M.I.A. kicked off Kid Cudi tour

As some of you may recall, a number of year's ago M.I.A. (the rapper, not the punk band) became a punk/indie darling when she released "Paper Planes," which famously sampled The Clash. Since then, things have been a little bumpy- two years ago, M.I.A. endorsed Trump, which a lot of fans did not like. Recently, M.I.A. started a tour with Kid Cudi. However, on Monday, she was removed from the tour.Kid Cudi stated: ""TOUR UPDATE: M.I.A is no longer on this tour. I told my management to send a notice to her team before we started tour that I didn't want anything offensive at my shows, cuz I already knew what time it was, and I was assured things were understood. After the last couple shows, I've been flooded with messages from fans that were upset by her rants. This, to me, is very disappointing and I wont have someone on my tour making offensive remarks that upsets my fanbase. Thank you for understanding. – Rager"You can see one of M.I.A.'s recent on-stage speeches below.

Bourdain begins in the trailer for Matt Johnson’s ‘Tony’

<p>We’ve been ambivalent about the idea of an Anthony Bourdain biopic ever since we heard that A24 was scouting locations for Tony in Provincetown last spring/summer, and that hasn’t really changed in the past year. No one can really do him much justice on screen — just look at what happened to Roadrunner a few summers ago — because they’re competing with endlessly entertaining reruns of No Reservations (the CNN show wasn’t as good, because at that point Bourdain had […]</p>
