If you love Oasis and live in the NYC area, then this is a show you just can't miss. Announced a few days ago (sorry a bit late on this one), Oasis will be playing an intimate show at Terminal 5 on Friday night (7 p.m.) at Sept. 12.

It looks like Snoop Dogg and Strokes-guitarist-turned-solo-act Albert Hammond Jr. are designing their own lines of clothing to help guys get closer to being sharp-dressed men. Hammond is going the classy route with the help of stylist Ilaria Urbinati and working on a line of suits. Set to initially be sold in LA (like Ubinati and actor/DJ Danny Masterson's store Confederacy), there will be three designs which will evolve each season. Meanwhile Snoop drops Rich & Famous this week in Vegas. Aimed at 18-35-year-old guys, there will be streetwear designs, accessories and grooming products. Check out his stuff here.

What do you get when you get an Idol alum, a Cheetah Girl and All-American Reject on a movie set? The House Bunny, of course. In this hilarious new movie, Playboy bunny Shelley (played by Anna Faris) becomes the house mother for a not-so-cool sorority. She makes over not only the girls but her own life. A fun take on girl-power and one to watch with your sisters, The House Bunny also brings in the talent of Idol's Katherine McPhee who plays Harmony (the free-spirited knocked up Zeta sister), Cheetah Girl Kiely Williams (the very shy and quiet Zeta) and All-American Rejects' frontman Tyson Ritter (the hot but goofy frat boy who's the object of Zeta sister Natalie's affection). The first female-driven comedy produced by Adam Sandler's Happy Madison Productions, this film (out in theaters on Aug. 22) is a show definitely worth seeing.
You don't have to wait for Sept. 26 to hear The Verve's new album, Forth. Starting today, the band is letting you hear the new material in its entirety on their MySpace. You can also listen to the album on The Vinyl Mixtape's Listening Post (found on the right sidebar).

Just like the humor surround the film (opening this weekend), the soundtrack will definitely get a few laughs out of you. So if you're up for some fun sounds, pick up Tropic Thunder's soundtrack now.
Deny it all you want, but there's just something about musicals that just gets everyone hooked. And the ABBA-inspired Mama Mia! just proved it this week by taking the top spot of the Billboard 200. Second to Juno, which hit #1 in January, Mama Mia! is the second soundtrack to be on top this year. According to Billboard, the last time more than one soundtrack took #1 was in 1998 with Titanic, Armageddon and City of Angels.
Daughtry's four-times platinum self-titled debut will be re-released in an expanded form on Sept. 9. The reissue will feature a DVD with music videos and live performances, acoustic versions of tracks like "Home" and a cover of Foreigner's "Feels Like the First Time." So if you're a big fan of the original rocking Idol, then be sure grab this album in the fall.

The Jonas Brothers won't be the only boy band dropping a record today. OG boy band of the 90s, New Kids on the Block, will be releasing their greatest hits album today. Besides the classics, "Step By Step", "Cover Girl" and "Hangin' Tough", it'll have three bonus tracks, a 2008 tour poster and a mega mix. So for all you're in the mood for some old school pop, grab your copy now. 
When I saw Jon McLaughlin open for Kelly Clarkson last year, I was hooked. Between the fluid voice and power on the keys, McLaughlin has it made and is definitely one to keep an eye on. He released the video for his new single, "Beating My Heart", last month and has been promoting his new effort, OK Now, this summer. 
You love the video game so why not see the people don't need? Coming to a city near you, Panic at the Disco, Plain White Ts, Dashboard Confessional and The Cab. So get ready to rock out!
