• Filler video reaches new levels of irritation on 9News thanks to Bolt

  Channel 9 early birds saw a lot of the Bolt logo this morning. With TV news operations producing more and more hours of content, filling the time becomes even more of a challenge. That's no excuse, however, for padding out newscasts with blatantly promotional content -- which Channel 9 has been doing on a far-too-regular basis of late during the 5 a.m. hour of its highly rated news block. I noted one such example in the blog "9News Gives Away Airtime for Peanuts," during which the station r

• Beyond Playlist presents Xmas-rated, part four: Variety Packs

  This year, we've wrapped our roundup of holiday albums a bit differently. Instead of delivering it to you in one big lump (like coal), we're parceling out the reviews online, with a blog each weekday through December 24 devoted to recordings in a different category. Part four features "Variety Packs" -- six new compilations that draw from styles like metal, pop, alternative (sort of), Latin music and, well, sexiness. Slip that in your stocking.

• The idea of Shaquille O'Neal as a Nugget becomes an inaugural-concert laugh line

  During last night's Kids' Inaugural concert, a Michelle Obama-hosted bash for military families and Washington, D.C.-area children that was nationally broadcast on the Disney Channel, performers such as Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers shared spotlight time with an extended video package shot in the Denver area. The footage featured basketballer Shaquille O'Neal speaking to youngsters gathered at Buckley Air Force Base -- and during a Q&A segment, a girl asks him why he decided to be a Denve

• Milking It: Hannah Montana Multi-Grain Secret Identity Cereal

  Hannah Montana Multi-Grain Secret Identity Cereal Kellogg's Rating: Two-and-a-half spoons out of four Cereal description: Corn-and-oat discs that resemble semi-flattened Crunchberries -- a resemblance underscored by the light red and dark purple color scheme. Does that mean the real secret identity of Miley Stewart (the character Miley Cyrus plays in the Hannah Montana TV series and a movie set for release on April 10) is Cap'n Crunch? If only...

• Q&A with Hayley Williams of Paramore

  Photo by Ryan RussellParamore. Hayley Williams, the frontwoman for Paramore, which opens for No Doubt on Wednesday, May 27, at Fiddler's Green, is already a star, but few thinks her career trajectory has peaked. Based on the platinum sales of Riot!, the group's last album, and a successful tie-in with Twilight, the vampire-romance novel turned hit film, she seems bound for bigger things. But she hardly comes across as a diva in training during the following interview, conducted in association w

• Beyond Playlist: The Jonas Brothers and more

  Jonas Brothers Lines, Vines and Trying Times (Hollywood) Of course the Jonai are interested in broadening their demographic appeal. At this point, after all, medical science is unable to prevent girls from aging beyond their twelth birthday. But their approach to sonic maturation is flat-out inexplicable. Late teens and early twenty-somethings are supposed to be enthralled by the corny brass lines and Vegas-lounge arrangement of the opener, "World War III," and the gruesomely mistitled "Much

Don't look for any big derivations; "Welcome to Savannah" follows the act's electropop template pretty close

• Q&A with Kyle Evans of Breathe Carolina

  Those Breathe Carolina boys sure are colorful. It started out as a simple phone interview for a feature commemorating Breathe Carolina's participation in this year's Warped Tour, which rolls into Invesco Field at Mile High on Sunday, August 9. But it turned into something considerably more unexpected when, during our conversation with BC's Kyle Evans, his partner in rhyme, David Schmitt, appeared, his face dripping with blood. What happened? Get the whole story in a sprawling Q&A on view after

• Q&A with Mack Maine, president of Young Money Entertainment

  ​Mack Maine, is always moving. When I first meet him standing amid the ruins of the Young Money stage set he will not be still; he's too busy and that's a good thing -- too busy crafting clever rhymes, to "build his brand." Maine's Doofus cum Cyrano de Bergerac verse at the end of this summer's stalwart hate it or love it record "(I Wish I could F*ck) Every Girl in the World" has made sure that even if you don't know the man's name you know his punchline: "In about three years, holla at me Mil

Just as Neil Young was the depth and edge of CSNY, Holland was the stand-out talent in the Canadian, all-girl, alt-folk group the Be Good Tanyas, and for the last half-decade has excelled on her own. Last fall, Holland drew a large crowd to the Boulder Theater on th

• Phil Anschutz's profits on Michael Jackson's This Is It film: Ka-ching!

  The planet still loves little Michael.​Denver mega-buckser Phil Anschutz has reportedly recouped his entire investment in the late Michael Jackson's aborted "This Is It" tour (after seeming on the verge of multi-million-dollar losses) thanks to the sale of rehearsal footage that makes up the just-released This Is It film. Now all that's left is to watch the moolah roll in -- a process that's already started. The flick racked up $7.4 million in the U.S. on Wednesday, when it opened at theat
