Oscars Will Be Less Musical This Year With No Best Song Performances
Tue Feb 16 2010 by Becky Bain
After bloating the Academy Awards ceremony with ten Best Picture nominees, Oscar producers are freeing up some space by nixing performances of the five Best Song nominees. Instead, the songs will be played in brief clips over footage from their respective films.
For the record, we can't even pretend to hum the melody of any of these tracks (which Entertainment Weekly's Music Mix names "the worst nominations ever). Can you blame us? Not one of these songs made a "Jai-Ho"-sized splash in pop culture in 2009 (nor did they have their own Pussycat Dolls remix). So join us in a primer of all five Best Song nominees after the jump, and find out if we'll be missing anything come Oscar night.

New Missy Elliott Track Featuring—Who Else?—Lil Wayne
Mon Dec 28 2009 by Becky Bain
Who would have imagined that, by the end of a decade largely defined by Timbaland, his frequent collaborator Missy Elliott would all but disappear? Missy been all but M.I.A. lately: her long-awaited Block Party has been stuck in album purgatory for ages, and one mailed-in performance with the Pussycat Dolls doesn't a comeback make. But at long last, there's a genuine sign that she might be preparing to re-surface: check the leaked (and unfinished) track "All 4 U" featuring Lil Wayne. Is it worth it?

Unreleased Nicole Sherzinger Tracks Don’t Exactly Make Us Wish They Were Released
Mon Dec 28 2009 by Becky Bain
Now that the Pussycat Dolls are dunzo—at least as far as this current lineup is concerned (sorry, Melody, that might mean you)—we hope Nicole Sherzinger doesn't get the inkling to try another solo effort outside the Dolls. Her Name Is Nicole, you may recall, had several underperforming singles, and the full album never saw the light of day. Well, several new unreleased tracks have leaked off the 2006 album, and let's just say we now fully understand why Her Name Is Nicole never got off the ground. Check out one of the tunes, "I'm a Cheat," after the jump.

Screen Jams: ‘Nine’
Thu Dec 17 2009 by Becky Bain
Screen Jams is our recurring look at the most buzzworthy new music featured in movies, TV shows, and video games—pretty much any form of entertainment you can enjoy with your eyes.
We kick off our new soundtrack column with a visit to Hollywood, by way of Broadway. We dived into the music of Nine, Rob Marshall’s film adaptation of the stage production, that stars pretty much everyone who won an Oscar, ever. But can any of them channel the swingin’ 60s better than Fergie? See below to hear our verdict:
The Pussycat Dolls: Expect ‘New Faces’
Tue Dec 8 2009 by Robbie Daw
There might be a few less familiar sex kittens in the Pussycat Dolls the next time they slink onto stage. Last month, while rumors flew around like fur after a catfight that the Dolls were breaking up, group member Melody Thornton told us, “We need a break… It’s as simple as that. There’s nothing else behind it. Until the big man says I got a song and it’s time to work again, we’re on a break.”
PCD founder/head honcho Robin Antin also released a statement to Holy Moly denying a split, but noted that when the girl group returns, there will be “new music, new concepts, new faces and more hit songs!”

Take A Listen To 15 Years Of Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins’ Hits
Wed Dec 2 2009 by Robbie Daw
Producer Rodney Jerkins (aka “Darkchild!”) posted a 50-song medley of some of his biggest hits on his blog, and—damn!—talk about a 8o mph joyride down memory lane.
All of the usual suspects are there (Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine,” Pussycat Dolls’ “When I Grow Up,” Jennifer Lopez’s “If You Had My Love,” Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name”). But there are also the Ohhhh…right! moments, as when we suddenly remembered that Rodney produced the original version of Whitney Houston’s “It’s Not Right, But It’s Okay” before Thunderpuss got their hands on it.
“Thanks to the fans for all the love and support over the past 15 years,” Jerkins wrote on his blog. “This is a gift from me to you! I hope you enjoy it.”
And fear not—even the Spice Girls’ “Holler” made the cut. Have a listen to the “Darkchild Single Medley 50″ after the jump! More »
Pussycat Dolls’ Melody Thornton Says It’s Just A ‘Break,’ Not a Break Up
Wed Nov 25 2009 by Becky Bain
Are the Pussycat Dolls really breaking up because of feuding within the group? New York Post’s Page Six reports that Nicole Scherzinger (who previously tried sailing away from the five-piece pop act to unspectacular results) has sparked irreparable ire with the other members, and they’re breaking up for good. However, one particular Pussycat Doll exclusively tells us otherwise. More »
Slash Defends Fergie’s Rock Cred
Wed Nov 18 2009 by Robbie Daw
After the cover of Guns N’ Roses’ “Paradise City” from the unlikely combo of Slash, Fergie and Cypress Hill made its way online last week, former GNR guitarist Slash Hudson took to his Twitter account to defend the curvy Black Eyed Peas’ fox’s inclusion on the track. Or maybe he’s just making a general assessment about Fergie’s rock chops. More »
Have You Taken Time Out Of Your Day To Be Nice To Your Local Popstar?
Thu Oct 15 2009 by Maura
In the wake of yesterday’s horrifying incident in London where an apparently lovestruck (??) fan punched the excessively inoffensive Leona Lewis, the British pop-clearinghouse Popjustice has released a manifesto declaring that we need to enter a new era of being nice to pop stars, and resisting the reflexive snark that has taken over so many corners of the Internet. “It should be possible for popstars to sign copies of mediocre books without fear of being hit around the head by a bellend,” writes Popjustice, “and it is the absolute right of anybody to go about their daily job without fear of being punched, unless they are Perez Hilton.” Well all right then! How can you be nice to a pop star today? Popjustice has a couple of ideas. More »
