Snoop Dogg has the voice for West Coast for decades. Now, the “Missionary” rapper is using the award-winning voice and his resources to aid his fellow Californians.

As fires continues to cause total devastation across Los Angeles County, Snoop Dogg revealed that he has turned his clothing store (Snoop Dogg’s Clothing) into temporary donation center to support survivors of the LA Fires. Snoop and his team are looking to gather the necessities for evacuees. Over the past two days, the store (located at 905a S Prairie Avenue in Inglewood) has collected hundreds of items. Due to the overwhelming out pour of support, they’ve been to limit their donation times.

In a statement posted on Snoopy Dogg’s Clothing Instagram page they expressed their gratitude for the community coming together for the cause. “Your support is so important, and we’re grateful to have each of you by our side as we work to help those in need,” read the post.

Snoop Dogg’s Clothing will accept donation until Tuesday, January 14. They are seeking a variety of household supplies, comfort items for young children, undergarments, toiletries, and first aids supplies, but all items must be new and in original packaging. Find more information here.

The Best Budget Blanco Tequilas Under $25, Ranked For The Top Of 2025

tequila_jan_8(1024x450)
Uproxx

There are a lot — and we can’t emphasize this enough — a lot of really affordable bottles of tequila out there that are absolute garbage. We’re talking about stuff we wouldn’t even buy for our worst enemies. The sort of tequila that’ll make you wince no matter how fast you shoot it, burning your throat and turning your stomach.

But underneath the murky waters of bad mixto tequilas (meaning they’re not even 100% agave) and cheaply made bottles, there are a few gems that you can pick up on an absolute budget.

So to kick off a new year or great drinks, we’ve rounded up the 10 best blanco tequilas under $25. Now let us be clear, this isn’t the sort of tequila you bring out to impress friends, or slow sip on a cold night. This is workhorse tequila. The sort of stuff reserved for shots that won’t burn a hole in your wallet. The sort of stuff that you can mix in a cocktail. So if you come here looking for rare additive-free bottles, well… we can’t promise you anything on the “rare” front, but you’ll be surprised to find that there are a few additive-free brands out there that punch way above their price point.

Here are our 10 favorite blanco tequilas under $25, ranked for 2025.

10. Hornitos — Plata

Sauza

ABV: 40%
Price: $21.99

The Tequila:

There is a list of bottom-of-the-barrel tequilas that I think should be avoided at all costs. Hornitos Plata misses that list by just a hair, so we’re ranking this one absolutely last. If none of the other bottles on this list are at your local store, or this one is just on an insane BOGO sale, that’s when you pick it up.

Hornitos Plata is produced NOM 1102, Tequila Sauza, from agave cooked and extracted in a high-pressure autoclave and diffuser, before being fermented in stainless steel tanks, and twice distilled.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: A lot of ethanol on the nose, very chemical and harsh, with some bright lime notes lurking underneath all the muck.

Palate: Agave is joined by harsh alcohol tones, black pepper, and tangerine.

Finish: Vegetal, but equal parts medicinal. There is a chemical finish to this tequila.

The Bottom Line:

Reserve this bottle for big-batch margaritas. It doesn’t have any nuance or deep flavors. It’s a workhorse that is just a hair above low quality mixto bottles like Jose Cuervo.

9. Milagro Silver

Milagro

ABV: 40%
Average Price: $24.99

The Tequila

While Milagro Silver isn’t my go-to choice in the brand’s portfolio, it’s still a simple, bright, and zesty tequila that makes for an ideal candidate for both cocktails and shots. The tequila is produced at NOM 1559, Tequilera Milagro, where it is the only brand in production.

That’s always a great sign, and if you’re fan of traditional tequila production methods, this brand has it. The agave is cooked in stone ovens, extracted via a roller mill, and fermented in stainless steel tanks.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Once again, ethanol on the nose, joined with black pepper and celery.

Palate: The alcohol flavor is much less pronounced than the nose would suggest, instead of getting crushed pepper corn, citrus rind, a bit of white pepper funk, some minerality, with a light vegetal kiss.

Finish: It burns a bit, but underneath the harsher components I can taste the slightest hint of mint.

