My Silent Bravery Covers Nelly"s "Ride Wit Me," Delivers Major Early-2000s Nostalgia

If the current state of the world has you longing for a simpler time when Y2K was our biggest security concern and rappers wore blinged-out Band-Aids under their eyes for some reason, have we got a treat for you.


There"s a good chance you"re already familiar with the Boston-based band My Silent Bravery.


After all, the band has recently toured with Emerson Hart, Meiko, Tyler Hilton, Kate Voegele, Lee DeWyze, and Aaron Carter, just to name a few.


But for those of you still in need of an introduction, we welcome you to check out their fantastic new cover of the 2001 Nelly classic "Ride Wit Me."


The song is a fun, funny rendition of one of this century"s most beloved club bangers.


As a bonus, some of our younger readers might walk away with an understanding of the aughts" most heavily-bandaged rappers.


You can thanks us by caring for us in our old age.


Anyway, Matt Wade and MSB"s version is every bit as catchy as the original, but please be warned that after watching the video, you may find yourself tempted to shout, "Ay! Must be the mon-ayy!" at debt collectors, people trying to force wrinkled bills into vending machines, or anyone asking why you"ve been at the same crappy job for the past 8 years.


We accept zero responsibility for this phenomenon. Enjoy!

Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner: Did They Have an Awkward Encounter at the Oscars?

For months after they officially separated, no one really knew what was going on with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.



There were rumors of Ben and Jen getting back together, and even attending marriage counseling to help repair their damaged relationship.


Those rumors may have been put to rest on Sunday night, when both Affleck and Garner both attended big Oscar-night events – and seemed to have zero interest in talking to one another.


According to Radar Online, Garner – who presented an award alongside Benicio Del Toro during the ceremony – unexpectedly came face-to-face with Affleck at the star studded Vanity Fair after-party.


 “Ben didn’t even say hello,” one onlooker tells the website.


No surprise there, as the run-in occurred just days after Garner opened up about her divorce in a remarkably candid interview, during which she also openly mocked Affleck’s over-the-top back tattoo.


However, other sources are claiming that Ben and Jen got along swimmingly at their son’s fourth birthday party (where Ben donned his Batman costume to entertain the kids) just one day before the Oscars, and they kept the friendly vibes going at the VF party.


“They had a nice moment where they caught up and a lot of their friends were there – and they chatted and then they left,” a source tells People.


So it looks like we can safely say these two are not getting back together, but as for if or when they’ll follow through with their divorce – we’re as clueless as ever.


Emily Maynard: "Bachelorette" Star Expecting Third Child!

Congratulations are in order for Emily Maynard and husband, Tyler Johnson.



The couple, who married in 2014 and welcomed son Jennings Tyler in July, are pregnant with their second child (Maynard has a ten-year-old daughter, Ricki from a previous relationship).


Maynard confirmed the news via her People Celebrity Blog this morning.


“Some might say I’m crazy. Some might call me a glutton for punishment. I’d say I’m a little bit of both,” Maynard wrote. 


“But more than anything, I’m just so excited for this summer to get here. Why you ask? Well … I’m pregnant. Again And before you even say anything, yes, I realize I just had Jennings like, two seconds ago.”


Hey, it happens.  Just ask Jessica Simpson.


“I guess I should’ve read that part in the baby handbook that says you’re super fertile after giving birth, huh?” Maynard continued.


“With all that said, I truly couldn’t be more excited. I said about two weeks after Jennings was born that I couldn’t wait to have another, I just had no clue it would happen so quickly!


“Some of my closest friends have had a really hard time getting pregnant and my heart breaks for them, so I’m just so grateful for this blessing God has given our family.


“Tyler comes from a family of four boys and they couldn’t be closer, so I’m really looking forward to Jennings having a built-in best friend, whether it’s a boy or a girl.


“Ricki is really hoping it’s a girl so she can teach her how to be a tomboy and play soccer!”


JLo: Ben Affleck"s Back Tattoo Is FUGLY!!!

It"s equal parts painful and entertaining to watch Andy Cohen grill his guests to the point where they cry "UNCLE!" and want to move on.


On last night"s Watch What Happens Live, Cohen invited Jennifer Lopez back to the clubhouse for a third appearance.


Cohen put Lopez on the spot, first with a Marry-Shag-Kill game involving her American Idol co-stars, Harry Connick, Jr., Ryan Seacrest and Keith Urban.


It got too weird for Lopez, who giggled and insisted they move on to the next question, which had to do with her ex-fiance, Ben Affleck.


"What is your honest opinion of Ben Affleck"s phoenix back tattoo?" Cohen asked the Shades of Blue star, showing a photo of Affleck and his skin mural from December 2015.


"It"s awful!" she declared. 


"I mean, I would tell him that. I would tell him," she insisted, adding she would ask Affleck, "What are you doing?"


"It has too many colors. His tattoos always have too many colors. They shouldn"t be so colorful. You know what I mean?" she said. 


"They should be cooler."


Be honest, JLo. You"d still hit it.


In addition to the eye sore on his back, Affleck has a bunch of tattoos covering the right side of his body.  


A dolphin on his right hip covers up the name of his high school girlfriend, according to E!.


His right bicep features a barbed wire tattoo, while initials are inked on his right shoulder blade, and complicated design made up of a fish, skull and crossbones covers his right arm.


About that dolphin tatt…
