In his second performance on the Saturday Night Live stage tonight, Jack White delivered an intimate performance of “A Tip From You To Me” from his album, Entering Heaven Alive

While on stage, White was dressed to the nines in a black shirt accessorized with suspenders, as he once again, showed off his smooth guitar chops. While this song is a rather slow, stripped-down one, White maintained an electrifying presence.

Between the two albums White released last year — Fear Of The Dawn and Entering Heaven Alive — this song is one of the more emotional in the collection. In an interview with Esquire, White revealed how he found solace in solitude during the creative process for both albums.

“Part of it was me being holed up in Kalamazoo with just acoustic guitar and piano,” White said. “I knew, I’m not going to be writing electric guitar riffs, it’s going to be creating songs from nothing. I’m in a room with no inspiration. I’m not reading the Internet every day. I’m not reading newspapers, watching television—I was just in a room by myself. And pulling out phrases and words, here, to trigger things and writing things down that might lead me down a path.”

Tonight marks the fifth time Jack White has appeared on Saturday Night Live, as well as that for this episode’s host, Woody Harrelson. In his first performance of the night, White performed “Taking Me Back” and “Fear Of The Dawn”

During the performance, White rocked out with an electric guitar and support from an equally pumped backing band. The stage was illuminated in shades of electric blue, matching White’s guitar. White jumped up and down and danced throughout the stage, maintaining his energy as “Taking Me Back” smoothly transitioned into “Fear Of The Down.”

The song comes from Fear Of The Dawn, the first of two albums White released last year. In an interview with Variety last year, White explained his decision to release two separate albums, explaining that he felt the songs he recorded didn’t seem to flow together well as he was trying to put together a singular, cohesive project.

“No matter how much I tried to make a sequence out of the songs, it just seemed like you were taking a Miles Davis record and putting it in the middle of an Iron Maiden record,” he said. “It had an ‘Oh, that’s interestingly jarring thing’ to it, but it wasn’t breathing or flowing.”

Joel Embiid hit the most incredible shot of the 2022-23 NBA season at the end of Saturday night’s showdown between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics. The only problem for the Sixers star was that the ball didn’t quite leave his hand in time, and as a result, Boston was able to pick up a thrilling 110-107 win.

The Celtics stormed back from a 15-point deficit in the third quarter, took the lead, and went up by as many as 10 points in the fourth. But the Sixers had a response, and over the game’s final two minutes, the teams passed the lead back and forth to one another. After a Jayson Tatum put Boston up by four with a minute left to play, Philly managed to get to the free throw line four times, made all of them, and sandwiched them around a crucial stop to tie things up in the waning moments.

With a hair over one second left, Tatum hit a three off of an inbounds play that looked like it was going to be enough. And then, PJ Tucker inbounded the ball to Embiid, who took a dribble, launched from the free throw line, and sent the Wells Fargo center into a frenzy.

You can see that Embiid just missed getting this out of his hand by about a half second, and even Embiid seemed to know this was too little, too late. The referees reviewed this and quickly determined Embiid didn’t get it off in time, which gave Boston the win.

New music from Young Nudy is coming soon. Yesterday (February 24), the rapper took to Instagram to reveal the cover art and tracklist for his food-themed album, Gumbo.

Gumbo boasts a hefty tracklisting that reads like a list of ingredients. It appears Nudy was also joined by some collaborators, who helped him cook up something great. Joining him in the kitchen are Key Glock, and 21 Savage, who is actually Nudy’s cousin.

Over the years, Nudy has garnered a large fan base and an online following, though, in an interview with XXL last year, he admitted he doesn’t spend too much time online.

“I ain’t gon’ cap to ya. The only way I knew my fan base growing, when I do a show,” Nudy said. “Other than that, trying to go from the internet and sh*t, I don’t really be getting it, because I be seeing rappers that got a million followers and sh*t, and they can’t even get 100,000 likes. And, I know I be getting them muthaf*ckas, and I ain’t got no bots or no fake sh*t. I got real Nudy fans. I feel like my fan base is slowly growing.”

You can see the cover art and tracklist below.

TMZ is reporting that Billie Eilish was granted a temporary restraining order against a man who was allegedly caught lurking outside of her Los Angeles home.

In documents obtained by the publication, a judge ordered the alleged stalker, whose name is Raymond Black, to stay at least 100 years away from Eilish and her house. Black was also reportedly ordered to stay away from the house of Eilish’s parents.

According to the documents, the restraining order was granted based on what the judge described as “a credible threat of violence or stalking.”

This past Monday, Eilish reportedly came home to find Black standing outside of her living room without a shirt on, staring directly at her through the glass window..

Eilish called the police, who reportedly arrested Black nearby the property.

Even more terrifying, Eilish apparently told the cops that she reviewed security footage captured by her cameras earlier in the day, and saw that Black had been walking around her property, took off his clothes, and used her outdoor shower.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the only time she’s had to deal with stalkers. Last month, Eilish was granted a five-year restraining order against a 39-year-old man accused of breaking into her parents’ Los Angeles home.

Gracie Abrams‘ long-awaited debut album Good Riddance is finally here. To celebrate its release this past Friday (February 24), Abrams stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform “I Know It Won’t Work” from the album.

