    Forbes released its annual Celebrity 100 list this week, a feature that ranks celebrities of all stripes—music, film, sports—by how socially active they are and how much they bring in.

  • Izod Center—Longtime New Jersey Staple of Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi and More—to Close in March

    It's almost a story out of a Bruce Springsteen song: All the jobs are going elsewhere and the town begins to die. The "town" in this case is the Izod Center at the Meadowlands complex in East Rutherford, one of The Boss's favorite concert joints in his home state. A rash of competition in the region, from the Newark Prudential Center to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, have begun swallowing up both music and sports events. Now Governor Chris Christie is pushing a plan to close the arena in March.

  • Highest Paid Musicians 2014: Dr. Dre Tops The List (Duh) but Beyoncé, One Direction and Justin Bieber Make Bank as Well

  • Jon Bon Jovi Re-Watches 'Runaway' Video, Calls it 'Absolutely Awful'

    The video for Bon Jovi's "Runaway" is one of the dumbest things ever created. Just ask the man himself. "It's absolutely awful," Bon Jovi recently told "Billboard." "We had no input as to what it would be about or who would be in it. They had people give us clothes to wear; we were just dumbfounded. Fortunately, the song had some roots, so we were saved."
