What happened next? Let Johnson explain. “First thing I thought was, ‘Aw sh-t… someone’s not gonna be happy…’ I flipped a U-turn and drove back to scene,” Johnson wrote on Instagram. “Just as I got out of my truck a guy was walking across the street to his truck.

The Roots at N.Y.’s Radio City Music Hall The Roots Radio City Music Hall, New York City May 18, 2006 Fourteen years into their career, Philadelphia’s the Roots are still Hip-Hop’s Best Live Band. The title comes largely by default. Though each of the group’s skilled members has chops for days — usually proven by way of endless jam-band solos in concert — in the two-turntables-and-a-microphone world of rap, their seemingly distinguished designation can be underwhelming, akin to The World’s Best Prop Comedian, or The Fastest Octogenarian On Earth.
