:: Lady Gaga reportedly asked Boy George to autograph her lady parts. He politely declined. This should once and for all end those rumors about her having a penis. [Best Week Ever]
:: Raise your glass and toast this awesome list of 25 Hip-Hop Songs to Listen To While Drunk. Can somebody compile a non-alcoholic list for minors? [Complex]
:: Akon's wealthy enough to retire (thanks to Lady Gaga) but that hasn't stopped him from dreaming up new ways to make bank. Up next: the Konvict fragrances for men and women, packaged in bottles shaped like pairs of handcuffs. Seems like a Tiger kind of thing, no? [Bossip]
:: MTV tries to match Britney Spears up with a man. Seriously, can the lady be single for one millisecond? [MTV Buzzworthy]
:: Universal Music Group plans to lower the price of CDs to $10. Which is still ten bucks more than the price of Googling "free song download", but what the heck. [Rolling Stone]

Did You Hear?
:: Britney Spears and her agent/boyfriend Jason Trawick have called it quits after a year of dating. Now Music's Sexiest Star can play the field—go get 'em, girl! Just stay away from paparazzi, anyone named Jason, or wannabe rappers. [E! Online]
:: Gwen Stefani rocks the cover of InStyle, and discusses her fashion line. She does not, however, talk about being the hottest 40-year old in the world. That's where we come in. This mama of two is fine. [Just Jared]
:: There's one person who isn't calling Lady Gaga's telephone—visionary director Michel Gondry is decidedly not interested in directing a Gaga video. Ever. Ouch. [True/Slant]
:: A comprehensive list of all the delicious foodstuffs musical acts sing about—and the restaurants, cafes and bars they should open in their band's name. [Flavorwire]
:: Bret Michaels says there was nothing weird about recording a song with Miley Cyrus. He probably doesn't think a bus full of skanky fame whores competing for the love of a washed up rock star is anything to worry about, either. [Pop Eater]

WTF
Korean Girl Group T-ara Seem Pretty “Crazy” For Britney Spears
11:30 AM on Thu Mar 11 2010 by Robbie Daw
We just stumbled upon T-ara, who are being billed as "The Korean Pussycat Dolls." (Although these days, that might not be the most stable pop/stripper pack to associate yourself, gals.) Based on the sassy dance-pop act's "I Go Crazy" video, T-ara actually seem more akin to Britney Spears. What makes us think that, you ask? Oh, just the "Womanizer" beat, the "If U Seek Amy" melody and the wardrobe that looks like it was stolen from the storage unit housing the "Baby...One More Time" video shoot memorabilia. Have a peak below, and see if T-ara's Brit-Brit vibe (drives you) crazy, as well.

12:00 PM on Mon Mar 1 2010 by Robbie Daw
Want a real dose of reality, music fans? Billboard published its list of last year's Top 40 Money Makers in the industry, and, no—the top earner's name doesn't begin with Lil, Lady, Kanye or Taylor. In fact, between the four biggest money-making artists, only one scored a Top 40 hit on Billboard's Hot 100 in 2009—and it was a song that peaked at #37. Hop below to see whose cash intake is keeping them in the upper echelon of the pop game.

Britney Spears’ Album To Drop This June, Feature David Guetta And More
2:32 PM on Tue Feb 23 2010 by Becky Bain
[UPDATE: A rep for Britney says — contrary to MTV's reporting — there has been "zero discussion" of a release date for Britney's next album.] Britney Spears' seventh studio album was at first rumored to drop this May, but it appears the Brit circus won't hit town again until June. We know you Brit diehards need your precious pop music, but the wait will be worth it—Billboard's Sexiest Pop Star has lined up an all-star cast of producers for her latest offering.

The Morning Mix: Justin Timberlake Makes A Fashion Statement
5:30 AM on Thu Feb 18 2010 by Becky Bain
Good morning, folks! Justin Timberlake and his longtime pal and business partner Trace Ayala (above) "classed up" their William Rast line's appearance at Fashion Week this year, keeping last night's runway show relatively celebutante-free while hiring bluesy band Free Sol to add falvor. We love JT's threads, we just wish he would re-direct some of the energy he puts into his fashion line into recording a new album already. It's been almost four years since FutureSex/LoveSounds, buddy! Get on it! Everybody else, let's mix it up!

:: Akon wasn't exactly starved for cash before, but the dough he's earning for his role in Lady Gaga's career will allow him to retire. [Huffington Post]
:: Britney Spears' latest batch of Candie's ads has arrived. She looks great, but we're just happy she's wearing shoes. [E! Online]
:: 3OH!3's third studio album will be called Streets of Gold, and the snarky duo has already written 25 new songs. Let's hope they took some poetry classes since authoring the deeply obnoxious Almost Alice track "Follow Me." [EW]
:: Toni Braxton is collaborating with comedian, talk show host and Oscar nominee Mo'Nique for her next album, Pulse. Take that, Meryl Streep. [Rap-Up]

The Morning Mix: Britney And Her Man Share A Romantic Happy Meal

How'd you folks spend your Valentine's Day? Did you spend thousands upon thousands of dollars hiring a jet to write your significant other's name into the sky? Or did you treat your lover to the dollar menu while at the McDonalds drive-thru like Britney Spears' agent boyfriend? Both are so very romantic in their own ways, no? Ah, l'amour.

Billboard decided to get steamy and ask its readers to vote in polls for the Sexiest Women and Sexiest Men In Music. Now the results are in, and it seems lust knows no musical boundaries—Disney stars, revered rockers, country crooners, pop divas and American Idol contestants were all in voters' dirty minds.

The Decade’s Top 10 Pop Star Guest Appearances On ‘The Simpsons’
1:19 PM on Mon Dec 28 2009 by Becky Bain
Twenty-one seasons in, The Simpsons continues to shine as a beacon of smart, funny TV. But it is also one of our favorite cultural fun-house mirrors, and we'd be remiss if we didn't spend a moment looking back on the decade of pop that was through the prism that is America's best dysfunctional animated family.
As we usher in 2010, we share our Top 10 picks for the best pop star appearances on The Simpsons over the last ten years (with "pop" being v-e-r-y loosely defined in order to accommodate our faves). Our list is in chronological order, making it all the easier to see how music—and the show—evolved through the 00s (starting with bubblegum pop, ending with edgier acts). Is anyone surprised that Bart, Homer, Marge Lisa and the gang have had longer careers than some of their guests?

PHOTOS: Song Vs. Song
12:42 PM on Thu Dec 17 2009 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Remember when the Jonas Brothers unveiled their album title and we were all “LOL, that reminds us of The Hush Sound”? Or when Miley Cyrus unveiled “The Climb” and we were briefly terrified that she had covered No Doubt? Well, because we love to argue, we cobbled together several batches of pairs of songs with the same (or very similar!) names, pitting artist against artist and tune against tune. May the better song win. And by win, we mean we hope it lodges itself in the right hemisphere of your brain for the rest of the day. More »
