For the 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Alanis Morissette was paired to do a duet of “You’re So Vain” with Olivia Rodrigo. At the last minute, Morissette dropped out of performing the Carly Simon classic. Rodrigo performed it solo during the November 5th ceremony. Morissette participated in rehearsals with Rodrigo, so this left many scratching their heads as to why. “When she ran through it the first time with Olivia, it seemed like they weren’t prepared,” an insider claimed. This led some to speculate that the singer may just not be up to the tune. That’s…

An underground tunnel has been found at Taposiris Magna in Egypt. Which is, ominously, a temple dedicated to Osiris, the god of death. The 6.5-foot-tall, 4,300-foot-long was found 43 feet underground by archaeologist Kathleen Martinez. In addition to the tunnel that sits west of the ancient city of Alexandria, she also unearthed two Ptolemaic-era alabaster statues and several ceramic vessels/pots. Which may or may not be part of the mystery of Queen Cleopatra’s final resting place. The tunnel was described as a “geometric miracle” by The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities in a statement. The tunnel is “an exact…

Back in March, Twitter’s controversial new owner posted a meme that included the artist’s work.

In dollars,” in Japanese.  While Satō’s tone heavily implies this is a joke, some commenters believe he should pursue legal action against Musk. The meme in question has an illustration of his character Aya…

The reason for this recent lawsuit dates back to 2013 when then showrunner Frank Darabont was fired. Darabont and his agency CAA claimed AMC “deprived him of millions in profits…
