Iconic 2000s Rocker, 50, Has Fans Saying the Same Thing in Unexpected Video
The 50-year-old musician took to TikTok this week to share a clip of himself performing an impromptu rap called "Cars Are Like People" with a little help from girlfriend Desiree Mishoe.
"Cars are like humans cause they go rusty and then they stop working just like humans do," Hawkins began, as a beat played in the background.
"When cars are rusty and they're in a pile...in the scrap yard, then it makes me do the opposite of smile, cause I think about all the times I might just die when I'm getting older, and I get rusty like a car that's in a scrap yard," Hawkins continued, as Mishoe laughed and danced along.
Fans in the comments were definitely amused.
"He's a rapper guys," joked one person, with a second quipping, "Love that the darkness are going in a new direction."
"The undisputed king of rap," declared someone else, as another agreed, "He should start a rap career."
While Hawkins probably won't be releasing a hip-hop album anytime soon, he did open up about evolving as a musician in a recent interview with Kerrang!.
"It's about getting to a certain age and realizing that the world's changing, and you've gotta change or that's you f-ked, you get left behind," he said, adding, "And that's rock. It's actually from the perspective of rock - rock is a middle-aged guy in a world full of people who are just generation…whatever the f-k it is now, and it has to wake up and be part of it."

Radiohead's Grammy-Winning Masterpiece Soars To A NeW All-Time High
For weeks now, Radiohead's 'Let Down' has been rising on charts globally. The tune is one of the rare surprise smashes that comes out of nowhere, as people on social media platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) have turned the track into a hit long after it was originally released – and many are discovering it for the first time. Thanks to the way charts are constructed these days, a huge increase in streams or sales of one track featured on an album can benefit the parent project — and that's exactly what's happening with OK Computer. That beloved set is on the rise in America once again, decades after it initially helped establish Radiohead as one of the most progressive and interesting groups in alternative rock. 'Let Down' Climbs Globally 'Let Down' appears on half a dozen Billboard charts, four of which are focused entirely on American consumption. While the track — never pushed as a single — dips on several rock and alternative lists, it does manage to climb worldwide. 'Let Down' reaches new peaks on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S., surging to Nos. 155 and 186, respectively. OK Computer Hits a New Alternative Peak All the attention being paid to 'Let Down' is aiding OK Computer, specifically in the United States. The full-length climbs on a trio of tallies and even manages to hit a new all-time peak on the Top Alternative Albums chart, which details the most consumed alternative projects in the U.S. The band's early career release jumps from No. 21 to No. 17 in its eleventh frame on that list. Radiohead's Decades-Late Debut OK Computer only debuted on the Top Alternative Albums ranking in May of this year, thanks to the sudden popularity of 'Let Down.' The Top Alternative Albums chart didn't exist when the full-length was new, so it took a very special set of circumstances to send it to this list. Even as it climbs to a never-before-seen high, OK Computer stands as the second-lowest-peaking of the band's nine appearances on the alternative-only roster. Only The Best Of (2 CD Limited Edition), which stalled at No. 22, has managed a lower high point. Radiohead's Gains on the Rock Charts OK Computer is also growing on two other rankings, though it doesn't reach peak positions on either of them. The set jumps two spaces on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, settling at No. 38 — one spot below its all-time peak of No. 37. On the Billboard 200, where it originally rose to No. 21, OK Computer surges 10 spots to No. 145. Luminate reports that the set, originally released in 1997, moved another 10,300 equivalent copies in the past tracking period, which is up a little more than 2.5% from the frame before. OK Computer's Ongoing Cultural Impact Upon its release in June 1997, OK Computer marked a turning point for Radiohead, shifting its sound from guitar-driven Britpop toward more experimental, atmospheric sounds. The title became a critical triumph, earning the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album. Widely regarded as one of the most influential albums of the 1990s, its helped show what could become commercially successful, and its influence on countless bands that came after it dropped is hard to state.

