In a new interview to promote his just-released memoir, Putting the Rabbit in the Hat, Brian Cox once again weighed in on the heavily scrutinized New Yorker profile of his Succession co-star Jeremy Strong. While Cox has mostly stuck to concerns about Strong’s method acting affecting his mental health, this time around, the veteran actor voiced his opinion that the profile was not the best idea.
“In a sense, he got hoisted by it, and I think it was unfortunate,” Cox told Deadline. “I think he should never had gone down that road because playing Kendall has put him in a very vulnerable position.”
After expanding on his love for Strong and his respect for him as an actor, Cox reiterated that the New Yorker profile placed him in a “vulnerable position.” However, when asked how his own memoir won’t do the same to Cox, he fired back with a response that was pure Logan Roy:
DEADLINE: Do you worry that you’ve done that to yourself to some degree with the book?
COX: What?
DEADLINE: Put yourself in a vulnerable position?
COX: No, no. Listen, I’m too old, too tired and too talented for any of that sh*t.
We’re going to take his word for it because, so far, Cox has fired off his blunt opinion of Johnny Depp, Quentin Tarantino, and the paltry pay he was offered for Game of Thrones without hesitating. The veteran actor has seen it all at this point, and if he wants to write a memoir about it, we don’t think anyone could stop him if they tried.
Earlier this month, FKA Twigs followed up on her 2019 acclaimed LP Magdalene with the 17-track effort, Caprisongs. Though the singer only previewed the recent album with two singles before its official release, Twigs now returns with a video to her track “Meta Angel,” a deliciously auto-tuned anthem which flexes her tenor vocals.
Directed by Aidan Zamiri, the visual opens with the singer looking disoriented in a grass field. It then cuts to an alternate version of her seeking a higher vantage point. She picks up a bow an arrow and shows off her masterful archery skills as she shoots her bewildered self straight through the heart.
Ahead of the visual’s release, Twigs offered some insight into the inspiration around her project. The singer said it’s a compilation of various snapshots of her life that have brought her joy in the past few years:
“CAPRISONGS is my journey back to myself through my amazing collaborators and friends. it’s bronzer in the sink, alco pop on the side, a cherry lolly, apple juice when you’re thirsty, friends in the park, your favourite person, that one sentence somebody said to you that changed everything, a club pre-game, your bestie who is always late but brings the most to the party, meeting a friend at the airport, just togetherness. And my world: London, Hackney, Los Angeles, New York City and Jamaica.”
Watch the “Meta Angel” video above.
Caprisongs is out now via Young Recordings/Atlantic. Get it here.
FKA Twigs is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Ever since Megan Thee Stallion’s recent college graduation, she’s archived a number of personal posts on her Instagram — a common tactic for artists between projects or gearing up for new ones. However, the commonness of this occurrence didn’t stop some gossip blogs from digging for a story when they noticed that many of the archived posts were ones that included Meg’s partner Pardison Fontaine. And the story they came up with was a doozy, alleging that the couple broke up because Megan was allegedly an “abusive, mean drunk.”
However, Pardi himself jumped on Instagram to refute those rumors, blaming the stories on the couple’s own refusal to offer up information to story-seeking bloggers. “Stop this cap nobody puttin hands on nobody …(At least not in that way ),” he wrote. “Been seein the break up rumors and was lettin y’all imaginations run ..but y’all gettin too crazy ….ain’t give niggas a story so they made one … we really been on it double time.”
A more likely explanation for Megan’s recent Instagram activity: She’s been very busy of late. In December, it was reported that Meg had signed a first-look production deal with Netflix to develop possible series and movie projects. That’s on top of her usual partnerships, performances, and working on a follow-up to her debut album — which includes collaborations like the one she’s working on with Shenseea she’s dropping this Friday. So, remember, check those sources (Black Sports Online, not a good one), and stay tuned for Megan’s next moves.
When it comes to bourbon whiskey, there are a few ground rules. We know all about the fact that in order to be called a bourbon, the whiskey must be made of a mash bill of at least 51 percent corn and follow a few other proof-related rules. It also must be produced in the U.S. (although it doesn’t have to be made in Kentucky). And then there’s the time that the bourbon spends aging.
