Partying with the Prince: A Very Poppycock Christmas
Sunday night, I had the thrill of attending "America's Got Talent" dandy Prince Poppycock's Holiday Hearth bash, a "private" affair (well, it wasn't that private, since it was streamed live on the Interweb) that took place at the good Prince's manor and was also attended by local artist Cassidy Haley and burlesque goddess (and VH1 [...]

The Biggest Scandals & Shockers Of 'The X Factor' Season 1
While the first U.S. season of Simon Cowell's "The X Factor" certainly had its share of amazing musical performances, often the focus this season was not on the talented contestants themselves, but on scandals, shockers, and controversies.

The Rock's Backpages Flashback: The Greatest Christmas Record of Them All
Former Move man Roy Wood was a Phil-Spector-influenced pop genius, and his band Wizzard's "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day" proved it. Pipped to the UK No. 1 post in December 1973 by Slade's markedly inferior "Merry Xmas Everybody", Wood and chums relived the making of the track for Q's Johnny Black in [...]
