Obsessively blogging about pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from inside the MTV headquarters in Times Square. We also have a slight Jonas Brothers problem. And a little fixation with Tokio Hotel.
Ke$ha is a bad girl gone worse. Last night's makeup and glitter still liberally applied to her face, she's putting off the morning after by charging right into the next night.
Ke$ha (real name Kesha Sebert) is a California girl. With a musical family, she was probably bound to wind up on stage and in front of the camera but, credit to her, her rise has been hard-earned.
Now she's on her own, and by the looks of the video for her debut single, "Tik Tok," she plays as hard as it works. It's a down-and-dirty electro jam with Auto-Tune flirtations. Check out Ke$sha's "Tik Tok" video below, and watch Ke$ha's live MTV UK video performance.
There have been many huge guests on It's On With Alexa Chung, but possibly no one as internationally massive, iconic, or sought-after as the inimitable Lady Gaga who appeared live on It's On With Alexa Chung on MTV today.
Missed the show? Watch Lady Gaga discuss her upcoming "Bad Romance" video, guesting on Beyonce's upcoming "Video Phone (Extended Remix)" video, her upcoming The Fame Monster release and all of its amazing collectible contents, and see why Lady Gaga doesn't think she's "made it." Seriously. Plus, see what Lady Gaga has to say about Miley Cyrus, what she thinks of the red no-pants outfit she wore on TRL, what she likes to eat late at night, the Hitchcock references in "Bad Romance," and how she's liberating her fans -- her "little monsters" -- though her music.

Well, this is absolutely ridiculous, unsettling and insane. Many people were disappointed by Miley Cyrus' decision to delete her Twitter account. While some may have understood her reason (she wanted to live in the moment rather than Tweeting about living in the moment), some may have still felt like they were being deprived of a frequently-updated look into the life of one of pop's biggest stars.
Now, one of those unhappy ex-@MILEYCYRUS followers has taken matters, and the life of a cat, into his own hands.
Behold the latest sign of the apocalypse: the Save Fuzzy movement.
Somewhere in this forsaken world a man has decided that if Miley Cyrus does not return to Twitter by November 16th, he will not only end his cat Fuzzy's life, he will also make his cat into meal. Fluffy's owner specifically states:
"I do not consider myself a cruel person and I do love my cat. Fuzzy will receive quick and swift death and I'll try to minimize his suffering. As a disclaimer I must say that most recipes require to behead or suffocate the cat and then rapidly pluck and dress it. Unfortunately I have no experience with that so I really hope I won't hurt Fuzzy too much... but I'm sure eventually everything will be okay! As soon as the meal is prepared and eaten, I will update the Pictures section with photos of the resulting meal, as well as some notes and impressions from someone who had his first cat-based meal in life."
Read that a couple of times to let it sink in.
The moral, ethical and sanity questions are legion here. Should Miley Cyrus be bullied into social networking by someone willing to kill their cat for someone else's killed-off Twitter account? Should this person even be allowed to OWN a cat? And WHERE is PETA when you NEED them?
Sadly, we will be keeping an eye on this developing situation. If you need more of Fuzzy's possibly tragic tale, follow the fiasco on Twitter at @mileysavefuzzy. And Miley, SAVE THIS CAT!
Just because you LOVE Lil Wayne does NOT mean you need a cake in the likeness of his visage. While this Lil Wayne cake does have a proper iced-out (GET IT?) grill (and LICORICE for hair -- should I be offended?) they missed the tatted-on tear drops. Boo. No Lil Wayne cake's complete without tat drops.
And who is the lucky recipient of the Lil Wayne cake? Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger's daughter, Ireland, the subject of that nasty "rude, thoughtless little pig" voicemail message from doting dad Alec Baldwin. Because nothing says "I'm sorry" like an edible version of Lil Wayne's head!
Still, the Lil Wayne cake is far superior to this half-assed Miley Cyrus/ Hannah Montana cake. You can just tell that Miley's Hannah Montana icing wig tastes like glue. Party in the USA, guys!
Paramore got the went under the microscope of none other than Dr. Alexa Chung (who received her PhD from Oxford in Interviewing Technique) recently.
