What does Orpah Winfrey have? The entire decade. The fact that Oprah has decided to end her ...

Posted Dec 9th 2009 at 04:15 PM by PopEater Staff
Popular music is tough to define, besides the obvious qualifications: Does the song have mass appeal? Are people talking about it? Is the track glossy and polished? Does your mom tap her feet to it? Answer "yes" to at least three of these and you've got yourself a pop song. As the 00's winds down, we're in a nostalgic mood and looking back at the decade's best pop artists, from Britney to Beyonce. ...

The ethics are murky. It seems okay to reproduce a famous dead person for artistic ...

The Top Pop Songs of the Decade - 2000s
Posted Nov 24th 2009 at 07:20 AM by PopEater Staff
While we can't wait to get this decade over with, one thing that will be missed is the music. The summer songs. The bangin' club hits. The unexpected cross-overs from one genre to the next. Holdovers from the '90s like Britney and Justin grew up and delivered, and we got to help create new stars like Kelly Clarkson and resurrect old ones like Kylie Minogue. It wasn't all great ('PopoZão,' ...

Posted Nov 6th 2009 at 05:00 PM by Laura Ferreiro
Those synchronized dance moves, color-coordinated outfits, four-part harmonies and emotive solos -- who does them better than boy bands? With the Backstreet Boys (photo, left) in the midst of a "comeback" tour and Robbie Williams' recent announcement that he plans to perform again with Take That (photo, right), we thought it only fitting to find out what their contemporary boy bands have been up ...

This is Independence Day!" one of them says of the by-now familiar site of giant spaceships hovering in the sky.

Your Favorite Movies in Lego Videos
Posted Oct 24th 2009 at 11:25 AM by Scott Harris
One general rule of thumb that is apparent even to young children is this: anything that can be done can be done better with Legos. And what's true for toys is proving to be equally true for pop culture and the internet, with ever more elaborate renditions of movies, songs and TV shows appearing constantly in an attempt to harness the magic power of those delightful little blocks.
