Tom Reynolds of Groundlings fame is creeped out by the too-tawdry, overly-obsessive, weirdly-whacked love songs of our day and he's written a book to make his case. In Touch Me, I'm Sick: The 52 Creepiest Love Songs You've Ever Heard, Reynolds calls out 52 songs for scrutiny (from Slipknot to Melissa Ethridge to the Beatles) and dissects every drop of their creepy essence. His list includes these gems:Every Breath You Take by The Police -......

Pictured are soon-to-be newlyweds Ashlee Simpson and and Pete Wentz receiving early a wedding/house-warming gift from Travis Barker -- his sold-out Ghettoblaster Boombox thing-thang. The damned thing is not just sold out, but going for $600 on eBay. The tattooed rocker held a release party just over a week ago in Los Angeles at Central Hollywood with DJ Spider. Two days after the event the i931 Ghettoblaster sold out at Barker’s boutique store in......

In his recent blog post on friendsorenemies.com Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz, with his girlfriend Ashlee Simpson in the background, announced that they plan to make something that cannot be illegally downloaded: a baby. In the video the two of them, who've dated since mid-2007, say that the "release date" is july 2008, and then pose with Simpson's baby bump.

Unintentional cacophony at it's finest. The pre-taped keyboards kick in a hair faster than they're supposed to, throwing the entire song into a beautifully out of tune dissonant noisefest. What does the band do? Finish the song, of course. All 6 and a half horrible minutes of it. If this was Ashlee Simpson, you would have heard about it by now. But this is Van Fuckin' Halen!......

In what seems like a sad Ashlee Simpson-esque flashback, poor Britney had some technical difficulties at her most recent “comeback” gig last night at the House of Blues in Orlando. No, no, her new wig (which was long and blond by the way) didn’t fly off. According to People, when the cd or record she was lip syncing “Do Something” to began to skip, she was forced to improvise, which in this case meant......

New wave/Swedish pop cuties Peter, Bjorn and John played a sold out show at the Roxy last Thursday to an attractive crowd of hip haircuts and industry contacts. The lights blinked perfectly mod (like big, candy buttons) and dotted a pattern of emerald with fuchsia and robin’s egg blue with burnt orange. A buzzy, space-age cue ushered them to the stage, and they greeted us with a shy hello. This was their first performance......

There are a few things that really suck about living in LA. And right up there at the top of the list is when something gets edited out of a tape-delayed live broadcast and we don't get to see it. Today, while everyone in the world is talking about Ashlee Simpson's big Saturday Night Live lip-synch snafu, many Angelenos are scratching their heads. That's because NBC4 aired an edited version of the incident, in......
