Rihanna Kisses Rita Ora, Chills With M.I.A And Knows Every Famous Person Ever (PHOTOS)

Posted 5/21/12 5:30 pm EST by in Celebrity, Photos


Rihanna plants a smacker on Rita Ora! 

Rita Ora and Rihanna hung out the other night, quashing any rumors of a rivalry between them. Sure, it makes sense that the world would pit the singers against each other -- they're both signed to Roc Nation, they've both been publicly championed by Jay-Z, and they're both ridiculously hot. But that doesn't mean they have beef, so check yoselves. In fact, according to an adorable new pic (above) they're BFFs. While at a party celebrating Jay-Z's manager's birthday, Rita snapped a pic of Rihanna giving her a big lip-smacking kiss on the cheek. Rita tweeted: "@rihanna hatin a$$ biatch!!!! Mwah!!!!!!" (We're not at all sure what that actually means, but it's probably a term of endearment.)

New Video: Kreayshawn Featuring 2 Chainz, 'Breakfast (Syrup)'

Posted 5/21/12 4:25 pm EST by in Music, Videos


 Kreayshawn and 2 Chainz are eating 'Breakfast' together.

After 2 Chainz put out the video for their collaboration "Murder" last week, Kreayshawn rides that internet wave and drops "Breakfast (Syrup)," the long-awaited and highly anticipated follow-up to last summer's "Gucci, Gucci" and the first single off her upcoming debut album. Is this good? I can't really tell.

Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong Gave Mark Zuckerberg The Best Wedding Present Ever

Posted 5/21/12 3:46 pm EST by in Music


 Billie Joe Armstrong and his wife on their way to Mark Zuckerberg's wedding, NBD.

You know what's cooler than a million dollars? No, seriously: Billie Joe Armstrong playing at your wedding. In pretty much the best wedding present ever, the Green Day frontman made an appearance at Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and girlfriend Priscilla Chan's surprise nuptials over the weekend to play 21st Century Breakdown ballad "Last Night on Earth." The touching moment was captured on video from behind bushes outside the wedding (not creepy at all), so you'll have to imagine Billie Joe's adorable facial expressions as he dedicates the acoustic track to his own wife.

"Mark wanted me to play this song… this song is one that I wrote for my wife of 18 years -- it better be for her, or I’d be in deep trouble," he joked before introducing "Last Night on Earth." Aww. True love! Since our invite to the wedding obviously got lost in our Facebook inbox, Zuckerberg should definitely make it up to us by posting the full video (from the other side of the hedge, please!) on his wall ASAP. In the meantime, we'll cross our fingers that it never gets too, um, complicated for these two crazy kids. Luckily, any couple endorsed by Billie Joe is probably going to work it out.

Beyonce Dominates At Pool! Are You Surprised? (VIDEO)

Posted 5/21/12 2:36 pm EST by in Celebrity, Videos


Guess what, guys: Beyoncé isn't just a perfect dancer, singer or award-winning journalist -- the girl will also kick your ass at pool. And you thought the superstar would be too busy taking over the world to pick up mad skillz as a billiards baller. Pshh. (That whole diva is a female version of a hustler thing takes on a whole new meaning now.)

Beyoncé's homemade "How to Play Pool" video includes black-and-white footage of a younger Bey -- we're not exactly sure when the clip was filmed-- enjoying a game with a friend at a pool hall along with some hilar step-by-step instructions on how to win at pool just like the "Party" singer. Scenes catch Beyoncé talkin' smack, serving goofy faces and even showing off a perfectly choreographed victory dance (obvs).

While we're really not surprised that Bey kills it at pool (she wins at EVERYTHING in life), we're actually more surprised nobody in that joint is flipping their ish over the fact that Beyoncé's IN THE SAME ROOM AS THEM. We're also wondering if Bey currently offers private pool tutoring -- geometry was never our thing.

Rihanna Joined Kanye West And Jay-Z On Stage During Their Watch The Throne Show In London (VIDEO)

Posted 5/21/12 1:35 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music


 Rihanna made a cameo at last night's Watch The Throne tour stop in London.

I'm gonna go ahead and begin with a quick #humblebrag and let you know that I attended one of Kanye West and Jay-Z's sold-out Watch The Throne shows at NYC's Madison Square Garden. Sure, I may have had the sickest seats EVER (which may have been situated in front of Lauryn Hill, near Spike Lee, and with clear view of Diddy), but wanna know what my show didn't have? An effing cameo by Rihanna!

Kimbra, Garbage Release Albums; An 'American Idol' Winner Is Announced + 'Duets' Premieres

Posted 5/21/12 12:30 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music, The Week In Pop


Welcome to Buzzworthy's "The Week In Pop," where we round up new album releases, talk show musical guests and TV performances by your favorite pop stars and more (so you don't have to).

