Rosalía has gifted us a fresh new remix of a fan favorite from her critically acclaimed album, Motomami.
On the “Despechá RMX,” the Spanish singer sings of the joy of leaving a toxic ex behind. On the song’s chorus, she sings, “Baby, no me llame’ / Que yo estoy ocupá’ olvidando tus male’ / Ya decidí que esta noche se sale / Con toda’ mis motomami’, con toda’ mis gyale,” over a groovy piano beat. This roughly translates to “Don’t call me / I’m busy forgetting your evil / And I’ve decided tonight I’m going out with all of my girls.”
Cardi B then swoops in with a verse, rapping, “You ain’t text me, the message be blue, then green / This a king, bad b*tch, but the shoes McQueen / You were tryin’ too hard not to watch my stories / I was shakin’ this ass, better not report me / I’m close by even though it’s hard to reach me.”
Thursdays, at least for the portion of the schedule when the NFL is also playing games, are historically a quiet night for the NBA. That was certainly the case this week, with just four games on the ledger. The headliner of the slate was assumed to be between the 20-7 Milwaukee Bucks and 18-9 Memphis Grizzlies, a pair of top-two seeds in their respective conferences. Despite key guards sidelined for each team in Jrue Holiday and Desmond Bane, excitement around the game persisted.
The Grizzlies quickly extinguished all that hype. By the end of the first quarter, they led 33-18. At halftime, they were up 70-41. They stretched the lead to as many as 50 in the fourth quarter before winning, 142-101, for their 19th victory of the season. Midway through the second quarter, the game was already over. So, Grizzlies fans and players alike had to find ways to entertain themselves, which included a wave breaking out in the fourth quarter that the players on the Memphis bench joined in on. Smiles were abundant as everyone relished the impressive win.
A year after their first playoff victory since 2014-15, these young Grizzlies perhaps look even better. They’re atop the West at 19-9 and 13-2 on their home turf. They’ve won seven in a row and nine of their last 10. Led by the youthful trio of Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Bane, they’re winning a ton of games and having loads of fun along the way.
Richard Sherman is almost never shy about expressing himself. Dating back to his time as an All-Pro defensive back, Sherman has been known for his candor, including a now-legendary walk-off interview with Erin Andrews in 2014 and plenty of additional moments both during and after his playing career. In fact, Sherman joined the studio operation of Amazon’s Thursday Night Football broadcast this season, and he let loose after the Denver Broncos had Russell Wilson throw on 4th and 1.
This week, Sherman visited with Brock Huard and Mike Salk on local radio in Seattle (710 AM) and he was on alongside former teammate K.J. Wright. The full interview is worth watching for context (h/t Awful Announcing) but, in short, it became very clear that Sherman was not in the mood to speak to Salk despite quite literally being a guest on his show.
Sherman said that he would answer questions from Huard and Wright, but told Salk “we’re gonna excuse you out of this.” Later, he doubled down and said “again, you’re excused from the interview,” only to have Salk rightly push back using the reality that he is a co-host of the program.
The animosity seems to stem from issues during Sherman’s playing days in Seattle, but this got very awkward in a hurry. Obviously, Sherman doesn’t have to speak to Salk but, at the same time, it is hard (or nearly impossible) to maintain that stance while also choosing to appear as a guest on this show. Still, it made for some captivating audio and attention, so perhaps everybody wins.
You’ve probably seen people make impressive chocolate confections before, but if you haven’t seen Amaury Guichon at work, prepare to be floored.
The French-Swiss pastry chef can do things with chocolate that simply don’t seem possible. As the host of the Netflix show, “School of Chocolate,” Guichon wowed viewers with his expertise as he educated other chefs in the art of chocolate sculpture, and he continues to outdo himself.
The number and variety of things Guichon has managed to create perfectly out of chocolate is enough to make your head spin. Anyone who has watched him work knows that his talents know no bounds, but a flippin’ chocolate foosball table? That actually works? No way.
