We get it. The Simpsons are an iconic American bunch. But maybe it’s time to say goodbye. The Internet’s buzzing with news that Fox executives are threatening to pull the plug on the long-running Sunday-night cartoon if the show’s six main voice actors don’t agree to a 45-percent pay cut…
All was well and good at an Atlanta nightclub this weekend until Sean “Diddy” Combs spotted some dude drinking Grey Goose at his Cîroc sponsored party. “Put that shit down,” he yelled, “you in my house.” Since 2007, Diddy’s been moonlighting as a premium vodka spokesperson, pouring Cîroc down our…
Pop music should have no place in professional sports. But for reasons we’ll never understand, the National Football League has a hard-on for Top 40 music. After a string of solid rock acts, the NFL butchered halftime with the Black Eyed Peas last year. And rumor has it, they’re ready…
Guatemalan blues. No, that’s not right. Bilingual bossa nova. Eh, it sounds fun. But it doesn’t quite capture it all. OK, We think we’ve got it. We’ll call it music. Better yet, damn good music. After all, a word that accurately describes Gaby Moreno’s eclectic blend of ’20s and ’30s…
The absolute greatest TV news magazine, 60 Minutes, will lose its long-time resident curmudgeon on Sunday when Andy Rooney delivers his final original essay–his 1,097th.

Three days after Fergie’s Miami Dolphins embarrass themselves by losing to the Buffalo Bills at Sun Life Stadium, the pee-pee-pants pop star will join her Black Eyed Peas bros, will.i.am, Taboo, and apl.de.ap for the group’s final show of 2011 at the Miami Gardens house Joe Robbie built. We hear…
Hello, weekend. What a relief that you’re finally here. This has been a miserable work week, and we’re so looking forward to disconnecting for the next few days. But not to sound like a broken record, our funds are dwindling. The available balance in our checking account is less than…
England’s favorite frumpy, never-been-kissed, feel-good-story of 2009 has a new album, Someone to Watch Over Me, dropping November 1. And it’s generating mad buzz with the 55-to-70-year-old demographic. Susan Boyle’s new record will feature a sweet blend of slow jams ranging from Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” to Depeche Mode’s…
Evidently, professional SAT test-takers make a hell of a lot more money than overworked Cultist bloggers. Sure it’s illegal, but boy is it lucrative. A 19-year-old Emory University student was hired by six Long Island high school students to take their SATs between 2009 and this year. Sam Eshaghoff was…
Gloria Estefan. We’ve never met her, but we know Miss Little Havana well. Maybe too well. She’s like Miami’s really cool tía, the type of woman that never raises her voice and has an infectious laugh. But like our favorite aunt, sometimes she says shit that fucks up our heads…
Cultist doesn’t follow many rules, but we are adamant about one: under no circumstances will we participate in more than one zombie walk per year. Needless to say, October 2011 is going to be quite stressful. Two kickass zombie events are happening next month. Zombie Walk Miami is going down…
In A-Trak news… The Canadian DJ’s going to be dropping electro dance beats at LIV next month, about a month before he takes his act to New Orleans as a featured performer at this year’s Voodoo Experience Music Festival. Unfortunately, one of his longtime friends and frequent collaborators won’t be…

Let’s get wild and reconcile with our freaky side, the Midwest’s illest rap crew, The Cool Kids, are bringing heavy beats and dope lyrics to Eve next month on Sunday, October 23. Chuck Inglish and Sir Michael Rocks broke onto the scene the way so many groups do these days…
Hypothetically speaking, would y’all get mad if Rihanna took her top off –for the sake of art — on your property? Neither would we. But for one Irish farmer, the 23-year-old superstar’s boobs were too much to handle. Rihanna was on a Bangor, Ireland wheat farm yesterday filming naughty bits…
Topping the list of artists we’d never expect to see at the Fillmore Miami Beach, Korn just announced a November 9 engagement at the house Jackie Gleason Live Nation built.

Sandwiched between The Script’s Science & Faith Tour and Ballet Etudes presents Giselle: A Gala in Honor of Dagmar Moradillos, the Fillmore Miami Beach continues its eclectic lineup with a Grammy-winning rock en Español superstar.

OK, on three, blurt out your favorite musical genre. One… Two… Three… Mexican emo soft rock! OMG, we’re twins. We’ll totally be running into one another at the Fillmore Miami Beach when Camila rolls through town next month. Remember the trio’s magical performance at this year’s Billboard Latin Music Awards?…
Odd Future Records had zero intention of ever signing anyone. Period. But when the opportunity to lock down Young Nigga came about, the L.A.-based crew couldn’t help but offer the dude a deal. That’s right … OFWGKTA has signed an outsider. A press release sent out moments ago states: “While…
Yesterday, we posed a simple question: Should we all forgive Chris Brown for slugging Rihanna and spewing homophobic slurs? One commenter, Linda Green, told us we look like the “the biggest clown in town,” and suggested we “get of [sic] chris [sic] dick.” Solea74 was also quick to voice an…
