Woah Nelly! Today, a video of Nelly started circulating online of him allegedly receiving oral sex. As we’ve seen with these instances with celebrities before who claim to have “accidentally” uploaded a video of them in the middle of a sexual act, the video was quickly deleted from Nelly’s Instagram account where it was originally posted. But the rapper behind now prescient hits like “Tip Drill” and “Hot In Herre” isn’t out of the woods yet, as the almighty court of public opinion that is Twitter has a tiny observation of what they saw.
“I saw Nelly’s d*ck and I’m very disappointed,” one user posted. Another said simply “Nelly’s d*ck is super regular.”
Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes Jr. and was recently awarded the “I Am Hip-Hop” Award at the 2021 BET Awards, allegedly posted the video to his Instagram stories. He has 3.3 million followers on his account.
Another more errr…nuanced…observation commented that “Nelly’s d*ck is pretty even though it’s not that big lol. A piece is a piece regardless.” While another was a bit saddened: “I’m actually a little disappointed. I thought nelly’s d*ck would be bigger than that.”
i’m actually a little disappointed. i thought nelly’s dick would be bigger than that
But not all of the responses have been disparaging. “So y’all consider Nelly’s d*ck small? That’s the size I like,” one user tweeted pledging their support. And finally, we have our objectively best take, whether it’s accurate or not, saying “i was like good gracious nelly’s d*ck is bodacious.”
i was like good gracious nelly’s dick is bodacious
This price point is where bourbon whiskey starts to get interesting. This whole list is pretty much bangers and every bottle costs less than $50. That, folks, is a great sweet spot when it comes to finding and drinking a great bourbon whiskey right now.
For this ranking, we’re going off two parameters. One, these are the bottles I vouch for, a you can see in my tasting notes. There are tons of other bourbons that could easily slot into these spots but just don’t rank quite as highly for me. Two, this is based on prices at Totalwine.com with delivery set to Lousiville, Kentucky. That means that your prices may vary slightly depending on your own state taxes and so forth.
Beyond all of that, this really is just about calling out ten great bottles of whiskey that you can go out and get right now. Let’s get into it!

This is classic Bulleit Bourbon that’s aged up to ten years before it’s blended and bottled. These barrels are hand-selected (sourced) barrels that really amplify those classic “Bulleit” flavors that make this brand so damn accessible (and beloved) in the first place.
Tasting Notes:
There’s a lot going on with butter and spicy stewed apples, maple syrup, Christmas cakes full of nuts and dried fruit, and a hint of savory herbs all pinging through your nose. The palate brings about smooth and creamy vanilla with plenty of butter toffee, sourdough crust, more X-mas spice, cedar bark, and a hint of dried roses. The finish is long, warming, and really embraces the toffee and spice.
Bottom Line:
You really can’t beat this if you’re looking for either an easy end-of-the-day sipper or a killer cocktail base. It’s the best of both worlds.
This whiskey used to be a 12-year small batch offering named after the creek that runs through Willett Distillery. It’s still named after the creek, but the 12-year age statement is gone. The whiskey is cut down to a very specific 100.1 proof with that Kentucky limestone water before bottling.
Tasting Notes:
The nose draws you in with notes of salted caramel, woody cherry tobacco, a touch of leather, and vanilla wafers countered by savory herbs (think rosemary and maybe sage) next to light but fresh roses. The taste goes hard with the cherry tobacco to the point that it’s nearly sticky on the palate as the roses dry out and the vanilla and caramel almost feel dried out and attached to a dry cedar bark. A hint of winter spice comes in late as the finish leans back into the dry roses and singed cherry tobacco leaves.
Bottom Line:
This packs a pretty solid flavor punch, especially when you’re mixing up subtle bourbon cocktails. While there are a couple of Willett labels that beat this one out, it’s still pretty damn fine for a $44 bottle of bourbon.
Bob Dylan’s Tennessee Bourbon is a very enjoyable and a (surprisingly) un-gimmicky treat. The juice is a high-rye bourbon that’s aged for up to eight years before Heaven’s Door’s blender gets his hands on the barrels. Those whiskeys are then blended to highlight classic bourbon notes with a Tennessee twist.
