It’s on rare occasion that we get insight into Kevin Parker‘s personal life, but it’s usually good news when we do. The last we heard, Parker’s wife of two years, Sophie Lawrence, announced back in November that they were expecting their first child. Now, Parker has revealed that their baby has been born, meaning he’s officially a first-time father.
The musician didn’t share much about his child, other than the fact that they’re pretty dang cute. He posted a peaceful photo of his newborn baby, who already has a head full of hair, wrapped up in lavender-colored blankets. “look at this peach,” he wrote alongside the picture.
When Lawrence first announced her pregnancy, she noted that the baby was due in January. That means either the baby came late, or it’s already more than a month old, as Parker’s photo marks the first public announcement of their child’s birth.
Now that Parker has a baby, it’s time for him to cue the baby-friendly music. Thankfully, the Australian children’s musical group The Wiggles has got baby Parker covered. Earlier this month, The Wiggles debuted a cover of Tame Impala’s “Elephant,” which transforms the psych-rock tune into a jovial, keytar-heavy track.
Attacks on Asian-Americans and Pacific-Islanders (AAPI) have been highlighted by advocacy groups since early in the pandemic, but it took nearly a year for the incidents to start receiving the broad media coverage they deserve. Despite stunning statistics in the rise in anti-Asian sentiment, discrimination, and violence, it’s taken vicious attacks on Asian-American elders and a horrific shooting spree of Asian-American women to get the nation’s full attention.
A killing spree at three spas in the Atlanta area left eight people dead, including six women of Asian descent, last night. Details are still emerging, but we know that the shooter was a white man who loved guns and who purposely and premeditatedly targeted these businesses, driving dozens of miles between shootings at three different spas. We know that Asian-Americans make up around 3% of the population of Georgia and 75% of the victims of this shooting. We know that the killer blamed a sex addiction and targeted massage parlors (which are largely staffed by Asian women) because they represented “a temptation.”
The hypersexualization of Asian women plays a HUGE part in the violence we face. I’ve been cornered on the street a… https://t.co/rjDjlDNBsj
And we know that these shootings add another frightening layer to skyrocketing attacks on people of Asian descent in the U.S.
In February, the death of an 84-year-old Thai man who was violently tackled in his driveway shone a spotlight on the issue in the Bay Area, where a spate of attacks has erupted in recent months. A video of a 91-year-old man being violently shoved to the ground in Oakland prompted actors Daniel Dae Kim and Daniel Wu to offer a reward of $25,000 to anyone who could help identify the attacker. (It turned out police already had him in custody as a suspect for other similar attacks.) A 64-year-old Vietnamese grandmother was assaulted and robbed of $1000 while walking to her car in San Jose as well, and Chinatown businesses have been hit by an alarming increase in robberies.
Amanda Nguyễn, CEO and founder of the civil rights organization Rise, shared a plea on Instagram for people to raise awareness about the increase in anti-AAPI violence last month.
Other kinds of attacks have also made headlines in recent weeks. Mike Nguyen, who owns an Asian restaurant in San Antonio, went on CNN last week to speak out against Texas governor Greg Abbott lifting the state’s mask mandate. Four days later, the front of his restaurant was graffitied with the phrases like “No Mask,” “Kung Flu,” “Commie,” “Hope U Die” and “Ramen Noodle Flu.” Nguyen, whose background is Vietnamese and French, was also greeted with the words “Go Back 2 China” spray-painted on a bench outside the restaurant.
According to NYPD data reported in the Queens Chronicle in September, anti-Asian hate crimes had already increased 1900% from 2019 to 2020 before fall even hit. (In the same time period, anti-Jewish and anti-Black hate crimes in New York had decreased, so it’s not a matter of overall hate crimes increasing.) The Anti-Defamation League reported in June that there had been a “significant” number of reports of harassment and attacks against people in the Asian-American and Pacific Islander community, and the United Nations stated in October that hate crimes against Asian-Americans were happening at “alarming levels,” citing 1800 incidents in just two months, from March to May of 2020.
