The Disturbed frontman has shared a video of Ukrainian musician Daria Zaritskaya belting out the Chicago metal outfit’s signature song.
“Awesome,” Draiman writes in an Instagram post alongside a metal horns emoji. “Well done @dariazaritskaya!”

Adele sang about how she will only soak up wine in the aptly titled song “I Drink Wine.” And according to Lizzo, that’s exactly what happens when the two of them hang out.
The singer appeared Wednesday on the U.K.’s Heart radio and spilled about their friendship. One of the hosts wanted to know if Adele ever invited Lizzo over for tea.
“It wasn’t tea,” the singer giggled before explaining why that is. “She drinks and — oh god, and funny enough I drink it, too. But I wouldn’t dare request [tea] at her house.” So they instead drink “wine with ice.”
Lizzo also politely declined to reveal too much about what Adele’s house is like, but did say it looks “real English” on the inside.
“I was like, ‘Oh, I feel like I’m in England,'” she described. When pressed on what the house smelled like, she deadpanned, “[I drank] too much wine. I don’t remember.”
Adele and Lizzo have been longtime friends after meeting at a Grammys party a few years back. The “About Damn Time” singer previously said she thinks one of the reasons they click is because they share the same astrological sign, which is Taurus.

Guitar playing fans of The Grateful Dead can display their axes with the help of Jerry Garcia. Well, actually, his hand.
Guitar.com reports that GuitarGrip has come out with a new guitar hanger that’s basically a replica of Garcia’s hand coming out from the wall and shaped so a guitar can easily rest inside it. The hanger is “inspired by existing photos and guidance from Jerry’s family,” and is finished with gold and wood accents.
“GuitarGrips has created a beautiful homage to our father!” Jerry’s daughter Trixie shares. “Nearly as exquisite as Jerry’s playing, these grips rock.” Mike Ryan, founder of GuitarGrip, notes, “Jerry was one of a kind, and we worked really hard to bring his unique personality and the timeless vibe of his music into this series.”
But the hangers don’t come cheap — they’re priced between $235 and $295. There are other options priced significantly less, including four decorative wall plates inspired by Garcia’s famed Alligator, Tiger, Wolf and Rosebud guitars. They cost around $125.
The Jerry Garcia collection is available now at guitargrip.com.
Rihanna returned to the stage for the halftime performance at Super Bowl LVII, but she could’ve had her halftime show a few years back. The singer turned down the opportunity in 2019, in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick, who was ousted from the NFL for kneeling during the national anthem in protest of police brutality.
In her cover story for British Vogue, Rihanna shared her belief that “there’s still a lot of mending to be done,” but took the opportunity for the message it would send, especially after last year’s hip-hop halftime show.
“It’s powerful to break those doors, and have representation at such a high, high level and a consistent level,” she says. “Two Super Bowls back-to-back, you know, representing the urban community, globally. It is powerful. It sends a really strong message.”
After Rih took the Super Bowl stage Sunday, and revealed she was pregnant again, footage surfaced of her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, cheering her on. Rihanna says he’s her best friend, noting their parenthood journey has had a positive effect on their bond.
“We’re best friends with a baby … We have to be on the same page, but we’ve always kind of had that in our relationship,” she says. “Everything changes when you have a baby but I wouldn’t say it’s done anything but made us closer.” Watching Rocky with their son, she adds, made her realize “that the validation that you really need as a boy is from your father.”
As far as a new album goes, Rih admits “there’s this pressure that I put on myself. That if it’s not better than that then it is not even worth it.” So, instead of “waiting until this feels right,” she’s going to play. She wants to release an album sometime this year.
Rihanna shocked fans in December when posting a first look at her son on TikTok. But, as it turns out, it was a deliberate move to thwart the paparazzi.
British Voguefeatures Rihanna as its March cover star and revealed the cover shoot was apparently intended to be the baby boy’s introduction — on her and father A$AP Rocky‘s terms. Those plans were foiled when paparazzi managed to snap photos of him.
“I just went straight into protective mode,” Rihanna said. “Like there wasn’t even time for rage.” The singer recalled speaking with Rocky on how to “move forward” because, as she said, “It just feels so icky, like a violation.”
They didn’t want the first images of their son being photos they hadn’t consented to, so Rihanna posted a video of her baby boy on TikTok, which amassed over 20 million views. She also sent approved pictures of her infant to a “friendly blogger,” in an attempt to further derail deals to publish the paps’ unauthorized photos.
“We get to decide as parents when and how we do that. End of story,” Rihanna said. “Throw me to the wolves. Do what you want with me. But [my child] doesn’t have a say in any of this.”
The singer continued, “We’ve been protecting him thus far and you don’t have any consent to be posting photos or selling photos of my child, a minor. Get the hell out of here with that.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Rihanna acknowledged fans’ hunger for a new album. She last released Anti in 2016 and, according to the singer, she hopes fans won’t have to wait too much longer.
While she said she wants to release something “this year,” the comments were made before she knew she was pregnant with her second child.
The March issue of British Vogue is available on newsstands and via digital download from Tuesday 21st February.
(NOTE LANGUAGE) Tom Cruise is famous for risk-taking both onscreen and in real life so that his characters can save the world, but according to movie legend Steven Spielberg, Cruise’s biggest gamble saved Hollywood itself.
The admission was revealed in a moment between the director and Mission: Impossible franchise star and producer that was uploaded to Instagram by fellow nominee Kartiki Gonsalves in a now-deleted video from Tuesday’s annual Oscar nominees luncheon.
It showed the War of the Worlds collaborators embracing warmly, before Spielberg congratulates Cruise on the “great honor” of Tom receiving the Milestone Award at the upcoming Producers Guild Awards. “You saved Hollywood’s a**!” Spielberg said referring to Top Gun: Maverick.
Cruise laughed and shook his head humbly.
Still embracing him, Spielberg can be overheard saying, “And you might have saved theatrical distribution. Seriously!”
Cruise, as the star and producer of Top Gun: Maverick, insisted the movie not be released to streaming during the pandemic, delaying it instead for theatrical release.
The gamble paid off: The film coaxed COVID-shy audiences back to theaters, resulting in a $1.48 billion take in theaters worldwide. Maverick nabbed six Oscar nominations to boot, including one for Best Picture.
The friends will meet again on March 12, when Jimmy Kimmel hosts the 95th Annual Academy Awards, which will air on ABC: Spielberg’s autobiographical The Fabelmans is up for seven trophies.
(NEW YORK) — Never-before-seen footage from the 1986 exploration of the site of the Titanic shipwreck is set to be released Wednesday.
The footage was captured by cameras in a three-person research submersible named Alvin and the remotely operated Jason Jr. in July 1986, which marked the first time humans saw the ship since its doomed maiden voyage in 1912.
Most of the footage set to be released has never before been seen by the public, according to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will premiere over 80 minutes worth of footage Wednesday night.
The footage will begin with Alvin approaching the Titanic, then exploring the bow and parking on its deck. It will also include interior shots of the Titanic from Jason Jr.
It will also show the chief officer’s cabin and a promenade window, the exterior of the ship and the telemotor used to transmit steering and engine controls to the engine room.
The Titanic hit an iceberg on its trip from Southampton, England, to New York City on April 14, 1912. It was carrying over 2,200 passengers and crew.
Over 1,500 people died when the ship sank.
A joint exploration run by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and a French oceanographic exploration organization, Institut français de recherche pour l’exploitation de la mer, found the ship wreckage in September 1985.
Scientists then returned to the site nine months later and captured the footage.
In 1986, 11 dives were made to the Titanic’s resting place almost 12,500 feet below the ocean’s surface.
