Reading Rainbow Remix: LeVar Burton Auto-Tuned!

PBS has released a remixed Reading Rainbow video montage, and it’s as awesome as it sounds. The show, starring LeVar Burton, aired for 30 years and is still teaching kids each year how to read, through reruns and a 2012 digital re-launch as an iPad app. Host and producer Burton picked a different theme each week – maps, inventions, etc. – and go from there. The hip Reading Rainbow remix pays homage to him: Reading Rainbow Remix The latest in a series of remixed PBS icons was produced by Symphony of Science’s John D. Boswell (a.k.a., melodysheep) for the PBS Digital Studios YouTube channel. Earlier this year, they produced a similarly unreal Mister Rogers remix .

Jack White Slams Lady Gaga: All Image, No Talent!

Jack White is not impressed by Lady Gaga. The singer gave an interview with Esquire UK i n which he described Mother Monster’s music in less than flattering terms. Basically, he says it’s all very superficial. “You can’t sink your teeth into it,” he added. “It’s a sound bite.” “It’s very much of this age, because that’s what people want.” “I don’t think she lives it because it’s all artifice,” he adds. The 37-year-old rocker of The White Stripes fame then mused that the “goal of modern celebrity is to make yourself into the lowest common denominator.” Ouch . Do you agree with Jack’s assessment of Gaga?   Yup. All style, no substance. No. Gaga’s actually good! View Poll »

Chris Brown Tweets Again, Promises "Fresh Start"

After more than a week of Twitter silence following his vulgar exchange with Jenny Johnson , Chris Brown returned to the social media site on a positive note last night. As he reintroduced himself to his 11 million followers, there wasn’t a negative word to be found. “#CarpeDiem,” Brown tweeted, then posted again later, “Time to start fresh. #newchapter.” A positive message and one we hope sticks. Of course, he still knows how to generate buzz, as evidenced by the Chris Brown smoking three joints on Instagram. For “medicinal” purposes, he wrote from Amsterdam, where marijuana is legal. From his NSFW Instagram handle (@F–kyopictures) to posting photos of himself with a half- nude Rihanna , you never know when Chris will spark controversy next. All we know is that Team Breezy will have his back every step of the way. Are you on Chris Brown’s team?   Yes! Team Breezy! No! He’s not very nice. View Poll »
