Finneas Confronts Questlove About Allegedly Flipping Him Off During His First ‘Tonight Show’ Appearance
At this point in their careers, both Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas have been on The Tonight Show on numerous occasions. Their first time on the show, though, was back in March 2018, when Finneas joined Eilish to perform “Bellyache.” That was a major moment in both of their careers, but ever since then, something about it hasn’t sat right with Finneas: He’s pretty sure Questlove flipped him off during the show. On last night’s Tonight Show, Finneas went ahead and addressed that with Fallon and The Roots’ drummer.
At the end of the interview, Fallon set Finneas up to tell the story and Finneas noted, “I came for some answers tonight, if that’s OK.” Finneas went on to give some background about the performance and the lead-up to it. He spoke about how Fallon kindly greeted him and and Eilish backstage and about how despite his nerves, he felt the performance went well. He then described Fallon and The Roots sending the show to commercial after the performance, saying, “I’m clapping, I’m looking over, and you guys do your crescendo at the end. I’m just smiling and clapping and looking at Quest, and Quest put his sticks in one hand, and he pointed right at me, and he flipped me the bird.”
At this point, a shocked and confused Questlove chimed in with, “Wait, what?”
Finneas continued, “And then they all left. They all left and I was standing there clapping and Questlove, who I had never met, had just flipped me the bird, and everybody left.”
Questlove then flashed a peace sign and asked, “You sure I didn’t do this?” Finneas quipped, “It was not peace or love.” He continued, “So I’m shocked, and then your producer goes, ‘We’re going to just do the song one more time.’ I think they aired the second take and I look like I’ve seen a ghost.”
He then sought a response from Questlove by prompting, “I’m just curious.” Questlove had no clue what to say, so he just shrugged and made some confused grunts. Everybody was laughing throughout this whole story, though, so it seems some sort of friendly misunderstanding was at play here.
Watch Finneas’ interview above. He also performed “Only A Lifetime” on the show, so check that out below.
Our Review Of The New ZZ Top Texas Whisky From Balcones
We’re not going to lie, we love a good collab whiskey around here. We also tend to be pretty ride-or-die for Waco, Texas’ Balcones Distilling. Part of that adoration is in the fact that the distillery team is always changing things up and innovating. They’re also always dropping cool collab bottles that actually deliver.
Case in point, their new release (so new that it’s still pre-order only) is a collaboration between the Texas distillery and the legendary Texas band, ZZ Top. This sounds like a match made in whisk(e)y heaven.
The batch was created this year over Zoom as the three band members met with the Balcones team to taste barrels and create blends to build this whisky. They ended up with a Texas whisky that’s a blend of whiskies from Balcones. Each whisky ended up representing a member of the blues rock trio and was named ‘Tres Hombres’ in their honor. We were lucky enough to get a bottle in advance, so let’s see what’s in the bottle!
ZZ Top Tres Hombres Texas Whisky
ABV: 50%
Average Price: $60 (pre-sale)
The Whisky:
ZZ Top worked directly with Jared Himstedt (over Zoom) to blend three Balcones whiskies together. The blend is one part Balcone’s signature Blue Corn Whisky, one part Texas Single Malt, and one part Texas Rye. The idea behind the blends was to build the sip from a bold and oily base towards a fruity mid-palate that ends up nice and spicy. Let’s see how they did.
Tasting Notes:
The nose really leans into the apple crumble with plenty of buttery streusel, brown sugar, and holiday spices (especially cinnamon) with a hint of a worn suede jacket that’s layered with decades of your grandma’s favorite perfume, honey, and cigarettes. The palate does indeed shift away from those notes slightly. The apple crumble is still there but leans more into the brown sugar to the point that it feels wet and almost heavy while a chewy and almost earthy note of grape skins, seeds, and stems arrive with a very slight bitter note that’s also green and herbal. That fruity but woody mid-palate leads towards a finish that’s very spicy and warm but more like a fresh pile of grated ginger next to apple-cider-soaked cinnamon sticks and a flutter of something savory … it kind of feels like fresh rosemary or thyme stems.
The Bottle:
Balcones puts all of their expressions in an old-school port bottle and it works. These bottles always stand out on a bar cart or whiskey bar shelf thanks to the stout size.
The label on this one also pops with a unique design dominated by the abstract image of ZZ Top. It’s eye-catching for sure and you know everything you need from that label by just looking at it.
Bottom Line:
I really dig this. It’s not a mind-blowing whisky but it’s a really solid sipper. It goes to interesting places and feels like the perfect gift for any ZZ Top fan this coming holiday season.
Ranking:
90/100 — This is a solid and very unique sipper and a great gift for a fan.

Yella Beezy Allegedly Raped Woman On First Date
Dallas rapper Yella Beezy has been accused of allegedly raping a woman following their first date in April. The “That’s On Me” artist was arrested earlier this month on sexual assault charges, and details are finally coming out about the allegations against him.
According to a report from TMZ, Yella Beezy raped a woman in April even after she told him to stop. The unidentified woman went to the ER following the alleged rape, which happened after Yella allegedly reached out to her on Instagram and asked if she wanted a new friend. They had a brief conversation on the platform before planning a date for dinner and bowling.