The Bottom Line:

Very citrus-forward and peppery. If you like your tequila zesty, with some grassy notes, Milagro is a great choice.

8. Gran Centenario Plata

Gran Centenario

ABV: 40%
Price: $23.99

The Tequila:

For the price, it’s surprising just how agave forward Gran Centenario Plata is. The tequila serves as an ideal bottle for cocktails, bringing a lot of earthy and mellow flavors to your mixed drinks, without any of the burn associated with tequila in this price range.

For those into the stats, the tequila is produced at NOM 1122, Casa Cuervo, from agave slow-cooked in a high-pressure autoclave, roller mill extracted, and twice distilled through a column still.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Mellow, with a heavy dose of roasted agave, wet soil, and cayenne pepper.

Palate: Earthy peppercorn flavors on the palate, all spice, some grassy notes, and a gentle hint of vanilla.

Finish: A citrus note reveals itself on the finish, with some light smoke, and a bit of alcohol burn.

The Bottom Line:

Mellow and earthy, Gran Centenario is very agave-forward and only harsh on the finish.

7. Teremana — Blanco

Tequila
Teremana

ABV: $40%
Price: $23.99

The Tequila:

Kudos to the Rock for offering a celebrity tequila with a price tag under $25. Celebrities get a lot of flack for overcharging for their tequila and basically white labeling their product, but Teremana isn’t that. The tequila is produced at NOM 1613, Destilería Teremana de Agave, where it is the only brand in production. The Rock’s tequila is the only brand that actually hails from its own distillery.

The agave for this tequila is cooked in brick ovens, roller mill extracted, and finished with deep well water.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Surprisingly vegetal at the nose. There is a sharp brightness here. It’s warm and sings the nostrils in the best way.

Palate: A mix of roasted agave and funky notes. There is a hint of citrus here, but sadly, the flavors don’t really bloom.

Finish: The finish falls a bit flat. I’m getting a blunt and bitter flavor with some light vanilla.

The Bottom Line:

Delicate and natural, but not the best tequila in its price range. Still for a celebrity brand, this defies expectations.

6. Lunazul — Tequila Blanco

Tequila
Total Wine

ABV: 40%
Average Price: $18.49

The Tequila:

Lunazul is my go-to bottle when I’m looking for a tequila under $20. Produced at NOM 1513, Tierra De Agaves, this tequila is made from agave that has been hand-harvested, autoclave cooked, roller mill extracted, and mixed with deep well water. It is then fermented with proprietary yeast in stainless steel tanks, and twice distilled through a stainless pot with a copper coil.

If you’re looking for a tequila for shots that is still a bit agave-forward, Lunazul is a great choice.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Soft vanilla tones and roasted agave hover over a heavy alcohol base.

Palate: A nice balance of vegetal notes, green bell pepper, and sour apple skins, with vanilla, earth, and a bit of white pepper.

Finish: Very dry and peppery with a minty finish.

The Bottom Line:

It’s a bit harsh initially, but the finish is dry and peppery, rather than harsh like most tequila in this price range.

5. Espolòn Blanco

Espolon

ABV: 40%

Average Price: $22.99

The Tequila:

Another year, another moment where we’ll be singing the praises of Espolòn. There is a reason this bottle is so popular, for a while it was easily the best-tasting tequila in its price range. Now in 2025 when there are more tequila brands than ever before, its dropped from being the best to being merely very, very good. But hey, when we’re talking about sub $25 prices, we’ll take very very good any day!

Produced at NOM 1440, Campari Mexico, home to just three brands, Espolòn relies on autoclave cooking and roller mill extraction.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: An equal mix of alcohol and juicy citrus. This tequila’s strength isn’t in the nose.

Palate: Espolón really delivers the flavor, I’m tasting charred pineapple notes, some dry lemon grass, roasted agave, and green vegetal notes hovering in the backend.

Finish: Oily and supple with a spicy, fruity finish.

The Bottom Line:

Versatile. Espolòn is the perfect workhorse tequila ideal for any situation.

4. Corazón — Single Estate Tequila Blanco

Tequila
Total Wine

ABV: 40%
Average Price: $22.99

The Tequila:

While not part of Corazón’s premium line, its Single Estate series offers bright and fruity flavors, that make this tequila one of the more complex in this price range.

