His 17th studio album, "Wrecking Ball" features 11 new Springsteen recordings and was produced by Ron Aniello with Bruce Springsteen and executive producer Jon Landau. "Bruce has dug down as deep as he can to come up with this vision of modern life," said longtime manager Landau. "The lyrics tell a story you can't hear anywhere else and the music is his most innovative of recent years. The writing is some of the best of his career and both veteran fans and those who are new to Bruce will find much to love on 'Wrecking Ball.'" Check out the preview here.
McConaughey looks shockingly similar to his portrayal of Wodderson nearly 20 years ago. His remarkable genetics even earned Butch some press on the celebrity gossip site TMZ. The fun video features the Dazed and Confused character as the focus, leaving the actual singer Walker mere cameo status as the bartender that shouts "That's right!" An additional cameo for eagle-eyed viewers to spot is adult film legend Ron Jeremy as a patron. Check it out here.
A contest that sounds quite unusual at first, is actually a good intentioned move on the part of the Osbourne's and 'The Late Show With David Letterman' announcer Alan Kalter. They have joined forces with the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital to create the CBS Cares Colonoscopy Sweepstakes. One lucky, and simultaneously unlucky, winner will receive airfare to New York City, $500 to play with, and hotel accommodations. Oh yeah, they'll also get a camera crammed in their rectum. more on this story
Along the way, Alice Cooper has developed a somehow lovable persona, making him rock's favorite villain to date. In the following choice quotes, Alice talks about hitting rock-bottom during his struggle with substance addiction, touring with fellow horror rocker Rob Zombie, finding a Christian faith and getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Rock on, Alice! On finally getting inducted into the Hall of Fame, as told to USA Today in 2011: We were Susan Lucci for quite a long time � or Pete Rose, whichever way you look at it! � I went, 'That's kind of cool. Every year, it's this new outrage.' I was sitting there, going, 'Calm down. Don't worry. Our time will come.'" On staying excited about music 30-plus years later, as told to Horror Garage: You know, it's funny, 'cause I think that if it's in your blood, you never get tired of it. I'm still a rock 'n' roll fan. I have a 19-year-old and a 15-year-old, and I'm probably the only dad in the world that bangs on their door and says, 'Turn that up!' If it's good rock 'n' roll, I'm the first one to turn it up. Like anything else: there's great rock 'n' roll, there's crappy rock 'n' roll. And I'm not real prejudiced. As much as I'm not a big rap fan, I love Eminem. I think Eminem is very funny. more on this story

Robin Zander was born on this day in 1953 in the town of Beloit, Wisconsin, along the Illinois border. The fourth of five children, Robin was raised in a musical household, with his father playing in a local jazz band. In 1964, though, he was floored � like most kids of his generation � by The Beatles' invasion of America. The following year, he got his first guitar and, shortly thereafter, formed his first band, The Destinations. As he progressed through school in Loves Park, Illinois, he bounced from band to band and sang in a choral group. Robin, as it so happened, was blessed with one of those one-in-million-voices that was both bell-clear and stentorian in its power. He was, to put it succinctly, the perfect rock singer. Which made his next move, at the dawn of the 1970s, a bit puzzling. Chicago was teeming with garage rock bands like Shadows of Knight, The Cryan' Shames and the Grim Reapers (the latter featuring a certain Rick Nielsen and Tom Petersson). Zander, though, followed a different path, teaming up with a pianist to form the folk duo Zander and Kent. Every summer, the duo held a residency in the resort area known as the Wisconsin Dells. In between gigs with Zander and Kent, he would sometimes moonlight in oldies bands with his pal, Brad Carlson (a.k.a. Bun E. Carlos). more on this story
