Want to make someone else buy you a ticket to a secret Linkin Park show, and feel good about doing it? If you raise at least $500 for Japan Tsunami Relief, you'll be invited with a guest to a private Linkin Park concert in a "small, intimate venue" in the......

Vancouver punk rockers Living With Lions just released their sophomore album today. It's called Holy Shit, is subtitled "The Poo Testament," and has liner notes that recreate the Ascension with Christ portrayed as a turd. Oh, and the album is sponsored by the Canadian government. The album is designed to......

Everytime anyone takes a newbie (particularly a lady) or an out-of-towner to legendary Hollywood bikini bar Jumbo's Clown Room, it invariably goes accompanied by the statement: "You know, this is where Courtney Love used to 'dance' back in the day." This has always been followed by some sort of mental......

Our worthy colleagues at OC Weekly dug up some blurry phone pics that show Courtney Love canoodling (yup, canoodling) with hottie actor Michael Pitt (Funny Games, The Dreamers, and that one Love & Order about that sexy psycho teen). What makes the canoodling a little odd is that Pitt played......

Snoop Dogg was a guest at the George Lopez show, where he discussed his new pal Charlie Sheen and their recent musical collaboration (documented with a much-tweeted photo): Well probably put something on Twitter in like three or four days. He's a brilliant guy. I'm having so much fun just......

The Guardian reports that Peking University in Beijing, China, "has announced plans to screen all students and identify those with 'radical thoughts' or 'independent lifestyles'": Administrators at Peking University say their focus is on helping those with academic problems. But the institution's announcement identifies nine other categories of "target students"......

Patrice "Pato" Wilson, the Nigerian-American rapper who rather incongruously pops up in the middle of Rebecca Black's epically LULZy "Friday" video, just gave a super-serious interview to our friends at the LA Times. The local paper of record (no, really--they're supposed to be that!), for some unfathomable reason, treats this......

Just a few days after being mourner-of-honor at the funeral of former associate Nate Dogg, Snoop Dogg hogged the hip-hop limelight once again by releasing all the tracks of his much-awaited album Doggumentary two days before the official release via moribund social network oddity MySpace. 10. Past the halfway mark,......