After dinner, Yella allegedly invited the woman back to his house as they waited two hours for their bowling reservation. Once they arrived at his spot, they played cards and spoke more. Yella allegedly asked for a massage while he was shirtless, and the woman gave him one. After the massage, the rapper allegedly started aggressively kissing her and pulling up her dress. She repeatedly told him “no” but he allegedly started raping her before she was able to run away. She says the rapper tried to gaslight her by saying she initiated the sex by kissing him.
In addition to sexual assault charges, Yella was also arrested for felony child endangerment charges and a misdemeanor for unlawful carrying of a weapon.
We will keep you posted on more information as it gets released.

Gunna Flexes Hefty Bill After Expensive Dinner
Being a rapper nowadays essentially requires you to flex your bank account and extravagant spending. While these flexes typically include jewelry or cars, Gunna decided to let us know we cannot relate to his eating habits either.
On Sunday (Nov. 14), Gunna posted an Instagram story of his bill at Little Alley Steak House in Atlanta, where he and his crew racked up a $17,000 charge. He captioned the post saying: “This how much it cost to eat with us.”
While it is blurry and difficult to read, it appears that their order included several bottles of Don Julio tequila, margaritas, drinks like Sprite and cranberry juice, macaroni and cheese, crab legs and much more.
Around $4,000 of the bill resulted from service charges and tax, but still easily eclipsed $10,000 before the extra charges.

This is only the latest instant of Gunna exhibiting his lavish lifestyle, as he gifted frequent collaborator Nav with a giant iced out ring for his 32nd birthday on. Nov. 3.
About two weeks before that, he also blew a bag on court-side seats at an Atlanta Hawks game for his spicy date with R&B star Chloe Bailey, who has been making noise for her newfound sexy lifestyle.
While Gunna has been using his abundant income to enjoy the finer things in life, he also set some of it aside to provide for his community. In September, he paid for and installed a clothing and grocery store in his old middle school in the Atlanta area to celebrate Gunna Day. The items in the store will be free for the students and their parents at the school.
Gunna sure knows how to indulge in a luxury lifestyle, as he showed on Instagram with his restaurant bill, but he also makes it a point to use that money to provide for those that are less fortunate as well.
Check out Gunna’s crazy receipt below.
Vanessa Bryant Forced To Turn Over Medical Records In L.A. County Case
Vanessa Bryant has been through a lot over the past couple of years. Following the death of Kobe and her daughter Gianna, Bryant was subjected to the fact that employees who worked for L.A. County had obtained photos of the crash site where the nine victims had passed away. It was then revealed that these images had been shown to random people, which caused even more distress.
As a result of all of this, Bryant is now suing L.A. County for their alleged actions. She claims that she has suffered emotional damage and distress due to the nature of the images and that this whole thing has caused a lot of anxiety for her and her family.

Throughout this process, L.A. County has been trying to get Bryant to undergo a psychological exam to see if she really has experienced emotional trauma due to the existence of the photos. In fact, according to TMZ, it has now been ruled that Bryant must turn over all of her medical records to the court, where it will then be determined whether or not she has been telling the truth. Bryant had tried to stop this ruling, however, the judge has deemed it relevant to the case.
Now, Bryant will have to submit her records before November 29th, otherwise, she could face ramifications in the lawsuit. This is a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest details and updates.

Conor McGregor Ripped By Chris Weidman For Broken Leg Memes
Conor McGregor is someone who has been known to ruffle feathers whether it be in real life or on social media. The UFC superstar has also been out of commission for the last few months after he broke his leg during a match against Dustin Poirier. During that time, McGregor has continued to be his arrogant self, and it doesn’t seem like he will be changing up on that, anytime soon.
In fact, McGregor recently drew the ire of Chris Weidman, who also experienced a leg break a few months ago. Weidman broke his leg in a similar fashion to Anderson Silva, who just so happened to be fighting Weidman when his leg broke in a dramatic fashion.
The issue with McGregor stems from the fact that the Irishman posted a meme on Twitter that made fun of Weidman and Silva for not being as stoic amid their injuries. Weidman felt as though he and Silva were being dissed for no reason, and the fighter had a lot to say about the matter on the Won’t Back Down podcast.
“He just put up some meme thing, I guess, you know,” Weidman said per ClutchPoints. “It’s a picture of me face down after I broke my leg, Anderson Silva with him screaming in pain when he broke his leg, and then it’s a picture of Conor McGregor. His leg’s broken. He’s talking to Joe Rogan. And he writes something like, ‘It’s not about what happens to you in life. It’s about how you deal with it moving forward.’ And it’s kind of like a slap in the face to me and Anderson Silva, like he handled pain and adversity in that moment better than we did.”
It makes sense that Weidman would feel that way, especially since Conor likes to be irreverent with the shots he takes. Perhaps next time, he will learn his lesson.
