Wilson Phillips’ Chynna Phillips will cha-cha her way onto Season 13 of Dancing With The Stars, and the “Hold On” singer expressed her excitement to put her former ballet training to work with the Venetian Waltz. (She also hopes her recent movie cameo in Bridesmaids will encourage viewers pick up the phone to vote this Fall.) We’re stoked to see the 43-year-old join the ranks of 12 seasons worth of pop star contestants when the competition kicks off September 19. Dance down memory lane as we remember some of our favorite music acts to tango onto DWTS. More »

Boy Bands Are Making A Comeback On Lance Bass’ New VH1 Reality Show
Sun Jun 19 2011 by Idolator Staff
Move over, ladies and solo gents — the boys are back in town. Or so former 'N Sync member Lance Bass is hoping, since he's putting together a new reality show in which newly-created boy bands vie for a shot at, um, relevance in a world that has long since moved past the 90's and early 00's obsession with four or five dreamy dudes crooning their hearts out sans instruments. (At least he's not trying to act again.) So, in addition to the occasionally glam Bass, which of your favorite Tiger Beat poster pull-outs of yesteryear will be making an appearance on the VH1 Voice-esque competition? Find out below. More »
The Decade’s Top 10 Pop Star Guest Appearances On ‘The Simpsons’
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?

NPR’s Songs of the Decade, From Boy Bands to ‘Single Ladies’
Mon Nov 23 2009 by Becky Bain
You already know the end of the year/decade will bring no shortage of best-of lists from perfectly nice people who still think it’s all about the Strokes or Neko Case. But the most interesting decade-in-review feature we’ve seen yet isn’t a countdown—it’s just a smart look back at the biggest hits of the decade by the whiz kids over at NPR.
For the last two weeks, the music crew that puts together NPR’s Song of the Day segment, has taken a smart look back at the best and brightest in pop smashes from the aughts – one song and one year at a time. Check out their ten picks for the songs that summed up the 00’s, complete with a brief write-up (full song-by-song analysis can be seen at the source). Apologies to those with an aversion to Britney Spears and Idol alumni: this just wasn’t your time. More »
