The Good
Nas and Amy Winehouse collaborate on Cherry Wine
Nas has just released the video for Cherry Wine, his collaboration with Amy Winehouse. And since Amy isn’t around to shoot videos, the rapper came up with a unique way to include her via a ghostly projection. It looks cool and it’s a lot cheaper than a Tupac hologram. Check it out.
Gorburger interviews Tegan and Sara
Who is Gorburger? As far as we can tell, he’s some kind of monster who took over a Japanese talk show by eating the existing crew. But beyond that rough exterior is a diehard Tegan and Sara fan prone to freak outs over tiny band t-shirts. Watch Gorburger grill the twins on their age, sexual preference, and opinion of Usher’s dance moves.
The Bad
Justin Bieber throws up onstage
After making the mistake of guzzling milk backstage before his concert in Arizona, Justin Bieber had to stop mid-performance and toss his cookies in front of fans. But a little barf didn’t slow the pop star down, who continued to perform. Later he tweeted his regret over his choice of beverage. If you want to see what milk looks like coming up (and really, why wouldn’t you?), we’ve got the video below.
Glenn Beck pens love letter to Muse
Glenn Beck loves Muse. He loves them so much he doesn’t care if they think he’s a right wing nut job. He’s gonna play their music loudly, no matter how uncomfortable it makes them. Because, like Braveheart, he wants FREEDOM. Thus rambled Beck in a letter to Muse front man Matt Bellamy. You can read the nonsensical rant in its entirety right here.
The Ugly
Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey scrap on American Idol
Those rumors about Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey butting heads? Turns out they’re true. A video of Minaj loosing her cool and cussing out Carey emerged this week. All we’ve got to say is, poor Keith Urban.
Billy Corgan sued by Eric Dane
McSteamy (a.k.a. actor Eric Dane) is pretty mcsteamed after a tree in his neighbor’s yard crashed into his house, nearly decapitating his pregnant wife, Rebecca Gayheart. The owner of that tree is Smashing Pumpkins front man Billy Corgan. Dane is suing Corgan for landscaping negligence. We think he should make like a tree and grow up.
