Time to clear the air. Apparently, things are still rocky with Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth. However, they are not as bad as previously thought. Inside sources claim that the Hunger Games star was embarrassed by the VMA performance of his "Wrecking Ball" fiancee, but reports that he has responded by looking for strange with January Jones appear to be completely untrue.

Drake has revealed a little bit more of upcoming album Nothing Was The Same. Fans who pre-order the Canadian MC's new album via iTunes get a free download of "Wu-Tang Forever," an album track that runs 90s boom-bap through the perennial clouds of sadness, ex-girlfriends, alcohol and feels that I imagine constantly hangs over Drizzy's studio.

I didn't think I could possibly be more excited for Fast & Furious 7. The last installment in the long-running cars 'n' 'splosions series was so good, I left the theater and went straight to a Blockbuster (such was my commitment), rented 1-5 and marathoned through it in a night. Not even the slightest bit joking. I was going to be first in line for the next film, regardless. But now that I know Kurt Russell (aka Snake Plissken, aka R.J. MacReady, aka Copper, aka Kurt MotherF**king Russell) has been added to the cast, I may have to steal a reel as it's being shipped and screen it at my house. Read More »
FIRST DAY OUT 2! FIRST DAY OUT 2! Nah, but seriously, Chief Keef is probably going to jail (again). Keith Cozart had yet another warrant issued for his arrest in his hometown of Chicago. A judge issued the warrant after the "Love Sosa" rapper failed to appear at a child support hearing. Read More »
An Arcade Fire fan/Austin native named Ian Dille was more than a little bit upset by the guerilla marketing graffiti employed in his hometown to advertise Arcade Fire's upcoming album, Reflektor. Dille penned an op-ed for Slate's Browbeat blog wherein he took the band to task for spray-painting the side of his wife's work and got a bit of an unexpected surprise in return. Read More »
The X Factor continued to demonstrate the law of diminishing returns earlier this week when its season premiere with new judges Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio dropped off by over a third in the ratings (36%). The Simon Cowell-helmed singing competition managed a 2.1 rating among the 18-49 demo and 6.2 million viewers overall. Read More »
Kendrick Lamar's "Control" verse still manages to generate quite a bit of buzz despite being a. not very good and b. not even Kendrick's best takedown of the entire rap game (that would be Section.80's "Rigamortis." Say it with me: "He dead. Amen."). However, people are still talking about it, so it's my duty to cover it. Most recently, 50 Cent spoke about his conversation with K-Dot after the verse dropped.

New Zealand wunderkind Lorde has just released the follow-up to her smash hit "Royals." The Pure Heroine track "Team" loses the insufferable posing of the first song for a more straightforward pop track that sounds bigger, more complex and (quite frankly) more worthy of mainstream radio play.

MGMT continued their quest to be known as the biggest bunch of tryhards in the history of music with their "wackiest" performance yet. The world-famous purveyors of aimless, weird-for-the-sake-of-weird psych-pop got all gussied up in scuba gear to perform "Plenty Of Girls In The Sea" (because that's not how that saying goes and the song title mentions water. Ohhh, you rascals). Read More »
Jimmy Fallon and Co turned in what might be the most detailed spoof of Breaking Bad ever on Late Night last night. The 13-minute long parody of the critically acclaimed AMC hit called "Joking even featured Aaron Paul (He says the word!!) and a pizza-throwing Bryan Cranston. Read More »
2 Chainz has selected "Where U Been?" as the second single off BOATS II: Me Time (which comes with an absolutely incredible cookbook). The video for the "Feds Watching" follow-up features a day in the life of Tity Boi, where everyone's favorite groaner-producing MC runs the gamut of class from twerking in abandoned parking lots to driving a Bentley to catch a private jet.

Looks like Drake's the type of guy who will infringe on a jeweler's copyright. The Nothing Was The Same rapper is being sued by Baden Baden for allegedly producing knockoffs of a $50,000 owl chain made by the company specifically for the rapper. Read More »
