(WARNING: Spoilers for Love Is Blind season six will be found below.)

Following weeks of drama and romance that normally concludes with a few weddings, or wedding as was the case in season six, the Love Is Blind community gathers for one last time for a reunion episode. Cast members from the recent season, married or not, are brought back together about a year after their season was filmed so that they can reflect on their Love Is Blind experience and address incidents and comments from the season. In regards to season six, that means we’ll hear about Clay and AD’s current status, whether or not Jeramey and Sarah Ann are together, how Amy and Johnny are doing as a (presumably) married couple, Trevor’s rumored troubled past before his appearance on the show, and so much more. With all that in mind, here’s when you can watch the reunion episode.

When Does The Love Is Blind Season 6 Reunion Come Out?

The reunion episode of Love Is Blind season six will be available to stream on Netflix on March 13 at 9 pm EST/6 pm PST. The episode will officially conclude the sixth season of Love Is Blind which only saw two couples make it to the wedding day, that being Clay & AD and Amy & Johnny. The latter tied the knot while Clay failed to say “I do” to Amy. Jimmy and Chelsea broke off their engagement at the beginning of episode 12, Laura and Jeramey’s relationship ended after episode 11, and Brittany and Kenneth’s ended after episode eight.

You can watch the trailer for the Love Is Blind season six reunion above.

Robert Downey Jr., who survived both drug addiction and the Marvel machine, won his first Oscar on Sunday for his performance in Oppenheimer. The tributes from his famous friends came rolling in soon after, including Johnny Depp. The pair haven’t appeared in a movie together, but the Edward Scissorhands star once said that he and RDJ have “known one another for a million years.”

Depp doesn’t know him well enough to not share a fake photo, however.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, “the Pirates of the Caribbean actor initially took to his Instagram Story to celebrate the Oppenheimer star by sharing a photo of the pair together. However, it turned out it wasn’t a real photo of them but rather a photoshopped picture.” The original (Getty) photo is from 1998 and it shows Downey Jr. with his then-girlfriend (and Depp’s Ed Wood co-star) Sarah Jessica Parker. In the fake pic that’s been “circulated on social media and fan sites for years,” she’s been replaced with Depp. Weird!

You can see it here.

Depp deleted the photo and added another where he’s talking with Downey, Jr. at the 2011 Golden Globes. This time, it’s real. What are they taking about in the picture? Probably the time Depp pulled a necklace out of his butt.

Mitski is riding the highs of her The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We Tour. In between legs, the indie darling has shared some more music: Today (March 13), Mitksi has partnered with Spotify Singles to deliver a pair of new songs.

One of the songs is a cover of “Coyote, My Little Brother,” written by Peter Lafarge but popularized by Pete Seeger. The other is a new rendition of “Buffalo Replaced,” from Mitski’s seventh studio album, The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We.

On the Spotify Singles version of “Buffalo Replaced,” the wail of a freight train replaces the vibrations of the long-gone stampeding buffalo.

“Here, hope itself is personified,” reads a statement accompanying the songs’ release, “anthropomorphized into a sleeping creature, and the song’s narrator wonders if life would be easier without her.”

Mitski’s The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We Tour resumes in Chicago with four shows, running from March 21 through March 24. In tandem with the Chicago shows, Mitski has announced Here On Earth: Chicago gallery and pop-up shop in collaboration with the bookstore, Exile In Bookville. The four-day pop up will feature a selection of photos from The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We curated by Ebru Yildiz.

In the meantime, you can check out the Spotify Singles here.

Jennifer Lopez fans who were hoping to catch her on certain dates of her This Is Me… Now The Tour recently received some bad news. The pop star has reportedly canceled the final seven shows of her North American run, which would’ve taken place in late August. These shows include ones in cities like Nashville, New Orleans, Houston, and more.

While it’s unclear exactly why Lopez canceled certain shows and not others is still unknown. Right now, Ticketmaster’s message only reads, “Unfortunately, the Event Organizer has had to cancel your event.” Entertainment Weekly also reported that they tried reaching out to Live Nation for comment, but seemingly have not heard anything back yet.

Lopez’s arena tour is centered around her album and Amazon Prime film, both of which share the same name. Anyone who purchased tickets to one of the canceled shows on Lopez’s tour will be refunded through where they purchased from. Additional information about the cancellations can be found through Ticketmaster.

Merriweather Post Pavilion was Animal Collective’s mainstream breakthrough, peaking at No. 13 on the Billboard 200 chart. As the 2009 album turns 15 years old this year, the band is giving it a fancy new reissue treatment.

