• Jimmy Fallon Has Been Named 'Entertainment Weekly' 2014 Entertainer of the Year

    A few days after we all flip our calendars to December, it begins: the year-end best and worst of everything lists that pop up in nearly every major publication. It only makes sense that "Entertainment Weekly" would be leading the pack with its selections of the biggest hits and most epic fails of the year. Its selection for the 2014 Entertainer of the Year is Jimmy Fallon, and really, can anyone even begin to offer up a valid argument against "EW's" selection?Fallon took over "The Tonight Show's" hosting duties from Jay Leno just as the Sochi Olympics were wrapping up, and he kind of did the unthinkable. Fallon's ratings were really high for his first few nights at the helm of "The Tonight Show," and then they got better. Not even a year into his new gig and his ratings are better than Leno's were even in his much-hyped final weeks on NBC.So what is the secret to Fallon's groundbreaking success?

  • The Fooo Conspiracy Talk the Conspiracy, Performing with Justin Bieber and Crazy Fan Experiences [EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW]

    Boy bands are back in. One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer are leading the way in the new British Invasion, but a cold wind is starting to pick up out of the northern reaches of Scandinavia in Sweden. A newly formed Swedish boy band, Grammy-Award-winning The Fooo Conspiracy — for Felix, Omar, OG and Oscar — have become immensely popular in their home country and in the surrounding countries, and are primed to bring their talents abroad.When the average person thinks of Swedish pop, names like Abba, Robyn or even more recently Tove Lo come to mind. Electronic music has become one of the country's chief music exports, featuring the likes of Avicii; former Swedish House Mafia members Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello; Alesso; and Eric Prydz. Now Sweden can say it has a superstar boy band in the making set to explode on the world stage, with their well-oiled choreography, slick dance moves and catchy songs that make their outfit the complete package.They were booked for their first show opening for Justin Bieber on his three-day stint in Stockholm at the Globe last April after Bieber's manager saw The Fooo's video for "Kangaroos" and contacted them to be the supporting act. They have since been doing pop-up acts and smaller shows all across Scandinavia.Their recent EP, "Serenade," shot up to No. 1 on the Swedish charts when it was released earlier this year and has been re-released on Spotify for the U.S. audience.We had the chance to sit down with the high-flying quartet to discuss how they got started, their big wins at the Swedish Grammys and MTV EMAs and the story behind the "conspiracy." We also dive into their dance moves and get them to show off some flips for us outside the office on a chilly November day in New York City. They shared some crazy fan stories, including some moments with some pretty hands on fans in the United States.

  • Lil Wayne, Big Sean, More Drop Verses In DJ Mustard's "Face Down" Lyric Video [WATCH]

    Hip-hop producer DJ Mustard has shared the lyric video for his track "Face Down," featuring Lil Wayne, Big Sean, YG, and Lil Boosie, which you can check out below. The video basically shifts back and forth between two background images: a silhouette of a pole-dancing stripper for the chorus (of course) and a ton of neon-lit hundred dollar bills floating through space for the verses (of course). As for the lyrics themselves, let's just say that these aren't exactly the type of lyrics that deserve any extra attention, but here we are.

  • Is Kate Middleton Expecting a Little Princess Next April?

    The beginning of Kate Middleton's second pregnancy was sure rough, as Prince William's wife battled even worse morning sickness than what she endured while carrying Prince George two years ago. Nearly three months of royal appearances were systematically canceled until the duchess was finally back on her feet again and already she is nearly halfway through her pregnancy. Rumor has it that this time around Middleton wanted to know the gender of her baby and she is thrilled to be having a daughter.Middleton and Prince William had originally said they wanted to have three children within about five years so their kids could really bond while young and grow up together. When Middleton delivers this child in April, she will technically have two kids under 2, as George's second birthday is not until July. It looks like the couple's family plan is right on track and, according to Hollywood Life, even Queen Elizabeth II is hoping that the news is correct and that this baby is a girl.

  • 5 Versions of "Little Red Rooster" Ranked; From Howlin' Wolf to The Rolling Stones

A number of acts have made singles of the blues standard and Music Times will dare to rank the renditions of the single in terms of quality.

