Here’s a guest blog by Josh out of Interestment… Contrary to what your destroyed and embittered careers advisor screamed into your face - flecks of saliva spattering your cheeks - becoming an actor isn’t just a hobby, it’s a job. Just look what happens when non-actors like Britney Sp...

On February 6, 2007 Steve Jobs wrote his “Thoughts On Music” on the Apple website. He explained Apple’s need to ‘license rights to distribute music from others,’ mentioning Universal and the other large record companies. This ubiquitous statement may now be the death nell for alrea...

Obviously, we need to talk about the new song that takes over the top of Billboard's Hot 100, and the mind-blowing record it sets. But before we do that, let's talk about Hilary Swank.

50 Cent and Eminem Come Back     Just when those that don’t want to hear any more about Hailey, Kim, Eminem, and 50 Cents so-called gangster life, the two are releasing more music to the public forcing us to hear more about Eminem’s daughter Hailey and his ex-girl Kim; not to mention the Hip H...

De’Angelo Wilson, 29, hung himself one day before Thanksgiving in a commercial building in Los Angeles. He had roles in 8 Mile, Antwone Fisher, The Salon and CSI NY. One week passed before authorities were able to find his family. D'Angelo's family couldn't afford to fly his body to Dayton, Ohio, ...
