Jennifer Lopez Nip Slip Debate Rages: Was There Nipple at The Oscars, or Not?

Best Posts Of The Week

​We've got nothing but love for Heavy D, who died this week at his Beverly Hills home. Dan Hyman wrote a touching memorial for a man who was a pioneer of the hip-hop/R&B hybrid.

Legal Marijuana Users in California Can't Buy Guns, Federal Gov Says

If you legally use medical marijuana in California the federal government has just revoked your constitutional right to bear arms. In other words, if you use weed, forget about buying a gun. Well, enforcement is another matter (more on that below). You see, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Fir ... More >>

Top Ten Greatest Videos from TRL's Heyday

​MTV turns 30 this week, and on Monday we spotlighted the five '90s shows the channel should bring back. The end of that decade, of course, saw the rise of Total Request Live, which kicked off in 1998, by which point MTV had long succumbed to the domination of reality shows. Part of TRL's appe ...

The Conga Room Debuts Downtown, and It's a Beautiful Thing

The first thing that becomes painfully obvious as I arrive last night for the grand opening of The Conga Room, another new space at the L.A. Live complex downtown, is that I'm woefully under-dressed. What was I thinking? This isn't the reopening of the Snorkle Room or the Loser Room, this is the fr ... More >>

20. Jens Lekman-Night Falls Over Kortedala [Secretly Canadian] On first listen, Jens Lekman reminds you of Morrissey.

And I'm Telling You...

Thank god for Andre Leon Talley. After enduring E!s super-geeky/freaky coverage of the Oscars red carpet last night, we switched over to ABC's own, and the Vogue columnist was definitely a breath of fresh air, talking fashion and film in a fabulous way that only a flamboyant gay man can.

Ryan Seacrap flaps & flashes

I can take him on American Idol, but when E!'s golden boy gets on the red carpet the verbal diarhea is downright embarrasing.

The Problem With Oscar

First of all, the Academy Awards started at 3, and that means drinking started at 3 and so last night was a very long night.
