Kings of Leon recently released their ninth studio album, Can We Please Have Fun, a sprawling self-interrogation that ushers the band into a new phase of their artistry more than two decades into their career. The process of creating the album gifted the quartet with a newfound sense of clarity. It wasn’t just that they understood themselves on a deeper, lyrical level, they also learned that they could experience those same breakthroughs as creative directors of their visual output, as well.

“Seen,” the final song on the album but...

Congrats to Nathan Followill!

The Kings of Leon rocker is expecting his second child with wife Jessie Baylin, he announced on Instagram on Wednesday.

“No thanksgiving pregnant stress here at all,” Followill captioned a photo of his pregnant wife. “#Turkeyme #babyme #wineme.”

The couple are already parents to daughter Violet, who was born in December 2012 -- and judging by Followill's Instagram, she's already following in his drumming footsteps.

The Kings of Leon crew keeps expanding. See more on the band in the video below.

There is a fine line between showmanship and posturing, and Kings of Leon sometimes find themselves slipping too far towards the latter. The Tennessee band, currently finishing a headlining run in support of 2013's tepid effort Mechanical Bull, has evolved from a homegrown Southern rock outfit to a radio-ready act, aiming for different sorts of accolades than when they first started. So at times during Kol’s concert at the Hollywood Bowl Friday night there was a sense of dramatic posing, like when guitarist Matthew Followill performed much of “Closer” with his guitar strings in his mouth as Jared Followill

The Nashville rockers performed a new song entitled "Always the Same" (though that name has yet to be officially confirmed by the band) at the BottleRock music festival in Napa Valley on Saturday evening, giving fans a taste of what's to come on their upcoming sixth LP that's expected for release in September (at least according to bassist/keyboardist Jared Followill). A heavy, fast-paced affair, the hook-laden tune is an energizing blast of radio-friendly rock boasting such lyrics as "I'm not a man,...

Kings Of Leon are eyeing a September release of their new album.

Looks like Twilight's Ashley Greene may have found herself a new man--in Ryan Phillippe! The two actors were recently spotted grabbing dinner together at Craig's Restaurant in West Hollywood, California March 20.

Usually we would suspect the two just meeting for a possible upcoming film, but the two may have given each other away when they decided to head home separately. Greene, 26, and Phillippe, 38, even went as far as trying to not be seen by photographers all together.

Greene's past flames include Joe Jonas and a possible fling with Kings of Leon's Jared Followill, while Phillippe recently dated Amanda Seyfried and welcomed a daughter with ex Alexis Knapp in July 2011.

Today in fun Twitter jokes: Kings of Leon bassist Jared Followill took to social media to admit that he was simply too intoxicated to continue work on the band's upcoming album.

The series of tweets make nice reading for fans of the band, as they eagerly await the band's forthcoming six studio album -- the first since 2010's "Come Around the Sundown."

Followill, who told a curious fan that he normally drinks "between seven and eight days" a week, seemed amused by his own inebriation, remarking that his Twitter drafts were chock full of potential goodies.

And this concludes another episode of Peep the Tweets.

The world has gone on spinning just fine without a new Kings Of Leon album but we're getting one soon whether we like it or not… just as soon as bassist Jared Followill sobers up, that is. As documented by a handful of tweets last night:

Just tried for a sequence to the new album. Very exciting stuff. I can't quite nail it down due to the being too drunk. #Tomorrow

Followill, who prefaced his new album update by tweeting "Wine isn't for everyone, but it is definitely for me," wasn't too drunk to come up with this gem:

I can't believe there hasn't been a scene in a movie with a dude playing drums on his steering wheel so hard his airbag pops out.

…Or to ponder:

My "drafts" on twitter should be titled "drunk thoughts you might tweet tomorrow if they're not too offensive".

It's over for Ashley Greene and Reeve Carney. Us Weekly reports that the "Twilight" actress and the Broadway actor have gone their separate ways after 10 months of dating.

The relationship suffered from each person's increasingly demanding schedule, the magazine claims. They are "crazy with their schedule," one source told the publication. Another told the rag that "[Greene] knows this is a pivotal time in her career. I wouldn't say I could never see them getting back together but right now they are doing their own thing."

Carney, 29, appears as the star in the hit rock musical, "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark." Greene, 25, is currently on a promotional tour for the franchise finale of the "Twilight" saga, "Breaking Dawn - Part 2."

Greene, who has previously dated musicians Joe Jonas and Kings of Leon bassist Jared Followill, told Marie Clarie in its November issue that she didn't have enough time for romance. "You...

Kings Of Leon have confirmed that they are working on their sixth studio album. The band promised fans that the follow-up to 2010's Come Around Sundown will be released "sooner rather than later".

"We'll definitely get into the studio but you know we have no plans of finishing it this year but definitely early next year, so I think people should expect something from us sooner rather (more)...

'Sex on Fire' singers Kings of Leon have taken on the world music scene and won.

Their fourth studio album, 'Only By The Night', released in 2008, became the UK's third-biggest-selling album of 2008 and went platinum in the Us.

The band have sold over 11 million records worldwide and in 2010 they scooped Grammy Awards for Record of the Year, Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Rock Song for 'Use Somebody'.

Now, bassist Jared Followill has taken some time out from working with his family to record an Ep with Nick Brown of Mona, under the band name of Smoke & Jackal.

"Coming together just worked," says Followill. "I think it's because we took such an easy approach to it, we didn't bring any egos to it. We just talked about each other's ideas, neither one of us got our feelings hurt. It just worked."
