Baby Reindeer made streaming waves that continue reverberating, given the gut punch of a based-on-real-life story from Richard Gadd. Although the creator and star of the series has had to address the unpleasant side-effects (and those have continued) of becoming an overnight sensation, he’s also fielding positive effects, some of which have, in his words, “blew my mind.”

This has included praise from a wicked scared Stephen King, who uttered a telling “BABY REINDEER: Holy sh*t.” Additionally, Gadd recently revealed that he did catch wind of Cardi B’s reaction, and there’s a celebrity response that had Gadd even more floored, as he told Hollywood Reporter:

“There’s been some crazy stuff… The one that meant the most to me along with the Pogues was actually John Cena. He sent me a private video talking about the show and how much he liked it. I’m a big wrestling fan and a big John Cena fan, so that kind of blew my mind. It meant a lot to me.”

Not only is Gadd hearing from those he admires, he’s also unable to hang out and have a quiet bite at pubs anymore. He also revealed that, while recently traveling to Los Angeles for press-related duties, that pilots on his plane came out of the cockpit to bid greetings to him. “I still don’t think of myself as famous,” he admitted, but Gadd should probably get used to the idea.

Kehlani is about to have the summer on lock. Last month, they released a new single, “After Hours,” a sexy ladies anthem sung over the Coolie Dance riddim — popularized in songs like Nina Sky’s “Move Ya Body,” Pitbull’s “Culo,” and Elephant Man’s “Jook Gal.” Today (May 14), Kehlani has announced their new album, Crash.

Set to arrive this summer, Crash marks Kehlani’s fourth studio album. On the cover art, they are seen seated on top of a car with a broken windshield, wearing a dress made out of shiny glass.

While the look of the album’s cover and the title itself may sound ominous, Kehlani revealed in an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe last month that recording Crash was the most fun they’ve ever had making music.

“I wanted to make things for once that didn’t feel reminiscent,” Kehlani said. “For once, I’m not attached to some story or some public thing or some trauma or some deep explanations. As we go out this process and we have to talk to each other a bunch to all these people, I have nothing but joyful things to say to you. I’m in such a happy place. I’m ready to be outside.”

You can see the Crash cover art below.

Crash is out 6/21 via Atlantic. Find more information here.

Are you familiar with Dr. Dillamond? It’s okay if you aren’t, he’s a very prestigious science teacher who also happens to be a goat because who are you to tell him he can’t teach the periodic table of elements when “Ba”is his favorite element?

Dr. Dillamond is portrayed by none other than Peter Dinklage in the live action adaptation of Wicked, and fans got a good glimpse of the goat in the new trailer, which dropped today.

Wicked tells the (unofficial) origin story of Elphaba and Glinda, who later become the Wicked Witch of the East and Glinda The Good Witch, respectively. But who cares about the witches when we’ve got a cute little goat with glasses.

Even Ariana Grande, who portrays Glinda in the upcoming musical, is excited about Dr. Dillamond, and even changed her profile picture to celebrate the iconic animal:

She is not alone. Dr. Dillamond (who seemingly does not have a first name) has found hundreds of fans, who seem more invested in him then the actual musical. In the musical adaptaion, Dr. Dillamond is a man with a goat head. In the film, they are just going straight Goat. Which is both admirable and entertaining. The Dillamond fans are loving it!

Others are not too keen on the CGI Goat…Peter Dinklage could have gone full method for this one.

Whatever your opinion of Dr. Dillamond may be, please remember to be respectful when you see him in theaters on November 27th. He has a doctorate. Check out the trailer below:

The names we choose to give our children can significantly impact their lives. Multiple studies from across the globe have found that a person’s name can influence their employment, social and economic outcomes.

Unfortunately, humans make snap judgments about one another, and having an unusual name can lead people to make unflattering assumptions. “We’re hardwired to try to figure out in a heartbeat whether or not we want to trust somebody, whether we want to run from somebody,” Northwestern University researcher David Figlio said, according to Live Science.

However, an increasing number of parents are giving their children non-traditional names to help them stand out. “Parents are trying to be original, almost branding their kids in an era where names are viewed on the same level as Twitter handles or a website URL,” writer Sabrina Rogers-Anderson said.

Ruby, a mother on TikTok, took a hard stance on parents giving their children names that sound childish in a post that’s received over 11 million views. Ruby says she named her kids as “adults, not babies” hoping they would never “outgrow” their names.

