Kind of a slow weekend ahead folks, even on the movie channels, Sunday's programming is particularly deplorable. Rejoice though, in the news that Sony, within the next three years, will be offering a video-downloading service through all its key products, including its televisions, computers, music players and videogame devices. It plans to give most of its products network and wireless capability in that same window of time. Yup, download Hollywood movies through your PS3, etc.......

The point of the show is to showcase videos, and music. Pete Wentz throws to videos, a panel of three video experts (including Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes) critiques the video premieres, artists from the premiering video chat with Pete, the studio audience votes on the videos with text messages, AND bands come in to perform live....

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. It will be interesting to see how Ashlee's father Joe Simpson handles the news.......

The kids really do get everything. Earlier we told you about a Dodger fan who heckled a future Hall of Famer out of his jockstrap. Now we're getting verification about a rumor we heard that Fall Out Boy were autographing some stuff In Blood! Is that emo enough for you, whiners? Lizy who works extensively on FOB's friendsorenemies here in LA took pictures and had this to say about the scene: "About a month......

Before we admit to liking Fall Out Boy, we just want to say that the easiest thing in the world to like are the cool things - Sonic Youth, Geto Boys, Iggy, Gwar, The Beasties. But to learn to appreciate something for what it is, and not for the pimply teens who also like it, takes a cultured and courageous critic. Not to mention an honest one. On paper you should have no problems......

So Mr. Editor wasn't in the mood to be on this rock spanking internet show-thing, but yours truly took the bait. The DL on AOL. See you think it stands for down low -- but it stands for downloaded. The internet can be clever and quick on its toes that way. Ah, that AOL. Their music channel is called Spinner and the DL is one of five links they have to different music reviews......

You gotta give it up to Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz. Fucker doesn't sing, he doesn't play lead guitar, he isn't even the cutest guy in the band, but somehow he has become the emo Puff Daddy. Bro's got a hot clothing line (Clandestine), he's pimping out up'n'coming artists and making them hit machines (yes that would be you Panic! at the Disco), he's on five-story-tall Gap ads, and now he's got a record......

To celebrate the Snakes on a Plane soundtrack which was released yesterday, Cobra Starship, the band who performs the theme song will be playing the Key Club tonight. Attendees can expect a plethora of special guests. We can imagine some good odds of a Fall Out Boy or two, random celebs, throngs of kids with digital cameras, Marc Brown, and a red carpet @ Key Club The Neville Brothers, The Meters, Brass Monkey Brass......

Today we bring you a photo from MC Brown, who attended Warped at Dodger Stadium and snagged this sweet pic of Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz posing with some fans. Wentz sang one tune with The Academy Is... and basically gave back to the community, since Warped was the community that helped launch the Illinois emo act. Meanwhile up in Canada, Raymi the Minx was pondering "THINGS I LIKED, USE TO LIKE, NO LONGER......
