Neil Young Has Filed For Divorce From Pegi Young, His Wife Of 36 Years

by 9 mins ago

Neil Young has filed for divorce from his wife of over three decades, Pegi Young. The highly respected rock and folk musician filed a petition for dissolution of marriage back in July in the couple’s hometown of San Mateo, California, according to Rolling Stone—and links to the city’s open access court files confirm the news.

A hearing for the divorce has been scheduled for December 12, but Neil Young has not yet issued a statement about the split.

The couple first met when Pegi was a waitress at Bella Vista restaurant in Woodside, California near Young’s ranch, and he tells something close to the story of those moments in the song “Unknown Legend” off Harvest Moon. The couple were married in 1978, and she began to provide backup vocals for Neil on tour during the 1990s.

Their son Ben was born with cerebral palsy, which inspired the musical couple to start the Bridge School—an education center for kids with extreme physical impairments—back in 1986. Each year, the couple host a star-studded music festival that helps support the school. Their last performance together was actually at the 2013 Bridge School benefit in October of last year.

Pegi is musical herself and has put out three solo albums since 2007, occasionally accompanied by Neil on guitar. Although they were slated to appear together to perform at Farm Aid in Raleigh, North Carolina, on September 13, Pegi’s name was recently taken off the lineup.

This is all very sad, but it’s ...

Watch Your Old Droog Put Those ‘Nas In Disguise’ Rumors To Rest

by 1 min ago

Your imaginary Halloween is over, rap fans.

Your Old Droog is not Nas.

The previously unknown and unseen rapper revealed himself in a viral video titled, “Just Rhymin’ With Skizz,” Tuesday (August 26) and he’s nothing like you imagined.

While it’s true that the rapper with intricate lyrics may sound like the legendary Illmatic MC, he looks nothing like him. The impish, bearded wordsmith is gruff, obviously laser-focused and, surprise, surprise, not even African-American.

“Laid low for some time, made sure every line tight/Sh-t was looking bleak until I got my mind right/Shine the light, the reach of these other rappers is finite,” he raps in a vinyl-laden house studio.

Now that all eyes are on the Coney Island spitter, who draws his lyrical inspiration from the likes of Big L and Kool G Rap, it’ll only be a matter of time before he gets his own shine for just being himself.

“I see all this sh-t as a compliment,” Droog told the New Yorker in reference to the Nas comparisons. “I mean, I should take it as a compliment, right?”

Lady Gaga And Tony Bennett Strip Down For The ‘I Can’t Give You Anything But Love’ Video

by 18 mins ago

Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett bring that old jazz back in the video for “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love.”

Set in a recording studio, the clip finds the unlikely duo in their bare essence, Bennett dapper as usual and Gaga devoid of her signature shocking, over-the-top presentation, effortlessly singing the timeless jazz standard.

The footage is a mash-up of different sessions and appearances that seem to contradict the notion that two incongruous performers can’t come together to make beautiful music.

While Gaga is overwhelmingly subdued, her playful energy still shines through as she preens and shimmies to her collaborator’s smooth crooning.

“I Can’t Give You Anything But Love” will be on the duo’s upcoming duets LP, Cheek to Cheek, which is slated to be released on September 23.

Why Did Justin Bieber Just Regram This Selena Gomez Selfie?

by 20 mins ago

So, our questions about the state of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez’s relationship have been endlessly swirling in a whirlpool of Instagrams, subtweets and other not-so-subtle messages. But this latest clue (jinkies!) comes in the form of Bieber regramming an adorable #selfie that Selena took tonight and posted on her own Instagram.

BTW girl, your lip liner game is on point. And yes, we see your new necklace—it’s adorable.

But, what does it mean? Is he just Insta-stalking her? Or is this another sign that perhaps, he was the photographer and he wanted to reiterate that point by posting the photo on his own Insta? We don’t even have a caption to help expand on the mystery.

Selena is set to appear on “Chelsea Lately” tonight for the series finale, so perhaps she’ll speak about their relationship? Or maybe Justin will join the ginormous guest list—that includes the likes of 50 Cent, Miley Cyrus and Gerard Butler—and show up as well.

For the time being, we’ll keep scouring for clues that their love is, indeed, timeless. Never say never, right everybody?

