Thirty Seconds To Mars To Release Fourth Album + Jared Leto's Lost In The Woods? (VIDEO)

Posted 4/25/12 1:29 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music, Must See, News, Videos


Thirty Seconds To Mars to release fourth album

Praise, y'all! Thirty Seconds To Mars has just confirmed that they're heading into the studio to start work on their fourth studio album (!!!!!). This next disc will be a follow-up to the band's This Is War, which just so happened to help them set a little thing called a Guinness World Record for "Longest Concert Tour by a Rock Band." NBD.

Jared Leto confirmed in a press release that Thirty Seconds To Mars' next album will be a "dramatic departure from the past... very orchestral, narrative, interactive and even more electronic than previous projects." Jared will be producing the album along with several other big name producers, including the famed Steve Lillywhite (U2, The Killers).

The Thirty Second To Mars boys are working out of a studio in the Hollywood Hills, but they're also fulfilling their duties to be complete badasses: They're traveling to India, Africa, Yosemite and the California desert to record some of their material. (And I will be applying for the role of baggage handler.) We have a hunch this is going to be the most eclectic Thirty Seconds To Mars album to date, and we'll probably fall hard for it (and Jared Leto) over and over again.

But, wait, there's more! We received this totally spooky video of a bearded, French-speaking Jared Leto lost in the Hollywood Hills, "Blair Witch" style. Jared is in the middle of inviting fans to visit VyRT.net to buy a virtual ticket to watch MARS perform a live show this Friday, April 27, but then mayhem ensues, and the video abruptly cuts off, leaving us terrified.

The band is also flying two lucky fans out to L.A. to see their live set! So basically what you need to do is this: Watch the video, visit VyRT.net to buy virtual tickets to the upcoming Thirty Seconds To Mars show (sale ends today!) and get a chance to win two tickets to see the band IN PERSON when they perform this Friday. Also, HELP FIND JARED!

Lady Gaga Reveals European Tour Dates, World Freaks Out

Posted 4/10/12 5:00 pm EST by in Music, News


Petits Monstres (that's "Little Monsters" in French) of Europe, freak your ish out, 'cause Lady Gaga's headed your way! Now you really get to see what American culture is truly like -- crazy costumes, multiple personalities and tons of outfits made of hair -- all up close and personal. (Uh, yah...)

Mother Monster tweeted a photo of her upcoming European tour dates for her Born This Way Ball: "ATTENTION EUROPEAN LITTLE MONSTERS: THE BORN THIS WAY BALL FIRST 21 DATES ARE HERE." (All caps, guys -- she's just as excited as us!) And because it wouldn't be an official Gaga event without some surprises, British band The Darkness (of "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" fame) announced that they'll join her on the first stop in Bulgaria. No word on whether the glam-rock band will open every show.

The European tour kicks off Aug. 14 and includes Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, German, France, and the U.K. before she wraps up the tour in Spain. BRB, quitting our jobs and backpacking across Europe for a few months to be a Gaga groupie -- Auf Wiedersehen!

Going On Vacation With Hanson Is A Real Thing You Can Do

Posted 3/23/12 5:00 pm EST by in Celebrity, News


Most people might not think spending $2,999 to go to Jamaica to hang out with Hanson for a week is a wise investment, but those people aren't me and that might not be their lifelong dream. Too bad for them, more "Can you help me with this suntan lotion?" for this gal.

The brothers Hanson recently announced that they needed a vacay (get in line). Unlike you or I browsing Priceline unrequited for hours on end, they decided to go to Jamaica and invited all of their fans. To mark their 20th year as a band, the dudes are heading to the Breezes Grand Resort in Negril, Jamaica, for five days of fun in the sun. Look forward to three performances from the band and two additional performances from "artist friends" Hanson has invited to join the festivities. Also, the following things are listed on their site, so we know they have to happen or I'm seeking litigation:

+ Mix Jamaican drinks with Isaac
+ Learn to cook Jamaican food with Taylor
+ Tie-Dye Session with Zac

A TIE-DYE SESSION WITH ZAC!!!!!!!!!! Hanson's "Back To The Island" vacation extravaganza takes place in January 2013 and is only available to Hanson fan club members. Tickets are on sale now and oh, payment plans are available. (I'm talking to you, Mom and Dad.)

Me eating shrimp on the beach with Hanson before we all get married even though they're married.