How the Shark FlexStyle has me skipping those trendy $25 blowouts: My review
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. If there's one thing I know inside and out, it's beauty tools. My bathroom counter has seen more blow dryers, straighteners, diffusers, and curling gadgets than a salon during prom season. From $20 drugstore dryers to high-end unicorns that cost more than rent (hi, Dyson), I've tested them all. So, when I got my hands on the Shark FlexStyle air styling and drying system, I knew it was time to put this internet-famous multitasker to the ultimate test. Could it be the real deal, or just another overhyped beauty gizmo with a cute name and big promises? Now, before you ask: Yes, I've read all the Shark FlexStyle reviews. Yes, I've watched the TikToks. And yes, I've even written a full review comparing the Shark Flexstyle versus the Dyson Airwrap. That's why I'm going to get real about the Shark FlexStyle and if it's worth the investment — right now, right here. Advertisement Let's talk about the $25 blowout trend that's been all over TikTok. You know, the one where everyone's skipping Starbucks for a week just to get a professional-style blowout that somehow looks effortless and costs less than a mani. It's cute, it's fun, it's addictive — but if you're booking weekly appointments, that math adds up fast. That's where the Shark FlexStyle comes in to save your hair and your wallet. With the right Shark FlexStyle attachments (hello, oval brush and concentrator nozzle), you can recreate that salon-finish look right at home, minus the awkward small talk and the tip math. It gives you the bouncy, glossy, 'I have my life together' vibe of a professional blowout without having to leave your house or put on real pants. Honestly? The FlexStyle might just be the most economical beauty hack of the year. I tested the Shark FlexStyle diffuser on my natural wavy curls (hello, volume!), tried every attachment like my life depended on it, and even looked up how to clean the Shark FlexStyle so it doesn't turn into a lint graveyard. And don't worry, I'll spill everything you need to know, from pros and cons to tips for getting the best results, and yes, even if it qualifies as a true Shark FlexStyle dupe for the Dyson. So grab a coffee (or maybe your deep conditioner) and settle in. I'm about to give you the full scoop on the Shark FlexStyle. What makes the Shark Flexstyle different? First things first: this isn't just a Shark FlexStyle hair dryer. It's a full-blown transformation station for your hair. Think: blow dryer meets curling wand meets round brush meets diffuser…and then they all go to therapy and get along. Amazon Pros: Significantly more affordable than the Dyson Airwrap Comparable styling versatility to the Dyson Airwrap Lighter and easier to maneuver than the Dyson Airwrap Cons: Louder, with a high-pitched noise, compared to the Dyson Airwrap, though not a dealbreaker Not as powerful heat retention and speed settings, yet yields an extremely similar result The Shark FlexStyle attachments are designed to tackle everything from flat roots to frizzy curls to that one stubborn section that never wants to cooperate. Whether you're going full glam or just trying to fake a good hair day before a Zoom call, this little tool comes locked and loaded. And can we talk about the packaging for a sec? The Shark FlexStyle case is chic, functional and not just something I immediately throw under the sink. It's giving luxury, without the guilt. Plus, I snagged mine during an Amazon sale, which made unboxing it feel even sweeter. Because let's be honest: no one hates a deal, especially when you're getting salon-worthy results at a fraction of the price of that other Brand. Attachments: 2 Auto-Wrap Curlers (left and right), 1 Curl-Defining Diffuser, 1 Styling Concentrator (rotatable), 1 Oval Brush, 1 Paddle Brush, Storage/Carry Case | Wattage: 1,300 watts | Number of Settings: 3 adjustable levels | Cool Shot Button: Yes My Review Before and after using the Shark FlexStyle. Victoria Giardina When I first got my hands on the Shark FlexStyle, I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I do. I originally bought it as a more affordable alternative to the Dyson Airwrap, which I'd been using but, truthfully, wanted to compare both in a final verdict showdown. Shark's version is still an investment, don't get me wrong, but it comes in at almost half the cost of Dyson's and — surprisingly — doesn't feel like a compromise. From unboxing to the first styling session, it felt sleek, intuitive and powerful without being overwhelming. One of the things I really appreciate is the design. It's got a smart twist feature that lets you go from a traditional hair dryer to a styling wand with just a click. That flexibility (hence the name 'FlexStyle') means you can switch between drying and styling without juggling multiple tools. It's lightweight (around 1.5 pounds) and the controls are simple: three heat settings, three airflow settings and a cool shot. I also like that it doesn't get so hot that it fries your hair, which was a problem I had with older hair tools. Let's talk attachments because that's where the FlexStyle really shines. Mine came with five: two auto-wrap curlers (one for each direction), a paddle brush, an oval brush and a concentrator nozzle. If you have curly or coily hair, there's also a diffuser option in other bundles. The curlers are super similar to Dyson's; they use that same Coanda effect to attract and wrap hair around the barrel without clamping or burning. And they work well, especially on slightly damp hair. I found the paddle brush great for smoothing, and the oval brush gives some legit volume at the roots, kind of like a blowout. Now, how does it compare to the Dyson Airwrap? I've used both, and while the Dyson might win slightly on luxury feel and airflow smoothness, the Shark FlexStyle holds its own. The curls lasted just as long for me with both tools, and Shark even lets you manually change curl direction with two barrels — something Dyson didn't do until its newer model. Also, the Shark has more customizable bundles, so you can choose what fits your hair type instead of buying extra attachments you'll never use. Where I really noticed the difference was in the drying speed. The Shark is powerful and dries hair fast without getting too hot. If your hair is thick or takes ages to dry, you'll