Combs' unassuming appeal has given him mainstream success at a breakneck pace and he has the most streamed country album of 2018. Читать дальше...

When you think of Walter White’s best quotes, so many of them immediately come to mind that it’s hard to choose the all-time best one-liner: “I am not in danger, I am the danger…. I am the one who knocks… Say my name… Stay out of my territory… I’m in the empire business… We’re done when I say we’re done… F— you and your eyebrows… I did it for me…” So which of those is his real-life alter ego, Bryan Cranston’s, favorite Walt-ism? None of them. It’s actually, “Tread lightly.” We know, kind of underwhelming. Читать дальше...
