Arctic Monkeys Side Project The Last Shadow Puppets Arrive in NYC

Though no one could quite remember the name of the band, a few dozen New Yorkers showed up at Brooklyn’s Sound Fix Lounge last night for a “surprise” acoustic gig by the Last Shadow Puppets: a collaboration between Arctic Monkeys singer Alex Turner and his mate Miles Kane from U.K. group the Rascals. The pair worked through unplugged renditions of eight songs from their forthcoming album to a crowd that included Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig and Rostam Batmanglij. (VW fans will be pleased to know that drummer Chris Thompson is doing just fine after being hit by a taxi in London last week. “He didn’t even need stitches,” Batmanglij says.) The Puppets’ set was decidedly low-key, coming on more like noir-ish Sixties soundtrack music than the loose-limbed Brit-punk of the Arctic Monkeys. Or, as one astute fan noted: “If the Arctic Monkeys are Blur, this is the Good, The Bad and The Queen.” The duo’s debut album, The Age Of Understatement, is due out April 21st, if that sounds like your cup of tea. For our part, we were impressed. [Photo: Bao Nguyen]

Cobra Starship Grab “Gossip Girl,” “Idol” Stars for “Hot Mess”

For “Good Girls Go Bad,” the first single from Cobra Starship’s forthcoming third album (click to listen), the band did something familiar: immersed themselves in pop culture. The group known for turning “Snakes on a Plane” from a punchline into a radio hit landed guest vocals from the ultimate good girl with a bad streak — Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester, who plays Blair Waldorf, the show’s bitchy queen bee with a loyal heart — recruited newbie American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi (who co-wrote Ke

Star style at Alice in Wonderland premiere

The glamorous Alice In Wonderland cast showcased a variety of different styles last night at the premiere – as usual, some good, some bad. We think Helena Bonham-Carter can pull off anything. The quirky actress, who plays the Queen of Hearts in the forthcoming movie,  wore a Vivienne Westwood number that looked like it was three separate dresses sewn into one. With black and white ruched sleeves and a red heart on the floaty bottom part, Ms Bonham-Carter’s dress resembled a pack of cards –

LISTEN UP: Good Television

Ladle up the two new live tracks from Spoon over at You Ain't No Picasso. The Yellow Stereo has a whole bunch of awesome in their Daily Graboid, including tracks from Deerhoof, The Shins and The Good, The Bad, & The Queen.

lady bunny joins PETA against KFC

good evening! here's legendary drag queen (and blogger!) lady bunny (a sassy staple on the NYC scene) unveiling a brand new billboard in manhattan's soho neighborhood (very close to my old apartment on grand & thompson) featuring her bad self and PETA - both saying no to kentucky fried chicken (along with pamela anderson) which i haven't personally ate in years and i highly doubt i'll be going there anytime soon...that nasty dead chicken hanging out of colonel sanders' bucket is a complete turn-off (read more about KFC's policy of cruelty) i do love fried chicken but certainly not at the expense of cruelty towards animals - i swear i could become a vegetarian if it wasn't for bacon - hands down the best thing to ever come off a pig! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo PHOTOS | WENN

tom vs katie: the fight for suri!

good morning everyone! this week's STAR magazine is calling trouble again for tom cruise and katie holmes - with a supposed trial separation in the works for the couple which if true doesn't surprise me at all (this is what i've hoped for all along...i can't stand them as a couple!) but there's one precious little girl - miss suri cruise who may get caught in the middle of their drama! she's totally an adorable kid but she does look slightly demonic below - she's all 'don't cry mommy!' (but she's really thinking 'i'll take care of daddy for you...') the other day there were rumors floating around that tom didn't want his wife hanging out with victoria beckham who he claims is a bad influence on his 'stepford' lady - and we all know that tom likes to control everything he can yet he might not be able keep katie under his thumb for much longer or stop his marriage from falling apart...if they do split up - he'll totally be itching to get a replacement model - so ladies of hollywood - beware - the hunt for mr. cruise's next scientology queen could be underway soon! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
