Patrick Stump Discusses His Funky Solo Album And His Hatred Of Tweeting
4:11 PM on Wed Feb 10 2010 by Becky Bain
We got a video sneak peak of Patrick Stump's solo effort, and now the smooth, golden-throated vocalist is openly discussing his forthcoming album. Stump recently chatted with Spin magazine to discuss songs ("As Long As I Know I'm Getting Paid," a lengthy song title Pete Wentz couldn't have penned it better himself), his influences (which range from Prince to Conan O'Brien), and his distate for Twitter. Highlights from the interview below. More »

The Morning Mix: Lady Gaga Inks A Message For Her Little Monsters
5:34 AM on Wed Feb 3 2010 by Becky Bain
Lady Gaga isn't just paying lip service to her little monsters when she says she loves nothing more than her fans; she uploaded a twitpic of her brand new "Little Monsters" tattoo "on the arm that holds my mic... so proud." We're just happy she didn't get the face of the raunchy creature from the 1989 gross-out kiddie flick "Little Monsters" tattooed on her body for all eternity. Whew.

:: So much for it being just a hiatus. Patrick Stump tells Spin, "I'm not in Fall Out Boy right now" and Pete Wentz tweets "I can't imagine playing with FOB again." Thnks fr th mmrs, fellas. [Spin]
:: Lest anyone think Pink faked her way through her high-and-not-so-dry performance of "Glitter In The Air" on the Grammys, the singer addressed such scurrilous rumors on Twitter: "I have never lip synched [sic] in my entire life. I'm 100% against it." [@Pink]

Patrick Stump Preparing A (Shhh) Solo Album
4:31 PM on Thu Jan 28 2010 by Becky Bain
We're currently freaking out over this and severely annoyed about this, but at least there's a little ray of sunshine in the music world today: Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump is heeding our advice and preparing his first stand-alone album. (He'd really love it if we didn't use the term "solo.")

The Decade’s Top 10 Pop Star Guest Appearances On ‘The Simpsons’
1:19 PM on Mon Dec 28 2009 by Becky Bain
Twenty-one seasons in, The Simpsons continues to shine as a beacon of smart, funny TV. But it is also one of our favorite cultural fun-house mirrors, and we'd be remiss if we didn't spend a moment looking back on the decade of pop that was through the prism that is America's best dysfunctional animated family.
As we usher in 2010, we share our Top 10 picks for the best pop star appearances on The Simpsons over the last ten years (with "pop" being v-e-r-y loosely defined in order to accommodate our faves). Our list is in chronological order, making it all the easier to see how music—and the show—evolved through the 00s (starting with bubblegum pop, ending with edgier acts). Is anyone surprised that Bart, Homer, Marge Lisa and the gang have had longer careers than some of their guests?

Pete Wentz’s Bloody Face Raises The Question: What The Hell Happened?
3:09 PM on Mon Dec 21 2009 by Becky Bain
Did somebody finally make good on their Internet threats to punch Pete Wentz in the face? The Fall Out Boy dude posted some creepy photos on his blog showing his face bloody and cut as though he were auditioning for a Fight Club sequel. Always one to drum up some mystery, Pete also included a multiple choice test for readers to guess what happened, rather than just flat-out spilling the beans. The 21-choice quiz, as well as one bonus bloody pic, after the jump. More »

PHOTOS: Song Vs. Song
12:42 PM on Thu Dec 17 2009 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Remember when the Jonas Brothers unveiled their album title and we were all “LOL, that reminds us of The Hush Sound”? Or when Miley Cyrus unveiled “The Climb” and we were briefly terrified that she had covered No Doubt? Well, because we love to argue, we cobbled together several batches of pairs of songs with the same (or very similar!) names, pitting artist against artist and tune against tune. May the better song win. And by win, we mean we hope it lodges itself in the right hemisphere of your brain for the rest of the day. More »

Just a few days after we posted our item chock full of suggestions for how the members of Fall Out Boy should spend their hiatus comes the news that FOB’s Andy Hurley and Joe Trohman have teamed up with members of Anthrax and Every Time I Die to create their own metal supergroup, The Damned Things. Kick ass name. More »

What Should the Fall Out Boys Do During Their Hiatus?
2:06 PM on Thu Nov 19 2009 by Becky Bain
So Fall Out Boy is taking a break. Or maybe they aren’t, and it’s really just a sugar-coated break-up? They’re denying it’s anything of the sort, so we’ll give them the benefit of the doubt, but in the meantime we have a few suggestions for how Pete, Patrick & Co. should invest their free time: More »

Apparently Today Is “Pop Stars’ Hair Is For Sale” Day
11:45 AM on Tue Oct 13 2009 by Maura
What the hell: “SINGED strands of Michael Jackson’s hair that were burned a Pepsi advert are coming up for sale…. The hair was preserved after the accident in 1984 by [the ad's executive producer Ralph] Cohen and the 12 strands are clearly singed.” Add these preseved tresses—expected to fetch about £1,000 at auction—to the locks from Elvis Presley and Pete Wentz that are up for sale, and you’ve officially got a trend. Although this entrant is more macabre than the other two. And it comes with its own account of how the hairs landed in the previous owner’s possession! More »
WTF
9:45 AM on Tue Oct 13 2009 by Maura
A “large quantity” of the late Elvis Presley’s hair—shown at left in all its tufted glory—is expected to fetch between $8,000 and $12,000 at an auction taking place this Sunday in Chicago. The hair supposedly came from Presley’s shaving of his head when he joined the Army in 1958—meaning that, yes, the locks up for bid are 50 years old. Mmm, crunchy! For those of you who want a lock of a famous musician’s hair but are on a bit of a budget—or are looking for tresses of a more recent vintage—$130 (and fleet fingers) can possibly net you among other things a lock of Pete Wentz’s hair, salvaged from Mark Hoppus shaving off Wentz’s “emo haircut” during Fall Out Boy’s show at Madison Square Garden last Sunday.
