Ever since Frank Sinatra swept Ava Gardner off her feet back in the '50s, million-dollar rock stars have been shacking up with silver-screen icons. The couplings usually make sense (creative occupations, comparable bank accounts, insatiable needs for attention) and we've seen some sizzling pairs hit the red carpet over the years.
But which duo is the ultimate actor-singer combo right now?

We scoured the tabloids and made our pick. Agree with our assessment, or think you know someone hotter? Check out our list of the and sound off.

Coachella 2007. For the third year in a row, I have returned from the California desert (and 107 degree heat!) battered, bruised, deaf .

.. and completely inspired and elated by the sounds and sights of the more than 100 bands that performed at America's best musical festival, which expanded to three days this year.

It was a lot to digest, but I've finally decided upon my top 5 musical moments from this year's event. Drumroll please..

..
I've literally waited more than a decade for the vanguards of new-wave noise to return to the stage, and their Friday night set lived up to every expectation.

They ran through all the hits ('Head On,' 'Some Candy Talking'), and even invited Scarlett Johansson to the stage to sing the chorus of 'Just Like Honey' (it was featured in ScarJo's film 'Lost in Translation,' for those who missed the connection). Mesmerizing, LOUD and well worth the wait.
Ok, this one shocked the hell out of me.

I had thought my days of tripping out to trance music were long behind me, but as the beats kicked in and 30,000 hands flew in the air, I found myself drawn to Tiesto like a moth to his flame. His over-the-top set of synth-heavy rave anthems was utterly ridiculous, yet completely undeniable. The weekend's most brilliant guilty pleasure.


The band was tight, their new songs sounded amazing, and Wyatt Earp has replaced Carlos D on bass! Interpol's performance of 'Not Even Jail' was slicker than their designer threads and quickly became my "moment" of Friday night.
Their 2005 Coachella set was my highlight that year, and their 2007 set lived up the legend.

There's nothing like rocking out to your favorite band and the sun sets behind the mountains in the distance. I felt tears well up in my eyes several times. If you weren't there, this is one set that you should kick yourself for missing.


I'm not sure what it was -- the awesome sound in the dance tent, James Murphy's white disco suit, the fact that I was delirious from dancing for about six hours straight already -- but LCD Soundsystem kicked my ass. I've seen them play many times before, but the energy of that room alone made it perhaps the best set they have ever played. Sure, Rage and the Chili Peppers drew bigger crowds, but screw them.

This is where you had to be for the ultimate Coachella moment.
But wait, there's more. If you think that that bigger is better, you'll also be able to catch the show, for one night only, on the big screen at select movie theaters nationwide.

to see where the concert -- with 30 minutes of bonus footage -- is playing near you.
Can't wait to watch Sessions performance? Well, we can't wait for you to see it.

The shoot was so incredible, in fact, that we feel bad keeping it to ourselves -- so we decided to leak one song from the set, just to give you a taste of what's to come.
Watch the band rip through now, and come back on Friday, May 4 Monday, May 7 to see the entire six-song performance.

It's Friday the 13th, the day that brings out the triskaidekaphobic in all of us.

But no matter how many black cats cross your path today, take solace in the fact that there are a baker's dozen of stars out there who've had had their luck go much more sour than yours.

We've scoured the pop-culture archive and come up with our staff-approved list of the Several suffered from poor timing, two were the victims of pyrotechnic mishaps, one had a bird crap in her mouth -- and a few of them were even caught on tape for your awe and amusement:

"At some point when we were doing this band, I was like, 'You know what? I'm going to be the most androgynous person that I can possibly be,'" he says in an exclusive interview with the gay-men's magazine.

'"I'm going to wear girl pants and makeup.' I looked to David Bowie, Mick Jagger and people like that and I was like, 'That's what's missing in all the bands that we're playing with right now!' You need the effeminate edge.

Pete also went on to discuss the ambiguity of sexuality in general and admitted that he has enjoyed making out with men -- but draws the line at doing anything with dudes below the belt. (Hmmm..

.think he and Patrick ever sucked face before a show?)
If you haven't heard, is preparing to turn the story of , her late hubby, into a biopic.

We immediately started wondering who in Hollywood has the chops to pull it off. Take a look at our list of candidates and tell us ? Or do you have a suggestion about someone we missed?

By the way, this week marks the 13th anniversary of Kurt's suicide. If you're still feeling the void like we are, we suggest you dust off your old copy of 'Nevermind,' throw on you raggedy flannel shirt and get grunge in honor of the Seattle savior.

We'le even providing this classic clip of the man in action for your inspiration.
Ok, we have no idea who's responsible for this, but we seriously almost peed when we saw the .
