Did You Hear?
:: Gwyneth Paltrow reenacting Rihanna's "Umbrella" video on Glee is all sorts of wrong, but so is the Oscar winner singing Cee Lo Green's NSFW doo-wop hit.

Jay-Z Gets Dissed By MC Hammer In Terrible New Video
Mon Nov 1 2010 by Becky Bain
A few weeks ago, Jay-Z took a fairly harmless swipe at MC Hammer in the G.O.O.D. Friday jam "So Appalled" (which has also found its way onto Kanye's album), and how does Hammer — who goes by King Hammer now, apparently — retaliate? By filming a music video depicting Jay being chased by, and then collaborating with, the Devil. Please Hammer, don't hurt Hova!

Vic Mizzy, R.I.P.
Tue Oct 20 2009 by Maura
Vic Mizzy, a songwriter who was probably best known for penning the themes to ’60s sitcoms The Addams Family and Green Acres, passed away Saturday at his home in Bel Air, Calif. Mizzy, a Brooklyn native, rose up through the vaudeville circuit, eventually writing standards for the likes of Doris Day and Dean Martin. He provided lead vocals for the theme to The Addams Family, and gave the show’s principals direction on just how to snap their fingers while feigning boredom. In the ’60s, he composed music for a slew of movies starring Don Knotts; ater in his career, Sam Raimi asked him to contribute music for the DVD release of Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3. A few of Mizzy’s compositions (as performed by Day and They Might Be Giants, among others) after the jump. More »

“The Addams Family” Musical Is Not Going To Get In The Addams Groove
Wed Jul 22 2009 by Maura
In yet another sign that everyone everywhere is pretty much out of ideas for good, a musical based on The Addams Family is coming to Broadway next year, with Bebe Neuwirth and Nathan Lane in the head-of-household roles: “In this original story, the famously macabre Addams Family is put to the test when outsiders come to dinner, hurling Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Fester, Grandmama and Lurch headlong into a night that will change the family forever.” Ooh, forever. However! The show’s music is credited to a bunch of people who are definitely not MC Hammer, thus robbing Times Square’s tourist masses of the chance to see “Addams Groove” in full-on production number form. What a shame! I hope this is just because there’s an MC Hammer jukebox musical in the works. [Playbill / YouTube] More »
MC Hammer And Vanilla Ice To Bump Into Each Other Onstage Tonight
Fri Feb 27 2009 by Dan Gibson
Tonight in Orem, Utah, concertgoers will be able to take in a historic double bill of Vanllia Ice and MC Hammer; the Salt Lake Tribune preview is loaded with great quotes from Vanilla Ice, and when I checked the wires for a recent picture of one or both of the hip-pop stars, I found the above shot of MC Hammer riding a bumper car in the Wisconsin Dells. Combined, it’s just too much for a blogger to resist.
