The latest season of ‘Black Mirror’ found its way to Netflix this week and has been met with generally positive reviews from the millions who call themselves fans.

Unfortunately, the wave of outstanding reviews it has earned finds itself forced to compete with rising criticism surrounding the episode ‘Striking Vipers’ which stars Nicole Beharie, Anthony Mackie and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

Queen of Pop Madonna is royally under fire from critics – this time from sexual abuse victims and their supporters for what many are calling an ‘exaggerated use of analogies’ to rape.

Earlier this week the 60-year-old diva made headlines for a feature in the ‘New York Times’ magazine that saw her reflect over her illustrious career, including a recount of the leak of her 2015 album, ‘Rebel Heart’ (click here to read it).  To describe the helplessness she felt at the time, she likened the experience to being raped.

Now, just days after its publishing, she’s taken to Instagram to slam the publication and the very interviewer (Vanessa Grigoriadis) who wrote the article and claims…you guessed it…the experience with the journalist made her feel raped.

The Disclosure-produced cut – which serves as the first single from the 21-year-old’s first Billboard 200 chart-topper, ‘Free Spirit’ – has soared to the #3 position on this week’s refreshed Hot 100.  The move not only grants the singer-songwriter his first top 5 placement on the tally as a leading act, but also comes as his highest charting solo single to date.

Fans familiar with his work know this isn’t his first run in the top 5 overall as he reached #3 as a feature alongside Alessia Cara on rapper Logic‘s ‘1-800-273-8255’ in September 2017.
