I’ve known for the last sixteen years of my life that one day I would read the news and the headline would be that David Bowie had died, and I wondered what would happen next. Now I know. David Bowie died peacefully last night, January 10, 2015, after battling cancer for a year and a half. […]
Here is Miley Cyrus, dressed as an adult baby, bitching about hooking up with a guy who won’t stop baby-talking. Here is Miley Cyrus, wearing a bonnet and sucking on a pacifier. Here is Miley Cyrus, crawling around on her hands and knees, wearing a diaper. Here is Miley Cyrus throwing a temper tantrum, begging a guy […]
If you’re like me, still singing “A Whole New World” into your hairbrush while you twirl around your room like a seven-year-old, hold on to your magic carpets, because this is freakin’ amazing. Lea Salonga, the Broadway legend who was Princess Jasmine’s singing voice in the Disney classic “Aladdin” 22 years ago, teamed up with Il […]
“It’s commentary, like, ‘I know what you think of me,’ and I’m alluding to that. You know, I have slept with a lot of guys in the industry, but none of them helped me get my record deals.

Witness this blog, “Bass Dog,” which replaces the bass guitars being played by well-known musicians with dogs. It’s that simple and that wonderful. Here, we have Scott Shriner from Weezer bass doggin’ […]
On last night’s episode of “The Voice,” Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton opened the show with a staggeringly beautiful acoustic version of “Over You.” The couple, who live in Oklahoma, originally wrote the song to honor Shelton’s brother who passed away in 1990, but retooled it slightly to pay tribute to the victim’s of this week’s […]
Confession: Last night, I read the New York magazine piece, “I Just Want to Feel Everything’: Hiding Out With Fiona Apple Musical Hermit,” not once, but three times.
