You might not know who Porcelain Black is right now, but once you’ve heard her raspy voice and dance pop sound and seen her gothic look, it’ll be hard to wipe her image or songs out of your head. Though her crown of glory is reminiscent of Cruella de Vil,…
Cinderella hit the spotlight in 1983 when Jon Bon Jovi saw them perform in their hometown of Philadelphia. It’s an ’80s-rock fairytale fitting for their feminine title. Cinderella’s fame grew during the era of glam and hair bands, but it managed to grow with the times. The band continues to…
Tom Cruise fans were tickled pink while dressed all in black at the Hard Rock Casino yesterday during the six-hour filming of the final scene of his upcoming film, Rock of Ages. The rest of us nonfans were just working up the enthusiasm to cheer for a couch-hopper dressed sexily…

We can’t all be tall, blond, former models from Australia. But twin-sister DJ duo Nervo has proven itself to be much more than that.
