Ahead of his upcoming album, God Did, DJ Khaled spoke with Speedy Morman of Complex, where he discussed the album and its collaborators. During the interview, he teased a collaboration with Jay-Z. He revealed that he’s played the track for a few people, many of which have supposedly said it’s Jay’s best verse of his career.

“The rumors are true,” he said. “A lot of rumors are not true, but these are true. I’m a Jay fan, you’re a Jay fan? So everybody has their favorite verse of Jay. I’ll let y’all decide that. I’m telling you, if there was a greatest hits of Jay-Z verses, it’s on there. That I’ll tell you, for a fact. The rumors are true, that’s for a fact.”

“Immediately, when he heard it, he started spitting the bars,” Khaled said. “I can’t make this up, there were a lot of people in the room that day. Ask ’em all. I played him my whole album and after I played him my album, he pulled my to the side and said it’s my best album. And I saw the smile on his face that was so genuine and he was so happy for me.”

The Newest ‘LOTR: The Rings Of Power’ Trailer Reminds Everyone That Another Show Is About To Get Medieval On Some Butts

As House of the Dragon continues to dominate the pop culture landscape following its Sunday night premiere, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has entered the fray with an epic new trailer. While the show has been secretive about plot details, this latest preview goes heavy on a young Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) and her relentless pursuit to battle the forces of evil across Middle-Earth. However, the task is growing far too great for just one elf as Sauron, the greatest threat that Middle-Earth has ever faced, begins his ascent from the shadows.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.

The first two episodes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power start streaming September 1 on Amazon Prime Video with new episodes dropping every Thursday.

Don Jr. Thinks It Would Be A GOOD Thing If His Dad Kept The Nuclear Codes At Mar-a-Lago

When he’s not busy hawking steaks, shooting assault rifles with an accused wife abuser, or dating a woman on his daddy’s payroll, Donald Trump, Jr. can generally be found embarrassing himself in a variety of ways, all in the name of pleasing his father. Junior proved this yet again on Monday, when he appeared at a campaign event for accused sex trafficker Matt Gaetz, and used the opportunity to criticize the FBI for their recent Mar-a-Lago raid, as Mediaite reports.

Responding to reports that some of the material federal investigators were searching for were related to America’s nuclear weapon arsenal, Junior — who seemed to think it was open mic night at the Chuckle Barn — thought it would be, like, wicked cool if his dad did have the nuclear codes just lying around his Palm Beach golf course:

​By the way, for the record, I’d say that if Donald Trump actually still had the nuclear codes, it’d probably be good. Our enemies might actually be like, ‘OK, maybe let’s not mess with them,’ unlike when they look at Joe Biden and they say, ‘You know what, we should attack now.’

Good one, Junior!

As for reports that Gaetz — who the elder Donald just formally endorsed for his bid to keep his place in congress — might have been the person who leaked the info about what was hiding at Mar-a-Lago, Junior clearly doesn’t believe it. “I heard that I was coming up here to yell at Matt because, apparently, he was the FBI informant,” Junior said, calling that bit of news “truly one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.” Which is saying a lot.

Naked Selfie Poster Tommy Lee Asked The Audience To ‘Pull Your F*cking Junk Out’ During A Mötley Crüe Show

A couple weeks ago, Tommy Lee had a bit of an internet-breaking moment when he shared a naked selfie, in which his penis (yes, the same one that’s its own character in Pam & Tommy) is on full display. Oftentimes, this sort of thing is an accident that people attempt to cover up, but Lee has remained proud; The photo is still up on Twitter (NSFW link here for those who want to see) and he later shared an artistic rendering of it.

Well, at Mötley Crüe’s show in Arlington, Texas last night (August 22), Lee took some time to talk about the photo, as well as encourage his penis-having audience members to do some sharing of their own.

In a fan-shot video that Lee himself shared on Twitter, Lee says between songs, “A couple of weeks ago, we had like a two-week break off the tour, and I went on a motherf*cking bender, bro… a bender. I got f*cking sideways as f*ck and got naked and posted pictures of my dick [laughs]. And usually, I mean, I’m a titty man, so I like to see titties, but tonight, it’s equal opportunity night. Tonight, I wanna see everyone’s dick. C’mon, pull your sh*t out. Pull your f*cking junk out. Let’s go.”

He then focuses on a specific fan, telling him to “show the whole world that motherf*cking hot dog.” After the fan indicated his wife vetoed that idea, Lee said, “The wife says no? Divorce.”

Check out the moment above.

