Morrissey may be a musician but he's a vegetarian first, apparently. He gave late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel an ultimatum to choose either him or the stars of Duck Dynasty, an A&E reality show about a family of duck hunters. "As far as my reputation is concerned, I can't take the risk of being on a show alongside people who, in effect, amount to animal serial killers," he said in a ... [Read More]

Outback Steakhouse shrewdly parodies the classic Christmas carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas" with this singing leftovers commercial. Unlike typical anthropomorphic food commercials, "The 12 Days of Leftovers" doesn't want you eat talking food. In fact, it makes leftovers as unappetizing as possible by using disgusting descriptions like "fuzzy," "slimy" and "icky" for the funky looking food. ... [Read More]

The dysfunctional family includes two deceptively cute boys, who are very naughty causing mayhem and mischief ... [Read More]

%CODE1%Islands' catchy song "Hallways" just got a little more memorable with the release of the music video. It's co-directed by Lex Halaby & puppeteer Toben Seymour and features the band’s singer-songwriter Nick Thorburn performing with, and then joining, an exuberant band of skeleton musicians.

Kids are listening to more music than ever, an average of 2.5 hours a day, and researchers at Brigham Young University think it's corrupting their young impressionable minds with sexually explicit lyrics.

Aimi Eguchi seemed to come out of nowhere. The 16-year-old went from "trainee" in the Japanese idol group AKB48 to spokesmodel for Glico candy. Too good to be true. Aimi is actually a computer-generated composite of 6 of the group's most attractive members. Glico released a video showing the face tracking software used to create Aimi, along with an online idol maker but the results are on ... [Read More]

You probably know Jon Fratelli, whether you realize it or not, from his work with The Fratellis. The band literally had commercial success with hits like "Chelsea Dagger" and "Flathead" which were featured in Safeway & iPod ads, respectively. Roger Daltrey praised, “They remind me of The Who when we were starting out in the ’60s. The same vibe, and great songs.” Like Daltrey, Jon ... [Read More]

Lots of stores sell holiday albums, but Target actually made their own! The store chain commissioned 14 original Christmas songs. But these aren't some short 30 second jingles made just for TV spots. The Christmas Gig 2010 album features full-length songs complete with their own music videos. Granted they're just static shots of a red record playing on a turntable, but it beats the yule ...

Jackass 3D has broken all kinds of  records, not just for the biggest October opening, but also for being the first movie I've seen in the theater since Deep Blue Sea (1999) and the first 3D movie that didn't need red and blue glasses. If ever there was a movie made for 3D, it's Jackass. However, there's a great introduction by the original jackasses, Beavis and Butthead, that masterfully ... [Read More]

Katy Perry has cleaned up the lyrics of her single "Hot N Cold" to sing a duet with Elmo but it seems the G-rated version was still too hot for Sesame Street, or at least moms, who complained Perry showed too much cleavage. Sesame Workshop has pulled the segment saying, "In light of the feedback we've received on the Katy Perry music video which was released on YouTube only, we have ... [Read More]
