Back in March, trainwreck actor Charlie Sheen was fired from his leading role on Two and a Half Men and today we learn that the show will give his character a big send-off when it returns this Fall with Ashton Kutcher as his replacement. According to new reports out today, Men plans on holding a [...]
Last night David and I were invited over to Ollie and Caleb’s home for a home cooked meal and we JUMPED at the chance to go. We’ve graciously been invited to Ollie and Caleb’s before so we knew that it would be a great time (with some great food). David, I’m afraid, was prolly more excited by the fact that he was going to get to hang out with the love his life … Ollie and Caleb’s pet pooch Daphne.
I’m not even kidding you … David is in LOVE with Daphne. He lives for every photo that Ollie shares of Daphne so, yeah, he was in heaven last night. Much love and thanks goes out to Ollie and Caleb for hosting us last night. The lobster ravioli was TO DIE FOR and the convo, as always, was the best. We also got to preview the new EP that Ollie is planning to release next month. Trust me, you’ll be hearing a lot more about it soon.
Tonight, David and I are meeting up with Emma and Josh at the Music Box to see Naked and Famous in concert. David is in love with this new band so we’re gonna check ‘em out live. Should be fun, Happy Tuesday!
After some images from the upcoming Twilight Saga’s “Breaking Dawn” were stolen earlier this year by a hacker, Summit Entertainment has just released the following statement.
“In an action that further communicates that those who steal images, video and other intellectual property will be identified and prosecuted globally, Summit Entertainment communicated today that it has identified the principal hacker who earlier this year stole unreleased materials from THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN which were then distributed on the internet.”
“Civil actions in the United States and Argentina name Daiana Santia, along with others, as being involved in stealing photographs, unfinished images and video from both parts of the yet to be released THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN which first appeared on the internet of March 31 of this year. Criminal action in Argentina has also been filed.”
The statement continues, “The investigation, which utilized the services of Kroll Inc. and the law firm of Keats McFarland & Wilson LLP, spanned four continents (North America, South America, Europe and Australia) and has led to the town of Posadas in northern Argentina. It is believed that others may also be involved in the crime and thus the investigation is on-going.”
“While we very much appreciate the legions of committed fans of the franchise and encourage them to create community online, we cannot ignore that property was stolen,” said David C. Friedman, Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Summit Entertainment. “It is not fair to the majority of fans that want to see the final chapter of the TWILIGHT SAGA film franchise fully realized by the filmmaker and dedicated cast and crew to have these images out and available on the Internet.”
I am super amped about the Breaking Dawn movie so any little tid bits we get until its release have me freaking out. Ashley green and Kristen Stewart have shared a bit of their perspective and definitely have me dying for more! So you all know I am hoping we get to see another trailer at this years MTV VMA’s. In my opinion, for such a big movie, the first of the final two, I think they are not teasing us enough. I mean it hits theaters in November! Ashley Greene and Kristen Stewart both talked about the wedding scene, which is special to them, and fans alike. Ashley, who plays vampire Alice Cullen, revealed to Ok! that, “It was weird because she is one of my very good friends and even though it’s a movie, you feel like it’s real. You are acting so you are feeling these emotions, and she is my best friend in the movie so you are seeing your best friend walk down the aisle so it was kind of odd that get a little emotional.” Kristen Stewart also gave a bit of her insight at this years comic con saying, “I’d been ramping up [...]

Last night David and I made our way out to Echo Park to celebrate our friend Margaret‘s birthday. The night started out with a pizza party at Masa of Echo Park and then finished out at Margaret and Chris’s place nearby. The food was to die … TO DIE. The afterparty was superfun. Margaret and Chris were locked in an epic battle of wills where only one would emerge victorious … it was quite the spirited game of Jenga, y’all.
Sadly for Mags, she lost the Jenga battle … but she put up a valiant effort. As the night turned into morning, folks started dropping like flies … including the birthday girl herself:
Yes the box wine and freeze pops were a gift from us. We classy like that.
Tonight a bunch of us are getting together to see Crazy, Stupid Love. It’s gonna be a very relaxing Saturday, indeed :D

We're still bummed that Kenneth Branagh won't be directing the sequel, but it looks like they may have found a worthy replacement!
Last month, we heard that Disney and Marvel Studios were moving forward with Thor 2, which is already scheduled for release on July 26, 2013.
Now, we've learned that Game of Thrones director Brian Kirk is in "early talks" to direct the Thor sequel.
Others being considered for Thor 2 if things don't work out with Kirk include Cabin in the Woods director Drew Goddard, Ninja Assassin'sJames McTeigue, 300: Battle of Artemesia'sNoam Murro, and The Crazies' Breck Eisner.
Who would U like to see behind the camera for Thor 2? Is the Game of Thrones director right for the job?

