When Take That broke up back in 1996, Robbie Williams was considered the least likely to be successful, though within a year he eclipsed his bandmates (most notably Gary Barlow) and shot to superstardom. Fast forward to 2006, however, and Robbie Williams is seen as having fizzled out, while Take That’s reunion without him proves startlingly successful. Now, in 2009, here comes Williams’ long awaited new album, touted as a comeback by fans (despite the fact that he says, “Don... Read Full Story

I wasn’t sure it was possible, but there’s someone I hate more than Carrie Prejean–it’s her mom, Francine. Billy Bush interviews the elder Prejean on his show where she calls Larry King a little wimp for being put in his place by her 22 year old daughter. Put in his place– of course– refers to when the beauty queen made headlines by refusing to answer Larry’s questions about why she chose to settle her lawsuit with the Miss America pageant. Donning an... Read Full Story

Take one part Oprah, one part Tyler Perry, and one giant part Mo’Nique, and you’ve got Lee Daniels’ Precious– and it will tear you apart. I’m not a huge girly girl, but I was bawling ten minutes into the film. Precious isn’t just sad, it’s downright abysmal. For those of you out there who have no idea what I’m talking about, Precious is a film based on the novel Push by Sapphire, a former Harlem public school teacher-cum-novelist. It is a ficti...

The amazing new album Waking Up, by OneRepublic comes out today, and I thought it would be fun to get one lucky winner in on the action. I have at my command a SIGNED album copy and SIGNED poster from the band. Again, there’s only going to be one winner, so you’ve gotta convince me why you are the winner of this lovely package. The songs Everybody Loves Me, and All the Right Moves alone are worth the album buy. Speaking of that, you can cop the album off iTunes right now! Here... Read Full Story

Reformed Muslim albino MC? That’s the last thing you expect when you listen to Brother Ali’s mesmerizing, almost smoky flow, but that’s exactly who’s spitting it – and on Us (his latest opus) he is damn near in top form. Backing him up on his third full length release (as he has for the previous two, as well as an EP) is Ant, a producer best known for his work with the alternative hip hop duo Atmosphere. It’s safe to say that he is performing even better th... Read Full Story

The vultures have landed. After the past few months of really weird and frustrating promotion (“here’s a few seconds of a song, but THAT’S IT! Bwahaha”), Them Crooked Vultures’ debut album is here. TCV, if you weren’t aware somehow, is Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age on vocals and guitar, Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters/Nirvana/general badassery smashing the shit out of the drums, and John Paul Jones from an up and coming band called Led Zeppelin slapping the bass and adding Doors-esque key...

Historians will tell you that Thanksgiving began when a group of travelers from England met up with a group of Indians and decided to have a meal. Actually, I doubt any historian would say it in those exact words, but that would be the gist of their story. The Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast, which was a common tradition among many Native Americans. The point of this was to show a spirit of friendship and cooperation between the two groups. You’ve a... Read Full Story

Let me first say that any band that wears a shirt talking shit about Limp Bizkit is a friend of mine. That being said, I’m proud to announce my latest giveaway. When I first saw the ridiculous amount of energy this group of white rappers bring to the table, it made for one of the most entertaining sets I’ve seen all year. They’ve been tearing the charts up, staying on the Billboard charts for over a year with their first release, Swan Songs, and won’t be stopping any ... Read Full Story
