Beyonce and Lady Gaga get freaky--as in NSFW--in "Telephone" video. As my pal Sean Daly says, "Please don't get fired watching this."

Metallica still causing riots after all these years.

Highly talented (and sexy) Swedish singer Robyn to release three "mini-albums" this year.

Is it a "Today in Music News" without Lil Wayne? He's banned from signing autographs while doing time at Rikers.
