Tattooed Pop Star Couples: 7 Infamous Post-Ink Breakups (PHOTOS)
Thu Jan 19 2012 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Perhaps the only thing greater than the love affair between musicians and tattoos is celebrity couples’ burning desire to get matching tattoos. When reports surfaced earlier this week that Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner were (amicably) calling it quits, it occurred to us that the twosome is just the latest pop star couple whose complementary ink far outlasted the romance. So we decided to take a walk down memory lane and revisit all the pop star flames that proved less permanent than the artful illustrations on their body. Click through to for a tattooed trip through Splitsville: from Chris Brown and Rihanna to Britney and K-Fed — see if you remembered their indelible marks of devotion to one another. Then tell us (in the comments below or on Twitter and Facebook): Do you think these tattoos are romantic or regrettable? More »
See What An Amy Winehouse-Inspired Lamp Looks Like
Tue Jan 3 2012 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Now here's a bright idea: a lamp that pays tribute to the late singer Amy Winehouse. No, it doesn't serenade you with the first few bars of "Rehab" when you flip it on (though with a price tag of $1,500 we think it should). Instead, lighting designer Delightfull has modeled the lamp after the "Halftime" siren's trademark beehive. Below, take a closer look at the illuminating homage to the British songstress.

In news that should surprise no one, Justin Bieber has earned the honor of 2011's Most Popular Person (in pop culture) according to Google searches, with Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj also finding a place in the Top 5.

Lady Gaga Most Overrated, Madonna Most Anticipated: ‘Billboard’ Readers Poll
Fri Dec 16 2011 by Robbie Daw
Out with the new and in with the, er, mature? Billboard turned the usual year-end list mania over to its readers via polls that asked them to have their say in such categories as Best Awards Show Performance (the winners: Rihanna and Britney Spears at the Billboard Music Awards), Best Festival Performance (Coldplay at Glastonbury), Hottest Couple (Jay-Z and Beyonce) and Biggest Controversy (Amy Winehouse's death). But the real eyebrow-raiser is the Most Overrated label being slapped on Lady Gaga.

As the year winds down, there's one solid, bitter fact about Amy Winehouse we all know to be true: she's gone. And, as evidenced by the posthumous collection Lioness: Hidden Treasures, which was released today, the soulful UK singer sadly didn't leave much original material behind following her death in July from "misadventure" (read: alcohol poisoning). We've rounded up some of the critics' opinions on the album. Head below to see what the Internet at large had to say about Amy's musical leftovers.
