The American Music Awards: Surprises, Stage Falls and Simulated Sex
“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 »

Timbaland Vamps It Up In The ‘Morning After Dark’ Vid
Yes, yes—vampires are very now, very chic. But with all the goofy faces Timbaland is sporting in the video for “Morning After Dark”—which also features singer SoShy—the menacing bloodsuckers aren’t the creepiest thing in the clip. MORE »

Susan Boyle Goes ‘Wild’ On The ‘Today Show’
Amazon.com sensation Susan Boyle can kiss the days of pre-orders goodbye, as her album I Dreamed A Dream was finally released today. To promote it, the Britain’s Got Talent vixen jetted off to New York—for the first time, apparently—and took to the Today Show stage to perform “I Dreamed A Dream” and “Wild Horses” (video clip after the jump).

Justin Bieber, Mall Terror
If pint-sized pop singer Justin Bieber was looking for bad karma after instructing his fans to attack John Mayer via Twitter, last week, he certainly found it. More details—and video footage (see below)—have emerged about Friday’s incident at Long Island’s Roosevelt Field Mall, where allegedly 10,000 Bieber fans caused a riot while waiting for the singer’s autograph session appearance.

Whatcha Say About Jason Derulo’s New Song ‘In My Head’?
How does Jason Derulo follow up his J.R. Rotem-produced debut single “Whatcha Say,” the monster that bumped Owl City’s “Fireflies” off the top of the Billboard Hot 100? By hooking up with Rotem again for the (slightly) more up-tempo, (slightly) rock-infused “In My Head.”

Kris Allen on ‘Kris Allen’
Kris Allen certainly has his work cut out for him. His album is expected to post the lowest first-week sales from an American Idol winner in the show’s eight seasons—not that opening weeks mean everything. (Ruben Studdard’s best-ever first week didn’t exactly herald longevity.) And although Kris beat Adam Lambert for the AI title back in May, Adam seemed pre-destined to become the bigger media darling/pull-quote generator.
But in reality, Allen’s no less passionate about music (and he did win), so we chatted up the soft rock singer/songwriter at Us Weekly’s Hot in Hollywood Party in Los Angeles, the same bash where we talked pop with Adam Lambert. Check out what Kris has to say about his debut album, and what he thinks might be wrong with it: MORE »

The Idolator Interview: Adam Lambert
For your entertainment (and, sure, ours too), we caught up with Adam Lambert and Kris Allen at the Us Weekly Hot in Hollywood party at Voyeur nightclub last night. (The magazine honored both guys in its “Stars of the Year” coverage—Adam was named “Glam God of the Year” and Kris “Victor of the Year.”) Tomorrow we’ll be posting our interview with the adorable and subdued Allen, but for now, check out our heart-to-heart with the delicious little space alien known as @adamlambert: MORE »
