“There for Tomorrow” is a band from Orlando Florida that formed in 2003 at a time when all of its members were teenagers. They combine alternative rock with a hardcore music sound that includes adrenaline filled lyrics. Originally named “The Kick Off,” the band consists of members Maika Maile, Christian Climer, Jay Enriquez, and Chris Kamrada. The band’s debut album “Point of Origin” was released in 2004 and they began playing local radio station showcase concerts, which led to stints on the southeastern leg of the Vans Warped Tour in 2006 and 2007, attracting the attention of the alternative rock label Hopeless Records. Their self titled EP released in 2008 featured the first single “No More Room to Breathe,” and they won the “MTVU Woodie Award” for breakout artist of the year just three months later. “A Little Faster,” There for Tomorrow’s debut full-length album on Hopeless Records, was released in June and features the single by the same name. You can watch the video for “A Little Faster” above.

One of Miley Cyrus’ tour buses was part of a deadly crash that took place this morning in Virginia on I-85 just outside of Richmond, leaving the driver dead and nine others with minor injuries. Cyrus and her tour were in a 4-vehicle caravan when one of the buses overturned. Police are not yet sure if the driver died prior to the crash, prompting the bus to flip, or died as a result of the crash. Miley was reportedly not on board the bus during the crash.
Miley’s manager tell us, “It was one of our tour buses, but not Miley’s. It was one of our buses that transported our lighting crew.”
The bus carrying Miley’s 14 member concert production crew is the bus believed to be the one she usually travels in. Officials say the road was still wet from overnight rain, and a man at the scene claims the bus appears to have drifted off the road for a long distance before finally flipping over, sliding into a ditch. According to Cyrus’s website, she is scheduled to perform in Greensboro, NC on Sunday. No word if that will still be happening. More details on the crash are still pending.
This sounds just awful. Our condolences to the family of the deceased as well as everyone else affected.

Honey, who doesn’t? Rihanna flapped her jaw on her “Domestic Abuse is Bad, BUY MY NEW ALBUM” press tour and revealed a little too much.
In an interview Bravo (German mag, not the network responsible for the greatness of Top Chef), the ‘Russian Roulette’ singer talked about the fact that you must be big enough to ride her love roller-coaster.
“He has to be good in bed and the size matters. You know what I mean? The inner beauty counts as well, but without a toy it doesn’t make it fun. Right now I don’t want to have a serious relationship, I want to have fun. I love flirting at the moment. I’m single and I’m enjoying my freedom. But I don´t give my phone number out that often. But if I’m dating, I check the boy from the top to the bottom.”
Really? Correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t she make sexy times with Shia LaBeouf or at least booty text him? I guess one can’t help but be envious of those shopping in the Tommy Lee section when you are shopping in the Shia LaBeouf half off sale.
Matt Dragstrem, an up-and-coming songwriter, is rapidly gaining recognition with his melodic songs paired with simplistic, yet compelling lyrics. He has just released a behind the scenes video from his most recent tour throughout the Chicago and Nashville areas, showcasing his love of music. When asked to describe how he feels his music sounds, Matt thinks its if Tom Petty and Rod Stewart had a child and Frank Sinatra was the Godfather.’ Being deemed as an audience favorite and hailed as the new talent in town to write with by respected Nashville songwriters, Matt currently is in the process of recording for his upcoming full-length album, after receiving great reviews on the release of his EP “Heritage.”
“With an impending debut EP set for release in the coming weeks, Matt Dragstrem stands at the forefront of something potentially very special. Inspired by folk-rock greats of the past, Dragstrem seems to have inherited the best elements of his heroes work before moulding them into a sound of purity and innocence all his own. Born in Chicago, Dragstrem underwent a musical education whilst developing his talent in Nashville some years later. His subtle, dulcet vocal style favours the playful, finger-picking way he approaches his guitar work - similarities with a young, raw Rod Stewart aren’t too far wide of the mark. At only twenty-one years of age, Matt Dragstrem possesses a future of immeasurable promise.” -JOEL CRANE (NME, Q, Mojo)
The video above proves that Matt is so much more than a pretty face and an unstoppable personality, but a genre-defying voice whose unique quality finds a comfortable spot in any style of music. Keep an eye on this one, kiddos. He’s sure to become a household name in no time.

Neil Patrick HarrisTwittered his happiness with his current ‘How I Met Your Mother’ guest star. TIM GUNN!!!
“On set. Best guest star EVER! The entire cast/crew was super stoked. No one more than me.”
Who doesn’t love Tim Gunn? He is like that gay uncle that will help you convince your mother that you absolutely need that tattoo you already have, slip you schnapps at holidays and share the last crescent roll with you as you watch the bitchfest of aunts arguing over the Target ads and cousins fighting over who was the true kung fu master, Jackie Chan or Jet Li.

**Spoiler ALERT** (Sorry kittens!) In what some critics are deeming the worst season of Project Runway, the antagonist won. Irina was named the winner of the dullest season ever. Althea Harper, Irina Shabayeva and Carol Hannah Whitfield were the final three in the competition that led to Bryant Park.
If you failed to catch this season, you didn’t miss much. There was they cryer: Christopher, the token straight man (who bared an uncanny resemblance to Dr. Chase on House): Logan, the bitch: Mean-a Irina (who spent most of her time accusing people of stealing her ideas), and the one you were pulling for: Carol Hannah. Despite the move to L.A. and the opportunity to refresh a stale theme, the show was exactly the same. Right down to the low budget soft core porn music that played while the judging went on.
Carol Hannah might have been robbed of the title, but Irina couldn’t care less. She and her ALL black collection won the $100K and bragging rights she desperately wanted. Along with her spoils, model Kalyn Hemphill nabbed the winners spot for Models of the Runway.
Season 7 will return in just a few short WEEKS. January 14th will bring in a new season of Project Runway.
Back in January of 2008, Oprah announced she was launching OWN - The Oprah Winfrey Network. It was widely expected that the TV talk queen would stop doing her syndicated program in September 2011 to focus on the cable network. Sources said that the Oprah Winfrey Show would not move to OWN.
If Oprah does indeed retire her show another matter of who or what will take her place will be buzzing around soon. Ellen DeGeneres will certainly have a corner on the market.
UPDATE:
Tim Bennett, president of HARPO, has CONFIRMED that Oprah will be making the announcement tomorrow that the show will end in 2011.
“Tomorrow, Oprah will announce live on ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ that she has decided to end what is arguably one of the most popular, influential and enduring programs in television history. The sun will set on the “Oprah” show as its 25th season draws to a close on September 9, 2011.”
Yours truly will be hiding in a bomb shelter and living on vodka and Kashi for the next few days until the shrieks of homemakers every where turn to gentle sobs.

Our favorite Sparkly Vampire has a lot more going for him than being apart of the Cullen brood. Here is the official trailer for Robert Pattinsons’ next movie “Remember Me,” a drama centered around Pattinson playing a young man whose brother’s suicide has split up his parents and leaves him sleepwalking through life, and Emilie de Ravin playing a young woman who seizes life by the moment after watching her mother getting killed before her eyes, trying to cope with their respective family tragedies while their newfound love is being threatened. The movie is due to hit theaters in March.
