Weezer's Rivers Cuomo Explains 'Spontaneous' Leighton Meester Duet
On Saturday night, Weezer celebrated Halloween with a concert at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom. It was your typical Weezer show, full of big hooks and lung-busting sing-alongs, but when it came time for the group to play new single "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To," they welcomed a special guest onstage: "Gossip Girl" star and "Good Girls Go Bad" singer Leighton Meester. She stormed the stage and duetted with Cuomo on the song, which sounded...

Album review: Weezer's 'Raditude'
To those taken aback by Rivers Cuomo's newfound embrace of songs about slaying honeys in the club while downing Patron shots on "Raditude," he has this to say to you -- "If you was me honey, you would do it too." Grammar aside, there's a real kernel of truth to this lyric. Name any neurotic, lovelorn bedroom rocker who, upon achieving unlikely arena-filling status, wouldn't take full advantage of having Lil Wayne on speed dial, as evidenced by the rapper's...

Rivers Cuomo had never seen an episode of the surreal kid's show Yo Gabba Gabba! before, but that didn't stop the Weezer frontman from sporting a giant purple Spider costume and jumping around a stage filled with overgrown grass and giant acorns for his band's performance of the original Gabba song “All My Friends Are Insects.” “It's awesome here,” Cuomo [said] during the...

Weezer and Kenny G?: PHOTO
Um, wow. Weezer's standards have been getting a little...lax, regarding collaborations... Not that I have anything against Kenny G. Who am I kidding? I can't even keep a straight face while writing that, but he's not the only offender. They even pulled Leighton Meester (you know, that chick from "Gossip Girl") onstage over the weekend for an impromptu duet during their Halloween show in New York. I don't know if I just can't get over my disdain for Kenny G, but this song is just not right.

Weezer celebrates the art of cuddling
Weezer may be cozying up to rapper Lil Wayne and singing songs such as "I'm Your Daddy" on its new album, "Raditude," but the band hasn't completely abandoned its persona as rock 'n' roll's lovable geeks. With the release today of the band's new album, the act followed through on its promise (threat?) to release a Weezer-branded Snuggie -- a blanket with sleeves for those who don't watch a lot of late-night TV. The promotional item is...

In the first of three videos we've got for your rockin' pleasure, soprano sax of Kenny G steps in for a cameo player role in "I'm Your Daddy". It's hard to tell who's spoofing who at this point, but Rivers seems batshit excited about it. In the second...

New Reviews: Weezer, Rolling Stones, Nirvana and More
Weezer return with their new album Raditude today — with or without a Snuggie . As Rob Sheffield writes in his three-and-a-half star review, since Pinkerton , “to a casual fan, each Weezer album sounds pretty great, and each Weezer album sounds exactly like the last one. But to a true Weezer cultist, each is a shameful betrayal of everything ‘El Scorcho’ stood for.” The same can be said of Raditude , which finds Weezer collaborating with Jermaine Dupri and Lil...
