First State Media Group Ltd. (FSMG), a fund half-owned by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, has acquired the music publishing catalog of Sheryl Crow. No, they did not traipse down to Best Buy and pick up a copy of all her albums. They bought the publishing rights, which generate cash when the songs are used […]

Abracadabrape! (That’s What David Copperfield Is Being Sued For)
Rape accusations against celebs are a difficult thing to gauge the validity of. No one wants to call the woman a liar, but that’s the first thing that popped into my head when Anthony Anderson was accused of rape, and I was right. Ditto Kobe Bryant and Ben Roeth(sp?)lisberger. Now David Copperfield, the dorky, short, philanthropic, […]
There’s No Font for Sarcasm – Jill Sobule Doesn’t Really Think Katy Perry is a “F**king Little Slut”
First and foremost: both songs titled “I Kissed a Girl” – the one by Katy Perry and the one by Jill Sobule – are awful. The Jill Sobule version is an eye-rolling albeit ignorable 90’s one-hit wonder. Katy Perry‘s ditty is one of the worst hit songs in recent memory. Top 10 worst of its year, […]
From House Arrest to Big House: Richard Hatch Back in the Slammer
PAY. YOUR. TAXES! Also, shut up about it if you don’t. I’m getting sick of this. Just yesterday, you read Survivor‘s original winner/biggest loser Richard Hatch’s assertion that his homosexuality played as big a role in his going to jail for tax evasion as did his actual tax evasion. Well, it looks like the Rhode Island fuzz […]
EXCLUSIVE!!! Aubrey O’Day
Damn, Aubrey O’Day! You’re a tan causasian! You don’t need to be using kabuki powder as base. Not hating – you’re pretty, but pick a tone and stick with it. “Tawny” seems to be working just fine for the rest of your body. Here’s Ms. O’Day, formerly of Danity Kane and recently of this musicmogul.com […]
You Can’t Sue Paris Hilton For Evading Publicity and Win
You go, girl – Paris Hilton won’t have to cough up $8.3 million dollars to the producers of her star vehicle Pledge This!, who allege that the flick’s anemic box-office performance is the result of lackluster promotion on Paris’s part. Oh, you shady, litigious, scummy schlockmeisters – do you sincerely believe paltry publicity is the […]
John Cleese’s Bitch of an Ex-Wife Is Soaking Him for $19.7 Million
Pretty angry headline, I know, but I can’t take much more of this. As Method Man said, ““Ladies, let’s be real and shit… For real, for real, man: all you did was fuck your mans.” And he was talking about Kelis, an artist in her own right, who actually happens to have a few decent […]
Dr. Conrad Murray Thanks Non-Existent Supporters in this Unintentionally Funny Video
Boy, you can really hear it in his voice – killing Michael Jackson has turned Dr. Death’s life upside down. Conrad Murray, who took a Hippocratic oath to ethically practice medicine and then shot a man up with general anesthesia to help him get a little shut-eye every single night, took to YouTube to make […]
Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart Tape Themselves High, Naked, Wet
Get ready to hear the phrase “naked tape” enter the celebs gossip vernacular – Eric Dane, the square-headed hunky M.D. on Grey’s Anatomy (I think he plays McFlurry) and his wife, actress/kid-runner-over Rebecca Gayheart are, along with Kari Anne Peniche, the stars of a leaked home movie that shows them sitting around and talking while […]
Mad Men Should Be Happy With Latest Ratings
It looks like all those inane “Mad Men Yourself” icons that have turned Facebook into a Shag print recently worked – the show’s third season bowed to record numbers for the series – 2.8 million viewers, up 33% from last year. If they ever have a basic cable show about narcissistic emo teens, d’ya think […]