And for better or for worse, we def agree with interviewee Carson Daly who says that MTV is "not [...]
NBC wants Sean Hayes back... and so do we!
Apparently the network wants Sean back in front of the camera, as they're developing a new sitcom concept with him!
NBC’s entertainment chief Robert Greenblatt just told TV critics at their summer press tour that one of his goals is to bring Hayes back in front of the camera into a new comedy.
Without specifying details, Greenblatt says he’s developing a concept with Hayes, who’s worked as a producer in recent years on shows like TV Land’s Hot in Cleveland and NBC’s upcoming Grimm.
Color us excited, because we think this is a fantastic idea!
We just hope it's a sitcom without a laugh track -- one in the vein of Parks and Rec or Community!
Did Gene Simmons get married? Did Shannon Tweed say yes to his marriage proposal? These are the big questions following last night′s season finale of the A&E Reality TV series, ′Gene Simmons Family Jewels.′ So let us recap the events leading up to the big moment in Belize. ′Gene Simmons Family Jewels′ season finale recaps to a show that is keeping America spellbound. Image Credit: Adriana M. Barraza / WENN.com. The show begins with Nick and Sophie stopping by the house while Gene is doing something on his computer. He tells the kids that he is flying up to Saskatoon tomorrow to bring Shannon home. Later, Sophie interrupts as Gene is meeting with jewelers who are displaying their finest engagement rings. Gene tells Sophie that he intends to ask Shannon to marry him. This makes Sophie very happy and she helps him decide on having a custom ring made, which will take about two weeks. The next morning, Gene is packing for his trip when the limo shows up an hour early. But it turns out not to be the limo he arranged to take him to the airport. Instead, its one Shannon hired to bring her home as she [...]
We all need to just take a deep breath and read the fine print! Here's the sitch: Over the weekend, the news spread that Chord Overstreet won't be back on Glee this coming season. People were outraged! There was looting in the street, babies crying and death threats to the powers that be over at McKinley High. Okay, [...]
It appears Michael Jackson left more secrets than we thought!
Of his many hidden treasures lies a secret art collection that is now in the middle of an 'international tug-of-war.'
The fortune, which consists of 182 rarities including a myriad goodies from MJ originals to a rocking chair JFK used to sit in, is appraised at an unbelievable $902.52 million!
While this could have ensured his children's lives of luxury, it has unfortunately been bought out in a 'bargain basement' deal for a measly $87 mil in comparison.
Jackson's estate lawyers are moving swiftly to block the purchase that an undisclosed international business man already put $37 mil down for.
Wow! That's cray-cray! It begs a good question, though. Why didn't Michael already have this in his will for the children?
What was it about rockabilly music that held such strong appeal to the youth of the 1950s? Why was the music so powerful and why did it become such a defining force in American culture and then worldwide culture? And how has the music's appeal evolved over time? What makes modern fans love the music as much as--if not more--than the fans of the 1950s. I'm not sure those are questions that can truly be answered, but I'm willing to try!
Kgositsile has excelled in the artistic and literary world, inspiring aspiring and established artists and intellectuals as well as fostering the careers of young writers. Among his published books are The Word Is Here: Poetry from Modern Africa (1973) and several volumes of his poetry which includes For Melba (1970), The Present Is a Dangerous Place to Live (1974), Places and Bloodstains (1975), If I Could Sing (2002), and This Way I Salute You (2004) thus creating for himself a vital place in Black literature of Africa and America.
Taking piano lessons requires commitment. You need to practice regularly in order to progress. Otherwise, every time you return to the piano, you waste time relearning techniques you should have already mastered. If you own an iPad, you can use basic skills to record and share your music - and as you improve your mastery, evidence of your progress can quickly and easily be captured on the iPad.
When it comes to the world of today, the technology has become more advanced at every minute of the day; people have so much imagination which really helps to create a better effect with new gadgets. That is where the Samson G Track USB microphone is going to come in use for; there have been many people that have seen this and thought it must be an old age microphone that won't do anything that you want it to do but you are wrong! Now with this little microphone you are going to find that there is now...
One of the things that made rockabilly music so great during its rise in the 1950s was the all-out, go-for-broke attitude that so many of the performers exhibited. The early performers were influenced by the two vastly different worlds of country music and rhythm and blues. While they may have taken many aspects of country music and utilized them in the look of rockabilly, they poured just as many aspects of rhythm and blues music into the attitude of their new music.
Justin Bieber used to be an ordinary Canadian boy, but his life totally changed in the year 2008. With his great musical talent, this seventeen year old boy has released an EP and an album and has become a superstar in the music industry. Reading Justin's biography is always interesting since this Canadian boy has gone through a great journey to success.

