Nearly a year after Kim Kardashianfiled for divorce from him, Ye is still fighting to reconcile and repair things with the mother of his four children. On Wednesday, Ye stopped by Skid Row and spoke about his marriage to Kim and the “mistakes” he made during it while remaining confident that he and Kim would be able to fix things in the future.
“The narrative that God wants is for you to see that everything can be redeemed,” Ye said. “In all these relationships, we’ve made mistakes — I’ve made mistakes. I’ve publicly done things that were not acceptable as a husband. But right now today, for whatever reason — I didn’t know I was going to be standing right here. I didn’t know I was going to be in front of this mic, but I’m here to change that narrative. I’m not letting E! write the narrative of my family. I’m not letting Hulu write the narrative of my family… I am the priest of my home.”
“If the enemy can separate Kimye, there’s going to be millions of families that feel like that separation is OK …,” Ye continued. “[But] when God —who has already won and is so — brings Kimye together, there’s gonna be millions of families that are going to be influenced and see they can overcome the work of the separation, of trauma the devil has used to capitalize to keep people in misery while people step over homeless people to go to the Gucci store.”

Drake and Future have given us numerous collaborations in their careers including their 2015 joint album What A Time To Be Alive and their most recent single, “Way 2 Sexy” with Young Thug. The duo has been able to strike magic on records time and time again, and their work has now paid off more than ever as one of their collaborations earned a unique accolade. Drake and Future’s 2020 track “Life Is Good” recently landed a Diamond certification meaning that the single sold 10 million or more copies since its release.
Dwight Elder, who is Future’s manager according to Hypebeast, took to Instagram to celebrate the accolade as Future received a plaque to commemorate the accomplishment. To make things better, the rapper received the plaque during a celebration for his 38th birthday.
Shortly after “Life Is Good” was released at the beginning of last year, the track debuted at No. 2 on the singles chart becoming Future’s highest-charting song at the time. It held on to that title until this year when “Way 2 Sexy” reached No. 1 to become the first chart-topping single in Future’s career. While “Life Is Good” may be the first Diamond-certified single for Future, it’s the third for Drake as “Sicko Mode” with Travis Scott and “God’s Plan” previously surpassed the 10 million sales mark.

As has been the case for the Lakers on a number of occasions this season, it wasn’t easy, as L.A. had to come back from a double-digit deficit in the second half to take a late lead, only to be sent to overtime once again this season on a wild Chris Duarte three-pointer.
HOW!? Chris Duarte sinks the tough triple to FORCE OT in Indiana! #NBARooks
In that overtime period, James took over as he seemed to have a little bit of added motivation thanks to some overzealous fans courtside. Eventually, those fans crossed the line with something they said to James and he called over an official and arena security and had them removed from the game.
Shortly after that, James put the dagger in the Pacers with a deep three, which he celebrated emphatically, and a midrange bucket to close the door on Indiana’s hopes for another late comeback.
LeBron’s 5th triple of the game extends the @Lakers lead in OT… he’s got a season-high 37!
James finished with 39 points, six assists, and five rebounds to lead the Anthony Davis-less Lakers to a win to pull back to .500 at 10-10, and while we don’t know right now what was said to make LeBron call an official over to get those fans tossed, we’ll surely learn more shortly when he speaks to the media following the game.
UPDATE: LeBron spoke briefly about the incident after the game, saying the fan crossed the line with obscene gestures and language.
Asked about this, LeBron says there is a difference between cheering for your team and crossing a line with gestures and words, things “I would never say to a fan, and they should never say to a player.”https://t.co/ESynMwlr16
LeBron James doesn’t say what exactly happened with the fans who were ejected in OT, but says generally when obscene gestures and language come into it, it can’t be tolerated.
Today marks one week since Young Dolph was tragically shot and killed in his hometown of Memphis. The rapper was at Makeda’s Cookies, a bakery he frequently visited, when two men pulled to the property and fired shots into the bakery. Investigators continue to work towards finding the two suspects in the matter as they recently released images from surveillance camera footage that shows the two individuals moments before they began firing. As close friends, family, and fans continue to grieve his death, Young Dolph’s family released a statement that reflected on their loss.
“There are no words that exist, that sufficiently express the pain we are feeling as a family,” they wrote according to Complex. “Losing Adolph, Dolph, Man-Man, changes our lives forever. And while we will take each day as it comes, we are comforted in knowing that he leaves a legacy that reflects his heart. A heart that was for his family. A heart that was for the people.” They continued:
We are grateful for the outpouring of love. We are grateful that his godly obligation to show kindness to the world is being acknowledged.
