Big headlines this week were about gun control, a massive stabbing rampage on a college campus and possible nuclear war from North Korea. Yet in the middle of all of that, I still saw headlines about Justin Beiber cutting his hair like Skrillex and Rihanna, Taylor Swift no longer wearing eye liner and Ray J dropping a new track called "I Hit It First" - a total diss to both Kanye West and his baby bump mama Kim K. Let's not forget Louis Anderson is out from the show Splash (what knuckle head tv exec came up with this idea). Plus, it was an emotional week on DWTS and we all want to know is Mariah Carey to soft? Will Nicki Minaj be back? Ahh!!! Isn't it great to know that no matter what serious things are going on in the world…America will always have it's guilty pleasures. What do you think? Join the conversation on Facebook, Twitter and let me know.

What really matters to me is my family, friends, music and all of the above. You see I'm a news junkie. The bad, the good and the ugly. And when the events of the day are bad, it's nice to lose yourself in the superfluous. Another thing I can always lose myself in is the groove, and man did I get lost this week. I've got a bevy of sonic gems ready to bust out this weekend.
