“The Osbournes” becomes a reality show in the bleakest sense this season, as Ozzy and the kids cope with matriarch Sharon Osbourne’s colon cancer. Yet as the second batch of episodes begins Tuesday, MTV also is trying to maintain the wackiness that made the series the network’s biggest hit. The heavy-metal rocker, his wife and two of their three children are very different people than they were when they opened their home to us a year ago – and opened the floodgates to a slew of copycats. They still spew plenty of profanities for the censors to bleep out. And… Read more »
Nearly 40 years after he wrote the lyric “He not busy being born is busy dying,” Bob Dylan clearly still believes that estimation is right on the mark. Looking snazzy in a black cowboy hat and old-school Western suit, the 60-year-old folk-rock icon was tireless, fearless and masterful throughout his 140-minute show Thursday at the Arena.

NSYNC’s Justin Timberlake says he was just as concerned as many of his fans last week by a false report that had him in a coma and his girlfriend Britney Spears dead after a car accident.

A Dallas radio station has fired two disc jockeys who sparked a panic among Britney Spears fans with a phony report that the teen pop star was killed in a car crash with boyfriend Justin Timberlake, the radio station said Tuesday. Police and fire officials in Los Angeles were deluged with phone calls after two San Jose-based deejays, known as Kramer and Twitch, claimed a source told them Spears was dead and Timberlake, a member of the teen heartthrob band ‘N Sync, was in a coma after a crash in Los Angles. They aired their fake report during a nighttime… Read more »
Britney Spears is alive and well, her publicist has said, despite rumors of her death in a car crash with her pop star boyfriend Justin Timberlake that triggered hundreds of frantic phone calls to Los Angeles authorities. “There is no truth to the rumor circulating around the world that Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were involved in a car accident on Tuesday,” Spears publicist Lisa Kasteler said in a statement about the false report. Kasteler said that Spears, 19, and Timberlake, 20, were both in “great health” and hard at work: Spears recording a new album and Timberlake on tour… Read more »
