The 10 Most Memorable Super Bowl Halftime Performances Of All Time

Thu Jan 19 2012 by Idolator Staff
On February 5, Indianapolis will host Super Bowl XLVI — the 46th iteration of America's biggest game. Millions of fans will gather 'round the television set with seven-layer dip and cold drinks to watch an epic match-up of teams, the year’s funniest and most expensive commercials and most importantly — as far as we're concerned — Madonna's Super Bowl halftime show. The newly minted Interscope singer has been on her grind lately, promoting her Golden Globe-winning directorial debut W.E., unleashing a super sexy fragrance line and gearing up for the release of her 12th studio album MDNA and a world tour.

With so much going on, can Madonna still quarterback a show as memorable as these 10 amazing Super Bowl halftime performances? More »

Black Eyed Peas, Slash & Usher Have The Halftime Of Their Lives At Super Bowl XLV

Sun Feb 6 2011 by Becky Bain
With no disrespect to The Boss or The Who, the Super Bowl halftime shows have been fairly sleepy the past few years, but The Black Eyed Peas had every football fan in Cowboys stadium with their feet on the floor and their hands in the air during their balls-out epic LED light spectacular. Love or hate the Peas, they had no problem lighting up the night. Watch the unbelievable set below. More »

7 Revelations From Ryan Murphy’s ‘Hollywood Reporter’ Interview

Wed Jan 26 2011 by Robbie Daw
Though we included Kings Of Leon vs. Pigeons when we rounded up our list of Pop Music's 13 Biggest Fails In 2010 last month, we clearly left another drama involving the Followills out: Kings Of Leon vs. Glee. In a new interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Ryan Murphy, co-creator of Fox's award-winning musical-dramedy, vented his anger (complete with choice four-letter words) over the band refusing to let their songs be used on the show. But he also dropped several other eyebrow-raising revelations, including what he thinks about Guns N Roses guitarist Slash (another Glee holdout) and how much Eminem wanted for usage of "Lose Yourself."

Fergie Has Got A Slash Obsession In The Video For “Beautiful Dangerous”

Thu Oct 28 2010 by Becky Bain
Fergie shows off her evil (and mentally unstable) side in the dirty, grimy video for her collaboration with Slash, "Beautiful Dangerous". After grinding on top of a TV with the legendary guitarist's visage playing and creating a magazine cut-out shrine to him, Billboard's Woman Of The Year goes to his concert, seduces him, drugs him, and has her way with him back at her roach-infested motel room. It's extremely disturbing, mostly because we somehow find roofies, kidnapping and knife play still really sexy when Fergie is involved. Watch the video (filled with more shots of the singer's perky derriere than we can count) below. More »

Fergie Jumps For Joy At The Sunset Strip Music Festival

Mon Aug 30 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman

This past Saturday, the sexiest Black Eyed Pea, Fergie, shared a stage with the legendary Slash for the Sunset Strip Music Festival held in West Hollywood, California. The 3rd Annual fest also included favorite pop artists Travie McCoy, Kid Cudi, Common, and Billy Corgan. The “Fergalicious” singer danced around stage in an outfit that screamed “rock ‘n roll”: a pair of the hottest, tiniest hot pants, fishnets and a leather busier. Her high energy set included the songbird’s infamous cover of Heart’s “Barracuda”, a few insane high jumps and even a cartwheel. See how Fergie and Slash tore it up at SSMF. More »


Justin Bieber Reclaims Top Spot On Billboard Chart. Sorry, Usher.

Wed Apr 14 2010 by Idolator Staff
And so the student becomes the master. A week after ceding the #1 spot on the Billboard chart to his protege Usher, teen sensation and monolithic Internet-devourer Justin Bieber is back on top. My World 2.0 reclaimed the title this week after selling 102,000 copies — what a lovely gift to Bieber on the two-year anniversary of his signing. Based on last weekend's performance, we're pretty sure at least one of those purchases was made by Tina Fey. So where does all this leave the Bieb's pal, Usher? See below for this week's chart deets.

Slash Defends Fergie’s Rock Cred

Wed Nov 18 2009 by Robbie Daw

After the cover of Guns N’ Roses’ “Paradise City” from the unlikely combo of Slash, Fergie and Cypress Hill made its way online last week, former GNR guitarist Slash Hudson took to his Twitter account to defend the curvy Black Eyed Peas’ fox’s inclusion on the track. Or maybe he’s just making a general assessment about Fergie’s rock chops. More »


Fergie’s Axl Rose Obsession Leads Her To Cover ‘Paradise City’

Fri Nov 13 2009 by Robbie Daw

It’s been a minute since we first learned that Fergie had added her leather-clad booty to the treasure trove of artists contributing to Slash’s upcoming debut solo outing, Slash & Friends. She’s in a pool with guesting Slash pals that includes such rock luminaries as Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Dave Grohl and—where you been girl?— Nicole Scherzinger.

Prefix has posted a clip of Fergie and Cypress Hill’s reinterpretation of Guns N’ Roses’ classic “Paradise City” from Slash & Friends—and, yes, it’s just as kitchen-sinkish as the best/worst stuff on Chinese Democracy. Hear it after the jump! More »


I Have An Idea: Let’s Make Nicole Scherzinger The New Lead Singer Of Velvet Revolver

Wed Oct 14 2009 by Maura

The lead Pussycat Doll is apparently the latest person to attach herself to Slash’s forthcoming solo album, which comes out next year and is set to feature a Love Boat-worthy cavalcade of cameos by the likes of Iggy Pop, Flea, Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson, Adam “Maroon 5″ Levine, and Jason Bonham. But why not just go all the way and re-record La Scherz’s forever-in-turnaround solo effort Her Name Is Nicole as a collaborative effort between the Pussycat Dolls’ chief vocalizer and the still-in-search-of-a-frontperson semi-supergroup Velvet Revolver? Let’s face it—both projects need a big shot in the arm, buzz-wise, and this could maybe almost do it in a “so crazy, you have to check out the MySpace page at least once” sort of way… [AceShowbiz / Photo: Getty] More »
