Sophia Grace And Her Hype Girl Show Off Their Swag On ‘Ellen’
Fri Feb 10 2012 by Becky Bain
Ellen DeGeneres' unofficial mascots Sophia Grace and her "hype girl" Rosie return to her daytime talk show once more. The darling British tots — in their usual princess garb, 'natch — perform Keri Hilson's "Turn My Swag On" (a much better choice than Keri's racy "The Way You Love Me", might we add). Sophia, of course, can't be stopped, and offers an original rap midway through the number. I think we just found Nicki Minaj's protege. Watch below! More »
Adele Sings “Rolling In The Deep” A Cappella For Anderson Cooper
Fri Feb 10 2012 by Becky Bain
For those concerned that Adele's voice may have been damaged or altered following her throat surgery, breathe easy — the singer sounds just as incredible as she always did. In a preview clip of Adele's pre-Grammy sit-down with Andersoon Cooper on 60 Minutes, the six-time nominee sings her hit single "Rolling In The Deep" a cappella (only because her manicured fingernails were too long to play the piano!). Watch below, and delight in the admission from Anderson that he jogs to "Rolling In The Deep" every morning. More »
Katharine McPhee Sings A New ‘Smash’ Song: “20th Century Mambo”
Thu Feb 9 2012 by Becky Bain
In Monday's upcoming episode of Smash, "Callbacks", we see Katharine McPhee (who plays aspiring actress Karen) continue the arduous audition process as she vies for the lead role of Marilyn Monroe in a musical based on the movie star's life. In the new number "20th Century Mambo", McPhee dances, sings and vamps as she transforms from sweet brunette Norma Jean into blonde bombshell Marilyn. Based on the pilot, we definitely thought Karen's competitor Ivy (played by Megan Hilty) had the part in the bag — now we're not so sure. Preview Kat's big number below! More »
Nicki Minaj & LL Cool J Ham It Up In Grammy Promos
Thu Feb 9 2012 by Robbie Daw
After getting snippy with Taylor Swift in a set of promo spots for this Sunday's Grammy Awards, host LL Cool J is now having a few faux-testy exchanges with Best New Artist nominee Nicki Minaj. In one clip, LL gushes that the Harajuku Barbie is an artist he loves. Much to his dissatisfaction, Minaj replies that she's been listening to him since she was "a baby." Ouch! In the second promo, the "Going Back To Cali" MC beatboxes while Nicki dances around. Finally she stops and chides, "You gotta speed it up! What's up?" Seems poor LL can't catch a break with anybody. Watch below.

The Wanted Get Grilled On ‘Chelsea Lately’
Thu Feb 9 2012 by Robbie Daw
Last night, Chelsea Handler couldn't help firing off a barrage of tongue-in-cheek questions at UK boy band The Wanted, who just wrapped up their inaugural US tour. "The five of you are all of age? I just want to make sure you're legal to penetrate," is how the blonde hostess started things off. Later she asked, "Were you arranged by some sort of Simon Cowell?" And then there was this one: "You guys are obviously all straight?" Oh, Chelsea.

Wed Feb 8 2012 by Robbie Daw
Kelly Rowland's summer jam "Motivation" is up for a Best Rap/Sung Collaboration Grammy, and the sultry singer hit up Chelsea Lately last night to talk, among other things, about how she came to work with Lil Wayne on the track.

‘The Voice’ Season 2: Alicia Keys’ Backup Singer Sparkles Like Cee Lo’s Pajamas
Mon Feb 6 2012 by Nicole Sia
After posting gangbusters ratings following the Super Bowl last night, The Voice returned for part two of the blind auditions. The show kicked off with the judges taking on a few of Prince's greatest hits in a pyrotechnic crowd-pleaser. Christina Aguilera, sporting a leather sort of Statue of Liberty crown, led on "Party Like it's 1999"; Cee Lo Green drove through "Little Red Corvette" in red sequined footie pajamas — appropriately; Adam Levine put his falsetto to good use on "I Wanna Be Your Lover"; and Blake Shelton wrapped country twang around "Kiss" for the finale. Then, it was on to the contestants! More »

Mon Feb 6 2012 by Becky Bain
Jimmy Fallon impersonations can brighten up any day, and last night brought out a whole pop-heavy assortment of them. During his post-Super Bowl special, Jimmy auditioned for the halftime show while dressed up as Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Eminem, Josh Groban, LMFAO's RedFoo and Shufflebot, of course, his own hybrid creation, Tebowie. Even better, his Super Bowl-skewed performances were judged by the coaches of The Voice (thanks to some well-edited stock footage). Watch below. More »
Miley Cyrus Performs “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” On ‘Ellen’
Mon Feb 6 2012 by Robbie Daw
Dolled up like a carefree '70s singer (not unlike Taylor Swift in the current issue of Vogue), Miley Cyrus took to the Ellen DeGeneres Show's stage for a performance of Bob Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go". The LOL star was accompanied by one acoustic guitar, which made her vocals the focal point — and she pulled off a mesmerizing performance pretty easily.

Sun Feb 5 2012 by Idolator Staff
As everyone knows, the post-Super Bowl slot is a coveted spot for any show, and this year NBC gave the honors to The Voice, hoping to hook new fans as the fab foursome of judges takes a break from playing Guesstures to usher in Season 2. As anyone who caught the inaugural outing knows, Javier Colon (of Team Levine) emerged victorious, closely followed by Dia Frampton. What's in store for Season 2? Well, for starters, an all-star roster of mentors including Kelly Clarkson, Robin Thicke, and Alanis Morrisette, and Adam gloating about last season's win about 400 times per episode. But as the title of the show implies, it's the pipes of the contestants that really matter. So how'd this season's lineup of talent do? See how the premiere went down below. More »
