The Social Network has sounded somewhat like a lame concept for a film from the beginning. (Let’s tell the story of guys behind Facebook!) It got even more laughable once the incredibly melodramatic trailer (with a choir singing Radiohead’s “Creep”) came out. Yes, some people may be interested in the creators of one of the most influential social media networks we have today. However, you can also wiki all of that. We don’t need a dramatized version of the life story. If we were going to watch a movie about a social network, it would be this one anyway – and yes, we’re well aware that it’s a spoof.

However, there’s always one thing that can save a story we could care less about – the music. Just look at what the second and third soundtracks for the Twilight Saga did! Bon Iver + Vampires = Tolerable! Broken Social Scene and Beck also revved Scott Pilgrim vs. The World up and now Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails is going to stamp some credibility on The Social Network‘s score. However, you can decide if the music will do a good enough job…

In July it was announced that Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor would be lending his musical talent to the score of The Social Network. If you’re not familiar with the film, it’s a semi-biographical account of the founding of Facebook. It includes plenty of sex, drugs, and computers and in this case a haunting score by a rock-god.

Just because both Ke$ha and Lisa Simpson wake up feeling like P. Diddy, doesn’t mean the rapper can do anything he damn well pleases. Or can he?

Diddy‘s large ego seems to be feeling inferior to Kanye’s because he, too, is starting his own blog and so far, it’s been set up in that “I’m Diddy. I’m epic” dramatic kind of way. The blog provides a trailer which includes clips of himself with Martin Luther King, Jr., Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Will Smith, and Barack Obama.

Recently, there was an uproar of the news Trent Reznor‘s half lies again. He’s not really retiring from performing- just touring with NIN. He got married to the gorgeous Mariqueen Maandig of West Indian Girl and decided to start another group called How To Destroy Angels. Even though he couldn’t stay away from Twitter, he is done with NIN for good… but maybe we’re not?

Did all of you go to the final NIN concert in Los Angeles back in September? We’re assuming that all of you diehard fans weren’t there because The Wiltern can only seat 2,300. However, you may be able to relive that night again – even if you weren’t there.
