Swift, Wentz, Cuomo, and Barker Appear in New Band Hero Ad

Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Music, Internet, News, Video

Continuing with its string of Risky Business-inspired commercials, Activision’s latest TV spot stars Taylor Swift, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo, and Blink-182’s Travis Barker. With a quartet like that, how could any marketing exec not feel accomplished at what she does?

Shot last week in Los Angeles by director Brett Ratner, the four musicians rock out to Taylor’s song, “Love Story” (seen after the jump). It’s cute how the guys are slightly dwarfed by Taylor’s model-esque height. The game is out in stores now.

I want to play Band Hero with Rivers Cuomo!

VIDEO: Fillion Confirms Dr. Horrible Sequel in Works

Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Comedy, Music, Gossip, Internet, News, Renewals, Rumors, Video

While we’ve been seeing a whirlwind of due success for the Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog crew, the more pressing news has been about the sequel. Now Nathan Fillion, who portrays the antagonist Captain Hammer in the series, assures fans that a title and a couple songs have indeed been established.

In the video, Fillion claims that the media has yet to be decided upon. While it would be cool to see Dr. Horrible on the big screen, let’s all be reminded of Serenity, which garnered a mediocre victory at the box office. I fear that if the sequel meets the same fate that a third installment will never see the light of day. I mean, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, eh?

FOX Brings Glee to National Anthem

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, Sports, FOX, Video

Some of the cast members from Glee helped open one of the World Series games recently, delivering an enjoyable version of the national anthem.

The song was brilliantly sung by Amber Riley, who plays Mercedes on the show and was once rejected by American Idol producers (seriously, somebody should get fired over that). On backup you’ll see Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale (with no wheelchair!), Dianna Agron, Mark Salling and Jenna Ushkowitz.

You’ll want to have the sound turned up before you watch this clip, or you’ll miss most of the Glee.

Who needs a Thanksgiving parade when they can have Halloween celebration?

On October 31, the FOX stars will hit the field during Game 3 of the World Series. The performance - which will take place in either LA or Philadelphia - will come at the start of the game when the cast members sing the National Anthem.

No Reality TV for Michael Jackson’s Children

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Rumors

Despite a report claiming Michael Jackson’s three children would soon become reality stars, the trio’s legal guardian says that simply isn’t so.

In the upcoming A&E series, The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty, the cameras will follow the surviving Jackson 5 members and will also include 19 other relatives with the same last name. Even though Janet and her mother are both expected to be involved, Katherine tells TMZ that the formerly masked Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket will not.
