The Buzz On: Angelique Sabrina

Posted 5/14/12 4:00 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music


Angelique Sabrina may be the next Rihanna, guys.

Comparisons aren't always welcome, except, of course, when you're being hailed as the next Rihanna. At only 14 years old, island-pop artist Angelique Sabrina is already garnering comparisons to RiRi while making a name for herself in her native Bahamas. Girl is a bona fide all-around threat, too, killing the game as a singer, songwriter, actress, dancer and model. Mini hustler alert!

Listen to Angelique Sabrina after the jump.

New Video: Jaden Smith, 'Give It To 'Em'

Posted 5/14/12 2:55 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music, Videos


 

Jaden Smith debuts his video, 'Give It To 'Em.'

We're dying to know what Will and Jada Smith put in their kids' baby bottles to grow offspring with such unstoppable musical abilities. Willow Smith's already a successful "Fireball"-er, but now her 13-year-old bro Jaden Smith is stepping up to the mic in his first solo rap song/video, "Give It To 'Em." (Remember when he dropped rhymes with Justin Bieber?) Apparently, Jaden has lived a really privileged tough life, and he has something to say about it.

Watch Jaden Smith's "Give It To 'Em" video after the jump.

Taylor Swift Whips Out The Old Family Photos For Mother's Day! (PHOTO)

Posted 5/14/12 2:00 pm EST by in Celebrity, Photos


A young Taylor Swift matches her outfit to her mom's.

We didn't even have to tell you that Taylor Swift was gonna tweet some cute-ass ish on Mother's Day, but boy, did she DELIVER. Taylor is known for posting adorable cat photos, cat videos and pics of her and her famous pals hanging out. But nothing could have prepped us for the adorable overload that was gifted to us by Taylor on Mother's Day.

In honor of the day of moms, Tay tweeted an INSANE-CUTE photo of her and her mama, Andrea, legit wearing coordinating outfits. (Velvet: a childhood classic.) Along with the pic, Taylor tweeted: "Celebrating this Mother's Day, reflecting back on past matching velvet holiday ensembles." First, Taylor, you were such a cute kid! Like, we can't even really take it. Second, you both are working those oversize white collars. Lastly, Taylor, I'll see your matching holiday ensembles and raise you two matching Mickey Mouse sweaters that my mom got us at Disney World when I was 11. Lemme know if you wanna compare embarrassing pics -- I guess the only difference is that I grew up me, and you grew up famous.

ZOMG! Demi Lovato Confirmed As New 'X Factor' Judge

Posted 5/14/12 12:45 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music


Rumors have been swirling for weeks, but yay -- we can now officially confirm that Demi Lovato will be an "X Factor" judge! In between being generally amazing and announcing her North American summer tour, the "Give Your Heart A Break" singer will also make time to critique up-and-coming musicians alongside Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid and effing Britney Spears! EVERYTHING IS AMAZING!

Now that the entire new panel is confirmed, we feel it's safe to say that it's seriously gonna kill. Simon will bring the snark; L.A. will bring the cool, calm and collected years of wisdom; Brit will impart her adorable Southern drawl; and Demi will be lighthearted, supportive and constructive! After all, Demi is totally about self-acceptance. We're pretty sure that even if a contestant seriously blows, Dem will find the nicest way possible to let them know not to quit their day job. Mazel Tov, Simon -- we're fully stoked on this new lineup.

NEW ALBUM RELEASES

Tuesday, May 15

+ Adam Lambert, Trespassing: It's finally here! The title track (which nods to "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen, whom he'll sing with this summer), the Bruno Mars-penned, Dr. Luke-produced "Never Close Your Eyes," and the reflective ballad "Better Than I Know Myself" are just a few of the songs with which we're obsessed... and incidentally, here are 10 things he's obsessed with.

+ Rye Rye, Go! Pop! Bang!: Once M.I.A.'s sidekick, now an artist in her own right, Rye Rye's debut features three collabos with M.I.A., whose label imprint N.E.E.T released the album. Highlights include the oscillating rhythm bomb of "Drop Off Shake Off," dancefloor banger and Tyga-assisted "Shake Twist Drop," the slick rap-pop ballad "Never Will Be Mine" featuring Robyn and the infectious "Boom Boom."

