- Now that Prince is a reformed provocateur, he’s been deemed prude enough for a family audience. The Purple One has reportedly been booked as the half time entertainment act at the Super Bowl, to be held in Miami on February 4th.
- Mariah Carey is reportedly concerned that fans will soon be even more likely to confuse her with a porn star. Mary Carey – an established porn star – is attempting to copyright her name and Carey (the pouty, tight-skirt wearing one NOT in the porn business) is objecting, claiming fans will not be able to tell them apart. Isn’t this a lose lose argument?
- Stephen Colbert has accepted the Decemberists challenge to settle their differences like fifteen-year-old boys, via a guitar solo duel. He claims the band have sealed their fate, as Colbert was once in new wave group Stephen and the Colberts. Watch Colbert announce a date for the duel (December 20th) here.
- Want to wear an alien outfit onstage with the Flaming Lips on New Year’s Eve in Los Angeles? All you have to do is humiliate yourself via international video-sharing phenomenon YouTube. Upload a clip of yourself rocking out to your favorite Lips tune, and upload it to the band’s dance contest spot. If yours is the best, you win.
- Fall Out Boy tell Billboard the rest of their new record will be as weird and unlike-them-sounding as the first single, “This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arms Race.” There’s a lot of different voices and perspectives and styles,” guitarist Patrick Stump justified. “It would be dishonest for us to hold back any of these elements.” Their mothers raised them well.
