In the lead up to the release of his autobiography, Neil Young sat down with the New York Times Magazine for a meaty, tell-all interview. Our favorite morsel? According to the rock ‘n’ roll legend, he’s quit smoking marijuana once and for all! Neil isn’t the first celebrity musician to…
For the last year and a half, Brenton Brown has been having an affair. But now it’s time to come clean. “Honestly, I’m excited,” he says, obviously relieved. “I couldn’t be more happy that it’s actually out.” No, Brenton hasn’t broken any hearts. He’s in love with a girl named…
While nobody in the United States has enough testicular fortitude to tell Chris Brown, “Hey, fuck you for beating up Rihanna back in 2009!,” the United Kingdom is a little less afraid of confrontation.

Big Poppa E went down to Biscayne Bay and rowed his way to the land of dead legends. R.I.P., dude. But his fellow musicians in Miami have banded together to raise $10,000 for a student award in his name — the Big Poppa E Music Scholarship Endowment Fund — so…
Pretty Lights is a man from Colorado. His name is Derek Vincent Smith. He makes party music. And he has built a legion of dedicated fans all around the world. His blend of hip-hop and funk with glitched-out EDM has literally changed the game. It set him apart from the…
Kanye West may be a genius, but he’s no stranger to double standards. When his “perfect bitch” drops a sex tape, it’s totally awesome and everyone should watch it over and over while gettin’ freaky. But when Yeezy himself drops a sex tape, it’s, like, the worst thing that’s ever…
Tampa rapper Money-Clipz has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for possession of over 28 grams of crack cocaine with an intent to distribute. Jeez Louise! First, they tell you that sharing is caring and then they throw you in jail for caring too much. Mixed messages, you…
He’s dressed in head-to-toe black, covered in studs with two bullet belts, a foot-long blue fan mohawk, and green paint smeared across his face like some kind of ceremonial warpaint. Then this punk leans into the microphone. And mustering an exaggerated sneer as spittle flies with each syllable, he dramatically…
Hashish will make a lady do some crazy shit. Like give her new album a 23-word title. Say, The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do. Or maybe even make a run for the Mexican…
Scream, beat freaks. The official lineup for Go Big Productions’ ultra-sexy Halloween costume party Back in Black was just announced.

What’s done is done. Steven Tyler cheated on Joe Perry with Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson. But “now it’s time to bring rock back.” And just as Tyler promised when he announced that he’d be leaving American Idol to rededicate his time to Aerosmith, the group’s been “kicking some serious…
