Tue Feb 7 2012 by Becky Bain
Dance music didn't have its own category at The Grammys until 2003, and now the little genre that could appears to have been fully embraced by the Recording Academy. The 2012 Grammy Awards will include "a special segment spotlighting dance/electornica music for the first time ever." The lineup for this special performance? Deadmau5, David Guetta, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and the Foo Fighters. Wait, what? More »

Busta Rhymes And Chris Brown Release Baffling “Why Stop Now” Video

Mon Jan 30 2012 by Becky Bain
Since Busta Rhymes helped propel Chris Brown's Grammy-nominated "Look At Me Now" into a full-blown hit, it's time for Breezy to return the favor and appear in Busta's "Why Stop Now" clip. The Hype Williams-directed video begins with a quote from none other than Sophocles, and in this ballistic four-minute adventure we see Rhymes transform into a locust and break the fourth wall of the Internet while a shirtless Brown gets out some pent-up aggression in a dimly-lit hallway. We didn't even get to the part where Busta turns into a lost member of the Fantastic Four at an Occupy Wall Street-type protest. Just watch below and experience the insanity for yourself. More »

Chris Brown, it seems, is clearly in the mood to dance again, as evidenced by his energetic new Underdogs-produced single "Turn Up The Music".

Thu Jan 19 2012 by Erika Brooks Adickman

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 »
