James Franco Journeys To The End Of Taste
Mon Feb 23 2009 by Mike Barthel
It was a good night for Idolator faves at the Oscars last night. A.R. Rahman won twice, both for his original score and for the song “Jai Ho” from Slumdog Millionaire. But you know that already. You might not know about James Franco.
No. 25: John Darnielle’s “Master of Reality” And Carl Wilson’s “Let’s Talk About Love: A Journey To The End Of Taste”

Back when Continuum first announced its 33 1/3 series of short books about classic rock albums, I imagined a veritable explosion of styles and critical approaches that might emerge. Well, not exactly: though the series has included some fiction and some formal experiments, many of the books follow the same basic paths of close-reading, autobiography, or an ungainly combination thereof. But 2008’s crop includes what may be the two best titles the series will ever release—one is fiction, while the other combines close reading, autobiography, and a bit of formal experiment.
“American Idol” Hopefuls To Be Judged By Former Dave Stewart Collaborator
Mon Aug 25 2008 by Maura
Alas, I’m not talking about Annie Lennox. In an effort to bring what a Fox exec calls more “girl power” to the show, the judges’ table for the next season of American Idol will now have a Coke cup for songwriter Kara DioGuardi, who’s shared writing credits on songs including Christina Aguilera’s “Ain’t No Other Man” and Kelly Clarkson’s “Walk Away” and collaborated with Stewart on the pseudo-retro project Platinum Weird. DioGuardi, who Idol head honcho Simon Fuller called “a smart, sassy lady,” is being billed as the show’s fourth judge, which I guess means either that the judges’ table will be widened or Paula Abdul will get some time off to “rest” now and again. (One producer claims that Idol was always supposed to have four judges, although it seems strange to me that it took the executives this long to find someone who wanted the gig.) A few highlights of DioGuardi’s career after the jump.
Norah Jones Can Be The First Voice Your Baby Hears

The birth of a new child is certainly a joyous occasion, especially with the right combination of medications. And while the hospital environment can be a little stressful during the process, there are ways to ease your new child into this world with peace, joy and love. However, if you’d rather just go with a soundtrack of easy listening tracks, that option is now available as well.
The Worst Album Cover Of The Year Tournament Proves Our <s>Heart</s> Asses Will Go On
Wed Dec 5 2007 by jharv
Today’s second entry in our Anatomically Incorrect bracket pits Celine Dion’s twisty torso/lion’s-mane/shark-eyes combo against Spank Rock and Benny Blanco’s love of a greased-up rump. (If nothing else, the cover of Bangers And Cash more than makes up for Celine’s definite lack of ass.) Decide between skeletally creepy or slimily bootylicious after the jump!
Celine And Alicia Fight It Out On Target’s Shelves
Wed Nov 14 2007 by Maura
Yesterday, I wondered whether Alicia Keys or Celine Dion would top next week’s album charts, and a poll of our readers indicated a plurality of support for Ms. Almost Named Herself Alicia Wild, although a few people noted that Celine’s appearance on Oprah earlier this week would likely cinch things for the besuited French-Canadian. Anyway, last night, in the name of research (and needing a shower curtain rod), I took a trip to Target, and the music section–the only place where one can buy CDs in this particular mall–revealed some slightly surprising findings!
Celine Vs. Alicia: Which Chanteuse Will Top Next Week’s Album Chart?
Tue Nov 13 2007 by Maura
Perhaps because of their proximity to the TRL studios, where the kids have been belting out “No One” pretty regularly, MTV News seems to be under the impression that Alicia Keys’ out-today As I Am will top next week’s album charts. But that seems curious to me, given that a certain hypnotic French-Canadian diva with a big Vegas show is releasing her first English-language album in four years today. Further confusing the issue: both albums feature Linda Perry-penned songs, although sadly, Celine Dion’s album does not feature her chest-pounding take on “What’s Up.” (Maybe next time!) Anyway, it’s not 50 Cent-Kanye, but this skirmish has, at the very least, provided fodder for a good old-fashioned “which album will be No. 1 next week” poll:
