This isn’t the first time you’ve seen Rihanna’s boobs. And it probably won’t be the last. RiRi has stripped down and freaked out an Irish farmer. She’s flashed her nipple rings in public.

Kanye West … The dude’s obviously troubled. And according to at least two exes, he’s got an awfully violent temper. If the rumors are true, Kim Kardashian may be dating a physically abusive mental case with a dangerously short fuse and a celebrity porn obsession. Worst of all, she is…
J. Nics has the kind of voice that always sounds cool. Gravelly and guttural, it’s as forceful and blunt as it is smooth and soothing. Fortunately, the rapper (appropriately nicknamed “Polar Bear Mack”) has something to say. The acronymic title of his latest mixtape, SNAS: The Product, stands for “Southern…

Music videos are the ultimate promotional tool. Sometimes they tell a story. Sometimes they bring the concert into our homes. And sometimes they just slam us in the face with superfast editing and more erratic, bright lights than is medically advisable. Everyone knows the best vids come with a surgeon…
