RELEASESThe Jubilee chart battle has begun! Is it a chart battle when the two contenders are aiming for different chart positions? Sarah Brightman and Alfie Boe’s new recording of ‘God Save The Queen’ is going for number one, while The Kunts are looking at number two with ‘Prince Andrew Is A Sweaty Nonce’.Calvin Harris has released new single ‘Potion’, featuring Dua Lipa and Young Thug. “It’s an honour to work with Dua and Thug again”, he says. “They’re both such dynamic artists who have contributed so much to today’s musical landscape”.

The 2022 incursion in the big old battle of the shoes continues, with the US Second Circuit appeals court agreeing to fast-track an appeal filed in relation to Tyga’s Wavy Baby trainers because, you know, free speech and the very fundamental essence of the First Amendment of the American constitution are definitely under threat here.I mean, if there was one thing the founding fathers were very clear on it was that rappers and their quirky business partners should be allowed to display their wavy shoes in public, and no trademark laws passed by pesky Congress should ever get in the fucking way of that.So, yes, this is the latest rapper-and-shoe-based legal battle involving MSCHF, the New York-based company that specialises in, well, mischief. Last year the legal sparring was with Nike which took offence at MSCHF and Lil Nas X partnering on the Satan Shoes.That project involved messing with some Nike trainers in a satanic way in a bid to piss off as many conservative christians as possible.

sex life may think their house is full of sex furniture already - and they wouldn't be wrong.After all you can have some pretty intense moments of passion on the bed, sofa, up against the wall - anywhere you fancy really, as long as it's in the comfort of your own home.But, for those looking to take things up a notch, there are now actually pieces of furniture on the market that can help you get a little more creative in the bedroom.If you're looking for different ways to have sex - without having to sacrifice your sofa or your dining table - there is such a thing as sex furniture that is made purely for enjoying a bit of kinky time.Casey Tanner, Certified Sex Therapist and sexpert for LELO, told Inside Hook: "Sex furniture is furniture or props that are specially designed to be used for sexual and erotic activities."Tanner says the pieces are usually designed to help with a couple's positioning during intercourse, and the furniture should work to heighten both pleasure and comfort.The furniture can include anything from small props like wedges or sex pillows to larger pieces of furniture that will take up quite a bit of room. It's reported that one of the most renowned brands in the sex furniture department is Liberator - it sells items such as chic chaise lounges that are inspired by ergonomic sex that come complete with washable covers.Even though you would probably stay away from putting the furniture on show in your living room, some of it does look rather funky and could blend in with a modern, retro theme quite well.
