• Australian Music Festival Fails: 5 Events Suffering Bad Luck and Bad Organization in Memory of Sunbury

    Australia is one of the toughest places to stage a music festival due to its relative isolation from the rest of the world. There's plenty of fans to provide funding for a limited number of events but it's still tough to draw (and pay) huge acts for traveling so far for what's most likely to be just on appearance (versus a longer tour scenario, where headliners such as Katy Perry can make oodles of cash). Here are five festivals that have undergone downsizing down under recently.

  • Mark Kozelek 'Halfway' Through New Sun Kil Moon Album, Predicts Fall 2015 Release

    Mark Kozelek -- aka Sun Kil Moon -- had one of the busiest years of anybody in 2014, and he is already planning on giving fans a new album in 2015. In between pot shots at The War on Drugs, Kozelek promoted his critically acclaimed "Benji" -- released last February -- and began writing material for a new LP, which he predicts will have a fall 2015 release. "Luckily, I'm working on a new album now and hopefully that could be out by fall," Kozelek recently told "The Omaha World-Herald," via Stereogum, adding that he is "halfway" finished with it.

  • Simon Cowell's DJ Competition Show Will Premiere on Yahoo

    Simon Cowell's DJ competition reality show appears to have a home. It will premiere on Yahoo's online streaming platform Yahoo Screen, which made a large jump into the music sphere with an announced partnership with Live Nation to stream a concert a day live via the platform.

  • Gigi Hadid Opens Up About Her Mom Yolanda Foster's Illness, Talks Body Image in Modeling World

    Ever since signing with IMG Models in 2011, Gigi Hadid's career has been on the rise. She has been the face of numerous modeling campaigns, like Guess, often bunks with Kendall Jenner and has already graced the pages of "Sports Illustrated." That is quite a résumé for a 19-year-old, but life is not exactly perfect. Her mother, "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills's" Yolanda Foster, has been fighting an uphill battle with Lyme disease for the last three years and a recent relapse sent the family into crisis mode. Hadid opens up about her mom's illness and also talks about body image in the modeling world.

  • The NFL Pro Bowl Is Trash, But Here's a Preview Anyway

    The NFL Pro Bowl is easily the country's worst all-star game among the country's four major sports. Players do not want to play it and coaches do not want to coach it, according to NBC Sports. Despite this, fans still watch this trash for some reason, so here is a preview anyway.

  • Kirk Hammett Books 3 Rock Superstars for 'Fear FestEvil' and None of Them Are From Metallica

    Metallica's Orion Fest may not have succeeded on a financial level enough to justify future versions, but guitarist Kirk Hammett and his "Kirk von Hammet''s Fear FestEvil" will have a second run in San Jose during April. The thrash icon and horror movie enthusiast has announced a lineup for the three-day event, although the characters he's booked for a panel may be even more exciting than the confirmed musicians: Slipknot's Corey Taylor, Rob Zombie guitarist John 5 and Slash will all appear in speaking roles.

  • New England Patriots' #DeflateGate Gets Burned by Bill Nye and 'Saturday Night Live'

    The New England Patriots have seen their fair share of controversy over the years, but nothing has ever affected their Super Bowl preparation like #DeflateGate. The purported scandal has taken over sports news ever since the Pats were accused of purposely deflating footballs during the AFC Championship Game last Sunday, Jan. 18. So on Saturday, Jan. 24, Bill Nye and "Saturday Night Live" burned the team.

  • Is Kim Kardashian Jealous of Kendall Jenner's Modeling Success?

    Kim Kardashian is really struggling with the fact that her younger sister Kendall Jenner has really secured a spot in the world of high fashion modeling. As the Kardashian family was rising to fame in the reality television realm, it was Kim who was the face and body of their brand. She always wanted to be accepted by fashion houses, but even after marrying Kanye West, she has yet to really belong. Jenner, on the other hand, fits right in and has basically really managed to steal her older sister's thunder. This has obviously made Kardashian more than a little jealous.

  • Could Lindsay Lohan Be Headed to Jail for Failing to Complete Community Service Hours?

    It is sad that we all kind of expect Lindsay Lohan to screw up, and what is sadder is probably the fact that she always delivers. In November, she was granted an extension because she had 138 hours of community service to complete out of an original 240 hours that were handed down to her in connection with a 2012 case. At that time of sentencing, community service for the often-in-trouble Lohan seemed like a gift, but she apparently has not seen it that way. Lohan does not have her hours completed yet and that could mean jail time for the fallen star.
