'90s rock star Scott Stapp is homeless, the Creed frontman revealed in a new video Wednesday. Stapp addresses the rumors that he was "dead" and "on drugs," but then admits to fans he's been living in his truck. "About eight weeks ago, I began an audit [and found] a lot of money was stolen from me, or royalties not paid, and that's when all hell began to break loose," he adds. Stapp's wife Jaclyn, a former Miss New York USA, recently filed for divorce and claims the 41-year-old singer "has threatened to kill himself and harm his family." TMZ reports police have done a wellness check on both the couple and Stapp's three kids and found no immediate concerns.

Get up on this: Salt-N-Pepa has reunited to give new meaning to their hit song "Push It." The hip-hop duo stars in a silly Geico commercial with DJ Spinderella, popping up in everyday situations where people push stuff: Elevator buttons, lawnmowers, moms giving birth, etc. "If you're Salt-n-Pepa, you tell people to 'push it.' It's what you do."the ad says. "If you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to GEICO. It's what you do." Ooh, baby, baby.

What would happen if Batman fought Darth Vader? That'll never happen in a movie, but one YouTube video brilliantly brings to life the Dark Knight taking on the Dark Side on the Death Star. The dialogue's pretty cheesy, but the action is awesome -- and the winner may surprise you. The short clip was created by Machinima Prime, the same YouTube channel behind "Assassin's Creed: The Musical" and other fight videos like "Green Ranger vs. Ryu" and "Kickass vs. Casey Jones."

And James Cameron is super-excited about the upcoming "Avatar" sequels. The filmmaker behind box office smashes like "Terminator 2," "Titanic" and (duh) "Avatar" is filming "Avatar 2," "3" and "4" back-to-back to be released in December 2016, 2017 and 2018. "They're gonna be bitchin'," Cameron told Empire magazine. "You will sh-t yourself with your mouth wide open." That's quite a bold prediction, sir.