Tasting Notes:
Notes of vanilla sit next to a slight oakiness with an almost rye bread crust sourness and bitterness. The sip leans into the vanilla, creating a creamy texture as wisps of apricot and cherry mingle with mild brown spices. The finish is long and hits on that vanilla cream, all the fruit, and mild spice while leaving you with a final nod to the charred oak at the end.
Bottom Line:
This bottle is a good conversation starter for any bar cart (Dylan designs the labels) that also happens to a pretty easy-drinking whiskey or mixer.
Wilderness Trail is the whiskey nerd’s whiskey. Dr. Pat, who started off selling yeast to brewers and distillers, helped start this distillery based on making the best of the best. This expression starts off with a high rye mash bill of 64 percent corn, 24 percent rye, and 12 percent malted barley. That whiskey is aged on-site and then only 12 barrels are pulled for this small batch expression.
Tasting Notes:
This draws you in with a piping hot apple pie full of stewed apples, wintry spice, and a lard crust accented by vanilla, a touch of applewood, and subtle salted caramel drizzle. The palate leans into the stewed apples at first then counters with freshly cracked black pepper before the caramel sweetness takes the mid-palate towards the finish. The end is full of winter spices with a hint of peppery tobacco leaf and a touch of dry wicker furniture.
Bottom Line:
There’s a nice balance to the peppery rye notes and those sweeter bourbon ones that help this stand out. This is just an easy-drinking bourbon, in general, with very little to push you away. Still, I feel like this leans more into a solid cocktail mixer and a perfectly fine on the rocks sipper territory.
This is Dickel’s main “small batch” whisky. The standard juice is aged for nine to 12 years and built from 12 or fewer barrels. Those hand-selected barrels are vatted and then cut with that soft Tennessee water to a very approachable 86 proof.
Tasting Notes:
You get soft notes of corn next to butterscotch, oily vanilla, fresh leather, a touch of orange rind, and maybe a little cherry on the nose. The palate delivers a mix of eggnog spices with hints of vanilla, creamed corn, dry cedar bark, and a slight savory note that leans towards fresh green herbs. A note of black Neco Wafers arrive on the mid-palate and leans into almost powdered banana and anise. The end lingers on the spices as the vanilla and cedar leave you with a dry feeling on the back of your palate.
Bottom Line:
This is one of the more interesting sips on the list. That powdery fruit and spice help this feel like a true outlier. It’s also pretty divisive. I dig it, especially over some rocks or in a cocktail.
This expression uses six of Four Rose’s ten whiskeys in their small-batching process. The idea is to blend both high and low-rye bourbons with yeast strains that highlight “delicate fruit,” “slight spice,” and “herbal notes.” The whiskeys tend to spend at least six years in the barrel before blending and proofing with just a touch of Kentucky’s soft limestone water.
Tasting Notes:
Raspberry and cloves mix with old oak and draw you in on the nose. The palate amps up the dark berry sweetness with a bit of tartness as a stone fruit vibe comes into play. The spice heightens and leans into winter spice with a focus on nutmeg. Finally, a wisp of fresh mint arrives to counterpoint the whole sip as the oak, vanilla, berries, and spice all slowly fade out.
Bottom Line:
This is where things land squarely in the great sipper territory. Again, that’s not to say I don’t use this in cocktails. I just prefer it over a rock or two after a long day.
Jefferson’s really hits it out of the park with their sourced juice. The “very old” element of this small-batched blend means that eight to 12 barrels of four unique bourbons were selected to be married, with the oldest clocking in at 20-years-old. That juice is then proofed with soft Kentucky limestone water to bring it down to a very approachable 90.2 proof.
Tasting Notes:
This is classic. Notes of vanilla meet spicy tobacco, leather, oak, and very buttery toffee with a hint of popped corn and apple pie mingle on the nose. The palate holds true to those notes while adding a mellow cherry with an almost cedar-infused cream soda. The finish is short but full of all those woody, spicy, and apple pie notes again, with plenty of buttery mouthfeel and a cedar box full of rich tobacco leaves.
