Prince Williams/ATLPics.net Did Usher Create A Burner Account? Usher has had quite a rough couple of years. Of course, he’s been the center of a scandal over allegedly transmitting herpes to unsuspecting women, which hasn’t been great. Like any artist would, he’s tried to press on with new music to diffuse the situation but that didn’t work because his album was widely considered a weed plate . Damn. So what is a man to do to defend his piece of work? Well, according to the internet he creates a burner account that hops in everyone’s mentions defending it. Usher got a burner pic.twitter.com/PLDoOBpWt7 — Lonnie Walker FanAcc (@FreeeJared) October 18, 2018 Twitter sleuths were quick to point out that this account was tweeting defenses of the album and herpes (!!!). They deducted that it had to be Usher pulling a Kevin Durant to try to get people off his back. Usher’s camp, to their defense, has vehemently denied that the now-deleted account is in any way tied to the singer, but Twitter is not convinced. Take a look…
We’re not surprised. Tommy Hilfiger Says Hip-Hop Took Brand Away From Its Roots Hip-Hop made him some serious gwap and now it has tarnished his brand? According to Financial Juneteenth: Tommy Hilfiger was already an iconic fashion designer before he began recruiting hip-hop acts to wear his clothing; but with the help of artists like Aaliyah, Snoop Dogg, and Usher, his success grew tremendously. While Hilfiger has been the center of many rumors in the media for his alleged comments about not wanting minorities to wear his clothing, the 61-year-old still does not mind sharing his thoughts on the overall effect of hip-hop on his brand. In an interview on Bloomberg News, Hilfiger recognized the way hip-hop was able to accelerate his business, but claimed that he was simply following a trend. “Look, it fueled a lot of growth, but it took us away from our roots,” explained Hilfiger. “When people ask me advice, I say stick to who you are. Stick to your guns.” While Tommy Hilfiger remains a notable brand, it does not garner the same attention as it did in the 90s. Hilfiger says he should have focused on staying true to his vision for the brand back then as opposed to chasing after what was good for the moment. “There is an image and attitude to most brands, and that’s really important,” said Hilfiger. ”I like to stick to my heritage and not chase trends, and at that point we were chasing trends. Chasing trends was easy, but it was dangerous. It’s more important to me now to be consistent.” Is he just mad because he’s no longer at the top anymore? What do you think about his comments? WENN
Whether it makes any difference or not is an open question, but many people feel Eminem lip-synced his performance on Saturday Night Live this weekend. While the critics generally loved Kerry Washington on SNL , Eminem received mixed reviews after taking the stage to perform his new hit single “Berzerk.” No one’s likening the “Rap God” to Milli Vanilli, who couldn’t sing in the studio either, or to Britney Spears (you gotta hear her actual vocals ), but still. Take a look below and see if you think it’s as obvious as we think: Eminem – Berzerk (Saturday Night Live) At times, when the rapper pulled the mic away from his mouth, it sure sounded and looked like the vocals continued at full volume. Even so … does it matter? People’s view of lip-syncing seems to vary on a case-by-case basis. Some stars get torn apart for it, others don’t. If it’s the Super Bowl, people TWEAK. Other times, less so. Similarly, some mask it better than others. You tell us: Was Eminem lip-syncing on SNL, and does it matter? Yes. Pretty friggin’ weak. Yes, but everyone does and it was still awesome! No, he was totally rapping live! View Poll »

Batman makes an appearance in the cockpit of the Batwing in new pics. By Kevin P. Sullivan Joseph Gordon-Levitt films a scene of “Dark Knight Rises” in Manhattan in front of the Stock Exchange on Sunday Photo: Getty Images Batman has returned to Gotham — New York City, that is — to film scenes from “The Dark Knight Rises” and he arrived in style. More set photos hit the Web on Monday (October 31), mostly depicting the same scenes featured in online images from last week, but with one big change. (Fans should be forewarned: there are spoilers ahead .) For photos from the set, click here. In one of the pictures published last week, Joseph Gordon-Levitt ‘s character, a beat cop named John Blake, escorts Christian Bale ‘s Batman, who’s dressed in business attire; in another, the beat cop fires a gun at some fleeing bikers. Gordon-Levitt’s character has been the center of much discussion about the “Rises” plot and who the character may end up being. One rumor that continues to circulate is that John Blake may end up being Robin, the Boy Wonder, something Gordon-Levitt has remained quiet about. The latest crop of pictures follows what is presumably the same scene but further along in the action. The riders on the motocross bikes are still driving away and jumping over cop cars, but this time the Batwing is visible . Although the Batwing has been featured in dozens of leaked set photos, the pictures posted by a user to the Superhero Hype forum are particularly interesting because they clearly show Batman in the cockpit. If that wasn’t enough, he seems to be hovering above a large explosive device in the middle of the street. It’s unclear who ends up on the back of the motorcycles or what they’re doing on them. Matthew Modine was on set, but there are conflicting reports on what role his character, Nixon, is playing and whether it was actually Modine’s stunt double on the back of the bike.
