• Is your daughter worth $130K?

  Dear every-other-weekend dads, There's this really awesome show on the Disney Channel where the fruit of achy-breaky Billy Ray Cyrus's loins, Miley Cyrus, plays secret pop star Hannah Montana. Though I'm not quite sure how this works, real Miley and pretend Hannah are sharing the bill in a concert tour that stops at the Honda Center in Anaheim this Saturday. Sounds worth at least $10 a ticket, right? But Miley/Hannah is super popular, and much to the chagrin of loving parents like yourself (a

• Coachella, Stagecoach Dates Announced

  Goldenvoice announced today that next year’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival - the world famous annual haven of indie rock, electronic music and sweating at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio - will take place Friday, April 17, Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19. Yes, that's the third weekend in April, not the fourth weekend like it's always been in the past. OK, sure, it was the first weekend of May in 2004, but close enough. And in 1999 it was in October, but that was the show's fi

• Hitsville: The Year in Music, by the Numbers

  You don't need a half-wit music critic to tell you it's been a remarkable year for America, one historians will be discussing and researching for centuries to come. War, financial collapse, politics, technology: All have been dinner-table topics for many Americans. Racial barriers in 2008 were demolished by a Midwestern black man, and gender barriers were hurdled by an Arkansan and an Alaskan.Democracy has a few awesome new dance moves rolling into the Obama presidency, and it'll be a feast f

• Nixon Apologist Remembers Bill Hicks' Ultimate Letterman Snub

  Following Friday night's airing, 15 years after the fact, of Bill Hicks' 12th appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman, which was originally censored by the host himself that October 1993 night, a touching remembrance of the late, great, politically charged comedian comes from an unlikely source: a Richard Nixon apologist.OK, to be fair, Frank Gannon is much more than a Nixon apologist. He is a frequent contributor to the New Yorker's "Shouts and Murmurs" and the New York Times Magazine'

• Proof that Organic is Better: The Curious Case of Chipotle

  Part One of a five-part series this week on tacos, burritos, and salsas...sorry, hungrymomma!Us editorial Weeklings always steal food whenever the paper's ad side order mass lunches during a special issue sales push, whether Best of, Summer Guide, or some other such blockbuster. Sometimes, the chow impresses, like whenever they choose Philly's Best; other times, not so much. Especially whenever it was Chipotle, which I came to loathe like few other chains. It wasn't a question of authenticity; I

• Dishney: Tweets from the Park

  Flickr user Donabel and EwenWhoa there.It's Disneyland's 54th birthday today--and none more appropriate of a day for our weekly roundup of some of the best--and the worst--tweets from the park that's only sometimes the happiest place on earth. There's plenty of the usual complain-y too-crowded, too-pricey tweets but the one from Twitter user totemototem takes the cake with his link to the above photo of the Little Mermaid outgrowing her little shell bra at the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con. Awkward.

• Incoming: Miley Cyrus Coming to Honda Center

  It's Miley!!(Note to self: Do not Google image search Miley Cyrus at work. Or anywhere. You won't feel great about yourself afterwards.)Destiny Hope Cyrus, the 16-year-old phenom better known as Miley Cyrus better known as TV alter ego Hannah Montana, is coming to the Honda Center in Anaheim on Sept. 23. Surely huge news for our target demographic.This is already a big week for Cyrus--what with winning a prestigious MTV Movie Award for best song from a movie (or whatever they might call that awa

• Dishney: D23 Full Schedule Revealed!

  ​How much do you like Disney? Annual Passport holder? Fine. But are you dedicated? Or rather: Are you 23? Like we discussed previously, the first ever d23 Expo is coming to town September 10-13. It's four whole days dedicated to all things Disneyana at the Anaheim Convention Center. The schedule for the event has recently been announced and even for an admitted closet Disney fanatic, it seems pretty promising. Thursday's highlights brings us speaker and CEO of the Walt Disney Company Bob Iger

• Five Ridiculous Pieces of 'Hannah Montana' Merchandise

  ​Popular kids shows inevitably produce a bucketload of unnecessary licensed junk. What child of the '80s didn't eat grocery store birthday cake off of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-adorned paper plate at some point in his or her life? But ever since Hannah Montana premiered on the Disney Channel on March 2006, the show's preteen fans have faced an unending onslaught of merchandise that happen to have a slapped-on logo. Some make sense (dolls, t-shirts, DVDs), while others proudly push the lim

• Miley Cyrus in Anaheim Tomorrow, Next Stop...Hell?

  Miley Cyrus is really popular. Hit songs, hit movie, hit TV shows, she even "wrote" a "book." But not everyone is quite so enthralled with the teen pop star/country singer/actress/author/maker of somewhat questionable career decisions. Like these folks, who protested outside her show in San Jose on Sunday.

• Kanye West: Not Dead!

  ​First Zach Braff, now this? Yeah, as we type, right now the top two trending topics on Twitter are "RIP Kanye West" and "#LongLiveYeezy." Don't be fooled; this is another sad sign that the "microblogging" site is, as I've spent so long denying, sometimes kind of dumb. Or actually harmful. The infamously self-obsessed yet undeniably talented rapper is, as far as anyone can tell, most definitely still alive, probably at home writing something in all caps right now.Misinformation tends to spread
