Our now greatest British export, M.I.A, last night "stuck it" to America during Madonna's apparently budget-free half-time show. Alongside Nicki Minaj, 152 million adorning American sports fans tuned in to witness the outrage, it's thought generating mass drunken fury across the country. Controversy travels quickly, with almost all national publications and blogs reporting the offense. The NFL were quick to issue an apology: "The obscene gesture in the performance was completely inappropriate, very disappointing, and we apologise to our fans." [...]

La vittoria di Madonna con " Masterpiece " ai Golden Globes non è andata giù ad Elton John . I colleghi di Gossipblog avevano raccontato della reazione del cantante quando è stato annunciato il vincitore e, a distanza di giorni, l'uomo non pare voler rinunciare a qualche frecciatina nei confronti di Madonna.

Bon Iver is this week's musical guest on Saturday Night Live . 2011 turned out to be quite a year for Justin Vernon. Besides his eponymous sophomore release under the moniker Bon Iver being a critical success and debuting at #2 on the Billboard Charts, Bon Iver's also since been nominated for four Grammys ( even if the awards show is a waste of time ) and has been given his own imprint (Chigliak) on Jagjaguwar to release records [...]

There were few greater things in childhood than popcorn. Popcorn was a foodstuff that you ate at the movies or a basketball game. Pretzels, potato chips and their ilk might be in the pantry at home, but popcorn was not such a common nosh. Popcorn was an event. I was likely munching on popcorn as King Kong ascended to the top of the Twin Towers and, later that same winter, when Rocky almost upset Apollo Creed for the heavyweight title. Popcorn meant spectacle. Of course, there [...]

Until recently, we've had a mild winter in the Midwest. There's been very few days where temperatures fell below freezing and it was the first time in years when there wasn't snow on the ground during Christmas. It was a challenge not to buy Kate Bush's new album 50 Words For Snow when it was released last November, but I had to wait. I knew that someone would probably place it under the Christmas tree as a gift for me, as it's well known around these parts that my love for all [...]

News that Lil Wayne and some MTV VJs from the 80s all have book deals inspired me to check out what else was on the way. Quite a number of interesting books by and about famous musicians are coming out in the first half of 2012. For me, Gil Scott-Heron's memoirs are a must read and I look forward to Lil Wayne's prison tales. I'm also curious about Johnny Ramone's autobiography, written while he knew was dying. What are you looking forward to reading and what have I missed? Let us know in the comments. [...]

Did You Hear? :: Remember those nasty things Elton John said about Madonna's chance of winning a Golden Globe? The rock legend's husband, David Furnish, took to Twitter to rationalize the remark: "My passion for our film Gnomeo & Juliet and belief in Elton's song really got my emotional juices going." Oh, so all's forgiven then? Doubt it. [ Vulture ] :: Katy Perry is the latest artist to get her own Pop Up Video. Of the fun facts we learned about "Teenage Dream" : Katy's parents were on set [...]