Rudy Giuliani’s Ex-Press Secretary Predicts His Former Boss Will Be Indicted For Attempting To Overturn the 2020 Presidential Election: ‘Trump Stole His Soul’

In 2001, following the world-altering events of 9/11, Oprah Winfrey declared then-New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani “America’s Mayor.” In the very near future, he could be better known by a federal inmate number if the political insiders predicting that Giuliani is about to be indicted are correct.

On Monday night, MSNBC’s Ari Melber spoke with Giuliani’s former press secretary Ken Frydman, who in recent years has spoken (and written) openly about the many ways that his former boss has changed since getting into bed with Donald Trump — and not for the better. Last week, Giuliani was finally forced to testify in front of a grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia about his role in the former president’s attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. After successfully dodging earlier attempts to get him to testify, Rudy finally agreed only after he was informed that he is the “target” of a criminal probe into election interference. While we still don’t know the details of what Giuliani said — or if he pleaded the fifth to everything but his name —Frydman feels pretty certain that his former boss could see the inside of the clink.

“I think an indictment is a foregone conclusion here,” Frydman said. “It’s just a question of whether he flips on Trump or not.”

Frydman’s prediction isn’t just a gut feeling. “I have my sources,” he said. “And I’ve been paying close attention. And people close to him reach out to me — in despair, frankly. Because they don’t know what to do anymore. But the cat’s out of the bag. There’s no turning back the clock here.”

Melber pressed further, and asked why Giuliani, “at this stage of his life,” would throw away the legacy he spent decades building for Trump. Frydman’s answer? “Because he plays hardball — always has… In defense of his client, he’s going to do the best job he can. But lying is not acceptable as a lawyer.” And when it comes right down to it, Frydman believes that “Trump stole [Rudy’s] soul.”

Dan Harmon Offers ‘Concrete’ Proof That The ‘Community’ Movie Is Happening, For Real This Time

Dan Harmon once said that when a book about Community is written, the title won’t be Community: An Interesting Journey into a Show No One Ever Watched. It will be Six Seasons and a Movie. Human Beings have been expecting a film based on the cult-beloved NBC sitcom since Abed’s love of The Cape inspired the “six seasons and a movie” mantra/promise. There have been frequent updates over the year, including Fast Five director Justin Lin’s rumored attachment as director and Alison Brie confirming that “there are legitimate conversations that are happening,” but nothing definitive.

Dan Harmon swears it’s happening, though. For real this time.

“I will now say it’s a matter of ‘when.’ I have been so careful about [saying] that,” he told Newsweek. “It would have been accurate three years ago to say ‘it’s a matter of when, not if.’ The wheels have been in motion for that long.” Harmon, who’s also working on Rick and Morty season six (no movie… yet), continued, “The fan that Instagrams every day about Community, how can you tell them, ‘Yes, it’s definitely going to happen, but it may be between one and eight years from now,’ which is how the industry works.”

Harmon then offered the most promising update yet:

“How about this for a concrete thing? There is an outline for it. There’s a product put together and pitched out in the world. I guess that’s how real it is.”

Now it’s just a matter of securing financing, and distribution, and reuniting the cast with their busy schedules, including Donald Glover and “genuinely bad, racist person” Chevy Chase. Other than that, it’s good to go! Sounds dean-lightful.

Nicki Minaj Reacts To ‘Super Freaky Girl’ Debuting At No. 1 And Making History For Female Rappers

Nicki Minaj has found herself in the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart a handful of times now. Her first time was with her featured appearance on Doja Cat’s “Say So” in 2020, then with her Tekashi 69 collaboration “Trollz” later that year. Just yesterday, she landed her third No. 1, doing it unaccompanied this time with “Super Freaky Girl,” which debuted in the top spot. This has Minaj excited, so she took to social media to celebrate.

Sharing an Instagram post noting the various things the song’s No. 1 debut means, Minaj wrote, “You did it barbz. You did it. I love you so much. like so so SO much. Thank you.” She shared a more concise version of that message on Twitter, writing simply, “You did it [teary eyed emoji].”

As for what “Super Freaky Girl” has done, it’s the first song by a solo female rapper to debut at No. 1 on the Hot 100 since Lauryn Hill did with “Doo Wop (That Thing)” in 1998. It also makes Minaj the first female lead artist to debut at No. 1 in 2022, and the first female rapper with multiple songs to debut on top. Aside from the Hot 100, “Super Freaky Girl” is also No. 1 on a number of other charts, including Streaming Songs, Hip-Hop/R&B Songs, Digital Song Sales, R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs, R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs Sales, and Rap Streaming Songs.

