Did You Hear?

:: Katy Perry and Russell Brand are matchy-matchy in grey hues on the red carpet for the premiere of Russell's movie, The Tempest. Almost didn't recognize Katy without a latex dress on. [MTV Buzzworthy]

:: T.I.'s new album dropped this week, but the rapper isn't exactly available to promote it. Does No Mercy stand a chance on the charts with its creator behind bars? [EW Music Mix]

:: The CW is planning it's own Glee-type musical show, this one about a failing indie rock band. Wasn't that called Flight of the Conchords? Who are we kidding, we'll watch it. [Vulture]

:: Listen to Jesse McCartney's new song, "One Night." [Music & Lyrics]

:: Harry Shum Jr. was once known as Glee's "Other Asian", and now the amazing dancer finally gets to hog some of the spotlight. Check out his interview with E!'s Watch With Kristin, where he explains how he got those eye-popping abs. [E! Online]

After the jump, see which R&B superstar will bring music fresh out the kitchen to appear on late-night TV. More »

PHOTOS: Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown, Keri Hilson, T.I. at L.A.’s ‘Takers’ Premiere

Thu Aug 5 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman

Before Chris Brown, T.I. And Keri Hilson performed for fans at the Takers‘ Hollywood premiere, they first had to strike a pose for the paparazzi. Also in attendance at Hollywood’s famed Arclight Cinerama Dome Theater were musical artists Snoop Dogg and Jesse McCartney. Neither of the two are in the Takers, but were probably just there to check out the new crime thriller. Chris Brown’s ensmble—which included a pair of leopard print sneakers—reminded us of a character from a completely different film: Duckie from the John Hughes’ 80s classic Pretty In Pink. Flip through to see all the arrival action and tell us if you think the “I Can Transform Ya” rapper is trying to transform into the “Duckman”. More »

Fri Jul 30 2010 by Robbie Daw
This week brought not only big shakeups at American Idol, but also new music from Jesse McCartney and Natalia Kills, a new video blog from David Archuleta and the first look at a scene from Mega Python Vs.

Jesse McCartney Gets Buried Alive With Auto-Tune On ‘Step Up 3-D’ Track “Up”

Mon Jul 26 2010 by Becky Bain
Jesse McCartney's song on the Step Up 3-D soundtrack, "Up", should really just be called "Generic Auto-Tune Song #4." This boy can actually sing, correct? Why must he mask his vocals under ridiculous amounts of robotic flair? If you must, listen to it below. More »

The Morning Mix: Rihanna To Give Katy Perry A Last Hurrah As A Single Gal

Fri Apr 9 2010 by Becky Bain
Did you hear?

:: Rihanna is throwing a bachelorette party for Katy Perry before she gets married to Russell Brand. Erotic bakeries are about to get a lot of business. (We're not talking about the bachelorette party, though. We mean Russell Brand probably only consumes x-rated pastries.) [Just Jared]

:: Christina Aguilera will sit down with Oprah on an episode filmed at Radio City Music Hall on May 7 and perform a track off her new album Bionic. Is this album really and truly happening? We've been anticipating it for so long, a new Christina record seemed but a pipe dream. [Lifeline Live]

:: So much for Lil Wayne having a part-time job while in prison—the story of him being on suicide watch for "crazy prisoners" turned out to be a fake. [The BoomBox]

:: Canadians megastars Justin Bieber and Drake are reportedly working on a collaboration together (other than Drake's random cameo in the "Baby" video). [Complex]

:: MTV shares several filmed interviews with Green Day about their American Idiot musical and how Billie Joe Armstrong has managed not to age in twenty years. (Okay, they didn't inquire about that, but we really want to know.) [MTV Buzzworthy]

After the jump: before there was Justin Bieber, there was Jesse McCartney. More »

Z100’s Jingle Ball 2008: In Which Ne-Yo Makes Us Believe In Pop Again

Mon Dec 15 2008 by Maura

So, Friday night was the 2008 installment of Z100’s end-of-year-fest known as the Jingle Ball, and while this year’s lineup didn’t have any guaranteed swoon objects like last year’s Jonas Brothers fest, the lineup was nowhere near the crapfest that was Zootopia. Kanye West and Ne-Yo and Rihanna (and even Leona Lewis and David Archuleta, to a lesser extent) made me realize that while the ever-shrinking beast that is “pop music” certainly has its problems in 2008, its high points can still bring smiles to faces and twitchiness to butts.

Phoenix To Host Greatest Concert Lineup Since The US Festival

Fri Oct 17 2008 by Dan Gibson

I’m sure it’s more due to the booking power of Clear Channel than the promotional talents of morning show idiots Johnjay and Rich, but this year’s installment of KZZP’s Phooson looks to be the greatest collection of talent ever. Sure, the concert has abandoned its original mission of bringing music to the gap between Phoenix and Tucson (get it? that’s why it’s called Phooson) and set up shop at an amphitheater in Phoenix. But when you look at the lineup, you’ll realize that Casa Grande–the little town smack in the middle of the two bigger cities–couldn’t have handled this much star power.

Jesse McCartney: The Unlikely Heir To Justin Timberlake’s Throne?

Fri May 9 2008 by Chris Molanphy

Ed. note: Chris “dennisobell” Molanphy, our resident chart guru, looks at the upward, downward, and lack of movement on this week’s Billboard charts:

The upper reaches of this week’s Billboard Hot 100 are a little sleepy–two songs sneak into the bottom rungs of the Top 10, and every song above them either holds position or moves at most a spot or two.

But one of the Top 10 entrants boasts an unusual pair of credits: he has his first Top 10 hit as a recording act in the same week that he’s enjoying his first chart-topper as a songwriter. Making it somewhat more unusual, at least among multi-hyphenate types: he just turned 21 about a month ago.

We’re talking about former boy bander, former small-screen star, and TRL mainstay Jesse McCartney. The song he co-wrote–Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding Love,” penned with OneRepublic schlock-meister Ryan Tedder–is actually in its fourth nonconsecutive week at No. 1. The newer hit is his own: “Leavin’,” which leaps four spots to No. 10 after a huge, iTunes-fueled debut last week.

Throw in the fact that he did a voice for the March blockbuster Horton Hears A Who! and this kid’s having an awfully good spring.

Jesse McCartney Is Leavin’ Like The ’80s

Fri Mar 7 2008 by mbart

Of his new album, Jesse McCartney has said: “I’m going for Prince chord changes, Michael (Jackson) melodies, and the bigness of Madonna.” “Leavin’” more sounds like a vocoder-less T-Pain with distortion on the drums, but it’s still awesome. More »