Is there anything this man can’t do!?!
Putting his heart into it, Johnny Depp played alongside Alice Cooper at London's 100 Club to the rock star’s famous anthems School’s Out and I’m Eighteen.
This video makes us wonder what if...
For those of you who don’t know, Johnny’s first love wasn’t the camera but actually the guitar. Dropping out of high school to pursue a life as a musician, he and his band, The Kids, headed west to Los Angeles.
Of course, we all know how the story changed. The man switched gears and became a Hollywood film icon - which we’re all selfishly happy about.
If you watched the Daytime Emmy Awards than you know that it was less than stellar with very minimal good parts. I know it has been almost a week since the disaster that was the Daytime Emmy Awards aired but it took me that long to get my thoughts together. Seriously I was so disappointed and I am not talking about some of my favorite stars not winning. I am talking about the lack of respect that soap operas got at the awards show. There was a 20-minute tribute to Oprah but what about the tributes to All My Children and One Life To Live? Despite the fact that the Big O already had herself a farewell tribute there are stars on AMC and OLTL who have been on their respective shows longer than Winfrey was on air, can you say Bob Woods and Erika Slezak. Sure Suan Lucci got props paid to her but that was it and honestly insulting those who have worked so hard on both shows for so many years. I guess they could do it next year but at that point AMC will have been off the air almost a year. Alright I am done [...]
We don't know how we feel about this Eminem's new video. While it's artistically beautiful (the video is directed by Joseph Kahn), it's also pretty violent. Em hasn't been afraid of showing violence and suicide in his past videos, but we're not sure if this is the best message he wants out there. In the video, [...]
A reconciliation may be in the works for Avril Lavigne and her ex-hubby, Deryck Whibley. The pair were spotted flirting and hugging on vacation this past week in France and got particularly handsy during a boat trip on the French Riviera. Avril was sporting a very teeny,weeny black and purple bikini and Deryck was spotted caressing her back.
You can canvas the same museum year after year and look upon the same exhibits and find them in mint condition. Do you ever wonder why museum pieces never age or wither away? Museum pieces stay in tiptop shape due to the work of the museum conservator. This is a significant profession in the art world.

The guitar is among the most dynamic of all musical instruments. It has a profound sound that occurs to become unique from other instruments. This is one of the reasons why it's extremely acknowledged in almost all genres of music like country, blues, flamenco, bluegrass, mariachi, jota, jazz, soul, reggae, various forms of pop and rock. It isn't surprising why a lot of people love to learn how you can play this ever popular instrument.
The speculation is over, muggles: Pottermore has arrived, and as we guessed, it's an online experience featuring brand new "Harry Potter" material. That's right — brand new. They aren't calling this Pottermore without a reason (even if we're already giving you more Potter with the Harry Potter World Cup)! J.K. Rowling finally unveiled the full extent of her [...]

