Unheard Songs From Kanye?
Kanye West reportedly got behind the DJ booth and played 20 brand new songs at a private event at a London night club Saturday night, according to Vulture. Recordings were not allowed, so there are no videos or audio from the intimate set. But fans who were there took to Twitter and described the tracks as “insane,” “hellish” and “ground-shaking.”

The Newest Actors In ‘Star Wars’
Pip Andersen and Crystal Clarke are about to make a name for themselves as the newest cast members to join “Star Wars: Episode VII.” Both are relative newcomers to the big screen, but you’ll be able to see Clarke in the film “The Moon And The Sun” alongside Pierce Brosnan and you’ve probably already seen Andersen in this 2012 Spiderman-inspired Sony commercial.

#RIPAlicia
Justin Bieber took a moment early Sunday morning to honor one of his superfans who passed away by tweeting #RIPAlicia. Beliebers started that hashtag after they learned that one of their own, Alicia Tamboia, was killed in a multiple vehicular accident on the 4th of July. Tamboia had met the “As Long As You Love Me” singer at several meet and greets, and other Bieber fans tweeted photos that she had taken with him.

Yes, “Game of Thrones” officially has its own line of fine wine. So while there’s no more episodes until next year, at least we have something to sip on when the show comes back.

The series of wines is a project from an Australian advertising agency called Common Ventures. The Sydney company isn’t officially linked to the series, they just wanted to give fans something to share while watching episodes. The wines are sourced from local Australian wineries, which means they’ll likely be as sweet as those celebrated varietals from Dorne.

Jane Burhop of Common Venture said that the wines are meant to be consumed, not collected, and that they might help ease the pain of the show’s brutal habit of killing off characters.

“Whether this becomes a coveted item for the fans or a bottle that is opened with every episode, this wine is made to be drunk with friends and to help soften the blow of the shock and heartache as our favorite characters are slowly killed off,” said Burhop, adding that the characteristics of the wines were meant to mirror the houses themselves. “The reds are all associated with the houses that are head strong and robust. The whites on the other hand are more cunning, perceptive and mysterious.”

The website continues in the same vein, drawing associations between the wine and the show. The series is set to launch in conjunction with the Season 5 premiere of ...

After an open casting call that spanned 11 US and UK cities and resulted in 67,000 imperial hopefuls auditioning for a role that would take them to a galaxy far, far away, “Star Wars: Episode VII” has added two total newbies to its impressively stacked cast. Meet Pip Anderson and Crystal Clarke!

“The Star Wars universe has always been about discovering and nurturing young talent and in casting Episode VII we wanted to remain absolutely faithful to this tradition,” said Lucasfilm president and producer of the film, Kathleen Kennedy. “We are delighted that so many travelled to see us at the open casting calls and that we have been able to make Crystal and Pip a part of the film.”

According to StarWars.com, the film is also taking a wee bit of a break in production — but don’t worry, it won’t affect the release date. “In August, the team will take a brief two-week hiatus while adjustments to the current production schedule are made as actor Harrison Ford recovers from a leg injury. Harrison is doing well and is looking forward to returning to the set soon. Shooting remains on track to wrap in the fall with the film scheduled for release on December 18, 2015.”

Now let’s get back to the newbies!

Of the two newcomers, Crystal Clarke is the latest American to join the force, though she has been studying acting in Glasgow, Scotland. In addition to Episode VII, Clarke has been a regular on the ...

David Fincher‘s adaptation of “Gone Girl” is one of the most hotly-anticipated films of the year. Why? Hmmm maybe because he directed both “Social Network” and “The Girl WIth The Dragon Tattoo,” and we loved both of them a lot.

Plus, there’s the fact that the novel the movie is based on was a best-selling sensation. So much of a sensation, in fact, that today Twentieth Century Fox revealed a series of posters that tease, yup, another trailer. Groan. Teasers for a trailer? That’s sooooo 2014.

Whatever, we’re so excited for it that we’re biting anyway. The four new posters contain further clues about the disappearance of Amy Dunne (played by Rosamund Pike), and one shows a photo of her with her husband Nick Dunne (played by Ben Affleck) and several friends toasting at their wedding. But the photo is sealed in an evidence bag that’s ominously marked with “Happy Anniversary.”

The other shots also have the phrase “Happy Anniversary” and include a scalpel, a red thong, and a note that reads “This man may kill me.” Of course, the bottom half of the note has burnt marks, indicating, there may have been more to the clue! Dun dun DUN.

Maybe tomorrow’s trailer will help us tie these clues back in with what we already know? Which, you can quickly recap by watching the first trailer here.

Basically, Ben Affleck can’t find his wife anywhere and he’s going insane trying to find ...