Throughout the pandemic, there has been an alarming rise in anti-Asian sentiment resulting in violent hate crimes b… https://t.co/DCqL6O5suQ
Reading people’s individual stories, it’s clear that the vast majority of incidents include references to the COVID-19 pandemic. People blame Asian-Americans for the coronavirus—a xenophobic idea that has been inflamed by politicians who insist on calling it the “China virus” or “Kung flu.” (That’s not merely conjecture; Manjusha Kulkarni, executive director of the Asian Pacific Policy and Planning Council said that their data showed that the increase in racist and xenophobic attacks was “catalyzed by rhetoric from the president and other government leadership.”)
In pictures: Hundreds march in US cities against rising anti-Asian hate crimes https://t.co/izc7H12m6G
The AAPI community needs every American of goodwill to step up, speak up, and act to put an end to these attacks. Here are some things everyone can do to help:
– Personally: If you see or hear someone using anti-AAPI language, say something. Don’t let phrases like “China virus” or “Kung Flu” or comments blaming Asian people for the pandemic go unchallenged. Commit to not being a passive bystander, but rather an active disrupter, of harassment when you see it. If you witness an incident, report it at stopaapihate.org.
– Socially: Get to know AAPI members of your community and listen to their concerns. Raise awareness by following and sharing the hashtag #StopAAPIHate on social media. Speak out about Anti-Asian hate crimes and share positive stories about people from the AAPI community as well.
– Educationally: Seek out information about the kinds of discrimination people in the AAPI community face. Click on the links from this article or simply Google terms like “Anti-Asian” and “AAPI hate crimes.” If you’re a parent, teach your kids how to recognize when their peers are engaging in anti-Asian jokes or behavior and how to be an ally.
– Organizationally: Make sure your workplace and organizations you’re a part of are committed to protecting AAPI members of your community from harassment. This PDF from the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance put together has specific action items employers and organizations can use as a guide.
– Monetarily: Buy from AAPI-owned businesses, many of which have suffered during the pandemic both from economic loss and discriminatory attacks. Support AAPI advocacy and anti-discrimination organizations such as iHollaback! (an anti-harassment organization that provides free bystander intervention training) or the National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development (a coalition of more than 100 organizations advocating for AAPI communities). Keep an eye out for crowdfunding efforts for individual victims of hate crimes.
– Democratically: Reach out to your local, state, and national government representatives to voice your support for the AAPI community and ask them to denounce xenophobic rhetoric in politics. Learn about the president’s plan for the AAPI community and push him to take action on those commitments. Elevate the voices of elected officials from the AAPI community and those who speak up against anti-AAPI discrimination.

Good news, California Disney nerds! Beginning April 30th, 2021 Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure theme park will finally reopen for the first time in over a year. Both parks will severely limit park attendance in accordance with state requirements and will make some changes to the usual Disney experience in order to continue to promote safe social distancing. There will also be a new theme park reservation system, which requires guests to seek a park reservation before they can purchase a valid admission ticket.
That’s not all that’s changing, either. Here’s what you can expect if you want to go to Disneyland this spring:
Just announced! Magic is finally returning to the Disneyland Resort theme parks! Disneyland Park & Disney California Adventure Park are planning to officially reopen to California Residents on April 30, with limited capacity. Details on @DisneyParks Blog: https://t.co/B1Rk2iAtmvpic.twitter.com/BkD9Cq2MKh
As of the reopening date, both theme parks will only be open to residents of California, so if you’re out of state and itching to go to Disneyland, you’re still going to have to wait.
Beginning April 30th, Disneyland and the California Adventure park will be operating at a reduced 15% capacity, which sounds like heaven if you’ve ever been to Disneyland and had your shoes repeatedly run-over by insane Disney parents shuttling their children to the next photo opportunity. Those hoping to enter the park will have to obtain a reservation in advance of their arrival.
All guests 3 years old and up (ruthless) will need to present both a park reservation and an admission ticket showing the same date in order to be let into the park. As of now, details about the reservation system are scarce, and ticket sales are currently paused to resume at a later undisclosed date.
