Besides the huge Oscar flub from Sunday night – there’s something else to talk about: Elton John hosting the 25th annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party, rounding up Sting and Adam Lambert.

We are still waiting on confirmation of a new AC/DC album with the help of Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose. Last week we heard rumors that we could get a new album in 2018 - but so far we have not gotten word from either band's representatives.
