My Chemical Romance Suicide Controversy

Since the suicide of 13-year old fan, Hannah Bond, American rock band My Chemical Romance has come under fire for its music being the cause of her death. UK's The Daily Mail even called MCR a "suicide cult," and insinuated that the quintet's emo music was sinister, even dangerous. On MyChemicalRomance.com, the group expressed their condolences and explained that they see themselves as an "anti-suicide" band, whose aim is to comfort, support and provide solace to their fans. Last weekend, outraged fans of MCR also staged a protest outside the publication's office.

Now Posh Spice can also add wine-making to her list, courtesy of birthday vineyard from David Beckham. She's not schooled in the art of wine-making, you say? No sweat. The thoughtful Becks has even included a staff to look after the grapes and plot of land. A pity us mere mortals wouldn't be able to sample the Beckham wine, as it's only reserved for friends and family.

N.E.R.D(s) Rule!

One week from now, N.E.R.D is set to drop their highly anticipated new album, Seeing Sounds.

"It's a mixture of senses that may cause a person to experience colorful hearing, auditory smell. For example, you might see something, and it might trigger a song. You might hear something, and it might trigger a taste in your mouth. So when we created this album, it was the music we envisioned while creating it. We decided it would be the appropriate title for the album."

We can't wait!
