What if Final Fantasy, but a kart racer? This has been done before, with Chocobo Racing on the PlayStation, but it’s receiving a sort of sequel sort of reboot with Chocobo GP on the Switch. Chocobo GP is a kart racing game and that means it’s going to have everything we expect out of that genre such as randomized items, drifting, and the potential to go from worst to first in a matter of moments. These are always fantastic party games because the wacky nature of them lets gamers of any skill level feel like they’re on an equal playing field.
We now at least know when this game is going to be coming out! On March 10, 2022, we’ll all have a new party game on our hands with Chocobo Racing GP. We’re curious to see how it will stack up against other kart racers including the dominant one, Mario Kart. That said, a niche community may be able to form around it and keep the game going even if it never gets as popular as the Mario Kart games of the world.

After getting turned around by Fox, Warner Bros. TV has successfully found a new, and unlikely, home on Disney+ for Our Time, a drama series centered on a re-enactment of the ’80s classic The Goonies. Despite WarnerMedia having its own streaming service in the form of HBO Max, The Donner Company and Amblin Entertainment felt Disney+ was a perfect fit for the show from The Bold Type creator Sarah Watson.
“Sarah worked nonstop to deliver this incredible script, we had our table read, and then the world shut down for COVID,” Warner Bros. TV executive VP Clancy Collins White told Variety. “So we came back many months later and finished the beautiful pilot, and it was an incredible cast, but unfortunately a little bit too young for Fox. And so we immediately swung into high gear and hit the town with it.”
With Disney+ now on board, here’s the official synopsis for the series:
Stella Cooper returns to her distressed automotive hometown to substitute teach after failing to make it in New York and carrying a heavy secret. She finds inspiration, hope, and ultimately salvation when she agrees to help three students who are pursuing their filmmaking dreams by putting on an impossibly ambitious shot-for-shot remake of one of the student’s favorite movies, “The Goonies.”
To be clear, Our Time is not the long-awaited The Goonies sequel that people have been hoping for, but if the show takes off on Disney+, it could get the ball rolling before the only plausible plot is Mikey and the Gang hunting for buried treasure at the senior center.
Before these algorithms started ruling our lives, Pandora’s thumbs up (or down) was the OG playlist algorithm tweaker. The very concept of the Music Genome Project was mind-blowing before streaming services and their playlists took over the music industry. And now, Cardi B, can declare herself the Queen of said Genome for the second year in a row.
“Up” by Cardi B is officially the most thumbed track of the year on Pandora’s “Top Thumb Hundred List of 2021.” That means more users gave the song the thumbs up, thus juicing its appearances on playlists above any other track this year. Last year, Cardi’s “Wap” featuring Megan Thee Stallion topped the list and in 2021, Cardi shows up twice in the Top 20, along with her featured verse on Normani’s “Wild Side”, the #18 most thumbed song of 2021.
Silk Sonic’s “Leave The Door Open” was #2 this year and Adele’s “Easy On Me” was #3. Drake led all artists with nine songs on the list and he had four in the top 20.
Peep the 20 most-thumbed tracks of the year below and the full Top Thumb Hundred playlist here.
1. Cardi B — “Up”
2. Silk Sonic — “Leave The Door Open”
3. Adele — “Easy On Me”
4. Walker Hayes — “Fancy Like”

Some of the artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
The Hand Of God (Netflix film) — Academy Award winner Paulo Sorrentino (The Young Pope) returns to HBO with this story of tragedy and unexpected joys, along with how fates intertwine. Sorrentino’s telling this story from his own hometown (Naples), so expect a deeply personal (and of course, beautiful) story, even though ultimately, it’s a story about young Fabietto Schisa and the arrival of a football legend on the scene.
Foodtastic: Season 1 (Disney+ series) — This reality cooking show will blow (at least) a few minds with contestants concocting enormous food sculptures in an effort to push their creative limits for all the foodies out there.
