​Jonathan Davis, lead singer of Korn, says he feels Barack Obama has "basically dragged this country down into the worst it's ever been," and calls the president an "Illuminati puppet."

The nu-metal band, who played Los Angeles last night, released their latest, a "dubstep" album, The Path of Totality, Monday (Davis told Billboard Korn was "dubstep before there was dubstep").

Featuring production by the genre's boy wonder, Skrillex, the record includes the song "Illuminati." The track puts forth the conspiracy theory that Obama's decisions are dictated by a secret society called the Illuminati, which Davis says he's studied.

​Last month, a coroner ruled that Amy Winehouse died from excessive alcohol consumption, having consumed enough alcohol on the day of her death to render her more than five times over the legal drink-drive limit. But Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker says the tabloids are as much to blame for the death of the twenty-seven year old singer.

Cocker told The Guardian:

"Amy Winehouse passed away this year and it was all 'drugs killed Amy Winehouse'. I think that the press killed Amy Winehouse as much as drugs did, because it sends people into that place where they've got no peace, and so they just try to escape. And sometimes you use drugs and drink to do that."

​Poor Justin Bieber--the 17-year-old isn't even legal to bone yet, and already there's a lady claiming that he's the father of her baby.

Meet 20-year-old (uh, statutory rape, or at least a misdemeanor in California, anyone?) Mariah Yeater, the classy broad whose claiming to have taken the heartthrob's virginity backstage at his show via unprotected sex--which resulted in the aforementioned child. (Way to rain on that whole "perfect boyfriend" image, girl).

Of course, the Biebs is denying the claims, stating that he's not only never had sex with Yeater--but he's never even met her.

To that we say, chin up, Beliebers. Yeater isn't the first girl to cry "baby daddy." From Elvis to Marc Anthony, music has had a long, sordid history of (mostly false) baby daddy claims. Find out who else is on the list after the jump.

Today the City of West Hollywood will declare August 18, 2011 Motley Crue Day, and honor the original partying hair metal band as the 2011 recipients of the "Elmer Valentine Award" for their contributions to the history of The Sunset Strip.

The award ceremony at the House of Blues will kick off the fourth annual Sunset Strip Music Festival that will go on for three days, through Saturday, August 20, 2011.

"It will be an honor to recognize the 'Saints of Los Angeles' in our hometown and thank them for the incredible contribution they made to hard rock, glam and Southern California music," Duran adds.

​UPDATE, AUGUST 11, 2011, 1:03 P.M.: Within a matter of seconds, not even a minute, the tickets to the Green Day show sold out. Bummer! But don't feel bad if you didn't get a ticket, you're not alone. Many fans are upset too, and they're venting their anger on the band's Facebook page. "This was bullshit," Westminster resident and Green Day fan Zach Hammill wrote commented on the last status uptdate. "As a long time SoCal fan, I'm pretty upset. I was on top of that. I was refreshing my page every .0001 seconds. As soon as the button appeared, I clicked it, put in the code, and still got screwed. I type 74 words per minute." More >>

​First the DigiTour, and now Rebecca Black is going to be at the MTV O Awards. Why does the world keep proving the Onion right again and again?

As you all know, "Friday" has racked up more than 122 million views on YouTube. This is apparently enough to merit an appearance on MTV's inaugural O Awards on Thursday.

The O Awards will stream live online at Omusicawards.com  at 8 p.m. to "celebrate and honor the artists, fans, web celebrities and innovators impacting digital music culture," said MTV spokesman Kurt Patat in an e-mail to the OC Register.

​UPDATE, FEB. 21, 2:39 P.M.: We've been alerted that this could all be a hoax. South Florida Gay News (SFGN) reports that the poll--shared last week by The Washington Post, Toronto Sun, celebrity news sites and (yup) us--is fake, a made-up story by Examiner.com. SFGN writes that they "discovered no proof that there is an Orange County Equality Project located in Southern California." (So Britney isn't really the greatest gay icon? Gasp!) Though a shoddily made website called the Orange County Equality Project, which has archives that date back to, um, February 2011, claims the organization and the poll are very real, we're contacting the mentioned sources.

ORIGINAL POST, FEB. 16, 2:53 P.M.: Sorry, Liza, Cyndi, Elton, Madge, Bea, NPH, Ellen, Gaga and Janet.
 
The Greatest Gay Icon of All Time, according to a poll by the Orange County Equality Project, is Britney Spears.