Those experiencing fevers, a cough, difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle aches, headaches, sore throats, loss of taste or smell, or experiencing congestion or a runny nose are not welcome in the park.
Face Masks/Temperature Checks
All guests, cast members, and employees will be required to bring and wear face coverings for the entire duration of their trips, unless drinking or eating. This means, yes, you need to wear your mask on the rides, even Space Mountain. Those drinking and eating anything will have to remain stationary until their food is finished in order to ensure social distancing.
Face masks must be made of two layers of breathable material, neck gaiters, open-chin bandanas, and masks with valves, mesh material, or holes are unacceptable. All guests and employees entering the park must undergo a temperature screening, anyone reading at or above 100.4F will not be allowed to enter.
Increased Sanitation
Disneyland and California Adventure park will up their cleanliness procedures, paying extra attention to elevators, escalators, handrails, benches, tables, handles, and restrooms, and hand-washing and sanitation stations will be spread throughout the park.
Because park capacity has been greatly reduced, ride lines will feature ground markings to facilitate social distancing and physical barriers have been added throughout the park in areas where social distancing is particularly difficult.
The Disneyland App & Misc. Info
Guests are advised to be ready to use the Disneyland app in order to facilitate a hands-free experience in the park, which will include cashless transactions. Attractions throughout the parks that draw large gatherings — like the electric light parade or fireworks show — will be temporarily suspended. Character meet-and-greets will also be unavailable.
Disneyland will continue to update reopening guidelines as we get closer to April 30th. Follow the news here.
Just a few days ago, Brittany Howard took home a Grammy for Best Rock Song for her track “Stay High” off her debut solo album Jaime. Now, the singer continues to share music from her acclaimed album by appearing on Tuesday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform a soulful rendition of her track “Short And Sweet.”
Howard gave the moving performance in Nashville’s The Sanctuary, a church-turned-studio featuring wooden pews and stained glass windows. The studio version of the song puts her vocals at the forefront of the track, assisting them with subdued melodies from a guitar. Howard performs the song in a similar manner, joined by only an acoustic guitar and her powerhouse vocals.
Ahead of appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Howard teamed up with Coldplay’s Chris Martin to share a captivating rendition of “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” a cover of the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein song, at the Grammys. The performance was a way for both the musicians to celebrate their Grammy nominations. Though Howard took home the Best Rock Song trophy, she was also nominated for four other awards including Best Rock Performance, Best Engineered Album Non-Classical, Best American Roots Performance, and Best R&B Performance. Martin, on the other hand, was up for Album Of The Year for Coldplay’s Everyday Life, but the award ended up going to Taylor Swift.
Watch Howard perform “Short And Sweet” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! above.
If “Dinner Party” isn’t the most uncomfortable episode of The Office, it’s in second place after “Scott’s Tots.” But that discomfort is what makes it arguably the funniest and best episode of the show. In the latest episode of the Office Ladies podcast, co-hosts Jenna Fischer (Pam) and Angela Kinsey (Angela) discussed “Dinner Party,” including the one scene that they had a hard time shooting because they were laughing so hard.
“Dinner Party,” written by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky and directed by Paul Feig, first aired on April 10, 2008. I can still remember howling when Michael proudly shows his dinky plasma TV to Jim and Pam. “I actually hung this on the wall myself.” So good. So sad. Fischer had a hard time keeping it together, too, as she explained on the podcast.
“There are two times when I laughed so hard on our show that I thought I wasn’t going to ever recover. This was one of them,” she said (via Mashable). “Tears [were] streaming down our face.” I need to know what the other scene was. It probably wasn’t when Creed briefly filled in as regional manager, but it should have been.
John Krasinski (Jim) also recalled what it was like filming “Dinner Party”:
“When we got to the moment with the television, I think there was an energy in the room that was overwhelming. I was already quaking with laughter. It wouldn’t have taken much for me to laugh, and then throw in maybe one of my favorite jokes in the entire show. I remember at the table read laughing. But then to see Steve again with that beaming face of pride just turn to us and say, ‘You won’t believe what what I have. And also look what it can do.’”