Produced at NOM 1103, Tequila San Matias de Jalisco, the agave here is cooked low and slow in stone ovens that is roller mill extracted.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: There is a distinct fruity character here, I’m getting juicy pineapple and a mix of citrus.

Palate: That tropical fruit quality translates nicely to the palate with a hint of fresh green pepper, chilies, and a light hint of jasmine.

Finish: A mild spice that mingles nicely with roasted agave and orange zest.

The Bottom Line:

A great introduction to a premium brand, at an affordable price. Corazón’s Single Estate Blanco offers nuanced fruity flavors with a zesty agave-forward finish.

3. Olmeca Altos — Plata

Tequila
Total Wine

ABV: 40%

Average Price: $25.49

The Tequila:

Olmeca Altos covers a lot of the same ground as Espolòn and has a similar flavor profile, but its way less harsh, and much juicier.

Produced at NOM 1111, Pernod Richard Mexico, Olmeca Altos is slow-coked in brick ovens tahona crushed, finished with well water and distilled in copper pots.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: The nose is almost entirely dominated by roasted agave.

Palate: Heavy on the citrus zest, both orange and lime, mixed with fresh green peppers with a slight lactic quality.

Finish: Initially herbal and smooth but after a while the heat starts to build.

The Bottom Line:

Olmeca Altos is wonderfully earthy, zesty, and agave-forward.

2. El Tequileño — Tequila Blanco

Tequila
Total Wine

ABV: 40%
Average Price: $24.99

The Tequila:

El Tequileño is an interesting brand because while you’ll find a lot of its bottles in affordable price ranges, its higher-end expressions are some of the best in the market. Few brands have this sort of price diversity, so we appreciate El Tequileño for offering good tequila for drinkers of every budget.

The tequila is produced at NOM 1108, Jorge Salles Cuervo y Sucesores, where it is the only brand in production. The agave is cooked in a high-pressure autoclave, roller mill extracted, and mixed with spring water.

Surprisingly, this affordable bottle is additive-free, which is a rarity in this category.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Warm apple tones and citrus, over a heavy ethanol base.

Palate: Brown sugar, vanilla, and cardamom, with some juicy orange flavors.

Finish: A bright agave finish, with a smooth vanilla aftertaste, and just a hint of oak surprisingly.

The Bottom Line:

A bright natural-tasting agave forward tequila with a smooth dessert-like finish.

1. Arette — Tequila Blanco

Tequila Shots
Arette

ABV: 40%
Average Price: $21.99

The Tequila:

One of the few tequilas that is additive-free on this list, Arette is our pick for the best bottle you can score in this price range. This bottle boasts agave-forward flavors, and a natural blend of vegetal, spicy, and earthy flavors with a wonderful finish that’ll pull you in for drink after drink.

The tequila is produced at NOM 1107, Tequila Arette de Jalisco, and is made from agave cooked in a high-pressure autoclave, roller mill extracted, and mixed with deep well water, giving it a palpable minerality.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: A wet earthy quality leads the way before blooming into warm and comforting agave notes.

Palate: A bit salty with a mix of citrus and vegetal flavors. There is a very natural quality to this tequila with a nice green grass and wet soil flavor.

Finish: Spicy, earthy and dry.

The Bottom Line:

Arette is very natural tasting and agave-forward with a wonderful and nuanced vegetal quality. Easily comes across like a bottle in the $35+ range.

Ethel Cain Doubled Down On Her Controversial ‘Kill More CEOs’ Statement, Despite Pushback

Ethel Cain 2024 SummerStage NYC (1024x437)

Ethel Cain wears many creative titles including singer, songwriter, and producer (as heard across her recent album Perverts). However, critics have slapped the “Punish” musician with another not so flattering label–extremist.

Over the weekend, Cain slammed corruption among election officials on Instagram, writing: “Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.”

Although many agreed with her comment aimed at the NRA, oil and insurance companies, Cain’s Instagram Story hashtag (#KillMoreCEOs) has sparked pushback from users online in light of the assassination of United Healthcare’s CEO Brian Thompson.

In a follow-up statement, Ethel Cain unapologetically doubled down on her initial remarks despite the pushback. Read her response below.