As a family, we were blessed to call him our son, our nephew, our brother, our cousin, our partner and our Father. And now, we have the honor of calling him our angel. A role he has always played.
Dolph’s family also released the statement with a quote from author Rudyard Kipling. “If you can talk with the crowd and keep your virtue, or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch,” it read. “If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run- Yours is the earth and everything that’s in it, And-which is more-you’ll be a man my son.”
Last month, Moneybagg Yo shared an updated version of his fourth albumA Gangsta’s Pain with seven additional songs including a remix to “Wokesha” with Lil Wayne and Ashanti. The deluxe reissue provided more reasons to enjoy Moneybagg Yo’s most successful project as the original effort spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts. Moneybagg continues his promotion of the deluxe for A Gangsta’s Pain with a brand new video for “Scorpio” with Ja’niyah. The visual is a nostalgic effort that finds the rapper sharing how he won the heart of a Scorpio.
The new video continues a streak of visuals that Moneybagg has released for tracks on A Gangsta’s Pain. His most recent release was a stern video for “Switches & Dracs” with Lil Durk and EST Gee which arrived after a laid-back effort for “One Of Them Nights” with Jhene Aiko. Elsewhere, Moneybagg lent his voice to a few of artists that include Meek Mill (“Hot”) and Belly (“Zero Love“). He’s also set to appear on the deluxe reissue of Polo G’s Hall Of Fame album on a track titled “Start Up Again.”
You can watch the video for “Scorpio” above.

Each week our staff of film and TV experts surveys the entertainment landscape to select the ten best new/newish shows available for you to stream at home. We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates on what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings may get hurt, but so be it, this is an important service for you, our readers. With that said, here are our selections for this week.
Are you in the mood for an intense survival epic and psychological horror story with plenty of coming-of-age touches? How about all of that with Juliette Lewis and Christina Ricci starring as the adult versions of two female athletes who were irretrievably shaken by their experiences after a plane crash in the wilderness? Sure, that sounds like a stressful description, but it’s also a hell of a watch. Not to mention another reason not to hop onto an airplane these days. Watch it on Showtime.
It’s a mitzvah in a world like this to turn the other cheek, bite the tongue, and generally disregard the impoliteness, ridiculousness, and stupidity of others. But wow, what a lift. Perhaps that’s why it’s so freeing to see Larry David and a cavalcade of stars and familiar faces push against the minutiae of polite culture with serial honesty. Who else could reject someone’s plea to pray for a sick relative without getting stabbed or mock the fakery of gazing deeply into someone’s eyes during a toast when all you want to do is freaking eat? Larry is no hero. He’s an asshole, but he’s our asshole and he’s back for another round of Curb. Watch it on HBO.
Before his new Disney+ series drops, Jeremy Renner is rolling out this gritty drama that tasks him with doing what he does best on screen: busting heads and playing an unlikable a**hole. We kid (sort of). Renner’s Mike McLusky heads up a family of power brokers who keep the crime-infested city of Kingstown in check, a family that includes Dianne West and Kyle Chandler. Their unique, fairly violent version of checks-and-balances is quickly coming to an end though as McLusky predicts new gangs and powerful figures are poised to throw the town into chaos and start a bloody war. Bad for Hawkeye, good for us. Watch it on Paramount Plus.
Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell reunite for this Apple TV+ tragicomedy based on a popular podcast, which itself is based on a true story about a hapless middle-aged businessman and the charismatic, conniving therapist who manipulates him for nearly 30 years. Ferrell plays the first of the duo, a man named Marty who can’t order a deli sandwich without shaking in his boots. He’s inherited a garment business from his dead parents and his brash sister (the always terrific Kathryn Hahn) demands he visit a therapist to get a handle on his self-confidence issues before they tank the family business. Enter Rudd, still charming as hell but with a sinister layer hiding underneath that practiced likability. As Marty’s shrink, Dr. Ike Herschkopf, Rudd channels the vibes of both a cult leader and a conman, draining Marty of his money, his happiness, and his will to live over their decades-long friendship. It’s easy to find the lighter moments in this bizarre tale, but both Rudd and Ferrell play against type to bring a pervading sense of melancholy to the whole thing. The moral of the story? Be careful who your shrink is. Watch it on Apple TV+.
