New Song: Hoodie Allen Featuring Kina Grannis, 'Make It Home'

Posted 5/17/13 3:30 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music

Hoodie Allen teams with Kina Grannis for "Make It Home"

Hoodie Allen gets sentimental on the Kina Grannis-assisted "Make It Home."

Hoodie Allen has worked his butt off in the past year (not that we were checking it out or anything...), and now he's FINALLY got some time to reflect. His self-released EP, All American, hit No. 1 on the iTunes charts, he werqued it and twerked it all up on some hot chicks in a baked goods food truck in "Cake Boy," and he partnered with Chiddy Bang on the tell-off "Fame Is For A******s." And now, after that wild roller coaster ride to success, Hoodie is slowing it down and getting contemplative on his new Kina Grannis-assisted track, "Make It Home."

New Songs: The Weeknd, 'Kiss Land/John Carpenter' (NSFW)

Posted 5/17/13 2:00 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music

Listen to The Weeknd's "Kiss Land."

The Weeknd has some issues to work out on his jarring double release, "Kiss Land/John Carpenter."

We've been falling for the slow jams of Canadian crooner Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd, as much as anyone over the past year; you'd have to have no heart, or ears, or, uh, pants-parts not to. But on this new one-two punch from his upcoming LP, Kiss Land, the already hyper-sexualized R&B crooner digs even deeper, if you know what we mean, into the lover-man-on-the-road down-and-dirty details, and it's giving us a funny feeling. But that's probably the point.

Lady Gaga Is Out Of Her Golden Wheelchair And Back To Confusing Us On Social Media! (PHOTO)

Posted 5/17/13 1:00 pm EST by in Celebrity, Photos

Lady Gaga's up and out of her golden wheelchair!

Lady Gaga's up and at 'em...and back to posting cryptic photos!

It feels like it's been a hot FOREVER since we last heard from Lady Gaga, who recently disappeared from her "Born This Way Ball" tour to heal from her hip surgery. Well, PUH-RAISE the 'net, 'cause it looks like GAGALOO has officially left her 24-karat golden wheelchair and is back to stumping the world with cryptic/artistic/metaphorical/what-the-eff-does-it-all-MEAN photos. What? Did you expect her first major internet comeback pic to be some lame-ass duckface selfie? Psh. PLEASE.

The "Lady Is A Tramp" singer shared her photo on Littlemonsters.com along with a very thought-provoking caption: "It is a dangerous place where we put ART, but sacred where we make it." At first we thought Gaga was quoting some mastermind artistic genius (like Versace -- hence the tape across the singer's eyes), but after some thorough Google research it seems safe to say that this caption is Mother Monster's very own poetic genius. Hey! Maybe it's a lyric from her upcoming ARTPOP album?? Or maybe she's hinting at a new line of inspirational refrigerator magnets for art students? Either way: Welcome back, Gaga! We missed you and your mysterious ways!

Star Spotting: We're Pretty Sure Rita Ora And Calvin Harris Are Officially A 'Thing'! (PHOTO)

Posted 5/17/13 10:05 am EST by in Celebrity, Photos

Rita Ora and Calvin Harris are holding hands, which means they're a couple!

New couple alert!

We'd kiiind of heard rumors that U.K. super-producer Scott Calvin (aka Calvin Harris) and Jay-Z's Roc Nation songbird Rita Ora were dating, but now we have full confirmation! Well, fine, it's not exactly full, but the two were caught holding hands and looking miiiighty datey last night while leaving a sushi restaurant in London, and if an old-fashioned hand-holding moment in this day and age doesn't say "we're official," then we don't know what does!

Truth be told, we were sort of rooting for Calvin to make it official with his "I Need Your Love" video co-star, Ellie Goulding. But we suppose if those two can't make a go of it, then the "Shine Ya Light" singer is isn't a bad choice either, because, well, remember her GORGEOUS Elle magazine cover?? Also, we don't know him personally (can that change?), but we kiiiind of get the vibe that Calvin's a total badass, so it makes perfect sense that he'd go after a lady who (gracefully) flips us the bird! Mazels, you two!

Posted 5/16/13 6:00 pm EST by in Celebrity, Photos

One Direction's Niall Horan is a BBQ pit master!

One Direction's Niall Horan serves up some BBQ!

As if we needed ANOTHER reason why One Direction's Niall Horan is such great boyfriend material, we can now say that the boy band member is a BAWSE at the grill! So, in addition to his stellar career success, phenomenal physical shape, adorbz fast asleep look, healthy sense of sportsmanship, and playful sense of humor, Niall can now add "badass chef" to his "I'm a total catch" résumé! Ladies of the world: Niall IS single. Guys of the world: This is what you're up against. Let the games begin!

The "Kiss You" singer shared the photo on Instagram along with the caption "Hell yeah! I'm BBQ'n tonight! Chef nialler is in the house mothetruckerrs." First, don't try to scratch and sniff the delicious-looking meat on your computer screen -- it won't work, trust us. Second, we might be on to who cooked Harry Styles' backstage chicken dinner! If this whole boy band/3-D movie star/heartthrob thing doesn't work out for Niall, he could always become the next Gordon Ramsey! Just think about it: food AND boy band members... TOGETHER?!! It's like, our two favorite passions in life colliding! We're seriously drooling just thinking about it. (Um, ew.)

Watch Diddy's 'Scenes' From His 'Role' On 'Downton Abbey' (NSFW) (VIDEO)

Posted 5/16/13 5:00 pm EST by in Celebrity, Videos

Diddy joins the cast of "Downton Abbey" for Funny Or Die.

Diddy "joins" the cast of "Downton Abbey" for Funny Or Die.

Earlier this month, "Downton Abbey," the beloved U.K. soap about the lives of the most lovable and emotionally screwed up early 20th century aristocrats ever, announced that they had cast the first black actor, Gary Carr, to appear on the historical drama. Naturally, the announcement catalyzed a flurry of speculation about the role; the only thing we knew for sure is that Gary's character would be a "charming and charismatic" jazz player named Jack Ross. But just when we thought we knew everything about "Downton" Season 4, yesterday on Twitter, Diddy announced that there'd been a slight change of plans. (And that he's a closet "Downton" freak.)

Uh, did we read that correctly?!? We haven't been this psyched for a PBS program since "Sesame Street"!

Watch Diddy's scenes from his "role" on "Downton Abbey" after the jump.

Posted 5/16/13 4:30 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music

 Kanye West unveiled new material at last night's Adult Swim Upfront.

Kanye West unveiled new material in a pyramid at last night's Adult Swim Upfront.

I know it makes me WAY less cool to say this out loud, but I did feel pretty special attending a private Kanye West gig last night. Kanye was the guest performer at the beautifully curated Adult Swim Upfront event at New York's Roseland Ballroom, and while I was expecting him to to play for maybe 30 minutes max, Kim Kardashian's side eye-loving baby daddy whipped out a nearly 90-minute set, which -- needless to say -- made the celeb-packed room VERY HAPPY.
