J. Cole Remixes Maroon 5′s ‘Animals’: Listen

by 12 mins ago

This weekend marked the third anniversary of J. Cole’s debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story. To commemorate that occasion, he could have dropped the lead single to his upcoming third album. Alas, that didn’t happen. But on Monday (September 29), we did get some new Cole bars, as he hopped on the remix of Maroon 5′s “Animals.”

“This is pain, this is love/ This is sent from above/ This a gift from the Gods/ This was meant to be,” the North Carolina native raps to kickstart his part. For the rest of the verse — which clocks in at just 30 seconds, leaving you wanting plenty more — Jermaine speaks of a love lost, but not quite gone. “I hope your new man don’t mind, girl you’re mine forever,” he spits to close.

Maroon 5 also dropped the official video for “Animals” on Monday, which finds lead singer Adam Levine getting bloodied and obsessed and in love.

The remix seems to be a sign that Cole is in the studio, at least, so hopefully that new single is on the way soon.

Amanda Bynes Arrested For DUI Again

by 1 min ago

Amanda Bynes was arrested in Los Angeles on Sunday and charged with driving under the influence. She has since been released on bail.

Records from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department show that California Highway Patrol officers took the 28-year-old actress into custody at 4:10 a.m. PT. to the LAPD’s Valley Jail, also known as Van Nuys Station, where she was booked on a misdemeanor DUI.

Bynes had been living in California with her parents, who were granted temporary conservatorship over their daughter, following a series of run-ins with the law. TMZ reports that the conservatorship ended earlier this month, and that she’s been living in an Orange County apartment ever since. A source told the tabloid site that “things started going haywire” after the termination of the conservatorship.

Although records from the LAPD show that Bynes was assigned permanent housing at 7:06 a.m., she was released on $15,000 bail a few hours later at 12:44 p.m.

The star of “Hairspray” and “Easy A” is due in Van Nuys Municipal Court on October 23.

Bynes has largely stayed out of the public eye following a string of much-publicized personal and legal troubles. Those events included a misdemeanor DUI, alleged hit-and-run and driving with a suspended license, plus an arrest for tossing a glass bong out of her New York apartment building and smoking marijuana in the lobby. Bynes also notably exhibited very

Here’s Proof That Nicki Minaj Is Such A Tease

by 6 mins ago

No one knows how to tease us better than Nicki Minaj. Sometimes we actually can’t tell if she’s even teasing us, or if we’re just looking for more than there is.

She definitely teased her Barbz before she dropped her “Pills N Potions” video, and when she rapped about The Pink Print cover art on Wiz Khalifa’s “True Colors,” and again when she taught models how to “Anaconda” dance backstage at NYFW.

The latest examples are these very, er, voluptuous Instagram posts that she shared early on Monday morning (September 29). In both captions she thanks “Oscar” for that lovely wig she’s wearing, but are the photos really meant to show off that bob-cut wig? There’s so much more that catches the eye in these photos.

Anyway, what’s the new ‘do for? Are we getting another video from The Pink Print soon? Because she set the bar pretty high with that “Anaconda” video. (Which, apparently, she doesn’t think is that sexy).

Here’s What An ‘Are You The One?’ Dream Wedding Might Look Like

by 15 mins ago

As we gear up for tonight’s “Are You The One?” reunion special (celebratory Oreos and wine coolers await!), we can’t help but look back on the last special that aired…and ended with one awww-worthy surprise engagement between Ethan and Amber.

The couple has barely had a moment to rest since they were one of the first successful matches last season, and life won’t be slowing down anytime soon as they enter parenthood. With Amber due in December, the pair recently decided to alter their wedding plans, telling Us Weekly, “We were planning on getting married Spring 2015; however, after having our little miracle, it felt somewhat selfish to be budgeting for a wedding. We decided on having a small, private wedding this fall but also plan to throw a big wedding sometime next year with our baby.”

Babies and nuptials, oh my! We. Can’t. Wait. Until then, we’re gonna let our imaginations run wild with what the first (of hopefully many) “Are You The One?” unions might look like:

The venue

The duo would no doubt get hitched on a beach in Hawaii! It’s where they met, after all.

As soon as the officiant says, “I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Diamond,” 10 beams of light would shine brightly behind the couple because…obvi.