Bottom Line:
This is another easy sipper, especially over a rock. Still, don’t sleep on putting this in your next Manhattan either.
This expression takes standard Woodford Bourbon and gives it a finishing touch. The bourbon is blended and moved into new barrels that have been double toasted but only lightly charred. The juice spends a final nine months resting in those barrels before proofing and bottling.
Tasting Notes:
There’s a welcoming aroma of marzipan, blackberry, toffee, and fresh honey next to a real sense of pitchy, dry firewood. The taste drills down on those notes as the sweet marzipan becomes more choco-hazelnut, the berries become increasingly dried and apple-y, the toffee becomes almost burnt, and the wood softens to a cedar bark. A rich spicy and chewy tobacco arrives late as the vanilla gets super creamy and the fruit and honey combine on the slow fade.
Bottom Line:
This is a deeply-hewn whiskey at this price point. Pour this into a Glencairn and add a little water to really let it bloom. Then do some experimenting with your favorite cocktails to see where it fits for you.
Michter’s really means the phrase “small batch” here. The tank they use to marry their hand-selected eight-year-old bourbons can only hold 20 barrels, so that’s how many go into each small-batch bottling. The blended juice is then proofed with Kentucky’s famously soft limestone water and bottled.
Tasting Notes:
Buttery caramel and peaches mix with creamy vanilla and oak on the nose. The vanilla really shines as the peach almost takes on a grilled edge as it gets sweeter and adds a whisper of smoke next to peppery spice. The spice kicks up and warms the senses as the slow fade embraces stone fruit, toffee, and more vanilla with a final kick of charred oak.
Bottom Line:
This is one of those classic, entry-point bourbons (for Michter’s) that a lot of other bourbons are measured against. This really is a versatile pour that works wonders in a glass with a little water or rock or will make any cocktail pop.
This is the mountaintop of what Wild Turkey can achieve. This is a blend of the best barrels that are married and bottled untouched. That means no filtering and no cutting with water. This is a classic bourbon with nowhere to hide.
Tasting Notes:
Crème brûlée greets you with a nice dose of Christmas spices, mild pipe tobacco, orange zest, and a distant hint of fresh mint sprigs on the nose. There’s a pine resin nature to the woody flavors on the palate that accents the orange oils, spices, vanilla, and sweetness. The sip takes on a Christmas cake-feel late with a velvet end that is just the right amount of everything you want from a bourbon.
Bottom Line:
This is my go-to as a sipper (end of day or end of the week). This really is just ridiculously easy to drink while still delivering a serious flavor profile that’ll engage you. All of that for a whiskey that’ll cost you less than $50 is a bit of a miracle given where bourbon prices are going right now.
When Nipsey Hussle was gunned down in March 2019, he had a lot of unfinished business. He was working on various projects to benefit the community, including the Vector90 coworking space and the shopping center around his Marathon Clothing store, the center of his business dealings. He also wanted to open a second Marathon location and now, thanks to his brother Blacc Sam, that dream is about to become a reality.
In an interview with The Guardian, Sam revealed that Nipsey’s family had purchased commercial property in LA’s Melrose arts district and has begun remodeling it to house the second location. There is no current opening date; meanwhile, the family plans to keep the original Marathon location on the corner of Crenshaw and Slauson intact despite its closure as a tribute to Nipsey. The lot is still undergoing redevelopment into a community space offering free music lessons for kids.
In the wake of Nipsey’s death, the store was closed down to prepare for the construction on the lot, although it remains a popular destination for well-wishers to visit and remember the Victory Lap rapper’s legacy. It was also where he was shot to death as he met with a local to offer him fresh clothing after being released from prison. The store has remained busy online, where drops often sell out within minutes of availability.
Meanwhile, David Gross, Nipsey’s business partner, plans to reopen Vector90, which has remained closed throughout the pandemic, and continue to offer the same financial education courses that Nipsey believed were vital to building the community.
Because no television show ever truly dies, Gumby is making a comeback. Fox Entertainment has purchased the rights to the decades-old rubber stretchy guy, who will be, you guessed it, getting his own revival series along with a new wave of merchandise and NFTs. The deal was announced in a press release written in a Comic-Sans font, which is certainly one way to announce a beloved children’s character becoming a non-fungible creature of the blockchain.
