So I've totally gotten sucked into the new Oprah and her Best Life series which aired last week and is all about, well, living your best life as Oprah thinks you should. Every day last week she focused on a different issue: money, body, sex, etc. with the goal being to help her viewers reach the apex of human perfection.
I miss the old Oprah, the one that existed before she went all self-help guru on us. You know, the Oprah who exploited hard-luck cases and made me realize I really didn't hav
The Press has touted Dallas rock band Macon Greyson numerous times. Music Editor Chris Gray had its 20th Century Accidents as one of his top albums of 2007. National mags like No Depression, Paste and Amplifier have all raved about the band while our sister paper in Dallas, the Observer, has studiously ignored MG for whatever hipster reasons that operate in Dallas. Go figure.
Anyway, not to say we told you so - well, maybe a little - but Macon Greyson, who play fairly often at Goode
Bruce Springsteen is one prolific motherfucker. After all, he's produced one entire 4 CD box set (Tracks) of songs that he thought weren't good enough to be included on a regular album, and much of it still blew away anything in comparison. In that vein, we have Working on a Dream, coming little more than a year after his last effort - a record in Bruceland - written and recorded almost entirely during breaks and hiatuses from last year's Magic tour.

And it's Rice FTW!!!Sure, the basketball team sucks, the football program's a perpetual work in progress, and even the baseball team ain't what it used to be. But the Owls have DOMINATED the MTV contest to send people to interview celebrities on the Academy Awards red carpet!We told you about the two Rice students who had entered the contest. MTV announced this afternoon that Faheem Ahmed and Anish Patel were the winners of the online vote, and will be going to LA this weekend.Where, no doubt, t
Ugh! The only interesting thing about the whole damn show was the realization that Goldie Hawn looks like Mickey Rourke. Stop with the work, lady!
Seriously. God love Hugh Jackman, but this is not the Tonys. Could that Beyonce "Best of the Musicals" number been any more cheese ball? I have expected Brad Pitt to jump up from his front row seat and start in on "When You're a Jet." Bleh.
Speaking of, crazy about Jennifer Aniston and Earth Mother sitting right near each other. Was I the on
With Wrestlemania in town for its 25th anniversary, Rocks Off thought we could take a little stroll down memory lane and relive some of the WWE's best wrestling theme songs.
Nowadays, the WWE can afford to purchase the rights to slick, well-produced songs by popular music acts such as Saliva, Our Lady Peace, Rob Zombie and plenty of others. It wasn't always this way, though. In the earlier days, wrestlers had to come up with a way to incorporate older, public-domain music as their themes, a

If you've ever seen a one-legged dog than you've seen me," Bruce Springsteen sings in the title song to The Wrestler.Well, we've never seen a one-legged dog, to be honest, but we could have seen Mickey Rourke if we went to last night's WrestleMania extravaganza at Reliant Stadium. We could also have seen lots of fireworks, manic dives, complicated plot lines, and 70,000 ecstatic fans.Luckily Dan Kramer was th
