Sure, sure, everybody is going to just report that Kanye West went on another rant at Wireless Festival last night. But honestly? They’re focusing on the wrong thing. What’s way more interesting is that Kanye played three Drake songs during last night’s set.

Also, the fact that Kanye was covering for Drake.

Kanye already headlined London’s Wireless Festival on Friday night, but when Drake was sick enough to cancel his own Saturday night headlining slot last minute, Kanye stepped in. Considering how often people accuse Kanye of being selfish, this was a pretty selfless act.

And the situation is a little funny given Drake’s recent boasts on Lil Wayne‘s first single off Tha Carter V. “I’m the only one to get the job done / I don’t know a n—- that could cover for me,” Drake sings at the beginning of “Believe Me.” If there’s anyone at all who can cover for Drake—it’s Kanye.

Playing a medley of “Trophies,” “We Made It,” and “All Me,” Kanye also shouted out Drake. “My homeboy Drake can’t be here but we still gotta rep for him tonight,” he said.

These gestures are definitely further proof of their growing friendship, which was cemented when Kanye appeared at OVO Fest last year. Drake also thanked Kanye on Instagram late last night.

“Man I appreciate Kanye playing “Trophies” at Wireless so much,” Drake wrote. “I want to be at all the shows more than anything in the world right ...

Although last year saw the return of groups like Neutral Milk Hotel, The Pixies and My Bloody Valentine with new music, it still comes as a surprise that Pink Floyd will have a new album out in October. This year is the 20th anniversary of their last album, 1994′s Division Bell.

David Gilmour’s wife, Polly Samson, shared information about the new music via a Tweet last night, adding that it will be based on 1994 sessions with the late Richard Wright and that it’s his “swansong and very beautiful.”

The record will be called The Endless River, and Samson’s announcement sparked another, from singer Durga McBroom-Hudson, who toured with the band during the eighties and nineties. In a Facebook post, Durga confirmed her involvement with the project and shared a picture from the recording sessions.

“The recording did start during The Division Bell sessions (and yes, it was the side project originally titled The Big Spliff that [Pink Floyd's drummer] Nick Mason spoke about), which is why there are Richard Wright tracks on it.” she wrote in a further Facebook comment on the photo.

“But David and Nick have gone in and done a lot more since then. It was originally to be a completely instrumental recording, but I came in last December and sang on a few tracks. David then expanded on my backing vocals and has done a lead on at least one of them. That’s ...

Happy Birthday, 50 Cent! You are 38 years old today (July 6)! To celebrate, we enlisted the expertise of our resident psychic, Licorice Root, to shed some light on the year ahead. Now party like it’s your birthday, dude!

With a new album out last month, Animal Ambition, a TV show on Starz and another soon on Comedy Central, rapper, entrepreneur, and writer 50 Cent must be doing 50 things an hour. Surely, this 4th of July weekend should be special for 50 — it’s his birthday on July 6th! Let’s sneak a peak at his birth chart and see what fate has in store.

50 Cent was born in the sign of Cancer, a sign that is famous for two things. First, its ability to create a lovely home (no wonder he is so tight with neighbor Martha Stewart). Cancers understand security, both physical and emotional. Second, its tough exterior — crabs have difficult shells to crack! Getting to know a Cancer, as nurturing and empathetic as they are, can be a difficult feat.

50 Cent is likely doubly tough and impenetrable. In his birth chart, the sun is coming up right behind Saturn, the planet of discipline, restriction and boundaries. This combination influences him to be very serious, tenacious and rigid. He’s no doubt an extremely disciplined person, and the rules he created for living his life are never broken.

So what could magnetize fame toward such a serious — and probably shy ...

Jessica Simpson is officially a newlywed again! Jessica, 33, wore a custom gown by Carolina Herrera for the outdoor ceremony to wed former NFL player Eric Johnson, 34, today (July 5) in Santa Barbara, California.

The wedding was held at the San Ysidro Ranch with over 250 friends and family in attendance, including Jessica’s sister Ashlee Simpson and her fiancé Evan Ross, Jessica Alba and more.

In a statement to PEOPLE, the couple expressed their joy.

“We are overwhelmed with complete happiness and love having made our eternal commitment,” said their statement.

The couple began dating in May 2010 when they were introduced through friends, and have been engaged since November of 2010. But, they’ve had to put their wedding on hold twice, first for the birth of their daughter Maxwell, and then again for another pregnancy — their son Ace who was born last June.

