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.
+ In case you missed it, there was TOTAL DRAMS at last night's Much Music Video Awards in Canada. It was QUITE the spectacle: Lady Gaga had her poker face on, and she had a couple of flamethrowers for boobies. You won't believe it. (Much Music)
+ Later on in the night, after doing an onstage bit with the Jonas Brothers and then being badgered throughout the night relentlessly by Fergie and Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas about saying mean things on his blog, Perez Hilton allegedly got attacked by the Peas' manager (though we're not really sure why beating up Perez Hilton would make anyone feel better). (Associated Press)
+ Meanwhile, back in the States, Beyonce/Sasha Fierce was kicking off the North American leg of her tour to a packed house at NYC's Madison Square Garden. (Socialite Life)
+ Oh. And just one day after Father's Day, Chris Brown struck a plea deal by pleading guilty to beating the crap out Rihannaback in February. A little probation and some community service? Sure. Why not? (MTV News)
+ This mom hates her life right now: (as if the Universal Music Group needs any more money), a Minnesota mother of two was just ordered by a federal jury to pay $1.92 million to several record labels for illegally sharing 24 songs online. It's like it's 2001 ALL. OVER. AGAIN. (NY Times)
+ Madonna recently doled out some unsolicited career advice to Adam Lambert: "Keep your eyes on the prize." In Madonna's case, prizes are small children in Africa. (E! Online)
+ And as we all pretty much assumed, Amy Winehouse filed papers to permanently park her bony ass in St. Lucia. Do we care?? (NME)
+ Singer Kelis (who is seven months preggers) has filed papers in court to try and squeeze some more money out of her ex-husband Nas. Never mind that she has hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry she could sell. eBay it, gurl! For the children! (Bossip)
+ Brooke Hogan has been talking about her mom a lot lately -- and not in a good way! (E! Online)
+ Debunking all those rumors that she is pregnant, Fergie revealed that she put on 17 pounds for a film role with actress Penelope Cruz. (US Magazine)
+ In what seems like a rude-dude move, Katy Perry (real name Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson) has sued an Australian designer by the name of Katie Jane Perry. Who do you think has more of a case? (Agent Bedhead)
+ Oh look! There's media darling Lindsay Lohan Tweeting topless pictures of herself. Thanks, Linz! Seeing that just made gayer than I already am, if that were somehow even possible. (Bitten & Bound)
+ Don't go getting your hopes up, Perez Hilton. Adam Lambert is NOT into you! What's that sound? Oh! It's just Perez getting out his claws. (Parade)
+ Brooke Hogan has a new video out for her song called "Falling," off her forthcoming album. The song doesn't sound bad, but does anyone care? (PopCrunch)
+ Kanye West of course pleaded "not guilty" to misdemeanor charges stemming from last September's incident at LAX in which a photog's camera and equipment were thrown to the ground and smashed into bits. "Not. Guilty." (E! Online)
+ We meant to tell you about this yesterday, but the Black Eyed Peas new song "Imma Be" from their forthcoming album is reeeeeally hot. It's not their next single, but it should be. (Rap-Up)
+ And evidently Fergie is a hater -- a GERM hater, to be exact -- pouring hand sanitizer on just about anything (Josh Duhamel, we feel your pain). (Star Magazine)
+ Rapper T.I.'s jail sentence was falsely reported to have been reduced to just over two months -- which would have been good news for the guy who at least tried to do a little good before going to jail. The U.S. Attorney General's office clarified Tuesday afternoon that he will indeed serve all of his one year and one day sentence. (MTV News)
+ Hahah... looks like Lady GaGa's leotard leanings landed her in trouble with Russian authorities, who mistook her for a hooker. (TMZ)
+ Michael Jackson just selected the dancers that will be performing with him during his run at London's O2 arena. Recognize "Jersey" from MTV's Dancelife (spoiler alert: it doesn't look like she made the cut)? We're not gonna lie -- how in the HELL is MJ going to even move his body?? (Bossip)
+ Fergie recently revealed that she has dipped her toes in the Lesbian Sea. How progressive of her. (The Blemish)
+ Britney could be making a surprise appearance on the season finale of American Idol this week. Wonder if she'll perform her next single "Radar?" (Extra)

+ Latin superstar Paulina Rubio dishes about her insanely successful music career that has spanned more than 20 years. (Blogamole)
+ And John Mayer wonders why people think he's a bag? (ICYDN)
+Something tells us that if Fergie isn't willing to slow to down to give Josh Duhamel a babezorz, there are a MILLYUN guhls who would KILL for that job. Tick tock, Fergs. You better step it up! (Hollywood Rag)
+ Never mind that Britney released "Blackout" two years ago, and that the song "Radar" was featured not only on that album but also on her most recent album "Circus" -- the song will now be her next single. Wonder if she's going to make a video for it? (Dean Kelly)
+ Uh oh. Amy Winehouse is scheduled to perform in St. Lucia today. Do you think our favorite thirsty turtle will make it all the way through without fainting? (People)
+ Nudie photos are all the rage these days. First there were Cassie'snibbly bits on parade. Now, is that really Rihanna? Her bum looks all sorts of hot, but that don't mean you should go snappin' pics of it! (The Blemish)
+ International Euro-dance super-sprite Kylie Minogue just announced that she will embark on her first-ever North American tour later this year. We can't wait to go to the NYC show and then report back on what costume ideasBeyonce will gank for her tour in 2015. (Popnography)
+ It's a real effin' shame that we don't have a unitard fetish or we'd be all over Katy Perry's new "Fashion Against AIDS" campaign for H&M. (PopCrunch)
+ Christina Aguilera will make her feature film debut as a burlesque dancer in the forthcoming movie titled -- yup, you guessed it -- Burlesque. (Star Magazine)
+ The jury is still out on Michael Jackson's "comeback" with doctors now saying he's too frail to perform in his current state. (Monsters and Critics)
Okay. JOKE TIME! What's about four inches high, made of faux snakeskin, zips up the front, does cartwheels, and sometimes pees itself in concert? If you guessed the "Jonas" heel from Fergie's shoe line, you're TOTALLY right!
