Anthony Kiedis is sitting on top of a camper in Napa Valley.

It’s a sunny afternoon in May at the annual BottleRock Music Festival and fans down below are snapping photos of the Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman, who’s posing for the cameras. But the rock & roll legend isn’t here to play a show with his band. Later that afternoon, Kiedis is set to hop...

Red Hot Chili Peppers vocalist Anthony Kiedis has followed in the footsteps of Green Day by launching his own coffee brand.

The company is named Jolene, an amalgamation of the phrases “cup of Joe” and “lean latte” (the latter of which refers to a latte without whole milk), while also referencing Dolly Parton’s iconic song. Co-founded with Kiedis’ longtime friend Shane Powers, the brand offers two varieties of canned coffee: Black (cold brew) and White (oat milk latte).

Jolene sources its beans from an all-female co-op in Peru, aiming to ensure “high-quality beans while directly supporting the women growers and their communities,” according to a press release.

Kiedis and Powers have partnered with Live Nation, which will act as both an investor and distributor of Jolene at festivals and 40 of its venues. In addition to the canned offerings, the concert promoter will feature the coffee in four signature cocktails.

In the world of Survivor, viewers are used to seeing unexpected twists and intense challenges. But some moments happen off-screen that are just as shocking, if not more so, than what airs on television. One such incident took place during a season where two contestants stumbled upon something so bizarre, it could have completely changed the course of the game.

What they found was not another challenge or advantage, but something far more dangerous and illegal. While the discovery never made it to air, the behind-the-scenes story has become a legendary tale among Survivor fans.

What happened when two contestants stumbled upon illegal drugs during Survivor: Panama?

Survivor has always been known for its unexpected twists and challenges, but nothing could have prepared Shane Powers and Aras Baskauskas for the shocking discovery they made during Survivor: Panama. This was something...

In the years since Jeff Probst's beloved reality show premiered, Survivor has widely been recognized as one of the best competition shows. Even though Survivor has some fans who are still figuring out which seasons to watch first, many of its viewers have been watching for many years. Those loyal fans tend to know things like who was the first person to be medically evacuated, who the best players are, which seasons are the best, and how to rank the show's winners.

Many of Survivor's most dedicated fans are so supportive of the series' stars that they have worried about the show's players during the scariest moments. However, the former Survivor winner Michele Fitzgerald has also spoken out about how some Survivor fans can really be destructive to the players.

Survivor Fans Eroded Michele Fitzgerald's Self-Confidence

Looking back at Michele Fitzgerald's Survivor tenure, it should be clear that...

Among the Survivor fan base, there are a lot of topics about the reality show that are hotly debated. Which seasons are the best, who the best players ever are, and how to rank every winner are all examples of that. However, once fans are past the point of figuring out which seasons to watch first, they tend to agree that seasons with returning players are exciting. After all, fans who know who the first player to be medically evacuated was love to see their favorites return.

Ever since Survivor premiered, Jeff Probst has returned for every season, which is part of the reason he is the most important reality TV host ever. Considering he is part of every season, it is amazing to know that Jeff once wanted to ban returning players from Survivor.

Survivor's Jeff Probst Once Hated The Idea Of Returning Players

Since Survivor: Winners at War...

Thankfully for Survivor fans, the beloved reality show gives viewers a lot to be invested in. Fans can get excited about the best players, debating which seasons are the best, the show's best winners, and even the players who get medically evacuated. If all that wasn't enough, even fans who are still figuring out which seasons to watch first will likely know who Jeff Probst is and be interested in him.

After many years of starring in Survivor, it could be argued that Jeff is the most important reality TV host of all time. With that in mind, it is fascinating to learn that Jeff once spoke out about why he hated the players using social media while their seasons are airing.

Why Jeff Probst Hated Survivor Players Using Social Media During Their Season

When Survivor premiered in the year 2000, the internet was already a thing, but it was very different.

When the 40th season of Survivor aired, it was designed for fans of Jeff Probst's beloved reality show who were no longer worried about which seasons to watch first. Instead, Survivor: Winners at War was meant for the kind of fans who can rank the seasons, recognize who the best players are, and know who the first person to be medically evacuated was. During Survivor: Winners at War, the show welcomed back 20 of the best winners from the past to play against each other.

One of Survivor: Winners at War's players, Wendell Holland, has a history of being involved with other players. One of the former winners that Wendell is known to have dated was his former Survivor: Winners at War tribemate Michele Fitzgerald. According to what Michele later said, Survivor: Winners at War misled fans about her relationship with Wendell.

Why Michele Fitzgerald Was Angry About How...

Throughout the history of Survivor, the beloved reality show has featured a slew of great players throughout its many seasons that fans love to rank. For example, even fans who are still figuring out which seasons to watch first will likely know about the most remarkable winners as much as they know who Jeff Probst is. On top of that, many there have been some players who didn't win the game who also left their mark on fans.

One perfect example of a player who didn't win who is unforgettable for most Survivor fans is Shane Powers. After all, even though Shane didn't do anything like get medically evacuated or win immunity many times, he left behind one of the show's most remarkable legacies.

Why Survivor: Panama's Shane Powers Is Remembered For His Strangest Moments

Looking back at when Shane Powers played Survivor almost two decades ago, it is impossible...

When people get chosen to compete in Survivor, they typically have a pretty good idea of what to expect, at least in theory. For example, Survivor players who've seen enough seasons to rank them all will know that they might have to deal with dangers that could get them medically evacuated. Even new fans who are still figuring out which seasons to watch first also know that people who play Jeff Probst's beloved reality show will have to compete against great players.

However, there have been some Survivor players who've had to deal with things that absolutely nobody would have expected. A perfect example of that is the fact that Survivor: Panama's Shane Powers and Aras Baskauskas once stumbled across something extremely illegal while they were playing the game.

Shane Powers And Aras Baskauskas Found A Package Of A Highly Illegal Drug While Playing Survivor

As anyone who is...

Survivor has been leveling up its game in every season, all thanks to showrunner Jeff Probst. The host has worked consistently in order to keep the show as thrilling and gruesome as he can. While some of his decisions have enjoyed public opinion, others have failed to capture what he intended to do in the first place. However, even this couldn’t shake the love and respect he has for the show that basically gave him the career push he needed.

He has been with the show from day one. However, in an interview, a participant of Survivor made a startling admission that the host is apparently threatened by him.

The Lost Boys wasn’t just a massive box office success, it was also a game-changer in vampire media, making the undead hip again and convincing a whole generation that they too could become juvenile vampire hunters (though I know a lot of people who wouldn’t mind joining Kiefer Sutherland’s punk-rock group of dreamy Nosferatu).

And as is often in the case in Hollywood, the film’s near-instant popularity meant that the studio was immediately interested in a follow-up, with director Joel Schumacher even coming up with a pitch titled “The Lost Girls” meant to follow a different tribe of female vampires. Of course, we all know that this project never materialized, and fans were forever left to wonder about what a proper Lost Boys sequel might look like. Or were they?

What a lot of horror fans don’t realize is that we actually did get not...

There have been many returning players on Survivor over the years, but there are several deserving old-schoolers who have yet to get a second chance at the game. "Old-school" Survivor players are considered those who played in the early seasons of the show. Though there isn't an exact cutoff between the old and new-school game, the pre-Survivor: Gabon standard definition seasons are typically considered to be the old-school era.

Survivor has held many returnee seasons with various themes, like All-Stars, Fans vs. Favorites, Game Changers, and Winners at War. There's only been one Second Chance season, however, Survivor: Cambodia in 2015 was the only season so far to feature a fan vote to decide the cast, and the pool of returning players consisted of contestants who had only played the game once. There are still many one-time players who should get another shot.

At least he's honest, right? Pete Davidson took to The Howard Stern Show on Sept. 24 to reveal a number of intimate details about himself, including his struggles with sobriety. For those of you who are unaware: The SNL star went to rehab in 2016, but has since been on the wagon-ish — with the exception of marijuana. "It wasn't the weed," the 24-year-old revealed. "I was sober for three months at one point and was like this f-----g sucks." Pete went on to explain that smoking weed helps with both his mental and physical health issues. In 2017, the comedian was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. In addition to that, he also suffers from a chronic inflammatory bowel condition called Crohn's disease.

This is too heartbreaking. Following the untimely death of her ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, it seems that Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson have reportedly decided to postpone their wedding. "She's devastated," a source told In Touch of Ari's current condition. "She was on cloud nine planning the big day... but Mac's passing has really shaken her up," the source added. As far as how Pete's feeling? "He's fine with postponing the wedding," the source revealed. "He just wants to be there to comfort Ariana. He knows Mac's death is incredibly difficult for her."

Shortly thereafter, Ariana got engaged to SNL star Pete Davidson. The pair received a lot of backlash, especially Ariana, as many speculated there was crossover between her relationship with Mac and Pete.

Despite a disturbing outpouring of hate blaming Ariana Grande for Mac Miller's untimely death, a close friend of the rapper has finally set the record straight. Shane Powers took to his podcast on Sept. 10 in an episode titled "Shane Says Goodbye To Mac Miller" to disprove any suggestion that Ari was responsible for the 26-year-old's apparent overdose. "Ariana and him were together, and they were very much in love. And I have to say, she was incredible when he was first sobering up. She was a f-----g G to him," Shane explained. "There could not have been anybody more supportive of him being sober than Ariana." Shane went on to reveal his firsthand experience with Mac's substance abuse and Ari's struggle to tame it.

Donald Trump casually tossed the N-word into a crude conversation with golf pals, a radio host has claimed. Shane Powers, a DJ for digital broadcasting platform Dash Radio, on Sunday related the Gop nominee’s troubles since a tape leaked last week that featured Trump engaging in lewd sex talk in 2005 with former “Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush. Powers then related a story of his own, which he said he heard Friday. Powers did not identify who told him the story. “Donald Trump was on the golf course with three other guys,” Powers told listeners of “The Shane Show.” “He looked.

In its 30 seasons, Survivor has worked hard to keep things fresh.

Each season has included twists and turns, keeping contestants – and viewers – on their toes. "Sometimes, people love what we do," host Jeff Probst told People in February. "Sometimes, they just want to throw things at us."

For the show's 31st season, producers have come up with one of the show's biggest twists: letting fans of the show choose the 20 castaways who will compete.

Voting opens on Wednesday and continues for two weeks. Fans can visit Survivor's website to view personal videos from the 32 finalists – all contestants who have played the game once before,...

There's been a lot of debate as to why certain people made the cast of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. Of course, the other side of that is why certain people did not make the final cut. Why isn't Panama's Shane Powers on the Villains tribe? Or Thailand champ Brian Heidik? How can you have Heroes without Ozzy, Yul, Terry Deitz, and Mike Skupin? And did they even consider bringing back bad boy-turned-quitter Jonny Fairplay? We went straight to the source for the answers: Jeff Probst.

Honestly, I was surprised when I first learned that Tyson Apostol would be invited to come back for Heroes Vs Villains. Mainly because it was obvious Coach and J.T. would be in the cast, and three people from a mediocre season (Tocantins) seemed like a bit much. I was almost sure Tyson's spot would go to Panama's Shane Powers instead. Shows you what I know. But I get why Tyson was selected for another go round: The guy is a confessional quote machine.
