Check Out Our New Cover, America’s Almost “Idol” Tops Charts and More

South Park cover

  • South Park are on our new cover, on stands everywhere on Friday! Go here to peruse our picks for the top 25 moments from the show, and be sure to come back tomorrow to read excerpts from the feature story, including the semi-scandalous photo that’s gonna rock Tom Cruise’s world.
  • Former American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry continues to triumph with his debut solo album Daughtry. The album reached the Number One spot on the charts this week, selling 89,901 copies. Norah Jones is still up there (at Number Two) but we won’t talk about that. Akon is now up at number three with his album Konvicted — it sold 73,457 copies this week. Meanwhile, the Silversun Pickups album, Carnavas, sold 9,937 copies this week, jumping from 118 to 80 on the charts, and increasing sales by 38 percent, which is, you know, a lot. They sound exactly like the Smashing Pumpkins, but it’s a good way to sound.
  • Joel Madden is apparently accosting photographers. According to TMZ the rocker shoved a photog who got too close while Madden and his girlfriend Nicole Richie were trying to leave Mr. Chow.
  • Awww, Nikki Sixx has apparently spoken out with words of support for poor post-partum-suffering, substance-addicted, custody-battling Britney. Sixx expressed confidence in the pop star’s ability to get better, saying, “We all rise out of the ashes. Either that or we die right?” Well put.
  • Matt Wachter, who plays bass in 30 Seconds to Mars, apparently announced his departure from the band. The bassist wants to spend more time with his family, (which is French for “I can’t look at Jared in eyeliner anymore.”)

Cartman | 3/7/2007, 2:54 pm EST

Why does RS put a tv show on the cover that makes fun of the magazines far left rhetoric?

VOTE ANTONELLA BARBA TONIGHT! | 3/7/2007, 2:55 pm EST

Whoever is picking the covers is trying to destroy RS!

RS has been a joke for a long time. They can’t get much worse…..or can they?

Jeff | 3/7/2007, 3:02 pm EST

Again, KUDOS for finally giving South Park the cover again!

I’m super cereal!

Way to go Silversun Pickups! At least there is something decent in the charts these days. I think it had a lot to do with their opening slot on the current Snow Patrol tour. Saw them this past Friday and Saturday night and they were great live.

give me a break | 3/7/2007, 3:14 pm EST

Seriously, Rolling Stone, what the heck? South Park is garbage. Put on real contributers to our lives like some up and coming band. South Park? Please.

damn dude | 3/7/2007, 4:00 pm EST

Cristhian:
i’m glad someone else hates the white background as much as i do

Wayne | 3/7/2007, 4:18 pm EST

Good call on the cover this time out. South Park is a masterpiece. Looking forward to the article.

ishy with it | 3/7/2007, 4:18 pm EST

I guess Silversun Pickups sound like Smashing Pumpkins except for, you know, everything…

Rudy | 3/7/2007, 5:28 pm EST

South Park>>>>>>Fall out boy>>>>Panic! at the disco

Rudy | 3/7/2007, 5:29 pm EST

Finally a cover about something that doesn’t suck.

Art | 3/7/2007, 5:56 pm EST

Wow! Is RS getting bored? Seriously, you have had some really boring artists on the cover as of late, how about growing a pair of balls and putting somebody who matters on the cover? How about Britney Spears or PerezHilton? C’mon have some balls, don’t be pussies like the other magazines!

Matt | 3/7/2007, 6:29 pm EST

Yes. Finally a good cover. South Park is definitely one of the best shows on TV. It never disappoints.

sweetnessfollows | 3/7/2007, 6:57 pm EST

seriously silversun pickups do not sound like the smashing pumpkins. both are pretty cool bands though

jen | 3/7/2007, 8:01 pm EST

you could have put nin on the cover. south parks good though. finally some talent on the cover.

Pilot | 3/7/2007, 8:49 pm EST

Whoa there, RS.

The Silversun Pickups sound NOTHING like the Pumpkins. Billy Corgan can sing; Dingbat McToolbag of the Pickups can’t. First time I heard “Lazy Eye,” I thought it was John Mayer singing like a girl (moreso than usual).

Dr. Ralph | 3/7/2007, 9:26 pm EST

You tell ‘em Nikki! As long as you were on junk and came out alive Brit-Brit is just a poser. I bet she can’t hang with the big dogs like me and you!

Kevin | 3/7/2007, 9:55 pm EST

No kidding, RS. WTF’s up with the white background? It’s been like some kind of lazy-ass staple, where you can’t even put up a dark background to hide the horror of Fall Out Boy and Panic!. Get creative, and start putting really kick-ass people on the cover. PLEASE!!!

faith | 3/7/2007, 11:06 pm EST

this ole hippie loves South Park; been a RS fan for thirty years…

MarkArrow | 3/8/2007, 9:58 am EST

After reading some of the comments below I realized that America has never really been a funny country. We think we are, but were not. Bob Hope was the best comedian of the 20th century? My goodness. (Don’t forget Bob was on the cover of RS!)

Now, Joseph Stalin, that guy had a sense of humor! This is a world leader who, without a doubt, would have embraced starved/thin white chicks and def speed metal on every cover!

Dr. Ralph | 3/11/2007, 10:57 am EST

I like the half-naked thin white girls idea…MarkArrow you’re the one without a sense of humor.
