Michael B. Jordan Explores His Personalities For Rolling Stone

by

Michael B. Jordan is Rolling Stones’ March 2023 cover star. In the expose, he gave us an inside look into life as an actor turned director on the top of Hollywood’s A-list. He discusses his directorial debut with “Creed III”, set to release on March 3rd. In addition, he touches on his experience as a Black man influencing his role as Adonis Creed in the films.

“So this is what Adonis is the most current iteration of. He is Black in the world. He has to work through the aftereffects of what Killmonger was fighting for, and how Oscar wasn’t seen or respected. Adonis is trying to start a family, and dealing with childhood trauma, not knowing how to talk and not knowing how to express himself. Not knowing why he feels less, why doesn’t he feel worthy,” Michael B. Jordan tells Rolling Stone.

The Look

Additionally, the shoot was lensed by creative Adrienne Raquel who is known for her playful and vibrant imagery. Subsequently, styling creds go to Michael B. Jordan’s stylist Jason Bolden, who was able to convey a powerful message of masculinity with contrasting femininity through the looks for the shoot. Michael can be seen in a shirtless pose with a pair of Todd Patrick two-toned leather pants and a Peter Do jacket draped across his shoulder. Elsewhere Michael is seen in a white Bottega Veneta tank top, a diamond Tiffany & Co. necklace, and a strand of pearls.

Finally, for the cover itself, Michael B. Jordan is dazed in a red and black logo-embellished Givenchy biker jacket, and matching pants. Furthermore, this cover marks the beginning of a new era for Jordan, as fans everywhere anticipate the new “Creed” film to be just as successful as the last two. He tells Rolling Stone, “I don’t see myself slowing down. Life’s short. I want to squeeze every fucking drop out of this.” Overall, we are confident that Michael B. Jordan will continue to pose a double threat with his successful acting career and now his directing career, and we cannot wait to see what he will do shortly.

Celine Dione Fans Protest Rolling Stone HQ For “200 Greatest Singers” List Snub

by

Popular music magazine Rolling Stone released their list of the “200 Greatest Singers of All Time” on New Year’s Day. And it quickly sent social media into a frenzy.

With fans debating whether the outlet got it right, many Celine Dione supporters were offended that the Canadian singer was nowhere to be found on the list.

According to TMZ, her fans took their frustration to Rolling Stone’s headquarters on Friday and protested the snub with picket signs in hand.

Singing outside the building and shouting “Rolling Stone is stoned,” Dione’s fans were eventually met with Steven Pearl, who works at the magazine as an editor. He went on to hear them out and also explained the creative process behind the list. 

Featuring singers Tina Turner, Minnie Riperton, Aaliyah, Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, and more, the list received its fair share of backlash since dropping online earlier this week. 

Dragging the magazine for not including the “My Heart Will Go On” singer, one user later wrote in defense of Dione on Twitter, “What do you mean Celine [Dione] is not on the rolling stone list???”

“Rolling Stone omitting the Céline Dion from its list of the greatest singers of all time is a crime against humanity,” another fan tweeted.

Further questioning the list, a user also penned on Twitter, “Rihanna should not even be on that Rolling Stones list of Greatest Singers. But for her to also be ahead of Michael Jackson, Usher, Anita Baker, and Patti Labelle… then Celine Dion is not even on the list? I would like criminal charges brought against the entire company.”

Another added, “Oh so the rolling stone’s released an all time greatest singers list? Anyway here’s Celine [Dione] absolutely knocking out a key change while singing all by myself.”
