The Hologram of Dead Tupac Is Now Dead
Dr. Dre caused a stir at Coachella this year, when Dr. Dre brought Tupac back to life in hologram form. And as he rose, he will fall and seemingly never exist again – the company behind the hologram Tupac has filed for bankruptcy (via Consequence of Sound). The company, Digital Domain Media Group, was around for 20 years and also did special effects for movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Titanic. And here I thought that Titanic was filmed using actual footage from 1912. I guess this means no holograms of Elvis, Freddie Mercury, and John Lennon. Any one else not sad about this?
Woman Beater Chris Brown Gets Tattoo of Beaten Woman
The headline for this story would be poetic if it didn’t involve beating women and woman beater, Chris Brown. The douche bag that is Chris Brown showed up with a fresh new tattoo – on his neck – of what appears to be what Rihanna looked like after he Mike Tyson’ed her while they were dating. WHY?????????????? It’s not exactly a badge of honour. And it won’t exactly endure you to future women who are begging to be the next one beaten by you – or will it?
Chris Brown’s rep has denied the tattoo is of a beaten woman, although it looks eerily like one. “His tattoo is a sugar skull (associated with the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead) and a MAC cosmetics design he saw,” Brown’s rep told TMZ. “It is not Rihanna or an abused woman as erroneously reported,” (via MTV). It should be noted that Chris Brown’s rep is Stevie Wonder, and hasn’t actually seen the tattoo.

Festival News: Lollapalooza Daily Lineup; Outside Lands Full Lineup; Sasquatch! Set Times; and All-Hologram Coachella
A bunch of festival news has been happening the past day, so rather than a bunch of small little posts, we thought we’d cram it all into one post – this way you can ignore one post instead of three. We’re here to help you ignore us easier.
Lollapalooza Sells Out Weekend Passes, Announces Daily Line Up
One of the benefits of the Coachella lineup announcement and poster is that it immediately shows you who is playing each day in the desert festival. Lollapalooza has a cool poster of bands from headliners in big font to early afternoon bands with the hard to read font size 8, but it doesn’t tell you who is playing when, which sucks if you can only make it for one day. They have now broken up the lineup for complainers like me, with set times to follow later (often a week before the festival). I wouldn’t be liking the Jack White vs. Florence + the Machine conflict on Sunday night.
The Lollapalooza website also notes that they are completely sold out of 3-day weekend passes, and only single day passes are left, for $95 each. Time to become a volunteer and not show up for your post if you want to see all 3 days (although they might catch on after Day 1).
