It looks like we’ll have new Silversun Pickups music to listen to next year.
In a tweet Tuesday, the “Panic Switch” outfit wrote “‘6’ in 2022,” presumably referring to the band’s sixth studio album. The post also includes a photo of a balloon shaped like the number 6 alongside a bunch of amps and guitars.
Silversun Pickups released their fifth album, Widow’s Weeds, in 2019. It spawned the singles “It Doesn’t Matter Why” and “Don’t Know Yet.”
Last year, SSPU dropped a cover of the ’80s Martika hit “Toy Soldiers.”
On Tuesday, the “When I’m Gone” rockers posted a clip of the Ozzy Osbourne solo classic “Crazy Train,” along with a video of the letter C. Today, they’ve put up a snippet of the Heart tune “Crazy on You,” accompanied by a video of the letter R.
While the initial teaser made it seem that Dirty Honey might be hinting at a cover of “Crazy Train,” the “Crazy on You” post has sparked some new theories, including that the band might be gearing up to release a new song called “Crazy.”
If spelling the word “Crazy” is indeed what the posts are leading up to, Dirty Honey will hit the last letter on Saturday. Until then, stay tuned.
Dirty Honey is already set to go crazy on the road in 2022 on the co-headlining Young Guns tour with Mammoth WVH, which kicks off January 18 in Philadelphia.
So So Def Records founder Jermaine Dupri is inviting his fans to enjoy something completely new for 2021, his JD’s Vegan ice cream.
The Songwriters Hall of Fame member’s dairy-free frozen-dessert brand is available in six different flavors: Chocolate My Way, Key Lime Pie, Cookies and Cream, Strawberry Sweetheart, Welcome to Atlanta Peach Cobbler, and Apple Butter. JD’s Vegan is now being sold in 736 Walmart stores nationwide and on Walmart.com. The brand plans to expand to an additional 300 stores in the spring.
“I cannot wait to bring the entire lineup of these exceptionally delicious flavors into Walmart stores,” Dupri says in a statement. “Giving people the chance to experience their favorite traditional ice cream flavors in a healthy, 100 percent dairy-free format is major. These ice creams are the real deal and will make you fall in love with plant-based eating.”
Dupri, who changed to a vegan diet nearly 20 years ago, is expanding from music after producing hits for numerous stars, including Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Usher, Ludacris, Nelly and many more.
2022 is just days away and, with that, will come a tidal wave of new gym memberships and promises to get in shape. To help excite people for their swiftly approaching new workout schedule, Justin Timberlake shared a video of him working out side-by-side with wife Jessica Biel.
“Swolemates. See you in 2022,” Justin captioned the Instagram video that showed them doing a series of moves that strengthens the core muscles — like plank shoulder touches and hip dips. Inspiring music plays as the two complete their reps at their gym.
While the duo tries to hide their expressions, there is one segment in the video that shows Justin’s grimacing while balancing on his side as he touches his knee to his chest. As for Jessica, she is much better at masking how she feels about going through the motions of her challenging routine.
Finally, when it’s over, Justin is seen on all fours to seemingly catch his breath as Jessica sits on her knees and grins in relief.
(NEW YORK) — A jury has reached a verdict in the criminal trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of serial sex offender Jeffrey Epstein who is facing charges related to the alleged abuse and trafficking of underage girls.
Maxwell faces a six-count indictment for allegedly conspiring with and aiding Epstein in his sexual abuse of underage girls between 1994 and 2004. She has been held without bail since her arrest in July 2020 and has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
If convicted, Maxwell could spend decades in prison.

As the fashion, music and entertainment worlds continue to mourn the late Virgil Abloh, Moneybagg Yo is paying tribute to the Louis Vuitton artistic director.
The “Time Today” rapper posted several Instagram photos of him wearing a white fur Louis Vuitton jacket and commented, “#RIPVirgil Abloh.” The price tag read $25,900.
