Tucked inside Michael Musto’s latest laundry list of blind items was this nugget on an ungrateful elder: “What wacky singer flinches when asked if she feels she’s influenced a current superstar? (She feels the superstar can’t really sing and therefore the question is kinda insulting.)” A current superstar who can’t sing? Oh, the humanity. Anyway, our guesses are after the jump, poll-style: MORE »

Which Artist’s Representatives Forced MTV To Spike A Column?
This week’s edition of the MTV.com column “Bigger Than The Sound” is a curious mea culpa for last week’s installment, which was a (kind of funny! and we’re not just saying that because it linked to us!) look at the idea of “anti-buzz” and how any press is conceivably good press. That piece isn’t on MTV’s site anymore, in large part because writer James Montgomery tried to start some anti-buzz by offering wild predictions about why a few artists’ next albums would be disappointing. (As Montgomery puts it, “a representative for one of the artists I singled out was unhappy — and made her feelings known to my higher-ups.”)
The piece has been erased from the collective RAM of MTV’s servers, but Google cache never forgets; as it turns out, the six artists Montgomery mentioned in the piece were Panic! At The Disco, 50 Cent, Thrice, Blake Lewis, Weezer, and Cobra Starship. So which artist’s “people” complained about the satirical suckage-prediction? Time for another poll: MORE »

Today’s New York Daily News wants to know: “Which toke-loving chart-toppers caused a security scare because they were so stoned they left behind unattended luggage at an airport?” And frankly, because no one’s been arrested, posted a public apology to Clive Davis on their Web site, or changed their album release date to 9/11 yet this morning, so do we: MORE »
