We doubt it's a coincidence that a photo of Rihanna appears next to the caption "What Men Crave In July" on the cover of the July issue of Cosmopolitan . There will be no cooling off with this touring hottie during the scorching summer months. The mag also promises: "She finally reveals her deepest feelings" (what, Cosmo doesn't follow the blunt diva on Twitter?), though we'd be equally satisfied with a fluff piece on what it's like to have a pillow fight with Britney Spears. Take a gander at the cover [...]

It's easy to toss around the line "music can save the world" and have it come off sounding pretty empty. Perhaps because what is missing from that statement is the action coupled with, or inspired by, the music, to witness actual change. The Red Hot organization is doing a beautiful job taking action, and utilizing incredible compilations to raise money for the awareness and fight against AIDS. Dark Was The Night , was a huge success, and Red Hot + Rio 2 (out June 28th) looks equally as interesting. The compilation finds artists such as Beck, Seu [...]

While Devendorf told Spinner that The National is currently thinking about covering Box [...]
