  • Flo & Eddie of The Turtles Win Third Major Case against SiriusXM; Cost of Using Pre-1972 Music May Soon Skyrocket

    Sirius Radio has taken a shellacking in courts so far this year but other music formats shouldn't assume they're safe. A third case involving Flo & Eddie of The Turtles (best known for tracks such as "Happy Together") has ended in New York with a similar ruling to the previous two cases: A judge has ruled that despite the band's catalogue existing before 1972, SiriusXM had no right to use it without compensating the performers.

  • Laura Ingalls Wilder's ' 'Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography' Will Be Published After Being Hidden for 84 Years

    Fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder's books will be thrilled to learn that 57 years after her death a new, more realistic account of her life is headed into bookstores next week.

  • Garth Brooks Breaks Own Ticket Sales Record In Tulsa

  • Kendall Jenner Announces That She is the New Face of Estée Lauder

    Kim Kardashian may have had the good fortune of landing on the cover of Vogue with Kanye West and their daughter North West earlier this year, but it seems like another of her family members may actually be far more worthy of the honor. Kendall Jenner has spent the last 18 months steamrolling her way into the modeling world and has found herself landing one prized gig after another. Just today she announced via her Instagram that she has been officially named the new face of Estee Lauder.

  • Will Film Adaptation of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Have Enough Chemistry to Satisfy Fans?

    The closer we get to E.L. James' "Fifty Shades of Grey" rolling into theaters, the more fans and critics alike seem to love speculation on whether or not it will actually work. Let's face it, trying to bring a series about BDSM to life onscreen with even an NC-17 rating is going to be a really tricky task. The film has to be raunchy or else it'll feel like a watered down version of the first book and that will leave the diehard fans wishing they didn't waste their money. At the same time, producers need to be careful that it's not so raunchy that is chases moviegoers away, so the line that everyone needs to walk is very fine.