Mindy Kaling is back with a new show about, you guessed it, the sex lives of college girls. The show follows four students trying to navigate life and/or love and/or freedom on the campus of a prestigious university. There’s some heart in there and some coming of age and a whole lot of drinking out of red plastic cups. Feels like this one is worth a shot. Watch it on HBO Max.
How To with John Wilson changed my life: I will never look at scaffolding the same way ever again. Or furniture covers. Or risotto. In every episode, New York City-based filmmaker John Wilson edits together seemingly mundane footage into a compelling narrative about life’s quirks. It’s occasionally heartbreaking, but it’s always hilarious. Make it a double feature with Adult Swim’s Joe Pera Talks with You. Watch it on HBO Max.
In the seven-episode Netflix series from former Narcos showrunner Eric Newman, Wesley Snipes plays Carlton, a prideful drain on his famous comedian brother’s bank account and an impediment to him getting some distance between his bad habits. Kevin Hart is the star of the show as The Kid, and he’s never been better as his character is pushed deeper and deeper in a hole with the aid of his brother. But Hart feeds off of Snipes’ layered and wildly compelling portrait of a conman trying to work the angles no matter the heaving danger in front of him or the evidence against him, navigating these moments with bluster, charm, and pitty. In short, if you liked Uncut Gems but need something a little less frenetic for the sake of your blood pressure, this is for you. Watch it on Netflix.
The first of South Park‘s Paramount Plus special is here and it is… strange! Stan and Kyle are grown up and things are all kinds of weird, just in general. You probably know what to expect from South Park by now, so if the idea of this is tickling your brain a little bit, you’ll probably want to dive in and check it out. Or don’t. You are in control of your own destiny, people. Watch it on Paramount Plus.
Rosamund Pike somehow does not play a sociopath while starring in this sprawling adaptation of one of the most popular fantasy book series (by Robert Jordan) ever. Here, she portrays Moiraine, who’s a member of an exclusive, magical, all-ladies organization known as Aes Sedai. The story follows Moiraine’s dangerous quest with a group that contains the prophesied Dragon Reborn, who shall be the key to humanity’s fate. It’s epic and Thrones-y. Watch it on Amazon.
Esmé Creed-Miles is back as the pint-sized, badass title character, who’s still attempting to defeat the mysterious powers that be while Dermot Mulroney’s operative is as sinister as ever. The third season promises more fight scenes and thrills, all while more characters get backstories, and Mireille Enos’ character forms one half of a lady power duo to cross generations. Watch it on Amazon Prime.
The Great? More like The Great Show. Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult are back as Catherine the Great and Emperor Peter III, respectively, in season two of the wickedly funny Hulu series. If you like scheming and backstabbing, this is the show for you. Watch it on Hulu.
The MCU is in holiday mood for this series, which begins to pass the bow from Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton (who desperately wants a real retirement) to Kate Bishop, played by Hailee Steinfeld, who hits the arrow-flinging mark while learning the ropes. The two battle through some sort of Christmas hellscape that feels awfully surreal, including a Captain America-themed musical and the entry of Vera Farmiga into the MCU. Also, Florence Pugh’s Yelena is on the way for Hawkeye, so watch out, man. Watch it on Disney Plus.
Everyone’s favorite collection of monsters is back, once again, this time for a slightly delayed third season. Things left off with the Roy family in turmoil, as always, although this time from friendly fire, thanks to noted screw-up and amateur rapper Kendall making a big move. The new season should get ugly in the best possible way, so hop on board week-to-week if you’re already a fan or load up a binge and get caught up to see what everyone’s yammering about all fall. Watch it on HBO Max.

This is a surprisingly star-studded — Ellie Kemper! Rob Delaney! Kenan Thompson! — addition to the Home Alone franchise, written by SNL veterans Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell. The plot remains the same: A 10-year-old boy gets left behind when his parents head off to Tokyo and he has to defend his house from various bumbling criminals. The reviews so far are… not great, but it might be worth a go if you’re looking for a nostalgia blast to the face or something to watch with younger kids. Order yourself a large cheese pizza first. Watch it on Disney Plus.
