via MTV Not so fast. After Beanie Sigel and 50 Cent sat down for a joint interview with Philadelphia radio station Power 99 earlier this week, the streets thought Sigs signing with G-Unit was already a done deal. According to 50, they did talk about it, but still have a long way to go. “I had a [...]

Misguided attempt to beat all those Postal Service comparisons via the power of merch (Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello didn’t even have their own official infant-appropriate onesie !), or another sign that our once-great nation is retreating into a state where it’s constantly in need of comfort, whether through soothing blips or pajamas that have feet attached? I have no idea, but I do...
We think we are going to XOXO this! We've heard very little of Lady GaGa's much-anticipated appearance on the desperate for some serious ratings Gossip Girl. The cast has only confirmed that she will be appearing and eluded that it will be something pretty spectacular. Now, we've got some more deets and they come from the lovely [...]
Nationwide, Juggalos are already boycotting in parking lots, in addition to breeding. Eminem, the 37-year-old adolescent rapper, will follow up his $116 million grossing fictionalized biopic, 8 Mile, from 2002 with a 3D anthology horror movie horrifically entitled Shady Talez. The project has kicked around for a while, and is now part of a synergy package that includes a same-named four-issue comic...
An REO Speedwagon game. Mull that sentence over for a while, and your mind darts between reactions. Namely, from amused, to confused, to bewildered, then back to amused, via a short stop-over utter...
Not really understanding the lyrics you're singing is apparently another thing that falls under the rubric of "just bein' Miley." An interview with Billy Ray Cyrus' spawn reveals that the lyric in her Velveeta-and-Miracle-Whip single "Party In The USA" about hearing a Jay-Z song while in a taxicab is, shockingly, not based on real events. Someone else wrote that lyric, and she...
In the US, if you really want to "protect" your copyrighted works, you have to register the works. Unlike for a patent or a trademark, it's pretty much a rubberstamp process. Every so often the Copyright Office will reject a registration, but it's rare. It does still go through them all, though. Or at least it's supposed to. However, we recently wrote about the weird case of the site Bluebeat.com...
The multi-platinum rock band No Doubt has filed a lawsuit against Activision in a L.A. County Superior Court claiming its likeness was "transformed" into a "virtual karaoke circus act" in over sixty songs in the recently released music title, Band Hero . According to TMZ , No Doubt claims gamers were only supposed to be able to use their likeness with three of its own tracks; however,...
It's casting notes time again! First up, Michael Fassbender, the British film critic lieutenant from Inglourious Basterds, has been cast in the thriller A Single Shot, working under director David Jacobson. He's appearing alongside a great cast: William H. Macy, Thomas Haden Church and a newly slim Forest Whitaker. (Seriously, check out this pic of Whitaker in The Experiment. Give the guy a sandwich!)...
Rebecca Dart works in the animation industry designing locations and backgrounds, but there are some lovely things happening (including this comic/ballad, completed here:) on her LiveJournal(NSFW). I’m really digging her lady barbarian (barbarienne?) drawings but they are topless/short of clothes, so you may want to see more later. Regardless, she’s got an awesome knack for [...]

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys couldn’t contain their enthusiasm for New York to one song, so the pair have decided to team up again for a sequel to their hometown anthem. Keys will include “Empire State of Mind Part 2″ on December’s The Element of Freedom. The sequel will feature a new verse from Jay, a [...]
Giles Turnbull convened a kiddie focus group and asked them what they call all the different Lego pieces . Every family, it seems, has its own set of words for describing particular Lego pieces. No one uses the official names. "Dad, please could you pass me that Brick 2x2?" No. In our house, it'll always be: "Dad, please could you pass me that four-er?" Don't miss the chart at the...
