Sam Rivers, the jazz saxophonist who performed with legends like Miles Davis and Billie Holliday and was highly influential in the avant-garde scene, died on Monday, Dec. 26, from pneumonia in Orlando, Fla. He was 88.

Born into a family of musicians, Rivers played piano, soprano saxophone, flute and his main instrument, the tenor saxophone. Influenced by Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young, he toured with Holliday in the '50s and joined Davis' band when he moved to New York in 1964. That year, he performed on the live album, 'Miles in Tokyo,' and released his first solo album, the highly regarded 'Fuchsia Swing Song,' on Blue Note.

Lohan is opting to spend New Year's Eve at home with just a few close friends, perhaps going out to dinner beforehand.

Michael Lohan spoke with "Extra's" Jerry Penacoli, praising his daughter's progress. "In the frame of mind that she is now, she's getting back to the top of her game."

Van Halen has just confirmed that they'll be touring in 2012.

The legendary hard rockers revealed the news this morning via a video on their official site. It will be the first time Van Halen has toured together in five years. Although the exact dates have yet to be announced, the first batch of shows will go on sale on Jan. 10.

The footage featured in the tour's video teaser (seen below) was shot at The Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, Calif. last month. Van Halen currently features David Lee Roth (vocals), brothers Eddie (guitars) and Alex Van Halen (drums), along with Eddie's 20-year-old son Wolfgang Van Halen on bass.

Van Halen recently inked a deal with Interscope Records and will issue their 12th studio album with the label in 2012. No firm release date has been confirmed yet. It will be Roth's first album with the Southern California rockers since their landmark '1984' collection.

Ror Revisits: THE DARK KNIGHT

I'll start by saying that although I love this movie, I am not one of these people that believes it is the be all and end all, or that it is infallible. What Nolan and co do right renders what they do wrong pretty insignificant imo, but that doesn't mean the movie doesn't have it's share of problems - nor that I won't be discussing them. I won't, however, be going into the actual plot in too much detail as I'm fairly certain we all know the story. I'm also not going to be discussing the differences between the movie and the comics, how faithful it is etc. These things vary in how annoyed they make people, if they even bother em at all so I feel it's something best debated in the comments section. Like all CBMs not based on a specific graphic novel or story arc, TDK is a

A Rundown Of 2011's Spoilers For THE AVENGERS

Posted: 27 Dec 2011 05:09 AM PST

By : Mark Julian IS GWYNETH PALTROW IN THE AVENGERS? Rumors first began when Paltrow was spotted on the New Mexico set. No official confirmation was given from Marvel Studios but a recent report from an Indian Newspaper stating that actors Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone would be providing voice-over talents for Paltrow (Pepper Potts) and Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark), respectively. Now, we have even stronger confirmation from one of the stars of the film, Tom Hiddleston. When asked to quickly respond with 1-word answers to describe each of his Avengers co-stars, the good people over at Just Jared slipped in Paltrow's name and Hiddleston comically described her as "Mister". COULD TONY STARK'S SUITCASE ARMOR RETURN IN THE AVENGERS? In the same interview with Just Jared that provided the strongest evidence yet that Gwyneth Paltrow will indeed appear in the movie, Tom Hiddleston also gave an interesting answer when asked

Magazine Cover Outing Taylor Lautner is a Fake

Posted: 27 Dec 2011 09:39 AM PST

Somebody has too much time on his or her hands. A supposedly leaked cover of People magazine's January 7, 2012, issue outing Taylor Lautner is a complete fraud, according to Gossip Cop.

The cover, which features the "Twilight" hunk "out and proud," is "absolutely fake," a rep for the magazine told Gossip Cop.

The viral cover fooled a few celebrities, however, like Russell Simmons, who initially tweeted he was "proud of Taylor Lautner for his bravery and his courage."

When Simmons found out it was a hoax, he wrote he was "disappointed that people would joke about someone coming out about their sexuality. Let Taylor Lautner be whoever he wants to be..."

Lautner, 19, is no stranger to rumors, but he tries not to pay any attention to it. In November, he told Parade magazine, "It's definitely impossible to avoid stuff about me sometimes, but it's pretty important to try. It's very rare that things are true about yourself that are on the Internet. It's just sad sometimes. So you definitely want to stay away from it as much as possible."

Pearl Jam Replace Late Fan's Autographed Guitar After It Was Stolen

Pearl JamDanny Clinch

From the early battles with Ticketmaster to their almost absurd amounts of live albums, Pearl Jam have always proved they care about their fans. But what they did for one late fan's family this Christmas is among the kindest acts we've ever heard of a band doing.

In 1992, the band gave 17-year-old fan Josh Hardy a signed Fender guitar while he was dying of brain cancer. After he passed away, the guitar went to his younger brother, Ben, who's now 34. According to the Boston Herald, Ben was devastated earlier this month when the guitar was stolen from his home in Burlington, Vt. The axe was returned soon after, but all the autographs were scrubbed away in an effort to make the guitar unrecognizable.

Early Tuesday, Dec. 27, Florence and the Machine headed to London's famed department store Harrods for a bit of rock 'n' retail, performing two songs for the sale-seeking shoppers.

Singer Florence Welch donned a huge gray cape for the short set that included the tracks 'Shake It Out' and 'What the Water Gave Me,' both of which appear on her latest album, 'Ceremonials.' Welch also arrived at the event in style, hopping off a double-decker bus for the 9AM concert, the first time a rock group played the annual sale.

Check out video of her performance below, and head over to HuffPost Style for more picturees from the concert.
