Regardless of the tabloid trash Tom Cruise that surrounds Tom Cruise’s life, I will always love him. And I will also always love that he has a zero tolerance policy for defamation, and he’s unafraid to sue. Such is the case with Life & Style and In Touch Magazine, who he is suing for $50 million for claiming he abandoned his child. If you’re rich, then why not set a precedent of squashing these horrific stories, especially when those stories involve innocent children that did not choose the limelight? Good job, Tom.

Did Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel’s Friend Mock Homeless People? — I Vote No
Am I the only person on the planet that approves of Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s wedding video? It’s purpose isn’t to mock homeless people, it’s to mock Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel for their ridiculously expensive wedding. Furthermore, the subjects seem in on the joke.

Bruno Mars’ “Locked Out of Heaven” — Police Rip-off?
The second I heard Bruno Mars perform “Locked Out of Heaven” on Saturday Night Live I thought it sounded strikingly similar to a Police song. So I googled it, and predictably, I’m not the only one who noticed. In fact, Bruno Mars himself addressed the controversy, saying, “I grew up listening to the Police, I grew up performing in bars, singing Police songs. … I remember performing a song like ‘Roxanne,’ and you play those first couple of chords, and you hit that first note, and you watch the whole bar ignite. And as an artist, as a songwriter, it’s like ‘Man, I want to write a song that makes people’s eyes explode the first chord!'” I suppose the best way to write a song like The Police is to copy it? As an aside, Bruno Mars is an astoundingly good performer. Watch below.
Update: Sting just performed this song with Bruno Mars at the 2013 Grammys. If Sting isn’t pissed, then neither is The Dishmaster.
LeAnn Rimes Sobs to Katie Couric — Still Unstable?
LeAnn Rimes drives me nuts. If you can’t take public criticism, then get out of the public. Delete your twitter account, get off facebook, and disappear. Furthermore, when you make the big-girl choice of having an affair with a married man, then you also make the big-girl choice of dealing with an angry ex-wife that will likely make you miserable for eternity. And lastly, after attending rehab for emotional issues, it would probably be best not to publicly cry, because it makes it seem as if you’re still mentally unstable. Take the time it takes to heal and be silent until then.

Iron Man Returns — Tony Stark Destroyed? — Watch the Trailer
When asked what superhero I’d most like to sleep with, I always say Iron Man without equivocation. He’s the perfect combination of nerdy and cool, which very much aligns with my taste. And I’m pleased to see him return for a third installment, which may or may not be his last, considering most of these movies go for three runs. Let’s hope that this one is on par with Avengers and not Iron Man 2.

Music Spotlight On: Lake Street Dive
While stalking Daniel Bedingfield’s twitter page (it’s interesting — you should do it too), I came across his endorsement of a band called Lake Street Dive. According to Daniel, it’s the “best Crooning [he’s] heard for fuck knows how long.” Their EP is entitled, “Fun Machine,” and it’s a series of incredible covers from a front-woman with a refreshingly unique voice. Listen below.
