TVT: They Owe A Lot Of People A Lot Of Money

Which is why you should check out the bankruptcy-protected label's list of unsecured creditors, just to make sure that you aren't on it. For those of you who are pretty sure that you don't need cash from TeeVeeToons, Inc., there's still good reading to be had: The label owes $26,883.50 to SoundScan, and $1,300 to the now-defunct Harp, Also, their accounts payable department has apparently neglected to send a $945.46 check to Chad Kroeger for some time, and I for one would love to know why.

Self-fellating Nickelback horrorshow Chad ...

Jess Harvell — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:25:00 EDT

Self-fellating Nickelback horrorshow Chad Kroeger has reportedly been found guilty of a 2007 DUI in his native Canada. Sadly for those of you hoping this turn of events might eventually lead to a jail-assisted Kroeger reprieve, he only faces a stiff fine of $600 and the possibly of getting his wheels taken away from him, leaving him plenty of time for more, um, housebound pursuits.

Nickelback's Chad Kroeger Gives Us One More Reason To Be Jealous

Christopher R. Weingarten — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 15:15:05 EDT

Everyone knows Nickelback sucks dicks. But did you know lead sensitivo-mook Chad Kroeger used to be able to suck his own dick? And would do it for little more than a case of warm Miller Lites? Hey, I'm cool with it as long as someone else doesn't have to touch that thing. I bet it's all curly and discolored and distended like that frilly noggin of his! With a beaded necklace and a guest spot from Billy Gibbons!

I put my own dick in my mouth. I was 14 and much more flexible at the time. It was soft and required a lot of pulling. I really wanted that case of beer.

I could sit here and tell you how Nickelback's music already reminds me of dudes straining to self-pleasure themselves in front of an audience—hunched over, sweaty, flaccid, embarrassing. But I'd rather use my time to complain that there's no version of UGK's "I'm So Bad (I Can Suck My Own Dick)" on YouTube that I can link to.

The Future Of Music Videos: Do We Really Want To See Kid Rock's Pit Stains In High-Definition?

Jess Harvell — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 14:00:05 EST

As many of you already know, American television is going entirely ~~high-definition~~^* digital in 2009, which now means the opening half of this sentence has nothing to do with the technology of high-definition TV's promising us a world where we'll be able to count the nose hairs on our favorite stars in real time and without the aid of gossip blog paparazzi snaps. Maura recently converted to HD herself, and though certain music videos (she cites Justice's "D.A.N.C.E." as an example) look totally rad, the drawbacks of this industry-wise format change are already becoming apparent to music fans. It's all good when it's a luminous Rihanna strutting across that expensive plasma flat screen, but what about being confronted with Rascal Flatts at a resolution the human psyche was not intended to process? As we await our blemish-filled immediate future, please help us decide which musician will prove to be the least HD-friendly ~~when the clock strikes midnight on Dec. 31~~.

^* My unfrozen caveman's grasp of technology is why they keep me here, where I can be left alone to write about old Huey Lewis videos, rather than on Gizmodo.

Which Musical Metrosexual Can't Stop Getting His Nails Done?

This is probably the silliest Idolator blind item poll in an illustrious history of silly-ass blind item polls, especially since male beautifying is no longer so verboten as to be shocking. (I'm even shaving more than once a month now. Up next: ironing my shirts.) Nonetheless we must scratch our heads as we wonder: "Which macho crooner secretly loves manicures and pedicures? The ladies' man pretends he's off to the gym whenever he's going to get pampered." Admittedly it was the "macho" part that initially threw us, as it 86's about 95 percent of the XY chromosomes currently clogging Billboard, but we think we've come up with a few distinct possibilities and a couple of outliers.

Santana and Chad Kroeger have shot a video ...

Santana and Chad Kroeger have shot a video for their forthcoming single, "Into The Night." Can anyone confirm or deny whether or not this is a remake of the Benny Mardones song? And can someone please clock me in the head if it is a remake of said song, because seriously, there'll be nothing left of my seventh-grade favorites for 2007's popular culture to crap on?