appreciate that. And even though it's powerful, it doesn't feel like a jet engine blasting your face, which is a plus. I also noticed my hair had noticeably less frizz and felt smoother after using the Shark, especially with the paddle brush. How to Clean the Shark FlexStyle With so many household chores, cleaning your hair tools may be the last item on your radar. However, it's part of maintenance (and good for your hair), and I find it incredibly easy to care for. To clean my Shark FlexStyle, I always start by unplugging it and letting it cool down completely. Safety first. Once it's cool, I detach all the attachments — whether I've used the styling concentrator, diffuser or round brush. I wipe down each piece with a soft, damp cloth to remove any product buildup or dust. If there's hair caught in the bristles of the brushes, I carefully pull it out using my fingers or a small comb. For the main body of the device, I use a dry microfiber cloth to gently clean the surface, making sure not to get any moisture near the electrical components. One thing I never forget is checking the filter. At the base of the handle, there's a filter cover that easily twists off. I remove it and gently tap out any lint or dust, then use a soft brush (sometimes even an old toothbrush) to clean the filter mesh. If it's really dirty, I'll rinse it with cool water and let it dry completely before putting it back. Once everything's clean and dry, I reassemble the device and store it in a safe, dry place. Keeping it clean not only makes it last longer, but it also helps maintain airflow and styling performance. The Final Verdict As someone with Goldilocks-level hair that's not too fine, nor too thick, the FlexStyle has become my go-to tool. But I've seen friends with thick, curly hair use it with the diffuser and paddle brush and get great results too. It's especially great if you want salon-style looks at home without spending a fortune or exposing your hair to extreme heat. Plus, for travelers, it's compact enough to throw in a carry-on, which I totally did on my last trip. Overall, I'd recommend the Shark FlexStyle to anyone who wants a versatile, high-performing hair tool without the Dyson price tag. It's not just a lookalike; it's a solid contender in its own right. Curling, smoothing, volumizing — it shows up, and shows up well. Even if I just need a fast, gentle blow-dry, this little multitasker really delivers. Honestly, I reach for it almost every time I do my hair now, and my old flat iron and curling wand are officially collecting dust.

We tried the viral Gruns gummies: Here's what Bethenny Frankel got right about them
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. Remember those neon, sugar-packed gummies from your childhood? The ones that tasted more like candy than vitamins, that you had to beg your parents to buy every time they took you grocery shopping. Well, we may have found the grown-up version, minus the dyes, outrageously high sugar counts, and unpronounceable ingredients. Gruns gummies are TikTok's latest wellness obsession, instantly recognizable by their rich green hue and nostalgic bear shape. They're easy to take anywhere, surprisingly tasty, and, according to Bethenny Frankel and thousands of online fans, 'excellent for your digestion.' Yes, you should expect to pay the premium for Gruns (honestly, we're surprised we haven't seen these gummies pop up at a ritzy Erewhon store yet). But if you order a pack of Gruns on Amazon, you can snag them for around 10% off. The formula stacks up: Gruns combines 60 potent ingredients backed by 35,000 research publications — that includes organic kale, parsley, wheatgrass, spirulina, pomegranate, shiitake mushroom powder, and more fruits and veggies you probably wouldn't bother buying at the store. Instead of cramming it all in a single gummy, nutrients are spread out through the packet, perfect for those with pill fatigue. 'I don't like taking pills. The only ones I'll take are for my hair, and I have to muster it up…' shared former 'Real Housewives of New York City' star, Bethenny Frankel. 'They (Gruns) taste slightly sweet, but in a manageable way. It's not candy, it's not covered in sugar, but it's kind of a little treat.' Frankel isn't the only celeb fan. A growing roster of high-profile names, including Joe Burrow, Shaun White, and Anna Kendrick, has backed the vitamin brand as investors. With new formulas rolling out and a hit sugar-free version already on the market, it seems that this is just the beginning for Gruns. Considering all the buzz around these bite-sized bears, we had to see if Gruns are really worth it (the $66, to be exact). Find our Gruns review below, and browse more of our favorite greens supplements while you're at it. Gruns Pros: Gruns gummies are regularly third-party tested with Eurofins Good amount of fiber to support healthy, regular digestion Packs are very small, light, and easy to open — very easy to take on the go Each gummy delivers 100% of your daily needs for key vitamins Cons: While many users like the fruity flavor profile, others mentioned a somewhat earthy aftertaste Gruns aren't just 'healthier' gummy bears. These sugar-free gummies are formulated to fill your health gaps with whole fruits, veggies, vitamins, prebiotics, adaptogens, and more essential nutrients. They're third-party-tested, clinically backed, and supported by thousands of reviews. A post-purchase survey revealed that 52% of Gruns users felt more energized throughout the day, and over 67% reported their overall health and well-being had improved since starting these gummies. Frank Massaro New York Post Review: The Post Wanted team's been passing these gummies around, and let's just say, they're now living rent-free on a few of our desks. They're mildly sweet, slightly earthy, and super soft to chew. Zero bizarre chemical smell. Sure, there's still a slight veggie aftertaste, but it's minimal enough that the amount of vitamins you're getting in every bite makes up for it. The packaging is another win: slim, sleek, and perfect for tossing in your work bag or slipping into a pocket on your way out the door. A few of us have even noticed they help curb sugar cravings, especially when the vending machine starts calling during a mid-day crash. And, on the digestion front, Bethenny wasn't kidding. These gummies get your gut into a good groove — expect improved regularity.
