That special Sunday when you run around to 15 different grocery stores desperately searching for a bouquet of flowers that isn't completely dead because you totally forgot what day it was (And, if you're like me, the day that you dread Every. Single. Year. because inevitably your mom will cry about what a disappointment you are.). So, in honour of this special day, we've compiled a list of the hottest musician moms. You will notice, of course,... http://blog.muchmusic.com/archives/2008/05/hotcakes_our_mo_1.php http://blog.muchmusic.com/archives/2008/05/hotcakes_our_mo_1.php Celebrities & Pop Culture Fri, 09 May 2008 09:14:19 -0500 * RollingStone.com has posted some exclusive pics from the Radiohead Tour which launched in West Palm Beach, Florida earlier this week. * Fergie trips.

Although this works well for these big, established acts, one singer has come forth and voiced his concerns. Alexis Taylor, lead signer of Hot Chip, recently told BBC Newsbeat that giving away music for free hurts smaller bands and the music industry in... http://blog.muchmusic.com/archives/2008/05/hot_chip_questi.php http://blog.muchmusic.com/archives/2008/05/hot_chip_questi.php Celebrities & Pop Culture Thu, 08 May 2008 18:24:30 -0500 And the winner is...Rihanna's Take A Bow. After watching this vid, I would never mess with Rihanna. I mean, seriously. That look she gives to the camera is so fierce, it cuts right through your soul and judges you for everything you've ever done wrong. Like the time you broke your mother's vase because you played catch in the living room and then glued it all together so nobody would notice. The thought of being on the receiving end... http://blog.muchmusic.com/archives/2008/05/video_of_the_we_1.php http://blog.muchmusic.com/archives/2008/05/video_of_the_we_1.php Music & Videos Thu, 08 May 2008 17:12:23 -0500 Her Madgesty, Madonna, has finally announced her tour plans for Hard Candy, which in case you didn't already know, debuted at #1 in 27 countries last week.
