It is a rare thing when two things you love from two different worlds come together, it does not happen often and can lead to great anticipation. Anticipation was what I felt when I first heard that Elvis Costello was going to be working on an album with Philadelphia’s The Roots crew. Anticipation for what could be an amazing album from two acts who have the capability to produce incredible music but there is also the chance that this album could lead to something best forgotten.
Although as surprised as I was when I first heard of this collaboration it immediately made sense; Elvis certainly has a soulful sound within him and we know The Roots are no strangers to Rock and Roll (remember the Seed 2.0 from 2002 for example). The album is released on September the 17th on the legendary Jazz label Blue Note. The...

Friends! Let me just tell you, I was extremely proud of America today. America made all the right decisions. America picked the pilgrim value of virtue over the more superficial charms of the glittering stage. Even when Benedict Arnold/Carson Daly wore a tie-dye tie, America did not waver. I could recite the Pledge of Allegiance right now. The show started off beautifully with a Telescope voting scandal. I could not understand what happened in the scandal, but I loved Telescope. He was wearing the most beautiful gray suit and reminded me of Joe Kennedy. Welcome, Telescope! I hope this voting scandal unfurls and you become a regular part of these proceedings.Team Blake and Shakira: “Hall of Fame”The best part of this performance is that I am convinced Hi Hat choreographed it! Hi Hat left her calling card, which is people in a group putting their arms around...

It's night two of the live playoffs on Season 4 of "The Voice," with reigning champ Blake Shelton and newbie coach Shakira's teams taking the stage to prove they deserve the shot to make it to the Top 12. With Adam Levine and Usher's teams taking the night off after a rousing night one, which of tonight's singers will rise to the occasion and which will crumble under the pressure?
Shakira is so cute with her nerves: "All my fingernails are going to be gone tonight."
Blake taking his team out to karaoke to get them ready for their first live performance is hysterical. It's quite in line with Blake's whole goofball persona. All those country kiddos singing "We Are Family" was cute.
This group performance of Little Big Town's "Boondocks" is proof that Team Blake will be playing to their base this season. I'd be shocked if...

After weeks of so-so performances and understated acts, Rihanna brought the heat to the "Saturday Night Live" stage with an elaborate set.
The singer served as the musical guest alongside host Eli Manning, where she performed two tracks off her album, Talk That Talk -- "Birthday Cake" and "Where Have You Been" -- but not without some controversy.
According to TMZ, Rihanna missed her "SNL" dress rehearsal performance because of an illness, which angered many "Saturday Night Live" producers, including Lorne Michaels. "Rihanna was sick and needed to save her voice for the live show," a source told TMZ.
The pop megastar showed no ill effects during her "SNL" performance, which included some of the dance sequences she highlighted in a recently released video for "Where Have You Been." In a behind-the-scenes clip, Rihanna revealed that famed choreographer Hi-Hat ("Step Up 3") was helping her create a routine.

Rihanna has never been known as a dancer, but she's ready to step her game up for her upcoming "Where Have You Been" video. In an almost three-minute-long behind-the-scenes montage clip that surfaced on Thursday, the megastar takes her Navy to the dance studio, where she's seen practicing a routine for the upcoming clip alongside a crew of dancers.
Rocking some appropriate rehearsal attire and simple sneaks, Ri turns to the camera at one point to admit that a dance routine was necessary for the hard dance track's video, saying, "I was never going to shoot this video if I couldn't do choreography, 'cause it would be pretty pointless. It would be disappointing."

Photo: Touchstone PIctures Step Up 2 the Streets was a dramatic improvement over the dull and lifeless 2006 original. Yet it still feels weird to fully realize how silly this whole franchise is and to still expect Step Up 3D to be better than it actually is. It's not as if Step Up 2 was changing the dramatic face of movies, but it was certainly fun. It had some good music and great dance sequences. Most of all, it had a story (albeit a thin one) that stayed together and didn't bounce around from character to character without any idea where to stop. The same can't be said for the follow-up.
Step Up 3D is a mess of a movie. It's one giant montage with a made up story simply to get you from set piece to set piece. Yet, I had a good time watching it,...

"So You Think You Can Dance" will welcome a few new faces to its judging panel this season and this week, you'll meet one of them during the L.A. auditions on Wednesday's (June 2) show.
Nadine "Hi-Hat" Ruffin is a well-respected hip-hop choreographer who has collaborated with recording artists like Lil Wayne and Mary J. Blige, and whose work has appeared in countless feature films such as "Step Up 2: The Streets" and "Step Up 3-D." Several television shows have also benefited from her skills, including "Sytycd," which has welcomed Hi-Hat as a choreographer a couple times.