According to Nielsen SoundScan, the British songstress beat out the current record holder, Eminem's Recovery, which [...]
Leave the drama at home, because the night was NOT about starting shizz!
In fact, when NeNe Leakes and Richards were spotted out having a good night together, we quickly realized that there didn't have to be problems ALL the time!
Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes had a drama-free night – even though she was hanging out with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills's Kyle Richards.
The ladies went out to dinner, then hit up Trousdale Lounge for a night of dancing – and champagne drinking! – in the private backroom. The Bravo stars also partied with Faye Resnick and Kyle's husband, Mauricio Umansky.
So good to see them out having fun instead of creating dramz!
The Discovery channel knows how to choose shows, so we'll put our doubts aside and trust them on this one. They've decided to pick up a show about used car salesmen called, you guessed it, Carfellas. The cable network has ordered 12 episodes of Carfellas, a series centering on reformed ex-con Mike DeLucia, who sells used [...]
Understandable! She wants to focus on being a mom!
Natalie Portman has reportedly been offered her first post-baby role as the lead in the film Adaline, which centers on a woman who becomes ageless after being in an accident in the early 1990s, but her rep just confirmed that ultimately, the actress chose to turn it down!
We're not too surprised!
Didn't she go as far as to claim recently that she might give up the industry entirely to start a family?
As sad as we would be to see her go, we do have to commend her - she's already accomplished so much!
Michael Lohan has a comment to the press about his daughter and ex-wife's ridiculous behavior?! Shocker! But what IS actually shocking is that we're in agreement with him! Apparently, everyone's favorite father of the century is not too pleased with reports that his precious little angel Lindsay and her mother, Dina, were knocking back booze faster than you [...]
Oh man - between him and Joel McHale, we're in seksi funnymen overload!
On last night's episode of The Soup, True Blood's buffest Joe Manganiello made not one, not two, but three separate - and equally HIGHlarious appearances - and even with a member of his 'wolf pack' - HA!
Ch-ch-check out all the yumminess (above)!
Yes, YES and YES!
He makes merciless fun of the shiteous Secret Life of the American Teenager!
WE ARE IN LOVE!
Dear lord, please make this a regular occurrence!
We love seeing him in a comedic role!
Granted, we love seeing him more in NEKKID roles - perhaps there's an opportunity down the line to combine the two?!
Singing harmony with appliances and other inanimate objects? I think it's a symptom of frustration that you don't have anyone to sing ACTUAL harmony with. Well drop the vacuum and step away from the fridge because now you can sing awesome harmony with yourself! Record yourself singing on your computer recording studio. Then sing along with it. Wash, rinse repeat for as many harmonies as you want.
Planning for a birthday party or celebration can be a stressful situation, whatever your occasion you would like everything to be right. Picking out a professional Mobile DJ plan to entertain your friends and relatives is an extremely essential aspect in ensuring a great party, even when anything else is ideal, if the entertainment is not just right, the entire party could be disappointed.
I heard Miss Alana Stewart's song "perfervid" one afternoon. You know the routine- I get a lot of music thrown at me so I clicked play and got back on with my work not thinking twice. As soon as the track started though Stewart's voice was so successfully piercing that I paused just to focus on her range, the unavoidable longing in her addictive voice was hard to ignore, and before I knew it one track had turned into five, and without realizing it- I was hooked.
If you studied popular music of the last three decades, you'd be hard-pressed to find a band with the influence on music as well as social and cultural issues as the group U2. Front man, Bono's strong belief in the triumph of the human spirit over the sometimes horrible human condition is more than well known.
We're laughing. We're crying. SO MANY EMOTIONS!!! Last night, Lady GaGa was a guest judge on So You Think You Can Dance and she dispensed some invaluable advice and praise to the final 8 contestants. She also threw a shoe at Sasha & Melanie and cried her eyes out when Marko performed with Allison. Check out the [...]
Rachel Avila thought it would be fine if she lit her cigarette with a gun.
When she lit it, a .22 caliber bullet ricochet off the ground in front of her mobile home and entered her daughter's arm.
FAIL.
Fortunately, the daughter is okay (physically, no word yet on her emotional stability).
But WTF was she thinking?
Well, according to her, she thought it was a novelty lighter.
You can treat yourself to a number of other little guitar accessories, doodads, and contraptions that make guitar playing a lot more painless and convenient.