Star Spotting: Lady Gaga's Meat Dress Returns!

Posted 5/14/12 10:00 am EST by in Celebrity, Photos


Lady Gaga dons an updated version of her 2009 meat dress on the Born This Way Ball in Tokyo.

Oh, Lady Gaga, we've missed you. Since she's been prepping for her overseas leg of her Born This Way Ball, it seems like things have been fairly quiet on the Gaga front (save for that little tweet she sent about not eating -- we still aren't so happy about that). But it looks like she's got her appetite back. The "Marry The Night" singer recently posted a photo to Facebook of her sporting a new, sexier version of that infamous meat dress from the 2010 VMAs, and we love it. Also, did you ever think you'd read a sentence containing the words "new, sexier meat dress"?

Famed photog and Gaga pal Terry Richardson snapped the stunning shot of Lady Gaga during her performance of "Americano" during the Born This Way Ball in Tokyo. The singer's featured in the middle of the stage dressed in her finest beef, flanked by two cow carcasses. Nothing says "This is how we do things in America" like a couple of slaughtered animals. We repeat: We've missed you, Lady Gaga!

MTV PUSH Artist Of The Week: T. Mills

Posted 5/14/12 6:00 am EST by in Celebrity, Interviews, MTV Featured Artist, Music, PUSH, Videos


T. Mills (aka Travis Tatum Mills) started making music like any other millennial from SoCal might -- in his bedroom on his laptop. But T. was able to turn his little hobby into a real deal record contract in just about two years. "I made a Myspace page and I put some pictures up, and kids just started finding my page," Mills says about being discovered. But it's not like it just fell into this lap -- he worked hard for his fanbase. "I would literally spend eight to nine hours a day on my computer, adding kids and talking to my fans." After heading out on the road and scoring a coveted spot on 2009's Warped Tour, T. eventually inked a deal with Columbia in 2011. Boom. Time to get famous.

T.'s probably most known for his to-the-point track, "Vans On," which tactfully informs women that he will, when asked politely, "love" them with his Vans on (!!!). But there's much more to learn about the Cali rapper than his bedroom style. Check out our exclusive video interviews with Mills where he opens up about his Leaving Home EP, his unexpected fanbase and being the subject of various tattoo art: "It's just crazy to me that someone would want my name on their body for the rest of their life... And sometimes I'm like, 'Yo, when you get married, what's your husband gonna say?'" That's a ton of tat insight, especially coming from someone who has a "F*** The Haters" tattoo on his face. As for what fans can look forward to from T. on his upcoming debut album, Mills is moving on up. "I feel like every body of work I put out, it just keeps on improving... I try to take full advantage of the recording process and just improve. I feel like when you get comfortable that's when things kinda stay still." Damn. T. Mills should make e-cards.

+ Download a free copy of T. Mills' "Diemonds" (produced by The Monsters and The Strangerz) from his upcoming mixtape "Thrillionaire." Check out his video "Vans On" below, and peep our video interviews after the jump.

Star Spotting: Katy Perry Goes Goth, We Like It!

Posted 5/11/12 6:30 pm EST by in Celebrity, Photos


Katy Perry tosses up the horns while rocking a goth look at the NARM Music Biz Awards.

When we saw this photo of Katy Perry, we kinda thought Marilyn Manson just had a super phenom makeover. JK! We don't really think Katy and Manson look anything alike; we just got the same "Don't make eye contact 'cause they might find out you're not one of them" feeling from this pic (like when we see most Manson videos). Honestly, we love Katy's transformation, and we're not one bit intimidated of the new darker look.

Katy warned us that her next album was going to be "real f***ing dark," and judging by the recent goth-like outfit she wore to the NARM Music Biz Awards (where she won Artist 0f the Year!), she wasn't kidding. If we had to guess what her next record will sound like based on the photo she tweeted, we'd say something exactly like Teenage Dream, except less peppy and more screaming, drum smashing and tons of Taylor Momsen-like headbanging. No matter what, we'll love whatever Katy's evolution may entail -- even if it means shopping at Hot Topic to show our support.