As you may or may not know, Fergie recently launched her eponymous Fergie and Fergalicious line of strappy, ornamented, buckled, and Ferg-rageous shoes for spring, all of which retail from between $39 - $129.
But did you KNOW that one of the styles in her "Fergie" line is named "Jonas"? Fergie's "Jonas" sandals are about $80, made of faux snakeskin, zip up the front, and come in fuschia, "natural snake," and black. JUST LIKE THE JONAS BROTHERS, right? And I've heard that Fergie's Jonas heels also have secret Flubber in the insoles to make doing cartwheels while wearing leather pants and singing "Barracuda" just that much easier.
I'm not sure what the correlation is between Fergie and the Jonas Brothers and cagey sandals, but color me intrigued.
Anyway, Jonas fans, would you wear Fergie's "Jonas" heels?
Oh, the lengths to which Tyson Ritter will go for your happiness... Months ago he stood on a Malibu beach, staring down the icy ocean water, knowing exactly how much it was gonna hurt to jump in.
The All-American Rejects' frontman used an airplane metaphor to describe the inevitable suffering, saying that he knew his "landing gear" was gonna come way up in that chilly water. "I might have ovaries by the end of the day," he joked. Had he seen this coming, the song may have been called "The Ocean Blows."
After watching the Rich Lee-directed (Fergie, Chamillionaire, Evanescence) video for "The Wind Blows," I can safely say that it was well worth the shrinkage. The video -- a hazy ocean-side romance, perfectly matches the song's melodic heartache. The band describes it as a "love story that doesn't end bad, it just ends." Kinda like their latest album, When The World Comes Down: a thrilling emotional rollercoaster that has to end, but does so on a positive note. Follow the Oklahoma boys down to the Malibu beach, and watch the dreamy video for their second When The World Comes Down single, "The Wind Blows."
+ Even while dressed like she's going to a Jazzercize class taught by Helena Bonham Carter, Lady GaGa's managed to take a ride on some guy named "Speedy's" disco stick. Seriously, what is UP with those LIPS?? (Socialite Life)
+ In real life, however, Fergie Fergs looks like she needs to hit the Nioxin bottle a little harder than she has been. Get you a Topsy Tail, girl! WORTH. IT. (Star Magazine)
+ Tuesday LOLz courtesy of card-carrying Mensa member Kim Kardashian, who fell asleep in the sun with ski goggles on. See for yourself. (The Blemish)
+ Eminem's new album Relapse features a likeness of the rapper from pills doled out by Dr. Dre. Sweet. (XXL)
+ Back on May 5th with more "teaches," far-from-moldy Peaches discusses her new album (aptly titled I Feel Cream) and the electro-clash movement she helped to build. (Pop.nography)
+ Fergie performed for the First Family this Sunday at the annual Easter Egg Roll thingie. But what truly made us spit out our Fresca is little Malia Obama's face when Fergie Fergs starts getting into her trademark Ethel Merman stage voice. Uh. Mayzing. (Us Magazine)
+ More proof that Miley Cyrus has buried the hatchet in her feud with Nick Jonas, the two were spotted going to lunch together in L.A. this weekend. THEN they got in a fender bender. Ahh... young drivers! (Just Jared Jr)
+ WTF did Cassie do to her hair and why does she look exactly like some blonde Australian singer we've never heard of? (Rap-Up)
+ Green Day will kick off the release of their eighth studio album, 21st Century Breakdown, by going a more intimate route, performing at Bowery Ballroom in NYC on May 18th. (The Tripwire)
+ Hmm... P!nk and ex-hubby Carey Hart working things out? What will she sing about if she's not hating on him?? (Bitten & Bound)
+ We're starting to wonder if Britney is saying stupid s**t over the mic at her concerts on purpose. Like, maybe she places bets with her dancers before a show, or maybe it was from a round of Truth or Dare from the night before? Either way, TURN OFF BRITNEY'S MIC, maybe? Yah? Is good idea? (E! Online)
Oh, the lengths to which