Though LiLo went out to watch Coldplay's benefit concert at UCLA the other night, she never actually made it backstage to hang with the cool kids. They wouldn't let her in! …ouch! According to eyewitness sources, she got so pissed, she threw a fit: She protested to the people running the guest list, hoping they'd change their minds [...]
We think Countess LuAnn would be proud. This sounds like a very classy thing to do.
Since Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari will no longer be taking the big leap into marriage, all the gifts everyone sent them off their wedding registry have been taken back to the store. Yeah, some people would've kept them. Those people wouldn't have any more friends, but who needs friends when you've got a waffle iron from Crate and Barrel?
Anyway, the gifts were sent back and everyone who was gracious enough to buy something for the couple got a little note sent to them (above) explaining that they'll be getting their money back shortly.
Alls end that ends well - at least for their guests! Things are probably still a little a rough for Kristin and Jay though.
This is … not good. Autotune is your friend, sweetie. Own it. Be it. Use it. Last night, Rebecca Black sang a - wait for it - medley of her greatest hits on America's Got Talent. Okay, her only hits. OKAY, her only songs! Fine! Check out the video (above) to see her performance. At least she [...]
Now this has to be scary. Probably brought back a lot of terrible memories for New York.
Yesterday, a young man who was visiting the Top of The Rock attraction at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, separated from his group and scaled over the 10-foot glass partition on the 70th floor. He threatened to jump sans any explanation, which sent the city into a panic.
The streets below were closed off by FDNY, NYPD and thankfully, after some time, the man was talked off the ledge and brought back inside.
Check out the video (above) to put this into perspective. 70 flights up would've been a long way to fall.
We're just glad he's safe and he didn't hurt anyone else or himself.
And here we go…let the madness begin. As we reported and feared he would, Texas Governor Rick Perry has officially announced his bid to run for President today. He said during a speech in Charleston, South Carolina: "I full well believe I'm going to win. America's place in the world is in peril, not only because of [...]
The wedding bells are ringing this weekend!
Brooke Burke and her fiance of five years, David Charvet, have tied the knot this weekend, on a boat in St. Bart's with their children present!
So sweet! This has been a long time coming, so we can imagine how excited everyone must be!
Sometimes more is not more! 2 is not greater than 1! We love them both individually, but we have not been feeling the songs we've heard thus far from Kanye West and Jay-Z's Watch The Throne. Check out The Joy, featuring Curtis Mayfield, above. Another one that - while it doesn't suck - just kinda underwhelms! What do U [...]
This is very disturbing.
In a Minnesota school district repped by Michele Bachmann, there have been a total of NINE teenage suicides in two years. Awful.
According to reports, the teens who have killed themselves were largely gay or perceived as gay, or bullying victims.
Thus far, Bachmann has kept very quiet about the whole situation, probably because she doesn't approve of the gay lifestyle in the first place, and doesn't "promote tolerance for gays and lesbians in the classroom."
Currently, the Justice Department and the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights are investigating schools in Bachmann's district over anti-gay bullying allegations.
We're glad to see that steps are being taken to stop this horrible trend in Michele Bachmann's school district. We can only hope that changes will be made ASAP, before we lose another teenager.
Remember Perezious readers, if you're ever feeling emotional distress, make the call that can change UR life to the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-784-2433.
Electric guitarists seldom just plug into an amp and start playing. Well, they may start out that way, but if you listen to the radio - or any recorded guitar music, for that matter - you quickly notice a lot more going on than just a "straight" guitar sound. At the very least, you hear some ambient treatment in the form of artificially created echo, or reverb, as the effect is known in guitar lingo. You may hear some (intended) distortion, especially in rock and blues music, and you may hear additional effects, such as wah-wah, vibrato, and other electronic manipulations. Welcome to the wonderful, wacky world of guitar accessories known as effects.
She looks absolutely stunning. Demi Lovato took to Twitter today to reveal the cover art her new album, Unbroken, which drops September 20th! Check it out (above)! Breathtaking!

