12:11 PM on Tue Feb 9 2010 by Becky Bain
Joe Jackson went on Larry King Live last night to discuss the charges against Dr. Conrad Murray, now released on $75,000 bail. "I didn't like those charges.

MGMT Inspired By Lady Gaga On Nine-Song Sophomore Album ‘Congratulations’
9:02 AM on Tue Feb 9 2010 by Robbie Daw
They didn't nab either of the two Grammys they were up for last week, but no matter—synthy hipsters MGMT are moving on to brighter things, like their sophomore album Congratulations.
"It's definitely going to shock people," Andrew Vanwyngarden, one half of the duo, told Spin of the new album (due out April 13). "We dropped any sort of irony that was on the first record, and Congratulations feels true to who we really are."
And who are they really? Apparently a band whose influences this time around ranged from surfing to Lady Gaga. More »

On the eve before his sentencing in a Manhattan court today—where he's expected to be carted off to prison to serve a one-year term—Lil Wayne shot an hour-long video with Young Money member Lil Twist.
The UStream clip, posted at Rap-Up, meanders through bouts of honest moments, in-jokes, rambling and some definite NSFW moments. But all the while Weezy remains upbeat. "So tonight's my last night, I ain't got no p****," he says. "I came to the studio to get some work done... So to all you artists out there, that should be some kind of message or example."

1:40 PM on Mon Feb 8 2010 by Robbie Daw
Barbz were put on high alert yesterday after Nicki Minaj tweeted an "all points bulletin" stating that her stuffed pink monkey Oscar went missing after a flight from New York to Miami. The world was first introduced to the cute ball of synthetic fur when Minaj was snapped while carrying it on her way to the Late Show With David Letterman set last week.

Hollywood Can Breathe Easy—Ke$ha’s Prank A Hoax
4:31 PM on Fri Feb 5 2010 by Becky Bain
In case you were truly concerned that Ke$ha and her buds had actually defamed the iconic Hollywood sign by spray-painting the rambuctious pop singer's name on it, you can sleep well tonight: it was just a hoax. (Whew!) EW's Music Mix contacted the Hollywood Sign Trust and they assured that not only had no vandalism taken place at the site, a prank like that would be virtually impossible to accomplish. Since the only true obstacle was her imagination, we're just left wondering why Ke$ha didn't spring for a more creative prank to punk the world. Tweeting that she's carrying Grammy co-presenter Justin Bieber's love child? Now that we could see causing an uproar.

Lady Gaga Explains Her “We Are The World” No-Show
11:22 AM on Fri Feb 5 2010 by Robbie Daw
Lady Gaga appears to be scaling down her to-do list after a bout of exhaustion caused her to cancel a handful of live dates last month. Despite reports that she'd be involved, the Grammy winner surprisingly never showed up for the all-star recording of "We Are The World," which is being released to raise money for Haiti earthquake relief efforts.
“I’ve actually been in rehearsal for my new tour, but I was never supposed to do ‘We Are The World.’ So that’s a rumor,” Gaga told Access Hollywood's Billy Bush. So why, exactly, did she sit the recording out? More »
