​File this under: "Puerto Rico, Ohhhh No!"

Taino Sunz, one of the more exciting hip-hop tandems to newly form out of OC, dissolved as group over the weekend. HecVortex and Quique Cruz, compelling together as their recently released and reviewed EP The Break of Dawn attests to, are going their separate musical ways after breakdown in communications spelled the end of the duo.

Cruz will continue on with his EBS Muzik hustle including an upcoming tribute video/song for Guru. HecVortex is forging ahead on a planned event Our Stories: Hip Hop in the 21st Century featuring performances, dialogue and screenings in SanTana later this month. More >>

​Sesame Street announced that a new, "poverty-stricken Muppet" will talk about hunger struggles on Sesame Street. Named Muppet Lily, her family deals with "food insecurity,"  and will part of a prime-time special with country singer Brad Paisley and his wife Kimberly Williams Paisley called "Growing Hope Against Hunger," to air Oct 9.

She's supposed to bring awareness to the ongoing hunger struggles that families face in the United States. As the Paisleys said in the statement, "Food insecurity is a growing and difficult issue for adults to discuss, much less children."

The Oct. 9 show will show kids telling personal stories of their families struggling with hunger, and will also show how some families deal with it, including food drives and assistance programs.

What was once (and still could be, who the hell knows)

​ There some people who are blinded by love, then there others who are addicted to it--sadly Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez are each of these things, respectively.

Some were surprised when the pair announced their separation less than a week ago, mostly because the two were seen on just about every channel promoting their various endeavors from American Idol, to Gucci ads, and new dance tracks, all helmed by J.Lo. However, they both are working on a new reality show called Q'Viva!, an American Idol-like show with a Latino spin, of course, and have vowed to continue to proceed with through their separation. Awkward!

So as we bid-adios to one of our favorite power couples (we wouldn't put it past them to pull this off as a publicity stunt, perhaps reconcile during their show launch), we sincerely ask Marc Anthony, how could you have missed the signs? (Yes, we are thinking this is all Lopez' doing considering her track record).

​Missy Elliott reveals she's had Graves' disease--an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid--since 2008.

Elliott told People Magazine that the symptoms came suddenly:  "I was [driving and] trying to put my foot on the brake, but my leg was jumping. I couldn't keep the brake down and almost crashed," Elliott said. "I couldn't write because my nervous system was so bad -- I couldn't even use a pen."

​Hey, neat, I was waiting for it and here it is: Officially tired of Tyler, the Creator.

Tonight, Tyler, the Creator tweeted the above--a response to Tegan and Sara's own blog post on "misogynistic and homophobic ranting and raving" in the entertainment industry.  

Kid, I know you've got a new album to plug but using homophobic slurs doesn't make you edgy, hip or really all that shocking. Give it up and just go with that whole talent thing you've got, k?

@FuckTyler indeed.

​Just because it's Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver that have announced their separation doesn't mean they can't curl up into their own fetal balls and wallow with miserable music.

After all, the Governator has feelings too--even though he doesn't always show it! (Hyuk, hyuk.)

After the jump, a break-up soundtrack tailored for the couple who "are living apart while we work on the future of our relationship."

Today, some more bad news: According to Verbicide, the Decemberists' keyboardist, Jenny Conlee, was diagnosed with cancer. In a note on their website and to fans on their mailing list, front man Colin Meloy said the band found out a month ago.

The good news is that Jenny caught it early. And while the prognosis is very, very good for a full recovery, tackling the disease will mean some intensive treatment for our Jenny, as well as a lot of important recovery time.

Meloy says that with Conlee's "fervent blessings," they're pushing forward with their scheduled tour dates this spring and summer.