  • Soap Star Eileen Davidson Finally Made Her Much-Anticipated Debut on 'RHOBH'

    Bravo has been pretty smart in the way it has handled the newest season of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." It purposely added two soap stars to the cast — Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson — but they spaced out their debuts, probably for maximum affect. Rinna was in on the action with the rest of the cast right from the season premiere, but it waited until the third episode for Davidson's debut.While nothing too traumatic went down last night, Dec. 2, between Davidson and anyone else, we already know from the trailer that she and Rinna have at least one glass-throwing incident and they are not exactly the best of friends at all. They crossed paths years ago on "Days of Our Lives" and clearly never gelled. It is pretty obvious already that Bravo is expecting Davidson to cause some friction among the ladies, and that seems to be a role she is already comfortable playing.

  • Courtney Love Has No Creative Control Over Kurt Cobain Documentary [UPDATED]

    As with most things relating to her late husband Kurt Cobain, it was expected that Courtney Love would have some level of input and creative control over the recently announced Cobain HBO documentary "Montage of Heck." But according to "The Hollywood Reporter," Love has reportedly been given no creative control into the project, despite the fact that the film was her idea in the first place."She gave me the keys to this kingdom and final cut of the film," says the film's director Brett Morgan, whom Love first contacted in 2007 to create a documentary about the legendary Nirvana frontman.Though he has not been working with Love on the project, Morgan has instead been working with Love and Cobain's daughter Frances Bean Cobain, who is serving as executive producer. Frances Bean was just 20 months old when her famous father committed suicide in April 1994, and she believes that giving her mother any sort of control over the project would be inappropriate, as she is such an integral part to the story of Cobain's life."At a certain point, I started working more closely with [Frances Bean]," Morgan says. "We [all] agreed that because Courtney was a subject in the film, it would be best if she wasn't given editorial control."

  • Grand Jury Decision Imminent in NYPD Chokehold Death of Eric Garner

    While the majority of America has been focused on the fallout in Ferguson, Missouri, after Michael Brown's killer Police Officer Darren Wilson was not indicted, another eerily similar case has been starting to grab real attention. In July, Eric Garner was stopped on a Staten Island street and accused of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes by NYPD officers. As they closed in on Garner, he resisted a bit while asking them not to touch him, but eventually Officer Daniel Pantaleo placed Garner in a chokehold while wrestling him to the ground.Garner died on that sidewalk and a New York City grand jury has been deliberating since late September over whether or not Pantaleo should be charged, and it looks like their decision is imminent.This altercation was captured on video and it is absolutely horrific to hear Garner pleading with the officers, telling them flat out, "I can't breathe."Garner had asthma, and it has been determined that the chokehold combined with that and heart issues ultimately lead to his death. Peaceful protests have been occurring quite regularly in Garner's neighborhood, with many calling for criminal charges to be filed against Pantaleo.

  • Ray Rice Insists He and Janay Rice Have Only Ever Had 'One Bad Night, It Just Happened to Be on Video'

    Did you catch Ray Rice's interview with Matt Lauer yesterday on "Today"? The sit-down interview had actually been booked with Janay Rice, and it gave her an opportunity to finally speak about that horrific night in Atlantic City last February when Ray knocked her out cold in an elevator. The couple had been dealing with their issues semi-privately until the surveillance video went viral last September, and the fallout has been huge. Janay answered all sorts of questions about their relationship and insisted that her now-husband has never laid a finger on her other than this one time. Supposedly, Ray came home near the end of her interview and decided to appear on camera.Perhaps NBC thought it would feel more impromptu and less strategically planned if Lauer talked to the couple while standing in their kitchen. Once they all settled in around the island, Rice insisted that they have only had this one bad night together, and unfortunately there is video to document it. He also claims that working is not his biggest concern right now.Ray told Lauer:"The big deal is for me to always protect her, and that's why I said I take full responsibility. She can do no wrong. This is something, you know, as a man you have to own and, we're horribly sorry, and I'm horribly sorry for everything that I have to put my family through. I still got to live every day, go take my daughter to school. She's going to grow up and the way the Internet works now she's going to Google her father's name and the first thing that's going to come up is, you know what's going to come up."