Believe it or not, it’s been 15 years since the first episode of Psych, and while the show went off the air in 2014, the enthusiasm of its fans (an online gang of kind-hearted pineapple enthusiasts known as Psychos) has yet to dim, creating a clear incentive for the concept to continue with what is now the third movie. And this time it’s all about Dule Hill’s Burton Guster as he works to clear some of the mystery standing in the way of his own happily ever after. From the looks of this, everyone is back and in top form, offering hope that the winning formula of the show may carry over from start to finish — something that hasn’t always been the case with the films. Though any amount of Psych is very welcome. Watch it on Peacock.
You like Turner and Hooch, right? Of course you do. Tom Hanks + a dog = good ’80s movie. OK, well, what if Turner and Hooch was set in the post-apocalyptic future… and instead of working as a cop, Tom Hanks is one of the last people on Earth and he travels the planet with his dog and a robot… and the movie was directed by the guy who did the awesome “Hardhome” and “Battle of the Bastards” episodes of Game of Thrones. It’s Finch time. Watch it on Apple TV+.
Jeymes Samuel’s slick, stylish Netflix Western is a “pick your fighter” lineup of gun-slinging, swag-dripping Black cowboys ready to dust off the history books and give us a more accurate, diverse representation of the Old West. Jonathan Majors is having a hell of a year and here, he imbues the deadly Nat Love with some impressive comedic beats that make it easy to root for the vengeance-minded outlaw – unless, of course, you’re swayed by the prospect of Regina King riding a horse and f*cking sh*t up in every scene. (Who wouldn’t be?) Idris Elba, LaKeith Stanfield, and Zazie Beetz round out the main cast members with the most things to do on screen and all of the shoot-outs and train robberies and saloon fights are timed perfectly to an eclectic mix of Reggae/Dancehall bangers produced by Samuel and collaborator Jay-Z. This ain’t your grandpa’s Western, and really, that’s kind of the point. Watch it on Netflix.
Andrew Garfield is giving theater-kids everywhere a musical-thirst-trap performance in this Lin-Manuel Miranda-directed biopic that pays tribute to Jonathan Larson, the artistic genius who changed Broadway with his seminal musical Rent. This film examines Larson’s life before fans were belting out Season of Love though, with Garfield giving an award-worthy turn as a restless visionary who feels the suffocating deadline of turning 30 without having produced a great show. The supporting cast is terrific, Garfield is doing his best work, and Miranda infuses everything with a genuine sense of love and admiration that makes it hard not to root for this one. Watch it on Netflix.
Red Notice may be making its Netflix debut (after an initial theatrical drop last week), but there’s still a cost for admission outside your subscription fee; a requirement that you unplug your brain a little and let the reliance (or overreliance) on cliches, exotic locales, and movie megastar charms wash over you. If you want to do that owing to a desire for Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Nic Cage Stealing The Declaration Of Independence nostalgias, cool. You’re going to going to get a lot out of Gal Gadot having just so much fun with a villainous turn as a master thief while Ryan Reynolds and The Rock bumble, banter, and double-cross through a sort of buddy-cop routine while globetrotting in pursuit of McGuffin-y antiquities. Just don’t look for much more. Watch it on Netflix.
5. Last Night in Soho (VOD)
Working Title
Nostalgia can be dangerous, but if you’re nostalgic for when you saw Last Night in Soho in theaters, now you can watch it again at home (hopefully your ghost-free home). And if you never got around to checking out Edgar Wright’s retro psychological horror film starring Thomasin McKenzie, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Diana Rigg in her final role, here’s your chance. Watch it on VOD.
The debut film from writer-director Stephen Karam, based on his Tony-winning play, sounds a little too real for the holidays. Let’s let the official description explain why: “As three generations of Erik Blake’s family gather to celebrate Thanksgiving at his daughter’s apartment in Manhattan, darkness falls and eerie things start to go bump in the night, laying bare their deepest fears – and the love that binds them together.” It’s got an interesting cast — Amy Schumer! Beanie Feldstein! Steven Yeun! June Squibb! — and it’s got a great pedigree, so, you know, maybe give it a shot. Watch it on Showtime.
Halle Berry’s MMA movie made a deal with Netflix and now Halle Berry’s MMA movie is on Netflix. Yes, that sentence said “Halle Berry’s MMA movie twice but, to be fair, it’s a phrase it takes a little bit of time to wrap your head around. Berry makes her directorial debut and stars as a disgraced fighter named Jackie Justice (Jackie Justice!) who is back in the cage to deal with various personal demons. It’s Halle Berry’s MMA movie! The reviews are pretty good! Watch it on Netflix.
