Artist: This Is the Now
Video: 'Famous for Nothing'
Highlight: "'Famous for Nothing' came out of living in L.A., where the entire culture is fame-obsessed, no matter what you do," lead singer and guitarist Tiger G tells Spinner. "And that mentality has spread seemingly everywhere. It's to the point where there's an idea out there that you don't have to work to actually be good at something, simply 'being yourself' is enough, which is obviously bulls---."

Thanks to TMZ, we now know that soon-to-be-divorcee Zooey Deschanel earns $95,000 a month, which resembles our salary in that it's an amount of dollars. Even though we don't care about the 'New Girl' star's finances, we started thinking about what she could possibly spend that on per month, if taxes and other expenditures weren't an issue. We even asked our 'Jersey Shore'-loving colleagues at HuffPost TV, the Benedict Cumberbatch fanboys at Moviefone and the Michele Bachmann historians at HuffPost Comedy. Using a wristwatch calculator without checking our math, here's what we came up with:

- 12.9% of this huge tuna.

- 9,500 Buddy the Elf sippy cups.

- Like, so much Taco Bell.

- 9,547 1-year subscriptions to Vibe.

- 902 dancing cat dolls that connect to your iPod.

Robert Dickey, a singer/guitarist best known for his work on the Bobby and James Purify top ten single 'I'm Your Puppet,' died Dec. 29 in Tallahassee, Fla. He was 72. According to the Associated Press, no cause of death was given.

After touring with the likes of Otis Redding, Dickey joined his cousin James Purify in the mid-1960s when producer Papa Don Schroeder brought the group to Fame studios to record their signature ballad 'I'm Your Puppet,' co-written by Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham.

The duo would also record 'Let Love Come Between Us' and their cover of the Five Du-Tones' 'Shake A Tail Feather' also became popular.

Muse's bruiser bassist Chris Wolstenholme and his wife Kelly have welcomed their sixth baby into the world. Early this morning (Jan. 5), the musician's daughter Teddi was born, just 14 months after Kelly delivered the couple's fifth child, Buster. As WENN reports, the six-time father took to Twitter to let fans know of what a proud dad he is.

Wolstenholme shared a picture of his 6-lb, 14-oz., baby girl. This past summer, Muse frontman Matt Bellamy and actress Kate Hudson also had a child of their own, Bingham "Bing" Hawn Bellamy. With all these kids running around the tour bus, perhaps Muse are already starting a new generation of rock 'n' rollers?

With the secrecy regarding releases and rare live performances adding to their heavily cultivated mystique, Toronto group the Weeknd appears ready to take its avant-R&B on the road.

As noted by Exclaim!, the outfit fronted by singer Abel Tesfaye took to its Facebook page Jan. 4 seeking musicians who are able to go out on tour and, presumably, survive the inevitable decadence that will ensue.

"The Weeknd is looking for a professional guitarist and bass player in or around the Toronto area to travel and perform live in concert," the post reads. Interested musicians are asked to provide their name, age and what instrument they play as well as pictures and performance footage. "Serious inquiries only please."

The search for musicians ends on Jan. 8 so don't wait to apply. Information should be sent to the group via email at theweekndband@gmail.com.

From Christina Aguilera to Roseanne, people have been screwing up 'The Star-Spangled Banner' for decades. That surely irks some Americans, but others really get really furious when performers alter words (like Steven Tyler's "Home of the Indianapolis 500!") or add in those extraneous melodic flourishes.

Besides creating YouTube fodder, all these reworkings have really ticked off one patriot in particular: Indiana state senator Vaneta Becker. How angry is she, you ask? Enough that she's proposing a bill to fine performers who mess with the national anthem.
