Relationship Court: How to get a husband, according to 1958
This woman, Jordana Grace, found an article from the 1950’s that listed off things that women could do to find a husband. Back in the days before Tinder and Bumble, people had to get attention from the opposite sex in different ways. Although, we don’t recommend trying any of these in present times. Some of the things Jordana lists off are ‘get a sunburn’ or ‘cry in a corner.’ This might get you attention, but if it got any woman a hubby, even back then, we’d be shocked!

WATCH: Sly & the Family Stone crush on The Ed Sullivan Show
Yesterday, we received the unfortunate news that the massively influential frontman Sly Stone had passed away at the age of 82.
In honor of Stone’s passing, we hit the YouTube archives and were blown away by the live footage we saw of Stone performing. The best of the bunch was this 1968 performance that Sly & the Family Stone did on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Pour one out for Sly, you will be missed.

Leaked audio of Oasis rehearsal acquired by The Sun
Let’s get ready, boys. Oasis Summer is upon us and UK outlet The Sun has acquired leaked audio of Oasis rehearsing and playing together for the first time in 16 years. The last time we heard the Gallagher Brothers sing together was at the V Festival in 2009. Now, they’re back, and they sound incredible.
We’re only 84 days away from Oasis storming Soldier Field.

Popeyes comes for rival fast food competitor with new chicken wraps
With McDonald’s on the brink of bringing back Snack Wraps, Popeyes has entered themselves into the Chicken Wrap Wars. On June 2, Popeyes is adding three new Chicken Wraps to its menu. The wraps are available in Classic, Spicy, and Honey Mustard and are made with crispy chicken strips, lettuce, shredded cheese, and pickles in a warm tortilla the chain says is inspired by the flavors of its iconic biscuit. The Classic Wrap features traditional mayo, the Spicy Wrap gets a kick from spicy mayo, and the Honey Mustard Wrap features sweet honey mustard.
The wraps will be $3.99 starting tomorrow.
A film about the band Failure will premiere later this month
