Many social media users have cited the 19-season run of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” as a reminder that sex crimes have long pre-dated Harvey Weinstein. To the surprise of no one, the disgraced former studio head — whose dozens of accusers recently inspired countless others to speak out against powerful men they’ve encountered in the workplace — will inspire a 2018 episode of the Dick Wolf-created NBC procedural.

The show’s executive producer, Michael Chernuchin, told Entertainment Weekly that “we are hitting Harvey Weinstein head-on” with a fictionalized account of predators who work in the airline industry.

While readying a previously-planned script about “airline pilots and what a boys club that is,” Chernuchin said he and his writers realized, “‘Wow, this is exactly what the actresses go through in Hollywood. It’s the same environment.’ So we got all of our Harvey stuff out with airline pilots.”

After a nearly yearlong wait for his fans, Drake's first single from his debut album Thank Me Later is here. The song, "Over," deals with Drake coming to grips with fame. And just like Drizzy chose to stay with his home team, Young Money, when signing his record deal, he also chose to debut his first official record in his hometown, on Toronto radio station 93.5 the Flow. The song is also available for download on Drake's Web site.

"Bottles on me, long as someone drink it," the 23-year-old raps in a slow, aggressive flow. "Never drop the ball, f--- is y'all thinking?/ Making sure the Young Money ship is never sinking/ 'Bout to set it off in this bi---, Jada Pinkett/ You too fine to be laying down in bed alone/ I can...

Many announcements regarding recruitments and withdrawals of musicians from either their group or their label have been made. Also, artists from all music genres have gained a lot of impressive achievements, either by adding awards to their collection or having their records atop charts. In the second quarter of 2009, Eminem rose from the five years hiatus while the death of Michael Jackson brought together several top musicians.

Michael Jackson's possible aliases used to fill prescriptions included his personal chef, his son Prince Michael, a personal assistant, the novelist Jack London and 1930s movie actress/dancer Josephine Baker, according to court documents released Thursday. Warrants obtained to search the Las Vegas home and office of Jackson doctor Conrad Murray show that authorities were seeking evidence of the "delivery and storage" of the drug propofol, a powerful anesthesia that Jackson may have taken before his June 25 death. Jackson regularly used propofol to help him sleep, according to media reports. The documents say authorities were searching for "charts, associated laboratory workups and X-rays,...

A day after Michael Jackson passed away, P. Diddy wastes no time to join fellow singers and record a tribute song titled "Better on the Other Side" for the late King of Pop. Among other stars who lend their vocals on the track are The Game, Usher, Chris Brown, Mario Winans and Boyz II Men.

"Who's Michael Jackson?/ You're Michael Jackson/ I'm Michael Jackson/ We all Michael Jackson," Game raps on the song's line. "I guess what I'm asking is/ Everybody bow their head/ For a legend, don't breathe for a second."

At the end of the track which was debuted on Los Angeles radio station Power 106 on June 26, Diddy concludes with a statement saying, "People can say what they want about you. We gonna remember the miracles that you showed us. Through your music, through your dance. You were the one that made us realize that you are the world.

Michael Jackson's impact on the pop-culture world was so powerful, several celebrities are already reacting to his death, not just with statements, but with songs. On Friday morning (June 26), 50 Cent dropped two songs paying tribute to the King of Pop. And on Thursday night, just after learning of Mj's passing, the Game orchestrated a symphony of performers to give thanks and reflect on Jackson.

Game's tribute track dedicated to Michael Jackson called "Better on the Other Side," debuted this morning on Los Angeles radio station Power 106. To assist on the track the rapper phoned in a few homies, including Chris Brown, Diddy, Polow Da Don, Mario Winans, Usher and Boyz II Men.
