A new auction benefiting the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund is giveing you the chance to get your hands on a guitar made specially for Tom Petty.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Signed Rickenbacker
Rickenbacker created this guitar especially for Tom to sign in support of Sweet Relief, and it is truly a one-of-a-kind instrument. The exquisite details and custom finish have never appeared together on a Rickenbacker, and the vintage TV knobs, F soundhole and checkered binding were just of few of the incredible details that blew us away. On September 17th, Sweet Relief took the guitar to Kaaboo in Del Mar, CA for Tom and the Heartbreakers to sign, and Tom was so impressed with the guitar that he wanted to keep it for himself! Of course he happily signed the guitar and went on to perform an awesome set, closing the night, as always, with “American Girl.”

Liam Payne‘s most recent music video for his single, “Bedroom Floor,” is one to remember – and not just because of its catchy beat; the song’s video features Bella Thorne, who portrays a girl dealing with a flaky boyfriend.
Payne is hardly the first singer to feature another celeb in his music video. Some are particularly iconic – think Liv Tyler and Alicia Silverstone in Aerosmith’s “Crazy,” or Lena Dunham, Cindy Crawford and more in Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” – but there are a bunch we bet you forgot about:

I became a fan of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers several years ago by a chance encounter with a friend's iPod. I became obsessed and ended up going through what I thought was his whole catalogue. I classified him as a classic rock artist who was underappreciated, no longer relevant, and patted myself on the back for "getting it." So when I heard that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were coming to Seattle on August 19, I grabbed my credit card and headed to my laptop, ready to buy a general admission ticket to Neumos or the Showbox…maybe the Moore Theater. After all, if the bands that I listened to in high school were playing those venues when they came to town, that's where I'd find Tom Petty.
I could not have been more wrong. Tom Petty's catalogue spans 40 years, 13 albums, 68 singles, and his most recent record, The Hypnotic Eye,...

"Ricki and the Flash" offers more than just a chance to check out Oscar’s favorite actress as a bar-band diva who’s a cross between Chrissie Hynde and Melissa Etheridge coming to terms with the family she long ago left behind. Moviegoers will also witness Meryl Streep as she continues to fulfill what appears to be her ultimate destiny as a musical star on the big screen, one that she has been building towards for much of her big-screen career. Unlike Al Pacino’s similar “Danny Collins” from earlier this year, Streep is fully vested in the musical aspects of her first summer outing since 2012’s “Hope Springs.” The comedy-drama, written by Diablo Cody and directed by Jonathan Demme, requires the star to belt a dozen cover songs, including Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ “American Girl,” all recorded in front of a live audience.
