Maybe the Flaming Lips decided to record a crazy, bass-heavy, guitar-free video for the Beatles psychedelic masterpiece ‘I Am the Walrus’ as a way to prepare for their upcoming New Year’s Eve concerts with Yoko Ono’s Plastic Ono Band in their hometown of Oklahoma City. More likely, they’re weirding out in the clip because, well, that’s what they do best.

Jeff Giles — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 20:00:22 +0000

Guns N’ Roses are on tour — and while that means fans can expect some typically unusual news from the road, it also means hours of blistering hard rock music for concertgoers who turn out to see Axl Rose and company.

In fact, fans who have been in the audience for recent dates report that shows have been going for more than three hours — and as this lengthy recent setlist can attest, Axl and his crew have been delivering a mix of newer tracks, old favorites, and covers of two classic AC/DC tracks – ‘Riff Raff’ and ‘Whole Lotta Rosie.’

Watch! Beyoncé Covers Queen's Classic 'Bohemian Rhapsody' [VIDEO]

Jeff Giles — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 13:37:03 +0000

After more than a decade as a fixture on top of the charts, Beyoncé certainly has more than enough of her own hits to fill a concert set list, and she doesn’t need to go covering anyone else’s — but who are we to argue if she decides to put her own inimitable spin on a rock ‘n’ roll classic or two?

Currently on tour to promote her latest solo album, ’4,’ Beyoncé used her June 20 stop in Nice, France, to break out a cover medley that included Kings of Leon’s ‘Sex on Fire,’ Prince’s ‘The Beautiful Ones,’ and — perhaps most surprisingly — Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’ Though she flubbed a couple of lines, it was still an interesting experiment (and it’s always nice to see pop singers proving they’re actually performing live).

Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon posed nude for the latest cover of OK! Magazine, in which the Grammy-winning singer shows off her very pregnant belly.

Still, the photo spread is careful not to reveal too much; in two separate cases, Cannon's hands and Carey's hair are strategically placed so that we don't see their, you know, other parts.

The question remains: Is this spread romantic - or tacky?