Both the couple’s children were part of the ceremony. At just one year old, Ace was a ring bearer, and Maxwell, 2, was a flower girl and accompanied by Ashlee Simpson’s five-year-old son Bronx. What an adorable wedding party! Here’s a cute pic of Ace and Maxwell that Jessica posted on Instagram a few weeks ago:

Congratulations Jessica and Eric!

Shailene Woodley thinks that bullies should be a way bigger deal to parents than whatever Miley Cyrus is doing. The actress who plays the cancer-stricken and love-stricken Hazel in “The Fault In Our Stars” was Vanity Fair‘s July cover star, and she defended Miley in some of the outtakes from her cover story interview.

What it boils down to: Miley is just doing herself and it’s nobody’s business but her own.

“Miley isn’t rude or mean or cruel to anyone in her actions,” Shailene said. “She just does herself. And regardless of whether you agree with what she’s doing or not, it’s none of your business what she does. She’s not in the world doing mean things.”

Case and point—here’s one of Miley’s silly 4th of July outfits. Harmless, right?

“Why are all these parents or all these people freaking out about Miley being herself?” Shailene continued. “If you don’t want your kids to watch it, you know, you can change that situation at home, but don’t make a big deal of what she’s doing. Make a big deal about the bullies at school who are beating kids up.”

She may not consider herself a feminist, but she’s got strong-minded opinions about the way society judges young women and their behavior. You tell ‘em Shailene!

Now that we’re recovering from hangoversBBQ comas all the fireworks fun from America’s birthday celebration, we wanted to see how celebrities spent their 4th of July. From the looks of it, there was plenty of fun in the sun, festive outfits, sparklers and hanging with friends to go around.

Kickstarter has been used to back some fabulous things, but it’s also been used for some pretty ridiculous crowdfunding. The latest?

A kickstarter for potato salad.

Because sometimes you need a little help saving up for those expensive ingredients like pickles, potatoes, mustard and mayo! It turns out, Americans really, really do love their potato salad, and the project was just quirky enough to pick up steam.

So far, the man behind the project, Zack “Danger” Brown of Columbus, Ohio has successfully raised $1,823 to make his potato salad.

USA Today reported the story yesterday, and at that time, Brown had 87 backers and $340—in just one day that number has multiplied exponentially. During the writing of this post, another backer contributed $3, which is what pushed the new number to $1,823.

When we reached out to Zack by email, he admitted that he had no idea the project would get this big. “No way. With the project 1/10th of the way over, I thought we’d be somewhere between 1 and 2 dollars,” he wrote. “It has always been my dream to do something that would connect people all over the world. Did I think that would happen with potato salad? No. But Kickstarter has made my dreams come true!”

But, Brown hasn’t rested on his laurels–the goals for his potato salad making have increased as his funding grew. The original goal was a mere $10, after hitting that, Zack amended with some ...

Fresh off G-Unit‘s remix of YG’s “Who Do You Love?,” 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Tony Yayo and Kidd Kidd are on the remix game again, this time they take on Nic Nac’s beats from Chris Brown‘s top 10 single, “Loyal.”

50 Cent has promised both a mixtape and an official album, although there’s no word yet on release dates. Also check out the Unit rapping over the DJ Mustard-produced “Don’t Tell ‘Em” and their freestyle of Future’s “Move That Dope.”

Everyone’s favorite oddball comedy “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” has spread well beyond Philadelphia, and even past the borders of America itself. Yup, there’s now a Russian version of the show, and though it sounds almost bizarre enough to be part of a plotline, it’s actually true. The spinoff version will be called “It’s Always Sunny in Moscow” and there are clips of it posted on TNT Russia’s YouTube channel.

The name of the bar that they use in the Russian version isn’t called “Paddy’s Pub,” but instead, it’s titled “Philadelphia”—a great way to nod to the original show.

When you type the show’s name in Russian into YouTube, plenty more clips show up. Apparently, the first episode of the Russian version of the show aired on May 12 of this year.

All the characters are here: Max “Thick” Borisenko (Charlie Kelly), Sergei Kovalev (Dennis Reynolds), Alain Kovalev (Dee Reynolds) and Roman Makarov (Mac). Even the waitress, aka “girl with whom love Max” (Honestly, Google translate could use an update), is here!

Oh, and here’s the poster:

Here’s the synopsis we get from a translation of the description on the show’s official page:

“Strong friendship, true love, idealism, nobility and dignity, humility and kindness – all this has nothing to do with the heroes of the series ‘In Moscow Always Sunny.’ Four young heroes: Sergei Kovalev and Alain, Maxim Borisenko and Roman Makarov. They went to school together. They have their own business — a pub ...