“The whole concept when I was trying to look for a name and choose a name for her is I did not want her to outgrow her name,” she said in the viral video. “I wanted the name to fit her as a baby, as a toddler, as a child, and into adulthood. So, it’s like I really am happy with what I ended up with naming her and it just fits her so well.”

She captioned the video, “love having nicknames as they are younger and it doesn’t mean they will prefer it over their name as they get older. Just gives them options.”

People in the comments responded with modern names they think that kids will outgrow.

“My name is Koazy and I’m here for a job interview,” Stalker joked. “Hello sir, I am Bluey Mason Garrison! I was called in for a job interview last Tuesday,” Pastel Purr added.

“I can’t imagine knowing [a] 30-year-old named Emma or Posie,” Mikey wrote.

However, a lot of people commented that names that seem like they’ll be outgrown will sound fine in the future when those names are popular with the new generation. “Kids grow up with their generation having their own names on trend. They will be normal adult names when they are grown,” Kerry wrote.

“Names grow with the generation,” Lauren added. “The name Dennis sounded like a baby name once too. Names grow up just like generations.”

In a follow-up video, Ruby shared the names she gave her children. Her girl is named Karla Esmerelda and her boy is called Deluca.

“I just really liked how simple, how bold, and strong that the name by itself just really kind of is. Doing some research names with the letter K tend to be like very bold and powerful names, so I really wanted it with a K and not with a C,” she said.

She named her son Deluca, after a doctor on “Grey’s Anatomy.” She said she chose the name because there was nothing to connect it to, and it sounded “nice.”

Would you be considered human if you haven’t locked yourself out of your house at least once? One mom on TikTok found herself in quite the predicament with only her toddler to “mission impossible” his way to unlocking the house door to let his mom, @gesikaaaaaa, inside. The video starts with the camera pointed at a rosy-cheeked toddler on a snow-covered porch.

The boy looks to be no older than 2 or 3 but he’s an expert at following directions … sort of. It’s all still pretty new to him and, as anyone who’s ever interacted with a toddler knows, multistep directions are not the way to go. They tend to hear one thing only and even then are apt to be distracted by a stray piece of lint and not be able to finish the task.

Everything is new to a toddler and it doesn’t take much to distract them. And just about anything can be a toy. So when this mom helped her son through an open window in an effort to guide him through the process of unlocking the door, classic toddler cuteness ensued.

---

The desperate mom explains in the video that she left one window unlocked and you can see immediately that there’s no way an adult could fit through the small space without injury. So instead she uses her toddler to do it and once he’s inside the house his instructions are to get a chair … he finds a bowl. His mom tells him, “Focus. Focus. Grab the chair and take it to the door.”

What do you know? That sweet boy did just as he was told. Until he found a rock. Mom quickly refocuses the boy and the chair is back on the move, then he finds the fireplace tongs and takes a break to play with the fireside tools stand. Eventually the little guy succeeds in his mission but the journey there was the cutest maze of side quests you’ll ever see.

Watch him rescue his mom below:

There isn’t a single person past the age of infancy who has never made a mistake, and the majority of people do something that they’re not proud of at least once in their lives. While some mistakes are bigger than others, they’re all moments we’d rather keep to ourselves most of the time. For some people those mistakes are poor decisions or lapses in judgment that land them behind bars.

One man found himself facing a judge for sentencing after making poor choices. Arthur Booth had the entire internet weeping after a video of him went viral when the sentencing judge in court recognized him as one of her childhood friends. When Booth recognized the judge, he began to openly sob with embarrassment. He was ultimately sentenced to 10 months in prison and ordered to a drug rehabilitation center.

People wondered what happened after that fateful day in court, and a couple of years later a short update came, showing him reuniting with the judge after finishing his sentence and rehab. But that was years ago, where is he now?

---

Turns out, Booth is doing quite well. Rebel HQ uploaded a video showing what the once struggling man was up to, and the update couldn’t be any sweeter. On the day the judge reunited with her former classmate outside of the courtroom, she reminded him, “You’ve got to take care of your family, try to get a job, stay clean. You’re going to do something good for somebody else, that’s what you’ve got to do.”

Booth took her words to heart, making good on his promise and exceeding the expectation to succeed. The once embattled man has stayed away from the things that had cost him his freedom–drugs and gambling. In fact, he travels the country as a manager of a successful pharmaceutical company based in Florida, according to Rebel HQ. The man owns his own home and continues to keep in contact with the childhood friend and judge who gave him the words he needed to hear at the right time.

