If you’re in need of cool internship to help the summer fly by, then the Wu-Tang Clan might just have the opportunity for you. The rap group’s management team have taken to Craigslist (of all places) to advertise for a ‘social network manager’ to help them beef up their online presence.

These guys could be your new work colleagues

We’ve got to admit that having ‘worked for the Wu-Tang Clan’ on your CV would be pretty impressive and at first glance the advertised job does sound pretty fun. The listing, which was posted 2 days ago on the classified site, lists ‘Wu-Tang Management Social Network Manager’ as the job title. The role will be based out of New Jersey (which rules us out) and appears to be a full time position, where we’re guessing you’ll end up immersed in that wacky Wu-Tang world.

Doctors have been able to reattach Andre Johnson's penis after he cut it off and jumped from a second story balcony in a widely reported suicide attempt on Wednesday. The Wu-Tang Clan-affiliated rapper was rushed to L.A's Cedars-Sinai hospital where he is said to be safe but unfortunately will not be able to see his member successfully reattached, according to TMZ.

Wu-Tang Clan Have Disputed The Link With Rapper Andre Johnson.

Johnson, AKA Christ Bearer, is a member of the group Northstar, which was founded by Wu-Tang Clan member RZA. Apparently RZA hasn't done work with the group for several years and the hip hop collective has even gone as far as to distance itself from the rapper and his actions, sending out a now-deleted website post saying "Parental Advisory : Don't Believe The HYPE. This Mother F***er Ain't Got S**t to do with The WUTANG Brand," according to Gawker.

Gwyneth Paltrow & Chris Martin Split: Actress Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin announced this week that they were splitting up. Well, instead they described their split as a "conscious uncoupling," a phrase that drew scorn and mockery from the internet. The pair had reportedly been testing their separation for a year and finally decided to go public. In an entry on the Iron Man star's website, the couple explained that being parents to their two children was the priority for them right now.

Ol' Dirty Bastard and Eazy-E (aka Russell Jones and Eric Wright) will play Rock The Bells, it has been confirmed. We know what you’re saying, ‘how can they do that? They’re dead.’ You’re right, but they’ll be performing via hologram – get with the times.

Rock The Bells, a touring hip-hop festival that features classic artists as well as fledging talents, will make the East Rutherford track its home, celebrating its tenth anniversary with a day at the races. Instead of fillies racing, it’ll be rappers performing – some of them posthumously. Of course, this isn’t the first time a dead rapper has performed live in hologram form. The Tupac hologram debuted at Coachella last year, but wasn’t as warmly received as first thought.

Of all the natural phenomena that could have threatened Wu Tang’s performance at Coachella, a sandstorm was the most ridiculous, and therefore, the most appropriate. The rap-group certainly overcame that obstacle to deliver a dominant performance.

"No disrespect to none of y'all," Raekwon reportedly told the audience during the set on Sunday night, "but we came to steal this sh--tonight." They then went on to play all their hits to an adoring crowd. Adoring doesn’t really cover it; they were raucous (but still adoring). A tribute to Ol' Dirty Bastard included renditions of "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" and "Brooklyn Zoo," respectively. On Friday (April 12), they announced that their new LP, A Better Tomorrow, will be released in July. It's their first album as a complete group since 2007's 8 Diagrams, which didn’t go down well with the fans and critics alike. Ghostface – perhaps the most successful soloist form the group – has new material out too. His new album, Twelve Reasons to Die, is in stores tomorrow and the group will be back at Coachella for its second performance next weekend.

The New York hip-hop legends Wu Tang Clan will be reuniting and playing the UK in celebration of their 20th anniversary. Featuring such iconic members as RZA, Raekwon, GZA and Ghostface Killah, the band are scheduled to perform a one-off dates in Manchester and London. On July 25, 2013, they will play Manchester’s O2 Apollo and the following day, they head to London to play Brixton Academy.

The band are releasing a brand new track ‘A Better Tomorrow’ to mark the passing of two decades since the release of their debut album Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). RZA, whose real name is Robert Fitzgerald Diggs, explained why the group felt that it was the right time to get back together, twenty years after they first catapulted to fame. And it sounds as though they’re trying to correct some of the imperfections that crept into their legacy. “We need to, one time, completely, efficiently, properly, professionally represent our brand. One more time. But this time, showing up on time for press and for concerts and studio. Do it one time, perfect… This may sound unbelievable, but I told the crew in the first basement meeting that from my calculations, and from what I’m feeling, this will last 20 years.”

Sadly, the band are, of course, missing original member Ol’ Dirty Bastard who died aged 35 back in 2004. RZA remains keen to press on with the reunion, despite the absence of his old band mate, though, Gigwise reports: “There's enough of us still alive, and I think there's still enough fans out there. Hip-hop is stronger than ever, as far as worldwide recognition, and our name is synonymous with it.”

The Bonnaroo 2013 lineup has been announced, with former Beatle Paul McCartney and Grammy winners Mumford & Sons topping the bill at the June event in Manchester, Tennessee. Other topline guests include veterans Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Icelandic singe Bjork, Wilco, the Wu-Tang Clan, A$AP Rocky and R. Kelly.

"Top to bottom, this is one of the strongest lineups we have ever had," Bonnaroo spokesman Jeff Cuellar said in an interview. "Looking at the festival landscape out there ... no other American festival has Mumford & Sons, Paul McCartney and Bjork all under one roof." The revellers at Bonnaroo - among the top live gatherings of the year - will no doubt agree, and this year's diverse lineup appears to offer something for everyone, particularly lower down the bill. Up to 100,000 fans will flock to the annual festival to see singers, comedians, arts and movies while enjoying unique performances from the likes of Weird Al Yankovic and ZZ Top. Former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne will also be in attendance, performing with St Vincent. 

Though many have praised this year's Bonnaroo lineup, many long-time fans have been left with a palpable sense of déjà vu. Mumford and Sons appeared at the festival in 2011, while Tom Petty closed the main stage in 2006. Wilco, Animal Collective and various other acts have also played prominent slots over the years.

They describe it as "4 of the best days ever" and "an escape into Excitement. Music. Art. Discoveries. Trees. Fresh Air. Green Grass... Friends (Old / New). Adventure. Overwhelming happiness. Hugging a stranger by accident. Sharing and Generosity. Bonnaroovian Dancing. Hyperbolic verbiage..." and the list goes on. Sounds good, right? Well, the line-up is even better, and suitable for all genres you may find yourself remotely interested in. 

Here's the best of the list, from the headliners down to the early stars: Paul McCartney, Grammy winners Mumford & Sons, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Bjork, R Kelly, Wu-Tang Clan, The National, The Lumineers, David Byrne, St Vincent, Passion Pit, The XX, Kendrick Lamar, Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective, Of Monsters and Men, Nas, ZZ Top, Beach House, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, A$AP Rocky, Tame Impala, Gaslight Anthem, Billy Idol, Foals, Local Natives, Alt-J, The Tallest Man on Earth, Earl Sweatshirt, The Vaccines, Frank Turner, Purity Ring... and once again, the list goes on.