As odd as it is to have a movie about two of the greatest athletes of all time told centered on, not the women winning Grand Slams and Olympic gold medals, but their determined, driven father – King Richard works. It works because Will Smith exudes charisma and charm but he also brings a believable grit and weary defiance to the role of Richard Williams, the man who gave tennis not one, but two female legends. This is Serena and Venus’ story, told from the perspective of the man who believed in them when no one else did so, yeah, grab a box of tissues before you sit down to watch. Watch it on HBO Max.
You might be wondering, “There are already nine million books and documentaries and academic studies about the Beatles out there. Do we really need The Beatles: Get Back?” I can answer that: yes, we do. The three-part doc comes from Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson and includes never-before-seen footage of John, Paul, George, and Ringo in the studio recording their final masterpiece. I’ve got a feeling you’ll like it. Watch it on Disney Plus.
The Weeknd has spent the last six months laying off hints about his upcoming sixth album. The singer has often referred to it as The Dawn, but has yet to officially confirm its title. Based on recent interviews, as well as the release of the project’s presumed lead single “Take My Breath,” it seems like The Weeknd’s upcoming album is close to arriving. While the wait continues, The Weeknd shared what listeners can expect to hear on the album during a recent interview with Billboard.
“Picture the album being like the listener is dead,” The Weeknd said. “And they’re stuck in this purgatory state, which I always imagined would be like being stuck in traffic waiting to reach the light at the end of the tunnel.” He continued, “And while you’re stuck in traffic, they got a radio station playing in the car, with a radio host guiding you to the light and helping you transition to the other side. So it could feel celebratory, could feel bleak, however, you want to make it feel, but that’s what The Dawn is for me.”
The Weeknd also spoke about the blend of genres that will appear on the album. “You’ll hear EDM, hip-hop, and three other types of sounds in one song—and somehow, we make it work,” he said.

As such, Denver is in a bit of a spiral, losing five in a row to fall to 9-9 and, unfortunately, the bad news continued on Wednesday. Backup guard PJ Dozier had to be carried off the floor with a leg injury on Tuesday night against Portland and an MRI confirmed that he suffered a torn ACL and would be out “indefinitely,” per the team.
Injury update: PJ Dozier has been diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee. He will be out indefinitely. #MileHighBasketball
As was the case with Murray’s torn ACL, the Nuggets don’t provide a timetable on the injury, instead choosing to use the indefinite label, but one would anticipate that Dozier’s season is done as an ACL is typically an injury that takes close to a full calendar year to return from. Hopefully Dozier can make a full recovery and return to the court next season at full strength, as he has become an important rotation player in Denver.
In the meantime, the Nuggets will have to further lean on Monte Morris, Austin Rivers, and Facu Campazzo in the backcourt, as well rookie Bones Hyland for more minutes and contributions.
NHC is the new supergroup of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, Jane’s Addiction/Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Dave Navarro, and Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney. They first met in the 90’s, when Hawkins and Chaney were part of Alanis Morisette’s touring band and Navarro had played on the album version of “You Oughts Know.”
During the pandemic, when their band’s respective tour schedules were being halted, they hit Hawkins’ studio in LA just to have some fun. Songs started emerging and as Navarro told Rolling Stone,” A light bulb went off and we realized we had an actual band and were going to make a record.”
So after their debut performance at Pearl Jam’s Ohana Festival in September, they played their first headlining show on Tuesday night at The Troubadour in West Hollywood. With Hawkins on the drums and as the group’s lead vocalist, they coursed through new songs that they’ve been working on for an album that’s due out next year, like the already released “Devil That I Know.” They also played tunes from Hawkin’s solo releases, a Queen cover, and not one, but two David Bowie covers. First, it was “Rock And Roll Suicide,” then they closed with “Ziggy Stardust.” “We’re gonna end with one more Bowie song,” Hawkins said to the crowd. “Cause… it’s f****** David Bowie!”
But it was more than just the trio on stage. Foo Fighters’ guitarist Pat Smear joined them on stage, as did Hawkins’ son Shane and Foo Fighters back-up singer Barbara Gruska for the final number. “We’re not supposed to make a big deal about what a badass he is,” Hawkins said of his son. Navarro, shirtless and wearing a pork pie hat, played a wicked lead guitar on the set-closing song for the enamored crowd.
Watch the video in 4K of NHC playing “Ziggy Stardust” at the top of this post, and be on the lookout for an NHC record in 2022.
