Undertaker Brought Back The American Badass For Monday Night Raw’s 30th Anniversary

WWE Raw turned 30 on Monday night, and for the special anniversary edition, there wasn’t a chance The Undertaker would miss out on the festivities. It wasn’t just the regular Undertaker who made his way to the ring, as The American Badass version of the ‘Taker hit the ring for the first time in over 20 years.

LA Knight, who is slated to face off against Bray Wyatt at the Royal Rumble this weekend in a Pitch Black match, called out Wyatt for bringing back the Firefly Funhouse last week and said that he’s living on his past. He then said the same about the legends in the back who were celebrating Raw’s 30th anniversary and what they accomplished years ago.

After ‘Taker made his way to the ring, Knight got out of the ring and attempted to walk to the back only to be confronted by Wyatt holding a lantern. As Knight retreated back to the ring, Taker was waiting with a set up for a chokeslam.

Knight attempted to fight his way out before Taker passed Knight to Wyatt, who laid out his opponent with the Sister Abigail. Taker then walked up to Wyatt, said something in his ear and made his way to the back on his motorcycle.

Tom Brady Got Really Annoyed Over Yet Another Question About His NFL Future…On His Own Podcast

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers saw their season end with a 31-14 drubbing at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys on Wild Card weekend. Before the final whistle, speculation was already rampant on whether Brady, who is now 45 years old, would retire for the second time, return to the Buccaneers, or move on to play for a new NFL franchise. The reasons for the nationwide intrigue are obvious around the player many consider to be the greatest of all-time but, on Monday, it became clear that Brady isn’t quite ready to make his decision.

Brady made his weekly appearance with Jim Gray on SiriusXM’s Let’s Go and, predictably, Gray asked about Brady’s future and whether there was any timetable for a decision. Brady responded with an answer that wasn’t exactly polite.

“Jim, if I knew what I was going to f***ing do, I would’ve already f***ing done it,” Brady said.

By the end of the clip, the antagonism wanes, but Brady clearly didn’t have a desire to answer right now. It’s a bit odd, though, in that Gray basically has to ask Brady this question, so perhaps a more prepared answer might’ve been wise. Alas, Brady has myriad options to consider in the coming weeks and months and, unlike any other 45-year-old quarterback in history, he would be in high demand if he wanted to keep playing.

Jalen Rose Is Very Tired Of A Certain Someone ‘Pretending To Fake Troll The Cowboys’

When the Dallas Cowboys fell short on Sunday night in San Francisco, there were few non-Niners fans happier about it than Stephen A. Smith, who loves nothing more than trolling Cowboys fans and his Monday First Take sparring partner, Michael Irvin, after a Dallas loss.

On that front, Stephen A. delivered, doing a pre-show skit where he dressed as Pinky from Friday, badgering Irvin and then continuing on the show itself.

Smith relishes the chance to go over the top on his Cowboy hate, but not everyone at ESPN is a fan of the antics. His fellow NBA Countdown analyst Jalen Rose decided on Monday night that he’d stir the pot a bit with some tweets throwing considerable shade at Smith for “pretending to fake troll the Cowboys,” going after low-hanging fruit, and generally calling out sports TV shows for selling “clowns” to the audience instead of quality content.

What prompted this thread of tweets eight-plus hours after First Take aired is anyone’s guess, but Rose apparently couldn’t help but get his frustrations with ESPN’s most valued asset and the take-economy in general off his chest. It’ll be fascinating to see how this plays out, given ESPN’s investment in Smith, the fact that these two work together on NBA Countdown (which had been a revolving door of a cast until the last two years), and Rose re-upping on a contract extension in October. Smith would, of course, love to turn this into something for TV, but taking this to Twitter seems to indicate Rose isn’t interested in on-air banter for the aforementioned “dumb/lazy” audience.

Machine Gun Kelly’s Biopic ‘Good Mourning’ Is Shadily Nominated For Seven Razzies

Machine Gun Kelly is a polarizing figure. He’s been shaded by Slipknot’s Corey Taylor and Eminem while, on the other hand receiving support from Mick Jagger and Avril Lavigne. However, it looks like it’s not just the music industry that has conflicted opinions on the rapper-turned-rockstar. The film industry was also divided after the release of his directorial debut, Good Mourning.

Unveiled in 2022, Good Mourning has now been nominated for seven Razzies at the Golden Raspberry Awards. Though this may sound positive, it’s quite the opposite. The award show’s goal is to honor the year’s worst movies.

Surprisingly, MGK’s film is not even the most nominated — the Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde is. But still, seven nominations is a lot. It’s nominated for Worst Picture, Worst Screenplay, two nominations in Worst Supporting Actor (Mod Sun and Pete Davidson), Worst Actor, Worst Director, and Worst Onscreen Combo (with Mod Sun).

Last month, it was revealed that MGK has been in a lawsuit against Fox Media because of his 2019 Hotel Diablo album. Fox Media had been hoping to use its trademark of the term “diablo” to protect the name of a character in its series, HouseBroken. Kelly’s representative claimed the network’s planned use of the term “diablo” was “confusingly similar in overall commercial impression.”