You can listen to the entire Office Ladies episode below.
In a historic first for Marvel Comics, a new gay Captain America will debut during Pride Month as the comics giant expands its increasingly diverse roster of characters. Known as the “Captain America of the Railways,” Aaron Fischer will make his first appearance in The United States of Captain America #1, a new series that will explore “everyday people from all walks of life who’ve taken up the mantle of Captain America to defend their communities.” In the young Fischer’s case, the LGBTQ+ hero does his best to protect runaways and homeless teens even though he doesn’t possess the powers of Steve Rogers’ super-soldier serum.
“Aaron is inspired by heroes of the queer community: activists, leaders, and everyday folks pushing for a better life,” [Aaron Fischer creator Aaron] Trujillo said in a statement. “He stands for the oppressed, and the forgotten. I hope his debut story resonates with readers, and helps inspire the next generation of heroes.”
Considering the new comic series follows Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson (The Falcon), and John Walker (U.S. Agent) taking a road trip to find Cap’s missing shield, it sounds like Aaron Fischer will get a chance to meet his inspiration when the first issue hits in June.

The announcement of Aaron Fischer arrives just as the Marvel Cinematic Universe is getting ready to go big on a diverse change to Captain America. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will focus on Anthony Mackie’s Falcon as he questions whether he’s willing to wield Cap’s shield following the events of Avengers: Endgame, and more importantly, whether America is ready to accept a Black Captain America if he does rise to the challenge.
Earlier this week, Rhye’s Mike Milosh faced some serious allegations from his ex-wife, actress Alexa Nikolas, who in a lengthy series of Instagram posts accused him of sexual assault, physical abuse, grooming, and financial manipulation. Now, a few days later, Milosh has offered a response.
Milosh shared a statement with Spin, which begins, “For as long as I can remember, I’ve always strongly supported women and their right to speak out and be heard. That is why the false claims made by my former wife had been so hurtful and shocking to me.” He went on to claim that Nikolas decided to speak out about him after he stopped supporting her financially: “I have always wished her nothing but the best and continued to support her financially even after I was no longer required to under our divorce agreement. Eventually, I stopped paying [and] in response, Alexa has resorted to character assassination.”
He also called Nikolas’ posts about him “a piece of revisionist fiction” and continued, “These are absurd and outrageous false claims about me that a media outlet has published and repeated falsehoods are beyond irresponsible — it’s defamatory.”
Milosh concluded his statement, “I reiterate that these accusations are outrageously false and the manipulated stories provably untrue. I’m fully prepared to cooperate with any independent investigation into these false claims and look forward to being cleared of all the shameless mirrors.”
After her initial set of posts, Nikolas shared a follow-up post yesterday. In it, she shares some stories from other women who claim to have also had negative experiences with Milosh. She wrote, “3 days after releasing my open letter I have received countless private messages about patterns of abuse and sexual violence inflicted by Milosh. It is extremely disheartening and disgusting. I am currently in the process of consoling and speaking to these individuals. I am not surprised that his cruel behavior was exhibited before, during, and after our marriage. […] This is serious. All of these women deserve justice.”
Read Milosh’s full statement below.
“For as long as I can remember, I’ve always strongly supported women and their right to speak out and be heard.
That is why the false claims made by my former wife had been so hurtful and shocking to me. Alexa and I were married for nearly seven years. Like all marriages we had our difficulties and [sic] tempted to weather them together as best we could. Ultimately, despite our best efforts, we agreed to divorce. I loved her very much and we shared many special years before our marriage ended. I have always wished her nothing but the best and continued to support her financially even after I was no longer required to under our divorce agreement. Eventually, I stopped paying [sic] in response, Alexa has resorted to character assassination.
However, regarding my ex-wife’s recent Instagram post and its listed as serious and demonstratable untrue accusations, it’s simply a piece of revisionist fiction. These are absurd and outrageous false claims about me that a media outlet has published and repeated falsehoods are beyond irresponsible — it’s defamatory.