To be called “straight bourbon,” the whiskey must be aged for at least two years. The vast majority of standard bourbons on the shelf — the Jim Beam’s, Old Foresters, Four Roses, etc. — tend to be aged between four and six years old by design. Longer than that will yield more caramel, vanilla, dried fruits, spices, and oaky flavors — derived from the barrel itself. But bourbon can also get to the point that it’s “too oaky” or “too aged,” which is why some believe that ten years is the true sweet spot.
For many distilleries, ten-year-old expressions are the crown jewel — as coveted as they are flavorful. To find some of these gems, we asked a few well-known bartenders to tell us their picks for the best ten-year-old bourbons. They didn’t disappoint with their answers.
If you’re searching for the best bang for your buck bourbon, then look no further than Bulleit 10 Year (found at around $45 where available). When compared to some of the other options for ten-year bourbons, Bulleit offers a wonderful course of vanilla, spice, and oak forward flavors while not breaking your bank.
It’s hard to really label one bottle as “the best” expression of a particular category. Bourbon whiskey has been booming over the last couple of years and it’s led to a competitive market full of options to choose from. Personally, though I tend to gravitate to Michter’s 10-year Kentucky Straight Bourbon. This bottle boasts a slightly higher ABV at 47.2 percent which allows the spirit to truly shine.
Boasting the caramel, honey, and charred oak flavor profiles a true bourbon drinker looks for this bottle is sure to never disappoint.
Basil Hayden 10
Jim Beam
Subhash Sankar, head mixologist at Alaia Belize in San Pedro Town, Belize
This high rye bourbon is a great mix of sweetness and heat. It has the caramel sweetness and vanilla essence, that drinkers expect from bourbon, but the high rye content gives it an added kick of peppery spice.
Eagle Rare 10
Eagle Rare
Christopher Devern, lead bartender at Red Owl Tavern in Philadelphia
For $29.99 in Philadelphia right now, Eagle Rare packs some amazing flavors at an approachable price. There are tons of oak, as expected from a ten-year bourbon, along with rich notes of spices and cacao. It can be a tough find but when I do get a bottle for the Tavern, it flies off the shelf.
That’s an easy one for me. Henry McKenna 10 Year Bottled in Bond from Heaven Hill immediately comes to mind. The amped-up vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, and toffee belie the 100 proof. It drinks much bigger, richer, and is not outrageously priced. This bottle will still pop up on store shelves occasionally which is almost a miracle these days.
This is just a consistently great all-around sipper. Love it.
Widow Jane 10
Widow Jane
Ally O’Keefe, bartender at The Bower in New Orleans
Widow Jane 10 is my go-to ten-year-old. It has a lovely balance of pepper spice and sweetness, with flavors of hazelnut, toffee, sugar cookie, and clove. It’s an excellent sipper for the price.
Russell’s Reserve 10
Wild Turkey
Alejandro Mendoza, restaurant and bar manager at Hotel SLO in San Luis Obispo, California
If we are going off taste to value, then I have to go with Russell’s Reserve 10 Year hands down This is a base spirit that is easy to play within cocktails, but can hold its own when compared to Eagle Rare (its closest competitor for a 10-year-old whiskey). And, it’s way easier to come by.
I love the taste you get from this one with warm rich spiced vanilla and bottled at 90 Proof, so it’s a very approachable, easy-drinking bourbon.
Writer’s Pick: Redemption 10 Year Barrel Proof High Rye Bourbon
The long name should key you in on how complex this potent, 114.4-proof award-winning whiskey is. This high rye bourbon is known for its slightly spicy, peppery flavor that is complemented by notes of butterscotch, sweet honey, candied nuts, and rich, oaky wood.
This robust, bold 100-proof bourbon was aged for a decade in charred, American oak casks. The result is a memorable wheated whiskey with hints of toffee, vanilla beans, candied orange peels, and complex oak. It works just as well as the base of your favorite cocktail as a warming sipper.