On the song, Abrams expresses her desire to rekindle a past romance but is forced to come to terms with the fact that the two aren’t meant to be.

“And part of me wants to walk away ’til you really listen / I hate to look at your face and know that we’re feelin’ different / ‘Cause part of me wants you back, but / I know it won’t work like that,” sings Abrams on the song’s chorus.

During the performance, the stage is lit black and white, as Abrams is joined by a live band, giving the punchy pop track an even more raw feel.

Self-awareness is a common theme on Good Riddance. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Abrams said she wanted to display a sense of maturity and accountability in her newer material.

“I think a lot of my songwriting in the past almost placed blame on others before reflecting on my own role in a situation,” said Abrams. “With Good Riddance, I wanted to grow out of that really desperately…. I wanted to be more thoughtful and more accountable.”

One of the best college basketball games of the season took place on Saturday evening when the 7th-ranked Arizona Wildcats played host to their in-state rivals, the Arizona State Sun Devils. Things came down to the last possible moment, when Desmond Cambridge Jr. threw up a prayer from beyond halfcourt that got answered and give the Sun Devils a gigantic win.

A pair of free throws by Azuolas Tubelis gave Arizona a lead early in the second half, and for the remainder of the game, Arizona State played catch up. They kept chipping away, and with just under two minutes left, the Sun Devils took an 84-83 lead, which the two teams would pass back and forth for the rest of the game. And with 29 seconds left, the sequence that looked like it was going to decide the winner happened, as Pelle Larsson hit a layup to put the Wildcats up by one, DJ Horne missed a jumper on the way back down, and Oumar Ballo split a pair of free throws to give Arizona an 88-86 advantage.

On the ensuing inbound with about three seconds left, Cambridge got the ball, dribbled once, and decided to put up a shot before the defense could get in a position to contest. It could not have been any more different, and while the crowd at McKale Memorial Center was stunned, the Sun Devils ran onto the floor to celebrate their 89-88 win.

With the win, Arizona State moved to 20-9 on the year with an 11-7 mark in conference play.

Remember when Tulsi Gabbard ran for the Democratic presidential ticket only three years ago? A lot has changed. Despite supporting eventual winner Joe Biden, she soon drifted quickly rightward. By the time she formally ditched the Democratic Party and started subbing on Tucker Carlson’s nightly Fox News show, few were surprised. And yet it’s still a bit of a shock to hear her airing Hitler comments that are too out-there even for Jesse Watters.

Gabbard went on Watters’ show so they could both rant against the Biden administration’s commitment to having a diverse staff. Watters said he was a “little tired of the diversity stuff.” Gabbard effectively told him to hold her beer.

Gabbard said their commitment to “identity politics” was one of the reasons she left the Democratic Party. She then paraphrased Republicans’ favorite MLK quote, saying that “we should judge each other not based on the color of our skin, but based on our character.”

And then she compared the Biden team’s diversity practices to the Nazis, who were, of course, famous for embracing other ethnicities:

“They are proud to be judging people, hiring people, selecting people based on race, and let’s be clear how serious of a problem this is. It’s based on genetics, race, based on your blood, your genes, and, where do we see that connection? Well, these are the very same geneticist core principles embodied by Nazism and Adolf Hitler. This should be something that is sickening and alarming to every single Democrat and every single American. We have seen where this, uh, philosophy can lead.”

Even Watters wasn’t having it, asking her, “You are saying the focus on genetics is in a way similar to what was going on in Germany?”

“You look at the core values and core principles of Adolf Hitler and Nazism what is it based on? It’s based on genetics this philosophy of geneticism and discriminating based on their genes,” she replied. “When they are standing there, saying we are proud to be selecting people solely based on race, that is alarming to men so many levels. You see them oh we we going to select someone based on their race, based on their gender, these immutable characteristics that we are born with, this goes against, again, the very vision our founders had for us.”

Watters politely disagreed, at least with one point. “I’m not sure about the German thing, but I think you are right on this point: they care about what they administration looks like but they don’t care about what we look like,” he told her, “and we’re out here saying hey, we need this, we need that can you — and they are not even looking at us.”

When you’re a former Democratic politician whose cuckoo Hitler comparisons lose even a Fox News host, you may have made a serious life mistake. But hey, at least she’s not falling for George Santos’ lies, clearing the lowest bar imaginable.

Cardi B recently got very candid about her experiences with her court-ordered community service. The “Up” hitmaker reveals that community service is a “spiritual journey” and has changed her for the better. Her court order stems from her 2018 case, where she pled guilty to ordering an assault — earning herself two misdemeanors — on two female employees at Angel’s Strip Club in New York.

Presumably due to her busy schedule, the rapper struggled to complete her community service on time. The court granted Cardi a two-month extension this past January.

“Community service has been the best thing that has happened to me,” Cardi tweeted on Saturday, February 25. “[It’s] almost like a spiritual journey because sometimes I leave these centers in tears.

She continued, “Those people that we leave behind, they just need somebody to talk and a lil push, and YOU might be able to change their life forever.”

To date, Cardi has fulfilled her community service requirement. Now maybe the busy mother of two can return to prepping her highly anticipated second album, which she teased earlier this year. When she’s not in the studio or taking care of her kids, you can bet she is working on expanding her empire, like her recent partnership with McDonald’s alongside her husband, Offset.

Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
