There’s a new season of Better Call Saul on the way, but there has been a minor setback following an emergency on set. It is reported that the upcoming season of the Breaking Bad spin-off is set to arrive sometime next year, but on Tuesday (July 27) evening, the show’s star, Bob Odenkirk, was hospitalized.
Odenkirk, who portrays the title character shady lawyer Saul Goodman, has earned himself several awards for his compelling performances on both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Odenkirk was in Albuquerque, New Mexico filming the last and final season of the show when he suddenly collapsed.
Details regarding the scare are unknown at this time, but it has been reported that production crew members immediately rushed to his aid. Odenkirk was swiftly taken to the hospital and it is reported that he is currently receiving medical care. Hollywood has vocalized both concern and support for the 58-year-old actor as he recovers.
Because there is little known about the emergency and the status of Odenkirk’s health, it is also unclear if and when Better Call Saul filming will resume. We send well wishes his way and hope for a speedy recovery.
Their “Wild Side” single continues to make its mark on the charts, and while fans have been enjoying the steamy Normani single featuring Cardi B, the trolls haven’t let up since its release. Normani has been working on her official debut album for some time, and if we can expect more “Wild Side” energy, she’s looking at a hit album.
A pregnant Cardi B made her nude feature in the visual and there have been several unwarranted criticisms from folks who aren’t fans of the New York artist and have attacked “Wild Side” altogether. Cardi addressed the naysayers.
“Same people that says this sh*t is the same people that didn’t buy sh*t ,don’t request on radio, not streaming not adding no value or numbers to the song but opinions on twitter for a hit tweet cause hating but keeping up with cardi it’s what in,” Cardi tweeted. Normani made sure to jump in to defend her friend and collaborator.
“Can’t imagine this record without you. THAT’S THE TWEET,” Normani added in a retweet. She later followed up with a few more thoughts. “I don’t think you guys understand how harddddd this woman has gone for me,” the singer replied. “You have been a champion for me throughout this whole process even when I was freaking out the night before releasing. God don’t play when it comes to His. we good sis. [raised hands emoji][praying hands emoji][crown emojijs].”

The North Idaho State Fair is gearing up for Nelly to visit the Gem State for a sold-out concert, but the rapper has been facing a bit of backlash from residents. Nelly’s career has spanned decades and the St. Louis icon has earned a variety of awards, plaques, and accolades, so it comes as no surprise that his fans are excited to see him take to the stage. However, The Press reports that citizens have been circulating a blistering email chain condemning the rapper and his lyrical content.
A man named Duane Rasmussen set off the email titled “Whoa Nelly” and stated that people he has spoken with about the rapper’s appearance have expressed that they are “appalled by the actions of the fair board in selecting rapper entertainment for the fair.”
“Perhaps the North Idaho Fair Board has already made enough money on ticket sales to the denizens of Seattle and Portland to ignore any boycott attempt,” Rasmussen wrote in the email. “Collecting money through ticket sales to people who live in [Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone] and [Capitol Hill Organized Protest] might just help us get past the financial difficulties of the last year but is that what we are willing to sell our cultural souls for?”
Those “Capitol Hill” areas he’s referring to were reportedly six blocks of unpoliced zoning where Black Lives Matter protests erupted last year. It was later “cleared out by police,” according to The Press.
“I wonder if someone on the far left that is consumed with creating everything possible to injure our traditional communities’ values and lifestyle is behind influencing weak-minded people on the KC fair board and our county commissioners by selling them on this insane decision to upset our peaceful fair with the likes of Nelly,” resident Rich Loudenback stated. “Talk about selling your soul to the devil for money.”
Others complained that Nelly “is glorifying the Pimp lifestyle” while the rapper is being urged to make his way to nearby Seattle or Portland, and it was made clear he isn’t welcome by certain groups in Idaho. The show is set to go on whether people like it or not.
As many of you hold your breath forDONDA‘s August 6 release date, many Hip Hop fans aren’t believing that Kanye West will deliver. Last week, Kanye launched a short, yet epic rollout of DONDA after hosting listening parties in both Las Vegas and Atlanta. The latter was set to occur immediately before or just as DONDA was slated to hit streaming services, but instead, Ye left his worldwide fans waiting by not, yet again, releasing his album when he said he would.
Justin Laboy returned with updates, promising that DONDA would still make its Friday arrival before stating that the record will come on August 6. There have been rumors that Kanye hasn’t even left the stadium as he’s called in the cavalry to record the last-minute touch-ups to DONDA, and just hours ago, Ye offered a looking into his sleeping quarters.
It’s reported that Kanye has luxury homes all around the world, but until DONDA is complete, he’s experiencing more humble settings. It’s unclear how his team is getting by, but it is being assumed that they, too, are enjoying similar housing. Several celebrities jumped in Kanye’s comments to applaud his dedication while some fans aren’t convinced that DONDA will be completed in time.
Check it out below.
The music world was supposed to be enjoying Kanye West’s tenth album Donda last weekend, but the rapper did not release it as expected despite a huge listening event for it. He premiered what appeared to be an unfinished version of the project last Thursday at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium. With Donda failing to arrive on the intended release date of July 23, Kanye decided to move into the stadium in order to complete it before its rumored arrival on August 6. As he continues to put the finishing touches on the project, the rapper took to Instagram to show off what appears to be a makeshift bedroom made for him inside the stadium where the bumbling Atlanta Falcons play.
Kanye shared an image of the room to his Instagram page, and in it, you can see a rather small bed, a few pairs of shoes, including the pair he wore to the Donda listening event, clothes hanging in a closet, and an opened luggage. The rapper shared the photo without a caption, but for what it’s worth, it’s interesting at the very least to see how he’s living as he continues work on Donda.
During his time at the stadium, Kanye took a break from working on Donda to hang out with the crowd that was in attendance at the stadium for the Atlanta United soccer game against Columbus Crew on July 24. Kanye was spotted in the stands with fans, who seemed surprised and delighted by his presence, before he decided to walk around and tour the stadium as the match continued.
