Somebody Please Have Sex With Sinead O’Connor
When was the last time you thought of Sinead O’Connor? Was it the nineties? Because the Irish pop star who launched a thousand buzz clippers has grown up into quite the fine 44-year-old lady since then, and apparently, also a super duper horny one. More »
Head-Scratching Press Release: MTV Holding Auditions For ‘Young’ ‘Musicians’
We got this MTV press release through a Deli Magazine email, which is odd for several reasons. First, Deli is a music magazine, and MTV doesn’t play music. Secondly, what is an indie mag doing blasting a PR announcement for another company to all its subscribers? Weird.
Oh wait, this is music-related! Sort of! MTV is looking for musicians and “music enthusiasts” to participate in an open casting call. They are very specific about what they are looking for! But also very vague! Here’s the press release, with our thoughts bolded. More »
How Not to Get Laid: Bad Jokes
In college I dated a bassist for a metal band (which I stupidly let practice at my house every week), who once told me this joke: “What do you call a bassist without a girlfriend? Homeless.” Over time, I’ve realized you can basically insert any instrument and have that joke remain the same (except for the lead singer, those dudes are never homeless, and usually don’t have girlfriends because, d’uh, they are a lead singer in a band).
After last night… More »
5 Guys Pop Culture Tells You to Date (But You Really Shouldn’t)
On Monday we showed you that sometimes Hollywood gets it wrong in terms of judging guys by their covers, or at least by their job title. Not every lawyer is a scumbag, not every politician will sleep with a prostitute, and not every finance guy is Gordon Gekko from Wall Street.
But did you know it works the opposite way too? Turns out a bunch of screenwriters got together one day and decided that every underdog or diamond in the rough… More »
Anonymous Celebrity: Songstress Emii
Singer Emii — real name, Emily Morris — has been working it since a young age. She first got a taste of performing live in New York as a young teen shuttling back and forth with her dad from her hometown of Youngstown, Ohio, and moved to the Big City as soon as she turned 18, crashing in her aunt’s tiny apartment and working in a comic book shop between gigs.
“It’s always just been something that’s come very naturally… More »
Exclusive Video: John Legend Gives The ‘Green Light’
Last night, Crushable watched John Legend perform some stripped-down versions of his songs at the NFL Draft Eve party. With nothing more than a piano and a mic, John performed “Green Light” and we snagged an exclusive video clip:

Chris Brown whines about stores not stocking his new album
As if we didn’t need any further proof that Chris Brown has a bit of an anger problem, now he’s using his Twitter account to whine and moan about various retailers not stocking his new album. WAHHHHHHHH!!!!
Here’s what his Twitter said:
Shoot, I don’t know, Chris….maybe it’s just that your album is CRAP? Not any kind of big conspiracy? Yeah, that would make too much sense.

No lamb for Lady Gaga on the X-Factor, says Simon Cowell
I think we all know by now that Lady Gaga is nuts super creative, and one of her big requests for her appearance on the X-Factor was lots of fluffy lambs and hundreds of butterflies floating around the stage. You know, normal stuff.
Simon Cowell, who actually thought it was kind of a cool idea, nixed it because of health and safety issues. So she’s going to settle for loads of half-naked guys prancing around with their butt cheeks… More »
Jay-Z spills the beans: they’re ready for a baby
Jay-Z and Beyonce might be ready for a baby?
Apparently Jay-Z spilled the beans accidentally in interview; here’s what he had to say (kind of):
While chatting up Gotham mag editor in chief Cristina Greeven Cuomo, the rapper let it slip that procreating is high on the duo’s priority list right now.
Yeah, that’s all the specifics I have right now, but Beyonce has made it pretty clear that she’s not in a hurry.

