It looks like Jaden Smith is all grown up. Will Smith’s youngest son dropped the music video for his catchy new song, “Pumped Up Kicks (Like Me)" this week, which samples the 2010 mega-hit by Foster the People.

The black-and-white video, directed by Mark Vargas, shows 14-year old Smith in leopard print skinny jeans and diamond stud earrings, dancing and skateboarding with his crew of friends, the MSFTS, and a bunch of cute girls at Skatelab Park in Los Angeles.

Jaden is barely recognizable as the little boy we knew from "The Karate Kid" and he alludes to his new grown-man status, rapping about “parties with hot actresses," riding in Maybachs with his dad, and how “everybody wants chicks like me." Smith is dropping his mixtape this September and we are sure to see lots more swag and possibly a collabo with his BFF, Justin Bieber. Looks like there is a new Fresh Prince in town.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