Selling Tampa: Season 1 (Netflix series) — Florida real estate takes center stage when an all Black, all female real estate firm decides to take charge of the Suncoast. Ambitions will run wild with everyone competing to broker the most lavish waterfront homes of all. Live (vicariously) a little.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (FXX, 10:00 & 10:30pm) — The Gang officially heads to Dublin for an “authentic” experience, but of course, things get dirty, both figuratively and literally. In the meantime, Dennis and Dee attempt to enjoy the countryside while Charlie’s hoping to find his Irish pen pal. Oh, and Mac’s having an identity crisis.
Hawkeye: Season 1 (Disney+ series) — The MCU is in holiday mood for this series, which begins to pass the arrow from Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton to Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop, and Steinfeld is freaking fantastic, but everything has changed after Yelena’s arrival in the final moments of last week’s episode. Watch out, Clint.
The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon — Penelope Cruz, Kid Cudi, Joanna Stern
Welcome To Earth (Nat Geo and Disney+ limited series) — Darren Aronofsky produces and Will Smith stars in this extraordinary global adventure that will remind everyone that there’s plenty of surfaces on Earth that humans have barely noticed as of yet. The show takes adventures to silently roaring volcanoes and journeys into morphing deserts and highlights all of the breathtaking moments that nature has to offer. Maybe, just maybe, Will’s sense of awe and palpable enthusiasm will take your mind away from all of those horror stories that he’s been relaying on the promotional trail. One can only hope, and maybe we’ll see some Independence Day jokes, too.
Although Eminem‘s daughter Hailie is the one who usually gets most of the attention in connection with her famous dad (owing to his lyrical references to her throughout his catalog and indirectly sparking the feud between Em and Machine Gun Kelly a few years ago), today, her sister Alaina Scott gets some of the shine as she announces her engagement to her boyfriend of seven years, Matt Moeller. Posting to Instagram, she wrote, “this moment. this life. yes a hundred times over. I LOVE YOU.”
Eminem adopted Alaina after gaining custody from her mother, Dawn Scott — the twin sister of Em’s ex-wife Kim — when Dawn died in 2016. Em noted that he’d had full custody of Alaina since at least 2004, telling Rolling Stone in an interview that year, “I have full custody of my niece and joint custody of [my daughter] Hailie. I was always there for Hailie, and my niece has been a part of my life ever since she was born. Me and Kim pretty much had her, she’d live with us wherever we was at.” Like Hailie, Alaina has also received lyrical shout-outs from her adoptive father, as on the 2004 Encore single “Mockingbird”: “Lainie, uncle’s crazy ain’t he? / Yeah, but he loves you girl and you better know it / We’re all we got in this world.”
Eternals won’t place at the top of anyone’s Marvel Cinematic Universe rankings (although you can’t spell “Thor: Ragnarok” without “Eternals”… please do not fact check this). But the Chloé Zhao-directed film did set a milestone: it’s the first movie in the MCU with a sex scene. It’s between you and God and thousands of people on Twitter to debate whether it was a good sex scene, but it was a sex scene nonetheless. It’s probably the last one in the MCU for awhile, too. There definitely won’t be one in any Spider-Man movie, not as long as Tom Holland and Zendaya are Peter Parker and MJ.
“I don’t think it’s appropriate for the Spider-Man franchise,” Holland told Yahoo! Entertainment (the actor is 25, but Peter is still in high school). “We are still very much young kids. Should there be a future for this character maybe one day we will explore that. But at the moment, this is a film about celebrating friendships and young love.” After Zendaya compared Peter Parker to “like a little brother,” Holland added, “No one wants to see Peter Parker having sex! That would be horrible.”
Celebrity tequila brands, much like celebrity weed, can be a mixed bag. On the one hand, the idea of drinking the same spirits beloved — supposedly — by your favorite celebrity has strange appeal in our fame-focused culture. On the other hand, there is a very vocal contingent of people who think that celebrities have no business being in the tequila game in the first place, and… they make some pretty good points from time to time.
