Razzie Awards: Bullock wins worst actress, 'Transformers' takes worst picture

The information isn't new, so the innovation here is crime-depiction technology. In each episode, forensic animation illustrates how a celebrity died.

Back when VH1 launched its "Behind the Music" series of rock documentaries in 1997, there were still musicians missing in action, stories left to excavate.

Year Long Disaster's bright future

The hard-driving L.A. band -- led by Kinks kid Daniel Davies -- has a new album out this week, plus a free show at the Troubadour.

Daniel Davies needs to drive. It's his preferred way back to Los Angeles after a tour leading the band Year Long Disaster, behind the wheel of his 1996 green van, sometimes driving alone, sometimes in silence, or cranking up the satellite radio for hours of music and basketball. He can get across the country in just three days, while the rest of his hard rock trio flies comfortably back home.