When it comes to spring and summer beer, it’s difficult to beat the appeal of Allagash White. This iconic brew from the Portland, Maine-based brewery is always ranked among the best wheat beers in the US beer marketplace. This award-winning Belgian-style wheat beer is balanced, flavorful, and a crushable 5.2% ABV — perfect for an unseasonably warm spring day, or a humid, hazy summer night.

Made to pay homage to traditional Belgian witbiers, this year-round favorite is brewed with malted wheat, oats, and raw wheat. It’s cloudy, unfiltered and gets added flavor from the addition of Curaçao orange peel and coriander. The result is a sweet wheat, yeasty, cloudy, gently spiced wheat beer you’ll never want to put down.

If you ever do decide to put it down but want to try something similar, there are at least a few beers that will appeal to you. Instead of making you find them, we did the work for you. Below, you’ll find eight of the best wheat beers (some American, some Belgian, and even one from Germany) to buy if you already love Allagash White. Keep scrolling to see which wonderful wheat beers made the list.

8.) Hoegaarden Wit

ABV: 4.9%

When it comes to Belgian witbiers, there are none more well-known than Hoegaarden Wit. This timeless wheat beer is brewed with water, barley, wheat, and hops as well as orange peels and coriander. The result is a classic, cloudy, yeasty, lightly spiced, citrus-forward wheat beer.

Tasting Notes:

The nose is filled with aromas of yeast, freshly baked bread, fruit esters, ripe bananas, cloves, coriander, and other light spices.

Bottom Line:

There’s a reason Hoegaarden is such a popular beer. It’s simple yet balanced and flavorful. It’s a great choice for fans of Allagash White.

7.) Ommegang Witte

ABV: 5.2%

Average Price: $12 for a six-pack

The Beer:

Brewery Ommegang’s whole concept is to create the closest thing to an authentic Belgian-style brewery in Central New York. While it makes a variety of award-winning brews, one of our favorites is its Ommegang Witte. This Belgian-style witbier is brewed with malted and unmalted wheat, flaked oats, and Hallertau Spalter Select hops. It gets its classic flavor from the addition of sweet orange peel and coriander.

Tasting Notes:

Before your first sip, you’ll be greeted by aromas of yeasty bread, sweet wheat, cloves, coriander, bananas, and more light spices. The palate is loaded with citrus zest, yeasty freshly baked bread, wheat, cloves, coriander, bananas, and gentle spices. The finish is sweet, yeasty, and has very little bitterness.

6.) Hitachino Nest White Ale

This Japanese-made Belgian-style witbier is the perfect choice for fans of Allagash White. Brewed with ale yeast, wheat, flaked wheat, torrified wheat, as well as Perle, Celleia, Amarillo, and Styrian Goldings hops. This popular beer gets extra flavor from the addition of not only coriander and orange peel but also nutmeg and orange juice.

Tasting Notes:

A nose of bready malts, yeast, sweet wheat, orange zest, tangerine, and gentle wintry spices greets you before your first sip. Drinking it reveals notes of bready malts, yeast, sweet wheat, lemon zest, orange peels, coriander, cloves, fruit esters, and other light spices. It’s filled with citrus goodness.

Bottom Line:

While it has the classic witbier spice element, it’s heavy (in a good way) on citrus aromas and flavors.

5.) St. Bernardus Wit

ABV: 5.5%

Average Price: $19 for a 750ml bottle

The Beer:

If you’re looking for a classic Belgian witbier, you can’t go wrong with St. Bernardus Wit. The highly-rated witbier is loaded with sweet malty flavors as well as coriander, orange peels, and gentle spices. It’s as well-balanced as a wheat beer gets. What do you expect from a classic Belgian beer?

Tasting Notes:

Complex notes of funky yeast, bready malts, ripe bananas, orange peel, clove, coriander, cracked black pepper, and light fruit esters. The palate is a mix of yeasty bread, sweet malts, orchard fruits, esters, bananas, pepper, coriander, and clove. The finish is lightly floral, and hoppy, and has just a hint of pleasant bitterness.

When it comes to balance and overall flavor, you can do much worse than St. Bernardus Wit. This is an outstanding beer.

3.) Jolly Pumpkin Blanca

ABV: 4.8%

Average Price: $14 for a 750ml bottle

The Beer:

Also known as Calabaza Blanca, Jolly Pumpkin Blanca is a farmhouse-style witbier crafted to taste like the traditional Belgian beers that came before it. It’s sweet, tart, dry, and perfectly spiced. This is due to being brewed with Tettnang hops, pilsner malt, wheat malt, and raw wheat as well as coriander, sweet orange peel, and bitter orange peel.

