:: Many musicians are still riled up that the Recording Academy has eliminated over 30 categories (including Best Tejano Album, Best Zydeco or Cajun Music Album and Best Contemporary Folk Album) for this year's Grammys. A protest committee has been formed, and will stand protest outside the Staples Center on Sunday. Fans of Latin jazz, gospel and blues music have been invited to participate as well. [MSN]
:: The coaches for the Australian version of The Voice sure look familiar... bald, black singer, blonde female pop star, country guy, and non-threatening rocker dude. Check, check, check and check. [PopDust]
:: Simon Cowell says he fought to keep Paula Abdul as a judge on The X Factor, and that the only reason she was fired was because of him. "It’s only because I opened my big mouth and said we were going to get 20 million [viewers]... If I hadn’t said that, everybody would be saying the show was a huge success." [Pink Is The New Blog]
:: Look out for Taylor Swift's video for her Hunger Games song "Safe & Sound" to premiere Monday on MTV. Taylor will be chatting with fans following the video's premiere, too! [MTV Buzzworthy]
:: Kanye West and M.I.A. are soulmates if their equally ridiculous tour riders are any indication. [EW Music Mix]

Mon Feb 6 2012 by Becky Bain
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 »
Whatcha Say: Madonna’s Video And ‘The X Factor’ Got Our Readers Talking
Fri Feb 3 2012 by Idolator Staff
Madonna made sure she is all anyone is talking about this week, whether it was expressing her worth as a live performer, answering journalists' stupid questions, or revealing her new video "Give Me All Your Luvin'". But there was still plenty else going on — who did not get any luvin' this week was Steve Jones, Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul, who were unceremoniously 86'd from The X Factor, or Taylor Swift, whose exit from the Les Miserables cast did not leave many people weeping in despair. See what all the buzz was about in this week's reader comments.

Sorry — what was that? We could barely hear you over the locomotive that is the Madonna Train roaring through Planet Pop at 140 mph. The Queen truly soared and thrilled over the past seven days, but the week wasn't without heartbreak, as a bona fide R&B pioneer from the television world met a tragic end. Thankfully we had the Michael Jackson episode of Glee, the rise of UK gents The Wanted and the rad return of Garbage to ease the pain. See how all these music players ranked on our weekly Pop & Fizz hype index by heading below!

Taylor Swift Not Cast In ‘Les Miserables’ After All
Tue Jan 31 2012 by Becky Bain
Most of you agreed with us that Taylor Swift would be extremely miscast playing Eponine in the upcoming film adaptation of Les Miserables. But it appears that the country singer was either replaced, or perhaps never even accepted the role. Broadway World reports that British actress Samantha Barks (not Swift) will portray Eponine in the movie musical. Barks previously played the role in last year's West End live production, as well as in the 25th Anniversary Concert filmed at the O2. See Samantha perform "A Little Fall Of Rain" alongside Nick Jonas below, and tell us if Taylor would have done a better job with the song. (We'll save you some time: she wouldn't have.) More »

Mon Jan 30 2012 by Robbie Daw
In their joint Grammy promo ads, nominee Taylor Swift and host LL Cool J are all about dissing each other.

Taylor Swift took herself on a nice long walk in the London rain yesterday. With her giant brown umbrella and Hyde Park as the backdrop, the Sundance film buff looked as though she was in her own movie montage.

Taylor Swift Bundles Up For Sundance Film Festival (PHOTOS)
Fri Jan 20 2012 by Erika Brooks Adickman
For the Sundance Film Festival premiere of Ethel, Taylor Swift left her ’70s rocker clothes behind in lieu of a cozy cardigan, riding boots and a knit hat — perfect for the Utah chill. But the upcoming Grammy performer headed to Park City not to continue her search for the “right movie role”; she’s in town expressly for the HBO Ethel Kennedy documentary. This will come as no surprise to anyone who perused her recent Vogue cover story wherein T-Swift revealed that meeting the American icon is the only time in her life she has ever found herself starstruck (not to be confused with the pop star’s perfume Wonderstruck). Check out the “Safe And Sound” singer as she poses for the cameras and tell us below (or on Facebook or Twitter) if the songbird is stylistically playing it safe or just trying to keep warm! More »
Taylor Swift Gets Glam, Speaks Now In ‘Vogue’ (PHOTOS)
Tue Jan 17 2012 by Robbie Daw
Grammy nominee Taylor Swift is the latest cover girl to appear on fashion bible Vogue. Photographer Mario Testino, who’s worked extensively with recent Golden Globe winner Madonna in the past, was at the helm of the stylized shoot, which portrays Taylor as a glammed-up, ’70s-chic rock chick. “This is what I’ve wanted to do my whole life,” Swift says in her cover story. “It never freaks me out. Never. Ever. But you know what does freak me out? When is the other shoe going to drop? I am so happy right now. So I am always living in fear. This can’t be real, right?” It is real, Tay. And you, reader, can now flip through her very real photos for Vogue! More »
