 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.

The Wanted's Jay McGuiness Pulls An Epic Duckface In Australia (PHOTO)

Posted 5/16/13 3:00 pm EST by in Celebrity, Photos

Jay McGuinness makes a duckface in Australia.

Duckface Alert!

We NEVER thought we'd say this, but turns out it IS in fact possible for a guy to look bangin' while making the dreaded (yet now iconic, thanks to the Kardashians) duckface! (You know, that face you make when you're trying to look hot by pursing your lips? Aka Selena Gomez's favorite expression? And Carly Rae Jepsen's? Sometimes fondly referred to as the kissy face?) And that person, my friends, is The Wanted's Jay McGuiness! I mean, can you say, "accentuated MANLY JAW"?!

Jay and the rest of the "Walks Like Rihanna" singers were snapped arriving at the Melbourne airport, and just as you might expect, the entire band was immediately swarmed by frantic Wanted Stans. While Max, Siva, and the rest of the gang posed for more, how shall we say, traditional fan photos, Jay took a different approach with a full-on duckface/kissy face! Now, while Selena, Carly, and the Kardashians probably all do the duckface on purpose, we have a sneaking suspicion that Jay was mocking the move, not embracing it. Either way, WATCH OUT KARDASHIANS! There's a new duckface in town, and it is PROFESSIONAL!

Rihanna Is A Living Example That Blondes Actually DO Have More Fun (PHOTO)

Posted 5/16/13 2:00 pm EST by in Celebrity, Photos

Rihanna's a blonde!

Yup, that's Rihanna as a blonde!

If Rihanna's recent "777" documentary proved anything, it's that there's pretty much NEVER a dull moment in her life. And you know what they say: "Blondes have more fun." So maybe that's why Rihanna dyed her hair blonde?!? (We repeat: The above photo is a picture of Rihanna showing off her new golden 'do!) Because apparently crotch grabbing, booty bumping, balloon posing, "leaf" loving, nudity enjoying, and IDGAF-ing just wasn't enough to prove that Ri really is a legitimate good time.

The "Stay" singer shared the photo on Instagram and captioned, "I woke up in a new....weave!" At first we were all, "Ohhh yeah... like people can just wake up with a whole new hair color...PUH-LEASE." But then we realized that this is RIHANNA. She probably does wake up all flawless because that's just how it works for super-talented pop stars (and when you can actually pay people to work on your beauty regimen 24/7). Besides, what better time for a new look and to say "See all this? You get none of it" to her recent ex, Chris Brown, than by tossing up a "Good morning boys, it's a new day and a new me!" photo? Rihanna FTW!

Demi Lovato Is A 'Warrior,' And She's Got A Tattoo To Prove It! (PHOTO)

Posted 5/16/13 1:00 pm EST by in Celebrity, Photos

Check out Demi Lovato's new "Warrior" tattoo!

Meet Demi Lovato's new "Warrior" tattoo!

What did Demi Lovato do to celebrate the release of her new album, Demi? Well, she probably did any number of things (in addition to drawing dirty pictures on "Live From MTV"), but the most visible thing she did was to get a brand-new tattoo! And let's be real -- Demi Lovato is certainly no stranger to the ink party! She's already got the word "faith" on her arm, a heart inspired by her fans, and a mini-sleeve of flying birds. And now, to top everything off, Demi's added the phrase "Now I'm A Warrior" to the back of her left shoulder! (Side note: We are LOVING that font!)

Star Spotting: Chavril Take Their All-Black Everything Show To NYC! (PHOTO)

Posted 5/16/13 10:05 am EST by in Celebrity, Photos

Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger rock black, and only black, at JFK airport.

Chavril: All-black everything professionals! 

By now we're pretty sure that #Chavril's (the romance between Avril Lavigne + Chad Kroeger of Nickelback) matching all-black everything ensembles is officially a "thing." We first saw the hand-holding couple (also, did YOU know that Chad helped Avril cowrite "Here's To Never Growing Up"?!) wear ONLY black in L.A., and now they're doing a total outfit repeat while at New York's JFK airport! And come to think of it, they also wore all-black everything in Paris! BOLD.

At first blush, we were kind like, "Guys, switch up the color palette a little!" Maybe a dab of pink for Avril, or perhaps some regal navy blue for Chad? But then we realized, NO! Chad and Avril are just living their all-black #bestlives and embodying their "couples' style," so we should totally leave them alone. Which brings us to the MOST important question: WILL THEY WEAR ALL-BLACK EVERYTHING ON THEIR WEDDING DAY?! Literally everything black except for Avril's glacier-size engagement ring?? Whatever, that actually sounds totally fine to us.
