The Right-Wing Backlash Against 'Barbie' Is Hilariously Flopping

From “Margot Robbie is mid” to complaints about Ken not having balls, they’re throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks

Ben Shapiro, Ted Cruz and other “conservative” Republican right wing-nuts criticize and condemn the Barbie movie only to make asses of themselves and have their ‘boycott’ flop.  LOL

[INFO] “Black Swan” dei BTS fa il suo debutto live nello show di James Corden

“I BTS hanno calcato il palco del ‘The Late Late Show’ per esibirsi dal vivo, e per la prima volta in televisione, con il loro nuovo singolo ‘Black Swan’. 

Una foresta buia sullo sfondo e una cascata e un lago ghiacciato riprodotti su video schermi hanno contribuito a rendere cupa l’atmosfera della canzone in questa sua versione indicibilmente sensazionale, ricca di energia e impreziosita da una struggente coreografia eseguita a piedi nudi dai membri. 

I BTS, reduci dall’esibizione ai Grammy in collaborazione con Lil Nas X di domenica scorsa, nelle prime settimane di gennaio avevano rilasciato ‘Black Swan’, traccia accompagnata da un art film diretto da YongSeok Choi e che vedeva come protagonisti dei ballerini della MN Dance Company. Il singolo è un estratto da ‘Map of the Soul: 7′, nuovo album del gruppo in uscita il prossimo 21 febbraio, che seguirà l’EP dell’aprile 2019 ‘Map of the Soul: Persona’ e che ha già guadagnato, nella sola prima settimana, 3.42 milioni di preordini di magazzino, battendo così il record detenuto precedentemente dagli stessi BTS. 

Durante la loro apparizione al ‘The Late Late Show’, oltre ad esibirsi, i membri hanno anche giocato a nascondino con l’attore Aston Kutcher per poi essere intervistati dal presentatore del programma, James Corden. Durante l’intervista in questione i BTS hanno raccontato della loro esperienza ai Grammy e parlato, tra le altre cose, anche del loro nuovo album e delle loro elaborate coreografie”.

Grace Jones performing at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London on October 10, 1981.

Photographer: David Corio

"Back then the policy for a lot of shows was you had the first three songs to get the shot and then you were thrown out of the pit. But for this one I was allowed to shoot the whole show. The bassist came on with a Grace Jones mask so we all thought it was her. The drummer wore on too. And then Grace came on with a gorilla outfit. She ripped it off and just went into it. It was quite an epic performance. I guess it's the only time I've photographed an accordion player."

Notorious B.I.G. at Cypress Hills Cemetery, Brooklyn, 1997.

Photographer: Michael Lavine

"I found Biggie to be a very quiet soul. He's very large but when I met him he was very sweet, so it was this contrast in character. I swear, I was scared when I met him, but he was so sweet. I remember driving in my car with Puffy and Biggie in the graveyard and Puffy was giving me a hard time because Elvis was on my stereo, but Biggie was like, 'Come on man, Elvis is the man. Relax man.' The graveyard shot wasn't planned. It was shot with a long lens to get that ominous feeling. If you snap a shot, there normally you won't get that look. I just wanted to cram in as many tombstones as I could to get that effect. I knew it was good, but I didn't know it was going to have the resonance it did three weeks later."

"When people look at that picture, they say how great it is that he has her in bed with her hand down her crotch playing with herself, but there's another story. She'd been married that morning. It was a Rolling Stone photo shoot on the same day as her wedding. She asked me to do the wedding pictures, and I did out of generosity. When we actually got to the studio, she walked off the set after 15 minutes saying she'd had enough. In her mind it was her wedding day, I challenged her saying that we didn't have the shot, that there was still no warmth and no connection with the audience. That picture ended up being taken in a very tense situation. When it ran later, though, it was pretty great. So what happens on paper, sometimes it's very hard for the reader to understand how it happened."
