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.
+ Since everyone else is doing something vampire-related these days, Henry Rollins figured he'd jump on the bandwagon (along with Iggy Pop and Moby) and star in Suck, a spoof movie about the vampire trend. We seriously hope they get Leslie Nielsen to make a cameo (Dracula: Dead And Loving It anyone??). Pretty sure he's probably booked tho. Watch the Suck trailer for a ridiculous look at Moby, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, and Henry Rollins. (Twenty Four Bit)
+ And for all the Twilighters out there who just can't get close enough to R.Patts and his famous Edward Cullen pout, now you can have him watching over your nibbly bits while you're hosing yourself down in the shower. (Street Level)
+ Leona Lewis is set to debut her sophomore album Echo in November of this year, after being the best-selling new artist of 2008. Seriously excited for this one...
+ American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert has evidently recorded some amazeballs song for the upcoming disaster flick 2012, and this photo shoot he did ain't bad either. He's so oddly attractive, we can't put our fake fingernail on it. (Socialite Life)
+ Jack-of-all-trades Queen Latifah has a new song out featuring Busta Rhymes and others AND she has a new album coming out next week. Listen to the track here. (Rap-Up)
Today's VMA-of-the-day post is about people who unfortunately showed up at past VMAs dressed like human trashbags, either literally or metaphorically, in the you-left-your-dignity-in-the-Dumpster sense.
And no Trashbag Tuesday post would be complete without Rose McGowan! Oh, Rose! You were so great in Jawbreaker, and your M4 leg in Grindhouse was scarifying and cool! But you know what was scaryifying and NOT cool? Seeing every inch of your pasty body when you slid yourself into what looked like a series of poorly constructed silver-plated necklaces and not much else at the 1998 VMAs.
Like, everyone and their half-blind grammaw could see everything from like, what you had for breakfast to your boobiedos and cheeks, to, like, the results of your last gynecological visit. Observe:
Rose's full-frontal (and butt-al) exposure made it easy to forget that she showed up with freak show Marilyn Manson at her side. Who cares that your boyfriend's got red hair and two different colored eyes when the whole world's staring up your crack?
Stay tuned for the possibility of more butts -- or senseless outfits at the very least -- at the 2008 VMAs, live from Hollywood on Sunday, September 7th.
+ Plus: relevant videos: Iggy Pop, "Butt Town," and, of course, Sir Mix-A-Lot's evergreen ode to the exit door...
Amy Winehouse isn't the only artist allegedly suffering from probs con las drugs. Now we're hearing rumors that those lollipops Britney Spears is oftenseensuckingon aren't your average Blow Pops. Instead, there's lotsa talk that they're basically pot pops, laced with an opioid called Fentanyl and that she's trying to get herself unhooked from the cracked-out candy. Yikes. Please, Brit! If it's true, get yo'self some help soon! We're missin' old-school Brit like... well... candy! (Sorry.)
Let's take a look at some more 'Candy' by another singer who's battled the sweet stuff -- a Iggy's Pop's classic video with Kate Pierson of The B-52's.
