Halsey, Anthony Fantano Feud Explained

Halsey, Anthony Fantano Feud Explained

Published by Daniella Wilson

Halsey let loose on Anthony Fantano on Sunday night, describing the popular YouTube music critic as an “raised-by-4-chan edgelord bully” and suggesting that her “least memorable song will be remembered more fondly and for more time than anything you ever do with your life will be.” Fantano, who runs the YouTube channel The Needle Drop and is the self-described “internet’s busiest music nerd,” has become, somewhat unwillingly, embroiled in “stan Twitter wars” after his interview with Olivia Rodrigo. Many people on social media take issue with the critic over what they think is Fantano’s supposed bias towards female pop artists, and slammed Rodrigo for agreeing to the interview. Halsey fans in particular have long disliked Fantano since his review of the Grammy-nominated singer’s 2024 album The Great Impersonator, which he awarded a “decent 1” out of 10. After taking shots from all comers for much of the weekend, Halsey then weighed in. Sunday night’s back and forth started after X user @NotRealMusic tweeted, “I didn’t really agree with how Fantano approached some aspects of his …

Anthony Head made the flawed father figure impossible to hate

Anthony Head made the flawed father figure impossible to hate

Published by Sam Flores

Grasping the essence of Anthony Head’s magnetism boils down to knowing the tale of two Ruperts. There’s Rupert Giles, the tweedy Sunnydale High School librarian who mentored Buffy Summers on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” As the Slayer’s Watcher, Giles keeps Buffy battle ready, advises her and occasionally gives her a fatherly shoulder to cry on. He’s also an emotional anchor. Without him, as Buffy. Willow, Xander and the rest of the Sunnydale Scoobies discover in the show’s sixth season, the world starts to crumble around them. No matter where Head turned up, whether expected or as a surprise, his presence lit a spark of familiarity, even delight. And there’s the leering, preening Rupert Mannion from “Ted Lasso” — multimillionaire soccer team owner, inveterate philanderer and incurably vindictive divorcé. This Rupert’s talent for finding new lows is bottomless, but his main diversion is preying on those he views as weak. That includes Ted’s “Wonder Kid” assistant coach, Nate Shelley, a one-time pushover that Rupert seduces to the dark side to coach his new team, West Ham, …

Karmelo Anthony sentenced to 35 years after murder conviction in Texas high school stabbing

McKINNEY, Texas — Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison Tuesday, just hours after a Texas jury found him guilty of murder in the 2025 killing of Austin Metcalf, a fellow high school student, at a Dallas-area track meet. Subscribe to read this story ad-free Get unlimited access to ad-free articles and exclusive content. The verdict, reached in less than three hours and read by Texas District Court Judge John Roach Jr., could have carried a maximum of 99 years. Anthony was 17 at the time, but Texas law allowed him to be charged as an adult. He is now 19. During the subsequent sentencing phase Tuesday evening, the jury rejected defense arguments that Anthony’s attack was carried out under “sudden passion,” which could have reduced his time. Some in the courtroom reacted with cries, and Metcalf’s twin brother, Hunter, who made his first appearance in the courtroom, leaned forward. Anthony’s mother wept. Roach had warned people in the courtroom to control their emotions when the verdict was read. Anthony’s attorney kept an …

Sarah Pidgeon: I put [myself] on tape, and then a few weeks later, I happened to be in LA finishing up a project I was working on and was told that the producers liked it, and I was gonna go in for my callback, but then within, like, 24 hours, that changed to a test. I went in and I totally blacked out. As soon as I finished the first scene, Ryan [Murphy] was like, “Okay, and moving on.” And I was like, “Oh shoot, I definitely didn’t get this.” He asked me a few questions, where I was from, and then I called my team, and I was like, “I think I did what I wanted to do, but I don’t think I got that job.” And three days went by, Friday came and went, and I woke up Saturday morning, and my team called and told me that I got it, and then the real process started of trying to find JFK Jr. It was such a wonderful moment when Paul walked in …

The British actor, who was known for playing the socially awkward British librarian Rupert Giles and watcher to Gellar’s Buffy in the series, died due to complications related to pneumonia, his daughters said in a statement. In the series, Head’s character was assigned by the ancient British council to oversee the actions of the Slayer, but as the series developed, he became more of a surrogate father and mentor to Buffy.