This “bluish and translucent green” double LP marks the first time the album has been pressed on colored vinyl. It also comes with a reflective foil mirrorboard deluxe gatefold jacket, a limited-edition “My Girls” 10-inch vinyl that also includes a live recording of the unreleased song “From A Beach,” and an MP3 and WAV download card.

Merriweather Post Pavilion was one of the most beloved albums of its era, and “My Girls” is commonly regarded as a high point for Animal Collective and remains their most popular song (with 55 million Spotify streams). For the project’s tenth anniversary in 2019, the band released Ballet Slippers, a live album with performances pulled from various shows.

Meanwhile, in his review of Animal Collective’s 2022 album Time Skiffs, Uproxx’s Steven Hyden wrote, “After two difficult (though in my estimation underrated) records, Time Skiffs is the sequel to Merriweather Post Pavilion that many fans probably would have wanted a decade ago.”

The release is available for pre-order here. It’s set for release on June 28, so orders should ship around then.

This week, actress Sharon Stone revealed that notorious Hollywood producer Robert Evans requested that she sleep with her Sliver co-star Billy Baldwin to get a “better” performance out of him.

“If I could sleep with Billy then we’d have chemistry on screen, and if I would just have sex with him then that would save the movie, and the real problem with the movie was me because I was so uptight, and so not like a real actress who could just f*ck him and get things back on track,” she said, later adding, “Now all of a sudden, I’m in the ‘I have to f*ck people’ business.”

Baldwin responded to Stone’s claim on X, accusing her of being “unprofessional.” In a lengthy post, he wrote, “Not sure why Sharon Stone keep talking about me all these years later? Does she still have a crush on me or is she still hurt after all these years because I shunned her advances? Did she say to her gal pal Janice Dickinson the day after I screen tested and ran into them on our MGM Grand flight back to New York… ‘I’m gonna make him fall so hard for me, it’s gonna make his head spin’???”

Baldwin said that he has “so much dirt on her it would make her head spin but I’ve kept quiet. The story of the meeting I had with Bob Evans imploring him allow me to choreograph the final sex scene in the photo below so I wouldn’t have to kiss Sharon is absolute legend. Wonder if I should write a book and tell the many, many disturbing, kinky and unprofessional tales about Sharon? That might be fun.” The Baldwin bros, class acts all the way.

Earlier this week, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s “Carnival” rose to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it Ye’s first chart-topper in over a decade. West decided to celebrate by dishing out a bunch of “f*ck you’s” in a social media post, with his most notable targets being Hailey Bieber, Adidas, and Drake. Regarding Drake, West wrote, “And it’s f*ck Drake for taking Durk right at the beginning of the Vultures role out.”

It appears this situation has left Drake confused, as what appears to be his response indicates. On his Instagram Story hours ago, Drake shared a classic video of 50 Cent, in which the “In Da Club” rapper says, “…said, ‘F*ck T.I., f*ck Nelly, and f*ck 50.’ I’m like, ‘What he say f*ck me for?’”

As HipHopDX notes, the original 50 video was posted in 2014 as his response to Floyd Mayweather dissing him, T.I., and Nelly. In the full clip, 50 says, “I woke up and I look at the computer and the computer said Floyd said, ‘F*ck T.I., f*ck Nelly, and f*ck 50.’ I’m like, ‘What he say f*ck me for?’ Nelly f*cked your first baby mama Melissa then took your f*ckin’ fiancé. Say f*ck that n****.”

SXSW has found itself in a bit of a controversy this year, as some artists have pulled out of the festival due to some of this year’s sponsors, including the US Army. Texas governor Greg Abbott relished in this news, though, tweeting yesterday (March 12), “Bands pull out of SXSW over U.S. Army sponsorship. Bye. Don’t come back. Austin remains the HQ for the Army Futures Command. San Antonio is Military City USA. We are proud of the U.S. military in Texas. If you don’t like it, don’t come here.”

SXSW then issued a statement on social media, making it clear they do “not agree with Governor Abbott,” though. The statement explains their decision to have the Army as a sponsor, and it reads in full:

“SXSW does not agree with Governor Abbott.

We are an organization that welcomes diverse viewpoints. Music is the soul of SXSW, and it has long been our legacy. We fully respect the decision these artists made to exercise their right to free speech.

Across the globe, we are witnessing unspeakable tragedies, the rise of repressive regimes, and the increasing spread of violent conflict. It’s more crucial than ever that we come together to solve these greater humanitarian issues.

The defense industry has historically been a proving ground for many of the systems we rely on today. These institutions are often leaders in emerging technologies, and we believe it’s better to understand how their approach will impact our lives.