So glad this has all been resolved.
A memorial service for Russell Armstrong has been officially scheduled for Wednesday at the Church of the Hills at Forest Lawn cemetery in El Lay.
Although it's unclear if his family will attend the 3pm ceremony, Russell's body's ashes will be split between there and with relatives in Texas.
Seems like a fair compromise.
Hopefully now they can put the drama behind them and focus on helping one another work through their.
Welp, so much for great expectations. It is with a heavy heart that I report that the DC Comics superhero film Green Lantern — which stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Mark Strong and Peter Sarsgaard — is, at best, an average movie. Try as I might to like it, I came away from the seeing [...]
Last night was a really fun and really laid back for a night in D-Town. I spent my afternoon hanging out with my parents at home and ended up spending a lot of time rummaging thru old boxes looking for stuff to bring home with me to LA. I, thankfully, found a box full of vinyl records and — unfortunately — found my junior high school yearbook. My 8th grade photo is so (terribly) funny that I had to share it with all y’all. Later in the night, my friends and I went out to see Green Lantern. The night ended with ice cream. All in all, a pretty good Friday, I’d say.
Yes, folks … this is what I looked like when I was in the 8th grade. Yes, the sweater was too baggy … yes, I’m actually wearing a gold chain AND a teeth retainer. Yes, I had a lot of fuzzy hair. OY! To be honest, my goal was to find my vinyl so I don’t have any other embarrassing photos to share with all y’all … but I hope you get a kick out of this photo. Last night, Sarah, Mark, David and I made our way out to the AMC 20 in Livonia, MI to see Green Lantern. My review for that movie is forthcoming but I’ll tell you right now, it wasn’t the best movie I’ve ever seen … not by a long shot.
Today, I’m gonna try to get my buns out to Royal Oak, MI to run a few errands before meeting up with Tracey and my goddaughter Zakiya this afternoon. Tonight, Sarah is hosting a little soirée at her place so I can see a few more friends. It promises to be a grand affair. Happy Saturday!!
On the Internet, you should experience no difficulty finding sites to buy popular karaoke songs and if you have temporary cash flow problems, YouTube showcases a large variety of karaoke videos you can view and use for free. You could find the task a little challenging, though, if your musical tastes run off the beaten track and what you really want to perfect, is an album track from an obscure 1980s band that did not quite rise to stardom. The answer is to create your own karaoke tracks and there are several online tools that can help you to complete the task.
Anthony Weiner will not resign after all—at least according to a statement the democrat made after admitting he sent racy photos to a number of women, including 26-year-old Meagan Broussard via Twitter. The multi-term representative first found himself in an awkward position about a week ago when a photo was sent from his Twitter account to a young woman in Seattle. The photo, which helped dub the kerfuffle “weinergate,” showed a man in his underwear, with a bulge in the crotch area. At first he played the “hacker” card that many celebs pull, claiming that an unknown individual targeted his account and sent an unapproved tweet. The strange twist came when he would not deny that the photo was of himself. This left many people wondering where a hacker would have gotten a picture of the Congressman in his underwear in the first place. Suddenly today, he held a press conference whereby he admitted that the entire debacle was no accident: “The picture was of me and I sent it…” He said the picture was sent jokingly, but that it wasn’t the first “inappropriate conversation” he has had over the Internet. In fact, he says that over the last three [...]

A variety of options exist that lets you take your love for karaoke home and share it with your nearest and dearest.
Brendon Urie of Panic At The Disco is not some wimpy Emo dude. Nope. He really hurt himself during a live show, and decided to keep on rockin’, despite a massively swollen ankle. Don’t let the ridiculous looking vest in the video fool you, this could be filed under “true rock star moments.” After getting up close and personal with the crowd at a show in Jacksonville, Florida, Brendon stepped back on stage with a limp. He sort of hobbles for a second trying to pull his shoe off…then BOOM: the reveal. The crowd lets loose a sort of sympathetic, but still grossed out “ooooooooohhhhh,” as he shows off a pretty sick looking dumpling of an ankle injury. Let’s be honest, most people would be on the ground screaming, but this guy just sort of takes it like a man. He doesn’t even walk off stage to be check out. He just makes a couple of jokes about his grandmother’s goiter and straps on a guitar. The crowd seems to really appreciate his dedication and gets pretty fired up before the next song. Eventually the show ended and Brendon made it to the hospital, but not before sending this photo [...]

