New Video: Rihanna, 'Where Have You Been'

Posted 4/30/12 10:03 am EST by in Celebrity, Music, Must See, Videos


Rihanna dances her ass off in her 'Where Have You Been' video.

I'm pretty sure the only reason Rihanna even makes music videos is to remind her adoring public that she is seriously hotter than 99 percent of the entire human race. So in case you guys don't think that first thing in the morning every day already (am I the only one?), Ri's new video "Where Have You Been" is here to remind you: Rihanna is hot in water. Rihanna is hot in MC Hammer pants. Rihanna is so hot that her hands are literally on (CGI) fire at one point. Homegirl's smokin.'

Star Spotting: Taylor Swift And Dianna Agron Have A Dress-Up Party

Posted 4/30/12 10:00 am EST by in Celebrity, Photos


Taylor Swift, Dianna Agron and friends dress up for Dianna's circus-themed birthday party.

Is it too much to ask to get invited to just one Taylor Swift dress-up party? After seeing her and BFF Selena Gomez go H.A.M. on some cupcakes while sporting girly dresses (and sweatpants on Selena) last week, now seeing her at "Glee" star Dianna Agron's circus-themed birthday party is making us super jealous. I totally have the perfect ringmaster costume! (Don't ask.) Also, we're really into the whole tiger thing, Tay. It's working for you. (#hubbahubba)

The "Sparks Fly" singer tweeted this weekend, "The most magical night at @DiannaAgron's circus themed birthday party!" And we're all, "Um, is this an 'attractive persons only' birthday party?" I mean, seriously. Taylor Swift, Dianna Agron and Selena Gomez are like the Pretty Pretty Princesses of BFFs. Is that even allowed?

MTV PUSH Artist Of The Week: Diggy

Posted 4/30/12 6:00 am EST by in Celebrity, Interviews, MTV Featured Artist, Music, PUSH, Videos


We've been on Diggy's steeze for a minute now, but it's time for the rest of y'all to start paying attention. He hails from the Simmons clan (he's Rev Run's kid -- that would be the Run from Run-D.M.C.) and Kanye's already given him a certified thumbs-up (on Twitter, no less). He's been applauded for his ambitious cover of Drake's "Over" as well as "Flow Stoopid," his freestyle track set to Nas' "Made You Look." After success with his first mixtape in 2009 and signing to Atlantic in 2010, Diggy's just released his debut album, Unexpected Arrival, late last month. Now it's dude's turn to take over on his own, and we have no problem sitting back and watching him dominate.

We sat down with Diggy to discuss everything from following in his dad's musical footsteps to where he came up with the name Unexpected Arrival. Diggy also opened up about his feelings on the current state of hip-hop, and he had some pretty poignant words of wisdom, especially coming from a 17-year-old: "There's so much diversity right now. I definitely feel like [the hip-hop scene] is bringing it back to what it used to be... So many people have substance in their lyrics... so I just think we're bringing it back to making great, substantial music." Uhh, I didn't even know what the word "substantial" meant when I was 17. Well done, Rev. You raised a good one.

+ Check out Diggy's live performance of "Two Up" below, and peep tons more videos and interviews after the jump.

Star Spotting: Justin Bieber Broods, Reminds Us His 'Boyfriend' Video Is On The Way!

Posted 4/27/12 6:09 pm EST by in Celebrity, Photos



Justin Bieber takes being photographed very seriously.

Those flipping their ish out that Justin Bieber's new "Boyfriend" video will just be a painful montage of him drowning in water or making out with a Selena Gomez look-alike will be relieved to know that it may also include shots of him oozing serious swag while leaning against a slick ride. THANK GOODNESS.

Justin tweeted a photo to his millions of adoring BFFs that may or may not be a still from the "Boyfriend" video (!!!). He also tweeted this VERY exciting caption: "#BOYFRIENDvideo NEXT WEEK!" While there's no official release date, we can at least take comfort in knowing that Justin promises there's a lot to look forward to in the video. Also, judging by this photo, we will all sleep better knowing that the bro continues to be flawlessly photogenic... and (apparently) an official master of the very sexy "far off" stare.

Miley Cyrus Reunites With Her 'Hannah Montana' Brother, Jason Earles! (PHOTO)

Posted 4/27/12 3:30 pm EST by in Celebrity, Photos


Miley Cyrus reunites with 'Hannah Montana' brother Jason Earles!

If the cancellation of "Hannah Montana" was as big of a deal as losing your first love (me too!), than this photo of Miley Cyrus reuniting with her TV brother, Jason Earles, is dedicated to you! (Also, you may want to join me in reconsidering our emotional priorities.) We're pretty sure this is the only time we've ever gotten this excited about any kind of family reunion -- but everyone knows TV families are wayyy more fun than real ones. (JK, Grandma, love you.)

The "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" singer was snapped in an adorbz pic while chilling with her faux bro and shared it on Twitter. While we're not too sure what's going on with the Earle's-face-on-a-stick situation, we're just really happy to see that the ex costars are still in BFF status. Also, can we all be thankful for modern technology's ability to keep us up to date on these very important "where are they now" moments? If you're somehow reading this from 1996, remember the name "Twitter" and INVEST. EVERYTHING.

Posted 4/27/12 12:45 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music, Videos


Gym Class Heroes chill with the kids of PS22.

We always knew Gym Class Heroes were total dolls, but this takes everything to like, "pop stars of the year" level (or whatever the equivalent might be). The boys of GCH paid a quick visit to Staten Island’s Wagner College where they teamed up with the already internet-famous grade-schoolers of PS22 to sing their inspiring song "The Fighter." Originally recorded with OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, the song's message is one of positivity and strength, making it a perfect choice to sing with the kids. Also, THE KIDS!
