New Music: Kanye West's "Lost in the World" With Bon Iver

BuzzSugar — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 15:30:29 PDT

I'm officially excited for Kanye West's new album, Dark Twisted Fantasy, coming this Fall. I've liked each song he's released more than the last, from "Power" to "See Me Now" to his big VMA spotlight of "Runaway," and the pattern is holding strong with his latest. Titled "Lost in the World," it samples one of my favorite indie bands, Bon Iver, and the result is sonic hotness. Hipster cred aside, the infectious beat and chorus make me think it'll be the next big single to blow up the radio. Listen to it now and decide for yourself when you

Buzz Gift Guide: The Best of 2008 For Guys

BuzzSugar — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 07:00:36 PST

Welcome back to my Buzz Gift Guide series for all the entertainment lovers in your life. Yesterday I entertained myself, actually, by sorting through all the great pop culture-related t-shirts I'd love to get for the men in my life, and today I'm tackling a bigger project for the guys: the best in music, books, TV, and movies of 2008.

Now, this is by no means a definitive list of the best entertainment stuff that came this year. These are simply gift ideas that I think the lads will like. For example, I think the best piece of writing to come from a TV show this year has to be the tome by How I Met Your Mother's Barney Stinson: The Bro Code. The product description cracks me up:

Historically a spoken tradition passed from one generation to the next, the official code of conduct for Bros appears here in its published form for the first time ever. By upholding the tenets of this sacred and legendary document, any dude can learn to achieve Bro-dom.

It was also a great year for movies, and I'd be hard-pressed to think of a guy in my life who wouldn't be thankful to receive The Dark Knight and Hellboy 2 on DVD. As for TV in '08, I honestly don't know many guys who haven't given the FX comedy It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia a chance yet, and my friends who are uber-fans will be gifted the show's DVDs this year. Finally, in regard to music, I know a lot of dudes who are really into the Bon Iver album released this year (me too!) as well as new music from The Hold Steady.

I've included several other ideas below so scroll through to check them out!

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Season 3 ($20.99)	The Chris Farley Show: A Biography in Three Acts ($16.78)
Bro Code By Barney Stinson ($12.98)	The Dark Knight ($23.99)
For Emma, Forever Ago: Bon Iver ($11.49)	Stay Positive: The Hold Steady ($12.99)
Brighter Than Creation's Dark: Drive-By Truckers ($14.99)	Dear Science: TV on the Radio ($11.49)	Hellboy II: The Golden Army ($21.99)

Russell Brand and Katy Perry Split

Katie Henry — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 14:07:10 PST

Russell Brand has filed to divorce Katy Perry in LA today citing irreconcilable differences. He confirmed the news in a statement, saying, "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends." Katy was spotted without her wedding ring while vacationing in Hawaii on Christmas with friends. Meanwhile, Russell was also seen without his wedding band over the holidays in the UK.

Katy resumes touring Jan. 19 in Jakarta, and from there she moves on to Manila before returning to the States for the Feb. 12 Grammy Awards. Katy incorporated video from her top-secret Indian wedding to Brand during last year's Grammy performance while belting out a medley of her hits. She's once again nominated and will face off against Adele, Bon Iver, Bruno Mars, and Mumford & Sons for record of the year.

Stealing Snapshots at Rock Poster Artist Frida Clements's Home

Elka Karl — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 13:00:42 PST

I've been obsessed with Seattle artist Frida Clements's work for some time now. Her style, which encompasses art nouveau-inspired as well as nature-based imagery, looks gorgeous when it's illustrating gig posters for some of my favorite bands, including Bon Iver, Joanna Newsom, Rufus Wainwright, and Spoon, among many others.

When I visited Seattle recently, I asked Frida if I could pop in to take some photos of her home and home studio. She graciously agreed, and when I arrived, I was treated to a warm, cozy, and lovely home dotted with art and nostalgic remembrances. Keep reading to get a peek at Frida's home, as well as her studio.

Announcing the 2012 Grammy Award Nominations

Rose Curiel — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 07:51:21 PST

For the second year in a row, the Recording Academy has given a hip-hop artist the most Grammy nominations. Last year, it was rapper Eminem with eight, and this year, Kanye West leads the nominees with seven chances at the golden gramophone, including a song of the year nod for "All of the Lights." West is also nominated twice in the rap album of the year category for his collaboration with Jay-Z on Watch the Throne and his own album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Brit crooner Adele wasn't far behind Kanye, picking up six nominations for her album 21, as well as a shot at song of the year with "Rolling in the Deep."

Bruno Mars also did well, racking up six nominations (that's down one from last year for those keeping track), while newcomers like Nicki Minaj and dubstep artist Skrillex are up for the best new artist category. See what other artists have a chance of walking away with a Grammy during the February 12 award show when you read more

Pre-Fashion Week Profile: Rebecca Minkoff Shares Her FNO Plans, Favorite Fall Outfit, and More

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 13:24:36 PDT

Next up for our pre-Fashion Week profile is designer and adorable mother-to-be Rebecca Minkoff. The designer - whose bags and clothing have been spotted on Jayma Mays, Lauren Conrad, and Whitney Port - took time out of her busy schedule to chat with us about her guilty pleasures, Fashion's Night Out plans, and even divulged a little info about a special surprise for her Spring '12 collection. Listen up to what she has to say now.

Guilty pleasure during Fashion Week: I'm oh so pregnant this season, so my goal is for the energy around me to remain very laid back and business as usual, as much as possible. I don't plan on indulging in anything and I fully intend on getting plenty of sleep. I'm kind of boring this time around!

Fashion's Night Out plans: I'll be at Saks Fifth Avenue hosting a Hair Braiding Bar with The Man Repeller. She's so much fun and my customers always bring enormous enthusiasm and excitement to FNO, so it's guaranteed to be a good time!

Surprises for Spring '12: I'm unveiling a few brand-new categories that I'm so proud of and excited for everyone to see. But for now, mum's the word, so I guess you'll have to wait and see.

See Rebecca's Spring '12 color inspiration, read what she has to say about her Fall uniform, and more.
