Katherine Webb's journey to stardom isn't showing any signs of slowing down. Espn announcer Brent Musburger's focus on quarterback Aj McCarron's gal during Alabama and Notre Dame game earlier this week has opened a lot of doors for Miss Alabama, including a photo spread for one popular magazine. "It's official...shooting with Sports Illustrated! #Blessed," she tweeted today. Now, we know what you're all wondering—"Is it the swimsuit issue?!" We can only hope, but no other details on Webb's shoot with Sports Illustrated have been disclosed just yet. The brunette beauty appeared on Today yesterday morning, and...

Maybe you were at the grocery store when you found yourself singing along to Afrojack's "Take Over Control" for the hundredth time. Or maybe it was when Martin Solveig's "Hello" was suddenly on repeat on your iPod. Whatever your moment was, it's fair to say the American appetite for electronic dance music surged in 2011, bringing "the rave" to radio and festivals, touching every U.S. city (big and small). Even Grammy voters took notice this year, nominating Skrillex for Best New Artist and in four other categories.

Afrojack, David Guetta, Calvin Harris and Benny Benassi put up mainstream, chart-topping bangers. Las Vegas' Electric Daisy Carnival and Miami's Ultra Music Festival saw record attendance, and dance music's biggest stars headlined a stage at every major mainstream festival: Lollapalooza,...

Hip-hop lost a rap icon when Heavy D died Tuesday afternoon (November 8) at age 44, and the music industry is clearly mourning the loss. A string of stars, including Usher, Timbaland and Nicki Minaj, have shared their memories of the late Mc on Twitter.

Usher offered his sympathy to the family of the Jamaican-born rap heavyweight, tweeting, "This is too heavy, I can't believe it. Heavy D was just here. Truly gone too soon. My heart and support goes out to his family. R.I.P Heavy."

Mega-producer Timbaland couldn't even process the announcement, writing, "I'm at a loss for words rip heavy d."

After re-tweeting the late-mc's last message ("Be Inspired"), hip-hop's Harajuku Barbie also weighed in on the news. "We'll never forget you babe! #hiphopelite #RIPHeavyD," Nicki wrote.

From one raptress to the next,...

You ever heard the term "Save the best for last?" Well, that perfectly exemplifies the MTV Movie Awards.  The Oscars, The Golden Globes, The SAG Awards, The DGA Awards.  You know why those award shows occur towards the beginning of the year?  Because they don't mean squat.  I mean, any award show that doesn't occur halfway through the year is just culturally inferior, right?  And who would you rather trust: A bunch of old people in suits, or a 14 year old with a laptop?  Yeah, that's what I thought.  So if you want to hear from the generation that Matters, check out a list of winners after the jump.

Okay guys, the idiots who actually voted for this dreck are gone now (there 2 minute attention spam has ran out).  You can come back out now.

Andy Hamilton has revealed that the BBC was initially reluctant to commission Outnumbered. Hamilton, who created the partially-improvised comedy with Guy Jenkin, explained that the broadcaster was unsure about the show because of the failure of Ben Elton's programme Blessed. According to Chortle, Hamilton told an audience at The Comedy School: "The BBC had just commissioned a thing from Ben Elton about a family with a new baby which died on its arse for all sorts of reasons. "One is that it's actually a really boring subject - babies are just robots (more)...

Post his term in prison for assaulting a paparazzo, British actor-comedian Russell Brand uploaded pictures of his Sanskrit tattoo on Twitter. The tattoo, which reads Anuugacchati Pravaha (meaning ‘go with the flow’), is identical to the one sported by girlfriend and pop diva Katy Perry. The placement, too, is the same: both have them on the inside of the right arm. The duo joins a long list of international celebrities who’re flaunting tattoos in the ancient Indian language. Footballer Theo Walcott has one that translates into ‘Beautiful, Blessed, Strong, Intelligent’, while singer Rihanna and football star David Beckham famously sport ...
