• Deer Tick Cover 'Meet the Beatles!' in Its Entirety at Brooklyn Bowl with Taylor Goldsmith and Tommy Stinson [WATCH]

    The rambunctious boys of Deer Tick decided to celebrate their 10th anniversary in style, forgoing a straightforward celebration and opting for shows where they play covers by their favorite artists. The band kicked things off the day after Christmas with NRBQ's "Tiddlywinks" followed by Lou Reed's "Transformer." They used the midpoint of their Brooklyn Bowl residency to pay homage to The Beatles by playing the group's second record, "Meet the Beatles!," with the help of Tommy Stinson of The Replacements, Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes and James Felice of The Felice Brothers."Rolling Stone" reviewed the gig, which had John McCauley screaming on classics like "It Won't Be Long" and "Till There Was You." Goldsmith joined in on "Don't Bother Me," Felice busted out the accordion on "Little Child," and Stinson hit the stage for what had to be a rowdy version of "I Wanna Be Your Man." Check out some of the videos below.

    It seems that only Mel B — Melanie Brown — herself knows the real situation going on behind the scenes with her husband Stephen Belafonte, and she is bound and determined to keep it that way — at least for now.

On Instagram Sunday, Dec. 28, she posted a photo of herself with her husband that was captioned, "This is for my fans havin problems with my Twitter will be back soon! I'm very good was very polly but much better now and for the record my hubby never would lay a hand on me sorry took so long but any response fuels rumors #lovemyfamily #lovemyfans."There were also rumors that Mel B's hospitalization was because of an accidental overdose and afterward she reportedly was afraid to leave London because she was dreading having to return to the States to deal with things with Belafonte.

  • 'RHOA' Phaedra Parks Couldn't Wait for Creepy Apollo Nida to Be Behind Bars

    The season of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" that is currently airing was filmed late in the summer, shortly before Phaedra Parks's husband, Apollo Nida, was scheduled to surrender to police to begin serving an eight-year prison sentence. It seems like every time he pops up on camera he is spewing hate for his wife's lack of support, and it is clear that he is, at best, a wild card who seems to follow her everywhere. The level of stress on Parks for having to contend with Nida is palpable.It is really no surprise that rather than being upset by the fact that the father of her two kids was heading off to prison, there came a point when any upset turned into relief. In a conversation with her mother on last night's episode of "RHOA," Parks admitted she was anxious for Nida to report to jail in Kentucky."I won't have to be worried about all his nonsense, wondering what's going on with him, has he wrecked something, has he got in trouble somewhere?" said Parks.

  • Grammys 2015: AC/DC, Madonna and U2 Rumored to Perform at 57th Award Show in February

    The highlight of this year's Grammys might come in the form of older acts. Rumors have surfaced that AC/DC, U2 and Madonna have all been tapped to perform at the awards show Feb. 8. This would make complete sense since those three acts have or are working on new albums: AC/DC with "Rock or Bust," U2 with "Songs of Innocence" and Madonna with "Rebel Heart."Hits Daily Double first reported the rumors — it is the same source that said AC/DC is in the frontrunning to headline Coachella. No other information was given, but considering the diversity of the three and the show's tradition of booking young and seasoned performers, this is looking pretty plausible. AC/DC would certainly liven up the show.Last year, Paul McCartney, Metallica and Daft Punk were just a few of the performers to take the stage at the Grammys. McCartney and Ringo Starr were honored at a separate show highlighting The Beatles's 50th anniversary of playing "The Ed Sullivan Show."U2's "Songs of Innocence" was given away to iTunes users in September. The band partnered with Apple for the surprise release. Bono and the boys released a limited vinyl edition of the album for sale later, making the effort eligible for the Grammys.
