The ourpouring of grief since the death of Beastie Boy Adam “MCA” Yauch has taken many forms; from the Mets players using the Beastie Boys as their walk on music, to the Red Hot Chili Peppers playing instrumental covers at their recent Newark, N.J. show. However, the altered appearance of some urban spaces suggests that the grieving and urge to pay tribute to the hip hop legend are communal, even global in scale.  A fitting street art homage to Yauch appeared in the seaside town of Brighton, England last weekend. Painted by AROE MSK of the Heavy Artillery crew, the epic 12 foot high and 64 foot long mural reproduces the cover of the Beastie Boys’ 1986 seminal debut Licensed to Ill.  The mural follows Team Entrée’s “Gratitude” tribute to Yauch in Midwood, Brooklyn last week.

New York Magazine’s Vulture notes that Hill has some qualities that make for “the perfect ‘SNL’ host,” namely his comedy experience and the fact that he’s hosted before.

Given those attributes, Vulture can’t figure out why Hill’s second time at bat for “SNL,” which included sketches about the Oscars, a Japanese game show and a parody of Rush Limbaugh, was “so blah.”

The Huffington Post agrees, saying that Hill’s turn as host was “off.” Not “‘Lindsay Lohan’ off,” mind you, but there was something amiss nonetheless, leading to not a single “must-see” sketch.

Entertainment Weekly adds that while Hill’s performance wasn’t the worst, it just might’ve benefited from having the Lohan episode on the week prior. Read full artilce…

Controversial documentary “Bully” has finally been premiered in Hollywood on Monday night, March 26. The special screening event taking place at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre was supported by a number of familiar celebrities, including Victoria Justice, Joel McHale and Wilmer Valderrama.

The “Victorious” star opted to go with a casual look in a striped blazer that she paired with a pink shirt and denims. In a red carpet interview with E! News, the brunette beauty showed her support to the film as saying, “When I saw this movie, I was so emotional, I was so moved and I just wanted to give all the kids a huge hug because they shouldn’t have to go through this and it’s not acceptable.”

McHale, meanwhile, looked more formal in a sleek suit.

Music and technology have met once again in this new video from Los Angeles singer-songwriter Isaac Simons. He reached out to his fans to help him create the music video for his new single, “Call to Arms,” and they did so through a game you have probably played with your friends. You know the immensely popular Pictionary-esque app Draw Something? Well, Simons used more than 50 fan-made pictures from the game to make the “Call to Arms” visuals, which you can watch below. It’s pretty damn clever, though I’m not too excited about how many more of these we’ll be seeing in the next week.
