Look … It’s not like we’re broke because we have a “serious drinking habit.” Or because we’re “lazy and just didn’t manage to make it into work on time.” OK, that’s a lie. But still, even with only $10 in our pockets, we here at Crossfade wanna party. Thank god…
What really matters in life? Is it family? Is it power? Is it success in your career? No, it’s tit buoyancy. At least, that’s what Rihanna will be most concerned when she reaches her nifty 50s. The Barbadian sex goddess recently sat down for a revealing yet playful on-screen interview…
The feud between Miami’s Raider Klan and NYC’s A$AP Mob continues … As we here at Crossfade have previously pointed out, Raider capo SpaceGhostPurrp and Mob boss A$AP Rocky were once homies.

Yes, Soulja Boy showed off his pretty-boy bone on Tumblr. But, uh, it was an “accident.” The platinum-selling, dance-craze-starting, go-dumb rapper posted a picture of his swaggy weiner the other day, and Perez Hilton snagged an NSFW version before it was deleted. Because we know you’re as perverse and voyeuristic…

Democracy kicks serious culo, bro. So yesterday, we here at Crossfade spent approximately four hours sizzling in the South Florida sun while waiting at the ass-end of a 23,000-person queue and enduring the screeching taunts of psychotic eight-year-old Republicans with signs that shouted, “Our Navy Seals Begged for Help and…
