While you weren't paying attention, Jared Leto was touring the world and playing rock and roll for hundreds of thousands of rabid fans. Except he doesn't like the word "fan," because he finds it insulting. Thirty Seconds to Mars, the band Leto fronts, doesn't have "fans," they have a "family."

As he adds more business ventures and philanthropic efforts to his resume, 50 Cent has found himself in a curious spot. Battling not only album delays but also a rapidly shifting hip-hop landscape, the man who exploded onto the scene with the inescapable night-out anthem "In Da Club" is once...

Kanye West is an outspoken artist who doesn't give interviews. But luckily for him, there are at least a thousand people in any given city who are interested in hearing him perform. In between songs, he's then able to say whatever he wants to a captive (and sometimes captivated) audience....

Entrepreneur, philanthropist, rapper: 50 Cent is many things nowadays. Come May 18, however, he'll reprise a lesser-known role as a featured performer during the X Games in Barcelona.

The "Magic Stick" rapper has played 2011's Winter X Games, but this is his first time doing so at a summer...

Say what you will about Beyonce, but she knows her way around a nice internet gesture. After Beyonce postponed a show in Antwerp, Belgium on doctor's orders, the singer took to her website to send a note to her fans.

Beyonce's apology came...

Jared Leto's Thirty Seconds to Mars are white-hot right now. They premiered a song ("Up in the Air") from space and cast everyone from other artists to Olympians in teasers for the track's music video. But the band isn't letting up: They're debuting a lyric video...

Plusieurs milliers d’internautes signalaient aujourd’hui sur Twitter qu’une version piratée du nouvel album du groupe Daft Punk était disponible en ligne. Ce téléchargement pirate donne toutefois accès à des pistes audio de faible qualité.

L’album «Random Access Memories» marquait le retour du groupe house et électro sur la scène...

"Daft Punk leak!" screamed thousands of tweets on Monday afternoon. It's true: "Random Access Memories," the highly anticipated comeback album from house legends Daft Punk slipped through some cracks and found itself available for a bootleg download.

Daft Punk's album doesn't come out for a few more days, but the French duo has offered fans another tidbit of info on the highly guarded project. In the "Random Access Memories" unboxing video posted Monday, the robots find their own record in a space-age control room of sorts.

When Governors Ball once again lands on New York's Randall's Island next month, the 3-year-old festival will mushroom to three days and bring with it the likes of Kanye West, Guns N Roses, Kings of Leon, Nas and plenty of other big names. That's a far cry from...

Critics have been up in arms at Baz Lurhmann and Jay-Z's decision to use contemporary music in "The Great Gatsby." That criticism is somewhat unfounded, as songs by even the most "contemporary" artists (Lana Del Rey) actually work quite nicely in the movie. Even if those artists did distract from...

Cher's Mom, Georgia Holt, hits the Billboard charts for the first time in her life this week, but that doesn't mean the 86-year-old has recorded any new tunes.

"Honky Tonk Woman," which landed at No. 13 on Billboard's Heatseeker Albums chart, was recorded in 1980. The album...

Either Beyonce has an odd talent for shoving her microphone into famous people's faces or her concert tickets are so expensive that only folks of a certain pedigree are close enough to interact with the singer. At her show in Manchester on Wednesday, the singer ended up dueting with Joe...

Mariah Carey's comeback has been brewing for some time now, and she moved one step closer to her goal (world domination?) with the release of the "#Beautiful" video, featuring Miguel.

Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong is apparently not a fan of Korean singer PSY. We know this because he took it upon himself to post a photo of PSY on Instagram with the following caption: "This dude is the herpes of music. Once you think it's gone, it...

Never known for its temperance, humility or logic, the Catholic League is at it again. This time, the U.S.-based religious group is taking David Bowie to task for the singer's new music video for the "The Next Day," calling him a "switch-hitting bisexual senior citizen from London." (Oooh,...

To hear the critics tell it, Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of "The Great Gatsby" is the disappointment of the year. There's not enough jazz, they say. There was no 3-D in the 1920s! It's two movies that don't fit together! Has Jay-Z even read the book?!

If you're a fan of...

In a new documentary short film on DFA Records, James Murphy, Jonathan Galkin and a bevy of artists take you inside the famously quirky and tight-knit label. It's pretty great.
