Lady Gaga and 15 Other Musicians Who Have Guest Starred On ‘The Simpsons’
I suppose it was inevitable: Lady Gaga just finished recording her lines for an appearance she’ll be making on The Simpsons. Though apparently it was a little nerve-wracking for her– singing does not equal voiceovers, apparently– she seems pretty psyched about it; she told EW, “My dad’s probably going to do 80 backflips when the episode comes out.” Which, by the way, will be the spring of 2012 with the episode “Lisa Goes Gaga.” But as you may well know, The Simpsons has a long and storied history of rendering not just actors and comedians, but also musicians in animated form. Though tuest-his is by no means a comprehensive list, here’s a guide to some of the more entertaining choices of musicians who have guest-starred on The Simpsons. More »

Crushable Books: Taboo’s ‘Fallin’ Up: Keep It On the Positive’
Taboo (real name: Jaime Gomez) is best known as “the guy in the Black Eyed Peas who isn’t Will.I.Am and kind of dresses like Neo from The Matrix.” So when a copy of his memoir, Fallin’ Up, landed on my desk, my immediate reaction was “Why?” But reading the book has given me some insight into who Taboo is and actually made me respect him. While his own story is interesting – he grew up Latino in East L.A., had a kid young, and met his future BEP bandmates when they were doing rap and B-boy battles – it’s, sadly, the parts of his book about other celebrities that are the most interesting.

Jimmy Kimmel’s Sarah Silverman Dig
We thought Jimmy Kimmel’s latest viral video attempt, “Handsome Men’s Club,” where a bunch of Hollywood’s hottest dudes hang out and talk about how handsome they are (this isn’t a real thing?), was cute. Then we realized that it was a thinly veiled dig at ex Sarah Silverman, who said recently that Jimmy never called her pretty during the seven years they dated, and things got a whole lot more interesting.
The video itself drags on a little too long –… More »

George Clooney Organizing Haiti Benefit Event
Not only is actor George Clooney one of the most handsome men in the universe (just my opinion…), but he’s also a humanitarian. He’s worked very hard to raise awareness for the issues in Darfur and is the main reason most of us learned what was happening there.
Now, with the horror that’s still happening in Haiti following Tuesday’s earthquake, George is organizing other celebrities to help with aid for the victims there…. More »

I don’t know about you, but I’m thrilled that The Police are together again. Don’t get me wrong, I love Sting alone, but the group is wonderful too.