You're already familiar with Kimbra's lovely singing on Gotye's ubiquitous "Somebody That I Used To Know" and as our PUSH artist of the week; on Tuesday, check out her debut album, Vows. Former "American Idol" contestant Haley Reinhart also drops her Listen Up! debut album, and electro alt-rockers Garbage return with their fifth studio album, Not Your Kind Of People, after a seven-year hiatus. (Read all about why Buzzworthy writer Sam Lansky is excited for Garbage's return.) Also this week: "American Idol"'s Season 11 winner will be announced, and just in time to stave off singing competition withdrawal, "Duets" premieres. It features Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Robin Thicke and Jennifer Nettles.

NEW ALBUM RELEASES

Tuesday, May 22

+ Kimbra, Vows: Her debut effort gets its Stateside release. Vows shuffles through a variety of genres, from the jazzy pop grooves of "Settle Down" to the R&B-inflected "Something In The Way You Are" and "Come Into My Head," as well as the soulful "Plain Gold Ring." It's an eclectic brew that's unified by her versatile vocals.

+ Garbage, Not Your Kind Of People: Many female frontwomen are indebted to Shirley Manson, whose powerful alterna-pop voice broke through a haze of '90s male grunge and propelled several Garbage songs into big hits. Coupled with the band's electro-rock instrumentation, along with Butch Vig's production sensibilities, their new album is a welcome return to form.

+ Haley Reinhart, Listen Up!: Runners-up on "American Idol" can become as big (if not bigger) than the winners themselves (see: Adam Lambert, Katharine McPhee). Haley Reinhart placed third last season, and with songs like "Free" from her debut album, she could be poised for runners-up luck, too.

Check out more new album releases and upcoming TV appearances and performances after the jump.

Video Premiere: He Met Her, 'Control'

Posted 5/21/12 11:52 am EST by in Music, Videos


Check out He Met Her's gorgeous video 'Control.'

In the stunning new "Control" video by He Met Her, no surface is safe from the L.A.-based disco-pop duo's super-fierce sexiness. In the first few seconds we see Rocky Chance and Mowgli Moon (both freakishly beautiful, with the sort of flowing locks our wildest hair dreams are made of) pull up to a pink motel in a matching pink vintage car. Shortly thereafter, the two get real affectionate -- on the motel bed (with palm trees projected onto the wall behind the headboard), in the empty diner next door, and outside in a magical desert rainstorm that just makes their hair look all the more gorgeous.

Watch Kelly Clarkson, Usher And Katy Perry Perform At The Billboard Music Awards (VIDEO)

Posted 5/21/12 11:30 am EST by in Celebrity, Music, Videos


We're not even sure where to begin with Kelly Clarkson's performance at last night's Billboard Music Awards. It's like, do we first talk about her ridiculously amazing voice? Do we comment on her incredible dress? Or maybe we should start by freaking the eff out because Kel premiered her gorgeous new single, "Dark Side." Actually, let's just begin by reminding y'all that Kelly's got one of the best sets of pipes in the game! Backed by a full band, Kelly's voice was center stage and it was clear she didn't need any special outfits, dancers or pyrotechnics. Kelly definitely continued on her hotness streak by wearing a stunning floor-length red dress, but you and I both know that the "Duets" judge could have worn a used garbage bag and we still would have loved every minute of her song.

Watch Justin Bieber, The Wanted Perform At The Billboard Music Awards (VIDEO)

Posted 5/21/12 10:30 am EST by in Celebrity, Music, Videos


Brace yourselves, y'all, because we're about to discuss Justin Bieber and The Wanted at the SAME TIME! Both of these powerhouse artists performed at last night's Billboard Music Awards, and they both effing killed it. Yo Billboard, is there any way you can have the Billboard Music Awards every Sunday? It might devalue the legitimacy of the awards a bit, but these performances weren't enough! MOAR PLZ.

Star Spotting: Katy Perry Brings Grandma Perry To The Billboard Music Awards, Adorableness Ensues

Posted 5/21/12 10:00 am EST by in Celebrity, Photos


Katy Perry brings her grandma to the Billboard Music Awards, we swoon.

While some might have been expecting Katy Perry to bring her rumored new beau, Florence + The Machine guitarist Robert Ackroyd, to the Billboard Music Awards, Katy instead asked her adorable grandmother to join her. Which is just more reason to love Katy Perry -- she's always surprising us AND she loves her grandma!

It was a big night last night for Katy as she stunned the crowd with her acrobatic "Wide Awake" performance and received the Spotlight Award for tying Michael Jackson's record for most No. 1 singles off of one album. While those might have been the standout moments of the evening for Katy, we have to say our standout Katy moment was actually Grandma Perry's cane. CHECK THAT THING OUT, y'all. Sure, Katy looked gorg as usual in her striking Blumarine lilac gown, but Grandma done got her cane bedazzled. I know we're reaching the moratorium for this word, but I'm pretty sure this event calls for one final utterance: SWAG.
