The Olympics might be over, but we are far from done at marveling at elite-level humans at the top of their game. “America’s Got Talent” returned from its two week hiatus with eleven incredible acts, but it was R&B singer Liv Warfield who stole the show with her rendition of “The Unexpected,” a song that just so happened to be written specifically for her by Prince. No big deal. Warfield had already wowed audiences with her initial audition, which earned a Golden Buzzer from Simon Cowell. But this next performance had Cowell saying “If this was the Olympics for singing, you would have won the gold medal.”

Willie Nelson Announces 153rd Album (!) Last Leaf on the Tree, Shares Cover of Tom Waits’ “Last Leaf”: Stream

Rolling Stone


The announcement of  Willie Nelson’s 76th studio album, Last Leaf on the Tree, comes with good news and better news. The good news is that the lead single is Nelson’s cover of Tom Waits’ “Last Leaf,” a track that Waits cut with Keith Richards for 2011’s Bad as Me. The better news is that Nelson sings it à la Nelson and doesn’t attempt a gravel-throated Waits impression. Instead, Nelson’s rendition features impressionistic guitar ear candy, a little accordion, and drums that sigh along with Nelson as he sings Waits’ words: “I’m the last leaf on the tree.”Neil Young Returning...

To lighten the mood, we'll include some funny quotes about each sign's mean streak.

High-concept verging on slightly terrifying, comic Jordan Brookes’s latest is show is about the not uncommon subject of getting older. Kind of. In a way.

Dorothy Dandridge was one of Hollywood’s first Black sex symbols and the first black actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Around 1930, Dandridge relocated to Los Angeles, California, with her family. A few years later she found success with her new musical group, the Dandridge Sisters, which included sister Vivian and their friend Etta Jones. The group landed gigs at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem and performed with top acts such as the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra and Cab Calloway. As an African American singer, Dandridge confronted early on the segregation and racism of the entertainment industry. She may have been allowed on stage, but in some venues, she couldn't eat in the restaurant or use certain facilities because of the color of her skin."
