What began as slight trepidation among CBS News staffers when Bari Weiss was installed as editor-in-chief of the news organization last October has evolved into outright chaos in the wake of longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley's unceremonious dismissal on Tuesday. It's the latest crisis to engulf the newsroom months after Weiss overhauled the flagship CBS Evening News program, bumping up morning host Tony Dokoupil to lead anchor. Last week, Weiss fired a slate of trusted correspondents and producers and hired tech journalist and filmmaker Nick Bilton as executive producer of 60 Minutes, the gold-standard television news program that has…

Or are you among those who discovered the Quebec duo Angine de Poitrine this year and can no longer get the nervous riff of 'Fabienk' out of your…
Ben Folds has written an open letter to rally support for the National Symphony Orchestra after Trump’s name was removed from the Kennedy Center. The orchestra is based at the arts venue in Washington DC, which became the centre of a political storm at the end of last year when its board voted to rename it the Trump-Kennedy Center. The controversial move was reversed last week when a US judge ruled that the venue cannot be renamed without congressional approval, meaning Trump’s name will be taken off the institution’s title and façade. Now, Folds, who resigned as the National Symphony Orchestra’s artistic advisor when Trump was elected chairman of the Kennedy…

Instead, he’ll serve two years of probation for the misdemeanor offenses. In a statement provided to Rolling Stone, his attorney Sarah Chervinsky, described the incident as “nothing more than a minor Mardi Gras bar tussle.” LaBeouf came to court “wanting to take accountability for his part in what happened, and he has done so,” Chervinsky added. “Now he’s looking forward to focusing on family, work, and…

vote7.0 Bands: CRUENT CAEDES Duration: 01:30:44 Available from: 04/30/2026 Label: Zombi Danz Records Player not yet available. After five years of silence, Caedes Cruenta re-emerge from the shadows with Ὅρκος Ἐκλεκτῶν, their fourth work and declaration of intent that knows no half measures: over ninety minutes in length, twelve tracks and the architecture of a double album that imposes itself as a long and abrasive ritual. In short, not a return designed to easily win over new followers, but, on the contrary, an oath aimed at those who already know the rough and hieratic language of the Hellenic black metal…
Jay-Z’s Roots Picnic freestyle was not merely a diss record played live. It was a reminder of the strange position he now occupies: still one of rap’s most dangerous technicians, but also a mogul institution whose grievances carry the weight of boardroom power. The performance, where he appeared to send shots at Tony Buzbee, Drake, Ye, Dame Dash, Nicki Minaj and Tory Lanez, has been treated online as a question of effectiveness. For Jay-Z, the better question is whether the battle helped his legacy or made him look too eager to prove he can still win one. For fans of…