Comical Fabulist George Santos Sure Doesn’t Appreciate Those ‘TERRIBLE’ Impersonations Of Him All Over Late Night TV

George Santos has spent the last month and change being buried under an avalanche of wacky, alarming, and sometimes wacky/alarming allegations. So far he’s known how to handle them: He denies them (or he admits them later), he refuses to step down, or he simply does nothing. But apparently getting lampooned across late night TV across numerous nights broke him.

“I have now been enshrined in late night TV history with all these impersonations, but they are all TERRIBLE so far,” complained Santos two days after Bowen Yang sent him up, in drag, on SNL.

Santos singled out one impersonator in particular for attempted ridicule: “Jon Lovitz is supposed to be one of the greatest comedians of all time and that was embarrassing— for him not me! These comedians need to step their game up.”

It appeared that Santos was once again taking a page from the Donald Trump playbook. Just as Santos, too, simply denies the many, many creatively out-there allegations made against him, he also did what Trump did when Alec Baldwin kept impersonating him on SNL: He called him bad. (Although Baldwin’s successor was the one who got it right.) Surely one good way to show you’re unfazed by mockery is to complain about it in a public space.

Last week, multiple late night chat shows did the same thing, enlisting a guest to do their best Santos impersonation. For instance, The Tonight Show tapped Lovitz, which Santos especially disliked. Yang followed that up with his take on the Aubrey Plaza-hosted SNL. The lesson: If you want to actually get Santos’ attention, which is hard to obtain, simply go on late night TV and make fun of him.

Kelly Clarkson Shows Love To Taylor Swift In Latest ‘Kellyoke’ Cover Of Her 2012 Song ‘Better Man’

From the upcoming Senate hearing regarding Ticketmaster being held virtually and open to the public to seeing their beloved musician receiving praise from fellow pop star Lady Gaga, fans of Taylor Swift are having a great start to their week. Talk show host, The Voice judge, and Grammy Award-winning singer Kelly Clarkson continued in the Swift love fest.

Today (January 23), during the Kellyoke segment on her show, Clarkson covered one of Swift’s deep-cut songs, “Better Man.” Dressed in football jerseys to commemorate the NFL-themed episode, Clarkson and crew are ready for the game called love.

Passionately singing the lyric, “Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again/ But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man,” Clarkson injects her own experiences in love into the heartbreaking track.

Although “Better Man” was originally written by Swift for her 2012 album Red, it didn’t make the project. Instead, the song landed in the hands country group Little Big Town. The quartet recorded the track and released it as the lead single of their 2017 album The Breaker. Eventually, Swift rerecorded and made the song available for streaming after falling out with the owners of her former record label, Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun. During which Clarkson showed public support for Swift by tweeting, “Taylor Swift just a thought, you should go in & re-record all the songs that you don’t own the masters on exactly how you did them but put brand new art & some kind of incentive so fans will no longer buy the old versions. I’d buy all of the new versions just to prove a point,” to which Swift did.

What a full-circle moment. Watch the full performance above.

Parody of Whitney Houston’s ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ is the ultimate introvert anthem

There are two kinds of people in this world—those who Google “nightlife” when they’re exploring travel destinations and those with no desire to venture anywhere after 10:00 p.m.

Nothing against those folks who enjoy spending after-bedtime hours in crowded nightclubs, but “nightlife” just sounds like torture to me. Even during my somewhat wild college days, whenever I’d go out dancing late at night with my friends, the little voice in my head would say, “You know you’d rather be curled up on your couch in your jammies right now.” And it was right. I would have.

While some introverts may genuinely look forward to a night on the town, I’d venture to guess most of us don’t. By the end of the day, our social batteries are usually pretty tapped out, so a quiet evening with a movie or a book is almost always preferable to one that involves trying to make conversation over blaring music and strobe lights.


That’s why a parody of Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” is being claimed as a personal theme song by introverts everywhere.

The video from indie pop band Sub-Radio has raked in over a million views on their TikTok channel and gone similarly viral on Facebook—and for good reason. With band members clad in comfy-looking PJs, the video opens with the caption, “When someone asks me if I’m going out tonight.” Then comes an introvert anthem that is all too relatable.

Watch:

@subradioband

send this to your favorite introvert #fypp #indieband #alternativeband

First of all, has anyone ever told the lead singer he looks like Rob McElhenney? Second, “I’ve done alright up til now, but I’d kill someone not to go downtown,” is the most accurate reflection of an introvert’s internal evening monologue I’ve ever seen. Third, “My Squishmallow calls”? So accurate. 10/10. No notes.

If you’re someone who loves the nightlife, this song may not be relatable at all, but this is exactly how a good portion of the population feels. You know that person you see at the club who seems bored and aloof and maybe somewhat annoyed? There’s a very good chance they’d rather be sitting at home, listening to this song with a cup of tea and their cat. Genuinely.

“I have never felt so seen in my life,” wrote one commenter.

“I need to send this to people trying to make plans with me,” wrote another.

“This be my soundtrack on Friday nights 🥰,” shared another person.

One commenter dubbed those who relate to the video as “The ‘stay home club’ 😻🙌😻🙌😻.”

With so many pop hits about clubbing and partying, it’s refreshing to see those of us who aren’t about that life celebrated in song. We and our Squishmallows salute you, Sub-Radio.
