Do you love musical tributes to film? If so, you may be in luck, as Elton John, Beyonce and Carrie Underwood are headlining Movies Rock, a two-hour music-and-film show that, despite its name, seems to lack any actual rockage. Must be an editorial oversight. The performance will air Dec. 7 on CBS, with highlights including Fergie and Jennifer Hudson singing the music to Live and Let Die and Goldfinger. Richard Beckman, president of Conde Nast Media Group, who's one third of the trifecta of companies funding this thing, said in a press release, "We wanted to create an extraordinary show... read more

You’ve been losing trivia nights ever since Pop-Up Video and Behind the Music went off the air, haven’t you? Well, here’s a tidbit you can use to impress your friends: Reginald Dwight is the name behind the myth, the man and the geometrically-inclined-sunglasses-wearing Sir Elton John. Someone Like Me, a new documentary about the knighted rocker, is chock full of everything they warned us about during high school assemblies — drug addictions, depression and tantrums. A lesser man would have caved years ago. But after 60 years and over 200 million in album sales, John just keeps on providing ripe... read more
