Madonna Makes Her Way To Israel For The Start Of The ‘MDNA’ World Tour

Earlier this week we saw video of Madonna‘s tour stage for the MDNA World Tour being erected in Tel Aviv, Israel, where her tour will have its world premiere. Today we get to see photos of Madonna and her crew (including toyboy Brahim Zaibat and daughter Lourdes Maria) making their way thru JFK International Airport in NYC, NY as they make their way to Tel Aviv. Also featured below are a few spoilery photos from Madonna‘s tour rehearsals that give us a glimpse of what’s in store when the tour kicks off next week. Proceed with caution if you wish to remain unspoiled and don’t want to see too much of Madonna‘s MDNA World Tour.

Madonna and co. looked to be in mostly good spirits as they made their way thru the airport terminal. I’m sure they have some pretour jitters but I have no doubt that they are ready to put on one amazing show for the folks in Israel. I can’t even tell you how jealous I am of the Israelis right now. They get to see Madonna‘s show in just a few days and I have to wait until OCTOBER! (Read more...)

‘Nylon’ Magazine Releases An Alternate Shirley Manson Coverphoto

On Wednesday we got to see the insanely talented, intelligent and beautiful Shirley Manson on the cover and in the pages of the new Music Issue of Nylon magazine. Today we learn that Nylon has created 2 coverphotos for this year’s Music Issue and they want YOU to help them pick the best one. Click below to see the two competing Shirley Manson coverphotos and pick your fave … I must warn you, it’s a tough choice.

[Wednesday], we showed you our new NYLON cover with Shirley Manson. But we weren’t totally honest – there’re actually two covers. The one on newsstands features the rock empress in a dress by Gauray Gupta, cinched with a McQ Alexander McQueen belt. The other has Manson in a white lace dress by Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton. Which is your favorite?

I’m a sucker for an afro so I’m totally going with the LV dress photo as my fave but damn, if Shirley don’t look gooooood in the other photo as well. Which one is your fave? I’m still RELISHING in the fact that we have Shirley Manson and Garbage among us again! I understand that Garbage will be back in (Read more...)

Watch: Kelly Clarkson Debuts Heartfelt Music Video For New Single ‘Dark Side’

Kelly Clarkson has today unveiled her latest music video for her new single, Dark Side, and it is an intimate and emotionally driven portrayal into what appears to be a nod to Kelly’s past, and also just honest universal issues. The song opens with the lyrics, “there’s a place that I know, it’s not pretty, very few have ever gone..” and proceeds to show a young woman facing issues including an eating disorder, pill and alcohol addiction and a relationship breakdown, but it ends on a hopeful and inspiring note. Check out Kelly’s inspiring and very real new video…

“Everyone’s got a dark side, no one is picture perfect…will you love me, even with my dark side?” Kelly sings in her new single, Dark Side. With very little makeup on, the video shows a pared down version of the two-time Grammy winner.

Kelly is a beautiful woman and has openly discussed issues such as bullying and weight issues and debuted a gorgeous new look at the Billboard Music Awards where she performed. I think this video finds a good balance between being a catchy song with relevant issues, but it isn’t too didactic or obvious. Watch Kelly’s latest (Read more...)

SpaceX Capsule Dragon Successfully Docks At The International Space Station

On Tuesday we learned that Space Exploration Technologies successfully launched the first privately owned rocket into space. The SpaceX mission is to launch the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket into space so that Space Capsule Dragon could be delivered to the International Space Station currently orbiting Earth. So far, the mission has been a rousing success. Space Capsule Dragon successfully “landed” at the ISS and just completed docking. History, folks, was made again today. Click below to see photos and videos of this latest stage of the SpaceX mission.

The SpaceX Dragon capsule has just been successfully “captured” by the International Space Station. This marks the first time a commercial craft has ever landed at the ISS, as well as a huge step forward for private space flight … the capsule was grappled to the Station by a robotic arm … It has been a little over three days since the Dragon was launched by a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida. The launch was delayed several times but finally occurred on the morning of May 22nd. After that, the Dragon’s flight progressed smoothly, and it was cleared to approach the ISS. Over the next several hours, (Read more...)

Rapper Eminem Is Working On His Next Album

Rolling Stones magazine today reported that Detroit rapper Eminem has started work on his next solo record. The album will be his first solo venture for a few years, since 2010′s Recovery, and will be the followup to Hell The Sequel, the debut from his collaborative project with Royce da 5’9″ in the form of Bad Meets Evil. In the mean time Eminem is also completing work on a new album from the hip-hop group Slaughterhouse, which is due out June 12th. Are you an Eminem fan?

“I’m kinda getting into my next record a little bit,” the rapper said in an interview with Hot 97′s Peter Rosenberg this morning. The man who revealed that he was seriously bullied as a child and teen, and whose real name is Marshall, has been very busy making music of late, but he hasn’t done his own solo work for a while. He has been acting as the executive producer for the band Slaughterhouse’s new record, Welcome To: Our House, and collaborated with the rapper Royce da 5’9″ but for the past 2 years, Eminem hasn’t released, or spoken about, his own solo work. We don’t (Read more...)

A Date With Morrissey

Yesterday was a nice, chill day for me. It was a non-run day so I got to spend some time doing other things … like hanging out with my friend Tony, who I hadn’t seen in ages. Tony and I grabbed a late lunch/early dinner at Joan’s on Third so that we could catch up on one another’s lives. He and I are going to try and reconnect for another hang sesh next week. Last night, I chilled on the couch and just relaxed. I wanted to save up my strength because today I’m taking a drive up to Bakersfield to see Morrissey in concert!

Y’all know how much I love Moz so it shouldn’t really come as a big surprise that I’m trekking out to see him. He played San Diego earlier this week on his birthday and then he plays Bakersfield tonight … no LA date so, road trip for me. Honestly, I’d drive almost anywhere to see the man in concert. He is truly one of my fave performers and I will never tire of seeing him in concert. I can’t wait!!

I hope all y’all have a great Friday and a great Memorial Day weekend to (Read more...)

Keira Knightley Is Engaged To Her Rocker Beau James Righton

E! News has confirmed today that the British beauty, Keira Knightley is engaged to her rocker boyfriend of a year and a half, James Righton, of the British indie rock band, The Klaxons. Keira and James have been together since 2011 after being introduced by a mutual friend and within weeks became inseparable, moving in together, and keeping a low profile as a couple. The two rarely attend celebrity events together but are reportedly extremely tight, and now engaged to be married. Congratulations are in order for these two young lovebirds.

Unsurprisingly, there aren’t many details yet since the engagement is still very fresh news and also because Keira is known for being a very private person, choosing not to take part much in the media crazed industry which she is a part of.

“I can confirm that Keira is engaged to be married to James Righton,” Knightley’s spokeswoman said, declining to give any further details.

E! News broke the story but we don’t know when or how the proposal took place, and subsequently of course there isn’t any indication yet about a possible wedding date. I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t hear much more from the (Read more...)
