@ActuallyNPH (Neil Patrick Harris) Bobsleds are cool. They look so modern. I wonder what’s inside of them? Cup holders? Ipod docks? Mood lighting? Flat screen TVs?
@michellebranch One of my biggest pet peeves: when artists have a talking part in the middle of their song. It literally triggers my gag reflux.
@spencerpratt The day that hunger is eradicated from the earth, there will be the greatest spiritual explosion the world has ever known.

Celebrated punk rock cult heroes, Alkaline Trio have released their new album, This Addiction, on February 23 via Epitaph Records/Heart & Skull. I had the opportunity to attend the first show off their new tour in Portland, Oregon. What a great city to host such a great night! The crowd was LOVING the show – and Alkaline Trio played their heart out. They played fast and furious, and put on a heart-stopping performance! They have a lot of touring ahead of them – after the jump, find out when they are coming to your town, and go see them! You won’t be sorry!

Recorded and produced by the band with help from longtime cohort Matt Allison at Atlas Studios in Chicago, This Addiction marks Alkaline Trio’s first release on their imprint label Heart & Skull and first with their parent label Epitaph Records. The album also finds the Trio revisiting their punk roots while moving forward creatively.
“This record is a rock record but our punk rock upbringing definitely shines through, more so than our last few records,” singer/guitarist Matt Skiba recently told Spinner.com. “The vibe is similar to our humble beginnings. It’s a step forward but I also think it has glimmers of our past in it.”
A metaphoric crowd pleaser, “This Addiction” is “about a relationship gone bad and, for some reason, you just can’t quit it,” Skiba told Spinner.com. The single is also currently available for sale on iTunes and at other digital retailers.
The album’s title track and first single wastes no time in setting the tone of the album as it rips and roars with Matt Skiba’s exceptional vocals and signature guitar riffs, bassist and co/vocalist Dan Andriano’s thumping low-end and drummer Derek Grant’s steadfast beats. From soon-to-be fan-favorites like the Andriano led rocker “Dine, Dine My Darling” and politically charged anthem “The American Scream” to the sonically mesmerizing rhythm and lyrics of “Dorothy” and the thrilling sing-along “Draculina,” This Addiction showcases Skiba, Andriano and Grant’s abounding gift for songwriting and crafting passionate punk fueled rock that will make fans fall in love with them all over again.
“I think that we wanted to make a punk rock record that we’ve been describing as ‘thinking-man’s punk,’” said Skiba. “We wanted to do something that’s fun but also interesting and lyrically, something that will be fun for people to read along to and hopefully understand.”
The band’s seventh studio album, This Addiction, will be available as a standard CD, a limited Deluxe CD/DVD edition (containing two bonus songs, four acoustic tracks and a full length concert DVD), as well as Gatefold LP vinyl. Epitaph will also have exclusive items signed by the band, rare vinyl and Limited Collector’s bundles – all with a standard digital download or a Deluxe Digital Download.

Alkaline Trio first emerged from Chicago in 1996 and has since released the full length studio albums Goddamnit, Maybe I’ll Catch Fire, From Here To Infirmary, Good Mourning, Crimson and last year’s Agony & Irony, which was the highest charting record for the band’s to date. The band is comprised of Skiba, Andriano and drummer Derek Grant, all of whom are partners in Heart & Skull.
BELOW: Opening for Alkaline Trio was Cursive, who also put on an amazing show!
Cursive began a full US tour with Alkaline Trio earlier this week in Southern California. The tour runs through April 2. Several new shows without Alkaline Trio have recently been added as well. Check out the full list below. The tour continues live dates for 2009′s Mama, I’m Swolen record.
What people are saying about Mama, I’m Swollen:
…Cursive rocking out at its best. Lyrically, frontman Tim Kasher never misses a step (see the men-as-animals ‘From The Hips’ and ‘Donkeys’), proving once again why he’s among indie rock’s greats. – Billboard
Equal parts noise-rock with a respect for tried-and-true melodies, these tales of misery have enough gumption to truly lay it on the line. – Filter Good Music Guide
Mama, I’m Swollen might be Cursive’s most body-rocking album yet, with its bounty of hard-edged guitar riffs, vinegary horn licks and thorny, Fugazi-like melodies. – Time Out New York
…absolutely stellar. – Alternative Press
TONS of pictures from the concert PLUS Tour dates for Alkaline Trio & Cursive after the jump! (more…)
For someone who scored her first modeling gig at 11 months old, Brooke Shields sounded stunningly normal when she opened up to Life & Style about her life during New York Fashion Week. Whether she’s bumming around in sweats with her hubby, Chris Henchy, and daughters Rowan, 6, and Grier, 3, or filming Furry Vengeance with Brendan Fraser, the 44-year-old actress and model seems to have found the perfect balance.
On having more kids:
Brooke: I’d love more kids. I don’t know how much longer my clock is going to tick, so it’s going to depend on my egg age.
On balancing career and family:
Brooke: I don’t think you ever feel you’re balancing anything. My kids are great, and I have a good husband. You’ve just got to keep everything in the air.
On Valentine’s Day with the family:
Brooke: I had a Donna Karan dress all laid out because I was going to go on a date with my husband, and I looked at him and said, “I just can’t do it. Let’s just hang around with the kids.” We were all in sweat pants and made cookies all day!

The embattled singer, who’s had a couple of self-created rough weeks lately, put a much less controversial side of himself on display during his concert in Philadelphia Sunday night.
While performing, John took notice of 11-year-old Austin Christy holding up a sign that read “Can I play ‘Belief’ with you?” reports CourierPostOnline.com. He graciously invited the sixth-grader up on stage, where the two jammed together for the crowd of roughly 25,000 fans, including Austin’s mom.
As if that weren’t enough, John even gave the kid an autographed guitar as a parting gift.