If you are a retro speaker enthusiast, chances are you have heard of the Large Advent Speaker, but have you ever heard of the Smaller Advent Speaker? For audiophiles looking for that classic uncolored Advent sound without the huge footprint of the large advent speaker, the smaller advent speaker was the perfect solution. It reallt is a testament to the smaller advent speaker that even today, a pair of these bought in 1972 holds up against the current speaker technology of the day.
Many purists debate the worth of an electronic drum kit when compared to an acoustic one but in todays technological advances, the types of drum sounds and the feel of an electronic drum kit are on par with their acoustic cousins. This coupled with the societal shift of people living in more compact dwellings and in apartments, it's easy to see why an electronic drum kit is gaining momentum as a must have for any serious drummer. Electronic drums have a number of benefits over their louder counterparts.
One of the most common pastimes for vintage audio enthusiasts is Advent Speaker repair. Not because they enjoy it but because it is a necessary point of the game. There are many things that will require advent speaker repair - water damage, physical damage, component failure and of course, the dreaded foam disintegration.
What?! No! Huh?! Why?! Ironic??? NO!!!! All these emotions . . . it just doesn't make sense! It's been quite awhile since we've seen Courteney Cox with David Arquette Jennifer Aniston at a Hollywood party, but you know, we didn't worry too much about it. These two are solid, besties for life. They've loved and lost and [...]
He is one busy man!
Perezzers recently sat down to chat with Nick Cannon. And, of course, we talked about Mariah - a lot!
We also chatted about his radio show (which Perez calls into every morning), the new season of America's Got Talent, his standup career, his music career, dem babies and a bunch more.
Read some highlights from our interview…. after the jump.
And watch our chat in full (above)!
Perez Hilton: What's it been like being a dad?
Nick Cannon: Man, it's hard to leave the house honestly. I mean, as much as I love what I do and the hustle when I get home and I get home and I see those two little faces looking up at me that look like my face, it's like, it's unbelievable. It kind of gives you a whole new inspiration and whole new reason to kind of get out there and do it everyday.
Perez Hilton: What surprised you the most about the twins or having children?
Nick Cannon: The fact that they have personalities.
Perez Hilton: And they’re like four months old, three months, two months old?
Nick Cannon: One month.
Perez Hilton: One month wow. They already have personalities?
Nick Cannon: Yeah, personalities. And it's crazy because you can see like my son is definitely more like me. He's like chill, laid back –
Perez Hilton: At one month?
Nick Cannon: Yeah. And but my daughter is, that's her mothers child. Like she is like a diva. She sleeps like this with her hands. She's like, when she wants something, she's instantly crying letting you know likes she's going to be a little handful.
Perez Hilton: And have there been talks? Do you want to have even more?
Nick Cannon: [See video for answer]
(Music clip)
Perez Hilton: Now you and Mariah have been together I think four years now?
Nick Cannon: Yeah, man, going on four years.
Perez Hilton: 2007, like April 2007 I remember when you started dating. Was it the kind of thing you’re just like immersed in each other like were you just –
Nick Cannon: Absolutely.
Perez Hilton: You saw each other every single day?
Nick Cannon: Well not — we didn’t see each other because you know I was in LA and she was in New York most of the time. But it was one of those things where we were inseparable to a point where when I'm — I always knew I was going to be in love with Mariah Carey.
Perez Hilton: Really?
Nick Cannon: She was my celebrity crush since I was a kid.
Perez Hilton: Really?
Nick Cannon: So I was like when I get the opportunity, I'm going to just let her know how I feel and just go hard, just — and I went hard and then from that point she connected and we –
Perez Hilton: She was ready.
Nick Cannon: Yeah. And it was just –
Perez Hilton: It was just like the right time.
Nick Cannon: When we weren’t there we were on the phone all the time. It was just like, it was real so –
Perez Hilton: You had long phone calls like old school?
Nick Cannon: Six hours on the phone. Like who do you talk to for six hours? What do you talk about for six hours? That's like — it was like that junior high love.
Perez Hilton: What do you think is the secret to proving to people, like we're still together four years later, we're making it work?
Nick Cannon: [See answer in video.]
Perez Hilton: Festive. That's a very Mariah word.
Nick Cannon: We just like to have fun. Like outside of everything else, if we cant have a good time doing it, then why do it.
Nobody had ever seen anything quite like Elvis Presley before when he started appearing on stages and live television broadcasts in the mid 1950s. Some had seen the rhythm and blues performers that Elvis in large part modeled himself after, but no one had seen a white performer behave "that way." Elvis' music was exciting and his stage presence was equally so. He had strong sex appeal and he knew how to use it. And he wasn't alone. Sex appeal was a big part of the equation for many rockabilly stars. And it was a big part of the reason why parents and other "responsible" adults hated the music!
Hollywood’s biggest couple, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, may actually get married before too long. You will be surprised to find out why they might make a change of plans. It sounds like my favorite celebrity couple might have to put their political beliefs on pause and simply get married. PEOPLE Magazine reported today that they originally wanted to wait until the entire country was given marriage equality before actually tying the knot, but now that their kids are starting to get older, it might not be possible. Brad admitted to the mag that the kids are starting to ask questions about marriage, and said “it’s something we’ve got to look at.” As if we couldn’t love them anymore! I totally agree with the idea, but mostly because I would love, love, love to see their wedding photos. I’m sure some friends of their children have mommies and daddies that are married, and they are obviously smart kids. Children have such curious minds, and they probably want to know what is going on with their own parents. I’m guessing it’s too complicated to try to explain the whole gay marriage concept to them at their age, so instead, they are [...]

When it comes to guitars, you can't go wrong with Fender. Not only that it is one of the first solid - body electric guitars sold commercially, it also has a tone of its own. Each fender guitar has its own "Flavor" and it picking up which model should you play depends heavily on your preference. Before we go on discussing fender telecaster pickups, let me tell you a brief intro about Fender.
Oh no! How embarrassing! Twitter seems to have gotten the best of Mel B, as she inadvertantly agreed to another Spice Girls reunion tour when an imposter posing as former bandmate Geri Halliwell suggested that the girls all get together once again!