Lil Baby commented, “25 thousand on a jacket wear it once,” while Fabolous wrote, “A piece” with a fire emoji, and Young Bleu responded, “Fresh as a mf no cap.”
Last week, Drake remembered Abloh with a tattoo showing Virgil from behind, throwing a paper airplane. “A remembrance of the great Virgil Abloh done on Drake,” the caption reads.
On November 28, the day Abloh died, Drake also paid tribute with a photo of the two of them, writing, “My plan is to touch the sky 1000 more times for you…love you eternally brother thank you for everything.”
The four-time Grammy winner attended the memorial service for Abloh on December 6 in Chicago with several other celebrities, including Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Lauryn Hill and Frank Ocean.
Abloh passed away after a private two-year battle with cardiac angiosarcoma, a rare, aggressive form of cancer. He was 41. Virgil was the founder of fashion brand Off-White and the first African American to serve as artistic director for Louis Vuitton.
In the second season of the Netflix show Emily in Paris, which is now streaming on Netflix, Ashley Park‘s character Mindy Chen performs a version of the BTS smash “Dynamite” in a drag bar. And she — as well as the BTS ARMY — will be happy to know that at least two members of the group have given her rendition a thumbs-up.
Park posted a clip of her performance — for which she wore a half-man/half-woman costume — on Instagram, and wrote, “ I’m still pinching myself that I got to sing my favorite #bts @bts.bighitofficial song as Mindy!”
She added a special thanks to “RM, Suga, V, JungKook, J-Hope, JiMin, Jin for YOUUUU and your constant hard work and music!”
V shared Park’s post on Instagram and added two heart emojis: one black and one white, to match her costume. Billboardreports that RM posted about the cover on his Instagram Story, which has now expired.
Park, who rose to fame playing Gretchen Weiners in the Broadway musical Mean Girls, told MTV that she specifically asked the Emily in Paris producers if Mindy, who’s trying to launch a singing career, could sing a K-pop song.
“Never in my wildest dreams as a BTS stan, BTS ARMY, did I think that they would get ‘Dynamite’ by BTS,” the actress added.
Not only will we likely be getting a season two of Squid Game, we might be getting a season three as well.
The Korea Times reports that the creator of the mega-popular South Korean series, Hwang Dong-hyuk, is in talks with Netflix about bringing the show back for two more seasons.
Back in November, Hwang confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that he’s already been plotting out season two.
“I do have a basic storyline for season two — it’s all in my head — and I am currently in the brainstorming stage,” he said. “It will happen, someday, but as for when I cannot tell you the details.”
A Netflix spokesperson told ABC Audio at the time that a second season was “in discussions, but not confirmed yet.”
Since its launch on September 17, Squid Game has become the biggest hit in Netflix’s history in terms of worldwide viewership, and the first Korean-language series to reach the number-one slot on the streaming giant’s charts.
While Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest will go on Friday night, two performers slated to join Seacrest and co-host Liza Koshy live in Times Square have pulled out of the show.
Neither LL Cool J nor Chlöe will be performing on the telecast, which is marking its 50th anniversary this year. In a statement, the hip hop legend said, “I know it’s disappointing to the millions of fans but my test came back positive for COVID, which means I’ll no longer be able to perform as scheduled at NYRE.”
“We were ready and I was really looking forward to ringing in 2022 in my hometown in a special way, but for now I wish everyone a healthy and happy New Year. The best is yet to come!” LL added. No reason has been given for Chlöe’s absence.
As of now, the other two Times Square performers — veteran rockers Journey and Latin star Karol G — are still set to perform.
Performers at the Los Angeles party segments of the show include Avril Lavigne, OneRepublic, Masked Wolf, French Montana, Big Boi and Sleepy Brown, Macklemore, Polo G, Mae Muller, Måneskin and Walker Hayes. Daddy Yankee will perform from Puerto Rico, while Billy Porter will hold things down in New Orleans.
Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest will air on ABC Friday night starting at 8 p.m. ET.
