Attention, Emo Kids: Evanescence Is Reuniting So You Can Feel Things Again

In news sure to please anyone who was a teenager in the mid-2000s, Evanescence band members have announced they will be reuniting for a limited series of shows this November.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, singer Amy Lee confirmed the band would be getting back together to play concerts in Nashville, Dallas, and L.A. before heading to Tokyo, Japan, for a headlining spot at Ozzfest on Nov. 21.

"We got offered to do Ozzfest Japan in the beginning of the year, so I was like 'Let's say yes to that,'" Lee told Rolling Stone. "I just added the three U.S. dates on to it so we could get a little practice before doing a big gig where everything is out of your control."
The band will be at Nashville's Marathon Music Works on Nov. 13, Dallas' South Side Ballroom on Nov. 15, and Los Angeles' Wiltern on Nov. 17, according to the group's official website.
The band has been on "hiatus" for three years, in which time Lee has pursued something of a solo-career, which has also included scoring films.
But she said she felt drawn back to the group, and was touched by fans' continued love for their angst-filled songs.
"It's such a wonderful gift to have this bag of songs that people know," she said. "It makes me very happy to sing 'Bring Me to Life.' I don't feel so disconnected that I can't sing 'My Immortal,' [though] that's just not completely who I am anymore.
"Yes, I have grown since then. I wouldn't write that song today, but it's become a beautiful part of my history and my fans," she said.
There are no apparent plans for any new music as yet, but Lee did hint at further appearances next year.
"It will be good to see the fans again," she said. "I'm going to be keeping my eye open to us for more opportunities. Like probably next year."
In the meantime, this should get you and your ~feelings~ through until then:

The Definitive Ranking Of Every "Treehouse Of Horror" Segment On "The Simpsons"
via BuzzFeed
I was saying “BOO!” (Urns.)
"The Diving Bell and the Butterball"
Episode: "Treehouse of Horror XXII"
Year: 2011
A parody of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly feels tasteless — and worse, not seasonally appropriate. In recent years, too many "Treehouse of Horror" entries have focused more on movie parodies and less on Halloween. And this segment, an endless fart joke that gets even worse with a weak Spider-Man twist, is nearly unwatchable.
FOX
"In the Na'vi"
Episode: "Treehouse of Horror XXII"
Year: 2011
From the same episode as "The Diving Bell and the Butterball" comes another movie parody that's only slightly more competent. And while Bart and Milhouse do make great Rigellians in this send-up of Avatar, it's neither funny nor engaging. Plus, the subplot about Bart getting an alien pregnant is actively uncomfortable. He's 10!
FOX
"Untitled Robot Parody"
Episode: "Treehouse of Horror XIX"
Year: 2008
The Simpsons takes on Transformers — again, not a horror franchise! Not only that, but Transformers is a bad franchise, and this segment does little to comment on the crappy movies themselves, instead focusing on mind-numbing robot battles and visual gags, only one of which (the crying nacho cheese machine) is memorable.
FOX
"Reaper Madness"
Episode: "Treehouse of Horror XIV"
Year: 2003
There are few criticisms more damning to an episode of The Simpsons than "Family Guy did it first." But in this case, it did! And better. There are some good moments of Homer as Death, indiscriminately killing people because of course he would, but there's also Homer outrunning God on a motorcycle and Death chasing Bart while Benny Hill music plays. Yikes.

Janice Dickinson Will Seek To Depose Bill Cosby
via BuzzFeed
Documents obtained by BuzzFeed News reveal that Dickinson’s attorney will argue next week that Cosby should be deposed in the former model’s defamation lawsuit.

In November of last year, Janice Dickinson — the former model and reality television mainstay — came forward to accuse Bill Cosby of having raped her in 1982. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, she alleged that Cosby had flown her to Lake Tahoe with the promise that he would help her career. Instead, she said, he allegedly gave her wine and a pill, and then sexually assaulted her.
Dickinson's story was similar to the pattern described by other Cosby accusers at the time. In the immediate aftermath of what Dickinson said, Netflix canceled a Cosby comedy special set to air later that month, and NBC scuttled its plans to create a family comedy around the formerly beloved comedian. TV Land also pulled reruns of The Cosby Show from its lineup.
When Dickinson came forward, Cosby had been facing a torrent of rape accusations, both old and new. Cosby himself has never spoken about any of the allegations — which now number more than 50 — nor has he publicly discussed the lawsuit he settled with Andrea Constand in 2006, who had accused him of drugging and molesting her.
But his attorney at the time, Martin D. Singer, did issue statements on his behalf, which now serve as the basis for Dickinson's defamation lawsuit against Cosby. In a letter to BuzzFeed News last year, published in its entirety here, Singer called Dickinson's claims "false and outlandish," and said she had "completely fabricated the story of alleged rape." Singer also accused Dickinson of lying about not including her accusations against Cosby in her memoir for fear of being sued.
Singer no longer represents Cosby, which was first reported by The New York Times last week.
Entertainment Tonight
On Monday, Nov. 2, Dickinson's attorney, Lisa Bloom, will argue that her client's defamation lawsuit against Cosby should be allowed to proceed, and that she should be able to depose both Cosby and Singer. In documents filed this week in Los Angeles and reviewed by BuzzFeed News, Bloom cites, among other things, a recent Massachusetts court's decision to allow another defamation lawsuit from three other accusers to proceed. She also cites Cosby's 2005 deposition in the Constand suit — unsealed in July 2015 — in which Cosby admitted under oath that he had given sedatives to women with whom he wanted to have sex.
In Dickinson's declaration, also filed this week in Los Angeles and obtained by BuzzFeed News, she retells her story about Cosby as well as why she did not include her allegations of rape in her memoir. She cites several people she has told the story to over the years, including her book's ghostwriter and the publisher of Dickinson's book, Judith Regan. She also specifies that in a 2006 appearance on The Howard Stern Show, she said, "The guy's a bad guy. Let me just say that. He preys on women that just come out of rehab."
Dickinson, who will have to prove malice in order to win this lawsuit, says her "peace of mind has been shattered" because of Cosby's camp saying she had lied about the alleged rape.
"I am not a liar," Dickinson's declaration states. "I am speaking the truth. Bill Cosby drugged and raped me. It was one of the worst experiences in my life."
Singer did not respond to a request to comment. Cosby's representative wrote in an email response to BuzzFeed News, "What will be posted from our opposition?" and then did not reply again.

9 Celebrities As Zombies And Some Undead Fiction

When I was in fifth or sixth grade I used to write really weird thrillers --- think R.L. Stine's Fear Street series, but written by a kid --- and read them to my class.
Anyway, I was no Tina Belcher --- I'm still not --- but I figured why not be the young me I used to be and write some zombie fiction.
