• Kristian Alfonso Throws a Bit of Shade at the Notion of Peter Reckell Returning to 'Days of Our Lives'

    Way back in the 1980s, soap operas were filled with supercouples, with one of the biggest being "Days of our Lives's" Bo and Hope Brady, played by Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso. The two quickly garnered a huge fan base that, even to this day, still rallies for them to reunite. Reckell and Alfonso returned to "Days" in the '90s and had an intertwined storyline until his character was sent packing a few years ago.Reckell has said he understood that his departure was basically making room for younger leading men and that it goes with the territory. But he has never agreed with how his character left town and believes the fans deserved better than what they got.In October, a series of tweets by Reckell led fans to think there was the possibility of him returning to "Days." He later admitted that he did make some calls to producers because he believed there was a logical reason to bring him back onto the canvas. In a recent interview, Alfonso could not have agreed any less and thought that bringing the character of Bo back just to allow Hope to move on was ridiculous.
  • 5 Mysterious/Unmarked Resting Places for Famous Musicians: From Mozart to Roy Orbison and Michael Jackson

    Today involved a rather curious/mortifying news update for those who weren't previously aware that Frédéric Chopin's heart has been stored in a crystal jar full of alcohol, which itself is housed inside a pillar at the Holy Trinity Church in Warsaw. A few scientists and lay folk did a quick checkup to make sure the organ was still in good condition and then put it back, to be checked on another 50 years. It kind of makes us curious what other famous musicians have mysterious final resting places. None are as quirky as Chopin's (the rest of his body is in Paris, if curious) but there are some graves that get/got little attention for a while.
  • Kate Middleton and Prince William Scrambling to Find a New Press Secretary for Their Kensington Palace Office

    Working as the official press secretary for Prince William, Kate Middleton and Prince Harry would be a great gig ... if anyone could actually land it. Their former media-handler left his position nearly two months ago, and while a string of extremely qualified candidates have been interviewed for the job, Prince William is reportedly making the process difficult.According to "The Daily Mail," securing a new PR person has become extremely tedious.Former BBC producer Ed Perkins quit Kensington Palace more than seven weeks ago, after only two years as their press secretary, and Prince William, Kate and [Prince] Harry have still not found a suitable candidate to succeed him."It's a nightmare," claims a senior courtier to the "Mail." "Prince William does not take advice readily — let's put it like that. Several well-qualified candidates have been ruled out."
  • Apollo Nida Admits That He Lied to Everyone About Kenya Moore's Sexual Advances on 'RHOA'

    We are not quite sure what to make of Apollo Nida's deciding to admit on camera to telling a pack of lies to the entire cast of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" for the past few years. He has insisted for the last two seasons that Kenya Moore had been sexting him, basically offering her services — something Nida claimed to shoot down because he loved his wife, Phaedra Parks. In last night's Nov. 16 episode, Nida offered an apology to Moore for lying about her, and when confronted by the rest of the cast he admitted that every sexual advance he claimed she made was a lie.Obviously, Moore has been vindicated after spending years dealing with non-stop hate from this crew thanks to Nida's lies, but why did he come clean now? Nida has claimed he wanted to make peace with people before he surrendered to prison officials back in September. But was this about him feeling guilty, or was it more like Nida decided to show everyone how dirty and vicious he is because he is going away for eight years anyway?

  • Early Axl Rose EP with First Band Rapidfire Available for Download, Features Guns N' Roses Frontman in 1983 [LISTEN]

    Axl Rose has been linked to Guns N' Roses since the beginning of time. The erratic frontman, however, was in a few other bands prior to making it big in the late 1980s. He was in the first lineup of L.A. Guns before forming his own band, Hollywood Rose with GN'R guitarist Izzy Stradlin. Their five-song demo was released in 2004 from the archives, and now fans are able to download an EP from Rose's first project, Rapidfire.According to Ultimate Classic Rock, Rapifire's demos have been available online for a few years, but the official release only came after Rose's legal blessing. Loudwire even reported earlier this year that a YouTube clip of Rapidfire was taken down at the request of Rose's lawyers even though it belonged to guitarist Kevin Lawrence."Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead man," Lawrence wrote prior to the release. "Oh, and I can't wait for the 500-page illegal harassment of a cease and desist. Snore .. zzz ... zzz. Heard of interference of business and SLAPP suits? I own the copyrights, the masters, the photos, the performances and I have the receipt that I paid for it all ... LOL ... open and shut."The EP, "Ready to Rumble," is available for purchase. Fans can learn more about the band on its Facebook page and even listen to a snippet of the music below.

Lazer Lee Louis Pentz weighed 8 pounds 10 ounces at the time of birth, "Us Weekly" reports.

They were seen publicly at Coachella in April, and over the summer Perry went to Jamaica with the EDM artist to work on new, reggae-infused music."The funniest moment was having Katy Perry in the studio singing 'woke up this morning feeling so blessed' and writing a whole song to the Rootsman Riddim while Jesse did the dub for 'Modern Day Judas,'" Walshy Fire, who was also in the studio with the pair, said. "Watching her catch that reggae vibe was the best part of recording."Diplo has been caught up in a social media scuffle lately with Taylor Swift and Lorde. A few days ago, the producer tweeted, "Someone should make a kickstarter to get taylor swift a booty." The campaign has not even raised $100 yet.
