• Bobby Shmurda Speaks From Jail: "I'm Innocent"

    Bobby Shmurda, real name Ackquille Pollard, still languishes in jail awaiting trial for a litany of charges relating to his connection to the GS9 crew and their alleged crimes. He has not stayed out of the public eye since then, releasing a few new songs and rapping a few verses via a jailhouse phone. The "Hot Ni*ga" rapper has still remained active with the media, calling into radio stations with his limited phone calls, remaining steadfast in his belief that he is innocent on all accounts. He recently was the subject of a profile by New York Magazine, who spoke to Pollard over a video conference call line normally reserved for lawyers and their clients.

  • Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams Push for 'Blurred Lines' Retrial

    Attorneys for Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams are pushing for a retrial in the case of "Blurred Lines" and its similarities to Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up." The original trial wrapped up during March, resulting in more than $7.4 million in payouts for the plaintiffs.

  • The Who Rumored to Be Final Glastonbury 2015 Headliner

    Glastonbury's 2015 lineup hasn't been fully revealed yet, leading many to speculate on what act will close out the music festival's final night, and British daily The Sun reports that its sources indicate The Who will be the final act.

  • Major Lazer Share 'Bass Drop' Featuring Andy Samberg From FXX Cartoon

    Major Lazer have unveiled potentially their most surprising collaboration to date -- a new song titled "Bass Drop" featuring the voice of comedian and actor Andy Samberg. The track was created for the most recent episode of Major Lazer's FXX Animation Domination Cartoon and the accompanying music video takes clips from the episode.

  • Jamie Foxx and More: Ranking 2015's National Anthems at Sporting Events

    We had a realization while watching the Floyd Mayweather/Manny Pacquiao fight last night: Amid all the spectacle at the "fight of the century," the rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" turned in by Jamie Foxx was somewhat a spectacle unto itself. In fact, our national anthem can easily be converted into an overwrought piece of showmanship when handled awkwardly, and nowhere is it handled more awkwardly than at major sporting events. We decided to look at seven versions of the national anthem—from Josh Groban to Queen Latifah—from seven of the largest sporting events so far during 2015 and rank them for both talent and sincerity.
