Now that TikTok’s sea-shanty fans have reached such cultural saturation that even Elon Musk is tweeting about them, everyone is eager to provide an explanation. We suddenly love sea shanties because of pandemic-era stress and isolation, or maybe it’s about depressing labor conditions, or simply the anarchy of TikTok’s algorithm. But the key to their success may lie with the person who kicked off the TikTok trend, and his fellow countrymen: Scottish accents are capturing something about the current moment that nothing else can.

Sea shanties are a well-documented international phenomenon, but it’s not a coincidence that one of the earliest

A week after “peacefully” joining the rioters in Washington, D.C., before they stormed the Capitol Building, Ariel Pink says he now has “no choice” but to go on Tucker Carlson’s TV show to defend himself.

The musician justified his decision to join the Trump-supporting crowds that later forced their way inside the House chambers, alongside fellow indie artist John Maus. When asked by Carlson why he would take such a “huge risk” going on his show, Pink told the Fox News host while appearing to hold back tears, “I had no choice, there’s nothing else for me to do. I can’t

Armie Hammer and Elizabeth Chambers are pricing the home they once shared together to sell, slashing the cost by over $800,000 just three months after they first listed it.

The estranged couple initially put their Hancock Park mansion up for sale in September following the announcement of their separation, listing the property for $5.8 million. Three months later, on December 7, they lowered that price to just $4.99 million, according records obtained by Page Six. The 6,275-square-foot English Tudor home located in the Wilshire area of Los Angeles has seven bedrooms and six bathrooms spread across three stories, featuring a wood-paneled

Lawyers for Mossimo Giannulli have raised concerns to a judge about the “extreme” measures at the medium-security Southern California prison in which Giannulli is serving his five-month sentence for conspiracy to commit fraud.

The situation does sound objectively bad: “Mr. Giannulli was immediately placed in solitary confinement in a small cell at the adjacent medium-security penitentiary, 24 hours per day with only three short 20-minute breaks per week, where he remained for 56 days before finally being transferred to the camp yesterday (January 13),” his lawyers wrote in the federal court filing.

Despite no actual paperwork being filed or official announcement being made to the press confirming their divorce, that hasn't stopped a whole lot of sources surrounding Kim Kardashian and Kanye West from dishing to the press about exactly what went wrong with their relationship.

So far there's been no information from the two central figures involved since the news first broke last week, but there has been an endless supply of anonymous intel. A source told Us Weekly on Friday that the couple has been keeping their distance from each other for the sake of their four children. “Kim and Kanye

In 1992, Donald Trump was not a twice-impeached future private citizen. He had not yet sold the Plaza Hotel at an $83 million loss, run several more businesses into the ground, and posed as a “good” “businessman” on a reality-TV show that Bret Michaels once won. He was merely a divorced father of three who owned the Plaza Hotel by day and chased fame any way he could by night. That year, he made a cameo in the Home Alone sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

In 2019, Norwegian DJ Kygo jumped at the opportunity to remix a lost Whitney Houston track, a cover of the Steve Winwood hit “Higher Love.” His spin on the song climbed the charts, giving the late pop star her first Hot 100 hit since her death in 2012. For Pat Houston, her sister-in-law and executor, it was a labor of love, but for Primary Wave Music, the industry player that helped arrange the collaboration, it was a sign that their vision for the future of the music industry could really work.

While they still have yet to publicly confirm their relationship, things are apparently still going strong between Minka Kelly and Trevor Noah, who are reportedly planning to move in together into a multi-million dollar mansion.

Although the actress and The Daily Show host have stayed mum on the topic, a source confirmed to People in August of this year that the pair are in fact dating. “It's a very serious relationship,” they said. “They're very happy.” And, apparently, none of that has changed over the last five months as a source “close to the couple” once again confirmed to the outlet
