August 13th, 2010 // 4 Comments

All that “campaigning” on Wednesday night must have worked because SYTYCD‘s lone girl standing, Lauren Froderman, took home the title of America’s Favorite Dancer last night! Speaking of favorites, Thursday’s finale also gave us a look back at the judges’ (including Mary Murphy!) most beloved dances from this season. Jump below for a look at how Lauren managed to steal the SYTYCD crown from Wonder Boy Kent, and who after last night has become Idolator’s Least Favorite Dancer.

August 1st, 2010 // Leave a Comment

We knew from the moment we saw those whipped-cream-spewing bra cups that Katy Perry had plans to crank up the cheeky humor on this album, and now it’s clear. No one else but our favorite popsicle melter would demand to see “what you’re hiding underneath” quite the way she does in her just unveiled (and likely next-to-be-chart topping) single, “Peacock.” Katy debuted the infectious pop jam this weekend at MTVs World Stage Show 2010 and got the crowd in a tizzy.

The Morning Mix: Drake Blasts Rihanna For Her Manizing Ways

June 10th, 2010 // Leave a Comment

Did You Hear?

:: Drake tells the New York Times that he was Rihanna’s “pawn”— that the two of them were, in fact, seeing one another last year, and “She was doing exactly what I’ve done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear… this feels terrible.” We guess you got a taste of your own medicine, Drizzy. [Rap Radar]

:: Ricky Martin will star as Che in the 2012 Broadway revival of Evita. We want to make a joke, but in all honesty, our little musical theatre-loving hearts are stoked. Can Gaga play Eva Peron? She’s already got the morose look down already. [Vulture]

:: Corey Feldman paid tribute to his long lost pal Michael Jackson by singing and dancing on stage as the Gloved One during a Goonies reunion show. As if MJ hasn’t been through enough the past year. [E! Online]

:: Anyone else getting a Kill Bill vibe from Christina Aguilera’s see-through trenchcoat? [Just Jared]

:: Who knew that Lil Kim is the newest Kardashian sister? [MTV Buzzworthy]

:: Want to win a superexclusive Taio Cruz giveaway? All you have to do is enter by naming a Cruz song. Easy! [Mr. Will-W]

50 Cent Drops 54 Pounds, We Drop Our Jaws

May 26th, 2010 // 3 Comments

We guess 50 Cent is really serious about becoming an actor, because the hip-hop star Christian Bale’d himself for his latest movie role. Curtis Jackson dropped 54 lbs. to play a football player with cancer in the upcoming drama Things Fall Apart, basically starving himself on a liquid diet. He’s back on tour and getting back into shape, but for Fiddy’s sake, we hope the movie turns out to be worth the work. If you can stomach the gaunt look, there are a few more shocking photos of his weight loss over at This Is 50 and Rap Radar, courtesy of Us Weekly.

JLS Salute ‘The Sound Of Music’ In Latest Single “The Club Is Alive”

May 19th, 2010 // 5 Comments

British pop quartet JLS revealed the single art for their dance track “The Club Is Alive,” and it features all four members stopping traffic with their fierce, dreamy-eyed stares. (Though we have to agree with Pop Justice that JB looks kind of glum in the pic—maybe he’s concerned about Aston’s inability to keep his eyes on the road?) Listen to the lads’ single, which includes an interesting nod to one particular Broadway show. More »

Ciara Returns With New Single “Ride”, But Gosh, We Can’t Tell What It’s About

April 14th, 2010 // 7 Comments

After earning mixed-to-poor reviews for her unofficial single “Speechless”, Ciara is back with a proper track, and it’s a hot one. “Ride”, the “official” first track from her fourth album, isn’t going to win her any awards for subtlety (the hook is “He loves the way I ride it” — but it turns out she’s referring to the beat, of course. Oh, what did you think she meant?). But her longtime partners Tricky Stewart and The-Dream may have put Ciara back on the map with this one. Check it below.

PHOTOS: Before She Stripped For “Window Seat”, Erykah Badu Loved Hats

March 31st, 2010 // 4 Comments

Erykah Badu has always been a woman of conviction, finding a way to express her beliefs through her music or her activism. Most recently she channeled that energy into a controversial music video for her single “Window Seat”. In the clip, Badu stripped naked and walked nude through the Dallas plaza where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. But it seems that, outside of creating thought-provoking art, the “First Lady of Neo-Soul”‘s first love is and always will be: hats. What kind of hats? All kinds. Floppy hats, baseball caps, knit caps, you name it. If it goes on your head, Erykah will probably wear it (and wear it well). Wondering what to get Erykah Badu for Christmas this year? Try a hat. Or a gift certificate to The Hat Store. Flip through this gallery for Erykah Badu wearing bowlers, derbys, fedoras, top hats, and more.

Ne-Yo and his entourage took a Segway of Miami yesterday. Perhaps the Year Of the Gentleman singer was out in search of his own Miss Independent or maybe he was just taking in the sights of the Sunshine State. Flip through to see how the dapper and suave Ne-Yo can even make Segway riding seem cool—sort of.
