Filed under: Jimmy Fallon, Music News, R.I.P.

Tom “T-Bone” Wolk, who played bass for nearly 30 years with Daryl Hall and John Oates and also recorded with Elvis Costello and Billy Joel, died Saturday (Feb. 27) of an apparent heart attack. Wolk was to have performed with Hall and Oates today as part of the one-year anniversary show for NBC’s “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.”

Wolk’s age is unknown at this time. A Yonkers, N.Y., native, the musician played bass on Kurtis Blow’s early rap classic “These Are the Breaks” and between 1986 and 1992, served as the bassist for the “Saturday Night Live” house band, where he became familiar for his omnipresent black top hat. Wolk also collaborated and recorded with Carly Simon, Rosanne Cash, Bette Midler, Cyndi Lauper, Jewel and Shawn Colvin throughout his career.

But he was best known for his tenure with Hall and Oates, which began with the 1981 album “Private Eyes” and continued until the present day. In addition to his bass work for the duo, Wolk also served as a co-producer on several of their projects.

Funeral details have yet to be announced.

New Vid, Last Song: Miley Cyrus, “When I Look at You”

Filed under: Gomez TV, Miley Cyrus, Movie News, Music News

Miley Cyrus promotes her forthcoming flick, The Last Song (in theaters, March 31) in hew new music video.

Not sure what I’m hearing, massive delay on the vocal or auto tune or perhaps a mix of both.

I don’t know about anyone else but I’m getting tired of this auto tune shit. I do like the song however and I’ve always been a Miley fan.

Is this the movie that will launch Miley into a huge acting career? I had a chance to see about 20 minutes of the movie and it was good, real good and I’m no movie critic or sappy Nicholas Sparks fan.

Tennis champ Rafael Nadal And Shakira Make Sweet Music In Her New Video – Preview

Filed under: Gomez TV, Music News, Shakira

Spanish tennis titan Rafael Nadal steps out of the comforts of the court and into Shakira’s arms – for a video, anyway.

The attractive pair rolls around on a rock, hold hands, and embraces in the video for the singer’s upcoming song, “Gypsy,” due out in April.

But don’t get any ideas. Shakira, 33, is engaged to Antonio de la Rua, son of former Argentine president, Fernando de la Rúa.

And Nadal, 23, is dating his high school sweetheart.

He isn’t the first tennis pro to appear in a music video. Enrique Iglesias fans will remember Anna Kournikova’s cameo is his video for the 2001 single, “Escape.” That pair later began dating.