Guichon’s calm, diligent manner doesn’t exactly jive with a commenter calling him a “mad genius,” but what else would you call someone who considers creating a real, full-sized foosball game out of chocolate, much less actually makes it happen (and right in time for the World Cup)?
Watch how he did it:
I mean, wow.
Years of professional education, trial and error and a deep knowledge of how chocolate works have enabled Guichon to become an artist as well as an engineer. He knows just how chocolate will behave under various conditions and just the right amounts to use for various desired outcomes.
His projects range from mechanical wonders like this:
Chocolate Harp! 🎶 5ft tall of chocolate and 47 sugar strings! #amauryguichon #chocolate
He’s like a real-life Willy Wonka without the slightly terrifying quirkiness, right?
It’s not an exaggeration to say that Guichon can make literally anything out of chocolate. His skill is unreal and unmatched, which perhaps is not surprising since he started learning the art of making pastry in Geneva, Switzerland when he was 13. However, his chocolate skills aren’t just show—he’s dedicated his career to making desserts that are as delicious as they are beautiful to look at. “I wanted to create a fusion between French taste and American showmanship,” he told Les vergers Boiron.
Now 31, he has had his own Netflix show, founded The Pastry Academy in Las Vegas where he shares his pastry skills with others, and has millions of followers on social media. When you watch him at work, it’s not hard to see why.
Paramore is gearing up for a big year. Next year, the band will release This Is Why which will mark their first album in six years, and their sixth overall.
In a recent interview with SiriusXM’s Alt Nation, she spoke about singer/songwriter Billie Eilish, who, like Williams, starting becoming a big name in the industry when she was 17. Williams even said Eilish reminded her of herself when she was starting out.
“We’ve spoken throughout the years since she kind of came onto the scene,” Williams said. “The first thing I experienced or I witnessed of her was ‘When the Party’s Over,’ that video. And then I watched an interview with her and I felt like there was something inside of me that was watching me — slash us — as teenagers doing interviews and navigating this world.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Williams recalled having dinner with Eilish’s family last year, where her mother, Maggie Baird, served her some vegan cinnamon rolls. Since then, she has formed a tight bond with Eilish, her brother, Finneas, and their parents.
“We had already connected,” she said, “I had connected with her mom too, just about their organization that they have. But ever since that Thanksgiving cinnamon roll treat, just, I mean… The rest is history. I feel like I would do anything for them.”
This Is Why is out 2/10/2023 via Atlantic Records. Pre-save it here.
Paramore is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
The official lineup for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Evehas been revealed, featuring special performances from J-Hope, New Edition, Duran Duran, and many more.
J-Hope is scheduled to play a three-song medley of “= (Equal Sign),” “Chicken Noodle Soup” and BTS’ “Butter.”
“I wanted to show a different aspect of me, other than the sunny and bright side I have as a member of BTS,” J-Hope recently told Consequence about his solo endeavor. “That’s why I decided to show a darker side of me through this album — maybe the shadow on the other side of the sunny and bright disposition I usually show. Showing the same vibes I show as a member of BTS might not be the right way to touch upon these darker or more serious topics.”
Meanwhile, New Edition will also tackle their biggest hits, including “Rub You The Right Way,” “My Prerogative,” “Poison,” “If It Isn’t Love,” and “Cool It Now.”
In addition, the show will feature pre-taped performances at Disneyland from Aly & AJ, Bailey Zimmerman, Ben Platt, Ciara, Fitz & The Tantrums, Halle Bailey, Lauren Spencer Smith, Maddie & Tae, Shaggy and TXT. At other locations in Los Angeles, Armani White, Betty Who, Dove Cameron, Finneas, Nicky Youre, and Wiz Khalifa will also play.
Hosted as usual by Ryan Seacrest, New Years’ Rockin Eve will air on ABC on December 31.
It’s been a tough year for Offset, but he and his wife, Cardi B seem to be enjoying a much-deserved vacation in Jamaica. Yesterday (December 14) marked Offset’s 31st birthday. To celebrate another of life, Cardi took to Instagram to offer her husband prayers and well wishes.
