Hope Olaide Wilson

The star of Tyler Perry’s next comedy, I Can Do Bad All by Myself, gives us a glimpse at some of her favorite tunes

A Taste:

Bob Dylan, The Fugees, Dave Matthews Band

Hope Olaide Wilson has got the new Black Eyed Peas song, “Boom Boom Pow,” stuck in her head at the moment.

She laughs, “I can’t tell if I hate it or I love it, but I’m always singing it!”

Fergie and Co. tend to have that effect. Hope is the star of Tyler Perry’s forthcoming fall comedy, I Can Do Bad All By Myself [Lions Gate], and she happens to have quite a diverse musical palette. In this exclusive feature for ARTISTdirect.com, Hope opened up her iTunes and shared what she’s spinning.

Adam Brody

The Death In Love star shares his playlist with ARTISTdirect.com in this exclusive feature…he also tells us why Bob Dylan’s the man…

A Taste:

Bob Dylan, Arctic Monkeys, The French Kicks

Adam Brody’s feeling quite inspired lately.

Maybe it’s the fact that he’s in one of the most intriguing dramas of the year, Death In Love. Or maybe it’s because he’s got the dark and sexy Jennifer’s Body with Megan Fox on the horizon for September. Most likely though, his state of inspiration is because he’s going through a series re-education musically.

“Music is a big part of my life so I try to take it with me in whatever I do. I’ve been on a real classic rock kick lately though,” laughs Brody.

That “classic rock” kick has inspired him to check out all kinds of stuff that was under his nose for years but he never delved into until now. Brody turned his iPod and gave ARTISTdirect.com an exclusive look at what’s rocking his world right now.

Check out his playlist below and don’t miss his incendiary performance in Death In Love out now.

Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots

Stone Temple Pilots main man Scott Weiland gives us an education in the real holy trinity of musicians…

A Taste:  

The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan

Scott Weiland has very good taste.

The Stone Temple Pilots frontman has always dressed debonaire on stage, but his musical taste is equally refined. In fact, glancing at Scott’s playlist shines a little bit of light on this enigmatic legend’s inimitable presence.

Sitting in the studio between recording takes for Stone Temple Pilots’ next offering, he smiles and says, “Recently, my playlist has literally just been The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and Bob Dylan for about the last two weeks. I grew up with those artists. I was even turned on to them by my father—my natural father.”

The Stones, Beatles and Dylan have a secured spot in Weiland’s heart the same way Stone Temple Pilots takes up permanent residency in the souls of millions of fans. After working some more, Weiland opened up his iTunes and gave ARTISTdirect.com an exclusive look at what he’s spinning.

Check out his playlist below and, if you’re in Los Angeles, catch Stone Temple Pilots on July 1st at St. Jude’s Rock N’ Roll Hope Show.

Justin Bartha

Justin Bartha, The Hangover’s Doug, opens up his iTunes and gives us an exclusive pick at what he’s spinning…

A Taste:

Q-Tip, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan

“Vegas is the best way to ruin your life with your friends,” laughs Justin Bartha.

After filming The Hangover in Sin City, Bartha would know best. In the film, which happens to be the funniest comedy so far this year, Bartha’s Doug goes to Vegas with the boys for one last hurrah two nights before his wedding. However, after a legendary night of debauchery, he’s missing and his three best pals have no clue what happened. That’s when the real fun begins.

Each actor in the film, Bartha, Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis has his own style of comedy, but the blend is beyond tasty when they come together.

Bartha continues, “We all hit it off right away. It’s like Stanivlovsky up in this piece [Laughs]. Everyone’s doing his own thing, and the mix is just perfect.”

Bartha opened up his iTunes and gave us an exclusive look at what he’s spinning. Check out his playlist below and make sure to catch The Hangover in theaters everywhere on June 5!
