The producer of the Oscars, Will packer tweeted late last night- “Welp…I said it wouldn’t be boring #Oscars.” Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett’s hair style and Will Smith came to her defense by jumping on stage and slapping Chris Rock. Rock said her hair looked like Demi Moore’s character in “G.I. Jane.” Jada, who has been vocal about her issues with hair loss due to a condition called alopecia — did not laugh at Rock’s remark. Rock was shocked that he got slapped by Will Smith. “Keep my wife’s name out your f— mouth.” An LAPD spokesperson said the department is not investigating. Rock said backstage, “I just got hit by Mohammed Ali and didn’t get a scratch.”

Doritos will now have five fewer chips!
Gas prices are going up and now chips are too! Well, you’re getting less chips for your buck. Doritos will now be putting in five fewer chips in each bag due to inflation. Frito Lay will save around $50 million each year by doing it. Other companies have followed suit like Crest. You will be gettign less toothpaste in each tube, 3.8 compared to 4.1 oz. And the worst one of all, Charmin is making their toilet paper rolls smaller too! 244 sheets vs the old 264. The companies say they’ll still try to keep prices at reasonable levels. Ugh!

One of Taylor Hawkins’ last acts? Making the day of a nine year old fan.
One of the last acts of Taylor Hawkins was to meet and fulfill the dream of a young fan.
The drummer of the Foo Fighters had a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with a nine year-old fan while the band was in Paraguay. Three days later, Hawkins unexpectedly passed away at the age of 50.
Emma Sofia started playing the drums two years ago, according a story from CNN. She was inspired by her uncle’s favorite band — Foo Fighters. And wanting to grab the attention of her heroes, she set up her kit outside the hotel where the band was staying and played for 30 minutes.
It worked.
Hawkins came down and had a one-on-one with the young musician — which was captured by her father and shared on social media.
If you’ve ever met Taylor, you’ll know — this is exactly the kind of guy he was. He will be so incredibly missed. #RIP
There goes my hero…
This one really stinks. Last night Taylor Hawkins, the drummer of the Foo Fighters, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 50. Tributes are rolling in from everywhere and each one is more touching than the last. I think the thing I will always take away from him is how much he loved being a rockstar. He was one of those cats that knew he won the lottery and celebrated accordingly. The first time I was lucky enough to meet him we played foosball backstage singing our favorite Cheap Trick songs to eachother. I remember walking away from that thinking, “hes no rockstar, he’s just a dude. A really really cool dude.” I can’t believe he’s gone. To honor him, here are a few of the Foo Fighters songs that will be on repeat for me and on your radio all weekend long.
“There goes my hero, watch him as he goes. There goes my hero, he’s ordinary.” That lyric will never not remind me of Taylor Hawkins. Rest easy, friend.
Foo Fighters perform Everlong for the last time with Taylor Hawkins
The world is reeling from the shocking news that Taylor Hawkins, drummer for the Foo Fighters passed away last night at the age of 50. Little is known outside of the statement released by the band:
Five days prior to his passing, Foo Fighters played Lollapalooza Argentina and closed what is now the last set with Taylor, with Everlong.
According to Rolling Stone when Hawkins died, the Foo Fighters were in Colombia preparing to play at the Estéreo Picnic festival on the same bill as the Strokes, J. Balvin, and the Libertines. Their last gig with the drummer took place five days earlier, on March 20th at Lollapalooza Argentina. The 19-song show featured Hawkins singing lead on Queen’s “Somebody to Love,” a cover of Jane’s Addiction’s “Been Caught Stealing” with special guest Perry Farrell, and a final encore of “Everlong.”
Rest in Peace sweet Taylor <3 Lauren

Listen to Dave Grohl’s new metal band Dream Widow.
Dream Widow was a fictional band that were featured in the Foo Fighter’s horror movie Studio 666, but now they are officially real. Check out their self titled EP below. I have to say, as far as goofy fun little side projects go, Dream Widow goes hard!

A woman comes up with a creepy way to reject catcallers
It’s not news that woman aren’t fans of the catcall. Just knock it off guys. One girl decided to stop it in her own way. Instead of completely ignoring them, she decided that if she had the displeasure of interacting with them, that she would return the favor. She CREEPED them out too. In this clip, we see her approached by someone who asks for her number. Watch to see what she tells him!
When your kid orders things from your phone…
Kids can be shady. They know how to break into your phone and buy things with your credit card. Like this little nugget. He bought a cat for people with dementia and didn’t tell her. Obviously she found out when it arrived a few days later. This kid knows he’s busted and immediately begs forgives in the cutest way. How can you stay mad at him?! HE’S REALLY SORRY!!
Stressed out? Try these tricks!
This trick is backed by psychologists and is a great way to get your mind out of a panic mindset quickly. The 54321 trick is used to get you grounded and back into a calm state of mind. This can help if you’re stressed, can’t sleep, or if you just can’t focus due to a stressful situation. The Mayo Clinic suggests that you try this the next time your mind is stuck on the “worry setting.” See if it works for you!
The trick
Sit quietly. Look around you and notice
- FIVE things you can see: Your hands, the sky, a plant on your colleague’s desk
- FOUR things you can physically feel: Your feet on the ground, a ball, your friend’s hand
- THREE things you can hear: The wind blowing, children’s laughter, your breath
- TWO things you can smell: Fresh-cut grass, coffee, soap
- ONE thing you can taste: A mint, gum, the fresh air

My husband named our baby after his ex; does he belong to the streets?
You don’t just name a baby Shannon unless you have a very specific reason to do so. Unfortunately for this woman, her husband found a reason.
Does he belong to the streets? The conversation lives on Facebook!
He doesn’t let his wife drive; is he a jerk?
An anonymous listener checked in with us claiming that he’s just trying to protect the future of his family and as a result, he doesn’t let his wife get behind the wheel.
Is he a jerk? The conversation lives on Facebook!
Watch how these thieves rob a gas station
We’re paying more than we can handle at the pump right now. A lot of people can’t afford to even buy gas so they’ve been trying to steal it more. Now, stealing is wrong, but you have to give them credit for the creative way they did it. The van has a trap door… watch! This station has had thousands of dollars of gas taken in the last few weeks.
The Coors Light Chillollipops are sold out BUT…
The lollipops taste like beer but have no alcohol in them. They were very popular during their initial release at the beginning of March Madness and sold out quickly. But do not fear, they’re making more right now, so there’s still a chance that you can get your tongue on one. They supposedly have a calming effect which is good if you lost your money when your bracket busted early. Damn you Peacocks!
