Last year, Kelly Clarkson began hosting her own NBC daytime talk show called The Kelly Clarkson Show. Last week, she had Vin Diesel on to play his new tropical house single while her virtual audience danced along awkwardly. Sometimes she performs on her show. And last night, she busted out a cover of Tegan And…
The members of System Of A Down have not always seen eye to eye where politics are concerned, but they've come together today to issue a statement regarding an international crisis centered on their fellow ethnic Armenians.

It might seem strange that Elton John, the legendary piano-pop master who recently condemned the modern practice of songwriting by committee, appears on the new song by Gorillaz, an operation that cycles through a stunning number of collaborators.