Britney Spears Says She Cries Herself To Sleep ‘Most Nights’: ‘I Will Forever Be Traumatized’

In some ways, things are looking up for Britney Spears; She’s out of her conservatorship, she recently got married, and she’s releasing a new song with Elton John in a few days. Through it all, though, Spears’ past traumas are still impacting her, so much that she apparently cries herself to sleep “most nights.”

That’s what Spears wrote in an Instagram post yesterday (August 22), starting with talk of social media before continuing, “I do try and post me looking my best or what it may seem to be the good life … well the truth is, my spirits are better but I will forever be traumatized by my past experience for life … there is no way to fix me, my emotions and my sensitivity … therapy, all of it !!! I think I will need some sort of miracle for my emotions. My life is by no means picture perfect … I cry myself to sleep most night … I’m insecure as hell.”

Find Spears’ post below.

“It’s crazy … social media … everybody’s life seems so perfect and when I post things I think most of the time I’ve been utterly and completely embarrassed of my past … and who can forget those documentaries ??? So yes, I do try and post me looking my best or what it may seem to be the good life … well the truth is, my spirits are better but I will forever be traumatized by my past experience for life … there is no way to fix me, my emotions and my sensitivity … therapy, all of it !!! I think I will need some sort of miracle for my emotions. My life is by no means picture perfect … I cry myself to sleep most night … I’m insecure as hell … I don’t know how to have good posture unless I’m on camera … and I need to go to a school just to be taught how to freaking walk … I know you say ‘but you are a performer’ … well that’s it !!! It’s an act on stage … in real life I have no clue … and I’m working on that !!! I’m so lazy and I’m learning the word ‘MORE’ … I’ve never had seconds at the dinner table and I know ESPECIALLY in LA a lot of people starve themselves but it’s weird … I WANT MORE lately … does that make me a bad person ??? It’s weird just the other night someone made me the best mac and cheese … I swear I wanted more so bad !!! But I didn’t do it then I thought about it !!! Have I ever had seconds ??? It’s called MORE and maybe MORE isn’t so bad … and opening to MORE and the DOOR !!!”

HBO Max’s Weird Cuts Continue As They Ditch ‘Batman: Caped Crusader’ And Even A Couple ‘Looney Tunes’ Things

What is going on over at HBO Max? Since bowing two summers ago, the streamer has distinguished itself as maybe the best in the field — the one with the most variety, the one with some of the best new original shows. There a one-stop-shop for Looney Tunes and Studio Ghibli, Criterion and TCM movies, plus tons of delightful ‘90s garbage. But since the Warner Bros.-Discovery merger, increasingly infamous CEO David Zaslav has had some…interesting choices, leading many to worry about the fate of their favorite series and about their favorite streamer.

In the wake of the disappearing of some HBO originals as well as some animated shows, here’s some more bad news: As per Variety, the streamer has abruptly ditched six more animated series. Among them was not only highly anticipated but also another Batman-related thing: Batman: Caped Crusader, which was set to build off of the beloved Batman: The Animated Series from the ‘90s. The series was the brainchild of original show co-creator Bruce Timm as well as J.J. Abrams and The Batman director Matt Reeves.

The Batman series wasn’t the only ditched by HBO Max. They also parted ways with Merry Little Batman, The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, Bye Bye Bunny: A Looney Tunes Musical, Did I Do That to The Holidays: A Steve Urkel Story and The Amazing World of Gumball: The Movie.

Not all is lost, though. All six series are still in production. They just need a new home. Maybe they’ll find their way to a popular streamer run by a CEO who will better appreciate them. On the plus side, at least Warner Bros. Discovery brass aren’t bidding adieu to Nathan Fielder.

Danny Brown Unleashes ‘Winter,’ His First Solo Song In Three Years

Detroit rapper Danny Brown is back with “Winter,” his first solo song in three years, after unveiling it during an episode of the podcast Your Mom’s House. For now, the two-and-a-half-minute track is only on Soundcloud, his flow uninterrupted against a haunting, brooding beat that lends an eerie atmosphere to the song.

Last year, he took part in The Red Bull SoundClash, up against Rico Nasty. About his participation in the event, he told Uproxx, “I was a part of the A$AP SoundClash in London that they did against Boy Better Know. I don’t know, but they just hit me up. But I was always a fan of what it was. So, of course, when they asked me to do it, I was down. It didn’t even matter who it was against.” He added, “It’s my own personal set. This is working with someone else. And to me, this is not a soundclash, with the real Jamaican sound clashes. This is training. This is preschool. I mean, that’s what they calling it, but this is not that vibe. It’s not that energy. In Jamaica, a soundclash is war. We ain’t got that energy with each other. We ain’t got that vibe, so this ain’t that.”

Listen to “Winter” below.
