  • Listen to the Taylor Swift 'Blank Space'/'Style' Mashup She Is Raving About [LISTEN]

    Making it in today's music business can be hard. Trying to get heard through all the millions of other YouTube cover artists, mixtape rappers and SoundCloud producers can be nearly impossible without a well-oiled machine backing you with connections and financial support. For those who do get lucky, though, it is generally a mixture of luck and hard work that gives them their break. Two country/folk artists — Louisa Wendorff and Devin Dawson — may have just gotten that break after Taylor Swift tweeted out a mashup cover of her songs "Blank Space" and "Style" from her hit album "1989."OBSESSED. @louisawendorff http://t.co/gXrXYEZx1B — Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) December 27, 2014The pair put an acoustic spin on the tracks and expertly mesh the vocals together for a mashup that does not sound forced at all.

    Fans of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" and "Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons" already understand that Khloe Kardashian has quite obviously chosen to deal with her divorce from Lamar Odom by not dealing with it at all. Instead, the reality star spent the better part of a year partying and hitting up the clubs, basically doing anything that allowed her to squash her upset rather than deal with it.

  • Search for Missing AirAsia Flight 8501 Has Been Suspended Due to Bad Weather

    2014 has proven to be an especially tragic year for air travel in Southeast Asia, and in the last 24 hours it has been compounded by the loss of another plane. AirAsia Flight 8501 vanished over the Indonesian Sea Sunday, Dec. 28, and as of now there is no trace of the craft. The flight, carrying 162 people, departed Surabaya for Singapore, but not long into the trip the pilot asked to change his course. At 6:13 a.m., Flight 8501 was reportedly in the middle of dense fog and thunderstorm and the pilot asked to gain speed and altitude in an attempt to fly over the clouds. The flight was last seen on the radar at 6:16 a.m., and after several hours of searching efforts to find the missing plane have been halted until daylight.The Airbus A320 took off from Surabaya, Indonesia's second largest airport, with an Indonesian captain and a French co-pilot, five cabin crew members and 155 passengers, including 16 children and one infant. According to an official statement by AirAsia, most of the passengers were Indonesians. There were also three South Koreans, a Malaysian, a British national and his 2-year-old Singaporean daughter. The captain reportedly has more than 20,000 flying hours and the first officer has 2,275 flying hours.At Surabaya airport, families were gathered together in a small room, attempting to comfort each other as they await word on the fate of the flight. AirAsia is 49 percent owned by Malaysia, which makes this the third ill-fated flight of this calendar year for that country.

  • Larry King Explains Crusade Against "N-Word" and His Approach to Hip-Hop Interviews

    The most powerful word in American history is one that has divided our country since its inception. The "N-word" has deep roots and requires much context when presented in a public space.

That'd be controversial multimedia guru, Larry King, who began broadcasting a "panel" in January to discuss the word.

  • Bill Cosby Has Hired Investigators to Dig Up Dirt on His Many Accusers

    After everything that we have heard about Bill Cosby's true character in recent weeks, it is surprising he has not gone after his multitude of accusers from the start. He may have held back from doing so in the beginning while hoping that all the accusations would somehow just disappear and be discredited on their own. Since the exact opposite has happened, Cosby is now out for proverbial blood.According to a report by Page Six, Cosby has hired a West Coast-based team of private investigators to dig up any dirt that exists on his accusers. In one meeting with the team, Cosby reportedly said, "If you're going to say to the world that I did this to you, then the world needs to know what kind of person are you? Who is this person that's saying it? You can't say that I put something in your coffee, threw you in a cab and then you go on and live a high-profile life, a famous life and you never complain."That, quite obviously, is in reference to Beverly Johnson's account of being drugged by the actor while auditioning for his sitcom back in the 1980s.
