Pop culture is best when it’s at its worst – when headlines are so bad they’re good.

Robert Pattinson Dances Like A Daggy Dad At Coachella, Hasn’t Been Taking Lessons From FKA Twigs

One of the best things about Coachella is the video footage that emerges each year of celebrities getting full munted. Last year it was Leo who earned our respect, this year it’s FKA Twigs’ boyfriend R-P@tz who was caught turning up in the Cali desert to none other than Drake.

Meanwhile, twigs is there next to him like, “Ugh, I can’t take him out anywhere :(((“. We ship it.

Take notes, m8. 

Rihanna’s Response To Cocaine Allegations Will Make You ‘Yaaaas’

It’s official: badgirlriri has run out of fucks to give.

Earlier this week people were losing their shit about videos circulating the internet that seemed to show Rihanna racking a line of cocaine at pre’s for Coachella.  

Before Rihanna even had time to clear the table, every gossip blog and their dog wrote sensationalised posts about an apparent downwards spiral. How does she respond?

Breathtaking. Rihanna is literally the  emoji.

Snoop Dogg Has Invested In An Uber Service For Weed

I’m not sure if Snoop Dogg is a member of the illuminati, but ya boy has just invested plans for a New World Order that I definitely want to be a part of.

According to Business Insider, Snoop Dogg and his venture capital firm, Casa Verse Capital, are part of a group of investors who have put $10 million into an on-demand marijuana delivery app called Eaze. Think of it, basically, like Uber for pot.

The startup company has already made more than 30,000 deliveries in California since July last year, with plans “to be in every market as quickly as possible that allows for medical marijuana and even recreational use of marijuana.”

It works by teaming up with local dispensaries to deliver the goods to their patients, and the service is so efficient they can drop it like it’s hot to your door in 10 minutes. That’s a whole lot faster than the pizza you’ll be ordering shortly after.

That’s Snoop Dogg taking us to a brighter, better future.

So It Turns Out Jennifer Lopez Kinda Invented Google Images

Jennifer Lopez is the woman behind many of the world’s most timeless creations, from Channel 10’s most-played Friday night movie, Maid in Manhattan, to her undying World Cup song that will stay in our hearts forever, ‘We Are One’ featuring Pitbull. But did you know she was also the inspiration for Google Images?

In article written for Project Syndicate, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt said that the website’s image search function was largely inspired by an #Iconic Versace dress she was to the Grammy’s in 2000.

“When Google was launched, people were amazed that they were able to find out about almost anything by typing just a few words into a computer,” Schmidt writes.

And the first thing people ever lost their shit over? You guessed it.

“This first became apparent after the 2000 Grammy Awards, where Jennifer Lopez wore a green dress that, well, caught the world’s attention. At the time, it was the most popular search query we had ever seen. But we had no sure-fire way of getting users exactly what they wanted: J-Lo wearing that dress. Google Image Search was born.”

The Internet Is Still Recovering From Madonna And Drake’s Pash Sesh

Luckily for Rob Pat, something much scarier went down during Drake’s headline set that stole the spotlight.

By now we all know what I’m talking about: the moment Madonna went in on Drake’s mouth like she was desperately slurping out the last drops of garlic sauce from her kebab bag and left a visibly shaken Drizzy re-enact his cameo in ‘Anacanda’, only this time he definitely didn’t want none.

In case you forgot, here it is again in all its confusing horror:

  

It should be said: there’s nothing wrong with the concept of Madonna kissing Drake – all the power to you, girl – it’s just that this particular pash was so sloppy in technique it felt like watching a wet sponge trying to mop up a spill. Nonetheless, the memes have been great. Here are some of the highlights:

Nothing Was The Same.