I genuinely mean what I say. Corporations giggle at protesting. Why would anyone ever willingly come down off their throne that they’ve spent years building off the suffering of their fellow man?

Nobody is getting visited by the ghost of Christmas future, no one is having a change of heart. It’s simple, you make them fear for their lives and hit them in the only place they hurt or nothing will ever get done. I don’t even see how that’s an incredibly radical idea. It seems quite straightforward to me. ‘Violence is never the answer’ wrong. Sometimes it is.

The world is burning, and it’s very clear who’s holding the matches.

Ariana Grande Explained Why She Scrapped Her ‘Mini-Tour Plans’ For ‘Eternal Sunshine’ Album

Ariana Grande 2025 National Board Of Review Gala (1024x437)

If you want to see Ariana Grande performing live, you can head to your local movie theater. Although fans of the “Boy Is Mine” singer are raving about her Wicked showing, they want more. In fact, Grande promised them such.

Back in July 2024, Grande teased that she would embark on a mini-tour for Eternal Sunshine. However, after promotional obligations for Wicked picked up steam, Grande quickly abandoned those plans. During a conversation with Variety (captured by Pop Crave), Ariana Grande explained why she decided to scrap the show plans.

“I was considering a mini-tour between the ‘Wicked’ films,” she said. “But I’ve decided to prioritize acting for now. Performing will always be a part of my life, but I want to focus on this chapter of storytelling through film.”

Last confirmation seemingly comes after a technical issue on Ticketmaster led fans to believe the concert plans had been revived. Shortly, after the website mistakenly listed new shows for Grande, her label, Republic, quickly corrected the error with a formal statement.

“There are no plans for a tour next year,” commented a report for the company. “But Ariana remains deeply appreciative of her fans and all their continued love, support, and excitement.”

The ‘Peaky Blinders’ Movie: Everything To Know So Far About Cillian And The Gang’s Return That ‘Won’t Be The End’ (Update Jan. 2025)

peaky blinders
BBC/Caryn Mandabach Productions/Netflix

For those who wondered how Cillian Murphy would have time to appear in both the Peaky Blinders movie and 28 Years Later, well, there’s been a development. Last week, word arrived that the latter project counts him as an executive producer, but his Jim character will not appear onscreen. Tommy Shelby OBE fans need not worry, though. By Order Of The Peaky Fookin’ Blinders, Tommy remains alive, and Cillian will be front and center in this film. Creator Stephen Knight’s gangster show is making “six seasons and a movie” happen long before Community will, and after the movie took the gang back to Birmingham, Knight has been talking, so let’s get caught up on what to expect.

Release Date

Filming wrapped on December 19, 2024. Netflix celebrated the occasion with a photo (taken by Robert Viglasky) of Cillian in character as Tommy alongside newcomer Barry Keoghan. What will this mean for release timing? When quizzed on a precise date, Steven Knight told Deadline that “it’s a bit too soon for that,” but he added, “you can sort of work out that it will be about a year.” It sounds like we could have a Very Peaky Christmas for The Immortal Man, which still appears to be the film’s title.

FYI before that happens, Knight devotees can also drink in A Thousand Blows (with Hayden Stagg actor Stephen Graham) and perhaps House Of Guinness, too. Knight is a busy guy, but Tommy Shelby is clearly top priority.

Cast

Netflix/BBC

We have been keeping a running list of who will and won’t be back for this movie, but to sum up confirmed names, TV cast returns include Stephen Graham (as Hayden Stagg), Sophie Rundle (as Ada Shelby Thorne), Ned Dennehy (Charlie Strong), Ian Peck (Curly), and Packy Lee (Johnny Dogs). We probably will not be seeing Paul Anderson since there has been radio silence on that issue following legal issues for the Arthur Shelby actor.

Those who will almost certainly return but haven’t been explicitly confirmed are Sam Claflin (as Sir Oswald Mosely, fascist/Hitler ally) and Tom Hardy (as Alfie Solomons), who has expressed interest in returning and even did some trolling (he called it “punting”) for good measure. Bringing Alfie back in a WWII-set story could line the Jewish gangster back up in another plot to target Mosely, and although Alfie repeatedly betrayed Tommy (and you know, the whole shooting thing happened), their irresistible dynamic feels necessary to revisit, if only for a few scenes.

