Fall Out Boy's Break

After releasing about an album a year since 2003, Fall Out Boy is taking a break.  According to their drummer Andy Hurley, they are on "hiatus" for the next year at least.  They are releasing a greatest hits album on November 17th called Believers Never Die, and then they are done for the near future.  However, Pete Wentz, who can never resist making a tounge-in-cheek statement, told MTV that they would reunite right away if given the opportunity to play in Sealand. Apparently, The Principality of Sealand is an independent micronation about six miles off the coast of Great Britain, was founded in 1967, and is run by a British radio broadcaster.  Never heard of it?  Neither had we.  Pete Wentz must spend too much time on Wikipedia, which could possibly be to blame for the band's hiatus.

Piece of Me(at) - Britney Spears

Kudos to MTV for trying something different with the exclusive internet release of Britney's new video, but for god sakes promote something with substance. They're also doing the same thing with another piece of classy media, Jackass 2.5.
There's a reason why I stopped watching MTV and they keep reinforcing it over and over again w/ the reality shows, the mere fractions of music videos, and the less than credible artists they promote.
I don't hate MTV, I dislike the boring, money-hungry machine it has become.
Happy Holidays!