We’re not here to talk about that — who has the time — but wherever you stand on the celebrity tequila debate, there is one thing we can all agree on: if the tequila is well-sourced, affordable, and above all else actually tastes good, it’s worth drinking!
Some celebrity tequila brands are that. Some aren’t. So we decided to parse the good from the bad — taking eight of the most popular brands and putting them to a blind taste test in an attempt to see which tequila reigns supreme. Is this Clooney’s game or Jenner’s? Does Rita Ora have something to say? Michael Jordan has a tequila?!
Today’s Lineup
As with all of our blind taste tests, I received a pour of each bottle one at a time (courtesy of my girlfriend, she’s making me note this for her “records”) and spent some time jotting tasting notes down as I took a few sips before moving on to the next selection. Luckily, this is a good class of booze, so my experience was pleasant all the way through.
For this blind taste test, we went with each brand’s Blanco expression as it’s an expression each brand has in common. Here is this tasting’s class:
818 Tequila Blanco
Cincoro Tequila Blanco
Villa One Silver
Santo Fino Tequila Blanco
Teremana Tequila Blanco
Prospero Tequila Blanco
Lobos 1707 Joven
Casamigos Blanco
Let’s drink!
Part 1: The Tasting
Taste 1
Dane Rivera
Tasting Notes:
On the nose, I’m getting floral notes with the slightest tinge of vanilla. The scent is incredibly inviting. On the palate, this tequila expresses itself with fruity notes of peach that mellow out into a smooth dessert-like chocolatey finish. This is dangerously easy to drink.
I’m starting off with a bang here!
Taste 2
Dane Rivera
Tasting Notes:
Placement might ultimately hurt this one because, to my taste, this is the opposite of number one, and I don’t like it. There is something factory-esque about this tequila. On the nose, I’m getting a chemical tinge with choked-out notes of artichoke. On the palate, I’m getting vegetal notes, asparagus, and a soap-trying-to-pass-as-mint chemical after taste.
I’m not a fan of this one.
Taste 3
Dane Rivera
Tasting Notes:
Wow! We really fell right off a cliff with this taste test. This is not the type of tequila I like. It’s way too artificial and sweet. On the nose, it’s noticeably chocolate-y with caramel, chocolate, and cherry flavor that stains the palate with way too much sweetness.
I can’t even imagine this working in a cocktail. It’s way too distracting.
Taste 4
Dane Rivera
Tasting Notes:
A breath of fresh air, this is incredibly natural tasting. It’s very grassy with a slight chemical burn on the back end. It’s slightly salty with a touch of citrus. It tastes like the sort of tequila you want to utilize in a big batch of frozen margarita. It’s not a sipper, but I can see it working in all sorts of mixed drinks.
Taste 5
Dane Rivera
Tasting Notes:
There is something boring on this one. It’s not bad. It’s not good. It’s just fine. It has a nice lingering burn that reveals layers of spice, clove and cherry, but I feel weird that the after taste of this tequila is better than the actual flavor of it.
Taste 6
Dane Rivera
Tasting Notes:
There is a candy sweetness to this one, but not in an off-putting way like taste three. It has notes of cotton candy under a mostly natural vegetal flavor.
I can see it working great for a margarita or a paloma, but on its own it’s forgettable.
Taste 7
Dane Rivera
Tasting Notes:
Whoa, there is some kind of mistake going on because I can tell that this isn’t a blanco tequila. It’s spicy, earthy, and buttery with strong notes of black pepper. It’s interesting. I like it. But if this ends up being a blanco and not a cristalino that I slipped in by mistake, I’ll really be surprised.
Taste 8
Dane Rivera
Tasting Notes:
This is easily the best tasting sip since taste number one. This jumped out at me after all the so-so flavors of the last few tastes. It’s delicious.