Walmart Says Tracy Morgan Should Have Worn A Seatbelt During Crash

by 6 mins ago

It’s been nearly four months since a six-car accident on the Jersey Turnpike left one man dead and comedian Tracy Morgan in critical condition, and now the courtroom battle over who is at fault is heating up.

Attorneys representing Morgan and three others injured in the crash questioned whether Walmart should have known that their driver Kevin Roper was “fatigued” when he caused the pile-up.

On Monday, the company responded, according to The Hollywood Reporter, with nine affirmative defenses, including that Morgan’s injuries “were caused, in whole or in part, by plaintiffs’ failure to properly wear an appropriate available seatbelt restraint device.”

Essentially, among several of Walmart’s defenses that they are not at fault was the claim that Morgan and the others in the party bus wouldn’t have been hurt, as badly or at all, if they had been wearing seatbelts.

It’s still early in the suit, so many of the details about the crash are still under wraps, but that is likely to change as the proceedings move forward.

Magic Michael Strahan Joins ‘Magic Mike XXL’

by 7 mins ago

Just call him Magic Michael Strahan, because the former NFL champ and current “Live with Kelly and Michael” co-host will be taking it all (or most of it, at least) off in “Magic Mike XXL,” the sequel to the 2012 stripper saga “Magic Mike.”

Strahan announced the news today (September 29) on his show, saying he was “nervous” about taking the role alongside Channing Tatum. The sequel will have a total lack of Matthew McConaughey’s big-mouthed emcee Dallas, and is already in production.

Strahan speculated aloud about whether he’d have to undergo any follicular preparations for the role, for which he said he’ll be outfitted in, “kind of a thong thing.”

“I don’t think I’m hairy on the back end, but maybe I do need to be waxed,” Strahan said. “I’ve never done anything like that.”

Director Greg Jacobs and Tatum have both noted that “Magic Mike XXL” will be something of a road trip movie. No word yet on whether the roving band of strippers plans to travel by “Pony.”

“Magic Mike XXL” gyrates into theaters July 1, 2015.

One Direction’s ‘Steal My Girl’ Is Giving Directioners And Moms ‘Fangirl Attacks’

by 14 mins ago

By now, you’ve listened to One Direction’s “Steal My Girl” no less than 50 times, memorized each and every lyric and possibly fainted over the excitement that the guys have released their first single off their fourth album.

Basically, Monday (September 29) was a big day.

Directioners are absolutely loving the guys’ “feel good” 80′s vibe of a song, which has us all wishing that we were their “queen since we were 16,” but that’s OK because “we dream the same dreams.” Am I right?

Fans instantly took to Twitter to share their reactions of the Four track, with many saying it’s positively “perfect,” while others have developed a severe addiction.

Unfortunately for many teachers around the world, the song was released during school hours, meaning that pretty much no one was concentrating on math problems and history lessons.

Naturally, fans are freaking out over Zayns high note.

And moms are pretty much obsessed too.

9 Other ‘Key & Peele’ Sketch That Should Be Movies

by 15 mins ago

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are developing their Substitute Teacher sketch as a feature film with Paramount, which is objectively great news, since the pair is never not funny. But because “Key & Peele” is such a cinematic-looking show, the possibilities for other sketch adaptations is pretty much endless.

As psyched as I am to see Substitute Teacher maybe coming to the big screen, these are the other “Key & Peele” sketches that would make great movies.

1. Suburban Zombies

Even after years of being the trendy monster on the block, zombie stills are everywhere, and a Key and Peele parody might actually be enough to get me interested again.

2. Power Falcons

The Power Rangers are set for a reboot in 2016, so now seems like the perfect time to green light this even-more-racist knock-off.

3. Lando’s Fan

If you ask me, Lando’s standalone “Star Wars” spin-off already has a perfect trailer.

4. LMFAO’s Non-Stop Party

Elevator pitch: It’s like “Groundhog Day” meets “The Twilight Zone.” Also, it stars Redfoo and Sky Blu.

5. Post-Apocalyptic Hunt

Change the ending of this highly stylized sketch, and you have a perfect End of Days buddy comedy.

6. Slow Brotion

Could they stretch this joke out for 90 minutes? Probably not, but I’d like to see them try.

7. Damn, Check That S**t Out

Key’s character runs straight into the office of new president Bill Clinton, and suddenly, we have the start of a great ’90s-set sci-fi flick.

8. Twilight Gangsters

There’s so much in the lives of these two Twihards ...
