Beyoncé’s ‘Single Ladies’ And 10 Other Reasons Why The-Dream Is An R&B/Hip-Hop Triple Threat

Throwback Thursday Wants Me To Semi-Reconcile With The-Dream
Posted by: Shannon on May 16, 2013| 7 Comments

Disclaimer: I do not like Terius The-Dream Nash. We all have that one celebrity who rubbed us the wrong way that one time and we just never got over it. Look, I’m not even a big Christina Milian fan. Never bought an album (but do love Dip It Low), but for some reason I got reeeallly mad at The-Dream when he cheated on her, and they got divorced! I don’t know what it was, but I was just kinda done with him after that. Even now, when I hear one of his new songs I always, first, roll my eyes before fully listening to the track, lol. But after I found out that he produced that new Kelly Rowland song that I will never, ever get over and also played a big part in getting Kelly to actually share those powerful stories, I thought it was time to give some props where props are due. As a singer, songwriter, and producer, The-Dream is a triple threat in both R&B and Hip-Hop and–let’s be honest– his music makes for a pretty dope jam session. Click inside for some of your favorite songs, brought to you in part (or in full) by The-Dream!

Posted by: Trent on May 16, 2013| 2 Comments

Back in February we learned from Trent Reznor himself that Nine Inch Nails was being reformed for an extensive upcoming world tour and at the time, he announced that former Jane’s Addiction member Eric Avery would be NIN‘s new touring bassist. Avery spent most of last year and part of this year touring the world with Garbage and, as a result, has ultimately decided that he cannot commit to hitting the road again with NIN. This is such bummer news ‘cuz Avery is among the most talented bass players around but, honestly, I understand.

‘True Blood’ Season 6 Releases A First Promo Poster

Even the Dead Can Die
Posted by: Trent on May 16, 2013| 1 Comment

Earlier this month we got our first look at the first promo trailer for the forthcoming 6th season of True Blood on HBO. Today we get to see the newly released first poster for the upcoming season and as you can see below, the poster reminds us that no one lives forever … not even immortal vampires. As you can see in the trailer that was released previously, it would appear that things will get mighty dicey for the vamps in the new season of True Blood. This poster seems to suggest that one or more of our favorite supernatural characters might not make it out alive. More »

SMG back on TV

Back in January we learned that Sarah Michelle Gellar is making her return to network TV. In February, we learned she signed on to do a sitcom with comedian Robin Williams and in April we saw a cute photo of SMG and Williams fooling around on the set of their new CBS show The Crazy Ones.

Check out the embed above to see scenes from the show, interviews with some of the cast and behind the scenes action from the set.

Movie Review: ‘Star Trek: Into Darkness’

The TV Guide
Posted by: Trent on May 16, 2013| 3 Comments

Last night I attended an early sneak peek showing of Star Trek: Into Darkness at 9PM because, honestly, I didn’t want to wait until midnight to see the film. I managed to stay away from all spoilers and I didn’t read a single review before I saw the movie because I wanted to judge it for myself. As soon as I saw the movie for myself and formed my own opinion, I was very surprised to learn how much the New York Times hated it (not to mention io9). While the film, like all movies, has its flaws, I’m happy to say that I enjoyed it very much. While I don’t think it is better than the first JJ Abrams-directed Star Trek film, I did like it enough to want to see it again. More »

First Listen: Carly Rae Jepsen Releases A New Single Titled ‘Take A Picture’

Carly's Crowdsourced Single Is OUT!
Posted by: Trent on May 16, 2013| 4 Comments
"I take a picture of you / Taking a picture of me"

Carly Rae Jepsen is back with a new single that was created with a little crowdsourcing help from the Coca-Cola Perfect Harmony program … or something like that, I’m not entirely sure of the details but they seem irrelevant to the fact that OMG CARLY RAE JEPSEN IS BACK WITH A NEW SINGLE! Jepsen debuted her new single Take A Picture on American Idol last night but in case you missed it (or want to hear it again and again) you can hear the song in full above. I dig the song but I think it’ll take a few more listens before I decide whether I’m in love with it or not. Do try to not pay attention to the lyrics, it may aid in your enjoyment of the song. Give is a spin and let me know … is this new Carly Rae track a hit or a miss?

If you like, Coca-Cola is giving the song away for FREE download HERE until tomorrow.
