Megyn Kelly’s Fascinating Demo Of Google Glass Goes Awry When She Searches German Word For ‘Hot Dog’
Ah, the marvels of modern technology. They make for incredibly compelling cable news segments in which well-liked hosts demonstrate the capabilities of the future. Today on America Live, Megyn Kelly and Fox tech writer Jeremy Kaplan gave a fascinating demo of the mysterious Google Glass device. Due to the relative mystery shrouding the tech giant's innovative device, it was a truly riveting little segment. But it went off-the-rails when Kelly put on the device to ask Google for the German word for "hot dog."...

Leonardo DiCaprio's fevered dreams have dominated the multiplex for three straight weeks. Now it looks like the "Inception" supremacy is coming to an end, with Leo's reveries soon to be overtaken by Will Ferrell's wackiness.
The curly haired comedian stars in "The Other Guys," an action-comedy that marks his fourth big screen collaboration with writer/director Adam McKay, following "Anchorman," "Talladega Nights" and "Step Brothers." Co-starring Mark Wahlberg as Ferrell's reluctant NYPD partner and fellow desk-jockey, "Other Guys" could easily outdo the $30 million "Step Brothers" took in back in 2008. Helping in that quest are the flick's strong critical reviews. Before you head to the cinema this weekend, check out what the critics have to say.

Bun B's latest album Trill O.G., which dropped this week, has become the latest recipient of the vaunted five mics from The Source, the first LP to grab the honor since Lil' Kim's 2005 release, The Naked Truth. Although a number of rap albums were eventually bumped up from an initial less-than-five or non-existent rating (either because they were re-considered or because their release dates preceded the magazine's founding), Bun's solo record is one of only 14 albums to get the Source's five mics immediately upon release, marking it superior from the get-go.
And although he's nearly 20 years into the game, Bun still considers himself a late prodigy, as he told our Mixtape Daily recently. Since the tragic death of his Ugk brother in 2007, Pimp C, Bun has turned his attention to his solo career. Now, with the release of Trill O.G., Bun can bask in the moment,...

Hartford, Connecticut — New England got its fix of Southern-tinged rock on Tuesday night, when the Kings Of Leon stopped at Connecticut's Comcast Theatre on their latest headlining tour.
On the eve of the announcement that Come Around Sundown, the follow-up to their breakout album Only by the Night, would be out on October 19, the Kings mixed big radio songs like "Sex on Fire" and earlier favorites like "Milk" with new tracks. The band started their set with a bass-heavy "Crawl" as they entered the stage through clouds of swelling red smoke. A fifth backing musician, who remained without introduction the whole night, lent extra fullness to the sound accompanying frontman Caleb Followill's croaky-on-purpose voice.

The temperature outside was 90 degrees (with 80 percent humidity) on Wednesday at the Pnc Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey, but the heat didn't stop more than 15,000 fans from coming out to support some of the biggest names in heavy metal music. And just the event name alone — the Rockstar Mayhem Festival — pretty much summed up the Jersey tour stop.
Opening act His Name Was Yesterday set the energy level at "high" early in the afternoon, before the festival launched into the more melodic side of the lineup, featuring the likes of 3 Inches of Blood and newcomers In This Moment, a band fronted by a female (not a common sight in metal), who jumped over to the soundboard and had...

Is there anything that has become more useless than a store-bought music compilation in the era of the Internet and iTunes? Every time I see a commercial for one of these compilation CDs, I seriously ask myself why lots of people actually buy them (and they do — the recently-released Now That's What I Call Music! 34 has sold nearly a quarter million copies). While it contains some top-shelf, high-profile tunes (Justin Bieber's "Baby," Ke$ha's "You're Love Is My Drug," Usher's "Omg"), they have all been in constant radio rotation for months. Are people really coveting those songs but waiting until now to acquire them? And why would anybody bother paying for a pre-curated, already-somewhat-dated collection when they can literally buy individual songs from iTunes and make their own playlists?
Back in the '90s, compilations were great ways to collect a handful of radio hits or...

When a band builds up a large enough fan base and a devoted following, it gives the members the ability to break off into solo careers and other musical projects. In some cases, the artist going solo will actually become more successful than he was in the context of the group, especially if the sound changes to adopt broader audience (consider Lionel Richie's break from the Commodores, Ozzy Osbourne's growth after Black Sabbath and the careers of both Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins away from Genesis). But how much different are these new projects compared to the old work? And are solo artists better off changing their game completely?
In 2010, we have seen a handful of solo albums from members of a number of prominent and successful bands. In March, legendary guitarist Slash released a self-titled solo album, the first of his career. His name...

In the modern music landscape, it's extremely difficult to make an impact with a whole album. With the rise of digital downloads and customizable playlists on iPods, an artist's music is far more likely to be absorbed via a series of singles or on a compilation than as an entire album. In hip-hop, it's even more difficult, as the emphasis is so often put on the killer single or the tracks grouped together on a mixtape. Creating a truly classic hip-hop album is hard, and crafting a sequel to an album like that should be impossible. However, there are a handful of artists — namely Dr. Dre, Raekwon and Capone-n-Noreaga — who have managed to pull off such an incredible feat.
Dr. Dre's 1992 solo debut The Chronic introduced the world to G-Funk. Seven years later, Dre expanded on the same sound with 2001 (also known as The Chronic 2001), a...

There are few artists that come around the music industry whose voices can speak to an entire generation of fans for their entire careers. As far as I'm concerned, one of those musicians is Eminem, whose music has spoken to hundreds of millions of fans while battling a hefty group of oppressors throughout his career.
Most people my age (I'm 20 at the moment) could relate to Eminem's lyrics while growing up. His second album, The Marshall Mathers LP, was the CD that everyone I knew bought as soon as it came out (coincidentally making it the fastest selling solo album of all time). Despite the fact that it was so explicit that even the uncensored version had some words deleted, I saw in between the cursing and the violence because the music still applied to me directly.
While I deeply felt these lyrics at the time, the...