Paramore discuss the state of daycare on this past summer's No Doubt tour (which they opened), and long for the protective earphones worn by the tykes who accompanied Gwen and the Gang. Other highlights:
The band goes on to chat about their Brand New Eyes album and generally display the unassuming cuteness and likability that makes us all love them to death.
Unless you've been enjoying an active career as a cave dweller then you're already well aware that TOKIO HOTEL IS MAKING THEIR NOBLE RETURN TO MTV. (I think I already saw a few of you camped outside in the rain!)
Tokio Hotel be here this Monday, October 19, when they'll be the guests of honor and perform live on an all-new episode of It's On With Alexa Chung.
And what would a Tokio trip to MTV be without BUZZWORTHY FAN QUESTIONS? Got questions for Bill, Tom, Gustav, and/or Georg? Make 'em good ones (generally I'm a pretty nice person, but I WILL make fun of you if I read comments like "Are Bill and Tom related?") and leave your questions in the comments below!
Young St. Lunatic (holler at Nelly), Josh Golden might look like a Tiger Beat pinup (crossed with Adam Lambert and Kevin Jonas), but beneath that perfectly messy mop is a genuine singer-songwriter threat.
Golden, who earlier this year released his self-titled debut at the ripe ol' age of 14, makes sugar-rush power pop with an edge that belies his years and genre: His songs are far more dynamic than what you usually get from a lot of teen rookies and helps dispel the stereotype that teen pop is all cheese, no meat. Plus, Josh Golden's got a great sense of humor as evidenced by his musical plea for Miley Cyrus to come back to Twitter. Watch it below, and check out songs from his debut album streaming at Josh Golden's MySpace. And follow him on Twitter at @Joshgoldenmusic.
Welcome to Bummertown, population: Kanye West. How does the world not love him, let us count the ways.
Ever since the "Heartless" one interrupted teen queen Taylor Swift's moment of VMA glory he's really caught a bad one. First, his highly anticipated (if hard to imagine going off without a hitch) tour with Lady Gaga got canceled (we investigate like 60 Minuteshere).
Then, after some erratic behavior had been reported here and there (and on, um... TMZ), Kanye skipped out on the BET Awards. The show, which was taped this past weekend, would've seemed like a logical place to find West, who was nominated for nine awards, but he was a no-show.
Now, in the wake of rumors that Yeezy has jetted off to India to find himself, dude's clothing line has been discontinued. His Pastelle line will apparently never see the light of day. (Or, it'll just haunt some dusty TJ Maxx racks.) Here's hoping for happier days for the dude. Despite what you might think of his personality/public displays of speech-making, he's still a much-needed voice out there in pop.
Before she was a freaky fashion icon, fake-feuding with Madonna on Saturday Night Live, or launching ill-fated tours with Kanye West, Lady Gaga, like many cash-strapped New Yorkers, would do just about anything for $100. Including be on MTV's Boiling Points, which was an MTV hidden camera reality show that was kind of like Punk'd in that the point was to annoy people, except without the assistance of a perpetually-cracking-up Ashton Kutcher. If the unknowing subjects -- in this case, Lady Gaga -- didn't lose their s++t, they'd get $100.
See what happened when a Boiling Points waitress came between a virtually unrecognizable brunette Lady Gaga (she's far easier to recognize when covered in blood or walking with a Bedazzled cane) and her lunch in Gaga's unknowing MTV debut. (Spoiler: Gaga doesn't get the hundred bucks. Oh well. She ended up with "The Fame." Get it? See what I did there?)
Okay, first of all, I hope everyone feels better (and stops interrupting Taylor Swift or whatever). But all of these concert cancellations JUST SO HAPPENED to occur the same week as the International Olympic Committee decided which city would host the 2016 Summer Olympics. And if you read between the lines, you'll discover the REAL reason why Gaga and Kanye and Miley and Paramore and The All-American Rejects' shows were canceled! Don't believe the hype! It's all just a big conspiracy theory!
OBVIOUSLY Lady Gaga, Kanye, Miley Cyrus, Paramore, and The All-American Rejects are trying out for the Space Olympics... which have ALSO BEEN canceled. No idea what I'm talking about?
