A moody new acoustic release by an East Nashville staple, a smoldering torch song from a rockabilly ingenue and a personal love song from a rising pop-country artist make up the tracks you must hear this week.
Bob Lewis, “All My Sins”
With guests ranging from Aaron Lee Tasjan to Jamie Kent, songwriter Bob Lewis’s new album End of an Error feels like a lo-fi love letter postmarked from somewhere deep within the East Nashville Americana underground. He gets pensive with the acoustic “All My Sins,” where he traces...

Playing diner owner Han Lee on the ribald 2 Broke Girls, Matthew Moy has one very memorable role on the CBS comedy. That’s mostly because the show’s creators have been criticized for making Han one big stereotype after another: The character speaks with a heavy accent, often doesn’t understand American slang and turns of phrases, and is regularly made fun of for his small stature and clueless nature.
Behind the silly role, however, is Matthew Moy, an actor who, truly, couldn’t be further from who he plays on TV. Moy is very clued into pop culture, which...

Twice as many babies! All the babies! Well, maybe not all of them, but today’s news definitely has more than we’d expected. Probably feeling the exact same way (or so we’d assume) is True Blood stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, who, two months after announcing their pregnancy, revealed that they’re expecting twins this fall. Also doubling up on baby news is Kings of Leon: drummer Nathan Followill, piggybacking on the arrival of brother and bandmate Caleb‘s brand-new daughter Dixie Pearl last week, announced his wife Jessie Baylin‘s pregnancy on Twitter. “I’m beyond excited/anxious. Life is beautiful,” Nathan tweeted ecstatically.

Scarlett Johansson and Jessie Baylin have been friends for a long time -- they attended New York's Professional Children's Chool together, so it isn't all that surprising that the singer-songwriter would jump at the chance to have Johansson direct the video for her latest single, "Hurry Hurry."
"One of the greatest gifts of growing up with Jessie has been watching her develop as a musician," says Johansson in a press release.
The video was shot in one take on New York's Manhattan Bridge. Baylin's song -- think Beach Boys meets Amy Winehouse/Adele -- is whimsical and the video has a surreal-like vibe to it with some trippy added special effects.
"This song has a dreamy Brian Wilson sort of feel," says Johansson. "I wanted to build on that and allow the video to carry on dreamily and use the changing tone and Jessie's expression to match the vibe of the melody.

Kings of Leon singer Caleb Followill says he doesn't know the exact date of his wedding, but he seems certain that he will marry his Victoria's Secret model fiancée Lily Aldridge in May. "You have to ask Lily [about the wedding date]. She won't tell me. I think it's somewhere between May 10 and May 20, but she won't tell me because I have a big mouth," Caleb told People recently at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of his band's documentary, Talihina Nights: The Story of Kings of Leon. Caleb's bandmate brothers Nathan and Jared Followill, however, are more forthcoming when it comes to the specifics of the wedding.

On an entirely selfish level, we’re thinking dammit! But on another unselfish, peace-and-love note (yes, we Are capable of those), this is great news. The Kings of Leon lead singer Caleb Followill has popped the question to his model girlfriend, Lily Aldridge. And lest you think it’s a rumor, we’re sorry to inform you that his rep confirmed the news. Lily appeared in the video for Use Somebody, and they’ve been together for two years. And Fyi, Caleb’s brother and bandmate (he’s the drummer) Nathan Followill got married to singer Jessie Baylin last year. Which means they’re dropping one by one. Sigh. So we don’t know what the date of the wedding is, but what we do know is when their next album, Come Around Sundown is releasing, and that’s on October 19. Caleb and Lily plan to get hitched after that,...

It's a sad day for the female fans of Kings Of Leon. Lead singer Caleb Followill is officially one step closer to being a married man. It seems he put a ring on it when he asked his girlfriend of two years, Lily Aldridge, to marry him.
His rep confirmed the engagement to People.com. Aldridge appeared in the band's "Use Somebody" music video. Followill is the latest Kings of Leon member to make plans to get hitched. Bandmate Nathan Followill got married last November to singer Jessie Baylin in an outdoor ceremony in Brentwood, Tennessee.
While it appears that Caleb has been relatively mum about his love life, Nathan has been candid about the band's less-than-discerning views on love prior to their committed relationships.
