%{}% Heidi Montag has appeared on the reality show The Hills and performed some dance music.

Montag’s lifts and load-ins have been covered in national magazines and on TV. Last month she discussed the topic on the…

FRIDAY Diverse lineup at RecordBar, with Lawrence trio Noise FM playing their muscular, Muse-y, modern rock prior to Ozark-bred Ha Ha Tonka taking the stage and doing their roots-rock thing. Over at Davey’s, Federation of Horsepower will be engaging in some ferocious ass-kicking. In Lawrence, super-weird Chicago art-rocker Bobby Conn is at Replay. Saturday and Sunday after the jump.

Pitch writer Nadia Pflaum just sent me a link to If It Was My Home via Relentlessly Optimistic. There, you can put the BP oil spill over your hometown. Here’s what it would look like over Kansas City … and Overland Park … and Manhattan .. and Cameron … and all the way to the Iowa border. Sad times. Categories:…
Last night’s 50 Cent concert at the Midland was like good sex: intimate, sweaty, aggressive, and in its final moments, wet. Joined by fellow G-Unit members Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo, 50 Cent proved that even after his recent turn as an actor in the upcoming film Things Fall Apart, New York’s bad guy still knows how to turn a…

Are smart phones eliminating the safety net provided by “employees must wash hands” signs in bathrooms? That’s the scary suggestion from the Barf Blog, which notes that all too many people continue to text or respond to e-mail while technically indisposed. The issue with “dirty thumbers” is that even if they wash their hands, the potential for bacterial transfer is…
Of all the West 18th Street Fashion Show designers I’ve met thus far, Nataliya Meyer has come the farthest — literally. Meyer is 27, and she moved here from her native Ukraine seven years ago. Meyer is a fun conversationalist, not only because of her accent but because her thoughts spill out in such an unselfconscious manner. “I love history,…

(It isn’t the first time Tech N9ne has shown some love for Gates Bar-B-Q, but it’s definitely his most obvious tribute.) Well, here’s the video. It premiered on mtvU today….
You already know that Fred Phelps and his tribe of rabid evangelicals in the Westboro Baptist Church are parodying pop songs. (Hey, we even got linked on Gawker and HuffPo for our post about Megan Phelps-Roper’s embarrassingly awful “Poker Face” parody in January.) But the Phelps crew doesn’t only do embarrassing karaoke for most of their radio hits. They do videos, too…
