Star Spotting: Rihanna Gives Her Bestie A Birthday Booty Bump 'N' Grind (PHOTO)

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

Rihanna gives best friend Leandra a lapdance in this photo.

Nothing says "happy birthday" like a bump 'n' grind photo!

We'll be honest -- along with world peace and good health, there are DEFINITELY a few superficial items on our birthday list, including, but not limited to, a lipstick red Celine bag, the Cartier Love bracelet, and maybe a year's worth of prepaid false eyelashes. That said, now that we've seen this photo of Rihanna giving her bestie Leandra a full-on booty bump 'n' grind for her birthday, we'd like to skip the Celine and Cartier. JUST GET US THAT!!

In honor of her bestie Leandra's birthday, the "Stay" singer "turnt up" by snapping a photo with the caption "birthday tun right up!!!! Yassss!!!! #s--tthatmatters happy birthday Lee Lee, we love you always!!!!" Honestly, who knew that in Ri's world "we love you always" DIDN'T mean a diamond-encrusted Rolex and DID mean a personal booty bump? Well, maybe we should've seen this coming. After all, remember that time Rihanna forgot to button her shirt in public, that other time she wore Prada boots and nothing else, or that time she got naked before playing a "Diamonds World Tour" show? We rest our case.

Posted 5/13/13 9:00 am EST by in Buzz Bites, Celebrity, Music, News

Watch Katy Perry join The Rolling Stones to perform "Beast Of Burden," Miley Cyrus hints new music at 2013 Billboard Music Awards + Kendrick Lamar plays principal for a day in today's Buzz Bites.

Katy Perry performed with The Rolling Stones over the weekend!

+ Watch Katy Perry strutting and rocking it with The Rolling Stones during their Saturday tour stop at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena. Together they performed a killer rendition of the Stones' classic "Beast of Burden." (Billboard)

+ Miley Cyrus might be dropping some new music soon! "Maybe y'all will find out a LIL sum at the up coming @billboard music awards!" she tweeted. "Maybe.... Like.... A.... Singgggg.....llllleeeee................." The 2013 Billboard Music Awards air this Sunday. (MTV News)

+ We don't know about your high school principal, but ours wasn't a cool rapper like Kendrick Lamar. As part of the "Get Schooled Celebrity Principal For The Day" program, Kendrick visited Rhode Island's Mount Pleasant High School. "Without education you don't have anything," the 4.0 achieving student and rapper shared. (Rap-Up)

+ Demi Lovato is on today's "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." During the interview, she addressed why she changes the color of her hair frequently. "I do this often... as you've heard, I'm bipolar. So I change my hair a lot," she explained. (Just Jared)

+ And speaking of Demi (who releases her latest album, Demi, tomorrow), check out her performance of "Give Your Heart A Break" and see Maroon 5 rock their "Moves Like Jagger" during Saturday's Wango Tango event in Los Angeles. (Idolator)

+ We're hoping G.O.O.D. Music's Hudson Mohawke will preview every new Kanye West song. Last week, he dropped some 'Ye snippets at an event in Dublin, and over the weekend, he played two more new Kanye tunes at another show in Poland. Check them out. (Pitchfork)

+ Vampire Weekend are set to drop their new album, Modern Vampires Of The City, tomorrow, and they performed on "Saturday Night Live" leading up to the release. Watch them play "Diane Young" and "Unbelievers" from their "SNL" appearance. (Rolling Stone)

Video Premiere: Tommy & The High Pilots, 'Outta My Head'

Posted 5/13/13 7:00 am EST by in Celebrity, Music, Video Premieres, Videos

Watch Tommy & The High Pilots' "Outta My Head" video.

Tommy & The High Pilots do the "I Like Someone!" dance in their new "Outta My Head" video.

You know that feeling when you meet somebody special and you don't have to do that whole first-date "So, what do you do?" routine? Like, when everything flows so effortlessly that suddenly over the course of two weeks you realize that you haven't ONCE worried about whether or not they'd text back? Because you knew that they just WOULD? Well, Santa Barbara's power-pop collective Tommy & The High Pilots should know what we're talking about in their colorful new "Outta My Head" video (the latest single off of their upcoming disc, Only Human), which essentially illustrates the universal, euphoric "THEY LIKE ME BACK!!" dance.