“Competition for globally recognized intellectual property is fierce. Uncovering this gem, with its built-in awareness and affinity, and bringing it to Fox, adds meaningful value and creative possibilities to the IP itself and to multiple divisions of our company,” said Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier. “Fox is proud to be home to these iconic characters. Welcome one and all.”
On top of “reimagining” Gumby into both live-action and animated projects, as well as using his likeness for a new line of NFTs, Fox won’t forget the character’s roots. Classic episodes will be available on the Fox-owned Tubi streaming service, so people can relive the joy and wonder of watching the green guy go on wacky claymation adventures with his horse Pokey. They used to run on Nickelodeon all the time. Ask your older siblings.
Neither team seems to be totally done, and it’s very possible those most recent trades become three-team deals before they’re made official, as some of the players coming to Portland and Indiana could be redirected elsewhere. After the Blazers traded McCollum, creating a huge amount of cap space and ducking them even further below the tax line, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported they were still planning on trying to make a big move to acquire talent before the deadline passed.
Later in the afternoon, Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer provided some insight on who that player might be, when he reported the Blazers are “engaged” in talks with the Pistons about forward Jerami Grant.
Having already moved Norm Powell and CJ McCollum, Portland is still engaged in conversations with Detroit on acquiring forward Jerami Grant, sources said.
Grant has been very available for the last month-plus and just returned from thumb surgery, and it appears the Blazers are looking to completely restructure their roster and created a bit more balance by adding the Pistons’ star wing to go alongside Jusuf Nurkic and Damian Lillard, whenever the star guard returns (either late this season or for next. Grant has one year left at just shy of $21 million on his deal and is extension eligible this summer, and it’s possible Portland has decided to simply rebuy-in with Lillard (also extension eligible) and Grant, while resetting the clock on the repeater tax.
We’ll see if they can get a Grant deal across the finish line, as plenty of other teams have been reported as interested in the Pistons wing, and if they cannot it would be fascinating to see how they pivot as they clearly are intent on making another move.
Unless you’re a neo-Nazi, being compared to genocidal maniac Adolf Hitler isn’t normally taken as a compliment, but that’s how Steve Bannon meant it after comparing Donald Trump’s golden escalator moment to some of Hitler’s best-performing propaganda films.
According to a new book from New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters, Bannon was enthralled with Trump’s choice to ride down a golden escalator at Trump Tower to announce his presidential run in 2015. Peters, who collected hundreds of interviews from people working in Trump’s camp at the time — including, presumably, Bannon himself — said that Trump’s former campaign manager thought of the Nazi propaganda film Triumph of the Will during Trump’s ostentatious announcement.
“He thought to himself, ‘That’s Hitler!’” Peters wrote (via Mediaite). “He meant it as a compliment. As a documentarian himself who had studied and admired Riefenstahl’s work, Bannon saw some of her visual techniques in Trump’s production.”
Leni Riefenstahl is the German filmmaker noted for producing most of Hitler’s propaganda films before and during World War II. Peters explains that Riefenstahl often preferred to show the dictator towering over his subjects, placing him on a “higher plane” and making him feel “superhuman.”
“Bannon thought that Trump’s entrance looked strikingly similar and that he was witnessing someone with an uncanny sense for manipulating public perception,” Peters wrote.
Liking a Nazi filmmaker’s work and thinking comparing someone to Hitler is a compliment is a weird stance for someone who likes to claim they’re not anti-Semitic or a white nationalist — but it’s totally in line with someone who lists Satan and Darth Vader as his personal heroes.
You know what they say: The family that TikToks together, stays together.
The Coley family is certainly no exception. With their unbridled and contagious enthusiasm, it’s no wonder that they’ve amassed a following of nearly 2 million people.
One of their more recent posts has more than 7 million views, as the Coleys get tested on “who knows dad best?”
There’s no question this family enjoys one another. And it’s heartwarming to watch.
The first round started off easy: What is Dad’s favorite candy?
