Les Paul, the pioneer of the electric guitar, died today at the age of 94 from complications related to pneumonia.
In addition to developing the first solid-body guitar, he also invented multi-track recording. This allowed different musicians and artists to record their part of a song without being present at the same time. Revolutionary, really.
Les Paul guitars are still one of the top sellers with an original 1952 model selling for as much as $250,000.
Paul and his innovations he...
As part of her promotional duties for her upcoming film, Jennifer's Body, in which she plays a hot, evil cheerleader who kills her male classmates, Megan Fox stars in this adorable PSA. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't like horror flicks, but I'm excited for this movie. It feels like it's going to be just campy enough to be wonderful. />

“It’s very, very difficult and people have no idea what they do to peoples’ relationships. They destroy them. The paparazzi and the public. The public wants to read about your personal life, and the paparazzi give it to them by nosing into your personal life and saying things that are just not true and horrible.”
Hayden Pantyline Panettiere blaming the paparazzi for ruining all her relationships. Because an 18-year-old hooking up with a 30-year-old was destined for such success had ...
Please, someone stop the bleeding! This week's episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 lost another four million viewers this week. The experts are weighing in on what could possibly be causing this once popular show's demise.
"I don't know if the show can make that new transition [from two parents raising eight kids to one parent raising the children]," said Robert J. Thompson, founding director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University. "It's like if ...
Yep, according to Family Guy star Seth MacFarlane, Stewie is conflicted now, but hopefully he'll come to grips with his truth. Despite the fact that FG is an animated and therefore fictional show, we should all brace ourselves for the protests that are sure to follow this bombshell outing.
"We had an episode that went all the way to the script phase in which Stewie does come out,” MacFarlane, the show’s creator, says in the September issue of Playboy magazine. “It had to do ...

Brad Pitt certainly was dressed appropriately for the Time Traveler's Wife premiere in New York on Wednesday -- he looks like he just stepped off the porch of a plantation-era mansion. In typical Brad style, though, he looks remarkably sexy doing it. The thought of what that beard would do to my chin makes me cringe, but I'd still totally have a make-out sesh with him (I always try to look at it as free micro-derm).

Holy hell, I can't even cope this with. Kourtney Kardashian -- you know, the Kardashian sister that's not the really famous one or the tranny one -- is pregnant. She's due around Kristmas Christmas. She won't say who the dad is, although rumors are she's back together with her former flame, Scott Disick (she won't confirm that).
The only thing she'll say is that interested parties will have to watch her new show, Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami, which debuts Sunday on E!. (And, if you can...
"I worked very hard on that book. I tested and retested those recipes for eight years so that everybody could cook them. And many, many people have. I don't understand how she could have problems with them. She just must not be much of a cook."
Julia Child, as quoted in a new article in the LA Times, discussing Julie Powell and her blog, The Julie/Julia Project. The blog was turned into a book which has been turned into a movie, Julie & Julia, now in theaters. But Julia Child apparently didn'...
Just in case his political career weren't completely, totally and utterly obliterated already, The National Enquirer -- which has been freakishly accurate in its coverage of this story -- says a secret DNA test proves that John Edwards is in fact the father of his mistress's daughter, Frances Quinn Hunter.
Rielle Hunter is currently believed to be testifying in secret grand jury proceedings regarding whether Edwards used campaign finance money to keep her quiet after she got pregnant. Sh...
I'm feeling nostalgic so I figured that a 25-year-old picture of Michael and LaToya, taken back in the day when he was black and she had original cartilage, was appropriate. With the exception of singing backup on "Pretty Young Thing", LaToya's success has been largely overshadowed by Michael and Janet. As much as I hate to say it, MJ's death has been a huge career boost to some of the less-famous Jacksons.
Sure, we all know LaToya really came into her own as lead endorser for the Psychic F...
