Boy Wonder had a bulge too big for Television. Burt Ward, who starred as Robin alongside Adam West in the ’60s television show, Batman, was told to take penis shrinking medication by the studio in order to fit into Robin’s costume. 20th Century Fox / Getty Images “They thought that Robin had a very large bulge for television,” explained Ward to PageSix. “I took them for three days and then I decided that they can probably keep me from having children. I stopped doing that and I just used my cape to cover it.” Ward also explained to PageSix that his...
“The Box” is everywhere. “EEE EUH” is echoing across the globe. Roddy Ricch‘s “The Box” is indisputably the biggest song of 2020 so far. Well, some may wish to dispute that Justin Bieber‘s new single, “Yummy”, is more deserving of this title. “The Box” already beat out “Yummy” for #1 on Spotify’s Top 50 Streaming list in the United States, but we’re still waiting for Billboard‘s Hot 100 to update. “Yummy” will enter the Hot 100 this week and, as massive of an artist as The Biebs is, it’s looking like Roddy Ricch’s song has a chance of clenching the...

Two decades later, this sleeper hit by the “Princess of R&B” is still one of her coldest records. Aaliyah, a pioneer of the Hip-Hop Soul sound that defined urban music in the 1990s and early 2000s, released one of her most chill records 20 years ago today (January 11).

Hell, it’s one of the only songs you can even stream at...
Guess that’s what makes him a Dream Chaser. $100,000/year or dinner with Jay-Z? This thought experiment has been posed for years. It is based on an assumption that a sizeable faction of people think Jay’s business acumen is so sharp that, within the span of a dinner, he could bestow you with the requisite knowledge to secure a yearly salary that exceeds $100k. These people believe Hov is one of the most valuable assets to have in their corner and they have good reason to believe that. It appears being under his wing is such a surefire mark of...