New additions will include Tim Roth, Rebecca Ferguson, and Barry Keoghan with the latter heavily speculated to be portraying (and multiple hints support that theory) Duke Shelby, Tommy’s illegitimate son who surfaced in the show’s sixth season and rightfully helped push Finn out the door.

Plot

Netflix/BBC

Credit goes to Netflix and BBC (as well as Knight, Murphy, and everybody else involved) for keeping the plot so hush hush. Initially, Murphy assured the show’s audience that, “Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me,” and “[t]his is one for the fans,” and Knight chimed in, “The country is at war, and so, of course, are our Peaky Blinders.”

More recently, Knight answered to theories that this show would spawn a spin off series, and in doing so, the prolific writer told LA Times that the film will be the beginning of more Shelby family tales:

“I always knew that the story of Tommy and the Shelby family wouldn’t end with Season 6. There is such a huge global appetite for the world of ‘Peaky Blinders,’ and so much more story to tell. I think it was around the end of Season 2 when I felt that the fan base deserved a say in the trajectory of Peaky. I’ve taken the family into World War II, and the movie we have shot is wild, explosive and deeply emotional. Even when the movie is done, there is more to come. Watch this space.”

Knight reinforced this point to Deadline and stressed that the movie “won’t be the end, let me put it that way. I’m not saying none of it.”

Quite possibly, this will be a story where Tommy passes the baton to the future generation (with Duke taking over the criminal side and Charles, if he appears, taking the legitimate reins). Other possibilities include further Tommy and Winston Churchill weirdness and more maneuverings (ideally successful this time) against Oswald Mosley. To ignore either of those options would not make sense during WWII, but how much of the “Shelby family” will we really see? Ava will be on hand, perhaps to clean up a Tommy mess or few, but she’s one of the only survivors of the core group. Polly, John, and Michael are dead, and Arthur remains a mystery (but it doesn’t look good). Lizzie is probably still gone, so it could simply be Tommy and Duke from the Shelbys.

One certainty, however, is that historical accuracy will probably still be gleefully thrown out the door. That could mean that Tommy would succeed in taking out Oswald Mosely (who managed to live until 1980 IRL), long after Tommy killed Billy Kimber (who actually died in 1945 IRL) during the series proper. Heck, maybe Churchill will resign as PM, and Tommy can have the job. It wouldn’t the most ridiculous historical twisting of the Peaky Blinders world, and you know that you’d love to see it.

Trailer

The trailer will be ready when Steven Knight is ready.

In the meantime, you’ll know when it’s Wednesday:

What’s Popular On Streaming Now

Every single week, our TV and film experts will list the most important ten streaming selections for you to pop into your queues. We’re not strictly operating upon reviews or accrued streaming clicks (although yes, we’ve scoured the streaming site charts) but, instead, upon those selections that are really worth noticing amid the churning sea of content. There’s a lot out there, after all, and your time is valuable.

10. Black DovesNetflix series

Whether or not you believe that Keira Knightley can handle a spy story with choreographed martial arts (she can) and wield a weapon (also check) alongside a charming assassin (Ben Whishaw), this series is here to disprove every associated assumption. This show also happens to be the coziest spy series of the season (and there are plenty of competitors) and is the perfect length (six hour long episodes) to not drag out with unnecessary side stories and still leave viewers wanting more. And that second season is already in the works, either as another holiday season arrival or otherwise. That setting really doesn’t matter, just give us more Helen and Sam.

9. Missing YouNetflix series

Harlan Coben’s relatively quiet brand of streaming supremacy (compared to the headline-making Taylor Sheridan, 50 Cent, and Ryan Murphy empires) cannot be stopped. His audience will always tune in to see his mysteries brought to life onscreen, and this limited series also makes the case that dating apps are bad news, even for Missing Persons unit sleuths who have the power to conduct extensive background checks. Wise advice.

