Colbert Commenting On President Trump’s Mother’s Day Speech And Walking Back His Position On China (Video)

ROAST!! It’s hard being The President. Period. But when he tosses lobs for Colbert to knock out the park like this… Hilarity will ensue. Another funny Trump-filled monologue.

The President channeled “West Side Story” while defending his hypocritical directive to help China’s phone giant, ZTE, to “get back in business.”

Indonesian Teenagers Making Fast Cash In Illegal Motorcycle Races (Documentary)

This is insane! Man, things youth do, thinking they are immortal and invincible. Plus, there’s the money. Definitely a risk vs. reward thing to do; these high-speed illegal street races. Faster & furiouser. Watch!

Motorcycles rule the streets of Indonesia. By day, the bikes zip through Jakarta, ferrying residents to and from work—but by night, the roads give way to the underground world of illegal street racing. Kids as young as 12 compete in the high-speed sprints, where riders can make a small fortune off a single race. The rewards are great, but the risks are just as high: Flying down roads at breakneck speeds, one, small mistake can cost a “speed jockey” their life.

On this episode of ‘VICE INTL,’ VICE Indonesia went inside Jakarta’s dangerous, high-stakes street racing scene. We met up with a 16-year-old rising star to hear how he got involved, talked to the cops cracking down on illegal drag racing, and checked out a sprint ourselves—watching as two teenagers faced off for more cash than most Indonesians make in a month.

– VICE

Started watching this with that BDP joint “Love’s Gonna Getcha” in mind… kids like: “I make about a G a week. F**K school!”

Royce Da 5’9 Is In A More ‘Woke Place’ In This Episode Of “Open Space” (Video)

In the sit-down clip above, hear Royce Da 5’9 talk about being more ‘woke’ and aware – more about himself, his family, sobriety and really living day-to-day than about anything political.

I’m more aware than I’ve ever been. All my other albums were just moments, just moments of clarity. This is album is just me dialed in, all the way through. And that’s my life, I’m dialed in 24 hours a day.
Royce Da 5’9

It all builds into his new album “Book of Ryan.”

Comedy: ‘Deadpool’ Took A Shot At David Beckham Last Movie… Apology NOT Accepted (Video)

Can’t rightly call this a “Deadpool 2” trailer. These apology attempts to David Beckham are hilarious and make for an awesome standalone video clip… but still… go see “Deadpool 2” because that’s gonna be dope, too.

#GoGetEmPoolboy

After surviving a near-fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Mayberry’s hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste. Searching to regain his spice for life, as well as a flux capacitor, Wade must battle ninjas, the yakuza, and a pack of sexually aggressive canines, as he journeys around the world to discover the importance of family, friendship, and flavor – finding a new taste for adventure and earning the coveted coffee mug title of World’s Best Lover.
– 20th Century Fox

Okay, the writers had a field day with that description (above) AND this clip (um… abover). Enjoy!

(And for the record, Mr. Beckham: I LOVE “Blade: Trinity” – especially Ryan’s portrayal of Hannibal King. So there!)

Zazie Beetz On Her Character In “Deadpool 2” (Video)

Mm mm mm! “Atlanta” might be making a mistake letting Zazie Beetz lose in Hollywood in a Marvel Comics Universe movie like this. She’s a star. Even in a supporting role in “Deadpool 2” she shines #PlusSheIsHOT #SoSexy

Just watch the interview.

Zazie talks about her name, the differences between Germans and Americans, and playing Domino in Deadpool 2.

Céline Dion – “Ashes” (Video)

A great mixture of stirring song and silliness… that’s how we fit a Céline Dion track (“Ashes”) onto the “Deadpool 2 Motion Picture Soundtrack.” In case you were wondering. Watch the video above and see exactly what we mean. Can’t be sure if the high-heeled Deadpool was something to at least politely giggle at, but the end makes it all alright. Ha!

Lenny Kravitz – “It’s Enough” (Video)

Wow. A LOT to unpack. Be ready to watch a couple of times to ingest all the themes covered in this visual. The song itself is dope on first listen, but hearing (really hearing) it again would be recommended, too.

Interesting, and expected, that this new Lenny Kravitz joint would garner reaction in general. It’s Kravitz, a true craftsman of music. But even more interesting is the breadth and depth of reactions to the Rolling Stone tweet (seen below) about it. Some like it, others LOVE it; and some of the rest came down with a hard case of HATE… even given the release caption that accompanies the video: “IT’S ENOUGH! Let Love Rule.” Too bad for the haters. This is good work. Compelling and heartfelt!

IDK -“Lil Arrogant” feat. Joey Bada$$ x Russ

BAAAARRRZ dammit!! Rap lyrics matter. And getting these emcees together showcases punchlines hitting like they’re throwing ‘punches in bunches’ in the ring. Banger!

(It’s okay if they come across as a “Lil Arrogant” … since they really are that dope.)

Food: A Debate On ‘The Best Donut’ (Video)

The blueberry on them hoes… That blueberry go so HARD!

Haha! Precious is so… precious for saying that like that. She and the SquADD go hard about their favorite donuts AND with shots at each other (par for the course). Gotta admit: (1) I thought this would be a debate on brands (e.g. Krispy Kreme vs. Dunkin) and (2) Precious’ sexy matches her level of silly. She does it for me. Facts!
