Twenty-five years ago today, Labyrinth, the fantasy film directed by Jim Henson and produced by George Lucas, first appeared on the silver screen. Now a cult classic thanks to David Bowie's musical numbers as Jareth the Goblin King and the frantic labyrinth race of an adolescent Jennifer Connelly to save her baby brother from turning into a puppet goblin.

In honor of Labyrinth's anniversary, a clip breakdown of the catchiest Jareth song, "Magic Dance." Enjoy!

The True Blood finale may have had disappointing moments, but season three was hot as ever thanks in no small part to sexy Joe Manganiello.

Check it out on PopSugar Rush!

David Bowie recently shared his iPod playlist with The Guardian (to promote his double album A Reality Tour, naturally). The mix includes tracks "Junker's Blues" by Champion Jack Dupree, "Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)" by Scritti Politti, and even some Chinese folk music. I honestly don't know who half these people are, but I'm already researching them all on iTunes.

Whenever a musician or celebrity reveals what they're listening to, I always jot down notes in the hopes of discovering a new artist or song. Take Lady Gaga, for instance — I'd love to catch a peek at the crazy stuff she listens to for inspiration. I'd also include Cameron Crowe and Jason Reitman on my iPod wish list, since their film soundtracks always prove top-notch. And if an artist has Jay-Z's stamp of approval, then the music has to be good, right?

But what about you — whose iPod would you like to hear?
