Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine is the pop star du jour to drop by Terry Richardson’s studio. Unlike the photog’s latest shoot with Lady Gaga, the Voice coach remained fully clothed (a pity, that). The dapper singer kept things casual in a t-shirt and jeans and didn’t seem to mind all that much when Terry socked him one right in the kisser (for the sake of art, of course). Check out the Grammy nominee’s shoot, but be warned there is one pic where Adam holds up M.I.A.’s favorite finger. Then tell us below, or on Facebook and Twitter, what you thought of the “Moves Like Jagger” singer’s shots. More »

Lana Del Rey Has ‘Lovecat’ Covered
Thu Feb 9 2012 by Robbie Daw
This week's chart upstart Lana Del Rey graces the front of model fanzine Lovecat's Women Who Rock Issue. Ellen Von Unwerth snapped the pics, and Born To Die songstress Lana had the following to say: "My biggest indulgence is being an artist. I still think it’s beautiful that I make music for a living. The music videos that I make myself are expensive and it takes money to clear all the copyrights... My second indulgence is diamonds. I have a jeweler in Brooklyn named Uri and he makes me all my custom gold and diamond pieces-grills, triple rings etc." Catch more of bling-loving LDR's chat with the zine at MTV Style.

Jay-Z, Kanye West, Will Ferrell & Flashy Effects Fill “Ni**as In Paris” Video
Thu Feb 9 2012 by Robbie Daw
If you were expecting some fancy scenery from the City Of Lights to play into the video for Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch The Throne hit "Ni**as In Paris", then you're out of luck. The clip for the often-performed song is instead comprised mostly of footage shot last December during the hip hop duo's final Staples Center gig in Los Angeles. Some headache-inducing (or, as the intro warns, epileptic fit-inducing) camera effects and a cameo by Blades Of Glory star Will Ferrell are mixed in for the heck of it. Watch below.

Kelly Clarkson Covers Madonna’s “Crazy For You”
Thu Feb 9 2012 by Robbie Daw
Current chart ruler Kelly Clarkson was apparently in the mood for a little old-school Madonna recently. (Not surprising, given that the two performed at the Super Bowl on Sunday.) During a tour stop in Bossier City, Louisiana, the Stronger singer took a fan request and belted out a cover of Madge's ballad "Crazy For You". Kelly said of the audience pick, "We've been doing this on tour, because I got here from fans voting for me ten years ago. So it's still cool that you all are involved in my show."

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.