Notes of grass and roasted agave greet the nose leading to flavors of asparagus and marshmallow that dance on the palate and settle into a floral aftertaste with hints of roasted nut and vanilla. It’s a really evolving journey of flavors.
Villa One was founded by Nick Jonas and designer John Varvatos and is produced at NOM 1472, Fabrica de Tequilas Finos, using a mix of highland and lowland agave harvested in Jalisco. This tequila was designed to be pleasing to the palate and it is, but I’m not getting any of the complex character that comes out of a well-crafted tequila.
The Bottom Line:
My main issue with this one is that it’s just way too sweet. It doesn’t taste bad by any means (see tasting notes) but it tastes f*cked with in a way that I can’t get behind. People who have never tasted tequila will like it, it leans on the sweeter side but it is by far the most off-putting bottle in this celebrity lineup.
The pricing on this tequila is absolutely absurd and if this was a ranking based on value, this would easily take the bottom spot. The brand is a collaboration between Michael Jordan, Lakers co-owner Jeanie Buss, Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wes Edens, and Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck. It’s made using a blend of valley and highland agave produced by Destiladora del Valle de Tequila — a distillery that produces over 149 brands.
Considering the bottle was commissioned from Mark Smith, Vice President of Innovation Special Projects at Nike, you have to wonder how much you’re paying to offset the cost of this bottle design? This tall and ridiculously shaped bottle is an accident waiting to happen. When the bottle falls, shatters, and cuts your foot, send that medical bill to MJ. I’m sure he’s making a killing on this.
The Bottom Line:
It’s rich expensive tequila for rich expensive people who have no idea what good tequila tastes like. This is for people who just see a high price tag and blindly buy.
Prospero is a partnership between British pop star Rita Ora, who serves as the brand’s Chief Creative Partner, and one of Mexico’s most well-respected distillers, Stella Anguiano. The brand’s blanco expression is highly rated at both Distiller and the Ultimate Spirits Challenge and has received a gold medal at the 2020 World Tequila Awards. But it didn’t really make a dent here when compared to the rest of the class.
The Bottom Line:
Overall, its neutral flavor just didn’t do it any favors. I imagine it works great when mixed in a cocktail. But as a standalone, it’s far too neutral to break into the top ranks. It’s a solid blanco tequila. But in this price range, there are better bottles to be had from much smaller distilleries that focus more deeply on craft.
Dwayne The Rock Johnson’s tequila brand is made in small batches at Destilería Teremana de Agave, which is a new facility built explicitly for producing Teremana. That makes this a passion project for Johnson and not just another white-labeled tequila on the shelf.
The Bottom Line:
I’m a little surprised that Teremana landed in the middle of this ranking since, generally, I don’t consider myself a fan of this brand. That’s why we do these fun blind taste tests — to leave our biases at the door and focus on the flavors. It’s affordable, so if you’re a huge fan of Dwayne Johnson and you want to drink his tequila, go for it, indulge that curiosity.
This is easily worth its price. It’s far from the best tequila I’ve ever tasted but there is very little to complain about. It’s a perfectly drinkable tequila.
Santo Fino is owned by Guy Fieri and Sammy Hagar and produced at Tequila El Viejito in Totolan, Jalisco.
The Bottom Line:
This was the biggest surprise of the night for me. I fully expected it to be the worst-tasting brand in this lineup. Don’t ever doubt the power of Fieri. The dude knows and lives for flavor. So even though the bottle design is hideous, and Hagar and Fieri felt the need to include a picture of themselves on the bottle tag… this one delivers. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
Santo Fino is in the lock case with the more expensive tequilas because it actually tastes good, not just because it’s backed by two huge celebrities.
Lobos 1707 was founded by Diego Osorio and lists LeBron James as an early backer. James, Osorio, and CEO Dia Simms refer to themselves as the “wolf pack,” which we’re going to call cute… for now.
