The Ying Yang Twins Remixed Justin Bieber's 'Boyfriend,' Obviously We're Obsessed With It

Posted 5/10/12 1:05 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music


The Ying Yang Twins remixed Justin Bieber's 'Boyfriend,' it's dope.

It's not like Justin Bieber's masterpiece "Boyfriend" even needed a remix, but I guess if we're gonna get one, then having the Ying Yang Twins do it is probably our best bet. When "Boyfriend" was first released, fans noticed comparisons to the Ying Yang Twins' song "Wait (The Whisper Song)," so the Ying posse took it upon themselves to give the tune a proper remix. Naturally, the outcome is as you'd expect it to be: pretty effing bomb.

The Buzz On: Matt Toka

Posted 5/10/12 12:08 pm EST by in Music


Bamboozle is just around the corner, and all this week we'll be bringing you The Buzz On a few of the festival's acts so you can know before you go. Check out today's Buzz On, Matt Toka.

Matt Toka has had it opposite of easy in recent years: His parents got divorced, his mom and grandpa wound up in jail and the punk rocker's old band, Cherry Monroe, fell apart. But after trading his one-way ticket to Bummerville for a move to L.A. and writing a few new songs, he's ready to start over solo. And the green-haired musician has a lot to say: With its rapid-fire pop culture references, his single "Say10" sounds like a punk take on R.E.M. word salad "The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)." (Also because it has a line about "the end of the world." Influences!) On other tracks, Toka's a dude with a bad attitude: "Whoever said mo' money, mo' problems is a d***," he snarls on "Get Money," a song that dreams of having "a castle for a crib." Aww. Going to pour one out for Biggie now.

Listen to Matt Toka after the jump.

Britney Spears Officially Joins 'The X Factor' As A Judge, We Hyperventilate

Posted 5/10/12 10:15 am EST by in Celebrity, Music, News


OMFG y'all, it ACTUALLY happened. After rumors were swirling about Britney Spears joining "The X Factor" as a judge, we were so excited that we punched a fire extinguisher box. Oh wait, that was Amar'e Stoudemire. I mean, we were so excited that we just waited patiently to hear if the news was official. And... IT IS. Godney will be gracing our television screens every week as the newest judge on the next season of "The X Factor." Yessss!

This decision didn't come cheap -- Brit is reportedly earning a whopping $15 million to sit at the judge's table, and we can't even fathom what that paycheck looks like. And forgive us, but we're having a hard time imagining what kind of advice Britney will give to the up-and-coming musicians. It's almost like that time I had to teach an Internet 101 class to a group of retired factory workers (true story) -- how do you go from writing HTML all day to explaining what Google is? How does Britney Spears go from conquering the music industry to explaining what an octave is? But that's all in the fun of watching! Well that, and just GETTING TO SEE BRITNEY SPEARS ON TV EVERY WEEK.

"The X Factor" returns to Fox this September. Auditions for the next season are currently under way.

Star Spotting: Miley Cyrus Is Totally GORG In Her New Twitter Photo

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


Miley Cyrus: Super gorgeous.

We are dying over this Miley Cyrus photo right now, guys. Miley uploaded the pic yesterday to Twitter and tweeted to photographer Brian Bowen Smith, "I <3 you. I really do." UM, we love that dude, too. You. Look. AMAZE. From the side-swept bangs to the quadruple lashes you're rocking, you look like a little rock-and-roll cherub or something. Also, any idea how much a session with Brian runs? Because I could really use a new Twitter avatar myself.

My friend recently asked me, "Are you ever Facebook stalking through strangers photos and think, 'I want their life?'" And I was all, "No way, man, my life is great and you can't measure yourself against other people." But then I secretly just wait for Miley to upload new photos and cry myself to sleep a little. Teach us your ways, Milers!

Star Spotting: Here's (More) Proof That Beyoncé And Jay-Z Are The World's Cutest Couple

Posted 5/9/12 6:30 pm EST by in Celebrity, Photos


Beyoncé and Jay-Z share a sweet moment at a book-signing party.

Anybody got a Hallmark hookup? 'Cause this photo of Beyoncé and Jay-Z needs to be sprawled all over some greeting cards so we can send them to each of our exes every single person in the world and properly remind them what real love looks like. This photo is like, THE CUTEST EVER of Bey and Jay... and we would know! We spend hours lamenting over every single one of their precious moments caught on film on a daily basis. (And, yes, our therapist already knows all about this little hobby of ours.)

The "''03 Bonnie and Clyde" duo were snapped capturing yet another flawless moment of their equally flawless relationship in their beyond flawless life during L.A. Reid's wife's private book signing in New York. While we can't ignore the obvs reason why this pic is so lovely -- Beyoncé wasn't named People's "World's Most Beautiful Woman" for nothing -- we're mostly swooning over all that adoration for each other oozing out of their hearts. On a related note: This pic has officially become a visual representation of the criteria you must meet if you wanna date me. BRB, got to update all of my very normal online dating profiles with that exact same sentiment.