For every Keira Knightley there are approximately 54,392 other actresses out there who claim to be able to sing that, well, kinda-sorta can’t. But the “Begin Again” star can actually, totally, 100% sing. Like really, really sing for real real.

Her folksy tone is prominently on display throughout the entirety of the film (which, if we may be so bold, is an warm-fuzzy delight of musical loveliness. Even the critics agree!), and takes center stage in the video for its breakup tune, “Like A Fool.”

We get some candied Aimee Mann/Martha Wainwright vibes with a little bit of Beth Orton thrown in for good measure — what about you? Plus, this song breaks our heart in the best way.

This baby is like, 100% more badass than we are. Because for most wee toddlers the music of Nine Inch Nails is prooooooobably not going to be calming. But this baby is clearly not like other babies.

This baby is going to grow up into the sort of cool girl who dresses all in black and has a record collection filled with her parents favorite retro bands from the nineties, like Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails. (Natch.) She’ll probably perfect cateye makeup before any of her friends and wear vintage t-shirts that are actually, well, old.

She’s going to be one deep, philosophical baby: contemplating the meaning (or lack thereof) of life. After all, we’re all just a copy of a copy those that have come before us (at least that’s what Nine Inch Nails thinks). This baby is going to be that cool girl you wish was your friend in college.

For anyone wondering, the song playing in the video is “Copy of A” off Nine Inch Nail’s latest album Hesitation Marks:

Trent Reznor’s been tweeting a lot of his feelings lately, maybe he’ll find out about his latest superfan and give her some love?

Alright, Taylor Swift superfans: your time is now.

Because, holy cats, the Taylor Swift Best Friend Brigade is having a meeting this 4th of July weekend with a few of its east coast members and at this point, and even we, the pop culture obsessive that we are, cannot list every BFF in this photo. It is that epic a gathering, chockablock with some of our favorites—and Taylor’s too, clearly!

It’s up to you now, Tay fans, to act swiftly (har har har we’re so clever and also modest), to hit the comments with a list of every famous biffle in this photo. Bonus points if some of them aren’t famous and you still know their name anyway (that’s serious TaySwift commitment). This is the moment for which you’ve all been waiting.

If you want to cheat a little bit, feel free to use this photo by Jaime King for assistance:

So let’s go — who’s who? Can you name them all?

On the 4th of July, one of Justin Bieber’s superfans, 24-year-old Alicia Tamboia was killed in a multi-vehicle car accident.

The Beliebers started a trend to remember the Wingdale, New York resident using the hashtag #RIPAlicia. Thousands of fans who had never even met her shared photos of Alicia with Justin —— she’d had the chance to take pictures with him at several meet and greets —— creating a sort of virtual memorial.

Justin noticed the hashtag was trending, and added his own condolences to the movement.

His fans appreciated that Justin took a moment to remember Alicia, and the tweet has already been shared over 50,000 times.

Our condolences are with Alicia’s family during this difficult time.

It’s totally obvious that this alleged footage from the “Star Wars Episode VII” set is fake. But that doesn’t make it any less cool and/or worthy of appreciation.

Because somebody — in this case German YouTube user Frank Wunderlich — took the time to make Frankfurt airport look like an imperial starport, complete with star destroyers and AT-AT walkers and the death star in the sky. And even if it isn’t real, it sure is fun.

According to the description, Wunderlich claimed that it “Looks like the Story of Star Wars plays on Earth too in the next Episode. I took these pictures on my Flight back from the States to Germany at the Frankfurt Airport. Seems like the biggest German airport plays a key role as an imperial starport in the new episode — there have just been imperial forces at the scene. Maybe the Rebelboys hide in Berlin… :-D”

We’re sure J.J. Abrams has no plans to bring the imperial forces to earth, but still, you have to admit: wouldn’t it be neat?

Julia Louis-Dreyfus has, no doubt, had a huge impact on popular culture. She was on “Saturday Night Live,” she kills it as Selina Meyer on HBO’s “Veep,” and she was — of course! — Elaine Benes on “Seinfeld,” that bastion of nineties culture. But perhaps of all her accomplishments and everything she’s given us, it is, perhaps, her dancing skills that shall outlast them all.

The Elaine Dance.

Which is exactly why, that boogie down of terrible beauty, was paid homage in New York on Saturday Night when the Brooklyn Cyclones baseball team hosted an “Elaine Dance-Off” in honor of the show’s 25th anniversary. (The whole night was Seinfeld themed.)

Thankfully, intelligent game-goers with smartphones did what any heroic person would do: they recorded the dances and uploaded them onto the Internet. Who says Americans don’t look out for one another, eh?

As for the winner? That would be this Elaine — and it only takes a few seconds of viewing to see why:

Man, we’re feeling ready to gr-oo-oove now, aren’t you?