A lot is going on with this beer’s nose. It’s kind of funky, yeasty, and filled with sweet wheat aromas. There are also notes of cracked black pepper, coriander, and candied orange peels.

An upcoming documentary follows Bruce Springsteen And The E-Street on their 2023-2024 world tour. Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band is set to premiere on Disney+ and Hulu this fall.

Road Diary will offer fans a look into Springsteen‘s creative process, as well as the work that went into putting the tour together. Fans will also see the band perform several songs on stages around the world, for audiences of tens of thousands. The documentary will contain footage of band rehearsals and special moments backstage, as well as talking head conversations from Springsteen himself.

According to a press release, the conversations “follow Springsteen closely as he develops the story he wants to tell with this tour’s setlist — interspersed with rare archival clips of The E Street Band, underscoring themes of life, loss, mortality and community. In this way, it serves as an essential and never-before-seen chapter in an autobiographical series spanning Springsteen’s memoir Born To Run, Springsteen On Broadway, and the films Western Stars and Letter To You.”

Road Diary was directed by Thom Zimny, who directed the aforementioned films, and has frequently worked with the band over the years.

The documentary is set to premiere in October on Disney+ and Hulu.

Earlier this week, we wrote about the “most unnecessary sex scene in a movie,” which is, in fact, the most necessary sex scene in a movie. If Jason Statham‘s adrenaline-junkie Crank character Chev Chelios (what a fantastic collection of words) doesn’t have sex with Amy Smart as she’s bent over a mailbox in public while a crowd cheers them on, he’ll literally die.

The (sigh) discourse around (double sigh) sex scenes in movies brought a lot of overdue attention to Crank and its batsh*t sequel, Crank: High Voltage, which has an equally memorable — and necessary — sex scene. As X user @Douggernaut_2 wrote, “was super heartening to see everyone go ‘No this sex scene is actually super necessary’ in response to the Crank scene. but i must remind everyone that the sequel’s sex scene is even better. amy smart super underrated in these ‘Give the kitty some more cream!’ is so gd funny.”

Fair warning: this scene is more NSFW than the Crank clip.

Back in 2006, Statham was asked about having sex in public in the original Crank. “I was concentrating on what I was up to,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “I mean, the most challenging thing was because it was uncharted territory for me. I’ve done a lot of things in action films, but I’ve never had to do what we had to do in this movie, me and Amy [Smart, his costar]. Oh god! I have to take my hat off to her because you know she really did indulge herself, with no princely attitude — she was really game!”

You can see reactions to the Crank: High Voltage racetrack scene — tied for the most necessary sex scene in a movie? — below.

Crank: High Voltage is available to stream on Max.

PSA: We’re just days away from Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas!

As the largest electronic dance music festival in North America, EDC Las Vegas will once again return to the Las Vegas Speedway to host over 230 global dance music icons across its multiple stages. Starring hitmakers Zedd, Tiësto, David Guetta, John Summit, FISHER, Kaskade, Diplo, Deadmau5, Peggy Gou, and more, this weekend will be one for the books.

EDC Las Vegas is slated to bring in over half a million attendees to experience Insomniac’s flagship festival. Those in attendance can expect larger-than-life programming across its nine music stages, all of which represent a distinct union of technology and nature — where elements mix to ignite the senses and inspire the imagination: kineticFIELD, cosmicMEADOW, circuitGROUNDS, neonGARDEN, bassPOD, wasteLAND, quantumVALLEY, stereoBLOOM, bionicJUNGLE, and EDC’s famed roaming Art Cars.

Knowing there’s no carnival without rides, EDC will once again host an oversized playground. There’s also the art, where attendees will be able to explore a world of three-dimensional superstructures, LED environments, and immersive art installations.

Then there’s Downtown EDC. As the festival’s “buzzing entertainment area,” Downtown EDC will welcome a slew of characters throughout its Kandi Kasino, Good Times (70s style disco party), YeeDC Saloon, The Queen (drag bar), Chapel of Technology and Chapel of Nature (because who wouldn’t want to get hitched here?!), Marry Me at EDC to honor non-legal ceremonies among lovers and friends, and more.

