Older Artists: Back, Better Than Ever!
Though I conscientiously try to write this blog every single week--and believe me, diligently covering pop music's hottest new releases is no easy task--time often gets the better of me! And so it was that last week, as I traveled from exciting Los Angeles to exotic Nashville to glorious Miami, my fabled homeland, I allowed [...]

Scotty McCreery Announces "Name Change" on Conan O'Brien's Show
A recurring skit on Conan O'Brien's late-night TBS talk show is "Fan Corrections," in which viewers write in to point out Conan's egregious on-air errors.

'SYTYCD' Champ Benji Schwimmer Comes Out as Gay in Fascinating Interview
Homosexuality is relatively accepted in the dance world, and "So You Think You Can Dance" winner Benji Schwimmer certainly isn't the first alum from the show to come out (his Season 2 runner-up, Travis Wall, is out, as is Season 1 winner Nick Lazzarini and last season's runner-up, Sasha Mallory).

Gleeks, Rejoice! Meet The Season 2 'Glee Project' Cast
In a market completely crowded with singing competition shows--so much so that even "American Idol" doesn't bring in viewers like it used to, and not even Kelly Clarkson can get many people to tune in for "Duets"--"The Glee Project" is one of the few shows that actually stands out. Last year, when it made its [...]

Coldplay's 'Princess Of China' Would Have Been Perfect For Rihanna And Chris Brown
It's hard not to love Rihanna and Chris Brown's "Birthday Cake." It thrives on explosive, sexual energy.

Paul McCartney Reveals Post-Beatles Booze Struggles
Paul McCartney—boozer? The image hardly seems to fit. In the early '70s, the newly liberated ex-Beatle seemed to all the world to be "Hi Hi Hi," as one of his hits of the era put it… whether he was high on life, high on living a bucolic life in the Scottish countryside, or high on [...]