Netflix knows that all of us are freezing our tushes off, and that’s (at least part of) why they keep cranking out the winter content. This month, there’s some voyeuristic true crime coming your way, along with return seasons of some highly viewed shows. In addition, a testosterone-fueled franchise branches out with more hair and fur and armor flying everywhere, and one of Tyler Perry’s most beloved (and misunderstood) creations comes back from “retirement.” Oh, and Will Arnett has brought some of his famous friends to troll the hell out of the procedural genre with help from Coco.
There’s plenty more coming from the archives, too. While you wait for Robert Pattinson in The Batman, catch him in Josh and Benny Safdie’s Good Time, along with Keanu Reeves in Al Pacino in The Devil’s Advocate. And there’s a new true crime original Netflix selection called The Tinder Swindler, which will make you avoid online dating even more than usual. Stay warm and safe!
Here’s everything coming to (and leaving) Netflix in February.
Inventing Anna (Netflix limited series streaming 2/11)
As if Julia Garner didn’t already rule the small screen in Ozark, we’re getting another heaping helping of her. This time, though, the tight corkscrew curls are largely hidden while Garner portrays Anna Delvey, a real-life Instagram “legend” and fake German heiress. In reality, Delvey was a master con artist who captivated New York’s social elite and ended up dragging the hell out of the American dream in the process. This limited series follows the investigation into Anna’s misdeeds, along with how she stares down trial and keeps those lies alive, all as inspired by Jessica Presler’s New York Magazine article that will get you primed.
Vikings: Valhalla (Netflix series streaming 2/25)
Six seasons of the saga weren’t enough for fans of the action-packed, shout-filled O.G. series. This sequel spinoff series follows different stories set 100 years ahead with a different generation of heroes chasing destiny. In the midst of it all, the show will introduce history-famous Vikings, including Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson), and Nordic prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter). As expected, clashes will be bloody between the English royals and the Vikings while everyone argues into oblivion about Christian and pagan beliefs and fights for the most glory and (of course) for survival.
Netflix
Murderville (Netflix limited series streaming 2/3)
Procedural shows have already reached parody height in some instances and been lampooned to death (in a largely enjoyable way), so how about another spin on the procedural crime-comedy drama? This show stars Will Arnett as a senior detective who’s accompanied by celebrity guest stars while investigating murders-of-the-day. However, the twist with this show is that the guest star never receives a script, so they have to think quickly and improvise the heck out of this thing while attempting to figure out the killers. In other words, Annie Murphy, Conan O’Brien, Ken Jeong, Kumail Nanjiani, Marshawn Lynch, and Sharon Stone are your guinea pigs.
Netflix
Tyler Perry’s A Madea Homecoming (Netflix film streaming 2/25)
Well, no matter how you feel about the Madea character herself (and she is damn f*cking funny), you cannot deny Tyler Perry’s prowess. Not only did he keep production rolling on his countless other projects during the pandemic, but he’s bringing back the woman who will not take any lip or nonsense from anyone. Expect to see massive family drama during what should be the happiest of occasions: Madea’s great-grandson graduating from college. Boy, I bet she is pissed off when the secrets start flying out, and expect to see plenty of this franchise’s familiar faces, including Tamela Mann, David Mann, Cassi Davis Patton, and the incredibly Irish Brendan O’Carroll… as Agnes Brown.
Space Force: Season 2 (Netflix series streaming 2/18)
Yep, this is happening again. Enough people must have enjoyed a frustrated, bad-boss Steve Carell playing astronaut while John Malkovich somehow finds himself on this series as well, and Lisa Kudrow gets shipped outta there for baffling reasons, but hey, the first season of The Office wasn’t nearly as good as the rest, so maybe there’s some hope for redemption here. Positivity, y’all.
Disenchantment: Part 4 (Netflix series streaming 2/9)
Alright, so this is a teaser for the already surfaced Season 3, but if you’re a fan of the show, you’ll forgive me for reminding you what happened already on this Matt Groening comedy fantasy series. In this season, the hard-boozing Queen Bean, the elfy Elfo, and the demonic Luci are growing closer to solving the mystery of what exactly is going on with Dreamland’s origins. In the process, they go on personal journeys that help them unravel vast knowledge, and at some point, they fall into Hell, rise into Heaven, and raise havoc in more Earthly locations (like Ogreland, Steamland, underwater, monasteries, insane asylums, the Enchanted Forest, and so on).

