atlanta indie group the black lips go the extra mile for their live performances. random acts of nudity are a common occurence (more on that later), and sometimes the guys even makeout with each other during guitar solos. totally hot, i know.

the most notorious exhibitionist of the group is guitarist and vocalist cole alexander, who performed an entire show at atlanta’s criminal records in his tighty-whiteys and cowboy boots. i’m not sure if that particular show involved any man-on-man action…

this is all fine and good, you say, but is the band actually any good? well, they’re not my cup of tea, to tell you the truth. but i’ll definitely be in attendance next time they pass through nashvegas. how could i not? if you also like what you see, check out a few more pics, including the obligatory cock shot, after the jump.

in case you haven’t heard (yeah right), paris hilton was sentenced to jail time for driving on a suspended license. 45 days to be exact.

here’s one of the fantastic court sketches from the trial via tmz. paris looks like she’s trying to use telekinesis to change the judges mind. and check out her parents in the background looking glum. jesus, it’s not like she’s getting the death penalty (they can’t do that for minor crimes, can they??).

anyway, tmz brought up a good point concerning paris actually serving the time. diana ross was only in jail for like a day or two, and they said michelle rodriguez only served 2 hours! paris will probably be done in 10 minutes, which is very sad if you ask me.

to help us forget about our nation’s troubled justice system, let’s watch that clip of diana ross and tina fey from snl (after the jump)! that’ll brighten up my day. (more…)

it’s finally friday, and this week’s flashback isn’t that far in the past. just three summers ago, latina lovelies nina sky — twins natalie and nicole albino — climbed the charts with the reggae-dance smash “move ya body.” that shit was my jam back in ‘04!

after the success of this single, their album failed to produce another hit (though they did appear on that “oye mi canto” song by n.o.r.e.). since then, the girls have been working on their sophomore release with producers like scott storch and cool & dre. the first single, “clothes off,” is slated for a july release. we’ll see if the girls can regain their former (modest) glory.

if you don’t know andy dick, he’s the foul-mouthed, probably-gay comedian who first gained widespread fame on newsradio ten years ago.

the national enquirer claims he was fucked up out of his mind when this action photo of him was taken in nyc two weeks ago. from the looks of things, andy tried to snort some and he got in all over his nostril instead of up it. if you ask me, the fact that they caught him in the act is pretty funny, but this isn’t exactly an earth-shattering revelation. anyone who is vaguely familiar with him could have guessed that he likes the nose candy.

if they could have caught him doing a line off some guy’s erect dick, now that would have been more of a “celebrity” oops moment. obviously these paparazzi aren’t working hard enough, because you know andy does that kind of shit!

the lovely and talented cardigans frontwoman appears on the new manic street preachers single, “your love alone is not enough.” after the manics’ last album, the relatively low-key lifeblood, the track marks a return to the band’s trademark form of up-tempo melancholy. not surprisingly, it’s their catchiest single in a while, even if the lyrics aren’t so upbeat.

the politically-minded band’s new album, send away the tigers, will be released in the u.k. and europe may 7. check out the video after the jump.

we all know myspace is not really as cool as it once was. i mean, as soon as your parents joined, you knew it was pretty much past it. but wait! now that hip old coot dennis kucinich is joining the party, along with several other “with it” politicians, the ubiquitous social networking web site is totally going to be revitalized. take that, facebook!

so obviously i’m kidding, but i do think it’s interesting that politicians are trying to infiltrate the site to find younger supporters. i don’t know if it will work, but i do think it’s hysterical to see faces like his in that ridiculous “cool new people” box.

they would have to part ways sooner or later. american idol finalists and self-proclaimed “best friends” blake lewis, left, and chris richardson couldn’t both win the singing competition.

“why did you do this america?” blake joked as they stood center stage, waiting to find out the results. in a touching (if slightly untruthful) moment, chris even claimed he would go home for blake. in the end, of course, that wasn’t necessary. chris was sent home.

chris hugged all the remaining finalists as he sang his final notes on the show, but the most lingering embrace was reserved for blake. it was very emotional, i know. but fret not, my little fairies! the two will reunite on stage when the top ten finalists tour the country this summer.

kelly clarkson plays the pissed-off ex-girlfriend role once again in the clip for new single “never again.” she’s definitely got the angry snarl down pat, but otherwise i’m confused. it’s not completely clear whether she drowned or not, but kelly spends most of the video haunting her ex-boyfriend at the airport. then she drives off at the end with him chasing her beat-up ride. huh? is she playing multiple roles like some kooky david lynch movie? i don’t get it.

regardless, get ready to hear this song ad nauseam. it doesn’t measure up to “since u been gone,” but that’s to be expected. it’ll be pretty hard to top that one.

here’s bruce willis being interviewed courtside at a nets game with some random kid. they are obviously tipsy, so of course this short clip is full of fun.

i’m not sure what part i like best: when bruce disses cybil shepard, when he curses in character, or when the reporter introduces him as bruce “wilson.” no joke!!

i’ve always had a soft spot for travis. i’ve seen the scottish band perform several times — i was present for their infamous glastonbury appearance in 1999 — and i even sang a karaoke version of their most famous track, “why does it always rain on me,” in the glasgow watering hole they frequented back in the day.

i guess you could say travis and me, we’re growing old together. so it pains me to say this, but they’re aging a bit too quickly for me! their sleepy new single, “closer,” is lovely (stream it at myspace), but i can’t help but feel like they’ve done it before. when a band is away for 4 years, they need to come back with a bang, and this really isn’t it.

to the band’s credit, the video clip is irresistible (randomly, ben stiller turns up for a brief cameo!). frontman fran healy is still absolutely adorable and therefore i feel like shit for not immediately falling in love with the song. maybe i was expecting more, i’m not sure, but i know travis have something more lively left in them. i guess they just need to be shaken out of that afternoon nap.
