Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Poison re-enact the ’80s at SoFi

“Long way from the Sunset Strip,” Nikki Sixx said as he took in his surroundings, and that was certainly true enough: Instead of the Roxy or Gazzarri’s or one of the other sweaty West Hollywood nightclubs in which his band Mötley Crüe made its name, the 63-year-old bassist was peering out at the cavernous expanse of Inglewood’s gleaming SoFi Stadium, where Mötley Crüe touched down Saturday night for a hometown stop on the group’s latest tour.Yet some things never change.As he addressed the tens of thousands of fans before…

Harley Quinn season 3 review: it’s Poison Ivy’s turn to drive

In its first two seasons, HBO Max’s Harley Quinn set its titular antiheroine free of the toxic relationship that’s long since become a relic of Harley Quinn™’s past and imagined a Gotham where villains like Clayface and King Shark aspired to more than terrorizing the city. Though Harley Quinn’s third season takes its time before fully fixing its focus on its namesake, it’s an example of how a show can actually become much, much stronger by letting its main character play the supporting role in stories that aren’t…

Here are a bunch (hat tip to some extraordinary research from More Bedside Books) As Bleeding Cool pointed out last month, today's Poison Ivy #2 doubles down on her new status.
