• 'RHOA's' Apollo Nidas' Behavior Has Gotten Just Plan Creepy Towards Almost Ex-wife Phaedra Parks

    If you're a fan of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" then you have no doubt been following the demise of Phaedra Parks marriage to Apollo Nida. Perhaps she should have thought twice about marrying an ex-con but Parks believed that her man had truly changed his shady business dealings and when she found out otherwise she pretty immediately began distancing herself from him. The episodes currently airing on Bravo were filmed a few months ago, shortly before Nida surrendered to a Kentucky prison where he will spend the next 8 years. Last night's episode gave us all a front row seat to a different side of Nida, one that felt quite threatening.

  • Remembering Austrian/German Pop Star Udo Juergens in Five Hit Songs: "Merci, Chérie," "Buenos Aíres, Argentina" and More

    The nation of Germany, and the pop music industry in general, got a bit of tough news today when it was announced that performer and songwriter Udo Juergens had passed away from heart failure at the age of 80. He was one of those performers who was an absolute smash in Europe, selling more than 100 million records across the continent—particularly in Germany and his homeland of Austria—but unfortunately his fame never caught on quite so well in the United States.

  • Due to Mounting Pressure, Sony Will Likely Release 'The Interview' Eventually

    It is kind of amazing how divided the United States is over racial issues, law enforcement and good ol' political agendas, but when a film studio gets hacked, it is fairly easy to get everyone on the same page — and quickly! Sony canceled everything in connection with its film "The Interview" last week, fearing that the group that has successfully hacked the company would make good on its threats of violence. Once it was confirmed that North Korea was responsible for the large security breech, the studio decided not to take any unnecessary risks and even the White House disagreed with the decision.First, Hollywood as a whole chimed in collectively, not wanting to feel like its business was being controlled by Kim Jong Un's regime. Then political leaders such as U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Newt Gingrich started rallying for the film's release. By this morning, Dec. 22, Sony started contemplating exactly what the best way to release "The Interview" might be. While the logical possibility was either video on demand or Netflix, some other companies might be more than a little skittish, fearing that they, too, will be hacked.

  • Pandora Cries First Amendment in Copyright Lawsuit with The Turtles

    Pandora is continuing its fight against The Turtles and all music artists recorded before 1972. Mark Volmer and Howard Kalen, aka Flo & Eddie, filed suit against the streaming music service in September after their successful lawsuit against SiriusXM. Members of The Turtles want compensation, but Pandora in a recent motion said the band is infringing on the service's First Amendment rights to play the group's music, "Billboard" reports.The issue is that the United States did not have a master recordings copyright law until 1972, so everything recorded before that year has been played on Pandora and SiriusXM without compensation for the artists. Volmer and Kalen decided to try the case at the state level, which worked after a judge in California ruled that the satellite radio provider had to pay up. That is the same judge hearing the Pandora case — the service is hoping to receive a change of venue.The pair also secured a win in November in a New York courtroom.Pandora is now crying First Amendment.
