• Creed Singer Scott Stapp Reveals He's Homeless, Broke in Shocking Video [WATCH]

    In a shocking, 16-minute video posted to his Facebook page, Creed frontman Scott Stapp debunked some rumors about him that have been circulating in the press and over the Internet, while also revealing that he has been homeless for the last few months and is currently living at a Holiday Inn. According to Stapp, his current financial situation is the result of unpaid royalties, an IRS audit and unnamed people who are stealing his money from his bank accounts."I'm sure you've heard the many rumors and slanderous, libelous accusations over the last few weeks," Stapp says at the beginning of the video. "First, I was dead ... Then there were rumors that I'm on drugs and drinking and relapsed and in rehab, all these other things. That's also a lie ... I'm sober as can be."After addressing these rumors about his sobriety, Stapp then reveals that he is "penniless" and that "there are people who have taken advantage and stolen money" from him. "They're trying to discredit me, slander me," he says. "Someone had used my information and changed my online passwords to my bank accounts and transferred all the money out of my bank accounts so I had nothing."To make matters worse, Stapp reveals that the IRS has frozen his bank accounts due to a "clerical error" and will be returning his money in "nine to 10 months," which he plans to battle in court."I'm gonna fight every single individual that is responsible for this," he says. "Right now I'm looking for an honest, good attorney that's ready to fight and take it all the way to the top."

  • The Longest Streaks in Hot 100 History: Featuring Plenty of Boyz II Men, Mariah Carey and Black Eyed Peas

    On this date during 1994, Boyz II Men stuck around for a 14th week atop the Billboard Hot 100 with its hit "I'll Make Love To You." That tally left it in a tie with Whitney Houston and "I Will Always Love You" for the most weeks on top of the Hot 100. As album sales have grown less important to the industry and single sales have become more relevant, that record has since changed hands. Check out the Top 13 songs in terms of weeks at no. 1 (mind you, there are quite a few ties...we ranked ties according to age of the song, not by how much we personally enjoyed it).

  • Wu-Tang Clan Share Title Track From Upcoming Album 'A Better Tomorrow' [LISTEN]

  • James Blake Shares Remix of Gorillaz 'Feel Good Inc.' Under Name 'Harmonimix' [LISTEN]

    On a recent Fabriclive mix posted to SoundCloud, British DJ Rich Reason included a newly unearthed James Blake remix of the Gorillaz classic "Feel Good Inc.," released under the name "Harmonimix." Though the remix is just now seeing the light of day, "Fact" reports that the track is "from back in the day," at least according to Reason.Though the original "Feel Good Inc." definitely has a danceable party vibe to it — as dark and weird as it may be — Blake's remix is much more abstract and harder to dance to, and even strips the song of its signature bass line, which may lead some to ask to the question, "Then why the hell should I even bother listening to this?"You can check out James Blake's Harmonimix remix of Gorillaz's "Feel Good Inc." here:

  • Wu-Tang Clan Perform 'Ruckus in B Minor' from 'A Better Tomorrow' on 'David Letterman' [WATCH]

    The stars were out on late night last night. Lorde made her second appearance on "The Tonight Show," this time to support the "Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1," and just a click away on CBS, Wu-Tang Clan were gearing up for the release of their new album "A Better Tomorrow" by performing "Ruckus in B Minor" on "The Late Show with David Letterman." Two-thirds of the legendary rap group stormed the late-night show with RZA, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Method Man and Cappadonna all live, while GZA, Raekwon and Ghostface Killa were unable to make it, via "David Letterman."The New York City collective showed that they still have it after more then 20 years of being together on and off. Each member takes turns delivering his verse, while Method Man anchors the tune with his gravely voice on the bridge: I can see your drawers, pull your pants up / Can't even call yourself a man until you man up / And if you call yourself a fan you need to stand up / This ain't a party, it's a jux, keep your hands up.He leads the all-inclusive hook Wu forever, and we're still number one, still number one, still number one!" that turns into chanting from each of the members.
