• Madonna's 'Rebel Heart' Hacker Gets 14 Months for Violating Cloud Server

    Madonna came after her leaker harder than most and now Adi Lederman, the hacker responsible for dropping a significant portion of her Rebel Heart album during late 2014 is now facing a 14-month prison sentence. It took less than a month to track him down, thanks to a joint operation by the FBI and the Israeli Police forces (that's the help you get when you've had eight no. 1 albums).

  • Kelly Rowland Joins 'Empire' Season 2 Cast as Terrance Howard's Mother

  • ABC Needs Raven-Symone to Help Save 'The View'

    It's just about that time of year for networks to march out their brightest and most profitable stars in the hopes of grabbing some fantastic advertising for next season. At these upfronts, cast members gather to help promote the fall television season and it's often when we first catch a glimpse of some of the stars that will hopefully be on the rise in the coming months. ABC knows that its' daily chatfest, The View is sinking like the Titanic and that means they are desperate to bring someone in that will not only steady the ratings, but also bring a new audience in as well. Raven-Symone recently completed a few weeks sitting in as a guest-host and apparently the network has decided that they really need to get her to sign on the doted line for next season.

  • The Brutality of The Bard: 2Pac, Dethklok and More Celebrate 'Talk Like Shakespeare Day'

    Happy "Talk Like Shakespeare Day" to all of our favorite readers and theatre geeks. We at Music Times tend to write more about Broadway musicals, or the occasional opera based on one of William Shakespeare's works, versus the stage plays themselves (you know...we write about music). There's no denying that the legendary playwright has had an impact on music with his words...in the most brutal way possible. For all of his poetry, the Bard turned out enough gritty one-liners that would have made Robocop a Best Picture nominee without removing any of the bloodshed. Take heed as 2Pac, Iced Earth and more demonstrate how "talk like Shakespeare" means "talk like a badass."

  • Wiz Khalifa's 'See You Again' and More: 5 No. 1 Soundtracks and The Singles That Powered Them

    This week's Billboard 200 featured the soundtrack to Furious 7 reaching no. 1 after four weeks on the charts. What's propelled the album to higher and higher sales every week? For one thing, the release of the film. More importantly however is the new metrics behind the Billboard 200, which now counts song streams and downloads toward "equivalent album sales." When an album has one song that really hits home with the population, that in turn helps the album that features it to move higher on the Billboard 200 charts. For Furious 7, that song is "See You Again," a track by Wiz Khalifa paying homage to deceased actor Paul Walker.
