There are very few bands that I hate more than Taking Back Sunday. Linkin Park is one of em. Remember that dog that used to say that he'd like to poop on things. I'd like to poop on the Projekt Revolution tour. Then I'd like to smear that poop on other things that I hate, like the current White House, assholes who try to politicize things like global warming and pretend it isn't happening,......

They keep marketing it as a race, but the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach this weekend is far more party than race these days. Oh, there will be plenty of racing — Champ Cars, the American Le Mans series, and you really need to check out the drifters.

Our question about next week's "Tonight Show" line-up is how much did the producers of "Pulse" pay to get on Leno Wednesday and Thursday nights, did no one want to follow Will Ferrell on Thurs? The downside for the Kristen Bell, pictured, horror flick written by Wes Craven is it doesn't come out until August 11, the upside is......

by Bree McGuire I'm really not an arena-rock kinda girl-- I prefer the troubadour or spaceland, where I can get rockstar sweat on me without showing up 4 hours early and elbow-wrestling to the barricade. But if the bands have the energy to fill up the gaping concrete space, bring it on. Unfortunately we missed The Subways and Head Automatica and came in at the beginning of Angels & Airwaves set as they opened......
