  • Teresa Giudice's Friends Abandon Her Behind Bars as 'RHONJ' Inches Closer to Being Shelved

    After years of playing people against each other, it looks like Teresa Giudice is the one left in the dust. "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star has famously manipulated Melissa Gorga, Jacqueline Laurita, Kathy Wakile and basically every other friend or family member whom she has crossed paths with, and now it is Giudice who is alone. After turning herself in to the prison camp in Danbury, Connecticut, that will be her home for the next 13 months, the reality star realized that even before she left no one was reaching out to her.According to a report by Radar Online, in the past these women would have been there for Giudice, in spite of how vicious she has been toward them, but now things are different. They realize that it is time to back away and save themselves from the toxic and even criminal behavior she has brought into their lives.While Giudice is away, it seems Bravo producers are inching closer to shelving "RHONJ," at least until she is released from prison. Like it or not, Giudice has always been the centerpiece of the show, and without her it is just unlikely that enough people are going to tune in to get the ratings to where they would need to be. Needless to say, the rest of the cast wants to believe that they are more than enough to keep the show going. The fact that they might need a shady, admitted criminal to keep them relevant and on television is no doubt a shot to their egos, but it does seem to be the bottom line.

  • Ice Hockey Announce 'Wavefunction Collapse' LP, Tour Dates [SCHEDULE]

    Iowa rockers Ice Hockey are beginning 2015 in style: They just signed to Texas Is Funny in time to release a new record, "Wavefunction Collapse," and hit the road for a bunch of shows.That is great news because the last year has been tough."This was written in a very tumultuous time for the band," the group told "Brooklyn Vegan" about new song "Solar Myths and Autumn."

  • AC/DC Soundtracks Beats Electronics Commercials Featuring NFL Stars Richard Sherman and Von Miller [WATCH]

    AC/DC mania has hit the masses. The band released its 15th studio album "Rock or Bust" in December and took the rock landscape by storm. "Play Ball," the album's first single, appeared in a commercial for Major League Baseball's playoffs in October, and now the same song is being used in some advertisements for Beats Electronics. This time the sport is American football, with Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman and Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller blaring the tune before a game.In both commercials, the players are driving to a stadium while listening to a broadcaster — Jim Rome — more or less talking trash. They use their slick, new headphones — Powerbeats2 Wireless and Studio Wireless — to drown out all the chatter. AC/DC's "Play Ball" fits perfectly since both players are getting ready to do just that — this could be a big one for March Madness. Check out the ads below via Blabbermouth.Historically, the Australian rockers do not license their music for commercials and ads. "Back in Black" was used in a Walmart ad in 2011 a few years after the group sold their last album, "Black Ice," exclusively through the retailer. The 1980 anthem has recently popped up in a commercial for Chevrolet's new Colorado.

  • US Military's Twitter, YouTube Accounts Hacked by ISIS

    The United States is united with France in the notion that we will not walk in fear, but that does not mean the Muslim extremist groups are not going to do their best to generate that kind of reaction. On Monday afternoon, Jan. 12, individuals claiming to be part of the Islamic State — or ISIS — claimed responsibility immediately for hacking into the U.S. military's Central Command Twitter and YouTube accounts."ISIS is already here, we are in your PCs, in each military base," read a message posted to CENTCOM's account by the hackers. "With Allah's permission we are in CENTCOM now."Other tweets sent out from CENTCOM's account included contact information for some of the U.S.'s most high-ranking officials. That would seem to indicate that this group has indeed infiltrated far more than just a few social media accounts.