At this point, if you think festivals only offer a landscape for partying, you’re out of touch. As seen throughout our experiences at Envision Festival, Texas Eclipse, Deep Tropics, and Sacred Acre, festivals serve as a safe space for those wanting top-tier party programming while staying true to themselves. This year, EDC Las Vegas will host several new art installations, including The Hiyo House. Nestled within Camp EDC, this space will serve sober-curious attendees with free samples of Hiyo, the festival’s premiere non-alcoholic social tonic, paired with photo opportunities, aura readings, and more.

With that said, if you’re starting to pack for this weekend but need some motivation from EDC artist themselves, we’ve got you covered. We tapped some of our favorite artists performing on the stereoBLOOM stage to tell us their essentials for the festival, how far they’re traveling, their most-anticipated performance or happening at EDC, and more.

OMNOM (@imomnom)

What’s your #1 travel & festival essential for EDC Las Vegas?

My Theragun Mini. Last year we walked about 6 miles in a single night at EDCLV. I threw that thing in my backpack last minute as we left our hotel but it actually ended up being so clutch for my legs/back by the end of the night I bring it everywhere now.

What’s something that all fans should pack for EDC?

A massive external battery for your cell phone. EDC goes so much later than most festivals I think a lot of people underestimate how long they’ll actually be in there. And having a dead phone at the end of the night is never fun.

How far are you traveling to get to EDC Las Vegas this year?

Not far, just coming from Los Angeles. No jet lag thankfully.

What is something that everyone should know about EDC Las Vegas before heading inside?

They should know how massive the festival actually is. It’s difficult to put into words and you can’t fully grasp the scale of it until you’re in there. I recommend spending at least a few hours each night just exploring all the different areas of the speedway. There are so many crazy installations hidden away all over the place you’ll definitely make some crazy memories on some side quests.

Besides your own set, what other performance or area of the festival should be on your must-see itinerary?

Eric Prydz, Hamdi, Boys Noize, Eli Brown B2B Hi-Lo, Hedex, Bou, Worship are all must-sees.

What’s your favorite ride at EDC Las Vegas?

I remember the Swings right next to the Stereobloom stage were awesome last time I was out there for EDCLV. You get a such a great view of the nearby stage from above the crowd.

What’s a tip you want to share from your own personal Headliner’s Handbook?

The more fun the people around you are having, the more fun you will have. Everyone’s energy feeds off of each other, so make sure you try to spread a positive vibe wherever you go. Don’t be selfish with your experience and ruin that of others. Understand that everyone around you has been looking forward to this weekend just as long as you have and now you’re all finally at EDC Vegas TOGETHER.

Riordan (@riordan.uk)

What’s your #1 travel & festival essential for EDC Las Vegas?

Sunscreen. Hands down. You have to remember I’m from the UK, I am not used to desert-level heat. If it gets above 60 degrees here everyone has their top off. Without sunscreen I’ll look like a tomato by the time I get on stage, so it’s gotta be a top priority. Just looking at the weather forecast is already making me sweat. Come to think of it, deodorant is a close second.

How far are you traveling to get to EDC Las Vegas this year?

A long way. 5,217 miles to be precise. I’m coming from my home in London and will be flying in the evening before my set, and staying for the whole weekend after. It’s my first EDC and my first time in Vegas so I had to make the most of it. I have accepted that my time zones will be completely messed up, so I may as well party and enjoy it.

Besides your own set, what other performance or area of the festival should be on your must-see itinerary?

There are too many great names to put it down to just one, the lineup is so stacked. But a few artists I cannot miss are Hamdi, Interplanetary Criminal, Jamie Jones, Peggy Gou, and Sidney Charles. I’ve never been to EDC before so I don’t know the stages well at all, but it’s no surprise that wherever the house & UKG is, you will find me.

J.Worra (@jworra)

What’s your #1 travel & festival essential for EDC Las Vegas?

This might seem like common sense, but definitely comfortable shoes. You do a lot of walking at EDC! Additionally, it’s going to reach 100 degrees throughout the weekend so electrolytes are a must.

How far are you traveling to get to EDC Las Vegas this year?

Thankfully not too far this year, I’ll be coming in from Denver.

Besides your own set, what other performance or area of the festival should be on your must-see itinerary?

Sara Landry is a must see.

Honeyluv (@honeyluv)

What’s your #1 travel & festival essential for EDC Las Vegas?

I can’t play my set without my USB.

What’s something that all fans should pack for EDC?

Water is life. Water is your friend.

How far are you traveling to get to EDC Las Vegas this year?

Very far! All the way from London, UK!