“I pray silently and I pray loudly on this post that God bless you & protect you. Thank you for your love to me,” she said in the post’s caption.
In a recent interview with The Neighborhood Talk, Cardi revealed that Offset was having a hard time after his cousin and Migos bandmate’s death.
“No lie, I have been feeling so hopeless trying to make my husband happy,” Cardi said.
Still, it appears the two are finding small moments of relief amid the emotional turmoil. Offset later shared a NSFW picture of him and his wife, wishing himseIf a happy birthday. In the photo, Cardi is seen bent over as Offset is standing behind her.
“Happy birthday to me,” he said in the post’s caption.
On Twitter, Offset expressed gratitude, reiterating that he is Blessed to see another year!”
In a new piece from Cosmopolitan today, it details the lengths that Taylor Swift fans with disabilities are having to go just to get ADA-compliant seats for The Eras Tour. Between trading with people online and spending hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars, the demand that was already extreme is even higher.
“Like many people I’m hoping to snag tickets to Taylor Swift‘s Eras tour. However, unlike many people I am trying to ensure that I can get accessible seating so that I can bring my daughters, one of whom is a wheelchair user, to the concert,” Amy Webb, an author featured in the article, first wrote on Instagram.
As many other fans in the piece pointed out, they struggled even more to find tickets via the standard Ticketmaster channel… And for reasonable resale prices as well. Primarily, because fans (and scammers) are buying up any tickets they can find, including those that would typically be set for concertgoers with disabilities.
“There’s always just this inherent base discrimination that, no matter how much money I can even afford to spend, I’ll never be able to get to the front. I’ll never be able to get to the goal line or the floor seats,” another fan told the publication. “I know for a fact no matter what, as a father, I can never take my son or my wife to go see somebody front row in most of these venues because they don’t offer that.”
In a recent interview with The Fader, Bree shared a story of a time when she helped out another British superstar. Before fame, Bree worked at a children’s shoe store, however, she had desires to work for Louis Vuitton. So, she started dressing as if she worked for Louis Vuitton, and soon enough, she began pulling VIP clients. One of those was none other than Adele, who came into Bree’s store one day, presumably buying shoes for her son, Angelo.
“I literally blacked out,” Bree said. “I didn’t recognize her until she turned her face a certain way, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s Adele.’ I was just packaging the shoes, like, ‘I can’t breathe. It’s Adele.’ It was just me and her on the shop floor. I was like, [whispering] ‘Don’t say anything, it’s Adele, oh my God. Would you like a receipt? I mean, [loudly] would you like a receipt? [whispering] Did I say that out loud? Oh my God, it’s Adele.’ She was like, ‘Yes, love, I’m Adele. Can I have my shoes, please?’”
The power of manifestation eventually worked out for Bree, as she later ended up working for Louis Vuitton. Perhaps this means a collaboration with Adele may manifest in the future.
Ab-Soul appeared on the Rap Radar Podcast to clear the air about a suspected diss he made towards Kid Cudi. Ahead of the release of his first album in six years, Herbert, dropping tomorrow, Ab-Soul denied that he did — instead claiming the “cudi” word usage was a street term.
“It seems like you still have the competitive spirit on there like you’re firing some shots off in the verse,” Brian “B.Dot” Miller, one of the show’s hosts, commented about a line in Ab-Soul’s song, “Church On The Move.”
“Which shots? What do you mean?” Ab-Soul asked.
“It sounded like you were talking to a specific rapper,” Miller added. “It sounded like you were talking about Kid Cudi. You mentioned a name, and you said a lot of things in there.”
“You think I would diss Kid Cudi? The great Kid Cudi? On a song called ‘Church On The Move’?” Ab-Soul replied. “Peace be unto you. Come on, B.Dot. And y’all trust this guy with the lists?”
“There goes my credibility,” Miller joked back.
“No, look. Listen. ‘Cudi’ is a term that we use. It’s kinda on some Cr*p sh*t, you know what I’m saying?” Ab continued.
Watch the full moment of Ab-Soul replying to the supposed “Church On The Move” Kid Cudi diss above.