The Army’s sponsorship is part of our commitment to bring forward ideas that shape our world. In regard to Collins Aerospace, they participated this year as a sponsor of two SXSW Pitch categories, giving entrepreneurs visibility and funding for potentially game-changing work.

We have and will continue to support human rights for all. The situation in the Middle East is tragic, and it illuminates the heightened importance of standing together against injustice.”

Humans have debated things large and small over the millennia, from the democracy to breastfeeding in public to how often people ought to wash their sheets.

But perhaps the most silly-yet-surprisingly-heated household debate is the one in which we argue over which way to hang the toilet paper roll.

The “over or under” question has plagued marriages and casual acquaintances alike for over 100 years, with both sides convinced they have the soundest reasoning for putting their toilet paper loose end out or loose end under. Some people feel so strongly about right vs. wrong TP hanging that they will even flip the roll over when they go to the bathroom in the homes of strangers.

Contrary to popular belief, it’s not merely an inconsequential preference. There is actually a “correct” way to hang toilet paper, according to health experts as well as the man who invented the toilet paper roll in the first place.

---

First, let’s be clear about what we’re even talking about here with a visual. In the image below, left is “over” and right is “under.”

So which one is the right way? According to health experts, “over” is the way to go.

“One key to maintaining a hygienic washroom is minimising contact between people and surfaces,” Dr. Christian Moro, associate professor of health sciences and medicine at Bond University on Australia’s Gold Coast, told Australian Broadcasting Corporation. “Depending on the type of roll holder, [hanging the toilet paper “over”] often lowers the chance that a user will touch the wall behind when fishing for paper, leaving germs behind on that surface which can be spread to the next user.”

Picture it: Grabbing the end of the toilet paper when it’s hung “over” means you only touch the part of the toilet paper you’re going to use. When it’s “under,” you sometimes have to fish for it or scrape your fingers on the wall in order to grab the loose end. In addition to whatever might be on people’s hands already, think about all the people who wipe twice, potentially transferring fresh fecal matter or other bacteria to the wall on the second pass, which then get picked up by other people who inadvertently touch that wall when trying to grab their TP.

Theoretically, we all should have become better hand washers during the pandemic, scrubbing with soap for the full 20 seconds it takes to remove bacteria. But I wouldn’t be willing to bet on it.

And touching any surface in a bathroom is pretty nasty, according to a study from the University of Colorado. As Inc. reported: “Using a high-tech genetic sequencing tool, researchers identified 19 groups of bacteria on the doors, floors, faucet handles, soap dispensers, and toilets of 12 public restrooms in Colorado — six men’s restrooms and six women’s restrooms. Many of the bacteria strains identified could be transmitted by touching contaminated surfaces.”

Bacteria means things like e.coli, which is a common source of food poisoning and one of the most common bacteria found on bathroom surfaces in the study. If you’ve ever had a bout of food poisoning, I’m sure you’ll agree that a toilet paper roll hanging preference isn’t worth risking it.

But sanitary health concerns aren’t the only argument for the “over” camp. After all, the original patent for the toilet paper roll, issued in 1891, clearly shows the TP in the “over” position. Thank you for the clarity right from the get go, Mr. Wheeler.

Now, before the “under” folks come running with their pitchforks, there are some understandable exceptions to the “over” rule. Namely: cats and kids.

If you have a furry friend or a tiny toddler who likes to unroll the toilet paper roll, “over” makes it super fun for them, while “under” stops them in their tracks. For many people, cats and kids are the primary motivator of their TP hanging habits.

That doesn’t change the fact that “over” is actually the “correct” way to hang toilet paper according to health science and the inventor’s intention, of course, but “under” is certainly preferable to having a pile of TP on the floor.

Now go forth, do that with information as you will, and try to make peace with your over vs. under rivals.

After playing the entirely of the first quarter during Tuesday night’s game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kawhi Leonard went to the bench and eventually made his way into the back. Not long after, Leonard changed out of his uniform into street clothes and left the arena altogether, according to Stephanie Ready of TNT.

Further footage showed that Leonard appeared to say something to Ty Lue prior to the start of the second quarter.

While the two teams were in the locker room for halftime, Leonard was unsurprisingly ruled out for the remainder of the game with thoracic spasms.

At the time of his departure, Leonard had six points on 2-for-4 shooting from the field with two rebounds and two assists.

Long viewed as the poster child of the NBA’s load management era, Leonard has been quite durable for the Clippers during the 2023-24 campaign. Tuesday night’s game against Minnesota was Leonard’s 58th of the year, which is officially the most that he’s played in a single season since joining Los Angeles in the summer of 2019.

We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes public about Leonard’s injury and whether he’ll need to miss any time going forward.
