Amanda Palmer is a rebel with a cause; she fights fiercely for her artistic freedom.

When the musician and singer, who is currently on hiatus from the "Brechtian punk cabaret" band The Dresden Dolls, made a video to promote one of the songs from her debut solo album, Who Killed Amada Palmer, it seems her belly didn't conform to the ideal expressed by...

It's hard being Tommy Lee. He's alone in a Las Vegas hot tub (albeit a very nice one), he doesn't have a stripper pole installed in his tour bus -- yet -- and he has a habit of finding trouble even when he's not looking for it (the latter being part of his well-documented charm). To make matters worse,...

A former Seattle police chief shows support for Phelps in his Huffington Post blog. In his open missive, Norm Stamper questions Kelloggs' decision to drop the athlete and our nation's continued pursuit of the failed War On Drugs:

At the press junket for The International, he had to put on a stoic face and...

As expected, Live Nation and Ticketmaster have confirmed their plan to merge, creating a new full service concert monster called Live Nation Entertainment.

This is clearly a marriage made in hell and something that needs to fail at the first antitrust hurdle.

A merger between the biggest U.S. ticketing company and the world's leading concert promoter would not be in the interest of bands or...

Shepard Fairy helps get our new president elected, is the recipient of a personal letter of thanks from Obama, and on the eve of his first solo show at the Institute of Contemporary Art THIS is how the Boston authorities treat him.

Eliza Dushku is one of the most difficult interviews in Hollywood. She is completely open, forthcoming and friendly but something about her wide brown eyes and seemingly glowing cheeks mesmerizes in a way that sometimes makes follow-up questions difficult. Even when she's fighting a cold, her...
