• Luke Bryan Misses 'CMT Artists of the Year' Ceremony After Family Death, Lady Antebellum Pays Tribute with 'Drink a Beer' [WATCH]

    Luke Bryan suffered a tough loss last week after his brother-in-law passed away at the age of 46. Ben Lee Cheshire was married to Bryan's cousin Kelly, who died in 2007. The country community gathered Tuesday night (Dec. 2) for the CMT Artists of the Year ceremony to honor this year's biggest stars, but Bryan was home in Georgia with his family. Honorees Jason Aldean and Keith Urban mentioned Bryan throughout the ceremony, and Lady Antebellum played a touching tribute for the grieving superstar with his hit "Drink a Beer."

  • The Wrens Finish First Album in 12 Years; Dropping In 2015

    The tagline on The Wrens' website reads "keeping people waiting since 1989." That's a tongue-in-cheek allusion to the fact that the group tends to prolong things between albums. They spent seven years between 1996's 'Secaucus' and 2003's indie darling, 'The Meadowlands.' But that gap pales in comparison to the current one, which will reach 12 years in 2015. Good news, though: Frontman Charles Bisell says the new record is finally finished.

  • Ariana Grande is Finally Being Taken Seriously and She's Pumped

    If you think Ariana Grande doesn't realize how quickly she ascended to the top of the pop game, you're mistaken. The 21-year-old former Disney Channel star was recently named a Billboard Women In Music Honoree, and she spoke about her meteoric rise and how it has "blown her mind."

    Following the leak of his latest album 2014 Forest Hills Drive yesterday, J. Cole has shared a video for the opening track "Intro." The clip shows Cole riding around New York City on his bike, reflecting on how his life was much simpler back when money and success were just a dreams.

  • Billy Corgan Talks Kurt Cobain, Nirvana: "He Really Was That Talented"

    Billy Corgan is one of the oddest survivors of the grunge era — too much of a black sheep to fit snugly into the '90s revival circuit, yet earnest enough to still try and make music people will like. He recently spent much of an interview talking about former rival, Kurt Cobain.

  • James Franco, Nicki Minaj Channel 'Peter Pan Live!' in 'Saturday Night Live' Promos [WATCH]

    Whether or not you want to forget or relive NBC's Peter Pan Live! from last night, James Franco and Nicki Minaj aren't about to let you forget. The The Interview actor and the "All Things Go" rapper are teaming up this weekend as the respective host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live and they're channeling a bit of the boy who never grows up in their new promos.

  • Label Splits Far More Intense Than Current Lil Wayne Drama: Dr. Dre and Death Row, The Game and G-Unit and More

    Depending on how much faith you put in social media, it seems Lil Wayne is hellbent to get away from Cash Money Records due to the label allegedly refusing to release his Tha Carter V. Depending on how much faith you put in statements from management, it seems that Weezy won't be jumping ship. We're more inclined to believe the latter...after all, Cash Money kind of owns Wayne's personal label Young Money. Regardless, there have been uglier splits than this is the history of hip-hop. Here are a few of the most dramatic:
