We're smack-dab in the middle of Summer, and to me, there are few more quintessential Summer vacations than a good old-fashioned road trip. Of course, any good road trip needs a great Playlist, and there is no shortage of songs that pay tribute to motorized wanderlust. In fact, when I made my trip cross-country several years ago, I asked all of my friends to burn mix CDs so I would have plenty Read more
A while back I posted a Death Cab for Cutie track from the new Band tribute album, Endless Highway. But Death Cab could learn a thing or two about Band covers from Kentucky rockers My Morning Jacket, who contributed their interpretation of "It Makes No Difference" to the compilation. It's fitting that MMJ should cover the perpetually touring Band, since My Morning Jacket is also incredible live, Read more
Tribute albums can be hit or miss, but the forthcoming Endless Highway: The Music of the Band sounds pretty promising. Due Jan. 30, the disc has My Morning Jacket doing "It Makes No Difference," a rendition of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" by the Allman Brothers, and this cover of "Rockin' Chair" by Death Cab for Cutie. It well preserves the integrity of the song, but Ben Gibbard's voice Read more
Like most tots, my lil ones have a bit of an obsession with bandages — one slight scrape and they're begging me to fix it up. Some of that is probably the fun characters they get to place on the boo-boo, but I have a feeling more of it has to do with the attention they receive. Imagine how they would react if it was none other than Kermit the Frog, Gonzo, or Miss Piggy calming them down? Read more
Brian Austin Green led the way for a rumored-to-be-pregnant Megan Fox in Los Feliz yesterday. The pair grabbed a bite and stuck close upon exiting the restaurant and heading back to their car. Neither Brian nor Megan have confirmed reports of her possible pregnancy, but her publicist was quick to cut an interview short when Steve Jones brought up the subject of babies. Baby talk may be off Read more
The latest preview for The Watch is here, and while the first trailer for the suburban alien-fighting comedy gave us a good look at the bromance between Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill, Vince Vaughn, and Richard Ayoade, it was lacking in plot. Now we get a look at not only the characters, but also a little bit more of the story, and we even get a peek at one of the aliens. I mean, it's dead (kind of) but Read more
It's been a long trek, American Idol watchers. Months after the initial search began, we've finally made it to finals week. If I feel this exhausted, then I can't imagine how finalists Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips feel, especially after the three performances they each had to rock before the last round of voting. As Jennifer Lopez noted tonight, our final two could not be more different. Read more
A look at Ashley Madekwe, Jessica Stroup, and Kristen Stewart's looks inspired one thought: these girls look seriously cool. The common denominator in each of their ensembles is a sweet, vintage-feeling t-shirt that takes jeans and shorts to an infinitely more awesome place. Sure, a white cotton tee or your favorite tank could top your separates just as easily, but a t-shirt that pays homage to Read more
Gwen Stefani went to the beach in Marina del Rey yesterday with her sons and No Doubt bandmates. The group got together for a seaside bash, and Gwen even arrived with presents in hand. Gwen wore heels to escort kids Zuma Rossdale and Kingston Rossdale to a party, where they let loose swimming, running, and playing on a jungle gym. Zuma and Kingston weren't the only kids there — Gwen's No Doubt Read more
