Some of the most beautiful music ever recorded has come when two complementary voices join together, sometimes resulting in a love duet, other times a dance hit and many times a top ten hit that becomes ingrained in the pop culture movement of that generation. There are solo singers, bands and vocal groups, but there is something unique and special about a duo harmonizing.
Since the early days of rock and roll, duos have found great success across all genres, with brothers Don and Phil Everly charting with singles like “Wake Up Little Susie” in the late 1950s, and influencing the generations of rock and pop artists that have followed. In the 1960s, with the creation of Motown, duos like Sam and Dave led the way for Black musicians to appeal to white audiences with hits like “Soul Man,” while California musicians Jan and Dean were influential in popularizing “surf music.

Hollywood Shuffle, the 1987 satire co-written, produced and directed by and starring Robert Townsend, was a comedic poke in the eye of Hollywood for its stereotyping of Black actors. With a budget of 100,000, the pic opened to critical acclaim and pulled in 5.2 million at the box office. It featured a series of vignettes and fantasies that Garrett wove into a film that inspired the Washington Post to write that it’s technical proficiency “should thoroughly embarrass those studios.”

Former President Donald Trump made a now-rare public appearance over the weekend, giving a speech at the North Carolina Republican convention. But his words were overshadowed by his trousers. “He said a bunch of stuff, but nobody paid attention, because it looked like he wore his pants backward,” Stephen Colbert said on Monday’s “Late Show.”
Yes, images from the event seemed to show the former president’s…front area lacking a zipper where one should be. It was very weird. “Either he shares a tailor with a Ken doll, or he spends so much time yanking stuff out of his keister, it just helps to have the zipper back there to make it easy,” Colbert joked.

The hallmark of K-pop has always been the ability of its artists to creatively bridge cultures and genres — from G-Dragon’s frenetic Edm-meets-Southern-rap track “Crayon,” to 2NE1’s “I Am the Best,” the girl group’s signature song that gloriously weaved a Middle Eastern synth line in the middle of a glossy electro-pop track.
This week, the K-pop group Nct dropped “90’s Love,” an ode to Nineties hip-hop and R&b that sees the boy band tackling old school beats and Boyz II Men-style cooleyhighharmonies, sprinkled in with elements of dubstep and pop.

The panel of judges from “The Masked Singer” was stunned on Wednesday night when the Giraffe was revealed to be “Beverly Hills 90210” star Brian Austin Green. Robin Thicke looked especially frustrated after failing to guess the Giraffe’s identity, revealing that he was best friends with the 90’s icon when they were teenagers.

After a month of competition, four acts have been anointed by the judges so far, meaning they all advanced to the finals: 14-year-old singer Angelina Jordan (Heidi Klum‘s pick), “Star Wars” dancers Boogie Storm (Simon Cowell‘s choice), Indian dance crew V.Unbeatable (Howie Mandel‘s selection) and shadow dance group Silhouettes (Alesha Dixon‘s option). Of this foursome, which one is your favorite? Vote in our “Agt” Golden Buzzer poll below.

Simon Cowell has really gone over to the dark side now. At the start of the Monday, January 13 episode of “America’s Got Talent: The Champions,” the notoriously mean British judge broke the reality TV show’s rules when he gave a Golden Buzzer to dance group Boogie Storm, thereby stealing the power from the night’s designated judge, Howie Mandel. Unlike a normal “Got Talent” season when judges can press their Golden Buzzers in any order, “Agt: The Champions” has strict rules in place so that each judge (plus host Terry Crews) has to press their buzzer on a certain day. Needless to say, Simon’s impromptu decision sent shockwaves through the studio.

Kel Mitchell was arguably the most improved dancer of the season on “Dancing with the Stars,” to the point that he was regularly getting 10s from the judges in the last few weeks of the competition. So it was especially surprising when he was the only celeb in the Finale who failed to get a perfect 30 out of 30 for his freestyle routine, at which point the judges were at their most generous. Did Len Goodman rob him of a 10, and perhaps rob him of the Mirror Ball Trophy too? Watch Mitchell’s freestyle above.
Mitchell rose to fame on the 1990s sketch comedy series “All That,” and his pro partner Witney Carson hearkened back to that era with her choreography to “Jump” by Kris Kross.

Few producers and songwriters have a more impressive resume than Jermaine Dupri. When Kriss Kross’ “Jump” topped the Hot 100 in 1992, Dupri became the youngest studio-wiz in history to craft a Number One hit. That gave him the chance to helm his own label, So So Def, which he used to help break acts throughout the Nineties, including Xscape, Jagged Edge and Anthony Hamilton. He also broke other labels’ acts with his writing and production: Usher owes his first major hit — and eight subsequent ones — to Dupri. Mariah Carey’s “We Belong Together,...

Full-Motion Video games were a mid- to late-1990s fad that were either semi-playable movies (where you shot at bad guys running on screen) or incorporated live-action cutscenes into otherwise animated games. Think Who Framed Roger Rabbit? but on your grandma’s PC. They’re usually all as silly as you’d imagine, either aimed at a younger audience delighted to watch some over-the-top fantasy or an older audience wowed by the possibilities of technology. It seems like the perfect home for character actors and infomercial escapees to camp it up with little career risk and some quick cash, right?
The weird thing is how many A-list actors — or at least people you’d never expect — appeared in these games. What’s even weirder is how crazy most of their roles were. Nobody’s a heartfelt dramatic lead, they...

Dvbbs shocked audiences earlier in the year when they dropped their single with Shaun Frank and Delaney Jane, titled “La La Land.” The track saw the Canadian duo switching up their sound, eschewing the high energy bangers that comprise most of their work in favor of a more refined style. Today, the song has received a remix package, which comes complete with four new versions of the song from a variety of producers.
The remix pack for “La La Land” sports a diverse array of styles, with each mix taking the song in a different direction. Corporate Slackrs give the song a head nodding remix with chilled out instrumentation and uplifting melodies, while Breathe Carolina picks up the tempo for a big room re-imagining.

Britain's Got Talent star Leondre Devries has suggested that his experience of bullying made him stronger.
The 13-year-old - who won over the judges with 15-year-old Charlie Lenehan as duo Bars and Melody - rapped about his experience of cruel treatment during his audition.
"I don't hate the bullies," he told Digital Spy today. "The bullies must have had a hard time for them to take it out on people who are not as strong and not the tallest either! I can't say I'm tall!
"I just feel like it has been an experience. What my mother always says to me is, 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger'. I just feel like if I hadn't experienced that, I wouldn't be the person I am today."

Cue the Kris Kross track, y'all! Dior has released their second campaign of 2014 and this one is starring another Oscar winner: Marion Cotillard. Unlike Jennifer Lawrence's stunning but static poses, the French actress was caught in mid-air for the ads. According to Wwd, the images were taken as the star hopped on a trampoline. Now in theory that sounds like a fun shoot but some of you America's Next Top Model fans may recall it requires some serious skills. Skills that Marion—who has been the face of the French fashion house since 2008—seems to possess. The star manages to look right into the camera, have enviable (albeit extra voluminous) tresses and perfectly pointed toes while...
