Richard Marx Subdues Deranged Passenger On Airplane

Rodgers has been recognized without his band, Chic, to whom he credits much of his subsequent success as a writer and producer. "It's sort of bittersweet," he told Rolling Stone.

"I'm a little perplexed because even though I'm quite flattered that they believed that I was worthy, my band Chic didn't win. They plucked me out of the band and said, 'You're better than Chic.' That's wacky to me. The only reason why I met Bowie and Madonna and Duran Duran and INXS is because they all loved Chic."

The track list for the new EP features live re-workings of 'Everglow', 'Viva La Vida', 'Adventure Of A Lifetime', 'Yellow' and their 2008 Christmas single 'Christmas Lights'. Check it out here.

The chill song sounds pretty close in tone and subject matter to their hit "Closer." In the first clip, Drew wears a white t-shirt and mouths the lyrics heard playing in the background: "We were staying in Paris to get away from your parents."

Minaj's new app includes a potential reference to Banks' album 2012 Fantasea in which she appears on the cover as a cartoon mermaid. A character in the app mentions a release by an artist called Fan2Sea, and even though the album is supposed to sound like a mermaid, it "sort of like a really loud, obnoxious screech that goes on for hours."

Banks didn't take kindly to the possible shade and went on a Facebook tirade. In a post that has since been deleted, Banks told Minaj not to be jealous. She also told Minaj to lose weight and compared her work to McDonald's in that she may sell a lot of product, but that doesn't mean it's "the pinnacle of cuisine and taste."

"'Mary Did You Know' is one of the most beautiful Christmas songs ever written," said Straight No Chaser's Jerome Collins. "Dan Ponce, a founding member of Straight No Chaser, and I were inspired to arrange a version of the song that would live up to the original but also give it a different spin that many people have not heard before. Every time I sing this song I think of the gifts most precious to me, my family."

The 2-hour special will air again on Friday, December 23 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The DVD of the movie, which also features a guest appearance by Dolly Parton, is available today at retailers nationwide.

"Dolly Parton's Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love" tells the story of when the Partons, a family of humble means living in the mountains of Tennessee, face a devastating event that challenges their will.

Where Pentatonix turned to Queen for inspiration on "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," and transformed into Legos for "Up On the Housetop," they went to church for their latest, "O Come, All Ye Faithful."

The song's normally slow tempo got an upbeat remake under the five vocalists' thumb, and they bring that energy to their latest video. The quintet sticks with a black and white theme where their costumes are concerned, and stand in front of a red theater curtain to perform throughout the majority of the song, but at the halfway point they shift locations and go to church where they're backed by a choir dressed in red robes.

"Over the past several months we have consistently made every effort to sit down and discuss the future of Fifth Harmony with Camila," the members say in their statement. 'We have spent the past year and a half (since her initial solo endeavor) trying to communicate to her and her team all of the reasons why we felt Fifth Harmony deserved at least one more album of her time, given the success of this past year that we'd all worked so hard for."

"We called for group meetings which she refused," they continued. "We asked L.A. Reid and the label to step in and try to set meetings, which again, she refused. We even went as far as group counseling which she did not show up to. So no, after months of rejection from her and her team, these supposed lengthy conversations in fact never happened, although we pleaded. We have tried with exhausted efforts and hearts to keep this group alive as the five of us, and we want it to be very clear that unfortunately those efforts were not mutual."

Three-time Grammy winner Charley Pride taught himself to play guitar in his early teens, but he dreamed of becoming a professional baseball player. After playing in the Negro American League, he was signed by RCA Victor and in 1967 he became the first African-American singer to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. (Later, in 1993, Pride became the Grande Ole Opry's first
African-American member.) "Just Between You And Me" launched Pride to stardom, earning him his first GRAMMY nomination for 1966. In 1969, Pride scored his first No. 1 country hit with "All I Have To Offer You (Is Me)." The recognition led to a long and auspicious career for Pride, who is considered the first African-American superstar in country music.

The Recording Academy will also honor Shirley Caesar, Ahmad Jamal, Jimmie Rodgers, Nina Simone, Sly Stone and the Velvet Underground with the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Underwood and Urban's Ripcord World Tour kicked off on December 3 in Wellington, New Zealand, where the two singers performed for the very first time. Additional stops in Australia included Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane.

The clip shows Underwood hard at work as she conducted several television and radio interviews in the midst of her busy touring schedule. It was not all work and no play for Underwood, though. The singer enjoyed her first time skydiving with her crew as well as spent some time at the beach. The video includes moments from her live show and nightly collaboration with Urban as well as meet and greets with her fans.

Ferg and Baller appear through out the new video and Vert makes a brief appearance in the clip, which depicts a crowded punk scene in black-and-white.

"F� Me, I'm Famous" arrives under the name "Gnarly Davidson," which appears to be his new alter ego, and a nod to his other musical project with producer Danger Mouse, Gnarls Barkley.

Green doesn't show up in the video. Instead, "Gnarly Davidson" roams a bouncing pool party and lip-syncs to the lyrics. Dressed like a rock star, Gnarly exudes swagger and confidence as he provides his female attendees with one option if they're looking to go home with someone that night.

High school student Grace, the student who tweeted the initial plea, messaged with Sounds Like Nashville about the deal. "It started as a joke but we actually talked her into it!" she wrote the outlet via Twitter DM. "It was initially 500 rts but she changed it to 750 'just to be safe.'" The students chose Bentley because their teacher is a huge fan.

To write the follow-up to 2013's Days Are Gone, Danielle, Este and Alana headed back to their family living room where it all started. As their new music unfolded, they felt drawn to incorporate different musical choices.

"I played a fretless five-string [bass], and I haven't played a fretless five-string since I was a 12-year-old listening to Korn," Este said. Besides the three sisters, outside collaborators included Days Are Gone producer Ariel Rechtshaid and Rostam Batmanglij, formerly of Vampire Weekend.