I can only stay the unvarnished truth. Alexa came to Berlin several months after her 18th birthday and we spent a week hanging out enjoying the city taking photographs that she eventually used as her IMDb listing headshot and modeling photos. We fell in love. I visited the following fall and she lived with me in Berlin the following summer but ultimately said she couldn’t live in Germany as her career and life were based in Los Angeles so I moved to Los Angeles for love, for her, for us. This is a story that has been documented extensively around the release of my first record.
Our art photography collaborations continued before and during our marriage, we had a Gallery exhibition of the photos I took of Alexa and she was proudly featured on the cover of my album.
I’ve done many interviews about my songs the lyrics and what inspired them many about love relationships and sensuality.
My life is a touring musician and the pressures of travel and life on the road ultimately took its toll on our marriage and I’m sorry she came to feel my professional life has had a negative impact on her and our life together. Alexa had her own demons and I did my best to be a good husband in trying to overcome them. In the end, we could not help each other.
We were married for nearly seven years before the divorce decree was finalized.
We filed for divorce using a mediator who arrived at a fair settlement and processes the documents. Neither of us engaged individual divorce attorneys and there is no courtroom drama. Even after all of my alimony obligations, I continued to send money when she said she needed it for car repairs, moving deposits, back taxes, creative projects at her many requests.
I’ve tried to be supportive and help out when repeatedly asked but at a certain point, I was not able to provide any additional financial support things seemed to have taken an abrupt change thereafter. Now I am being hit with horrific and spiteful lies.
I reiterate that these accusations are outrageously false and the manipulated stories provably untrue. I’m fully prepared to cooperate with any independent investigation into these false claims and look forward to being cleared of all the shameless mirrors.”
With anticipation for his new album Justice reaching its peak, Justin Bieber delivers a stripped-down, at-home Tiny Desk Concert to preview one of the most eagerly anticipated songs from the upcoming album. Although Daniel Caesar and Giveon were unable to appear, fans get to hear a version of “Peaches” featuring Justin on keys and some light scratching from his DJ, Jay James. The performance also opens with a Chance The Rapper-less version of “Holy” and features “Hold On” and “Anyone,” also from Justice.
Justin previously revealed the latter two songs during the months-long rollout for his new album, debuting “Anyone” in a livestream concert for Spotify and releasing a neo-noir-styled music video for “Hold On.” He also later released a video for “Anyone,” harkening to classic boxing dramas in a narrative video that required three hours of makeup to hide his tattoos. “Holy” is, of course, the best-known track he performs here, after Justin used the new song and its cinematic music video to usher in a “new era” back in September of 2020. He also performed the song during his October appearance on Saturday Night Live and offered an acoustic remix with an accompanying, bare-bones video. Now, the wait is nearly at its end; Justice drops 3/19 via Def Jam.
As the NBA trade deadline approaches, Golden State is thought to be among the more aggressive buyers in the league, sitting ninth in the Western Conference and having struggled to put together a consistent stretch of high-level basketball all season.
A new report from Wes Goldberg at The Mercury News indicates that while we should expect Golden State to survey the trade market extensively, the team is not expected to include rookie James Wiseman in any deal unless it yields a “perennial All-Star” in return. The team, Goldberg reports, is “committed to Wiseman.” This also applies for their most valuable bit of draft capital: The Minnesota Timberwolves’ first-round pick that is top-3 protected in 2021 and unprotected in 2022.
Wiseman is scoring nearly 12 points per game on 53 percent shooting from the field and grabbing six rebounds per contest, in addition to the exciting bursts of athleticism and three-point shooting we’ve seen from time to time. Down the line, the Warriors will likely want him to get to the free throw line more and continue to develop within their strict offensive and defensive schemes, but Wiseman has impressed without a doubt.
As Goldberg notes in the piece, there aren’t many players expected to be available this year who fit the “perennial All-Star” mold. There’s Nikola Vucevic, who is a questionable fit in Golden State, and then longshots like Zach LaVine and Bradley Beal.
