The song and video earned major blowback over its lyrics and imagery, which some have accused of threatening violence against Black Lives Matter protesters, people burning the American flag and more.

The Kims have taken over... Kim Kardashian and Lil' Kim enjoyed a little Snapchat fun while carpooling to have dinner together at Craig's restaurant in West Hollywood on Wednesday night, putting on their own performance of Carpool Karaoke. The reality star kicks things off saying, "We're about to do Carpool Karaoke with the Kim's," which is followed by a Lil' Kim freestyle in which she raps, "If Peter Piper picked 'em, I bet you Kimmy bust 'em."

It has come to my attention that the heterosexual community is inviting itself to participate in lip-sync competitions on national television. "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" has featured spirited lip-sync battles with a number of celebrities, and they're often quite good. Quite enchanting! In fact, it's time for us to sort through Jimmy's combatants and pick out the king/queen of his lip-syncing galas. I'm exempting Jimmy since he has five times the experience of his competitors. First of all, before we begin, here is what a real lip-sync competition looks like. If you're not watching "RuPaul's Drag Race," you're really missing cutting-edge work in the lip-syncing medium: So there. Anyway: On we go to ranking the top five. 5. John Krasinski: Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream," Run Dmc's "Peter Piper," and Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love to You" Ironic that Krasinski was the one to...

Now that The Office has wrapped, John Krasinski has the freedom to do awesome things like grow a beard and participate in epic lip sync battles with Jimmy Fallon. Apparently, Krasinski had suggested it, too, so thank you. Fallon opened with Melissa Manchester's "Don't Cry Out Loud," which John upped with Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream." Then followed Fallon's Das Efx's "They Want Efx" matched against John's cover of "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers," and for the ultimate showdown, Jimmy on "Over the Rainbow," and John down on bended knee with Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love to You." Catch all the jacket-stripping, ear piece-grabbing, in-your-face-swaggering affectations of the lip sync battle straight ahead.
