Taylor was in town to perform during the New Year’s Rockin’ Eve show, but she didn’t let that stand in the way of her and her new beau smooching it up at midnight. Luckily, there were hundreds of thousands of other on the street with them with cell phones so we got a photo of the momentous event as well as a video clip!
Christmas may have passed, but Shakira and her beau of nearly two years, Gerard Pique, have just gotten a very special gift. The pair has welcomed a baby boy into their lives just four months after their official announcement that Shakira was expecting.
Frank Ocean wrote “Wise Man” for Quentin Tarantino’s new movie Django Unchained, but while the director loved the song, he said he couldn’t find a way to fit it into the film and didn’t want to just throw it in there awkwardly. So Frank released the song himself, and it’s pretty amazing.
South Korean viral video sensation Psy has taken the world by storm with his addictively fun and surreal music video for the single “Gangnam Style,” which has surpassed Justin Bieber’s “Baby” as the most watched video on Youtube, recently becoming the first Youtube video ever to get a BILLION views! Yes, that’s right, I said a BILLION! So what does being an overnight viral video sensation with the most watched music video in the history of mankind equate to in dollars? I’ve tracked down two different accounts of the estimated revenue and constructed two handy dandy graphics illustrating their findings.

A few weeks ago Charlie Sheen gave Lindsay Lohan $100,000 to help settle her tax bill, but says he still hasn’t received any thanks.

Being a first time mommy is always hard and after giving birth to her first child with partner Simon Konecki on October 19th, Adele forgot something pretty important.

South Korean internet sensation Psy dominated 2012 with his unavoidable “Gangnam Style.” It is already the most watched clip in YouTube history but something tells me that his popularity in the United States may soon take a serious hit.

The autopsy of late rapper Notorious B.I.G., real name Christopher Wallace (aka Biggie Smalls), has finally been released. Wallace was murdered back in March of 1997 after attending the 11th Annual Soul Train Music Awards. Although his murder remains unsolved, the autopsy reveals new details about his injuries.
Just a few days ago I wrote about Mariah Carey and her revealing attire doing their best to help light up the Christmas tree in Rockefeller center. In the post I argued that Mariah’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” is probably the best holiday song of the last 20 years. Superlative statements like that can be irritating I understand but bear with me as I make another. Carey joined Jimmy Fallon, The Roots and some seriously adorable singing kids to lay down the most wonderful rendition of the song you’ll ever see. It’s another clip in which the super-talented house band along with Fallon break out toy instruments and other assorted items to make a joyous noise. Check it out!
Merry DMX-mas y’all!

43-year-old Jodi has kept quiet for the past few years of her sister’s fame, but bristled at a recent video their dad uploaded on YouTube with the message “Don’t close the door on your children.”
She’s upset because she feels he was never a father to her, and abandoned her.

The former pageant queen turned journalist will be making her reality television debut on December 9 along with Lana Fuchs, Amy Handley, Jennifer Harman, and Lori Montoya.

K-Pop king Psy (short for “Psycho”) isn’t going anywhere soon. His performance last night of his viral hit “Gangnam Style” at the AMAS with MC Hammer brought down the house.
What does “Oppa Gangnam Style” mean?
Ke$ha has been the poster-gal for questionable fashion choices ever since she hit the pop landscape. Her Hot-Topic-inspired ensembles and over-the-top but not in a way it works like Lady Gaga usually manages wardrobes have inspired a tome of SMDHs. Every once in a while Kesha Rose Sebert will step out sans the outrageousness and the results are usually good. This change-up potential was on full display as Ke$ha hit the red carpet at the AMAs looking great in an (hold it) understated beaded dress and high heel black shoes. See pics, her performance of “Die Young” (after being introduced by a legend) and a funny interview in which she said she’d shack up with The Biebs – after verifying his age.
Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton are quickly becoming one of the most adored couples in country music history. Part of what makes them so appealing is their obvious passion for each other and some seriously sharp-tongued senses of humor. This ability to laugh at it all has been put on full display as the two have taken to Twitter to poke fun at the pregnancy rumors that have been making the rounds as of late. See the tabloid cover that really stirred this all up and read Shelbert’s funny dismissals.
It’s been a good week for Rihanna. She released the music video for her newest hit single “Diamonds” (written by Sia) and she performed said song at the controversial Victoria’s Secret show while wearing a pair of awesome pair of vintage Chanel sunglasses from 1994. (That’s right, 1994 is vintage.)
One woman died and 19 others were injured during a Linkin Park concert on Wednesday in Cape Town, South Africa when a wind gust blew down a promotional billboard.

Christina Aguilera’s “Your Body” is already a success for her, but this new performance makes it even better.
Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert must be competing for Cutest and Sweetest Couple in the World. Their “wild” and adorable marriage was featured in this week’s People Magazine, and last night Miranda Lambert gave a moving and tearful CMA acceptance speech for “Over You.”
Christina Aguilera burst on the scene as a tiny teen with a huge voice. Now, several hit albums, one marriage, and one reality show later, she’s much curvier — and she loves it. However, in the just-released add for her new perfume, Royal Desire, she’s looking like her old self — but with some seemingly anatomically incorrect body parts.
Neil Young’s annual Bridge School Benefit Concert has played host to some of the most memorably soul-altering acoustic performances in recorded history, and this year was no exception — but thanks to Axl Rose and the current incarnation of Guns N’ Roses, the “soul-altering” was not in a good way. At all.

October is just about my favorite time of year to be a celebrity blogger because there’s nothing much I like more than celebrities in Halloween costumes! When it comes to dressing up for Old Hallow’s Eve, I like the good, the bad, the ugly, the scary, the sexy, the funny, the wince-worthy, the clever, and the lame. The Black-Eyed Peas lead singer Fergie managed to qualify for good, funny, and clever with her transformation into Lindsay Lohan!
Taylor Swift has made it her thing to write about the men she’s dated, and the people in her life, in her confessional songs; even going as far as to leave clues to who they are about in the liner notes of her CDs (There’s a good ploy to keep getting people to buy traditional CDs Taylor!)
Her upcoming album Red (dropping October 22) is no exception. Below is a guide to all of Taylor Swift’s songs that are obviously about someone in particular.

On Thursday singer Fiona Apple entered into the Hudspeth County Texas Marijuana Bust Hall of Flame alongside such notable tokers as Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg when she was arrested after a drug sniffing dog (not Dogg mind you) caught wind of Apple’s tour bus and police found about four grams of marijuana and four grams of hashish in a backpack.
