If Ryan Murphy needs any inspiration for Feud's third season, he might want to consider the drama unfolding between Aretha Franklin and Dionne Warwick. The "Respect" singer, who recently announced plans for retirement, accused fellow soul diva Dionne Warwick of making "libelous" statements about her on Wednesday, according to the Associated Press. Aretha notably covered Dionne's hits "Walk on By" and "I Say a Little Prayer" in the late '60s, but apparently the bad blood between them has been simmering for years. "At this point, it isn't about an apology, it's about libel," she said. "We've never been friends, and I don't think that Dionne has ever liked me." The drama allegedly all started five years ago at Whitney Houston's funeral. Dionne was making a speech in front of the funeral-goers and introduced Aretha before realizing that she wasn't actually there. "'Ree's not here, but she is here,...

Our Us chums took a close look at Marvel's Luke Cage trailer looking for bits of Marvel Comics history and clues about the show's future!
After that cool Sdcc teaser, Marvel's Luke Cage Netflix series finally unveiled a full length trailer to give everyone a better idea of what's in store when it arrives in September.
Here it is in case you haven't seen it yet:
Video of Luke Cage - Main Trailer - Only on Netflix September 30 [HD]
Please note, that I'm not going in order or frame by frame to describe stuff that you're seeing. This is mostly in any order that makes sense to me.
Also, the song that plays over roughly the first half of this trailer is "Walk on By" from Isaac Hayes' Hot Buttered Soul album. There is honestly not a better album you could spend the rest of your day listening to.

George Michael‘s PR game hasn’t been stellar for awhile, but he’s such an unforgettable and, uh, devastating vocalist that it’s easy to re-celebrate him. He’s like the male Dionne Warwick in this way. Who cares about a snarly Celebrity Apprentice stint when she sang “Walk on By,” mortals? Who cares about George Michael’s snafus when he gave you everything from “Father Figure” to “Jesus as a Child” and the ever-awesome “Outside” video? We don’t have another George Michael. When he reappears, it’s worth listening without prejudice and burning a leather jacket or two if we’re so inspired.
The new song is called “Let Her Down Easy” and the gorgeous, circus-themed black and white video is directed by Vaughan Arnell, one of Britain’s foremost and most innovative music video directors. Interestingly it’s not one of George’s own tunes, but...

Sarah Assbring, aka "El Perro del Mar," has been playing indie pop for years in Sweden, but only recently has she garnered international attention, due to her collaboration with Lykke Li in 2010. (See the "Change of Heart" video below for the results.) Assbring recently talked to The Huffington Post over the phone, and our conversation ranged from learning about her new album, which debuts this November, to the creepy fan who regularly texts her messages of undying devotion. "Walk On By" is the latest song from her upcoming album, which you can listen to here.
Change of Heart with Lykke Li:

Dionne Warwick has paid tribute to the late songwriter Hal David. David passed away at the age of 91 on Saturday (September 1) due to complications relating to a stroke. He and songwriting partner Burt Bacharach penned many of the biggest hits of the 1960s and 1970s, including 'Close to You', 'I Say a Little Prayer' and 'What's New Pussycat?'. Warwick - who sang Bacharach and David's 'Walk on By' - has praised the writer's influence and gentle nature in a statement to CNN. "I feel as if I have lost another family member, (more)...

Lyricist behind some of the greatest pop hits of the 20th century
By contrast with his songwriter partner Burt Bacharach, whose suavely youthful looks belonged in a 1960s Martini ad, the lyricist Hal David, who has died at the age of 91, resembled a president of a suburban Rotary Club: a conservative, suit-and-tie figure from an earlier generation, modest and unassuming in conversation. But it was David's words as much as Bacharach's melodies that captured an audience for such songs as Anyone Who Had a Heart, I Say a Little Prayer, Walk on By, (There's) Always Something There to Remind Me, Alfie, Trains and Boats and Planes, (They Long to Be) Close to You, Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head and Do You Know the Way to San Jose?
Their period of greatest productivity, between 1962 and 1968, coincided with the heyday of their partnership with Dionne Warwick, the gospel-trained singer who gave voice to their finest collaborations.

Los Angeles — Hal David, the stylish, heartfelt lyricist who teamed with Burt Bacharach on dozens of timeless songs for movies, television and a variety of recording artists in the 1960s and beyond, has died. He was 91.

He had suffered a major stroke in March and was stricken again on Tuesday, she said.

Lioness: Hidden Treasures is the first (possibly of many) posthumous albums and compilations from Amy Winehouse. Mark Ronson, Salaam Remi and Amy’s family compiled this collection of songs and proceeds from the album go to the foundation set up in the wake of her passing; The Amy Winehouse Foundation. It has been clearly stated by her label that this is not the follow up to her certified platinum 2006 album Back to Black but more a collection of songs ranging from before her debut, Frank in 2002 up to her tragic passing earlier this year. The album features covers, demos and duets that showcase her talents and versatility.

The Best Screencap Ever (thx Ontd) Season 4 of Donald’s Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice is only a few episodes in, and it’s already one of the most cringe-worthy Wtf parades on network television. Some of the cast members are really delivering on their personality promise: Nene Leakes is Queen of Face, Jose Canseco is a coked-up Natural History Museum exhibit, and Gary Busey eats babies for breakfast. But there have also been some surprises. Say what you will about Star Jones, but she’s one of the most competent players in the game right now. Same goes for Marlee Matlin, whose no bullsh*t approach to the tasks has been a refreshing change of idiot celebrity pace. (Don’t get me started on her Asl interpreter, who I feel very attached to.) And what about that Lil Jon???? Forgetting that time he was CGI’d into The Phantom Menace,...
