Late night television, not traditionally considered a safe haven for conservative guests, just got quite a bit less inviting. Monday night, GOP presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann appeared on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," where Mr. Fallon's house band The Roots sent a rather pointed message with their choice of introductory music: Fishbone's 1985 song "Lyin' Ass Bitch." The song's about as flattering as the title would indicate, a bitter tirade directed toward a philandering woman. Even though the song contains no explicitly political message, the title alone leaves little doubt where at least The Roots stand on the subject of Mrs. Bachmann.

Those lyrics just need some musical accompaniment. But when the songwriter tells his life story in book form, the process can be just as therapeutic. So says Rick Springfield. I was very nervous to have it out, the singer-songwriter/actor said in a recent interview. But Im human. Theres a story in there and, hopefully, some form of resolution. It was a good thing to write it. His memoir Late, Late at Night was released in late 2010 and in paperback last summer. The brutally honest book tells the story of his Australian chil...

Occupy protesters appear at Mall of America book-signing BLOOMINGTON, Minn. -- Local police and Mall of America security kept close watch Friday on anti-Wall Street protesters who bought copies of Michele Bachmann's memoir so they could approach the hometown presidential candidate during a book-signing. No arrests or major disruptions were reported during the roughly two hours Bachmann was signing her "Core of Conviction" autobiography in a sequestered area of the megamall.

Yankovic says that Chamillionaire has attributed some of the success of "Ridin' " to his parody song. "[Chamillionaire] said that the 'White & Nerdy' parody made his song such an undeniably big hit that they basically had to give him the Grammy," Yankovic says. "He really looks at the 'Weird Al' parody as a sign that he has made it. He's got his platinum album. He's got his Grammy. And he's got his 'Weird Al' parody. So, it's like he has the whole trifecta. Thankfully, there was also "Weird Al" Yankovic, a musician who parodied the work of his pop music peers. His 1985 song "Like a Surgeon" took aim at Madonna's "Like a Virgin" with the ridiculous chorus: "Like a surgeon/ Cutting for the very first time." Yankovic's 1988 hit "I'm Fat"-a play on [Michael Jackson]'s "Bad"-features li...