Lobos 1707 is also a joven tequila and not blanco. A joven tequila is sometimes known as a “gold” tequila, which is a blanco with colorings and flavors added. But sometimes (as is the case for this tequila) it’s a tequila that features a base of un-aged blanco tequila mixed with aged tequilas — in this case Lobos Reposado — that give it a sort of golden hue and a more complex flavor profile.
Lobos’ joven doesn’t have any of that golden hue — likely because it’s carbon-filtered before being finished in PX wine barrels.
The Bottom Line:
Some tequila drinkers will argue that a joven tequila doesn’t belong on a blanco taste test and they’re kind of right. But Lobos 1707 keeps things on the natural side and I think we can make an exception in this case.
Plus, as I mentioned in the tasting notes, I didn’t know this was a joven until I tasted it blind and it stuck out like a sore thumb. Sorry. It snuck its way into this ranking. But considering Lobos 1707 doesn’t have a blanco in the first place, the joven is as close as you’re going to get.
Overall, this one has a lot of character and it’s perfect for slow sipping in the evening.
Casamigos — founded by George Clooney, Rande Gerber, and Mike Feldman in 2013 (and now owned by Diageo after a $1 billion dollar deal) — was, for a time, the best celebrity tequila brand on the shelf. It’s a brand that proved by making the right moves and linking up with the right people, a celebrity tequila brand could actually work.
Before the brand was bought by Diageo, it was produced at NOM 1416 Productos Finos de Agave in Jalisco. Now, it’s produced at Diageo’s NOM 1609 in Jalisco.
The Bottom Line:
Casamigos, to this day, is still beloved. But it’s not the best tequila brand with a celebrities name on the label. I’m sorry to say that too because Casamigos is good. It was a real toss-up in my mind between the top two choices on this list.
This is more natural and grassy flavor works better in a margarita than our top choice. But in terms of flavor, this tequila is the second-best celebrity-backed brand on store shelves.
The brand was originally produced at La Cofradia distillery, home to 63 other brands. Now, it’s produced at Mieles Campos Azules as the sole brand at that distillery.
The Bottom Line:
I’ve written a lot about Kendall Jenner’s brand 818, and mostly I think the hate this brand gets is from snobby tequila gatekeepers who hate Kendall Jenner simply because she’s Kendall Jenner. I get it, I’m no fan of the Kardashian or Jenner family as an “entity” either. I’ve never even watched a single episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. But I am a fan of good tequila and 818 is that. There’s no question about it.
If you don’t believe me, buy a bottle and do your own blind taste test at home with friends. Jaws will drop and faces will fill red with embarrassment when everyone realizes that Jenner, and whatever team she assembled, knows what the f*ck they’re doing.
Today, this was simply the best celebrity tequila brand. No doubt about it.
Part 3: Final Thoughts
I do really like Casamigos for a margarita. It leans on the more vegetal side and, personally, that’s more my thing (or so I tell myself). But when buying a celebrity tequila, have to ask yourself: “For the price, is there a better-crafted bottle of tequila with a more expressive character?” There often is and looking for it is wise. But none of these are hate-worthy either, so if you want to try them — have at it!
Bottom Line:
Celebrity tequila isn’t bad. Far from it, in fact. But it’s also far from being the best your money can buy.
The Wiggles had themselves a bit of a viral moment earlier this year when they covered Tame Impala’s “Elephant” while mashing it up with their own “Fruit Salad.” The children’s music group apparently decided they’re really into covers, because next year, they’re releasing a whole album of them.
ReWiggled is set to drop on March 11, 2021, and it’s a two-part affair. The first side features artists like Stella Donnelly, The Chats, and the Melbourne Ska Orchestra covering songs by The Wiggles, while the second side sees the group performing songs by artists like Rihanna, AC/DC, Blondie, James Brown, and The Rolling Stones. They shared a preview EP of the album today and it features their renditions of “Elephant” and Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” a famously over-the-top song that is perfect for the cartoony style of The Wiggles.
They also shared an announcement video, so find that above and check out the ReWiggled art and tracklist below.

