Lana Del Rey has occasionally been seen hyping her so-called "farewell film" Tropico.

Two traditions were kept alive on late-night television last night: Janelle Monae continued to put on killer perfomances supporting The Electric Lady and Arsenio's musical guest slot continued to be the best part of the show (this isn't an insult, his performers have just been on fire since the reboot).

Eminem's latest release, the Marshall Mathers LP 2 is receiving mostly rave reviews that seem to be almost compulsory. The reviews proclaim that the album is incredible in one sentence and then mention how the entire 79-minute run time is devoid of emotion or any resonance in th next.
