  • Drake Drops Surprise New Album 'If You're Reading This It's Too Late' Featuring Lil Wayne, Travi$ Scott and More

    Drake has surprised the music world by releasing a new album on iTunes last night. The most recent representative in the surprise-album market is 'If You're Reading This It's Too Late,' a somewhat snarky title taking aim at the way in which it was released. This comes on the heels of yesterday's news that the emcee had released a 14-minute film titled 'Jungle,' which features a rather depressive Drake reflecting on his current status, plus archival footage of his life in Toronto. We can't comment as of yet if this mood carries over to the new album.

  • Nick Gordon Reportedly Taking Legal Action to Visit Bobbi Kristina Brown

    It has been nearly two weeks since Bobbi Kristina Brown was found face down in a bathtub filled with water and there still seems to be far more questions than answers about what is actually going on.

  • Ukraine and 5 Other (Band) Situations Bound to Fall Apart: The Wu-Tang Clan, The Libertines and Everything Scott Weiland

    Good news out of Eastern Europe today, as a group of the continent's leaders announced that a ceasefire had been reached between the government of Ukraine and the rebellious faction in the southeast of the country. You can probably hedge bets that shots will be fired soon enough however. After all, the last time the parties arrived at a ceasefire (September of 2014), it had collapsed by the end of the year. Other things that won't be surprising when they collapse: The reunions of these beloved bands.

  • 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Opening to Lukewarm Reviews

    Tomorrow, Feb. 13, "Fifty Shades of Grey" will open in theaters nationwide, and if the plethora of reviews rolling in are any indication, there are going to be a lot of disappointed fans. We already know that in order to snag that R rating the BDSM scenes detailed in the book were going to have to be completely watered down. That means that in order for fans to leave the theater feeling satisfied, the chemistry and connection between Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, who portray Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, better be dead on. Unfortunately, according to all the early lukewarm reviews, it is not there.