Irish post-punkers Silverbacks are quickly accumulating buzz as their sophomore album Archive Material nears a release later this week. Archive Material is an excellent progression from the band’s debut album, Fad, which marked the band’s entry onto the scene when it was nominated for the Choice Prize, Ireland’s top music prize, in 2019. The new album is comprised of twelve excellent songs, but it’s tracks like “A Job Worth Something” that really stand out for showcasing the band’s instantly-palpable cool factor, which is just the cherry on top of their knack for melody and song structure.
To celebrate the new album, guitarist Killian O’Kelly sat down to talk Brian Eno, pesto pasta, and his first PlayStation in the latest Indie Mixtape 20 Q&A.
What are four words you would use to describe your music?
Lots of fun guitars.
It’s 2050 and the world hasn’t ended and people are still listening to your music. How would you like it to be remembered?
“Woh nelly this band slaps!”
What’s your favorite city in the world to perform?
The dream has always been to see the world with the band but we are yet to achieve that. We played Elmwood Hall in Belfast and that was pretty cool.
Where did you eat the best meal of your life?
Snack Tabora in Brussels at the end of a night out – I had a mitraillette with Sauce Blanche and Andalouse
What album do you know every word to?
I’m terrible at remembering lyrics so I am going to be a terrible human and say Ambient 4: On Land by Brian Eno
What was the best concert you’ve ever attended?
One of them would be Mogwai at Rock Werchter in 2009, first time I ever heard Scotland’s Shame – it rocked.
What is the best outfit for performing and why?
Anything with tight sleeves around the wrists, not mad about sleeves getting in the way of guitar playing – a shorter answer would be t-shirts.
Who’s your favorite person to follow on Twitter and/or Instagram?
Three weeks ahead of February’s trade deadline, reports are heating up surrounding De’Aaron Fox, Ben Simmons, and Domantas Sabonis, three of the biggest names that could potentially be on the moon.
According to a report from Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee, the Sacramento Kings are willing to deal Fox in a trade that returns Simmons or Sabonis, each of whom is a multi-time All-Star. Anderson reports that Sacramento’s willingness to move Fox represents a notable shift for the organization.
“The Kings were not willing to entertain the thought of trading De’Aaron Fox last summer when they started surveying the market for a transformational move to alter the course of the franchise,” he wrote.
“A league source told The Sacramento Bee the Kings have stepped up their pursuit of Indiana Pacers big man Domantas Sabonis and they are including Fox in those discussions. Fox was so far off the table he wasn’t discussed when the Kings approached the Philadelphia 76ers about Ben Simmons last summer, sources with knowledge of the talks told The Bee, but now Fox is reportedly part of those conversations as well.”
Averaging 25.2 points, 7.2 assists, and 1.5 steals, Fox enjoyed a career-best campaign in 2020-21. But his shooting numbers have slipped this season, and the continued emergence of second-year guard Tyrese Haliburton has seen Fox’s responsibilities narrowed in recent months to predominantly scoring rather than scoring and passing.
Simmons’ arrival would invigorate a team that finished last in defensive rating a season ago and is 27th this season. He’s a two-time All-Defensive First Team honoree and finished second in Defensive Player of the Year voting in 2020-21. He wouldn’t solve all their issues on that end, but he’d certainly help considerably.
Meanwhile, Sabonis would provide an interior playmaking hub to pair well with Haliburton. He’d diversify and improve Sacramento’s 21st-ranked offense, perhaps allowing them to successfully lean all the way into an offensive-minded identity amid the hunt for a playoff berth.
The Kings are 18-28, but find themselves just 1.5 games back of the Portland Trail Blazers for the West’s final play-in spot. Simmons and Sabonis wouldn’t guarantee anything, though each would increase this team’s chances of ending its lengthy playoff drought. And that chance might be enough to entice the front office to deal Fox, despite his own talents and rise over the years.
