Korn's New Bassist Is The 12-Year-Old Son Of Metallica's Bassist

There’s now a definitive child of the Korn.

Over the weekend, nu-metal band Korn announced on Facebook that they will be touring their upcoming South America shows with a “special guest.” Filling in for their regular bassist, Fieldy, will be Tye Trujillo ― the 12-year-old son of Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo.

“We are bummed Fieldy can’t join us on this run but excited to do a few gigs with a young player like Tye,” said the band in the statement. “We look forward to welcoming our brother Fieldy back when we return to the States in May.”

The young Trujillo is currently the bassist for a band called The Helmets. His famous dad has played live with him onstage in the past, which you can watch below.

This isn’t the first time in the last few months that Korn has been involved with very unexpected news.

A limited edition Korn-themed Toblerone materialized in December and photos of the surprising chocolate bar bounced around the internet.

Below is Korn drummer Ray Luzier posing with guitarist Brian Welch and the custom bars. 

Also, never forget when the band made a guest appearance on “South Park” in 1999 as a parody of the Scooby-Doo mystery team. The members of Korn are apparently the kings of strange pop culture moments.

Fans Think Katy Perry's New Buzzcut Makes Her Look Like Justin Bieber

Katy Perry is now the proud owner of a blonde buzzcut. 

The “Chained to the Rhythm” singer, who recently debuted a shorter haircut just a few weeks ago, shared a photo of her new ‘do Monday on Instagram. 

Perry captioned her photo, “✨fifth element flow✨,” which appears to be a reference to a 1997 movie starring Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich.

Perry also posted pictures on her Instagram story, showing that celebrity hairdresser Chris McMillan was behind the cut.

As soon as the singer posted the photos of her new hair, fans pointed out that she looked a lot like two other famous pop stars: Justin Bieber and Halsey. 

At the Grammy Awards in February, Perry landed herself in hot water for joking about shaving all her hair off. While explaining the need for a break from music to Ryan Seacrest, Perry seemingly took a shot at Britney Spears by saying, “And I haven’t shaved my head yet.”

64 Years After Prom, High School Sweethearts Reunite And Marry

Six decades after going to prom together, two high school sweethearts are finally getting their shared happy ending. 

Joyce Kevorkian and Jim Bowman dated their junior and senior years of high school in Illinois in the early 1950s, then went their separate ways for college. They each met spouses at college, and each had long, happy marriages before they were widowed. 

Then something unexpected happened. Bowman, who lives in Springfield, Illinois, called up his former flame and asked her to help plan their high school reunion. One phone call lead to another ― and another. And another, said Kevorkian’s granddaughter, Anna Harris, who shared their wedding photo on Twitter. 

Eventually, Bowman decided to come visit. 

“My grandma had been very sad since my grandpa passed away five years ago, but when she started talking to Jim, she turned back into her old self,” Harris told The Huffington Post. “When I’d call her up, she had a lot of things she wanted to tell me about her life ― she had things to look forward to again.”  

That list of things to look forward to included planning a wedding. On April 1, the two 81-year-olds tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Holy Cross Village in South Bend, Indiana. 

“It was a really heartwarming ceremony,” said Harris. “The best man and maid of honor (me!) gave little speeches and then the two lovebirds left for their honeymoon.” 

Since the reunion, Harris said her grandma is back to her usual, giggly self. 

“It’s almost like she is 17 again. When Jim proposed, she didn’t hesitate one bit and she has been so, so happy ever since,” Harris told HuffPost. “To me, Jim isn’t really replacing my grandpa, he’s giving me my grandma back.”

Democrats Contemplate How To Forfeit Their Power Upon Regaining The Senate

function onPlayerReadyVidible(e){‘undefined’!=typeof HPTrack&&HPTrack.Vid.Vidible_track(e)}!function(e,i){if(e.vdb_Player){if(‘object’==typeof commercial_video){var a=”,o=’m.fwsitesection=’+commercial_video.site_and_category;if(a+=o,commercial_video[‘package’]){var c=’&m.fwkeyvalues=sponsorship%3D’+commercial_video[‘package’];a+=c}e.setAttribute(‘vdb_params’,a)}i(e.vdb_Player)}else{var t=arguments.callee;setTimeout(function(){t(e,i)},0)}}(document.getElementById(‘vidible_1’),onPlayerReadyVidible);

WASHINGTON ― After watching Senate Republicans lower the threshold for confirming a Supreme Court justice in order to vote Neil Gorsuch onto the court, Senate Democrats are openly talking about making it harder for themselves to do the same, if and when they regain power.

Over the past few days, a number of Democratic lawmakers have said they’d be open to bringing back the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees.

“When the Democrats return to the majority and capture the presidency ― which we will, that day is going to arrive ― we will restore the 60-vote margin,” Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) told MSNBC on Monday. “We will ensure that for the Supreme Court, there is that special margin that any candidate has to reach, because that is essential to ensuring that our country has a confidence in people who are nominated, rather than just someone who passes a litmus test.”

The idea that Democrats would one day make it harder for a Supreme Court nominee to be confirmed is baffling from a partisan standpoint. Under such a scenario, Democrats would be in control of the Senate, and would therefore already have the number of votes needed to defeat any nominee ― since as of last week, the process now requires just a simple majority vote. Thus, if Democrats controlled the Senate and the president were a Republican, Dems wouldn’t need to raise the filibuster threshold to block that president’s choice. And if the president were a Democrat, Senate Dems would actually be making it harder for that president’s nominee to end up on the court.

Some Democrats arguing for the re-institution of the Supreme Court filibuster have talked about it in terms of regaining institutional authority for the legislative branch and encouraging more bipartisanship. They’ve also discussed setting the threshold at something lower than 60 votes, so as to encourage collaboration between the two parties without necessarily risking a nominee.

“One of the things I floated a number of times… was a swap,” said Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), who tried and failed to negotiate a resolution to the Gorsuch standoff. “Let’s repair some of the damage done in 2013. Restore a filibuster for Cabinet, sub-Cabinet, district court, circuit court. But make it a 55-vote margin or a 56-vote margin. And in exchange for that, let’s lower the filibuster margin for the Supreme Court to 56.”

“I would be very interested in both strengthening the filibuster rule and strengthening just some of the operations of the institutions of the Senate so that there has to be bipartisanship,” Coons went on. “So that there has to be a few members of the other party signing off and supporting everything.”

But such talk might just be strategic posturing. After all, when Democrats changed the rules in 2013 to make it easier for lower court and Cabinet nominees to get through, then-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) signaled that he had no desire to meddle with the Supreme Court filibuster. As recently as this January, McConnell was saying it would require 67 votes to change that rule ― something that he proved, this past week, was abundantly not true, when he pushed the changes through with a majority. It’s easier to argue in defense of norms and rules and bipartisanship when you’re not in a position to make political gains.

Asked in January whether he too was open to reinstating the filibuster rules originally overturned by Democrats, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) hinted at a willingness.

“I’d have to discuss that, but it’s something I’d certainly consider, yes,” Schumer told The Huffington Post, insisting that he argued against changing the rules in 2013.