Justin Bieber Compares Himself To Princess Diana After Getting Rear-Ended By The Paparazzi

by 9 mins ago

Justin Bieber got rear-ended by the paparazzi on Tuesday (August 26) and let’s face it, no matter how you feel about the Biebs, there are times that paps can put celebrities in danger.

Trust me, I’m not the type to take pity on multi-millionaires when they complain about the pittances of the rich and famous lifestyle, but the more that celebrities speak out about the behaviors of the paparazzi, the more that I’ve come to see their side of things.

As they work tirelessly for that exclusive picture or video, paparazzi can put celebrities in dangerous situations. While Justin seems to be fine after the car accident, he’s no stranger to the dangers of these sorts of situations. A paparazzo who was taking pictures of Justin’s Ferrari died last year when he was struck by another car — proving it’s a hazardous game from both sides.

The most infamous and tragic example of this, of course, is Princess Diana — who died in a car accident while fleeing from paparazzi. It was her case that Justin invoked after his incident today.

And the pop star is just the latest in a long line of celebrities who have openly decried the ever-present photogs.

Of course, Kanye West is very vocal about how the pressures of paparazzi have negatively affected his life. And Miley Cyrus has also spoken out against them in the past, including the 2011 incident when ...

by 1 min ago

On Sunday night, Usher and Nicki treated fans to a special live performance of their collab “She Came To Give It To You” at the 2014 VMAs. On Tuesday (August 26), they were at it again, this time with the release of the official video for the single off of Usher’s upcoming album.

As he’s been known to do, Ursh breaks it down in the club for the visuals to his latest, which take place at a dimly lit, packed venue.

Midway through the track, he’s joined by Nicki for her verse, and though there’s no dancing from the Young Money Queen, we do get some classic Nicki faces. Pharrell, who produced the song, is also on hand.

Usher’s new album UR should be out soon.

Take The Fifth Harmony ‘Bo$$’ Poll With Your Fave YouTubers

by 19 mins ago

The lyrics to Fifth Harmony’s “Bo$$” raise a lot of questions. Do I consider myself a Maybach or a Volvo? Do I hope to one day end up with a Kanye or a Ray J?

Miley Defends Her VMA Date After Questions Surface About Homeless Youth

by 1 min ago

Just like at last year’s show, Miley Cyrus was part of one of the most memorable moments at the 2014 VMAs. And this time around, it was for her decision to have Jeese Helt, a homeless 22-year-old whom she had met at the Los Angeles shelter My Friend’s Place, to accept the award for Video of the Year.

“My name is Jesse and I am accepting this award on behalf of the 1.6 million runaways and homeless youth in the United States who are starving, lost and scared for their lives right now,” Helt said, in a moment that seemed to touch everyone at the L.A. Forum and millions tuning in at home. “I know this because I am one of these people.”

But in the days since, Helt has come under scrutiny for his past. It’s one that includes an arrest in 2010 for an attempted break-in at a home in his native Oregon, as well as a warrant that was issued the next year for violating probation, according to the Daily Mail. The New York Daily News also reports that he has violated his probation on multiple occasions in the past.

Miley, though, on Tuesday (August 26), came out once again in support of her friend. She took to Twitter to both come to the defense of Helt — who flew home to Oregon on Monday to see his mother for the first time in three years, ...

If There’s A ‘Full House’ Revival On The Way, It Needs The Olsen Twins

by 10 mins ago

Looks like Uncle Jesse and the “Full House” crew might be getting a reboot!

According to the The Hollywood Reporter, Studio Warner Bros. Television is working on reviving the cult classic show. John Stamos — better known to “Full House” fans as Uncle Jesse, of course — is definitely on board for the revival, along with the show’s executive producer Bob Boyett and the creator of the show Jeff Franklin.

I know what everyone’s thinking, though: What about Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen? Where will the show’s reboot be without Michelle?

Well, there’s no word yet on whether or not the Olsen twins will be returning to the show, which might be a pivotal factor in its success.

For now, we know that Franklin is currently writing new scripts and that Candace Cameron Bure, who played D.J., Jodie Sweetin as Stephanie and Andrea Barber, who played Kimmy, are definitely involved. Bob Saget, who played Danny, and Davie Coulier, who was Joey, are also involved in “some capacity,” according to THR.

There have been rumors of the show getting a sequel of some sort recently, as Jimmy Fallon did a sketch with Danny, Jesse and Joey back in January right before he left his “Late Night” show.
