We know Daenerys is on a mission to regain the Iron Throne, and we think she’s totally capable. But we also think Arya Stark has a real shot at being queen too. She’s a warrior. She’s been knocked down so many times but she always keeps fighting. We’d gladly live under her rule. Here are some reasons why we all need to bow down to Arya: 1. She knows how […]
Black Widow gets all the headlines. Marvel’s resident super-assassin has had her honor besmirched twice now by Jeremy Renner; she’s still suffering from an extreme lack of merchandise compared to her fellow Avengers; and most importantly, she still hasn’t gotten her own standalone Marvel movie. But we have a suggestion that might avoid all of these controversies: Give Black Widow’s mystical counterpart and the newest Avenger, the Scarlet Witch, her […]
Historical, musical, and quantitative evidence shows that the rise of rap is the most important thing that has ever happened to the genre. On June 22, 1991, Billboard announced a new album had surpassed Out of Time, by R.E.M., to become the most popular in the country. It was Niggaz4life, by N.W.A., which had debuted the previous week at number 2 and sold nearly a million copies in its first […]
If you had any doubt that Blue Ivy is a mini-me version of Beyoncé, this recent Instagram should clear things up. Bey, who’s celebrating her fourth Mother’s Day as a mommy, shared two side-by-side photos: one throwback to the ’80s in which she’s standing with her mom, Tina Knowles, and a second where she’s with Blue. The similarities between the two are only accentuated by the fact that they’re sporting similar hairstyles, […]
JJ Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens is only seven months away from cinemas, and despite the film-maker’s reputation for holding his cards close to his chest, details are beginning to emerge. Thanks to the magic of the internet (and the magazine’s own leaks) we’d learned from the new issue of Vanity Fair thatLupita Nyongo’o plays a CGI pirate, Adam Driver is weird, lightsaber-wielding villain Kylo Ren, and JJ Abrams […]
LG's new flagship phone, the G4 packs in amazing specs to a body that's equally astounding — though perhaps for different reasons. We got our hands on one of the very first G4s, trying out the crisp and bright camera and super fast processor, as well as more important features like gesture-activated beautifying selfies. The phone is ready to take on the best of its competitors — the iPhone 6, […]
It's on. It seems like things have gotten frosty between Zayn Malik and his former One Direction bandmates. On Wednesday, following a few snarky exchanges between Louis Tomlinsonand Malik's friend, British music producer Naughty Boy, Malik fired back himself. "Remember when you had a life and stopped making bitchy comments about mine?" wrote Malik, 22, in a Tweet directed at Tomlinson. It all started when Naughty Boy, 30, Tweeted […]
... but it's trying to move on! Taylor Swift may have gotten her start in country music, but she made it pretty darn clear in the lead-up to the release of her blockbuster album 1989 that she considers herself a pop artist these days. “I don’t really think people were surprised I made a pop album,” she admitted to HITS. “I think they were surprised I was honest about it.” Swift’s […]
Warning: This post contains spoilers for both Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ex Machina. As luck would have it, theaters are currently screening two separate movies in which a soft-spoken nerd and a guy with weird facial hair explore the risks of artificial intelligence. The first is Avengers: Age of Ultron, a film you might have heard of. The second is Alex Garland's fantastic Ex Machina, the story of office drone Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson), who's […]