Britney Spears and her sister Jamie Lynn are currently embroiled in a social media confrontation about Jamie Lynn’s forthcoming memoir, Things I Should Have Said. Jamie Lynn’s book details growing up on the heels of Britney’s global fame, her acting career, relationship to her parents, and her experience becoming pregnant at age 16. But there are also apparently a few stories about Britney in the book, and the singer isn’t happy about it. Not only did Britney say she should have “slapped” Jamie Lynn in the face, but she’s now reportedly taking legal action.
According to documents obtained by Variety, Britney’s lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, sent Jamie Lynn a cease and desist letter on the singer’s behalf. The letter pertains to Jamie Lynn’s memoir, calling its claims “misleading” and “outrageous.” “We write with some hesitation because the last thing Britney wants is to bring more attention to your ill-timed book and its misleading or outrageous claims about her,” the letter states.
Rosengart goes on to write that Britney has no plans to actually read the book, but the singer believes Jamie Lynn’s words exploit her past:
“Although Britney has not read and does not intend to read your book, she and millions of her fans were shocked to see how you have exploited her for monetary gain. She will not tolerate it, nor should she. You of all people know the abuse and wrongdoing Britney had to endure during the conservatorship, after initially growing up with a ‘ruinous,’ alcoholic father. In fact, your own book reportedly states that your father ‘spent most of my life in that cycle of ruinous behavior. His bouts of drinking caused me periods of torment and sorrow.’”
The letter continues to make claims about Jamie Lynn’s “fantastical grievances:”
“As I have previously stated, having endured a 13-year conservatorship that stripped her of civil rights and fundamental liberties, Britney will no longer be bullied by her father or anyone else. Britney was the family’s breadwinner and she also otherwise supported you. Publicly airing false or fantastical grievances is wrong, especially when designed to sell books. It is also potentially unlawful and defamatory. […] Michelle Obama famously said, ‘When they go low, we go high,’ and to Britney’s great credit, that is exactly what Britney is going to do, for the time being. You recently reportedly stated that the book was ‘not about her.’ She takes you at your word and we, therefore, demand that you cease and desist from referencing Britney derogatorily during your promotional campaign. If you fail to do so or defame her, Britney will be forced to consider and take all appropriate legal action.”

Big Thief has a big album with a big title coming out soon: The 20-track Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You is set for release on February 11. Ahead of that, the group was set to begin a European tour at the end of January, but now plans have changed: Big Thief has rescheduled those tour dates, moving them to June and July.
The good news, though, is that they softened the blow of that news by sharing a new track today, “Simulation Swarm.” It’s an upbeat tune that’s grounded in a relaxing place by Adrianne Lenker’s idiosyncratic and gentle vocals.

Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You is out 2/11 via 4AD. Pre-order it here.
Howard Stern has never been one to hold back his opinions on the unvaccinated. The shock jock has routinely slammed them for prolonging the pandemic, and he’s even taken shots at prominent anti-vaxxer “idiots” like Aaron Rodgers, Kyrie Irving, and Joe Rogan. As Omicron continues to ravage the country and push the healthcare system to its breaking points, Stern didn’t hold back on the Wednesday episode of his show when a caller asked him about just letting the pandemic “run wild run wild and move through the unvaccinated.”
“If it was up to me, anyone unvaccinated would not be admitted to a hospital,” Stern bluntly stated before railing against anyone who is still refusing to get the vaccine despite almost an entire year of data showing that they’re safe and keeping people from dying or being put on a ventilator. Via Mediaite:
“No one’s sitting there conspiring against you. Americans don’t want to create a vaccine that’s going to turn you into a robot, or magnetize you. There’s enough Americans now have taken it. Look at us as a sampling where nothing has happened to us. It’s time for you to get it.”
Stern concluded by saying “Now if you don’t get it, in my America, all hospitals would be closed to you. You’re going to go home and die.”
Stern took things a step further by calling getting vaccinated “your civic duty,” and you know who agrees with him? A fully vaccinated and boosted Donald Trump. Unfortunately, the former president was booed after revealing that information, so Stern probably shouldn’t hold his breath waiting for anti-vax conservatives to change their minds anytime soon.
