I have to give Asher Roth some credit. I did not expect very much out of a mixtape called Pabst & Jazz from the "I Love College" guy. It's possible that Asher himself was aware of the mainstream's not-so-hot expectations for his product and took care to fit as many rhymes into his 64-minute tape as possible, just to prove he could. At first, the three-rhyme-a-line style is impressive. Then it becomes repetitive, until finally, for better or worse, it starts sounding like a Mac Miller tape. There are a few times on [...]
The man who says he urged homicide investigators to look into the mysterious death of actress Natalie Wood , who drowned in 1981 while boating off the coast of California, came on TODAY Friday to talk about why. "I made some terrible decisions and mistakes," said Dennis Davern , the former captain of the Splendour , the yacht at the center of the incident. Wood had been boating with her husband, Robert Wagner and his "Brainstorm" co-star Christopher Walken , off Santa Catalina Island. "I [...]
In 2012, iconic rocker Tom Waits will go from being bad to just straight up crazy with his latest film role. Reuters reports that Waits has signed on to appear in Seven Psycophaths , alongside Hollywood A-listers Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, and Christopher Walken (Bond hottie Olga Kurylenko is also in talks to join the project). Directed by Martin McDonagh ( In Bruges ), with production from CBS Films, the film's plot deals with a struggling screenwriter (Farrell) who "inadvertently becomes entangled in the Los Angeles criminal underworld after his oddball friends (Rockwell and [...]
Pictorially revisiting Christopher Walken & Jimmy Fallon on Saturday Night Live.
What should one expect from a solo album by one of the Friedberger siblings (aka the Fiery Furnaces)? They are a band that is rarely predictable and often walks a tightrope between being totally irritating and utterly compelling. And strangely enough, when they opt to play it more or less straight, the results are not always great—take their last album, the piano-based and mostly inert I'm Going Away , for example. The group is so prolific and seems to take so much glee in [...]
The writers of Hairspray return with another film-based musical set to swingin' '60s rhythms.
Photos by G. Art by Stu Rad. Christopher Walken by Stu Rad (available at Lab Art in Los Angeles) Street artist Stu Rad is having quite a year. His art made a big splash on the streets of Los Angeles and he's transferred that success into the gallery scene.

Photo by G. Art by Stu Rad. Christopher Walken by Stu Rad Hope you enjoy this photo because a lot of people started honking their horns at me when I blocked traffic to snap this for you. Christopher Walken would have wanted it that way. <!-- [...]
I've been studying all weekend and have nothing to show for it (yet). But that's all gonna change soon because soon... yes, soon I will do so poorly on my tests that you'll be able to hear me weep from miles away. Did I say, "miles?" I meant ÜBER-miles, whatever that means. It's been almost 2 months now since my classes started, and boy are my arms tired! *rim shot - CRASH* I've enjoyed it so far, though, and have many stories to tell. Unfortunately, I cannot tell any of [...]
Kill the Irishman Ray Stevenson as the Irishman who just will not die! This mafia flick looks to be influenced more by seventies exploitation films than it is by the Godfather , Goodfellas , etc. Kill the Irishman gets bonus points in my books for the hilarious moustache that Stevenson is rocking in this film. Rio So after two films this year featured talking owls, Hollywood has moved on to macaws. Sadly pigeons continue to get the shaft. [...]
G5 Sorry for the lack of activity here this week. It's been a bit of a stressful week in CotP's southern headquarters. Dylan is… well, actually, I don't know where the hell Dylan is. He's either in New England or Central America, I'm not sure. But he'll be posting more once he's settled. 1) Christopher Walken performs Lady Gaga's "Poker Face." Walken's thing is being Walken, but it's still hilarious when used to take something out of context 2) Legendary Los Angeles and New York record store [...]

What a wicked tune Norman "Fatboy Slim" Cook crafted in the form of his 2001 futuristic funk smash "Weapon of Choice" on his third album, Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars . Based around Sly & the Family Stone's "Into My Own Thing" and sprinkled with samples of "All Strung Out Over You" by The Chambers Brothers and "Word Play" by The X-Ecutioners, the pièce de résistance was enlisting legendary Parliament/Funkadelic bassist Bootsy Collins on lead vocals on this whimsical musical rollercoaster. Founded on a relentless groove, the song — complete with a Spike Jonez directed video [...]
I wish I could find video of this somewhere, but I seem to recall a red carpet interview with Robert Downey, Jr. at last week's Oscars, where the interviewer told him there was a rumor that Ozzy Osbourne wanted Downey to play him in a movie. The reviewer asked if Downey would ever consider such [...]
If this can't make you laugh than nothing will. I've laid out my opinion on the new "We Are The World" re-make already, and one of the points I made that many agree with is that the hip-hop section was way way way out of place. It was forced and awkward, and everyone could hear [...]
I am all for a battle between Lady Gaga , Christopher Walken and Cartman for the best version of "Pokerface," but I don't feel we can really be having this discussion without including, well, this cover version/parody into the mix: Find out what clip I am talking about "after the jump"
