Ariana Grande will embark on her "The Eternal Sunshine Tour" in limited cities next year, and it may be a long time until you see her on tour. That's what she told Amy Poehler recently.

Shinedown have released "Searchlight," the song they performed last month at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. At the show, singer Brent Smith introduced it by saying, "Sometimes when you listen close enough to the universe and you're willing to receive something from it — a song can come out of thin air. We didn't find this one, it found us."

Guns N’ Roses, Foo Fighters and My Chemical Romance are among the more than 160 bands announced for the Welcome to Rockville festival in Daytona Beach, Florida from May 7th through the 10th.

New console plays original N64 cartridges … Retro gamers rejoice! A new console – called the Analogue 3D – plays all those Nintendo 64 cartridges you may still have. The engineers designed this thing to bring the old games to life on modern TVs. They even included a pair of tiny game cartridge cleaners, which require just a little swipe to freshen up the dust and grime on the metal pins.

Mary Steenburgen actually ate spaghetti with maple syrup during the filming of "Elf"

There are also, she added, moments she won't ever forget — like filming the scene in which her character enjoys a plate of spaghetti made by Buddy the Elf (played by Ferrell) and topped with chocolate, candy, and maple syrup.

"That first scene of the dinner, that’s the very first scene in the movie," Steenburgen said on Today of the scene, which begins with Buddy chugging an entire 2-liter of soda. "And I wasn’t yet used to anything of the way he was dressed. And I broke up so many times during that scene. Plus, while eating spaghetti with maple syrup." "I actually did eat it. I’ve had worse, but it’s not my dream food."

AND FINALLY

A new country song was just released called "Cold Beer" from the "There I Ruined It" guys. It's a mashup of 50 different country artists singing the phrase "cold beer" over and over. (Which country stars do you hear in the song?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR2pslqKNP8
