Given the headlines of late , it's rather obvious that there is no better time to honor Neil Young than right now. The folks behind the 2010 MusiCare's Person of the Year gala apparently thought so too. As Rolling Stone reports, on January 29th, in Los Angeles, the event will honor both Young's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame-worthy musical achievements as well as his philanthropic work, which includes leading roles in both Farm Aid and the Bridge School benefit concerts. And [...]
Filed under: Video , The Hit List Ever since 'Weird Al' Yankovic instructed the public to ' Eat It ,' music videos have been ripe for mockery. And rightly so: The line between hip and hilarious is a fine one, indeed. For comedians, the rabid pursuit of cool on constant display in music videos is easy pickings. And maybe it's because comics secretly want to be pop stars, but some of the [...]
If there's one thing I've learned most this year, or even this decade, it's the importance of family. How it can be heartbreaking to be estranged from someone, how difficult it is to reconnect, and how fortunate you can be if you've always been close.I've been so lucky to have a second dad like Bill. He took me in when I was homeless and helped support the wedding to my husband that he ultimately

Katy Perry got a new tattoo yesterday at East Side Ink in New York City. After showing off a fake " Josh Groban " tattoo on her chest (somebody tell Katy how to spell Josh's name), Katy had a little strawberry with a face inked on her ankle. I'm not too crazy about the tattoo. What is that, a Strawberry Shortcake character? I'll tell you what I do like though, those nails! Are they decals? [...]

[Why, it's Paula Abdul's birthday today. Isn't that nice ...] Today: A seriously busy weekend gets started with the seriously beautiful orchestral maneuvers of Grizzly Bear , who are joined by Here We Go Magic to play a (very) sold-out show at the Wiltern. ...

LA don't dance. That's what I came to realize last night as me and my three lovely cohorts gyrated and bounced and rocked out to the musical genius of Ben Folds. Three of us were die-hard fans to begin with, and I'm pretty sure the fourth is now a concert convert. Ben is a rocker. Don't let his physical demeanor and the fact that he sits behind a piano fool you. Actually, he hardly ever "sits" behind the piano. He spends most of the concert half standing over the bench railing on the ivories faster than my eyes distinguish. But [...]

Heartbroken Katy subsequently took a vow of celibacy and swore off men for the duration of 2009, but rumors are mounting stateside she's found love with Josh. A source told [he who [...]

[If I had time to trawl all the Hollywouldya sites, I'd clue you in on all the Grammy parties you won't see me at. As it is, read about some of them here .

Lady Sovereign has a new album on the way (Spin has a blurb and a stream of the single "So Human" here , [...]

Rufus Wainwright 's live show is not one to miss. In the past, his critically-acclaimed shows have featured fans joining him on stage, his sister, Martha , singing with him and more recently he got into the spirit of his covers of Judy Garland by dressing in heels. His shows can be quite grandiose and theatrical, but with his handful of February dates, Wainwright has a more intimate angle in mind that will overview his career in a sort of "potpourri of Wainwright." "It's very laid back and just chill," says Wainwright [...]

Arian Murati STAFF WRITER Ah, Christmas. I just love it. The presents, the cookies, the family dinners… they're all great to watch on TV in the Murati household. No decorations, no lights, no secret Santa. My friends don't get me gifts, and in return, I get them nothing as well. Christmas to me is a like a boring Sunday before an exam, and all of your friends are stuck studying when you want to party. Over the past few years, I've taken the free time and [...]
Vastik kui nii juhtub, et laulja, kelle muusika on pehmelt öeldes kahvatu, osutub väga lahedaks inimeseks. Ehk siis - Josh Groban tegi Daniel Bedingfieldi. Ja oli Never Mind the Buzzcocksi üks lahedamaid külalisi üldse. Hooaeg lõppes ilusasti : Aga bestof on muidugi veel tulekul. ( buzz ) [...]
When Billboard closes out 2008 next week by charting the year's biggest hits, you can expect several songs from late 2007 to loom large on the year-end Hot 100 . But I doubt any will surpass the song that made an unrecognizable Tom Cruise shake his groove thing this past summer. If there's any chance that something will upset Flo Rida's pop-rap smash, it'll be by another newcomer whose big hit proved tough to follow: Leona Lewis. But I wouldn't count on it. [...]
Jeffrey Luppino-Esposito EDITOR The Killers and Elton John have teamed up with Pet Shop Boy Neil Tennant, and a new Christmas song has been miraculously birthed from these remarkably dissimilar men. The result is admittedly odd, yet we here at PopSense can't say no to the opportunity of more Christmas songs to add to our shower-singing repertoire, and really anything that Elton John has put his flamboyantly fantastic hands on makes us smile. Granted, it's hard to accept that there are any other Christmas songs in existence once you have heard Josh Groban [...]
