Kanye West performed a new song "All Day" during the Brit Awards last week, and today the studio version finally arrived. Some essential* thoughts: 1. Does the voice box melody at the beginning not remind you of everybody's favorite jock jam, Zombie Nation's "Kernkraft 400?" 2. Paul McCartney's contribution -- so far as it can be tracked and confirmed -- is the beach-day whistling over the guitar riff your dormmate from college freshman year played over and over again And I Get It Kyle You Learned C7 Chord Good For You I Have Midterms In The Morning 3. Theophilus London, Paul McCartney and Allan Kingdom got official contributor credits in the song release to iTunes, but check out the full, all-you-can-eat credits bar for the purchased version: Kanye West, Paul McCartney, Tyler Bryant, Kendrick Lamar, Karim Kharbouch, Cydel Young, Victor Mensah, Mike Dean, Che Pope, Noah Goldstein, Allen Ritter, Mario Winans, Charles Njapa,...

Matthew Cooke's "How to Make Money Selling Drugs" is a cheeky take on America's decades-long war on illegal narcotics. Mixing caustic satire with dead-serious elements, Cooke uses his animation background to add visual elements that tie the disparate parts together.
Cooke managed to get a wide variety of participants to discuss the premise, from David Simon, creator of "The Wire" and "The Corner," near definitive takes on this virtual conflict, to rappers 50 Cent and Eminem, who provide their own unique experiences within the culture that help perpetuate certain myths about drug culture.
Moviefone spoke exclusively to Matthew on the phone while he was in Paris, France.
Moviefone: First of all, how do you make money selling drugs?
Matthew Cooke: Very easily! The United States has the highest demand for illegal narcotics in the world, the demand is already there. You don't need to convince people to buy the stuff,...

In light of Google's new degree calculator, we consulted a computer scientist to find the incendiary truth behind the claim that every actor connects back to Bacon in six steps or fewer
Six degrees of Elizabeth Olsen? Or how about six degrees of Sean Connery? Depending on the way you play the game, these actors make a more logical choice for the popular game which claims that it is always possible to connect Kevin Bacon to another Hollywood actor in six or fewer associations.
To aid the search for those connections, Google incorporated an Easter Egg search function on Thursday that makes it possible for people to search "Bacon Number" followed by an actor's name and see how many steps it takes to link them to the Apollo 13 star.
With the introduction of this new function, it quickly became clear that the Bacon Number is not the hallowed symbol...

As radio's revenue shrinks, daily deals and other online services become a new important income stream.
You've heard something about the death of print? Or about the struggles of traditional television in an Internet age? Well, it's been no easier on the third great old-school medium: radio. In recent years, the aggregate revenue for radio has declined from 21 billion to around 15, according to one estimate. But a company called Triton Digital Media, which helps local radio stations get savvy to the web, thinks it has found a way forward, and earlier this week it announced a partnership with a company called Deal Current to offer something like the "Groupon of Radio."
When Groupon wants to enter a new market, it has to establish relationships with retailers, and it must find its way into the inboxes of people who live in the region in question. Triton Digital's insight is that local...

Kicking off a new work week, Taylor Momsen was spotted on the New York City set of “Gossip Girl” earlier today (February 1).
The singer/actress sported a rare smile as she milled around the lot in between takes, keeping warm with a winter coat and scarf.
In related news, Taylor was recently criticized for her unhealthy smoking habit, especially since she’s only 16 years old.
Patrick Reynolds, director of the Foundation for a Smoke-Free America, told press, “She really has an extra responsibility to bear as an actress idolized by little girls out there. For her to be smoking sends the wrong message to kids. Evidence shows that stars do influence kids to smoke.”...

Gossip Girl actress Taylor Momsen has come under fire from anti-smoking campaigners - after the 16 year old was snapped puffing on a cigarette while walking through New York.
The young star took time out during filming of the hit teen TV show this week (begs25Jan10) for a cigarette break, but the star's unhealthy habit has sent smoke signals to health advocates.
Patrick Reynolds, the director of the Foundation for a Smoke-Free America, insists Momsen's actions could encourage her impressionable fans to light up.
He tells UsMagazine.com, "She really has an extra responsibility to bear as an actress idolised by little girls out there. For her to be smoking sends the wrong message to kids. Evidence shows that stars do influence kids to smoke."
However, Momsen might not be too worried about the effect her smoking has on her devotees - the actress recently admitted she has no interest in being a role model for other people's children.
She said, "To be honest, I don't f**king care. I didn't get into this to be a role model. So I'm sorry if I'm influencing your kids in a way that you don't like, but I can't be responsible for their actions. I don't care."...
