Tom Hardy Rumored To Be Considering Lead In Elton John Biopic

May 29th, 2013 James Shotwell

Hold me closer, tiny Bronson. Things are potentially about to get very interesting.

Hollywood has been kicking around the idea of an Elton John biopic since the days of Almost Famous, and it seems things are really starting to come together. A new film currently titled Rocketman is being developed right now by director Michael Gracey and executive producer Elton John. The work is being described as “a biographical musical fantasy that weaves together the life of Sir Elton John and his music,” and just this morning some intriguing potential casting news found its way online.

Tom Hardy, who …

Ray J Has No Shame; Hires Kim Kardashian Lookalike For “I Hit It First” Video

April 29th, 2013 James Shotwell

Ray J has been receiving a wealth of publicity over the release and subsequent promotion of his new single, “I Hit It First.” The song features lyrics that most critics claim make direct references to the rapper’s relationship with sex tape star Kim Kardashian, including the line “I had her head going north and her ass going south / But now baby chose to go West,” but Ray J initially denied such claims. In fact, he went so far to fight those accusations up front that he tried telling people the lyrics were simply a story made up …

Ryan Gosling Planning To “Take A Break” From Acting

March 20th, 2013 James Shotwell

After appearing in (roughly) every third film released over the last year, The Place Beyond The Pines star Ryan Gosling has expressed a desire to take a break from acting in the near future.

In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Gosling explained that he feels the time has come to take a step back, stating “I’ve been doing it too much. I’ve lost perspective on what I’m doing. I think it’s good for me to take a break and reassess why I’m doing it and how I’m doing it. And I think this is probably a good way …

Kelly Clarkson Responds To Accusations Made By Clive Davis In His New Memoir

February 19th, 2013 James Shotwell

Clive Davis’ highly-anticipated memoir hit shelves today, and buried amongst the decades of stories he has to share is an in-depth account of what exactly occurred between him and former American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson a few years back.

If you do not recall, Davis and Clarkson reportedly had a falling out based on a conversation over her hit, “Since U Been Gone,” and it seems Davis now wants to set the record straight. However, Kelly Clarkson has already stepped forward and claimed nearly everything written about her in Davis’ book is false. You can read a message posted by …

DAMMIT: Blood On The Dance Floor Deny Break Up Rumors; Release New Single

February 19th, 2013 James Shotwell

Oh, internet. Why must you deceive us?

A website out of Australia stirred quite a bit of discussion this morning after posting that Blood On The Dance Floor would be putting their unique style of WTFPop to bed once and for all. The site believed, based on information from a man named AJ Maddah, that the end stemmed from the departure of one member, and even linked the split to the group’s recent decision to skip Soundwave.

Turns out, they were wrong.

Blood On The Dance Floor are not only still together, but they recently completed work on a brand …

RUMOR: Roster and Character Descriptions For ‘Justice League’ Revealed

January 2nd, 2013 James Shotwell

I know everyone is still excited for the plethora of superhero films coming out in 2013, but let’s skip ahead a bit and begin talking 2015 Summer blockbusters. Competing against Avengers 2 for box office domination will be Warner Bros. first outing with their own superhero collective, DC Comics’ Justice League, and this morning a rumored roster (character list) for the film began making the rounds across various film blogs.

For the record, everything that follows is still very much considered a rumor. Until DC or Warner Bros step forward and say otherwise (which they’ll likely never do), …

EDITORIAL: What The Hell Is Going On With Katt Williams?

December 10th, 2012 James Shotwell

I have spent the past week attempting to begin the following article, but the subject at hand hasn’t slowed down long enough for me to gather all the facts. It’s almost funny how in a time when everyone is more obsessed with celebrity than ever that the following story hasn’t been hitting headlines with the intensity of most trainwrecks, but it has become evident that Katt Williams is either in trouble or in need of help, possibly both, and it’s lead to some of the most bizarre incidents in recent memory.

Unless you pay close attention to direct-to-dvd comedy releases …

4Chan Members Fabricate Justin Bieber Cancer Scare; Fans Shave Heads To Show Support

October 26th, 2012 James Shotwell

Well played, 4Chan. The internet’s deepest rabbit hole of filth and violence has again made headlines for doing something quasi-good. Last night, a group of users from the popular image-based message board devised a campaign around the notion that Justin Bieber had developed cancer and was forced to shave his head. The pranksters covered their ground by developing a plethora of fake tweets, including one supposedly from Bieber himself, and the fake headline quickly started to make real waves across social networks. On any normal day this would be considered a win for the trolls, but the story doesn’t stop …

FINALLY: Dr Acula Break Up

October 26th, 2012 James Shotwell

We have not kept our distaste for New York’s Dr Acula too quiet over the years, and for good reason. On the few occasions we have come in contact with them since their early days as MySpace standouts they have continually shown zero respect towards us and gone as far as to attempt framing our writers more as digital bullies than critics. If they were assholes who made good music we would still tell you their songs were great, but that is not the case here, and we’re all pretty excited to finally say good riddance to this piss poor …

Contrary To Blogular Belief, Bon Iver Is Not Going On Hiatus

September 24th, 2012 James Shotwell

Rumors began to spread earlier today that folk favorite Bon Iver would be stopping, or at least going on Hiatus, and we’re here to let you know that is simply not the case.

For those unfamiliar with the story, fans and bloggers began their outcry when a new interview with Iver mastermind Justin Vernon on Minnesota Public Radio surfaced. During the interview, Vernon was asked what Bon Iver was “up to,” and Vernon responded:

“Winding it down. I look at it like a faucet. I have to turn it off and walk away from it because so much of …

Mark Hoppus Confirms Green Day & Blink-182 Tour Is NOT Happening, Admits It Is A “Good Idea”

September 10th, 2012 Justin Proper

Rumors have been swirling all weekend that Green Day and Blink-182 were gearing up to announce a 10-year anniversary edition of their hugely successful Pop Disaster Tour from 2002. We never ran the rumor because, honestly, we couldn’t find a single person to serve as a “source” for this information. Turns out, that was a good move.

As you may have already read, earlier today Green Day announced the first leg of their forthcoming North American tour, sans any details on who would be supporting them. Blogs saw this as an opening to again approach the idea of Pop Disaster …

UTG LIST: 15 Anniversary Tours We Want In 2013

August 27th, 2012 James Shotwell

2012 has been a year filled with reunions and anniversary tours. From New Found Glory’s run celebrating Sticks & Stones, to Taking Back Sunday’s nearly sold-out Tell All Your Friends dates this fall, it’s clear that nostalgia is big business for the modern alternative scene, and today we’re looking ahead to the future. 2013 is right around the corner, which means a whole new slew of seminal records will be hitting the decade mark. We debated as a staff for hours over which albums from 2003 mean the most, and now are beyond excited to share with you our …
