As Doug Berman notes, the Federal Sentencing Reporter issue dedicated to sex offender issues is out. You can find the details here. I was honored to be one of the contributors and as I noted I have also made my......

Ovarian cancer, which is known as the silent killer because it's so hard to detect in early stages, killed 15,000-plus women in the US last year. But now, doctors are a step closer to developing a way to screen for it. [Us News & World Report] Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams, who just got engaged...

  So Ryan Adams and Mandy Moore really went and did it. They tied the knot quietly yesterday in Savannah, Georgia. The coverage of this leads us to reflect, as usual, how much of a waffler Ryan can be in his looks (much like the quality of his music can vary wildly, as Scanner Brian has noted)....

So, we had our first night of the American Idol finals. Most of the performances were pretty mundane but there were a couple of standouts who might go pretty far in this year’s competion. First, let me ask what in the hell was that feathery thing on Paula Abdul’s shoulder? It looked like...

Our boy The 1/3 turned us on to this important happening in June. A bunch of bands that longtime Buzzgrinder readers will recognize and appreciate are reuniting for a good cause. I just went ahead and re-posted the entire blog entry from The Huntingtons about the event. Saturday, June 13, 2009 at Ci...

Just like the color of Micheal Jackson’s skin … American Idol is slowly fading. Tonight was “supposedly” Michael Jackson night … but after hearing Idol’s “Baker’s Dozen” perform tonight, I only heard a few songs that was remotely similar to a Mic...

It's time for Idol to really start now. Normally, I already have a favorite but not this year. Most of the kids we've only seen once. Hard to become a fan with only 1 1/2 minutes of singing. Anywho, on with the show! Ryan start off standing on top of the "Big Stage" and then something strange happen...
