Judging rap beefs is arguably one of the most enjoyable aspects of The Aftermath, and we have a good one to score this segment. Even though Ludacris didn't name names, he appears to be taking on Big Sean and Drake in his diss song "Bada Boom." (Download mixtape.) Soren Baker and I breakdown the feud [...]

'X Factor' Top 9 Results: Two Contestants Become a Little Less Thankful
Well, the Knights, Ogle, Orrantia, Fletcher, and Bell­­­­­­ families better pull up some more chairs to their Thanksgiving dinner tables and stick a few extra turkeys in the ovens this week.

Week Ending Nov. 20, 2011. Songs: Katy Joins The Club
Katy Perry's "The One That Got Away" jumps from #15 to #10 on the Hot 100, becoming the sixth top 10 hit from her 2010 album Teenage Dream. That's the first album in 17 years to spawn six top 10 hits. The last was Janet Jackson's "janet.," which achieved the feat in November 1994 (when [...]

Rihanna Designs Capsule Collection For Armani
Pop singer Rihanna is already the face (and body) of Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans, so why not hand the singer a sketch pad? Following her sizzling campaign for the fashion brand, Rihanna has designed a capsule collection for their more casual, ready-to-wear lines. So far the pieces look fairly benign, considering the 23-year-old [...]

X Factor, The Day After: Top 9 Show Dish
This week, "The X Factor" aired a special Thanksgiving episode, featuring the top nine contestants singing songs of thanks for the loved ones in their lives.

NBC's 'Smash' Might Finally Make Katharine McPhee a Megastar
I admit that I've never been the biggest Katharine McPhee fan. I never came down with a case of McPheever. I chose to join the Soul Patrol instead of the Kat Pack during "American Idol" Season 5. I also didn't closely follow Kat's career after "Idol"--a career that, despite her record labels' aggressive marketing efforts, [...]

Songs For Overeating
The average American gains about 1 lb. during the winter holiday season. This is caused by two things. First, most of us are less active in the winter because it's too cold for many of the outdoor activities that help us burn calories during the warmer months. Second, Thanksgiving and Christmas are both holidays where [...]

Pilgrim Songs
When Americans hear the word "pilgrim" they think of the settlers who landed at Plymouth, Massachusetts. We have an image of women in full length black dresses, and men wearing tall, black, buckled hats. Although the jury is out on how many pilgrims actually wore hats on that first Thanksgiving in 1621, there is no [...]

Kanye West Uses Nietzsche Defense in Music Theft Lawsuit
That which doesn't kill a lawsuit can only make it stronger, right? That's what Vincent Peters is hoping in his copyright infringement case against Kanye West, a previously dismissed claim which Peters is now appealing to a higher court. Alleging suspicious similarities between Kanye West's number one hit "Stronger" from 2007 and a 2006 song [...]

Jennifer Lopez Fakes Bronx Drive for Car Ad
Don't be fooled by the body doubles that she got—in those car commercials where Jennifer Lopez cruises around the Bronx, Jenny was nowhere near the blocks of her youth. "This is my world, this place inspires me," says J.Lo in the compact car ad that depicts her soaking in the urban bustle of the Bronx, [...]

Rolling Stone's Greatest Guitarists List: Who's Too High and Too Low
There's nothing like a good list to spark a little debate among music fans. Today, Rolling Stone unveiled their newest 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time list, and while there should be no complaints about who's Number One, the ranking of the other 99 can be disputed. Rolling Stone's list — which was compiled by [...]

Week Ending Nov. 20, 2011. Albums: No Sophomore Slump Here
Drake's second full-length album, Take Care, sold 631K copies last week, a handsome increase over the 447K that the hip hop star's debut album, Thank Me Later, sold in its first week in June 2010.

Nicki Minaj's 'Pink Friday' Sequel Out Valentine's Day
Rappers, like Hollywood, love sequels: Jay-Z's 'In My Lifetime' and 'The Blueprint' trilogies, Lil Wayne's diminishing 'Tha Carter' series, Raekwon's 'Only Built for Cuban Linx' duo, etc. No add Nicki Minaj to the list after she announced some new album details last night on Twitter.
