Via Blabbermouth, we’ve got a three minute interview with Marilyn Manson.

Can’t wait to get my hands on his new CD, “Eat Me, Drink me”, which is coming out on June 5, 2007.

Curtis Jackson, better known as 50 Cent, has recorded two tracks with Dr. Dre and, “Come & Go,” ft. Eminem will be a single on the album. A G-Unit album is also coming out later this year, as well as a soon-to-be launched, “Official G-Unit Records” website as boasted here.

Listen to 50 Cent’s interview here.

Get to Hot Topic on May 1st to get Within Temptation’s EP, “The Howling”. There are a limited number and may sell out fast. Within Temptation is currently on tour with Lacuna Coil and they’ll be tearing it up on U.S. soil soon.

Visit their website or check out their Myspace.

Or, check out this cool video of “What have you done”:

I’m of the opinion that in listening to this, one has to have a certain sense of humor. This song must be done in jest. With Peter Steele’s dark, doom-like voice, singing these words seems to be what they didn’t want to achieve: sounding corporate.

I like Type O Negative, don’t get me wrong. Toward the end of the song, it got easier for me to like it. Maybe it’s one of those things that just grow on you.

What do you think?

Update: Type O Negative is on tour with Celtic Frost and Brand New Sin. Read about it here.

The last time I participated in Darren Rowse’s Problogger contest, I had a lot of fun. I wrote about Britney Spears’ 2007 possible comeback and actually won a $100 gift card.

These contests are a fun and creative way to get people who normally wouldn’t share the link love, to do so. I can’t wait to do this again. It sounds as if the prize will be pretty nifty this time around, too.

Good luck to all that enter, I’ll be there in the mix, too.

This is a really good and at the same time, weird video of Celine Dion doing a duet with the king, Elvis Presley. Kudos to American Idol for making this happen.

Creepy, but still good.

Rapper Eve Jeffers, all known to us as “Eve”, was arrested Thursday for suspicion of DUI after crashing her Maserati into a divider on Hollywood Boulevard.

From the article:

Police officer Martha Garcia of the Los Angeles Police Department reported the accident occurred at around 2:45 a.m., when the 28-year-old rapper, born Eve Jeffers, lost control of her gold-colored ride and smashed into the cement median at the intersection of Sycamore Avenue.

Eve was handcuffed and taken into custody by Los Angeles Police Department officers just before 3:00 am. She was released several hours later after posting $30,000 bail. She is scheduled to return in court on May 17 to face a misdemeanor charge.

The entertainer did submit to testing to determine her blood alcohol level and according to TMZ.com, Eve’s blood alcohol level was “double the legal limit.”

This just goes to show you that even though you’re a celebrity, you’re not above the law.

Still the top six, American Idol contestants were given a reprieve from any ousting from the show due to the Idol Gives Back charity event. And for your viewing pleasure, they will kick off two wannabes next week.

Read the entire story here.

First up on this special episode of American Idol, Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell travel to Africa to learn of the deplorable conditions of living in such poverty. Ryan looks like he could use a shave and Simon looks sad and emotional, for once.

To lead off the competition tonight is Chris Richardson singing, “Change the world” by Eric Clapton.

I wasn’t too fond of this version of the song. I’m a fan of Clapton’s music and this didn’t come close for me. The judges seemed to eat it up, but I don’t think so!

The judges visited Louisiana, Kentucky, Chinle, and Atlanta, to see poverty in our own nation.
Next up is Melinda Doolittle singing Faith Hill’s song, “There will come a day”.

Very nicely done, I like her vocals. She is going to be hard to beat this season.

Blake Lewis is up next to answer a viewer’s question as to what his biggest sacrifice, which is his family. He sings John Lennon’s “Imagine”. The song lends itself to blandness and I don’t think it was a good song choice for Blake.

Next up is Lakisha Jones, singing Fantasia Barrino’s “I believe”.

It was a little rough in the beginning and somewhat pitchy, but I don’t see this as a real competition if Lakisha goes before Chris Richardson.

Up next is Votefortheworst’s choice, Phil Stacey. He is asked what he misses most about home, to which he answers, his babies. He sing’s Garth Brooks’ “The change”.

I think he butchered it, just my two cents, though.

Finally and last, but not least is Jordin Sparks singing “You’ll never walk alone”.

I wasn’t as impressed as I normally would be with her singing. It seemed to me that she was shouting a bit and it sounded fake. I disagree with the judges on this one, too.

On Late Night With David Letterman, Sanjaya Malakar presents the top ten things he learned from American Idol.

Too much buzz about Sanjaya, I know, but this is funny stuff.
