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.
Finland; cold, stoic, home of the Whooper Swan. It's also the home of Mari Kasurinen, artist and visionary. What does this modern art master do? What is her mode of expression? Mari Karsurinen specializes in My Little Ponies, people.
Behold: the My Little Gaga (found on World Of Wonder via Buzzfeed). It's Lady Gaga... as a My Little Pony. Kasurinen has rendered several popular culture icons as My Little Ponies, including Princess Leia, Edward Scissorhands, and the alien from, well, Alien.
I doubt Lady Gaga would take any offense to being represented this way. If anything she's probably just annoyed that she can't throw one of these into the super deluxe version of The Fame: Monster. (Or can she?)
Kevin Jonas! He's a year older! The senior member of the Jonas Brothers singing and rocking and "Bounce"-ing ensemble has turned 22, and we're all here to say, mazel tov, homie!
Nick and Joe stay mugging for the cameras and breaking young girls' hearts and having said young girls write tunes about them (coughTaylorSwiftcough... and is that a Demi Lovato rumor we're hearing?), but Kevin Jonas will always be the big dude behind the dudes.
You know me (you don't know me, really, but you know me, you know), I always have the terms, "Mariah + Carey" and "Christmas" on my Google Alerts. So imagine the rush of blood to the head I felt when I was hipped to the existence of this revolution in holiday Mimi merchandising.
But, hark, I was wrong. But it's still awesome because Ms. Glitter is warming up your Christmas with a virtual yule log. The DVD fire burns while Mariah's holiday standards warm your soul.
Watch a preview of Mariah's yule log burning -- it's Mariah with extra fiyah -- and while you're at, visit the ghost of Christmas past with Mariah's take on "All I Want For Christmas Is You."
The 2009 MTV Europe Awards are just one day away, and the show's not gonna start in Berlin without... Beyonce, who'll be performing her hit song, "Sweet Dreams," live!
I love Twilight. You love Twilight. The votes have been counted: EVERYBODY LOVES TWILIGHT. But for serious, where do we draw the line?
Dressing up like characters? Sure, have at it. Rocking Team Edward or Team Jacob shirts? Why not? But, at a certain point, cooler heads have to prevail. Have we come to that point? Take a look at the latest piece of Twilight memorabilia and you tell me.
Behold: Robert Pattinson panties. For the woman who has everything... except for Robert Pattinson's icy, undead stare embroidered onto the front of her underwear.
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!
But there's something far more urgent that needs to be discussed here: it looks like Demi's copped the super deluxe version of The Fame: Monster! No, Demi is not rocking one of Lady Gaga's blond locks (yet), but Lovato is GOING HARD in one of those sparkling hoodie things (a staple of Gaga's look). And Demi went ultra metallic at the 2009 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards and at the UK premiere of Hannah Montana: The Movie. And this past week, Demi Lovato showed up to Disney's 2nd Annual Concert For Hope in a gold-and-black metallic top that hearkened back to Lady Gaga's VMA red carpet dress. (Minus the neck brace.)
The Demi interview took place on the set of her "Remember December" video. I'll be rather curious to see if that clip features any walker and crutches-aided choreography.
From the annals of absurdity in consumerism, let us know turn our attention to the forthcoming super deluxe edition of Lady Gaga's The Fame: Monster.
What's super about it? Well, there are eight new jams included, including the new single, "Bad Romance." That would go under the definition of super, I suppose. But what's deluxe?
The Woodies are coming -- mtvU's annual campus-friendly award show will air on MTV, MTV2, mtvU and Palladia on Friday, December 4, at 10 pm.
This is a truly democratic affair in which you can have a real say in who goes home with the wood. That's right, you can vote for the winners in the major categories.
All the performers are also nominees for Video Woodie (best video, basically). First, we got the skronk-garage blues of The Dead Weather. Jack White's other, other band is nominated for their NRA-fever-dream of a clip for, "Treat Me Like Your Mother."
Then you've got some lilting, some chiming, some longing, some Death Cab For Cutie. DCFC are nominated for their video for "Grapevine Fires."
But they'll be performing their single from the New Moon soundtrack, "Meet Me At The Equinox."
And last, but least clothed, we have Matt and Kim, who will be performing their strip-tease anthem, "Lessons Learned." Will they do it in their birthday suits? You'll have to check it out to see.
