Have you ever sat back, took a long sip of root beer, and wondered, "What's the Kiss song 'I'm In Need of Love' really about?" The answer can be found on a Tumblr blog called Kiss Songs Explained (via Amp Kiss expert Chuck Klosterman) that does just that, in one sentence or less. In this case: "Ace [Frehley] looks for romance while under the influence of a powerful, weapons-grade hallucinogen." Since it's Kiss we're talking about, in truth the blog's directive could be "Kiss songs explained in one word or less." That word, of course, is sex.

As the site's author explained when it launched over last summer, "I poke a little fun at the band's lyrical choices and personal foibles on this blog, but it is all in fun and is certainly coming from a place of respect and admiration. I love Kiss. To me they will always be larger than life." Kiss have a fairly massive discography, so this is one dedicated superfan.

Last we heard from Gucci Mane, the rapper was hoping to stave off an "inevitable" return trip to prison by filing a "Special Plea of Mental Incompetency," or pleading insanity. Gucci was then shipped off to a mental health facility to determine just how "unable to intelligently participate in the probation revocation hearing" he really was. Just days after leaving the facility, apparently unsatisfied with his performance for docs, Gucci upped the ante by going to his local tattoo parlor and having that monstrosity above inked into his face: a big three-scoop ice cream cone, complete with red lightning bolts and his trademark phrase, "Brrr." We're not sure where the doctors stand all on this, but it's safe to assume that Gucci is not a sane individual.

Hip Hop Wired reports that the ice cream tattoo is the handiwork of artist Shane Willoughby, whose masterpiece was then posted on the Twitter of co-worker Jason Murray. We can only imagine the look on the judge's face the next time Gucci

It's been three months since "Borat" actor Sacha Baron Cohen revealed he'd take on the role of Freddie Mercury in a Queen biopic, but like many films that Hollywood announces, the road from pre-production to actual production doesn't always go smoothly (case in point, Eminem's "Southpaw," which has now taken a backseat to "Random Acts of Violence"). But Roger Taylor and Brian May gave a progress report on the Queen biopic to fansite Queen Online (via The Playlist), and it appears the film will begin shooting later this year with an autumn 2012 release date planned.

"Work is now fully underway for the much-vaunted feature film on the life of Freddie," Queen told fans. "[Screenwriter] Peter Morgan has delivered a first draft of the movie, which everyone is very excited about, and Sacha Baron Cohen is chomping at the bit to get into the role, in a way which certainly would delight Freddie!" Song licenses -- often a sticking point that derails music biopics -- won't be an issue this time

Beyoncé is concentrating in the studio, and yet she is not wearing the eyewear preferred by music superstars when they are communicating that they are doing Very Serious Work. Like the ones Jay-Z wears when he's giving lectures at the New York Public Library, or Justin Timberlake dons when he's discussing serious films (and not Yogi Bear). While they're not the glasses B wears when she's just bein' fierce or watching 3-D Michael Jackson footage, they don't appear to be prescription.

According to a series of tweets from producer Symbolyc One (via ONTD and BeyonceFan), Beyoncé is indeed hard at work on her next album in New York and sessions have been "CRAZY" because they are of course turning out some "Monsters!" Yes, monsters: Not just for 2010 anymore.
