Cobra Starship’s ‘Night Shades’ Cover Art Is A Smash
Wed Jul 20 2011 by Becky Bain
The trashtastic cover of Cobra Starship's last studio release, 2009's Hot Mess, was bad enough to win the top spot in our annual Worst Album Cover Art list. We are relieved to see that the cover for their new LP Night Shades manages to keep it edgy, yet stylish and classy. (LMFAO - learn from this.) Jump below to check out the pop-punk (or is it now pop-dance?) group's track listing, which manages to give us the bird with a song called "Middle Finger." So much for that class.

Cobra Starship And Sabi Have Some Photo Booth Fun In “You Make Me Feel” Video
Tue Jun 28 2011 by Becky Bain
If you're going to abandon your past sound to blatantly follow the current Euro-dance-beat trend, at least have a good time while doing it. In Cobra Starship's new video for "You Make Me Feel...", the lead single from the pop group's forthcoming album Night Shades, frontman Gabe Saporta has one wild and crazy night with Sabi (she who was steaming like a pot full of vegetables on Britney's Femme Fatale), as well as a random assortment of other party pals, including rising dance diva Wynter Gordon and Santa Claus. (No, wait, that's Robin Williams with a grey beard.) Kai Regan-directed vid below.

Cobra Starship Makes Sabi Feel Like Singing In “You Make Me Feel…”
Mon May 9 2011 by Idolator Staff
Good girls (and boys), prepare to go bad once more. It's been a couple years since Cobra Starship reached the mainstream with the Leighton Meester-assisted "Good Girls Go Bad," but now the snakes-on-a-starship are back featuring another female — in this case, Britney's "(Drop Dead) Beautiful" pal Sabi, who joins the boys on "You Make Me Feel..." from the forthcoming LP Night Shades. The new tune is a pretty major departure for the band that got bested by Bieber, taking them in a David Guetta-esque Euro-dance direction. How will it make you feel? Head below to find out.

PHOTOS: ‘VMAN’ Magazine Shows You How To Dress Like A Pop Star
Tue Jan 26 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
This week, VMAN magazine (the Ken to V magazine’s Barbie) shows you how to dress like a pop star as part of their “How To” issue. The photo spread, shot by photographer Mark Abrahams, includes Justin Bieber, Adam Lambert, Gerard and Mikey Way from My Chemical Romance and Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship. While the tips are helpful, remember, individual results may vary. Sporting a shag haircut and a hoodie doesn’t guarantee you’ll score a kiss on the cheek from Rihanna and cause a stampede at malls across America. And eyeliner and an early-Elvis pompadour doesn’t always translate to nearly 500,000 sales on your first album. That said, we’re sure it couldn’t hurt either. More »
Justin Bieber Continues Path of Destruction By Embarrassing Cobra Starship
Fri Dec 4 2009 by Becky Bain
Justin Bieber is a smart kid. Sure, he can skillfully sing, dance, beatbox and play instruments like a performer much, much older than his zygote-age. But the real proof of this teen’s wit is that he already knows how to market himself—by starting a beef with other musicians.
After getting into a war of the tweets with John Mayer, Justin challenged Cobra Starship’s Gabe Saporta to a dance-off while they were both performing at the Jingle Ball concert in Sacramento. Unfortunately, this challenge was made before Justin broke his foot, which meant no repeats of sweet dance moves like this. Instead of forfeiting, however, he showed Gabe up in an even better way. The video results of Cobra Starship getting owned during their own set is after the jump. More »
People’s Sexiest Includes Pop Stars—But Are They the Right Ones?
Wed Nov 18 2009 by Becky Bain
People unveiled a sampling of its Top Sexiest Men Alive today (led by Johnny Depp, sooo boring a choice—what, were Brad Pitt and George Clooney busy?) and a few pop stars made the list. But they aren’t exactly who we would’ve selected: More »
How Long Can You Watch The Video Music Awards’ Complete “West Side Story” Promo Without Needing A Break?
Tue Aug 25 2009 by Maura
My love for Ne-Yo propelled me all the way through the one-minute mark of the musical tribute to Leonard Bernstein and the Video Music Awards’ dubious honors, despite the musical instruments underneath him echoing in such a way that I wondered if they’d been recorded in one of the redbird trains being repurposed as reefs, then piped up to sea level using an intricately designed system of tin cans. But then Katy Perry came in at the 1:18 mark, wielding garden shears and sounding like an unfortunately winded Bjork, and suddenly hearing all about Johan Santana’s bone chips sounded like a somewhat appealing alternative! What about you? [YouTube] More »
Dear MTV: If I Promise To Live-Blog The Video Music Awards, Will You Maybe Quit It With The Increasingly Horrible “West Side Story” Promos?
Wed Aug 19 2009 by Maura
I mean, an ad that’s framed as a duel between Cobra Starship and Ne-Yo? I know I’m a little out of your target demo, but it seems like I would at least enjoy those two artists facing off. And yet. And yet. The latest West Side Story-themed ad for the Sept. 13 Video Music Awards is a trainwreck of epic proportions—an achievement, I suppose, given that it’s only 30 seconds long, but. What are those synthesizer horns at the end? They’re not “triumphant” as much as they are “demo track on a Casio keyboard that some production assistant found molding in a corner of the basement.” Please, for the love of God. Stop it. Or at least get Matt Parker & Trey Stone to show you how to properly write an homage to the art of the musical. The clip after the jump. More »
Looks Like The Video Music Awards Are Really Serious About That “West Side Story” Theme
Fri Aug 14 2009 by Maura
The just-released ad for the Video Music Awards placed after the jump, featuring Cobra Starship and Gossip Girl starlet Leighton Meester, will apparently be the “first of many West Side Story-inspired VMA promos,” according to the clip’s caption. Is it super-condescending to ask how many members of the MTV target demo have even heard of the Laurents/Bernstein/Sondheim musical about inter-gang and racial tensions? Probably. But that doesn’t make the decision to theme this year’s Video Music Awards after a 52-year-old musical any less strange. Perhaps there will be a Very Special Episode of Parental Control in order to bridge the generational gap. More »