Yeah, after the year they've had, we're not surprised!
Although Two and a Half Men is apparently eligible for the nomination of Best Comedy Series at this year's Emmy Awards, sources close to the production have revealed that given the circumstances surrounding Charlie Sheen and his firing from the sitcom, Warner Brothers TV smartly decided to NOT submit it for the accolade!
However, the studio will be creating ad campaigns for series co-stars Jon Cryer, Holland Taylor, Angus T. Jones and Conchata Ferrell in support of their individual nominations, which are normally submitted by their representatives!
As for Sheen, he missed the April 29th deadline!
Shocker! LOLz!
Here's hoping that all of his co-stars get properly recognized for their amazing performances and work ethic, given the circumstances surrounding that this year! They all went above and beyond, and we think that deserves some serious nominations!
It is probably the guitar which every guitar player should have. The most flexible and playable guitar in the history of the planet. Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Eric Clapton are just three of the thousand legendary guitar players who could testify to the versatility and the satisfaction that they had when they used it.
Ask anyone to draw a guitar, anyone; doesn't matter how old or young, or what gender, it also doesn't matter where he comes from. I'll bet everything that there are only two things that they will end up with, a scribble of an acoustic guitar, or an electric guitar that looks unmistakably like a Fender Stratocaster.
The piano is a musical instrument played by using a keyboard. It is one of the most admired instruments in the entire world.

People make homemade jewelry for a lot of different reasons. One of the main reasons though is because they have an outfit and they need the right jewelry to finish the ensemble off. While this is a great reason, there are a few things you want to consider in order to accomplish this goal the right way.
With a tremendous ear for beats and a clear love for old hip-hop Big Pooh does an amazing job producing a simple yet driving sound that stays true the genre without electronic gimmicks, out of tune hipster sung hooks and odes to tight jeans wearing punks looking for something cool to play while doing tricks on their skateboards. This is straight grown man hip-hop, like or hate it. I love it and can't get enough of it.

We cannot express enough how excited we are for this!
Warner Bros has announced that the premiere for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 will take place in both Leicester Square AND Trafalgar Square!
No films have EVER had red carpet premieres before at Trafalgar Square. So cool!
The cast will walk the red carpet at the July 7 premiere, and that will only be the BEGINNING of the awesomeness!
Here's what Warner Bros Pictures UK president and managing director Josh Berger had to say about it:
"We are delighted that our plans for the finale of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will take place in such a spectacular venue."
"We pride ourselves on the creativity of our premieres and the space within Trafalgar Square will lend itself to being a magical experience for both guests and fans."
Sounds fantastic! We'll be sad to see the end of the Harry Potter franchise until they all get re-released in director's cut 3D extended editions, but we're SO happy to hear that they'll be going out with a bang!

Some music-lovers consider an electric guitar as their best friend. They carry it around wherever they go, and would sit on a bench at the park and let the whole afternoon pass them by as they play beautiful songs from their electric guitar. Of course, they would also be bringing their portable amplifier-speakers with them.

Damn, Balitmore!
Seventeen Baltimore Police Department officers and two brothers who own a car repair shop have been charged with conspiring to commit extortion.
The two brothers paid police officers to arrange for their company to tow vehicles from accident scenes and make repairs, as opposed to a city-authorized company.
U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commented on the case by saying:
"The criminal complaint alleges that the officers were secretly working for a private auto repair business when they were supposed to be working for the police department and the citizens of Baltimore. Police officers cross a bright line when they take payments from private citizens in connection with their official duties."
Heck yes they do! C'mon cops! Use your heads.
Sounds like the Baltimore PD is pissed too, as Commissioner Fred Bealefeld said:
"I will not tolerate any criminal activity that undermines the integrity of the Baltimore Police Department and the many sacrifices our officers make each and every day and I thank our federal partners for their assistance in this investigation."
So how much did these cops-turned-criminals make?
Shop owners Hernan Alexis Moreno Mejia and Edwin Javier Mejia paid officers $300 for each vehicle they steered to the company, with some crooked cops making more than $14,400!
The defendents are facing MAJOR jail time too with a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for the extortion conspiracy.
It's a shame to hear about the law, which police officers lose their lives trying uphold, being broken by other brothers in blue.