Of course, with Andrew Wiggins and Kelly Oubre Jr. on the roster, the Warriors have the salary flexibility to pull off a trade for a high-priced star, but it seems fairly unlikely that any of those three All-Stars actually moves at the deadline, whether the Warriors would include Wiseman or not.
While St. Patrick’s Day is a great day to get reacquainted with bangers and mash, corned beef and cabbage, shepherd’s pie, and pot-still distilled Irish whiskey, it’s really best known for beer. And while dry Irish stouts like Guinness lead the charge, Irish (and Irish-style) beers are more than simply rich, robust, dark, espresso and chocolate malt bombs.
There are also delicious red ales, lagers, and more. Have you tried an Irish Cream Ale? Today might be the day.
To find the best beer options for St. Paddy’s, we asked the professionals behind the bar what they’ll be tipping back today. Their picks are wide-ranging, along with the usual suspects getting plenty of love.
I love Irish Red Ales. So I would suggest The Porterhouse Brewing Company’s Red Ale if you can find it. It’s fruity with a bit of malty caramel, which makes it a truly unique choice.
Smithwick’s Irish Red Ale. The quintessential Irish ale, Smithwick’s has a distinctive ruby red color and a malty sweetness without the hop bitterness that is so prevalent with many beers on the market today. Teaming up Smithwick’s and BBQ dishes may be one of the greatest food pairings I’ve ever had.
Outside of Guinness, I really enjoy Murphy’s Irish Stout when I walk into a bar on St. Patrick’s Day. It’s similar in body style but is a little less bitter coffee than Guinness and a little more toffee and vanilla flavored.
Emily Wang, bartender, and co-owner of Fermly in Denver
Horse and Dragon Brewing Company’s Fire Captain Irish Red Ale is a brilliant malty beer for a great cause. A classically crafted beer with malt-forward sweetness with the perfect balance of hops to smooth it all out.
A portion of the proceeds goes to the Firefighter Community Compassion Fund, which is used to provide immediate assistance to families in need during emergencies.
Austin Zimmer, bartender at Le Privé in New York City
The Beamish Irish Stout. This beer got a great combination of comforting flavors of dark chocolate and coffee. Even if It has been around for a long time, the Beamish stout is still one of my traditional favorites.
I enjoy a cold Guinness literally any day (especially St. Patrick’s Day), which is a must for some of us. It has a malty sweetness and a hoppy bitterness, with notes of coffee and chocolate. Its palate is smooth, creamy, and balanced.
Joseph Fredrickson, bartender at Society Lounge in Cleveland
Kilkenny Irish Cream ale. This is a nitrogen Irish cream ale. It gives that creamy texture and cascade that Guinness is known for, but with more of a caramel crisp tone that I find goes way better with a serving of bangers and mash than a traditional stout.
Evan Charest, bartender and director of operations at Mercantile Hospitality in Los Angeles
Oh, how hard life must be to be an Irish beer not named Guinness. Don’t get me wrong, I love Guinness — but I also love O’Hara’s. Full-bodied, creamy with a robust coffee flavor. Still made in Ireland and stays true to traditional stouts.
When it comes to St. Patrick’s Day beers, most people immediately go for Guinness draught. But I prefer Guinness Extra Stout. Subtly bitter with a chocolate and coffee finish. Nice foam, too.
Lough Gill’s Round the Clock is an amazing coffee stout with a lot more richness and complexity than Guinness or Murphy’s stouts. Besides the chocolate and coffee flavors that you would expect from the style, dried fruits, earthy, caramel, and anise notes make for an intriguing sip.
Average Price: Currently Sold Out
Writer’s Picks:
Great Lakes Conway’s Irish Ale
Great Lakes
This 6.3% ale is perfectly suited to be paired with all of your favorite St. Patrick’s Day fare. Its caramel sweetness and rich malty flavor work well with salty, savory, rich foods like bangers or corned beef.
If stouts aren’t your thing, a great option for St. Patrick’s Day drinking is Harp Lager. This sessionable lager is your best choice if you’re planning to drink a few beers on March 17th. It’s crisp, subtly creamy, and has a nice, citrus hop presence.
