  • Camille Cosby Is Defending Her Husband as Scandal Surrounding Bill Cosby Deepens

    Bill Cosby's life and business has been completely turned upside down over the last several weeks by a series of allegations that are shocking and impossible to ignore. Had just one or two women gone public with allegations of sexual misconduct, then Cosby would probably be standing on much stronger footing right now. Instead, more than two dozen women have come forward to paint the popular actor and comedian as, at best, manipulative and, at worst, a calculating serial rapist who has spent decades drugging and assaulting young women in Hollywood. Through it all, Cosby's wife of more than 50 years has stood by his side, keeping silent — at least until now.Camille Cosby has finally decided to speak up and out on behalf of her husband. She issued a simple statement that was intended to assure people that Cosby is indeed as good a man as the characters he has portrayed."The man I met, and fell in love with, and whom I continue to love, is the man you all knew through his work. He is a kind man, a generous man, a funny man, and a wonderful husband, father and friend. He is the man you thought you knew," explained Camille.She also went on to liken this scandal involving her husband to the alleged UVA gang rape story that "Rolling Stone" ran before double-checking its sources.

Check it out."River" is off Mitchell's 1971 release "Blue." It is regarded as one of the folk artist's best pieces.

  • Electric Wizard North American Tour: UK Band Playing First American Gigs in 10 Years

    Electric Wizard is a U.K. doom metal outfit known for their lengthy tunes and NSFW mentality. With nearly 20 years under their belts since their eponymous debut, the group's biggest chart hit, "Time to Die," was released in September. Now, with the iron hot, the boys — and girl — will strike in North America for the first time in 10 years.Immediately after the album soared up international charts, singer Jus Oborn hinted that a U.S. run would be coming."The album is meant to be played live," he told Occult in October. "I think that's pretty obvious from the way it sounds, which is raw and brutal. To be honest, we are probably going to end up touring the f--king world by the end of this album's life ... I'd like to get to South America eventually, and the U.S. tour is coming into play around April 2015, and then we'll be back to playing in Europe, so hopefully a world tour by the end of the cycle."The group, also consisting of Liz Buckingham and Clayton Burgess, is pretty much a dyed-in-the-wool 1970s/'80s metal retread.

  • 'Billboard' Women in Music: Ariana Grande Wins Rising Star Award and Brother Frankie Basically Ruins It [WINNERS]

    Some of the music industry's most powerful women gathered last week for "Billboard's" Women in Music Awards. Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Aretha Franklin attended the ceremony while some of 2014's standout ladies took home awards. Ariana Grande's speech for her Rising Star Award was a talking point from the night, but mostly due to her brother Frankie.The most confusing part of the speech was Frankie's involvement.

It was nice that Frankie was excited about the win, but tone it down a bit. Your sister can handle this by herself. Check out the awkward moment below and head to the 2:25 mark to see the Queen of Soul's reaction.
