Kris Allen

As much as we love Kris Allen‘s acoustic covers (even when they’re interrupted by grumpy policemen), we’ve been awaiting his brand new tunes on his sophomore album Thank You Camellia, which comes out today (May 22). To celebrate Allen’s first release in three years, we had a lovely chat with American Idol‘s Season 8 champ, where he spoke quite freely with us on a number of matters: he tells us how he’s matured as a singer and songwriter since his debut, who (or what, we should say) Camellia is, and the coincidence of his Top 2 mate Adam Lambert releasing an album within a week of Kris dropping an album yet again.

Find out all about Kris Allen’s new music (and his super-cute French bulldog) in our Q&A below. More »

Did You Hear?

:: After serenading her fan base on The Simpsons, Lady Gaga is now starting a social networking site for her Little Monsters all over the world. (Isn’t that just called Twitter?) The site is in invite-only mode at the moment, so better hope you have a lucky little monster friend to invite you in! [MTV]

:: One Direction is headed straight into debt if they keep abusing their cell phones — the boy banders have racked up more than $22,000 in cell phone bills. [Huffington Post]

:: Beyonce is quite the pool hustler! Who knew? Check out footage of a younger Bey showing off in the pool house. [MTV Buzzworthy]

::Billie Joe Armstrong attended Mark Zuckerberg’s wedding this past weekend, and performed the Green Day‘s song “Last Night On Earth”. We like this. (We only wish we had been invited to see the performance.) [EW Music Mix]

Phillip Phillips Jessica Sanchez American Idol Season 11

Tonight marks the final performance episode of American Idol Season 11. And while many viewers (like, say, us) were deprived of the Jessica Sanchez-Joshua Ledet heavyweight bout they wanted, the diametrically opposed styles and fan bases of Phillip Phillips and Jessica make for an intriguing finale. In one corner we have the miniaturized Beyonce-via-growling-tiger teenager, in the other corner we have a gruff Dave Matthews-style strummer. While Jessica showcased prodigious vocals and a commanding stage presence right away in the Top 13, Phil has evolved from a dude scatting and just having a good time into an actual singer — if his performance last week wasn’t a fluke.

So will squealing girls come out of the woodwork to again hand the title to a charming young man? Or will Jessica’s incredible voice break the ladies’ drought through sheer force of will? Before making your prediction, take a look back at the finalists’ most impressive and most disappointing performances. More »

Gaga's Little Monster Song: Watch!

Lady Gaga‘s voiceover acting debut on The Simpsons aired last night (May 20), and though Lisa remained unimpressed with the pop star throughout most of the episode, we thought Mother Monster did pretty well in animated form. If you have Lady Gaga as your special guest, you obviously need to have her sing, and sing she did: in this 90-second ode to her little monsters, Gaga wears a dress made of birds, a dress made of Grammys, a Star Wars Jawa costume, and her iconic fire bra.

Sings Gaga (or “Lady JaJa”, according to Grandpa): “But every monster needs to find that secret deep inside / That transforms Dr. Jekyll into Sexy Mr. Hyde.” Our favorite line: ”Oh, my monsters, so beautiful / Disco Stu-tiful,” with a shot of Disco Stu in the crowd. We anxiously await the dance remix!

If you missed the episode, you can watch the full thing right here.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder — as is sex appeal. How else can one explain the rankings on this year’s Maxim Hot 100 list? While many of pop’s leading ladies landed a coveted slot on the magazines “Definitive List Of The World’s Most Beautiful Women”, there were some surprising omissions and placements this year. First off, Beyonce, who already holds the title of World’s Most Beautiful Woman from People, doesn’t even make the list.

For her part, Rihanna, the fiery vixen who can barely keep her clothes on when a camera is around, only landed at #32, six slots below usually-clothed Taylor Swift. Our sincerest congratulations to Katy Perry, though, who landed among the top tier at #4. See the rest of music’s hottest gals fared below. More »

If you thought the pop world would allow the 25th anniversary of Michael Jackson‘s Bad album to slip by without a celebration, think again – Bad 25 will be released on September 17, and will include a cornucopia of goodies for the King Of Pop’s insatiable fan base: along with the original album and new remixes and demos, the collection will include his 1988 tour stop at Wembley Stadium, released on DVD for the first time ever. Watch a teaser for the release (featuring footage of fans screaming and fainting while awaiting his arrival at the Wembley gig) above, and head below for all the details of what fans can expect in the re-reissue.  More »

Chris Brown

We still haven’t figured out Chris Brown‘s musical identity — and neither has he, apparently, as the R&B artist continues to flip-flop between euphoric dance artist and swaggy rap star. (Nicki Minaj, Chris is onto your game.) At last night’s Billboard Music Awards, he performed his harmless dance tune “Turn Up The Music”, and today comes the much grimier, much more disgusting rap track “Bitch, I’m Paid.” Quoth Breezy: “Bitch, I’m paid / That’s all I gotta say.” Then say no more. No, really — Popdust singles out several ick-inducing lyrics we’d rather not repeat here. Hear it below, if listening to Brown boast about his bank account and his virility is your thing. More »

UK songstress Cheryl Cole goes for a full-throttle club jam with new Calvin Harris-produced single “Call My Name”, but pulls a 180 for its b-side “Telescope”. On the slow number, Cole laments, “I’m in the room and you’re in the bed with her, I see the unseen and I am feeling just like a telescope.” Is the perceptive pop minx going for a “Someone Like You” with this mournful piano ballad? Something tells us she’s not in any danger of pulling an Adele and straining her vocal cords with this one. Give “Telescope” a listen below.

Kreayshawn & 2 Chainz Have “Breakfast (Syrup)” Together In Sticky New Video

The good news: Kreayshawn and 2 Chainz have toned down the gore of previous video collaboration “Murder”, and have instead opted for a more playful concept for their “Breakfast (Syrup)” clip. The bad news: the song is Kreayshawn’s lead single from upcoming debut LP Something ‘Bout Kreay (out August 14), and it’s one big tuneless sausage.

The vid starts with Kreay waking up, slipping on her bunny slippers and heading to the kitchen, where there’s a huge breakfast party with all her pals going on. We kind of tuned out once all the babes started pouring syrup all over their bods and licking their fingers, but hey — if that’s your cup of tea, then chow down, hungry hippos!

Pink Chris Brown Billboard Awards 2012

Pink may not have attended the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, but that didn’t stop her from vocalizing her thoughts on the performances. Though the pop star said Carrie Underwood sounded “lovely” and revealed that she liked Justin Bieber‘s single “Boyfriend”, Pink was no fan of Chris Brown‘s “Turn Up The Music”.

“One day if i lipsync i hope i do it as well as him,” tweeted Pink of Brown’s performance, before being immediately attacked by his legion of fans. (We guess they didn’t have to read in between the lines too much to figure out she was talking about Breezy?) “Oh my lord, its so easy…its so damn easy,” she tweeted in response. “Keep it coming people, this is some good reading.” More »