Young kids don’t always pick the best times to have emotional meltdowns.
Just ask any parent.
Grocery stores, malls, and restaurants (or any place with lots of people around) in particular seem to bring out the worst in our little ones, prompting explosive tantrums that can make even the most stoic parent turn red-faced with embarrassment.
But why be embarrassed? It’s just kids being kids, after all.
Actor Justin Baldoni recently shared a poignant photo with his own daughter and the big lesson he learned from his dad about such moments.
Baldoni, best known for his role on the show “Jane the Virgin,” shared a photo his wife, Emily, took while the family was shopping at the local Whole Foods.
In it, Baldoni, along with his father, stares down at his daughter, Maiya. She’s crying and/or wailing on the floor. Who knows about what. Her body is twisted into classic tantrum pose.
The two men look calm. Almost amused, but not in a mocking way.
They certainly are not embarrassed despite a horde of people around them in the store.
When Baldoni posted the photo to his Facebook, he recalled the way his father used to act during the actor’s own tantrums, and how it helped shape him into the man he is today.
I tried to stay off social media yesterday to connect with my family without distraction so I’m posting this today…. Posted by Justin Baldoni on Monday, June 19, 2017
“My dad always let me feel what I needed to feel, even if it was in public and embarrassing,” he wrote.
The post continued:
“I don’t remember him ever saying ‘You’re embarrassing me!’ or ‘Dont cry!’ It wasn’t until recently that I realized how paramount that was for my own emotional development. Our children are learning and processing so much information and they don’t know what to do with all of these new feelings that come up. I try to remember to make sure my daughter knows it’s OK that she feels deeply. It’s not embarrassing to me when she throw tantrums in the grocery store, or screams on a plane. I’m her dad…not yours.
Let’s not be embarrassed for our children. It doesn’t reflect on you. In fact.. we should probably be a little more kind and patient with ourselves too. If we got out everything we were feeling and allowed ourselves to throw tantrums and cry when we felt the need to then maybe we’d could also let ourselves feel more joy and happiness. And that is something this world could definitely use a little more of.”
The photo, which Baldoni calls one of his favorites ever, shows the advice in action.
There’s a lot of pressure out there on both men and women to be the perfect parents at all times.
But being the perfect parent doesn’t mean your kid never gets angry or frustrated or confused. As Baldoni writes, toddlers are really just beginning to learn and explore the world’s boundaries. There’s naturally going to be a lot of swirling emotions as they encounter things and situations they can’t understand.
What’s important is we don’t teach them to hide those feelings or push them down for fear of ridicule — that kind of emotion-management can come back to haunt us as adults. Working through our feelings, or just having a good cry right there in the middle of the grocery store, is an important skill to learn.
The emotional health of our children is certainly worth a few weird stares from people we’ll never seen again.
As mentioned in her SNL opening monologue last week, if you don’t know Billie Eilish by her music, you probably know her by her hair and her clothing. Ever since she’s been in the limelight, Eilish has always experimented with her style whether she’s wearing baggy clothes on stage or an elegant ballgown to the Met Gala. Due to her eye for innovative style, Nike has asked the singer to help design her very own style of Air Force 1 sneakers.
Eilish’s new Nike designs were just unveiled this week, showing how the singer opted to put her own spin on the Air Force 1’s classic style. Her sneaker features five Velcro straps across the top with a thick sole in a mushroom beige colorway.
This isn’t the first time Eilish designed her own sneaker. Back in September, the singer revealed that she had joined forces with Air Jordan for two innovative designs. Eilish purposely opted for a more gender-neutral design, with one of the sneakers boasting a more classic silhouette but dyed with a vibrant green color the singer is so closely associated with. Both of Eilish’s Air Jordan designs were made 100 percent vegan, as the singer is a vegan herself, and were made up of 20 percent recycled material.
Check out a preview of Eilish’s new shoe collaboration above.
