February 2nd sure is a busy day: it's Groundhog Day, Shakira's 34th birthday, and last but not least, the glorious day when Lost returns to the tee-vee to start its sixth and final season. All you Losties out there, try not to weep into your coffee as you check out the mix:
Did You Hear?
:: File this under "Things We Would Give Our First Born Child To See Happen": Mariah Carey and Courtney Love almost collaborated together on a song. We can't believe we 're saying this, but Mariah is way too put together nowadays to rock out with Courtney. [Spinner]
:: We missed one important celebrity tweet from Grammy night — the one where Trent Reznor spouts his distaste for the industry's celebration of "puppets". Hey, Trent, Nine Inch Nails has won two Grammys in the past, let's not call the kettle black quite yet, shall we? [Pitchfork]
:: How precious does Drake look walking in to the Grammys with his teeny-tiny mom? We wish she hopped onstage and filled in for Kanye West during "Forever." [Rap Up]
:: It's been almost two full days since Taylor Swift won Album of the Year, which means it's high time for the backlash to begin. Hey Kanye, you can go out in public again. [PopEater]
:: Angry fans pelted Pete Doherty with bagels when the Babyshambles singer showed up late to a Moscow gig. Some questions: 1) He still has fans? 2) Did fans expect punctuality from the man who once smoked crack with a kitten? 3) What did bagels ever do to deserve such a horrid punishment? [Celebuzz]
Behind the jump: we get our Lost on with two musical clips that will pump us up for the Season 6 premiere tonight.

Idolator's American Idolatry
VIDEO: Simon’s ‘Idol’ Legacy—His Best And Worst Calls
7:30 AM on Tue Jan 12 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Simon Cowell may have just rendered the biggest judgment call of his career with his decision to bid farewell to American Idol. But what is his real legacy as a talent spotter? Before he calls in his manservants to ship his tight black shirts over to The X Factor, we decided to take a look back at Simon's best — and worst — judgments on Idol. No question, he possesses keen insight. But maybe there's also a reason the final voting is left up to America.

‘Time’ Thinks Taylor Swift And Adam Lambert Mattered In 2009
8:56 AM on Wed Dec 16 2009 by Robbie Daw
Following up with Time’s list of the Top 10 Albums Of 2009 comes the publication’s Person Of The Year issue. Alas, neither Taylor Swift or Adam Lambert nailed that title. But they did make the mag’s list of 25 People Who Mattered this year (along with folks like Tiger Woods, Barack Obama, Sarah Palin and the Twitter Guys).
Award show staple Swift landed at #20 on Time’s round-up, while Lambert comes in at #7. More »

2010 Grammy Nominees Predictions And Wish List
1:10 PM on Tue Dec 1 2009 by Robbie Daw
We’re down to just one day before the announcement of the 2010 Grammy nominations, and before the academy makes it all official we figured we’d weigh in with some thoughts on who’s likely to be singled out. (For the love of God, no “Boom Boom Pow”!) The lucky nominees will be announced tomorrow night during CBS’s LL Cool J-hosted The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!!—Countdown To Music’s Biggest Night telecast, which is slated to include performances from the Black Eyed Peas, Nick Jonas, Sugarland and Maxwell.
Right off the bat, we’ll go out on a short limb and acknowledge that Beyonce, Green Day and Taylor Swift are probably all shoe-ins for numerous nominations. Also, it’s already clear that it’s a no-go for Lady Gaga in the Best New Artist category. Still, we’re crossing our fingers that the Recording Academy will throw a curve ball or two this year, if for no other reason than to stand out from some of the more recent yawn-inducing awards show choices.
Below are our predictions for who’s probably going to make the ballot in the four main categories of the Grammy fest’s general field, based on such scientific data as the strength of our gag reflex when we review lists of the various tunes radio programmers jammed down our throats during the past 12 months. But screw the obvious! We also included our own wish list of picks for who ought to receive nods for Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Record Of The Year and Best New Artist. More »

The American Music Awards: Surprises, Stage Falls and Simulated Sex
11:25 AM on Mon Nov 23 2009 by Becky Bain
“Last nights AMAs seems to have met all 3 award show requirements: a staged controversy, a gaffe and a triumph.” Couldn’t have said it any better myself, John Mayer’s Twitter. Let’s take a closer look at last night’s zany show, complete with performance videos: More »

Liveblogging the 2009 American Music Awards: Let’s Count Lady Gaga’s Outfits Together
7:47 PM on Sun Nov 22 2009 by Becky Bain
Heya folks, tonight’s the American Music Awards (one step below The Grammys and two steps above the People’s Choice Awards) and we’re here to liveblog the whole thee-hour shebang! Now that Mad Men’s wrapped up for the season, you’ve got no excuse not to tune in to see every last pop star try to outshine one another—with their performances, their outfits, or by just being an a-hole on-air. (Somebody’s gotta play the villain role in Kanye’s absence.) After the epic VMAs back in September, the AMAs have a lot to live up to in terms of incessantly-talked-about watercooler moments: if one drunken throw-down doesn’t take place, if Jennifer Lopez doesn’t stumble to the ground while prancing around in her Loubies, or if Lady Gaga refrains from terrifying us with a pantsless performance peppered with bodily fluids, we’re calling it a snoozefest. Onto the awards! More »

Taylor Swift Makes CMA History
10:00 AM on Thu Nov 12 2009 by Robbie Daw
Major props to Taylor Swift for swooping into Nashville’s Sommet Center and seizing the Female Vocalist, Album Of The Year, Video Of The Year and Entertainer Of The Year categories at the Country Music Association Awards last night. This is probably the point where you insert a Kanye West joke, but let’s just skip over that.
“I will never forget this moment, because in this moment everything I have ever wanted has just happened to me,” the teary-eyed 19-year-old said when she took to the stage after becoming the youngest artist to ever clinch the Entertainer Of The Year award at the annual CMA event. More »

If Only The People’s Choice Awards Had Included These Artists
6:21 PM on Wed Nov 11 2009 by Robbie Daw
And so today brings the final nominees list for the People’s Choice Awards, a roundup of the some of the less-challenging artists and material from the past year or so. And—yippee!—this was the first year that “we, the people” were allowed to have somewhat of a say in the nominees. But despite this privilege, snubs still abound in the music categories. More »

Making A Joke About The Stale Nature Of Kanye/Taylor Swift Jokes Is The New Making Kanye/Taylor Swift Jokes
6:00 PM on Wed Nov 4 2009 by Maura
Above, a preview of a promo for this week’s Saturday Night Live, which will feature Taylor Swift performing and hosting. Why do I have a feeling that Swift’s eye-rolling at Bill Hader’s insistence on making a Kanye joke doesn’t necessarily mean that there won’t be three or four or 10 references to the notorious Video Music Awards incident during the 90 minutes of this week’s program? Oh right, because of SNL’s writing staff, which never met a joke it couldn’t bludgeon to death. [MTV] More »
