It took me almost a year to finally see Bridesmaids , the Kristen Wiig comedy that was hailed hyperbolically as a feminist filmic milestone because it offered a counterpoint to all the Apatow straight-man-bonding/buddy vibes that were foisted upon us for the latter half of the aughties. I was kinda like, why do I need a counterpoint to that garbanzo? I'm good. And also I don't find Wiig particularly funny as a comedian - her Saturday Night Live bits rely on the kind of facial contortion and vocal distortion that I despise in Jim Carrey, cheap physical [...]

Wilson Phillips are back with Dedicated, a tribute to The Mamas & Papas and The Beach Boys. Despite my fondness for all three bands (Wilson Phillips' self-titled debut is tied to many a childhood memory), I expected this to be a disappointing, overtly sentimental album. Yet this homage to their respective parents - Beach Boy [...]

I try to avoid fast food at all costs, but I do have one serious weakness: Chick-fil-A.

This might be one of those unintended consequences of the Bridesmaids movie--a new album and tour from Wilson Phillips . We're completely serious here! The band are planning a new album (a tribute to their famous parents in The Beach Boys and The Mamas and The Papas ) entitled Dedicated on April 3. It'll only get stranger when the band hit the road later this month. (Does this mean that Carnie Wilson will get a new talk show? We hope so!) Wilson Phillips tour dates: [...]

After watching the movie Bridesmaids, our memories were ignited towards the short-lived career of Wilson Phillips. So much so that we took the time to research the band's biography and their solo careers. It looks like the trio are coming back with a new album real soon. But this track is one from our childhood. It didn't quite make it big, but it was a fun tune to sing along to with high-octane drama. Chynna, who allegedly is the trouble maker of the group, tried her hand at a solo career but failed. She is the daughter of The Mamas [...]

Few things get me more excited than a track by Sleigh Bells . When Treats came out in 2010, I was blown away by the depth of sound I was experiencing. Sleigh Bells is for people that listen to Suicidal Tendencies , but also love the subtle qualities of Wilson Phillips . In fact, Sleigh Bells is more or less the love child of thrash metal, and early 90s power pop. I love speed metal drums. I love heavily amped and distorted guitars. I love how Alexis Krauss has absolutely, positively no respect for modern [...]

It's Monday, so it's time to offer up some new music again. This time, it's a band called RDGLDGRN , which I'm assuming means "Red Gold Green" - I think. (Although, since I'm colorblind, it's more like "Gray, A Different Gray and oooh - GRAY!") Download: RDGLDGRN - I Love Lamp Their single is called "I Love Lamp", and it's a pop-rock ballad mixed with some light hip hop. It's the twisted three-way lovechild of Edward Sharpe, The Strokes and and every tragic 90s hip pop [...]

Filed under: The Hit List Let's say your mother or father ia famous singer, songwriter or producer, and you want to be famous, too. In theory, you could use that parent's connections to score a record deal, but you want to do this without any parental advantage. Here's the thing, though: You can't help but have an advantage because it's in the genes. And now that Michael Jackson 's 11-year old daughter Paris reportedly want to become a singer, she could do worse than to follow the the careers [...]

Singer Chynna Phillips has checked out of the facility where she was being treated for anxiety, her manager has revealed. Manager Lizzie Grubman told People.com: "After successfully completing her in-patient treatment for anxiety, Chynna Phillips has happily returned home to celebrate her daughter's birthday with her family and close friends." Phillips is the half-sister of Mackenzie Phillips, whose bomsbshell claims last year about a sexual relationship with their father put the family into crisis. While Chynna was shaken by those claims, a source revealed at the time that her decision to seek treatment was [...]

Chynna Phillips, Mackenzie Phillips' half sister, is speaking out about those details that her sibling discussed in an interview with Oprah and are also detailed in her book 'High on Arrival'. The Wilson Phillips member reveals that in 1997, she received a phone call from Mackenzie while she was in between flights at LaGuardia Airport. Chynna said "She said, 'I don't know why, but I just really felt the need to call you and tell you something that I think you need to know. And she went on to tell me that she had had an incestuous relationship with our [...]