Song Premiere: Citizen, 'The Summer'

Posted 5/13/13 6:00 am EST by in Celebrity, Music, Song Premieres, Videos

Citizen get lost on their new single, "The Summer" from their forthcoming album, "Youth."

Citizen describe losing someone important in their new single, "The Summer."

Just when we were getting used to the idea of a new wave of bands reaching back to the glory days (aka the bummer days) of vintage emo, we're already jumping ahead to the brand-new days (or Brand New days, we should say). It's getting kind of hard to keep track of where we are in time lately; sometimes it feels like we're in a music-themed episode of "Lost." ("We have to go back!!")

Speaking of being lost, it's a feeling that the boys of Michigan's Citizen sound like they're familiar with on "The Summer," the first song off their upcoming album, Youth, on Run For Cover Records.

Listen to Citizen's "The Summer" after the jump.

New Video: Lana Del Rey, 'Young And Beautiful'

Posted 5/10/13 5:00 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music, Videos

Watch Lana Del Rey's "Young And Beautiful" video.

Lana Del Rey channels Daisy Buchanan in her new "Young And Beautiful" video.

Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" film adaptation has hit the big screen, so it makes sense that he'd tap Lana Del Rey -- the pop game's Daisy Buchanan --  to release a video for the soundtrack. Her offering, "Young and Beautiful," finds Del Rey channeling some of the film's spirit and the era's fragile glamour.

New Song: Mac Miller, 'Watching Movies' (NSFW)

Posted 5/10/13 3:30 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music

Listen to Mac Miller's "Watching Movies."

Something tells us Mac Miller's "Watching Movies" might be rated NC-17.

We don't want to sound weird, but we'd be into just about ANYTHING featuring a nude Mac Miller. (What?! We have a thing for vaguely emo rappers who know how to love!) Well, lucky for us, Mac's sophomore studio album, Watching Movies With The Sound Off (dropping June 18!), features exactly that.

And that's not all of today's good Mac Miller-related news: Along with Mac's nake-o album art comes a slightly less naked single: "Watching Movies."

New Video: HAIM, 'Falling (Leonard Friend Remix)'

Posted 5/10/13 2:00 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music, Videos

Watch HAIM's "Falling (Leonard Friend Remix)" video.

HAIM team up with Leonard Friend for a brand-new "Falling" remix (and video).

Los Angeles indie rock sister act HAIM seem kind of in love with everything retro, and frankly we're still reeling from their '90s R&B meets Fleetwood Mac single, "Falling." So it's probably a good idea that the 2013 mtvU Woodies performers would team up with R&B-pop singer-producer Alex Feder, aka Leonard Friend, to remix their highly addictive single, which comes newly packaged with auditory references to Zapp, Phil Collins, and TLC. (What, no Fleetwood?). Oh, AND there's a groovy (that's a purposeful adjective -- you'll see why in a second) new music video to match!

New Video: Mariah Carey Featuring Miguel, '#Beautiful'

Posted 5/10/13 11:30 am EST by in Celebrity, Music, Videos

Watch Mariah Carey and Miguel's "#Beautiful" video.

Miguel and Mariah Carey sing each other's praises in their "#Beautiful" video.

It's not like we didn't know Mariah Carey's arms were seriously toned (I mean, did you SEE her Cinderella wedding vow renewal dress??), but HOLY EFF, MiMi looks unreal in her "#Beautiful" video featuring soulful throwback R&B crooner Miguel! It's like the return of the "Fantasy"-era abs up in here, and we are NOT complaining.

Song Premiere: Kyle Andrews, 'The Way To Wonder'

Posted 5/10/13 6:00 am EST by in Celebrity, Music, Song Premieres

Listen to Kyle Andrews' "The Way To Wonder."

Kyle Andrews is all about the good times in his new track, "The Way To Wonder."

Nashville's Kyle Andrews, an indie pop player since 2006, not only has an obvious knack for next-level infectious melodies, but he's somehow mastered the art of hooks with a sound so unshakably happy, it could even make Debbie Downer crack a smile. In terms of sound, Kyle's style lands somewhere between the whimsy of fun., the plucky pitter-patter of Good Old War, and the vocal expressiveness of Conor Oberst. But unlike Mr. Oberst, Kyle has no malaise to speak of, and his predilection towards pure, no-holds-barred ebullience is currently on full display in "The Way To Wonder," the lead single off of his forthcoming album, Brighter Than The Sun.
