Trent Reznor is good at soundtracks. We already know this based on his work for “The Social Network”—which won an Oscar in case you need reminding.

Now, he’s reunited with Atticus Ross to score the highly-anticipated David Fincher adaptation of “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn.

They’ve released a teaser for the soundtrack on NIN.com, so if you’re in the mood for something creepy tonight, throw this on. While you’re at it, contemplate the way that massage parlor music inspired the duo to craft this electronic, orchestral mash-up into something spooky enough to turn the chilling nature of this story way up.

You can also watch an official trailer for the film that stars Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike below.

Keyshia Cole was arrested early Friday morning (September 19) in Los Angeles and booked for misdemeanor battery at the Van Nuys station.

TMZ reports the singer allegedly got into a fight with another woman at the West L.A. home of the rapper and Cash Money records co-found Birdman, who she is rumored to be dating.

Cole was released this afternoon after she posted a total of $46,000 in bail—$20,000 and $26,000 for two counts respectively.

After her release, Keyshia posted a selfie with her puppy, along with several other Instagram quotes that imply there might be a rift between Cole and Birdman, who was born Bryan William.

Prior to the incident she posted another emotional image:

Technically, Cole is still married to NBA player Daniel Gibson, although the pair split up in March.

Well, it looks like Justin Bieber is busy changing up more than just his relationship status. Today he was practicing guitar, playing with his new iPhone and, uh, purposefully letting a little stubbly ‘stache appear on his beautiful face:

Justin knows what we’re all thinking: GET RID OF IT. The offensive, ugh-inducing ‘stache must be gone. But he already knows how we feel of course: “I’ll shave it calm down” he captioned the photo.

Okay, as long as he knows that we do not approve. And after all that work he just put in to patch things up with Selena, wonder how she feels, hmmm?

You can see another angle on his barely-there facial hair while he admires his brand new iPhone 6:

And here while he FaceTimes his guitar lesson:

Just waiting for the ‘stache-free selfie now, Justin. You can easily take one with your new iPhone to alleviate our fears. We’ll be waiting.

Back in May of this year, six Iranians were arrested for making a video of themselves dancing around the city of Tehran to Pharrell‘s irresistibly upbeat song “Happy.”

The video was deemed to be offensive because men and women appeared together and the women were unveiled. The group was arrested, and the government forced them to apologize for the clip on state television. The nonprofit International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran explained that they were considered guilty for “participation in the making of a vulgar clip” and “illegitimate relations between members of the group.”

Now, they have been formally charged for the crime. The Iran Wire reports that their punishment, which was issued on Wednesday (September 17), is six months in prison and 91 lashings. One member, assumed to be video’s director, was given the increased sentence of a year in prison plus the lashings.

However, there is a catch: the sentence is a suspended one, which means as long as they don’t commit a similar offense within the next three years, their punishments won’t actually be carried out.

“A suspended sentence becomes null and void after a certain period of time,” the group’s lawyer Farshid Rofugaran told Iran Wire. “When it’s a suspended sentence, the verdict is not carried out, but if during this period a similar offense is committed, then the accused is subject to legal punishment and the suspended sentence will then be carried out as well.”

For his part, ...

Well, thanks to a Senator Kirsten Gillibrand we officially have the best throwback pic of Connie Britton in existence.

In a strange twist, Connie aka Coach’s Wife on “Friday Night Lights” and spotlight-stealing powerhouse Rayna Jaymes on “Nashville” was once college roommates with New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.

Gillibrand recently published her memoir Off The Sidelines that reflects on her experience as a woman in the Senate, but this adorable ’80s pic is from way before Gillibrand ever walked the halls of the Senate.

The photo is taken from the pages of that book, the pair attended Dartmouth together and the picture is from their time studying abroad in Beijing, China.

And Connie had nothing but kind words for her former roomie.

“I’m so intensely proud of her and it’s really inspiring to watch her because I do know what a powerhouse she is,” Britton told Huffington Post Live about Senator Gillibrand. “She was like that when we were living in China together. She was already at that time a real leader amongst our students there and, you know, almost larger than life — even back in college.”

But maybe that’s the best thing about this photo, it shows both of these strong, talented women back when they were just two normal college girls. But is Connie ever going to live this haircut down?? It’s definitely a contrast to her current, flawless Nashville-diva ‘do—Connie Britton’s hair even has ...

Yesterday, reports began to surface that Kanye West had paused his show until everyone stood up—and mistakenly asked handicapped attendees to do so as well. But new footage of the show paints the events in a different light. While Kanye was eager to get fans on their feet and enjoy the show, he just went right back to the performing after he realized the fans were disabled.

The crowd initially boos and chants “stand up” along with Ye, but as soon as Kanye realized the fans were wheelchair-bound, he said it was totally fine and launched back into the song.

Watch the incident here:

A source with ties to Kanye’s camp who was at the show said that the incident was blown out of proportion and pointed out that Kanye always asks for audience participation. He certainly has no malicious intent toward handicapped fans.

In fact, he recently took the time to give a disabled fan in Austin, Texas the mic he used while performing the show. Did that spread like wildfire to every outlet? Nope, most people probably didn’t even see that story.

