It seems like only yesterday Britney Spears was raising eyebrows as a teenage Catholic schoolgirl vixen in her “…Baby One More Time” music video. And was it really 20 years ago when lil Brit Brit belted out “Love Can Build A Bridge” on the hallowed stage of Star Search?

“I’ve had my own opinions as each new release dropped since then and each time while I may have disagreed I could see where each side was coming from either yea or nay. But now we have Wrecking Ball and of any original release that the best guitar picker from Asbury Park, New Jersey has let out in to the world this is the one that has the power, strength and consistency to most deservedly sit at the bar and toss ’em back with those other records of Bossman yore. Yes. I’m telling you to feel all right if you’re in a hurry and slip this new album in between Nebraska and Born in the U.S.A. While you’re out you shouldn’t feel disrespectful or bad about it.”
It’s happy news time as rapper Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose have officially got themselves engaged! Read the tweetin’ love-fest including a congrats from uncle Snoop Dogg and a photo of Amber’s new bling-ring of love.
I’ve gotten rather used to Katy Perry’s numerous makeovers and different looks, but when I saw her photo on the cover of the upcoming March issue of Interview magazine I literally did a triple take! Though her looks often vary, they’re usually bright, colorful, and fun – but this look is downright sinister, sultry, and sexy! (And doesn’t look like Katy at all!)

and tell him to come and get it, not realizing what I had just said.
Howard Stern did his job again as he got Maroon 5’s lead singer and The Voice judge Adam Levine to over share during an appearance on his radio show. Actually this TMI-fest also included Adam’s Victoria’s Secret model girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna too as they discussed Adam’s co-host Christina Aguilera, how the two met and one other topic of general import. While Adam coaches ’em up pretty well on The Voice as his team claimed victory in season 1, I wouldn’t suggest that anyone go to the kid for birth control advice. Read and hear Adam’s “fail proof system” for not making babies along with what Anne would do if it did fail.

It’s been over three years since the domestic violence incident that shook the pop culture world. Now, after lots of drama and legal proceedings, Chris Brown and Rihanna have been hanging out again.
Part of Chris Brown’s 2009 punishment for hitting Rihanna was that he wasn’t allowed to see her. February 2011 Brown got his restraining order downgraded to a “level one” meaning that he can now spend time with Rihanna, but cannot “annoy, molest, or conduct surveillance of the person on the order.”
Chris attended Rihanna’s 24th birthday party, though he tried to keep it a secret, even asking guests to sign a confidentiality agreement (his efforts failed big time.) The former couple have also released two collaborations together: “Birthday Cake Remix” and “Turn up the Music Remix.”

On Monday, however, the host got extremely emotional when she addressed the passing of fellow Jersey girl Whitney Houston and the trappings of addiction.

Perry and Brand have reached an official settlement in their divorce as is indicated by court documents we obtained.

We did some serious profiling of the glorious deckhand from the Clark but felt that her opera career was worthy of its own post.

We did a post earlier today featuring Christina Aguilera’s emotional rendition of “At Last” at the funeral of her mentor, legendary R&B singer Etta James. I confess that I was focused on Christina’s face, hands, and rather revealing neckline during the performance and failed to notice (as one commenter with a keen eye – and/or affinity for legs – pointed out) that there appears to be some sort of mystery fluid streaming down her leg. Is it makeup and sweat? Was Christina hiding a diet coke in her pocket? Could she possibly be a robot?!?
Last week popular music lost one of its icons when legendary R&B singer Etta James passed away at the age of 73.

What if I told you that a somewhat unheralded (chart wise anyways) release from 1992 would fall unquestionably under the title of my all time favorite live country music release? Not only that, but this release features covers only and is a completely acoustic affair. Well, this is exactly what I think of the unstoppable force that is Emmylou Harris and The Nash Ramblers At the Ryman. Take a detailed look back at an underappreciated live giant in the genre of country; a release and artist heralded for reviving The Mother Church of Country Music for which the album garnishes its name.
One of the things we don’t get to talk enough about in regards to Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 are the songs used on the program and how they often play a pivotal role in driving the mama-drama. All that’s changing now as MTV has announced the release of the official Teen Mom Soundtrack featuring songs used during the highly successful cable show. Find out where to get the songs, the full track list and complete full versions of all 12 songs from the release here.
Eyebrows were raised when it was announced Lana Del Ray would be the musical guest on last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live, one of the rare times a singer that didn’t even have an album out yet has received the honor. Her performances did little to prove the decision was a wise one as nearly everyone is offering up harsh criticisms, or at best, sympathy for Lana after her cringe-worthy renditions of “Video Games” and “Blue Jean.” Keep reading to watch the clips and decide for yourself if the decision to have her perform on the show was perhaps a bit premature.
When pop diva Christina Aguilera hit the stage at the AMA awards with Maroon 5 wearing an ultra-form fitting dress she received a serious backlash from haters about her weight.

John Parr got a grammy nomination back in 1985 for his song ‘Man In Motion” best known as the theme to the brat pack film St. Elmo’s Fire. Well Parr is still around and was so inspired by quarterback Tim Tebow that he was rewritten the song to a reimagined work called “Tim Tebow’s Fire.” This is real, he did that and you can listen to the audio and get the full lyrics here.
As further proof that reality shows can be educational as well as historically significant, the second episode of Thee History Channel’s new series Cajun Pawn Stars features a rare recording purported to be from 1952 and featuring rockabilly/rock and roll/country piano legend Jerry Lee Lewis – two years prior to when historians previously thought Jerry Lee cut his first demo. Goodness gracious… Great balls of fire!