Has Steven Tyler quit Aerosmith?
Now, I’m hoping this isn’t true, but rumor has it that Steven Tyler has quit Aerosmith.
Here’s what fellow band member Joe Perry had to say about it:
“Steven quit as far as I can tell,” Perry said from his Boston home. “I don’t know anymore than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don’t know for how long, indefinitely or whatever…. More »

Joaquin Phoenix says that he is done with acting
var iamInit = function() {try{initIamServingHandler(320,441,226919,”http://pis.picapp.com/IamProd/Resources/Css/css2.css”)}catch(ex){}}()In an interview yesterday with Extra, Joaquin Phoenix decided to lay a bomb:
“I want to take this opportunity…to give you the exclusive … that this will be my last performance as an actor… I’m not doing films anymore.”
Probed further by “Extra’s” Jerry Penacoli, “Are you serious?” Phoenix, who was curiously being followed by his own camera crews, reiterated, “Yeah. I’m working on my music. I’m done. I’ve been through that.” – source

Heart to John McCain: No, you can’t use my song!
Did you watch the Republican convention last night? Do you remember this part?
Yep, that was Heart’s classic “Barracuda” playing. My 14 year old was the first one to pick it out (thank you Guitar Hero!) and we both had a long discussion on how there was NO WAY that the GOP got permission to play that song. Turns out we were right! Here’s Heart’s official response:
the Wilsons condemned the usage, adding that Universal Music Publishing and Sony BMG have sent… More »
Johnny Depp is the director AND star of lover Vanessa Paradis’s new music video
Honestly, if I was around Johnny Depp all day, I’d probably giggle myself into a drooling stupor. Does this woman know how insanely lucky she is? And how awfully jealous millions of women the world over are of her right now?
Anyway, Vanessa has a new video for her song “L’incendie”, which means “the fire” in English. It’s from her new album “Divine Idylle.” In the video, we see Vanessa singing on stage alone while a man (presumably Depp) watches… More »
New Gnarls Barkley video “Run” has been banned from MTV UK because it might cause seizures
Well, this is weird! Apparently, the new Gnarls Barkely video titled “Run” had to be banned from MTV because it failed the Harding Index, a set of tests to see if a video or show will cause seizures. Yep – there is apparently such a thing in place, who knew? Anyway, here’s the banned video – obviously, if you have problems with seizures, don’t watch it, okay?
UPDATE: This is based on a misinformed story that ran on Billboard saying that… More »
Yes, I shall have the morning gossip, thank you
Good morning, Snarkarinos! Hope you all had a good night’s sleep and are ready to be all peppy and shit. Me, I went on a 3 mile walk this morning and I am FEELING IT. Hopefully it will cancel out the six Girl Scout Samoas I had last night while watching the Oscars.
Anyway, on to the goss! First, obviously the Oscars were last night. Here are some of my favoritest dresses.

RIP Evel Knieval, Will Smith, Heath and Lindsay an item, Halle Berry diamonds, Spice Girls world tour, and more
Oh my GOSH, you guys! It’s SNOWING where I live! We’ve already been out catching snowflakes on our tongues all morning; I just can hardly stand it. Of course it usually turns to rain but until it does…sqweeeeee!
Also, I watched 300 last night for the first time. Yes, I’m aware that everyone else in the free world has already seen this movie, but hey. I was prepared for a disgusting gore fest, but it actually wasn’t that bad – and… More »
Rolling Stones announce their retirement (yeah right)
Another retirement annoucement form the Rolling Stones – I’ll believe they’re retired when they start wearing Depends and yelling at young whippersnappers to get off their damn lawns. But that’s probably happening already – I bet you anything that Keith and Mick share their Viagra stash – they probably paid some scientist to supercharge it for them or something. Retirement my ass.
The veteran rockers are believed to have declared that their current ‘A Bigger Bang Tour’ will be their… More »
The White Stripes play a one-note show
Hope nobody paid for this:
Okay, here’s the blurb:
One Note Secret Show on George Street, St. John’s, Newfoundland Canada.
To clear up confusion, this wasn’t their only show in St. John’s, and it was free.
They put on an incredible show later on that night. Whether you think this was stupid or not, most of the fans on the street thought it was hilarious, and were glad to be a part of it.
Still, all that setup took a long time…personally, if I was… More »
Rolling Stones earn $67K a MINUTE in a private gig
The mind boggles:
THE ROLLING STONES played an intimate gig for 500 bankers in Spain – and were paid $5.4 million (GBP2.7 million) for their private stage show. The rockers’ two year A Bigger Bang tour is said to be one of the longest and highest grossing ever, having pulled in over $436 million (GBP218 million) to date. But that didn’t stop the musicians supplementing their income with an 80-minute set at a party organised by Deutsche Bank in the Catalan… More »
