Are They Or Aren't They?

Are they or aren’t they? That’s the question surrounding Chris Brown and Rihanna, who have reunited as close friends if not lovers. The possibly-rekindled romance is hardly a surprise, given their sexually-charged musical collaborations earlier this year, and Ri Ri’s tearful confession to Oprah that she still loves him. More »

Oh, good. More controversy! After some drama in seemingly every city she’s stopped in, Madonna caught some flack for the violent imagery of her MDNA show, which features gun a-blazin’ during the segment of the show containing her equally trigger-happy song “Gang Bang.” Why’s everyone so mad at Madge this time? Well, this particular show was in Colorado, where the tragic Aurora massacre took place in a movie theater just three months ago. More »

Taylor Swift‘s Red album has leaked ahead of schedule (regrettably, for Swift and her team), but the good news is that the songs that have begun to circulate suggest, even more than the promotional singles Swift previewed on Good Morning America, that Red might just be the best album of her career. Consider the album track “22,” reportedly produced — like  “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together“ and “I Knew You Were Trouble.” — by Max Martin and Shellback, which has “single” written all over it, and in a big way. Hear it below. More »

usher We Will Always Love You: A GRAMMY Salute to Whitney Houston - Show
Usher's Tribute

The hour-long, star-studded TV special We Will Always Love You: A Grammy Salute to Whitney Houston taped live at the Nokia Theater on October 11. And while the show won’t air on CBS until November 13 (the same day the compilation I Will Always Love You – The Best of Whitney Houston will be released), footage of Usher‘s tribute to the legend popped up online. The above video doesn’t give the best view of Usher performing Houston‘s version of The Four Tops‘ “I Believe In You And Me” — but the touching tribute’s audio is clear. More »

When MTV News asked Nick Jonas about why his talks to become an American Idol judge stalled this summer, he said it was because “it wasn’t right on both sides.” Makes sense, considering the Jonas Brothers were prepping their reunion show at Radio City and a new album. When asked about his take on the high-drama judges Idol ultimately decided on, Nick played it like a politician, saying “I think the panel they have is pretty solid; it’s going to be highly entertaining.”

The other brothers, though, were a little cheekier in their analysis of the Nicki Minaj-Mariah Carey situation. Check it out up top.

Lady Gaga is all about Versace this week — she not only dined at the Palazzo Versace with Donatella Versace herself, she strutted through the streets of Milan in an iconic Versace dress. Mother Monster was spotted on Tuesday (October 2) making her way through a mob fans as she along with photographer (and longtime collaborator) Terry Richardson in a black gown with a plunging neckline and gold safety pins, best remembered when actress Elizabeth Hurley wore the number back in 1994. Perhaps as part of her Body Revolution 2013, the pop star is making every effort to show off her fantastic figure. If that’s the case then we fully support you in that decision, Gaga!

Another week on The Voice, and NBC still has yet to approve a budget increase to allow Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine a wardrobe change. Cee Lo Green has yet to request one: he’s still really comfy in his silk pajamas, even if he has been wearing them all season. Who can blame him?

Blake starts the show by pontificating about the anticipation before auditions, and explains that when he hears something he likes, he hits the button. Very good, Blake – that is how The Voice works. In fairness, this might have been a subtle review of button operation for Christina’s benefit, as she’s taken to waving her hands over the button like a crystal ball reader instead of actually pressing it for most contestants.

As the new face of H&M, you might expect Lana Del Rey to depart a bit from her own moody, offbeat stylings. But no! A new commercial for H&M’s fall collection reveals that Lana is just as morose as ever, crooning the 50′s tune “Blue Velvet” as Lana lookalikes watch judgmentally and a dwarf pulls the plug on her tunes. Ouch! That’s almost as harsh as the reception to her Saturday Night Live debacle… More »

The Kanye West Cruel Summer leak gave us an early look at the latest phase of West’s career — an empire-builder managing beats and talent via G.O.O.D. Music — but another leak is giving us a peek into phase one of his career. The above video has surfaced online of Kanye rapping with his mother, Dr. Donda West, purportedly from 2003 before Ye’s debut The College Dropout changed the rap game. More »
