Wu-Tang Clan, the band that infamously auctioned off the only copy in existence of their 2015 Once Upon a Time in Shaolin album, does not disappoint with another limited-edition release: a 400-pound photo book by limited to 36 copies. Titled Wu-Tang Clan: Legacy, it will feature over 300 pages of unreleased photos looking back at the group’s 27 […]

Dolly Parton put her arm where her money went (or is it the other way around?), literally. A month after she donated $1 million to vaccine research at Nashville’s Vanderbilt University, Parton received her first dose of the COVID vaccine on Tuesday, also at Vanderbilt.