Was it an awkward moment, yes, but the video definitely proves it wasn’t a malicious one.

Recently, Taylor Swift paid a huge compliment to Kendrick Lamar. In a Rolling Stone cover story about the country-turned-popstar singer, she revealed that whenever she feels down, she listens to Lamar’s song “Backseat Freestyle” off his critically-acclaimed album Good Kid, M.A.A.D City.

The article ended with her putting on the song:

“You want to know a trick to immediately go from feeling victimized to feeling awesome?” she says. She pulls out her phone and hands me the earbuds: “This is my go-to.” She presses play, and Kendrick Lamar’s “Backseat Freestyle” fills the speakers.

Obviously, everyone wanted to know what Kendrick thought of this news? He was thrilled.

“Some people always try to lock it down and categorize it for one particular listener,” Lamar told the AP when asked about the story at the ONE Musicfest in Atlanta on Saturday (September 13) night. “But it moves all, even people from other genres. I appreciate Taylor Swift for supporting not only my music but just the hip-hop culture. There’s really no gap. It’s music and it feels good.”

Hip-hop has definitely come to the forefront in the culture as of late, and Lamar is part of that movement. During his performance that night, he reflected on that growth.

“I remember when I used to perform in front of 200 people,” Kendrick said. “Now, it’s a sea of people. I’m glad to see the growth here. It speaks volumes about the hip-hop culture.”

Now that Taylor is venturing into bona-fide pop star territory, ...

A brass sculpture of Amy Winehouse was unveiled today (September 14) in London. Amy’s father Mitch Winehouse unveiled the statue on what would’ve been the singer’s 31st birthday today in Camden.

Designed by Scott Eaton, the life-sized statue was erected in memorial at the Stables Market, which is near to the house where the singer tragically died of alcohol poisoning in 2011.

Her father expressed his gratitude to Eaton for designing such a true likeness of his daughter.

“It is incredibly emotional to see Amy immortalized like this, but Scott has done an amazing job in capturing her,” he said. “It is like stopping her in a beautiful moment in time. The Winehouse family are very grateful to Scott and we really hope Amy’s fans love the statue. We want to remind everyone of her talent and that her legacy, through her music and the Amy Winehouse Foundation, carries on. Camden meant a lot to Amy and vice versa and to have her forever standing at the heart of the hustle and bustle of that area just fits.”

Originally, Camden planned to place the monument on a balcony in the city’s Roundhouse venue, but it was moved to the market in order to be more accessible for visitors.

The sculptor shared his inspiration for the posing of the statue, saying that he hoped to capture her personality in his work.

“The pose had to capture Amy’s attitude and strength, but also give subtle hints of ...

When Nicki Minaj and Beyonce dropped the “Flawless” remix a few weeks ago, we all collectively lost our minds. But little did we know that Queen B and Nicki were going to heat things up even further by performing the song together twice(!) in Paris.

The Paris shows are the On The Run tour performances that will be used for HBO’s special on the tour, so obviously Bey wanted to amp things up to make them feel like more of an event.

While Bey and Jay Z are used to the superstar status of their shows, Nicki was, well not as accustomed to the sheer magnitude of the tour. She’s been in a social media frenzy during the two-day stint as a special guest, and her palpable excitement is adorable. It’s so cool to see her as both a performer and a fan herself of Bey and Jay.

Here’s some of her more memorable posts since this whole thing unfolded.

The Initial Performance Shot

The first unveiling of their appearance together on Friday night… in matching Versace as if their mere presence together wasn’t already enough.

Onika In Lights

A call-out to Beyonce’s awesome name-drop in the remix version right before Nicki’s verse? Yes.

A Tribute to Bey & Jay

Nicki made this one a thank you and shout out to the couple who let her share in their tour experience: “Tonight was their last show which made it even more special. ...

As usual, rumors are following the Carter family’s every move, and the latest report is that Beyonce is pregnant with the couple’s second child. Where did this rumor come from? And what do people think about it? Most importantly, is it true or not? Let’s break it down.

The Evidence:
The rumor of Bey’s second pregnancy began to circulate after Jay Z allegedly changed some lyrics to his Magna Carta Holy Grail track “Beach Is Better.” Jay performs the song regularly as part of the couple’s On The Run tour setlist, but during their Friday night performance in Paris (September 12) fans are alleging that he ad-libbed this line “cause she pregnant with another one.” There’s no video of the lyric change, but the rumor has been picked up by almost every site and publication.

The Reaction:
Fans are obviously chiming in with their thoughts, most of which are unequivocally delighted and exultant, like most of the BeyHive’s reactions to Bey are:

But fans are happy as long as she is too:

And some just want to know the truth!

Let me know if the Pope gets back to you with any news though, okay?

The Verdict:
We’re not sure. Beyonce already announced her pregnancy onstage once, and everyone remembers when Kanye decided to announce Kim’s pregnancy at a show—so it’s not completely impossible.

Still, it seems like they would be more direct. Usually, if Bey and Jay want to send a message, there’s no confusion about what their intent is. ...
