• Michael Jackson Did Not Write 'The Simpsons' "Do The Bartman"(?)

    A piece of pop culture kinda-history has died as authoritative proof has come out revealing that no, Michael Jackson really did not write The Simpsons' classic "Do The Bartman." Original songwriter Bryan Loren (whose name has been on the track the whole time) sold off his publishing rights to the song, as well as a number of his other compositions. Considering the lawsuits the Jackson family has been bringing against AEG, you can bet they'd stick their legs out if there was a chance Jacko's estate should be getting royalties for "Bartman."

  • 7 Most Influential '90s Soundtracks: 'Clueless,' 'Pulp Fiction' and More

    Clueless fans everywhere are celebrating the 20th birthday of the iconic '90s film, and those with a bent for music are listening to its acclaimed compilation, including the Beastie Boys, Radiohead, Coolio and more (or maybe they're re-watching Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" tribute). It's a solid collection to be sure but there are other films that had an even bigger impact musically. Here are six soundtracks from the decade that left a footprint in both the music AND film industries, ranked by influence.

  • Mariah Carey, Madonna and TLC: The Longest Hot 100 Streaks of 1995

    TLC celebrated the beginning of its longest streak on the Hot 100 on this date 20 years ago, as "Waterfalls" topped the singles charts for seven weeks afterward. Now, the Hot 100 is different than the Billboard 200 in that it's rare for any one album to top the chart for more than a few weeks, while songs can rack up huge runs on their chart. For example, only two albums have been at no. 1 for more than one week during 2015 (Taylor Swift's 1989 and Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly), while Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk" has ruled the Hot 100 for 14 weeks thus far (the other 14 weeks have been split between Swift and Wiz Khalifa). Five songs managed to stay at no. 1 for seven weeks or more during 1995...so at least 35 of the year's 52 weeks were owned by just five songs. Check out the playlist of '95's most popular tracks.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown's Cousin Insists Her Near-Drowning Was Intentional Act

    Just when things seemed to be calming down between both sides of Bobbi Kristina Brown's family someone had to go and stir the proverbial pot all over again. Just last week, we learned that Pat Houston has now been named a co-guardian of Brown along side of her father, Bobby Brown. This move seems to make a lot of sense, especially when you take into account how Bobby's decisions seem to be very rooted in the hope that a miracle will save his daughter rather than in the reality of her condition. Not long after a sense of balance was put into place, Jerod Brown, Bobbi Kristina's cousin, started making allegations against Houston.

Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks and the Backstreet Boys number among them.

  • Nick Gordon in Rehab After Admitting Drug Use and Threatening Suicide

    Nick Gordon chose to remain silent for the first few weeks after Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unresponsive in her bath tub but eventually he returned to Twitter.

On the eve of Bobbi Kristina's 22nd birthday Gordon threatened to kill himself and apparently that was a turning point for his family. His mother and Dr. Phil staged an intervention this week that will be broadcast on March 11.
