Jimmy Fallon impersonations can brighten up any day, and last night brought out a whole pop-heavy assortment of them. During his post-Super Bowl special, Jimmy auditioned for the halftime show while dressed up as Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Eminem, Josh Groban, LMFAO's RedFoo and Shufflebot, of course, his own hybrid creation, Tebowie. Even better, his Super Bowl-skewed performances were judged by the coaches of The Voice (thanks to some well-edited stock footage). Watch below. More »
The Best — And Worst! — National Anthem Performances Football Has Ever Seen
Thu Feb 2 2012 by Idolator Staff
In just three days, Super Bowl XLVI will be under way in Indianapolis. There will be touchdowns, Madonna, M.I.A., LMFAO, maybe Cee Lo Green, bets won and bets lost. There will also be flags flown and an anthem sung, as is the custom for big American sports spectacles. This, to many, is the biggest of them all, and the very worthy Kelly Clarkson will sing "The Star-Spangled Banner", bringing her range and power to a song that many have attempted but few have mastered.
There have been some incredible — and some unforgivable — versions of the national anthem sung at football games past. Take a trip down memory lane with us while we recap the five very best and the five very worst. More »
The Morning Mix: Will Smith Recording A New Album?
Fri Aug 19 2011 by Becky Bain
Did You Hear?
:: Will Smith is apparently tired of being the world's biggest movie star (or he's just jealous of his daughter Willow), and wants to release another rap album. He's reportedly "working" (however vague that means) with producer La Mars “Mars” Edwads, who's collaborated with Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa. [PopCrush]
:: The Justin Bieber Way street sign in Texas was stolen two days after it was erected. Was it a Belieber, or a Bieber hater? Either way, a new sign is being put up, so everyone wins. Especially the town's 11-year-old mayor. [Ocean Up]
:: It's been way too long since we've had some new Garbage tunes, so check out an extremely brief preview of the band's new song. [Pink Is The New Blog]
:: 50 Cent and Lil Kim heat it up Down Under with the very first live performance of their 2003 song "Magic Stick". [Music & Lyrics]
:: Josh Groban has signed on to play the brother of Andy Bernard (portrayed by Ed Helms) on The Office. We can't wait for the inevitable a cappella duet these two do on the show. [Huffington Post]

Josh Groban Sings Kanye West’s Tweets On ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’
Tue Jan 4 2011 by Robbie Daw
The fact that Josh Groban's The Best Tweets Of Kanye West—an album containing 752 songs made up of the piano-playing crooner's interpretations of "Monster" rapper 'Ye's online witticisms like "Black is the new black" and "French fries are the devil"—was merely a skit on Jimmy Kimmel Live and not actually a product we can own, touch and cherish forever is the first serious bummer of 2011, man.

Limey Lass Vs. Gator Crass: Predicting The Year-End Hot 100
Fri Dec 5 2008 by Chris Molanphy
When Billboard closes out 2008 next week by charting the year’s biggest hits, you can expect several songs from late 2007 to loom large on the year-end Hot 100.
But I doubt any will surpass the song that made an unrecognizable Tom Cruise shake his groove thing this past summer.
If there’s any chance that something will upset Flo Rida’s pop-rap smash, it’ll be by another newcomer whose big hit proved tough to follow: Leona Lewis. But I wouldn’t count on it.
