Weezer Bassist is super hot on the BuzzFeed Network right now. Here's all the best viral buzz on Weezer Bassist.
Celebrity Buzz The body of former Weezer bassist Mikey Welsh was discovered in his room at the Raffaello Hotel in Chicago on Saturday. Police say the 40-year-old was expected to check out around 1 p.m. yesterday, but it was around that time maid service found him unconscious and not breathing. An autopsy report is expected to be released by the Cook County Examiner's Office later today.

Music Buzz Miranda Cosgrove, star of iCarly, recently tweeted about her new song collaboration with Rivers Cuomo. Who hasn't the Weezer frontman worked with? Rap artist, pop artist, or rock, Rivers will work with you!
Music Buzz A Seattle man has started a campaign to offer Weezer $10 million in exchange for their promise to never make a record again. As a fan, he says he can no longer stand the disappointment. The “movement” has about $280 so far, but there are a lot of you out there with some really strong feelings about the post-Pinkerton era. You can donate here.
Jorge Garcia joined Rivers Cuomo at a secret show last night.
Weezer feature in the new Auto-Tune The News video using a track from their forthcoming album called Hurley. I'm slightly disappointed that there is no appearance from Senator Junkie Einstein or Katie Couric.
Weezer has teamed up with the Gregory brothers for their latest episode of auto-tune the news. Man, The Gregory Brothers are having quite the year. (Via)
Music Buzz It looks like Weezer's upcoming album isn't named after the Lost character “Hurley” after all. It has come out that the whole thing was just a gigantic promotion to get you to buy Weezer's new back to school clothing line “Hurley Rocks You Back to School” with Weezer—a “fashion and music collaboration.” Look out for Weezer's new line of Snuggies set to hit stores this Christmas.
This is Weezer on the Red Album as furries. And what’s even more disturbing than the concept itself is that Patrick Wilson and Scott Shriner appear to have breasts. You may now click the WTF button.
The album is called 'Hurley'. This is the actual album cover.
Blair Waldorf sang with Weezer on Halloween for reasons passing understanding. I've been having a Rivers Renaissance of late, so I'm pretty jealous. Related: Fuck/Chuck/Marry—Rivers Cuomo, Spike Jonze, and Edward Norton? Please share your thoughts.
Weezer ups both their hipster cred and pop cred at once when they cover Kids and Pokerface back to back. (via)
Tay Zonday of “Chocolate Rain” fame performs “Pork & Beans” acoustically with Brian on the set of the “Pork & Beans” video. He’s officially the indie nerd version of Lonelygirl15.
The video for the band’s new single brings almost all of YouTube’s celebrities together — it’s an Internet People music video. Numa Numa, evolution of dance, K-Fed, the dramatic chipmunk, Will It Blend, Lauren Caitlin Upton, the Mentos and Diet Coke guys, afro ninja, Tay Zonday, Chris Crocker: everyone’s here but the Star Wars kid. We list them in the links.
Music Buzz Weezer’s new album is supposedly a throwback to the essential Blue Album. It won’t be out until June 25th, but the speculated album cover has been floating around the internets. Is it just me or does Rivers Cuomo’s new Western look bear a striking resemblance to Jon Brennan from the second season of the Real World? Gaging by his outfit, the new album will be a cross between the Blue Album and “Boot-Scootin’ Boogie.”