The answer was unanimous, and correct. Reeses (pronounced “REE-sees,” which sparked its own sidebar in the comments).
“That entire family pronounced that Candy wrong lol” one person wrote. Hey, at least they were united.
With each correct answer, the kids get a rigorous dap of approval from dad. All except Mom, who refused anything but a kiss and playfully slapped the dap away.
The next round got a bit more tricky: What is Dad’s favorite restaurant?
Though most got it right (Cooper’s Hawk), sadly, not everyone succeeded. Golden Corral is not, in fact, Dad’s favorite dining spot, despite one son’s guess.
Mom (who got it right, again) warned “if you try to dap me one more time,” but Dad effortlessly slid into a hug instead.
Third round carried romantic history: In what grade did Dad meet Mom?
This one was going really well until the last son guessed 8th grade. The correct answer was 10th grade. Hooray for these high school sweethearts!
Then, there was the tiebreaker round, where each family member had to guess Dad’s longest long jump distance in high school (23.1 feet).
Though they all get points for eagerness, the winner was the daughter in the purple hoodie. Which is made pretty clear by her passionate screams of victory.
The Coleys have been winning over hearts with their content, leaving some to ask directly if they could join the family.
“Do you guys have room at the table for one more,” one person wrote
Another commented, “I’m not gonna ask again to be adopted…what’s taking so long?”
I think after watching this video, we’d all like to be adopted by the Coleys.
If you’re looking for more wholesome content from the Coleys, you can check out their TikTok channel here. They even did a similar quiz for Mom.
Finneas shared a statement attributed to both Eilish and himself, and it reads, “Words cannot describe how honored and excited we are to have been nominated for an Academy Award for our song ‘No Time To Die.’ It was a lifelong dream of ours to write a Bond theme, and one we never thought would ever come true. It’s completely unbelievable that we are here being recognized for this song, and this is a peak life experience for us as songwriters and artists. To be recognized today among these other incredible nominees is something we most certainly do not take for granted. Thank you to the Academy, from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you to Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson for allowing us this incredible opportunity, and to be part of Daniel Craig’s unparalleled legacy as James Bond. Thank you to Cary Joji Fukunaga, and last but not least, thank you to Hans Zimmer, Stephen Lipson and Johnny Marr for being an absolute joy to work with on this song.”
Eilish and Finneas also shared their own standalone reactions. Eilish wrote on Instagram, “nominated for an OSCAR [crying emojis] thank you SO much to @theacademy for this nomination!! it was an absolute dream to write a song for a @007 film and i’m so honored that it’s nominated. peak life experience. THANK YOU!!!” Finneas also tweeted, “Lucky us!!!! What an honor!!! I’m so grateful!!” He then offered a pat on the back to mortal enemy Questlove for his Summer Of Soul nomination, writing, “@questlove congratulations!! So deserved!!!”

In the midst of Kanye West’s ongoing public spat with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, some fans have begun to notice that one of the new members of his entourage bears a strong resemblance to his ex.
In TMZ’s new report about a listening party Kanye held this week for his new album Donda 2, it notes that not only was the party attended by the usual assortment of Kanye’s associates, including Drake, French Montana, Offset, and Travis Scott but there was also a model, Chaney Jones, dressed almost exactly like Kim Kardashian when she attended the E! People’s Choice Awards in December, with similar black catsuit, gloves, and stiletto boots (although Jones’ only reached her knees, contrasting Kim’s thigh-high pair at the awards).
Meanwhile, actress Julia Fox — who Kanye has reportedly been courting for the past month — was nowhere to be found, despite being lavished with extravagant gifts by the rapper just weeks ago. Incidentally, Fox herself sparked speculation among commenters when she deleted several photos of the couple on Instagram. Fans on Twitter also made note of the resemblance between Kardashian and Jones.
Kanye’s relationship with the original Kim Kardashian has notably deteriorated in the past week, as he appears to be on a crusade to convince the world that she’s been unfair to him. He’s accused her of blocking him from their daughter Chicago’s birthday party, putting a hit out on him, and preventing him from spending time with their kids, all while threatening to beat up her new man, Pete Davidson.
