Travis McCoy's album, Lazarus is in stores now and for some reason, it's being slept on. Sure songs like "Billionaire" his collaboration with hook-man-of-the-moment Bruno Mars is number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, but other great songs on Lazarus deserve some burn too; other songs like "The Manual" featuring T-Pain and Young Cash.

The sound of this record is pure summertime, light on bass, but heavy on melody with the steady strum of guitars and Travis and company doing that melodic rap thing he's pretty good at. Check out the video and then go do a search for more music from Lazarus. Promise it'll be worth the time.

Unless you're someone who actually plays the game of soccer, try to resist the urge to buy a jersey with the number 10 emblazoned on it. We know this is like the biggest sporting event of the last four years (just like it always is every four years), but we also know you probably don't follow the MLS on a regular basis.

Instead, you're probably like us, people who enjoy the cultural significance of the World Cup, and only pay attention to the game when Team USA is close to the goal. For those kinds of people, the team at Stunt Creative have come up with a line of t-shirts called "Can I Kick It?". Based on the classsic A Tribe Called Quest song of the same name, the Stunt Creative tees feature head shots of the 56 best players kicking it in the 2010 World Cup, pictured in the same motif as ATCQ's historic Midnight Marauders album cover.

Can we say GOOOOAAAALLL!?

After rumors spread that the Governor, Vice-President nominee, Talk Show Host, Republican socialite, Sarah Palin had breast implants, the woman in the middle of it all spoke to Fox Fake News about her chest size.

Talking to Greta Van Susteren of FOX News, Mrs Palin said, "No, I have not had implants. A report like that is about as real and truthful as reports that [my husband] Todd and I are divorcing or that I bought a place in the Hamptons or that [my son] Trigg is not my own child."

The 46-year-old added, "To be judged on or to be talked about on appearance -- say chest size -- it makes me wear layers, it makes me have to waste time figuring out what am I going to wear so that nobody will look at an area that I don't need them to look at. I want them to hear what it is that I'm saying. It just ends up wasting time and that's very, very unfortunate."

Gotta be honest, we still think she got some silicone.  All good, though.  Keep yelling "Drill, Baby, Drill!"...look how good that did yes.  Thanks Sarah and BP!

Try saying that 3 times fast. Courtney Love uploaded some steamy new pictures of her an transexual Amanda Lepore. In the photos the HOLE singer is "on her hands and knees being whipped by Amanda Lepore, grabbing her bare crotch Thriller-style and nearly nude and strung out in a deserted warehouse."

The photo shoot may be a bit dated because now Courtney Love is covered in flower tattoos. I'll admit ever since I saw Larry Flint at a young age I've always had a bit of a crush on Courtney Love. She's Kurt Cobain's ex, and if I could choose to talk to one person, she'd be on my list. The stories she could tell. Anyway enjoy the pictures.

Besides waiting on the highly anticipated Drake & Nicki Minaj albums every body has been talking about the new Roots albums that supposed to drop on June 22nd. The album is titled "How I Got Over" & is supposed to be another classic to add to their long list of plaques on the wall. When you think about the Roots you think about legends in the game that has been doing this longer than most of your favorite rappers.

When you think of The Roots you don't think about basic rap that focuses on cars,women & jewelry. The Roots stand for something so much more powerful than that. When you think of The Roots you automatically think of back pack rap, That or the big afro drummer dude that works with Jay Z (Quest Love) ha ha.

We have their newest single coming off the up & coming album titled "The Fire" featuring John Legend. What a collabo right? The song is based on never giving up & having that fire to keep trying to make it happen. 

"You Don't Say Good Luck/ You Say Don't Give Up"

We all know pop singer Miley Cyrus for her steamy stage shows. But the teeny bopper has a confession to make. She wants the world to know that she is not like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Miley claimed:

"If I'm ever seen out dancing at a club having fun, I don’t want people to immediately go, 'Oh, she's on drugs, she's drunk. I'm never going to be that person. As long as I steer clear of that and keep that mind frame, I think I'll be cool."

Atleast, Miley is steering herself in the right direction and is not allowing the fame and glory to get to her head. As she continues to come out with hit songs and performing wacky shows we here at GlobalGrind will always love Miley!

Check out GG's photos of Miley Cyrus out and about!

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz have recently announced that they are expecting a child. I'm not too sure how many months pregnant Alicia is, but it's not stopping her from making those big moves and handling her business. She actually performed for the FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony concert, and despite the baby bump, she did her thing. Check out some photos of Alicia and her baby bump at the World Cup Ceremony.

At some point this summer, you're going to be in a club. It will be sometime around 1 a.m. and everyone around you will be sweaty. If you're doing it right, you will be sweaty too, and maybe slightly intoxicated (maybe not, if you're reading this and under 21) .

The DJ will be in a zone, where everything he plays sounds like your favorite song, and you and your friends are dancing like no one is watching. Then "XXXO" will come on, and M.I.A.'s new single will set things off to another level. But then this brand new verse from Jay-Z will start, and you will hear the faux-British accent, rhyme along to every word, and then the journey is complete. You have officially added a soundtrack to one of the best nights of your life.

Ashley Greene had naked pictures leak on the internet just like Vanessa Hudgens did, and now Ashley Greene has to deal with a wardrobe malfunction while she was making her way from the gym. The Twilight Star, must have been in a rush because her blue tank top moved and twisted to reveal her beautiful lace bra. 

Personally I thing a designer should start making all women's shirts like this. It would be a great fashion trend that would take over the world and maybe even allow a woman to be President. Luckily for the beautiful Ashley Greene, didn't display a nipple.

Snooki, J-Woww and the rest of her Jersey Shore chicks celebrated the launch of MTV's newest show The Hard Times of RJ Berger. As always the two Jersey Shore beauties turned on the swag for the red carpet, but what caught my eye most was that according to Gossip Central Snooki is ready to make Guido babies.

The pudgy reality star said  "Honestly, I want to save up money so that I can buy a house, find a guy, have a family and make Guido babies! That's all I want." Snooki's life goals are awesome! What a gift for everyone. Snooki wants to decorate the Earth with her offspring. God I love Snooki.
