By Awa
Alright, so let's take a trip down memory lane to the year 2001. Times were much simpler back then, but that doesn't mean that it was boring, especially from a pop culture standpoint.

The Spice Girls Reunion News Has Fans Losing Their Minds, And We Are Right There With Them

By Tanya
You guys, it's happening. The Spice Girls are reuniting and we are not okay. It's been too long since our favorite ladies got together at the Olympics, specifically six years too long. The Spice Girls gave an epic performance, but they decided that they weren't going to do a full reunion, until now. The 20th anniversary of "Wannabe" just passed by, and it left us all wondering if our British pop goddesses would once again smile down upon us.

Family Sues Doctors and Pharmacy In The Wrongful Death Of "3 Doors Down" Guitarist

By Sandra
I remember going into my room, closing the door, and blasting "Kryponite" when I just didn't want to think about anything other than the beat. 3 Doors Down had that sound that really resonated with most of us in the 90s, and even now you can't help but turn it up when it comes on your playlist. In 2016, we were saddened to learn that lead guitar and backup vocalist, Matt Roberts, had died of an apparent overdose in a hotel outside of Milwaukee. The musician, who left the band in 2012, was only 38-years-old at the time of his

By Moojan
Titanic is currently one of the top five highest grossing films ever, raking in more than $2 billion. That's quite the title to have, considering how many exceptional movies are out there.There are so many things we love about this film. The storyline is incredibly emotional, and the characters are wonderfully lovable. We know that Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have made a considerable amount of money for their roles in the film, which has left them in the limelight ever since, but how much do the minor characters in the film make? I've been wondering, haven't you? Pop

By Meg
Remember the website FMyLife? Which stood for "Fuck My Life?" People would flock to the site every day to read about other people's problems and horribly embarrassing mishaps.

Forgotten 'X-Files' Photoshoot Is Literally The Most '90s Thing You'll Ever See

By Devin
Don't get me wrong, the '90s were an incredible decade (the best decade, let's be real), and we were so lucky to get to experience it. But it was also, hands down, the weirdest time to be alive. What more needs to be said, really?Mercury/PolygramWhile 2017 was pretty wild, and 2018 only promises to be worse, there's no way that anything happening now could ever hold a candle to some of the things the '90s threw our way. Given the decade's obsession with all things bizarre and strange, it makes perfect sense that a show about all things

Whether it was your obsession with dinosaurs, the amazing music or Jeff Goldblum, this movie stands the test of time. So does that famed actor.

What Happened To Vanessa Carlton After Her Signature Song "A Thousand Miles"?

By Moojan
Vanessa Carlton is not a name you hear nowadays, but we can guarantee that a majority of women, and most likely men, in their 20s and 30s know every single word to the American pop singer's debut single. But after all the love for "A Thousand Miles" died down, we became seriously worried that Vanessa just settled for home bound or got lost in the crowd. I mean, it's all in the lyrics, or are we just looking into it too much? The singer has a lot of explaining to do...Basi karaoke GratisWhen the song was released in 2001,
