• Manhunt Underway for Two Suspects Who Shot and Wounded Two NYPD Officers in the Bronx

    The New York Police Department cannot seem to go more than a day without grabbing another negative headline one way or another. Sadly, on Monday night, Jan. 5, two plainclothes officers were shot while responding to a robbery call shortly after their shift had ended. The two, along with three other officers, thought they spotted the suspects who were connected to a Bronx grocery store robbery. When they got out of their vehicle, a shoot-out began with both officers ending up with injuries that are not life-threatening. There is currently a manhunt underway for both suspects, who stole and later ditched a white Camaro.While everyone is relieved that these officers have a good prognosis, this is just another dangerous incident to end up on top of the pile. After two Brooklyn officers were assassinated while having lunch in their patrol car a few weeks ago, it changed everything for the NYPD. It had previously felt as though Mayor Bill de Blasio had abandoned them by allowing protests to take place all over the city following the news that there would be no indictment in the chokehold death of Eric Garner. The NYPD feels that rather than working together for the safety of the city, he and City Hall instead made things more difficult.Once those two officers were killed, the NYPD started protesting de Blasio by turning their backs to him, and it has been downhill from there. Now with two more officers down, the NYPD still does not feel support from City Hall and believes that de Blasio helped add additional strain to the divide between protesters and police. Another double shooting was the last situation that either side needed to have to face now.

  • Bradley Cooper Shreds Air Guitar on Neil Young's 'Down by the River' for Jimmy Fallon on 'The Tonight Show' [WATCH]

    Bradley Cooper is one of Hollywood's biggest stars. His upcoming film, "American Sniper," is creating some serious awards buzz while the reviews of his Broadway performance in "The Elephant Man" have been positive. It turns out that Cooper has a few other talents, though, including some serious chops as an air guitarist. During a recent visit to "The Tonight Show," the actor showed Jimmy Fallon and his audience how well he knows Neil Young's "Down by the River" on the air ax.Cooper made it clear that his musical talents are not widely known during his hilarious interview with Fallon."I play an air guitar," he says in the clip below. "There's one song by Neil Young that I feel like, I don't know if everybody knows this, so I'm proud I know it. It's just the guitar solo of 'Down by the River.'"Cooper could not explain why he memorized that particular song, but it is obvious that he is a fan. While wearing a ridiculous wig — it is kind of a thing for the pair now — the actor stood up and plucked his invisible Gibson Les Paul, much to the delight of the host and viewers. Roots guitarist Kirk Douglas took over the duties before the show went to a commercial break.

  • Keyshia Cole Shares 'New Nu' Music Video [WATCH]

    R&B star Keyshia Cole has shared the music video for her Mike Will Made-It-produced single "New Nu," which you can check out below. The video features Cole and her friends in a pretty intense boys vs. girls paintball match, intercut with some — pretty ridiculous looking — shots of Cole standing in front of a green screen with diamonds and hundred-dollar bills cascading in the background. It is not entirely clear what paintball has to do with breaking up with a man who has done you wrong, but we will take it.You can check out Keyshia Cole's music video for "New Nu" here:

  • The Prodigy Announce Album 'The Day Is My Enemy' Release Date, Tracklist

    The news that all Prodigy fans have long been waiting for has finally arrived. The "Firestarter" group has dished the details on their upcoming artist album, "The Day Is My Enemy," slated for release March 30. Liam Howlett, Keith Flint and Maxim Reality have revealed the tracklist for the 14-track album as well via a post on the band's website."The Day Is My Enemy" will be the sixth album in The Prodigy's storied 20-plus-year discography and their first in six years. Fans have been eagerly waiting for the follow-up to 2009's "Invaders Must Die" with little definitive news as to when the next album would come. 2014 was supposed to see the next album in stores, but the year came and went, and 2015 looked like a surer thing after the group signed a new record deal and management contract.None of the songs on the album have been released yet, but two have been previously announced: "Ibiza" alongside Sleaford Mods and "Nasty," scheduled to get its release sometime later this month. It is interesting to see the band collaborate on the album with American dubstep producer Flux Pavilion, notably in a tracklist largely devoid of collaborations. They both make jarring and aggressive music, so we will see what kind of madness comes from that collab.

  • Interview: Joshua Radin Shares Love Letters with his New Album 'Onward and Sideways'

  • Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick Are Quitting Reality Television

    A new baby might not be the only thing Kourtney Kardashian is going to be celebrating. The reality star and her baby daddy Scott Disick are just about at the end of their three-year contract with E!, and rather than signing another deal the couple seems about ready to put reality television in their past.According to a new report by Radar Online, Kardashian is wise enough to realize that doing the show with her boyfriend since 2007 has actually caused a lot more fights than they would have had if every moment of their lives was not documented for the world to see. Sources say the couple has been over the whole reality TV thing, and the buzz that comes with it for quite awhile now, but they still had to ride out the end of their contracts.Perhaps if they walk away from the cameras and daily spotlight it will actually help Disick keep himself together. His battle with alcohol and pills was one of the main storylines on "Kourtney & Khloé Take the Hamptons," the most recent reality show of theirs to wrap up on E! Disick was and still is grieving the loss of his parents while contending with the stress of a new baby, and if we have learned anything about this guy, it is that he cannot cope well.
