Casting Call For Nirvana's 'Smell Like Teen...
The music video for “Smells Like Teen Spirit” was based on the concept of a school concert which ends in anarchy and riot. Filmed on a soundstage in Culver City, the video featured the band playing at a pep rally in a high school gym to an audience of apathetic students on bleachers and cheerleaders wearing black dresses with the Circle-A anarchist symbol. The video ends with the...

Assange got his wish when he surrendered to British authorities Tuesday. He is charged with allegedly sexually assaulting two women during a lecture stop in Stockholm this August. The first court appearance...

As soon as the Jet Blue plane touched down at JFK, one of the women hopped up to grab her bag. Never mind that the fasten seatbelt sign was on. Never mind that flight attendant Steven Slater had...
