• Even Jay Leno Is a Fan of Jimmy Fallon's Revitalized 'Tonight Show'

    In under a year Jimmy Fallon has transformed the art of late-night television. Gone are the days when people chose their show based on the guest-star lineup on any particular evening. Fallon is the entertainment and the reason that people are tuning in to "The Tonight Show" on a regular basis. The guest stars are kind of like icing on the cake. "Entertainment Weekly" got it right in naming Fallon the 2014 Entertainer of the Year, and as it turns out, even Jay Leno agrees.It was rumored at first that NBC was shoving Leno out to make room for Fallon, but there was never any animosity between these two. Instead, Leno took his exit with a shred of grace and now he gets the appeal of Fallon just like all the rest of us.Leno told "EW" in an interview:"I don't watch every night, but I watch and I enjoy — and I enjoy Seth [Meyers], too. Jimmy's a really great mimic. When I saw him do Neil Young, I just thought he was lip-syncing the song. But no — he really captures the nuances really well. It's different. Everybody has their strengths and weaknesses. I could never do a musical parody — it's just not what's in me. You know, I got out at the right time. When you're 40 and you're talking to the 25-year-old supermodel, it's sexy. When you're 64, you're the creepy old guy, you know? At some point, you can't pretend to know all of Jay-Z's music. You can only live in the time you live in."

  • Ty Segall Announces New EP 'Mr. Face,' Released As A "Playable Pair Of 3D Glasses"

    California garage rock extraordinaire Ty Segall has announced a new EP titled Mr. Face, which is set for release on Jan. 13 through Famous Class Records (that's the cover artwork up above). Though Mr. Face contains only four tracks, which could easily fit onto one record, the EP will be released as a double seven-inch, and is being billed as "the world's first playable pair of 3D glasses," which you're supposed to hold up to your eyes while you look at the record sleeve (as Segall helpfully demonstrates with this animated GIF over at Pitchfork).

  • 50 Cent Reaches Out To Floyd Mayweather Following Earl Hayes’ Death, Calls Boxer His "Little Brother" Despite Past Beefs

    50 Cent's friendship with Floyd Mayweather goes back more than a decade. Things started going downhill in 2012 after their joint promotions company The Money Team tore them apart - Mayweather backed out of it and left Fiddy with a $2 million loss. They had appeared to have patched things up until this summer when 50 bullied Mayweather on Instagram by challenging him to read a page from Harry Potter without messing it up, and there have been a few back-and-forth comments since then. While Fiddy might not have the best relationship right now with Mayweather, he still reached out to him following the tragic murder-suicide that Mayweather was a reported witness to.

  • Scott Stapp Skipped Mental Health Hearing: Creed Singer Could Be Involuntarily Committed

    Creed's Scott Stapp reportedly skipped a mental health hearing that a court required him to attend. The scheduled appearance was supposed to be a chance for officials to propose Stapp spend some time in a psychiatric treatment facility. The singer made headlines in November after posting multiple videos in which he claimed he was broke and living in his truck.A few days ago, it was reported that Stapp recieved a $1.5 million advance for his last solo effort, 2013's "Proof of Life." He, along with Creed bandmates Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall and Scott Phillips, reportedly received $3 million in advance of 2009's "Full Circle." Stapp's stories of mysterious sources draining his bank account and not receiving royalties from his record label seem a bit sketchy now.The singer's mental health came into question earlier in November when police in Madison County, Florida, found him on the side of the road looking inebriated and rambling incoherently. He was placed in a 72-hour psych hold, and his wife, Jaclyn, asked that he be put in an additional psych hold after the videos started surfacing. GossipExtra notes that Stapp can be involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility for having missed his recent court date.The singer appears to be sober in the video messages, but there is no way of telling what his true state of mind is.

  • 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Debuts New Online Cooking Show, But Will Anyone Watch?

    Several weeks ago we heard about how Teresa Giudice was rumored to be ironing out the details in order to launch a cooking show once she finishes serving her 15-month prison term for financial crimes. The former star of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" is trying to figure out how to provide for her four daughters later on as well as in the immediate future. One thing is for certain, her shady husband Joe Giudice will likely be of much financial help. It seems, though, that at least for now Bravo has opted to sever ties with the reality star, so she has had to get a bit creative. Glam.com offered her an online cooking show, and Giudice jumped at the chance.Her first episode of "Haute Hostess" is online now and features Giudice making shrimp and pasta from her cookbook "Fabulicious." Throughout her years on "RHONJ," it was always insinuated that Giudice rarely cooks, so peddling her books is just about as fraudulent as everything else she has done to make some fast cash. A few years ago, when Giudice's fan base was huge, the idea of a Web cooking show would have taken off like crazy, but now not so much.There is little doubt that she is hoping that "Haute Hostess" will be an online hit and that it will make Bravo's executives reconsider whether or not to take another chance on her.

Habitual headliners like Tiësto, David Guetta, Laidback Luke, Dillon Francis and Sasha will all join the party, with a large cast of DJs to round out the lineup, including Diplo and Skrillex's side project Jack Ü, which Diplo announced the appearance of last month in an interview with DJ Whoo Kid.The lineup includes a variety of DJs from a wide swath of genres. Some of the acts heading to Mexico in the spring include Tommy Trash, Grum, Dubfire, Arty, GTA, Oliver Heldens, Orjan Nilsen, Claude VonStroke, Andrew Rayel and more, via "Mixmag." The festival will take place over two days, Feb. 28 to March 1. As it is in Las Vegas, EDC Mexico will be situated on a racetrack, this time closer to the city than in Las Vegas at the Autodrome Hermanos Rodriguez.
