Following the release of the "RagePack" CD/DVD this fall, Machine Gun Kelly will release a "Half Naked and Almost Famous" DVD. This will come before he releases his debut album. He announced this on his Facebook this evening.
Diddy and Jimmy Iovine will both serve as Executive Editors on "Culo," the upcoming book of photos and artwork from Raphael Mazzucco, which pays tribute to the female bottom. According to the book's website, culo, in Italian, translates to "Buttocks, bottom." The book is set for a November 22 release and can be pre-ordered from Amazon.com.
