The Light Of Day Benefit is an annual live music event that raises money to help defeat Parkinson's disease. It usually goes down in New Jersey, and performers including Jesse Malin, Willie Nile, and Joe Grushecky all gathered at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank Saturday night for the benefit's 25th iteration. A milestone like that calls for a surprise appearance from Jersey's finest, and so Bruce Springsteen — who's played the event numerous years' past — did just that.

Elon Musk made a speech celebrating his good buddy Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration on Monday. As our new Administrator Of The Department Of Government Efficiency wrapped up his words, the billionaire Tesla CEO put his hand on his chest, thanking Trump and his supporters, before extending his right arm straight out with his fingers together and his palm facing downwards.

He finished in 13th place out of the day's 31 participants. See some clips of Dickinson fencing below.

A lot of that chatter was about the comedian's Netflix special Natural Selection , which opens with a sexist joke about domestic violence. In response to that backlash, Rife issued a mock apology on his Instagram story with a link to buy protective helmets designed for people with special needs, which obviously sparked more backlash. I didn't hear about him very much for a while after that, but now he's inescapable again — at least to Billy Idol in a new video sketch promoting his upcoming tour with Joan Jett.

Star 99 first came across my radar in 2023 with Bitch Unlimited , their debut album released by the great indie label Lauren Records. The Bay Area indie pop quintet already have another album coming down the pipeline with Gaman , due out this March, and its lead single “Kill” is out now.
