Ne-Yo is part of a new generation of R&B stars who came up through the songwriting ranks, scoring hit after hit for other artists before recording their own material. Songwriters-turned-singers like John Legend, Robin Thicke, and Ne-Yo are so slick, appealing, and photogenic that it's hard to imagine why they weren't pushed into the spotlight in the first place. Alas, Ne-Yo can be a little too slick, as the title of his third album, Year Of The Gentleman, attests. Too much of the disc falls lazily into the template that made Ne-Yo a star: yearning vocals, romantic lyrics, sleepy tempos, tasteful acoustic guitar plucking or piano tinkling, and an aversion to anything too rocking or quirky. Still, Ne-Yo manages a few inspired variations on this formula: His ethereal falsetto channels Michael Jackson as he sings of romantic...

As Fantastic Fest gains in prominence as a must-attend spot on the festival calendar, the special events organized by Tim League and friends are becoming as notorious as the wide-ranging selection of international genre and exploitation films on the official lineup. From shooting lessons to field trips to far-flung barbeque joints, to multiple karaoke parties and totally unofficial after-after parties in the hotel suites of celebrity attendees, the only criticism of the festival that keeps coming up is that there's actually too much fun to be had, too much to do. But this is not necessarily a Fantastic Fest-specific problem; with the Alamo Drafthouse chain itself, League has created a year-round home for Too Much Fun for not just cinema nerds, but anyone who likes to wash their pop culture down with copious amounts of beer. This became e ...

Ne-Yo reportedly decides to postpone the recording session with The Pussycat Dolls to focus on a music project with Marilyn Manson. "We're about to go into the studio together. I've wanted to work with him for ages and his people reached out to me when they heard," he says about his plan.

Speaking of the concept that he tries to bring out with Marilyn, the "Miss Independent" singer admits that he actually has no clue about the direction of their music. "I have no idea what the music will sound like or what direction we'll take, but it will be really cool," he explains. "We're obviously two separate sides of the musical extreme but that's what makes it exciting. People might think it's a strange collaboration, I don't."

In a further explanation, he assures his fans that though he doesn't map out the music that he and Marilyn will work on together,

For some, Kim Kardashian may have done it all.  She’s a magazine cover girl, model, reality TV celebrity, aspiring actress, socialite and entrepreneur who manages to keep the spotlight on herself, whether its by going out to the hippest bars or just throwing a tantrum at her sisters Khloe and Kourtney in front of the camera.  Recently, Kim launched her first ever big screen gig, Disaster Movie, which sadly did not reap in the box office numbers.  In fact, the movie received some poor reviews, and some are hoping Kim would just stay in her niche.  Nonetheless, she will be appearing in the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars, in which she is paired with pro dancer Mark Ballas.

More recently, Kim announced that she wants to take on another career path, and this time, it’s the music industry that she wants to conquer.  She told Hyla on the Yo on E!

"If my dad has anything to say about it, I'm sure he will be a Cubs fan." the Windy City native told People Sunday at the Nike + Human Race at Soldier Field in Chicago.

After a decade at the final frontier, Star Trek: The Experience is going where no Las Vegas Strip attraction wants to go.  The exhibit and its replica of the Enterprise closed its doors for good on Monday, says an Associated Press report on CNN. More than 3 million people have come through since the Experience opened in 1998, and the last few are “beaming up” from across the United States and around the world one last time, according to exhibit spokesman Chad Boutte. Some seek a final encounter with the Borg, the television show’s race of organic robot aliens who tell everyone “resistance is futile.” Others just want to share a farewell glass of Tronya with fellow fans at the attraction’s restaurant. The attraction’s owner, Cedar Fair Entertainment Co., and the Las Vegas Hilton, its landlord, couldn’t agree on a new lease. They worked as a typical landlord and retail tenant,
