Slash Calls AI 'Confusing And Misleading'

Slash called AI “confusing and misleading." The Guns N' Roses rocker is worried that overuse of the technology will lead to more music having the same "look or sound." He told the Battleground Podcast: “I’m not super excited about this new development, only because I just know that people, for the most part, are gonna use it so much that it’s gonna be confusing and misleading.” “There’s just gonna be too much of the same kind of look or sound for different things. I see it happening already.” Although he isn’t a fan and sees no use for it himself, Slash would love to see someone create something unique and useful with it. He continued: “I’m the guy that likes to go into a studio and record a band live and do it analog. So the idea of AI, I can’t think of any application where it makes any sense to me for what it is that I do. I’m interested to see who comes up with something really great and unique and useful for me.”

Pete Davidson Walks Off Stage Due To Heckling At Nebraska Stand-Up Gig

Pete Davidson lost his cool and was forced to walk off stage before finishing a set in Omaha, Nebraska due to heckling. He was hounded by rowdy fans during his Prehab Tour stop on Friday night and ended the show early as a result. Following the debacle, a fan named Kate Stivers took to YouTube to speak out in support of the actor, with others also coming to his defense. “Where the f**k did decorum go at events because he shouldn’t have had to walk off stage because you guys don’t understand that because you see crowd work on TikTok that you think every comedian needs to be heckled to the point that they leave stage with one joke left,” the influencer said in part. The show took place at the venue Steelhouse Omaha. Stivers added, “It’s just absolutely absurd. You’re ruining it for the whole show.” She said those attending the show were required to hand over their phones ahead of the performance. She agreed with the policy. “There should be no tolerance. You need to immediately be kicked the f**k out,” She said. Other users on the platform echoed her sentiments. “I was at this show, and unfortunately ended up sitting by one of the women being a problem.” A Davidson supporter on Reddit also contributed to the conversation: “I was there and it was so s****y. He was so close to being done and we lost out on a great ending to a great show because people suck.”

Jeff Daniels Thought 'Dumb & Dumber' Toilet Scene Would End His Career

Tom Brady Snaps At Jeff Ross Over Rude Robert Kraft Joke At Netflix Roast

During last night’s Tom Brady roast on Netflix, comic Jeff Ross took a shot that Brady didn’t like. Ross delivered a line that referenced when Brady introduced himself to Patriots owner Robert Kraft. “Tom became a Patriot, moved up to New England, and on the first day of training camp, that scrawny rookie famously walked into the owner Robert Kraft's office and said, I'm the greatest decision your organization has ever made... would you like a massage,' Ross joked. Brady appeared unimpressed by the joke and went up to Ross in the middle of his set. “Don't say that s**t again,” Brady said with a smile, while his hand poorly covered up the microphone. The joke was a reference to when Kraft was one of 25 people facing a misdemeanor charge for soliciting prostitution at a Florida day spa back in February 2019.

Britney Spears Has A Meltdown At Chateau Marmont In LA

Britney Spears had a mental health crisis at the Chateau Marmont early yesterday morning as photos show the barefoot singer wrapped in a blanket being escorted out to emergency services. In scenes reminiscent of her 2008 meltdown, Spears was seen in her underwear, clutching a pillow and appearing distressed as she left the hotel. She had abrasions on her knees, appeared to be topless and looked disheveled as she held the pillow to her chest. It’s been claimed that Britney and her ex Paul Richard Soliz got into a huge fight and that a woman matching Britney's description was harassing and threatening hotel employees and guests. A man was seen wheeling a stretcher with Britney’s belongings on it - with a fire truck also seen at the Hollywood hotel. Spears posted a concerning Instagram message, which claimed the photos were of “body doubles” and said she was “getting stronger every day.”

Hollywood Squares Reboot, Starring Drew Barrymore, Ordered At CBS

Drew Barrymore has been tapped to lead a new edition of Hollywood Squares on CBS. Though an exact premiere date has yet to be announced, we do know that this hour-long version of Hollywood Squares will air on Wednesdays beginning sometime in January.

The show has been rebooted twice in syndication, hosted by John Davidson (1986–1989) and by Tom Bergeron (1998–2004).

Cher just revealed that she turned down another mega music star, blaming his reputation for why they never dated. On "The Jennifer Hudson Show," Cher was asked to explain why she didn't date Elvis Presley, after previously revealing in a separate interview that their paths almost crossed. "It was because I just was — I was nervous and I knew of the people around him, and it wasn’t that they were bad people, it's just that I was kind of nervous of his reputation," Cher said. "I’m really shy when I’m not working and kind of shy around men," she revealed.

Jeff Goldblum Refuses To Leave Money To His Kids

Jeff Goldblum revealed that his children — Charlie, 8, and River, 6 — will have to support themselves when they get older. Goldblum shares his sons with wife Emilie Livingston. “‘Hey, you know, you’ve got to row your own boat,'” he recalled telling them when he recently appeared on the iHeartPodcast Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi. “It’s an important thing to teach kids. I’m not going to do it for you. And you’re not going to want me to do it for you,” he continued. “You’ve got to figure out how to find out what’s wanted and needed and where that intersects with your love and passion and what you can do. And even it if doesn’t, you might have to do that anyway.”

“Succession” star Brian Cox gave his take on the world’s most popular book this week in an interview on The Starting Line podcast with Rich Leigh. He called the Bible the “worst book ever.” He said he thinks religion “holds us back because its belief systems, which are outside ourselves, they’re not dealing with who we all are, they’re dealing with well, ‘if God says this and God does that.’” He said: “We created that idea of God and we created it as a control issue. It’s also a patriarchal issue. That’s how it started and it’s essentially patriarchal. We haven’t given enough scope to the matriarchy and I think we need to move matriarchically.” “We have to go more towards a matriarchy because the mothering thing is the thing which is the real conditioning of our lives,” he explained. “Our fathers don’t condition us ‘cause they’re too bloody selfish, but our mothers have to because they have an umbilical [cord],” he said. He concludes that people need religion because “they need some kind of truth,” but “they don’t need to be told lies.” And The Bible is “not the truth,” he stressed.

ABC News Weatherman Rob Marciano Fired After Anger Issues

ABC News weatherman Rob Marciano was fired yesterday - a year after temporarily getting yanked off the air for anger management issues, sources with knowledge told The NY Post. Marciano, who appeared on “Good Morning America” and “World News Tonight” for a decade, made news last year amid complaints about his behavior over the years. He was temporarily banned from “GMA’s” Time Square Studios after he made a colleague feel uncomfortable, Page Six reported in March of last year. “He was found to have done something that was improper, but he was punished for it, and they still haven’t let him return,” one insider told Page Six at the time. It’s unclear what exactly transpired this time around between Marciano and his colleague, but another source said he had been dealing with some anger management issues while going through a divorce from his wife.
