Proof that dudes who wear eyeliner and don't go out during the day can be, like, totally awesome: The Cure are NME's newest recipients of the "Godlike Genius" Award.
Surprise! W. Axl Rose hates Slash and blames everyone else for the time it took to release the Use Your Illusions albums and Chinese Democracy.
There's a lot to love about Dita Von Teese, but for me, it's mostly her looks. Still, she's decided that she will take on the music industry and release an album. Seriously. Please, Dita, don't do it! Just be pretty!
This story just will not go away... basically because it's sad and there are a lot of questions left. But, apparently Rihanna and her "allegedly" violent boyfriend Chris Brown are back together and staying at one of Diddy's houses in Miami.
