"We're like a two-headed monster," grins Monica West, one-half of MVPleez.

Her other half, Valentine Bureau, wholeheartedly agrees with a chuckle. The New York-based comedy duo definitely operates with one clear goal in mind—to make you laugh.

They succeed immensely with their hilarious music videos and sketches on YouTube. You can see them causing havoc in "Criminal", chiding the "Worst Texter Ever", or spending like a rap superstar on "Tax Refund Time". All along the way, their sharp, satirical humor remains utterly fresh and righteously funny. With hip hop flavor and theatrical panache, the MVPleez monster is about to become a bona fide 21st century comedy goliath.

In this exclusive interview with ARTISTdirect.com editor in chief Rick Florino, MVPleez talk creating their videos, musical influences, near-jail experiences, mistakes boys make, and so much more…

Opening in theaters on March 2nd is the new high school party movie produced by director Todd Phillips (Old School, The Hangover) called Project X. The film is a "found footage" movie, which was directed by Nima Nourizadeh and stars a cast of predominantly unknown actors including Thomas Mann (It's Kind of a Funny Story), Oliver Cooper, Jonathan Daniel Brown, Kirby Bliss Blanton, Alexis Knapp, Nichole Bloom, Dax Flame, and Miles Teller (Footloose).

"You're picking up the guitar and playing along with the real music in BandFuse," smiles Slash. "How fucking cool is that?"

The answer is a resounding, "Really fucking cool."

That simple fact is what drew the legendary guitar-slinger to BandFuse: Rock Legends in the first place. Boasting groundbreaking technology and an extremely user-friendly interface, BandFuse is the ultimate instrument game. Not only can you jam along to your favorite song from real tablature, but you'll be ranked based on how well you're nailing the notes and the little details of the song. As an added bonus, legends like Slash will guide you through the game, giving pieces of advice and encouragement as you progress. BandFuse also features a massive, genre-jumping song list including Coldplay, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Five Finger Death Punch, Maroon 5, and, of course, Slash. Plus, there are numerous surprises in store for BandFuse when it drops later this year.

After ripping through "Back to Cali" in the game during its unveiling event this past week, Slash sat down for an exclusive interview with ARTISTdirect.com editor in chief Rick Florino about BandFuse. He tells us what makes the game special, the best piece of advice he ever got as a guitarist, and so much more.

James Cameron's latest production, Sanctum, hits theaters this Friday February 4, 2011—and boy, does it look frightening. The film chronicles an underwater cave-diving team whose lives are on the line during an expedition to the most mysterious and inaccessible cave in the world. That just sounds scary to me—maybe because it reminds me of my last vacation.

Saw 3D star Tobin Bell sits down with ARTISTdirect.com editor Rick Florino. The two chat about favorite traps, why he keeps coming back to play John Kramer (Jigsaw) and what’s on his iPod.

"It's always a great time when we arrive at Halloween every year," exclaims Saw 3D star Tobin Bell.

Truth be told, after all these years, Halloween wouldn't be the same without a new Saw film. The series has become as integral to the season as costumes and candy. In fact, each subsequent offering always pumps enough blood into cineplexes to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. The franchise also evolves into a sharper and bloodier beast every time it rips through October. One of the main reasons that Saw continues to entrance the collective zeitgeist is Bell.

Remember that kid in school that tormented you on a regular basis? You know, the one who made making your life a living hell their absolute top priority? Be it the trash talk, or the trash can that certain somebody always seemed to find a way to turn your day into everyone else’s joke. It’s not only the idea behind the new star-studded picture - You Again, it’s a scenario familiar to many of us.
