Idolator Live-Blogs The "TRL" Finale: 1-800-DIAL-MTV, We Knew Ye When

Tonight brings us the finale of MTV's daily countdown show TRL, and MTV is pulling out a few stops to celebrate its end: A few live performances, a few interviews, a return to hosting duties by TRL OG Carson Daly. In some ways, this denouement was inevitable: The fizzy, sheeny, ever-expanding America that was epitomized by the rise of both the first Britney era and TRL some 10 years ago is all but over, what with a seemingly neverending bust ensuing and the concept of "popular music" being less popular than ever. But that doesn't mean we can't eulogize it, right? Full coverage begins after the jump. More »

The Fred Durst-directed film The Longshots may have been received tepidly by critics, but guess what, suckers? Audiences loved it, giving it an A according to post-screening polls conducted by CinemaScore. This could have been the result of the movie's self-selected audience pool—the flick, which stars Ice Cube and Keke Palmer, was No. 8 at the box office over the weekend after grossing $4.3 million—or it could just be yet another sign that "loathed by The Man, loved by the common man" is Durst's favorite method of rebellion.

Fred Durst Is Something Of A Long Shot In The Minds Of Movie Critics

From time to time, we like to round up the all-important, all-summarizing last sentences of the biggest new-music reviews. Today, we're going to switch things up a bit and look at the notices given to the Fred Durst-directed The Longshots, which features Ice Cube as the doting uncle of a female football prodigy and which comes out today.

Fred Durst And Tom Green Take It Back To 2000


Eminem must have punched the wall when (and if) he heard that arch-enemies Fred "That Little Limp Bizkit Bastard" Durst and Tom "My Bum Is On Your Lips" Green united their powers for an episode of Green's talk show Tom Green's House Tonight! Durst, promoting his upcoming directorial effort The Longshots, appeared disheveled and unkempt, recalling the Judgment Night soundtrack, Urban Dance Squad, and watching Wes Borland dress up in his Bizkit make-up through a long telescope. That accent? Some Andy Kaufman shit right there. [YouTube]

Your First Look At Fred Durst And Ice Cube's The Longshots


Here's the trailer for The Longshots (formerly Comeback), the film that Fred Durst and Ice Cube's careers have been building toward for a long time. Who better than the authors of "Nookie" and "Givin' Up The Nappy Dug Out" to tell the story of the first female quarterback in a Pop Warner football tournament. Snoop Dogg's Pop Warner movie is still in development, so maybe he'll shout "I believe in you, bitch!" from the stands in a cameo. More »

Fred Durst, Ice Cube Seek to Provide Positive Role Models for Young Women

What is Fred Durst up to right now? It's a question I frequently ask myself, and, what with me plastering his face all over Idolator, one you might be pondering as well. A new album? A new sex tape? A new cred-hungry t-shirt purchase? A new... feel-good sports movie starring Ice Cube and Keke "Akeelah & The Bee" Palmer? The Chocolate Starfish recently finished location shooting on Comeback, the story of the first female quarterback to play in a Pop Warner football tournament. Ice Cube, Durst's former Family Values tourmate, will produce the film and play her coach. Durst's TriBeca Film Festival award-winning directorial debut, The Education Of Charlie Banks, set at Vassar(!), may see release this spring. Did we misjudge Fred? Has his public idiocy just been an act? More »

Add another name beside "Toby Keith" on the ever-growing list of T-Pain's dream collaborations: "Really, to just do a T-Pain/Limp Bizkit song, that would be awesome for me." Could this rappa-rocka summit prove the end of the sanga's bulletproof Billboard run? Or could T-Pain's magic touch actually get hatless pop pariah Fred Durst back on the radio? [MTV / Photo: AP]

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

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. More »

Dear Whoever Is In Charge Of These Sorts Of Things: Please do not allow Fred Durst to guest star on Big Love, which is one of the few TV shows that I am pretty much hooked on. Especially if he is introduced as, say, a love interest for the Chloe Sevigny character, because that will just send me into extremely painful flashbacks of things that I never wanted to know about in the first place. (Also, can you please tell whoever's writing next season's scripts to give Tina Majorino more stuff to do? Thanks!) [TMZ]

Fred Durst: Still A Worthless Asshole

According to the AP, the slouchy sleazebag—whose occasionally entertaining Courtney-esque public outbursts are mitigated by his utterly loathsome qualities, a.k.a. the "guilt minus the pleasure" factor—"pleaded no contest to seven misdemeanors, including assault, battery and reckless driving, for deliberately hitting two people with his car." Emphasis mine: More »

Roll over Jodorowsky and tell Fellini the news: Fred Durst is directing Ice Cube in a forthcoming "inspirational" sports drama about an 11-year-old girl who joins a football team, taking time off from sitting around with his thumb up his ass watching TV and breaking my heart, respectively. Also, I have no idea if it's just because I didn't sleep well last night, but I keep hearing "it's Ice Cube and Fred Durst" in Lil Mama's voice from that damn Avril Lavigne remix. [Reuters]

The Fred Durst Movie Might Not Be As Awful As We Feared/Hoped

Can you believe it's been almost ten years since we all started making fun of Fred Durst? He was the gimp that kept on giving: There was the late-'80s demo tape, the sex tape, and, most offensive of all, the video for "Behind Blue Eyes." So when we heard he was making a movie, we immediately laughed it off, thinking that it would be yet another entry in Durst's embarrassing CV. But now, less than a week after The Education Of Charlie Banks premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, we have to ask: Could this movie actually not be terrible, after all? More »

Limp Bizkit Frontman Did It For The Nookie (And The Free Stuff, Too)

Fred Durst's quest to be taken seriously—which includes ditching his red baseball cap, claiming that he doesn't "kiss and tell" when asked about his Britney tryst, picking up women at bodegas, dragging his son to Soho House, and directing a movie film—made it to the New York Times Sunday Styles section yesterday. In it, he stressed that he's all about keeping his fame in perspective: More »
