Puddle Of Mudd is releasing their newest album, “Volume 4: Songs In The Key Of Love And Hate” on December 8, 2009 and we were just privvy to hearing the entire album.

The album starts out with the upbeat “Spaceship” and I can see how this song would catch on. It’s hip and I love the riffs, and it has a rockin’ groove to it.

The second song, “Keep It Together” is a bit slower, sort of a ballad-type track. This song reminds me of their more popular hit, “Blurry”. This song will definitely see some radio airplay. I’m loving it. The song really showcases the talent of Wes Scantlin that we’ve come to know and love. (continue reading…)

Yes, Alanis Morissette loves her some weed. I can just picture her curled up in a chair watching “The View”, toking from a bong. Wait, what?

She says that she uses the “herb” to help along her songwriting process…because there are only so many songs you can write about your cheating ex?

She said, “I’m all about moderation – as best I can be. As an artist, there’s a sweet jump-startng quality to it for me. I’ve often felt telepathic and receptive to inexplicable messages my whole life. I can stave those off when I’m not high. When I’m high – well, they come in and there’s less of a veil, so to speak. So if I ever need some clarity…or a quantum leap in terms of writing something, it’s a quick way for me to get to it.”

If that wasn’t tl;dr enough for you, she goes on…and on…and on:

She added, “I have a lot of friends who have wanted to specifically quit smoking marijuana because they felt that it was having a negative effect on their lives, and I absolutely supported them doing so. Then I have other friends who I’ve coerced into smoking because I thought it would be great for them. I’ve always resonated with people who are on the front lines. I’ve always felt that way about [boyfriend] Tom [Ballanco] and about the community around him – Woody Harrelson, Alicia Silverstone. I have a lot of friends around me who are very courageous and willing to ‘come out’ – and Tom is definitely beyond the front lines. Any fears that I had about cannabis were quickly assuaged. Now I feel like a professional!”

Thoughts?

John Mayer is a wanted man!

He just tweeted this little note, along with the above photo:

Ha!!! RT @angelinas427 http://twitpic.com/rn3a7 – @johncmayer is wanted by the FBI. being a ladies man is a dangerous thing.

What a dork. Truly.

If you’ve ever wanted to have a cologne or perfume that was made directly from your specific DNA, then look no further than Antiquity by My DNA Fragrance.

They’ve collected some hair from celebrities to create perfumes and colognes straight from their DNA. Marilyn Monroe? Check. Joan Crawford? Check. Michael Jackson? Check.

For an introductory price of $59.99, you can own “M” which the site claims to be made using hair follicles collected by John Reznikoff. Creepy.

Where does the fandemonium end?

If you believed for one moment that you could order two medium topping pizzas and 5 breadsticks from Pizza Hut and get three copies of Rihanna’s “Rated R”, then you are sadly mistaken.

Some Photoshop junkie took Pizza Hut’s holiday meal deal and took the liberty of adding a nice little photo of “Rated R” into the mix. And you won’t just get one copy of the album, you would get three. How thoughtful.

Here’s the before: (continue reading…)

Lady Gaga was performing her new song, “Teeth” from “The Fame Monster” when she took a spill on stage. She was in Montreal, Canada on November 27th and during the first twenty seconds of her performance, she fell on her butt.

She quickly recovered and performed her butt off. After the jump for the video! (continue reading…)

Jennifer Lopez’s new song, “Louboutins” has just been marked as the first single coming from her next album, “Love?”

Earsucker debuted the leaked version of the song on November 20th, here.

This song is a stinker, and so is the cover art. Sorry Lola, but this just isn’t working out for us. Maybe next time? It’s not you, it’s me. No, really it IS you. My bad.

Lady Gaga explained the meaning behind her new song, featuring Beyonce, titled “Telephone”. She said that she fears suffocation and not just the physical kind.

She said that she has a hard time letting her hair down, figuratively and gave us an explanation of the song. She said, “Fear of suffocation – something that I have or fear is never being able to enjoy myself. Cause I love my work so much, I find it really hard to go out and have a good time.”

She added, “I don’t go to nightclubs. You don’t see pictures of me falling out of a club drunk. I don’t go – and that’s because I usually go and then, you know, a whiskey and a half into it, I got to get back to work.”

Shea also said that it’s not someone on the other end of the phone that’s so bothersome, but a person in her head telling her to work harder. She concluded, “That’s my fear – that the phone’s ringing and my head’s ringing. Whether it’s a telephone or it’s just the thoughts in your head, that’s another fear.”

Rihanna had to change the title of her latest album, after getting some flack due to her choice.

The singer dropped her latest album, “Rated R”, on November 23rd and has revealed that the name wasn’t her first choice. She said, “I actually wanted to name my album, ‘Such A F***ing Lady’, but a couple of stores, a couple of major outlets didn’t allow that…That was the title for a while, but ‘Rated R’ made more sense because of the overall story. It’s a movie really, the album. But ‘Such A F***ing Lady’ – we take everything back to that – especially in our style.”

I can’t imagine Best Buy or Walmart buying that up in droves with that title, even if it’s more fitting as to her vision for the album. Having said that, I must say that I loathe censorship. She should have been able to keep her original album title, with no quips from the little guys.

Miley Cyrus says that she’s never afraid of meeting other celebrities because she feels that she is the coolest person ever.

When asked if anyone gets her starstruck, the singer replied, “No, I’m pretty cool. I’m pretty much the coolest person ever…”

Besides that, like most girls her age, she has a crush on Zac Efron and thinks Johnny Depp is hotter than Robert Pattinson.

In a recent interview, she said, “There are not many things about me that are like a normal teenage girl. But the one normal teenage girl thing is that I think Zac Efron is the hottest person in the world. I really, really like him. And it’s weird…it’s weird because he’s my friend. I think also the reason he is so sexy is because he and Vanessa Hudgens have been together since the first ‘High School Musical’ and…I think that’s really cool.”

When asked about People’s choice of Sexiest Man Alive, she said, “Johnny Depp is way hotter than Robert Pattinson, for sure.”

The season finale of “Dancing With The Stars” is tonight, and we’re all so excited to see Whitney Houston perform tonight. So far, the highlight of the show happened when they cut to Miss Piggy during the recap. At least Tom Burgeron knows how to recover!

Whitney Houston killed it! She brought the house down when she did “Million Dollar Bill”! You go girl!

The contestants will get another chance for some points from the judges in a final dance. Kelly and Louis are dancing the Viennese Waltz for their final dance and it’s just lovely. Good job Kelly! The judges raved about her performance and the crowd started chanting her name. Be proud, Kelly.

Mya and Dmitry did the Jive for their final dance and rocked it. Bruno said she never skipped a beat, and he’s right.

Donny and Kym are doing the Argentine Tango next, and they’re hooking it up! What a great dance and Marie looks so proud!