8. Shining Vale – Starz series streaming on Max

This Warner Bros. TV series was cancelled last year by Starz after two seasons, but the Courteney Cox and Greg Kinnear-starring series has found life on Max. Does this mean that the series will be miraculously renewed by WBD? Probably not, but that won’t deter people from wondering the answer to that question, so get ready. Cox and Kinnear star as a couple desperate to save their marriage (after he has an affair), so they decide that moving from NYC to Connecticut could solve their issues. Unfortunately, their new Victorian-era abode is haunted as heck by a ghost, and yep, this is a satiric horror comedy series that came naturally for longtime Scream star Cox.

7. American PrimevalNetflix series

A team of creative minds behind Narcos, The Revenant, and Friday Night Lights have come together for this Neo-Western limited series in which Taylor Kitsch and Betty Gilpin go through hell on earth. The year is 1857, and they’re fighting through frigid elements amid the Mountain Meadows Massacre, during which Mormon soldiers killed hundreds of pioneers at the behest of Brigham Young (Kim Coates of Sons Of Anarchy). This clash involves Indigenous nationals also rising up to fight for their own survival within the same contested territory, and this ain’t Yellowstone, but there’s no question that Netflix wants to capture a piece of that pie.

6. Emilia PérezNetflix film

Karla Sofia Gascón, Zoe Saldana, and Selena Gomez shine in one of two enormously successful musicals to release last year (Joker who?) as straight-up talent showcases and messages that will carry beyond theaters and streaming devices. The drama story hails from auteur Jacques Audiard and revolves around about a cartel leader who fakes their own death and emerges as a woman, Emilia Pérez. That’s only the baseline structure, and what unfolds is breathtaking [insert Scorsese meme] cinema.

5. Squid GameNetflix series

Only one more season remains in this survival series before Hwang Dong-hyuk can take an enormous nap. In the meantime, meditation exists, which could also benefit Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae). In all seriousness, Netflix pulled off a strong sophomore season, which was surely an intimidating feat after the stratospheric worldwide success of this show’s debut. Further ambitiousness from the whole team will bring the third season later this year.

4. The SubstanceMubi movie

Demi Moore’s speech at the Golden Globes has boosted her into Oscar nomination territory, where she already should have been, but let’s face it, that wasn’t guaranteed. If that nomination becomes official in the coming weeks, the theme of this movie will have reached some ears, and that’s what Demi’s speech was geared towards doing. Even without consideration for awards, this body horror movie is still a hell of a watch, and there is never a reason to ever turn down watching a Margaret Qualley performance. Just do it.

3. The PittMax series

ER star Noah Wyle dons the scrubs again to further prove that there can never be too many dramas that take place in fast-paced medical settings. This series arrives with the narrative gimmick of taking place “real time” over an hour each episode at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital’s ER. In line with the IRL trials faced by healthcare professionals, there should be no shortage of stories to tell in this 15 episode season. That is one long-ass shift, and only one of the elements of realism that will be found in this show that hits on everything from the pandemic to the opioid epidemic.

2. LandmanParamount+ series

Season finale time has arrived for Taylor Sheridan’s wildly appealing Billy Bob Thornton vehicle that has volleyed Michelle Randolph into a household name. She will soon be seen in 1923‘s second season, which will follow an entire month without new Sheridan material hitting TV. Rest assured that he’s still got plenty in his pockets, and there’s little chance that Landman won’t also receive a continuation, and hey, this series is also a hoot for those who sit outside Sheridan’s usual target audience. Call it the Billy Bob effect, but the appealing supporting cast (Paulina Chávez, Jon Hamm, Demi Moore, and Michael Peña) only add to the reasons to add this show to the queue.

1. SeveranceApple TV+ series

It’s no surprise when people revisit series that are about to return, but in the case of these Innies and Outies, over three years have passed since the show’s debut, and a whole lot of living has happened since then. So, if you forgot what happened in the series finale, you are not alone; in other words, binge without shame. Creator Dan Erickson and director Ben Stiller will unfurl a new mindf*ck of a season that will include more goats, a snowy retreat, and Gwendoline Christie, who might be on hand to make Lumon seem even more terrifying. Mark, Helly, Irving, and Dylan all remain alive (for now), but Milchick has revealed them as “The Face of Severance Reform,” so watch out.

