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.
I love Twilight. You love Twilight. The votes have been counted: EVERYBODY LOVES TWILIGHT. But for serious, where do we draw the line?
Dressing up like characters? Sure, have at it. Rocking Team Edward or Team Jacob shirts? Why not? But, at a certain point, cooler heads have to prevail. Have we come to that point? Take a look at the latest piece of Twilight memorabilia and you tell me.
Behold: Robert Pattinson panties. For the woman who has everything... except for Robert Pattinson's icy, undead stare embroidered onto the front of her underwear.
New Moon swoon! Check out the lust-inducing cover ofPeople magazine's New Moon collector's issue, and below, check out an exclusive photo of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in Eclipse.
The PeopleNew Moon collector's edition, which features BABY PHOTOS OF ROBERT PATTINSON (!!!!!) hits newsstands this Friday.
Celebrities are good at a lot of things: self-promotion, engaging us in engagement speculation, having MINDBLOWING hair ROBERT PATTINSON. But one thing they can't be depended upon to do is SIT THEIR ASSES DOWN all by themselves. Here's an inside look at the seat cards for the 2009 MTV VMAs, so all of the celebrities and guests know where to sit and the cameras know where to capture that perfect "Oh-seriously-I'm-so-happy-for-you!" face when their competition wins. (Cough cough Gaga versus Beyonce!)
See where Katy Perry, Gaga, Paramore, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Janet Jackson, and more VMA guests will sit! (I love how Cobra Starship appears to get one seat for five people, while Death Cab For Cutie gets four separate seats! Also, keep in mind that suprise guests don't usually get seat cards if you catch what I'm saying... )
+ Check out more photos of 2009 VMA seat cards after the jump!
Boom. And there it is. The 2009 MTV VMA stage. The scene is set, and Radio City Music Hall -- a 75-year-old venue -- just got catapulted into 2009. (If Radio City were an old lady, she'd probably have to cover its eyes when Lady Gaga performs live on Sunday, September 13.) The entire VMA stage pretty much looks like the coolest, loudest, most intense music video ever.
Check out more photos of the 2009 MTV VMA set, stage, and floor of Radio City Music Hall, before it gets packed with celebrities. Yes, those big pieces of paper are the much-discussed seat cards, which will soon hold the famous butts of Robert Pattinson, Jay-Z, Paramore, and the VMA nominees and performers! Stay tuned!
+ 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)
+ Because Justin Timberlake doesn't have nearly enough to do (running clothier William Rast, golfing, making tequila, owning a BBQ restaurant in NYC, and CERTAINLY the most time-consuming thing: dating Jessica Biel!), an obvious next step would be to do an ad campaign for the Givenchy fragrance "Play." Holla for a dolla! (Popbytes)
+ NYC Police are preparing for the worst when rapper 50 Cent holds a "surprise" free concert in late August in the Queens neighborhood where he grew up. (NY Post)
+ Anyone in the mood for some new Weezer? We are too -- the band just announced their new single will drop on August 25. And if ya look real hard, it might just be floatin' around on the GooTube. (NME)
+ Will someone please tell me why Madonna is swimming in boxing trunks and a basketball jersey? (DrunkenStepfather)
+ Celeb feuds are as old as 'The Hills,' and Perez Hilton is usually the cause. This week, Ashlee Simpson told the Queen of Pink where he can stick it (and we're pretty sure it's a dark, dark place, devoid of all life), after meddling in her and hubby Pete Wentz' drunken affairs. (Cele|bitchy)
+ And speaking of Twitter, you'll be surprised to learn that Robert Pattinson does NOT like Twitter...(PopEater)
+ ...probably because people catch him maaaaaaybe kissing his maaaaaaaaybe girlfriend and co-star Kristen Stewart. (MTV News)
+ YOU GUYS! Kim Kardashian got bitten by the Twilight bug and she's TOTALLY A VAMPIRE NOW! Specifically her makeup artist Troy Jensen gave her a Prada-meets-Pattinson Twilight-inspired makeover. It's like it's last year all over again. NO ONE tell Kim that Bella turns into a vampire in Breaking Dawn. Don't wanna spoil the surprise! (Kimkardashian.Celebuzz.com)
+ Also in line to become a vampire: Miley Cyrus, who will star in Disney's adaptation of the supernatural series Wings. But you probably already knew that. And you probably already read it. (Variety)
+ FI.NA.LL.Y. Buzzworthy's favorite sibling, Kid Sister, will release her debut album, Ultraviolet, on October 6. OF THIS YEAR, PLEEZE, GURL? (Rap-Up)
+ Warner Music no likey Keyboard Cat! WTS? (Wired)
+ Kanye and Gaga probably aren't married. Which his good because I just don't know WHERE I'd find them that combination life-sized human legs coffee table espresso maker on their registry. (MTV News)
+ Speaking of Kanye, Jay-Z confessed that Kanye inspired "D.O.A. (Death Of Auto-tune)." I KNEW IT! (Billboard)
So, Taylor Lautner was running around, all werewolf-y (uhh... spoiler?) in L.A. the other day -- probs getting ready to walk the red carpet at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards -- and he was spotted wearing a pair of slip-on low-cut wingtip boots by Auri Footwear. The name of the boots? And I'm seriously not even making this up here: "The Ladies Man." Yes. Really. Coincidence? DOUBT IT. If I were as hot as Taylor Lautner, I'd ONLY purchase stuff with hot-sounding names to match my jacked-up crazy hotness. When you're Taylor Lautner, you can do that. I mean, these boots might as well be named after him.
Who caught "Ready, Set, Go!" during the reel of Breakthrough Performance Male nominees? Specifically during Robert Pattison's Twilight clip? Oh. You did. Of course. (Spoiler: He won!)
Watch Vanessa Hudgens and Jonah Hill intro the Breakthrough Performance Male Award, and, inadvertently Tokio Hotel! Also, since Robert Pattinson won, that kinda means Tokio Hotel did too, right? Yeaaahhh... Because that's how it works!
Style spotters: Kristen Stewart wore a pair of classic Keds "Champion" lace-ups in navy blue while shooting the reunion scene in New Moon in Montepulciano, Italy. (PIVOTAL PLOT POINT!) And it looks like she also wore a beige pair during a LaPush scene.
So, while chances are VERY high that you'll never suck face with Robert Pattinson, you can walk in Bella's shoes. Buy them at Keds.com for just $35. They're perfect for summer, and they're definitely cuter than the staid, plain white Keds Kelly Kapowski always wore on Saved By The Bell, you know?
+ Watch Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson almost-kiss (again) at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, and, after the jump, watch the New Moon trailer for the fif.teen.billion.th time.
Wanna live
