The console wars are often drawn between the Xbox and PlayStation camps (sorry Nintendo), but, whether you’d like to admit it or not, there will always be games from the other side of the fence you wish you could play on your favorite console. The most obvious solution would be to get both consoles, but that would quickly become a … Continue reading
It’s an a cappella clash for the ages.
Actor-singer Jamie Foxx challenged “Late Late Show” host James Corden to a riff-off Thursday, and the resulting battle didn’t disappoint.
Things got pretty heated as the duo, with backing from The Filharmonic vocal group, fought for singing supremacy.
And when it all got a bit too much for Corden, it was up to Foxx’s “Baby Driver” costar Ansel Elgort to make a late appearance and smooth things over.
Check out the full segment above.

The Bat Signal shone for Adam West one final time on Thursday night.
The iconic symbol was projected onto Los Angeles City Hall in honor of the actor, who died last Friday at 88.
Fans wearing Batman-themed costumes cheered as the signal appeared:
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and actor Burt Ward, who played West’s sidekick Robin in the 1960s TV series, both gave moving speeches.
“Adam West taught us that each one of us had a heart of gold and that we could have a fun time doing it too,” said Garcetti. “There will never be a Batman like Adam West and there will never be another Adam West.”
Ward said West was at the event “spiritually,” adding that his friend would be telling everyone to “be incredibly happy and joyous.”
“He would tell you that we’re all on this planet for such a very short period of time, to make the most of every day you’re here, to be with your family, be with your friends, be kind to people,” Ward added.

Jay Z became the first rapper to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame on Thursday night ― and he got one heck of an introduction.
Former President Barack Obama delivered a videotaped message heaping praise on the music mogul, whose real name is Shawn Carter.
Obama first congratulated many of the other inductees, including Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Berry Gordy, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Robert Lamm and James Pankow and Max Martin.
Then he got to Jay Z.
“I like to think Mr. Carter and I understand each other. Nobody who met us as younger men would have expected us to be where we are today. We know what it’s like not to have a father around, we know what it’s like not to come from much, and to know people who didn’t get the same breaks that we did. And so we try to prop open those doors of opportunity so that it’s a little easier for those who come up behind us to succeed as well.”
The former commander in chief also made a crack referencing to their powerful partners, former first lady Michelle Obama and megastar singer Beyoncé.
“And let’s face it,” he said. “We both have wives who are significantly more popular than we are.”
Obama also spoke of listening to Jay Z’s music throughout his career, from his early days as a state senator to preparing his final State of the Union address.
“I’m pretty sure I’m still the only president to listen to Jay Z’s music in the Oval Office,” he said. “That may change at some point, but I’m pretty sure that’s true now.”
Check out the full message above.
Jay Z proved he could give as well as he receives. While he wasn’t at the ceremony ― Beyoncé is expected to give birth to their twins any day now ― he tweeted his thanks to “all the people that have inspired me.”
The rap star wasn’t sparring with the praise, either: He thanked some 90 other artists including The Notorious B.I.G., Tupac Shakur, Andre 300, Nas, Lil Wayne, Queen Latifah and, of course, Queen Bey.
“B a rapper too!” he wrote.
But Jay Z saved his best praise for a man he called “the greatest rapper of all time.”
“Thank you 44,” he wrote to Obama.

Jimmy Kimmel called on a (spoof) witch to rule whether President Donald Trump is actually the subject of the “greatest witch hunt” in U.S. political history.
The late night host turned to high priestess Abigail Shipton (”Brooklyn Nine-Nine” star Andy Samberg) to make sense of the claim, which Trump made over a new report which indicated he is under investigation for obstruction of justice.
“No, of course not,” said Samberg as Shipton, who wore a witch’s hat for Thursday’s skit. “I’ve been hunted and it’s nothing like this.”
Kimmel also joked about Trump “making witch hunts great again” and suggested how people would know if the president really did posses magical powers.

Alongside house band The Roots, the 19-year-old hip-hop star rapped his way through “The Simpsons” universe to a reworked version of the animated show’s theme tune.