The Chargers Scored A 4-Point Touchdown After Having The Extra Point Blocked And Returned

chargers-kick-top
CBS

The Los Angeles Chargers came into Saturday afternoon’s Wild Card game in Houston as small favorites over the Texans despite being on the road. However, despite a new regime in charge led by Jim Harbaugh, it appears it will take more than one year to cleanse the organization of whatever curse hangs over them, as they had the kind of game only the Chargers can have in what became a 32-12 blowout loss at the hands of the Texans.

The Chargers dominated most of the first half on both sides of the ball, but couldn’t finish off drives and had just a 6-0 lead to show for their work. That quickly became a 10-6 deficit once CJ Stroud finally got rolling, and things got even worse in the second half. Justin Herbert and the Chargers offense could not figure out how to move the ball consistently against the Houston defense, but the sequence that was the most emblematic of the Chargers existence over the last decade-plus was on their best play of the game and lone touchdown.

Herbert hit rookie sensation Ladd McConkey on 3rd and 26 for what became an incredible 86-yard touchdown that should’ve cut the deficit to 9.

Instead, Cameron Dicker’s extra point got blocked straight up in the air and he inexplicably just kind of swatted it down at Texans defenders, allowing Houston to scoop it up and return it for two points of their own.

Only the Chargers could score what amounted to a 4-point touchdown. Things only got worse from there as the Texans tacked on one more TD for good measure (which was Important To Some, as Al Michaels would say). The Chargers have now made the postseason twice in Justin Herbert’s young career and have two of the most embarrassing Wild Card losses in recent memory to show for it (their second half collapse to the Jaguars remains one of the worst playoff showings I’ve ever seen). Jim Harbaugh might eventually be the coach that can get the stink out of the Chargers, but that is going to require a deep clean because that smell is extremely set in.

Tyga Asked For ‘Freaky Fan Mail’ So Someone Sent The Rapper ‘Dirty’ Panties, Which He Absolutely Hated

Tyga Victorias Secret Fashion Show 2024 (1024x437)

Outside of his notable public relationships (Blac Chyna, Kylie Jenner, and Avril Lavigne), Tyga is a notorious ladies’ man.

Yesterday (January 10), during the “Go Loko” rapper’s livestream one secret admirer proved that. To celebrate the forthcoming 10-year anniversary of his Fan of a Fan: The Album with Chris Brown, Tyga held a celebratory broadcast on Twitch (viewable here). Prior to the online event, Tyga encouraged supported to send in gifts for the segment, Freaky Fan Mail. Well, one fan remained true to theme by sending in a used pair of panties and a bra, which disgusted Tyga.

After opening the package and taking a look inside, he expressed his immediate disinterest. “I don’t even want to touch it,” he said. “I don’t even want to show y’all what’s in this, honestly. I might need some gloves.”

But with viewers begging to know what he received, Tyga reluctantly pushed forward. Eventually, Tyga pulled the bra out, in which the panties were attached. As he began to examine the items more closely, he released the undergarment was supposedly soiled.

“Oh, my God,” he yelled. “These motherf*ckers are dirty. This is actually kind of nasty.”

Although Tyga attempted to laugh it off, he couldn’t shake how unsettling the gift was. “People send crazy sh*t all the time,” he said. “The bra would’ve been cool, but [the panties] nah.”

Even with a nickname like T-Raw, Tyga clearly has sanitary boundaries.

Chance The Rapper is entering a new era–both musically and personally. After nearly 15 years, the “3333” musician is now a single man (at least legally).

According to TMZ, Chance The Rapper and Kirsten Corley have reached a settlement in their divorce procedure. Although a Cook County judge has yet to sign off on the matter, in court documents obtained by the outlet show that the resolve is amicable. In fact, Corley allegedly described the settlement as “a fair and equitable resolution.”

Details of the settlement was not shared with TMZ. However, reports say that the proud parents of daughters Kensli (9) and Marli Grace (5) have child related matters already squared away.

Back in April 2024, the former couple publicly announced their divorce filing. See their joint statement below.

After a period of separation, the two of us have arrived at the decision to part ways.

We came to this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. God has blessed us with two beautiful daughters who we will continue to raise together.

We kindly ask for privacy and respect as we navigate this transition.

Thank you

-Chance & Kirsten
