• 'Y&R' Corey Sligh Needs to Learn How to Walk Again After Brutal Thanksgiving Attack

    Soap opera star Corey Sligh is slowly recovering from a brutal attack that occurred Thanksgiving night. He and his girlfriend, Alisa Berhorst, have made it a tradition to bring Thanksgiving dinner to their friends who are stuck working, and they were doing that when the incident occurred. The "Young and the Restless" star had just pulled into a Rite Aid parking lot and saw two guys in a car speeding, doing donuts while onlookers screamed. Sligh said something to the men and ended up being purposely hit by their car and then brutally beaten. Nearly two months later the actor says he is not harboring any hatred for the men.Sligh spoke exclusively with The Wrap and explained what he remembers after telling the driver to slow down."He looked me dead in the eye and kicked open his door as hard as he could into my chest. Then I said, 'Look, I don't have any problems, man.' And I walked away, off to the left of his car. That's when I heard tires squealing behind me. I turned around and the car was 3 feet away and coming at full speed. The next thing I know I'm up on the hood of the car, flipping off of the side. I thought it was over. They both attacked me. One guy hit me repeatedly in the face. I looked up and saw the other guy shoving Alisa and [our female friend]. I tried going over there while the first guy was hitting me. I had to tackle one of the guys to get him off and that's when my arm snapped," says Sligh.

    It's still cold out there for new music releases after the first full week of album sales during 2015, so it's not surprise that Taylor Swift was still on top of the Billboard 200 when today's numbers came out. It's the eighth week of ten that 1989 has been available where the record ended up on top, which makes it her second most-decorated album yet (Fearless spent 13 nonconsecutive weeks at no. 1 during 2008-'09). It moved 244,000 equivalent albums last week.

  • Isn't Kylie Jenner Too Young to Cover 'Cosmo'?

    Isn't 17 years old a little too young to be covering the latest issue of "Cosmopolitan"? Apparently not it you are a member of the Kardashian-Jenner family, because Kylie Jenner is gracing the magazine's February 2015 issue. Compared to some of the things her sisters have done while minors, this move actually might be tame.In the interview that accompanies the cover, Jenner admits there are times when she really does not want a life in the spotlight anymore, but then she comes to her senses and thinks the bad she has been dealt is more than worth the good she receives. Still, being the youngest in a large family and growing up on reality television has never been easy. She admits to holding it together on camera when her parents announced their split and then going to her room and crying after the fact.Then there is the pressure of having a bunch of stunning older sisters. Jenner says there has certainly been pressure to keep up with them.There have been tons of rumors about Jenner having plastic surgery already, but it is something she emphatically denies, saying, "You guys have watched me grow up since I was 9. My face is going to get different. Now, I know how to do my makeup, contour and everything. I'm not against surgery. I'd never say no, but I don't desire it right now."
  • Float Away to Four Tet and Floating Points's 6-Hour Set at Plastic People's Closing Party [LISTEN]

    Friday, Jan. 2, sadly saw the last time the general public would come and party beneath the roof of beloved London club Plastic People. The nightclub made the snap decision to shut down after 20 successful and heralded years in business as one of the more highly touted establishments to support new, up-and-coming electronic acts. The last night was DJed by longtime resident Floating Points and London native Four Tet, who has been a staple at the club for many people. Floating Points was kind enough to upload their back-to-back set on SoundCloud where they spin all types of music from classic disco and classic rock to hip-hop and mellow house tracks, via "The Fader."The set does get a little distorted at times, but overall it sounds good and the full six hours is worth the listen.Floating Points attached a heartfelt thank you note to club owners Charlotte Kepel and Ade Fakeile for believing in them and all the good times that were had there. London clubbing took a big hit to start 2015.
  • New Lead Belly Album Set from Smithsonian Features 15 Unreleased Performances Including 1947 Commentary on Queen Elizabeth's Wedding

    Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter has a new compilation coming out later this year in the form of Smithsonian Folkways' Lead Belly: The Complete Collection. If one thing connects the traditionally black music forms of blues and hip-hop, it's that the performers of both tend to have huge back catalogues that ensure we'll never hear everything they've recorded. Thus the new five-disc collection will include 15 songs that never saw proper release, including a much-discussed narrative discussing Queen Elizabeth's 1947 wedding to Prince Philip.
  • BottleRock 2015 Lineup: Imagine Dragons, Robert Plant, No Doubt, Passion Pit Headlining

    It has become customary for festivals to put their tickets on sale before a lineup is announced and expect fans to buy them based on the brand name. Festivals like Coachella and Tomorrowland are able to do this because they deliver quality lineups each year, but for those who have not built up the cache with music fans, it is important to use a lineup announcement to drive ticket sales. California festival BottleRock has announced its full lineup with a big cast of acts that include headliners Robert Plant, Imagine Dragons, No Doubt, The Avett Brothers and Foster the People, with a diverse group of indie, folk, rock and hip-hop acts like Passion Pit, Public Enemy, Portugal. The Man, The Iron Heart — one of our 2015 artists to watch, Zella Day and more.The festival takes place at the beginning of summer, between May 29 and 31, in the heart of Napa Valley to bring you all the finest local bottles one could desire.Tickets go on sale tomorrow, Jan 8., at 10 a.m. PST.Check out the full lineup below, via "Billboard."
