Dear Internet: All The Snickering About Madonna's Age Is Getting Real Old

This week Madonna's 12th studio album and dive into the deep end of the EDM pool, MDNA, came out. I didn't like it very much.

The Problem With... Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera's "Moves Like Jagger"

I gotta tell you something, readers. I haven't really followed The Voice, NBC's singing competition show. It was never a conscious decision.
