Girls' Generation To Release 'The Boys' Remix EP!

So I'm wondering: when an all-girl group has NINE members, can you even still call them a group? Girls' Generation features the vocal and dance talents of nine different real, live human members, so I think it's about time we start calling them a troupe. Or a team. Or better yet: "The Brady Bunch: Korean Edition."
Girls’ Generation recently performed their hit song "The Boys" to a sold-out crowd in Madison Square Garden, and today they're releasing a "maxi single" consisting of eight tracks featuring remixes by Clinton Sparks, Disco Fries, Teddy Riley and David Anthony, along with special guests Snoop Dogg and Lil Playy. (Side note, Snoop Dogg and a nine-girl supergroup just makes so much sense).
If this is your first time hearing about Girls' Generation (BRB, judging you), here's the 411: The members of the group sing in both Korean and English, and their 2009 track "Gee" is the longest-running No. 1 song on the Korean Broadcasting System's charts. Recently the troupe took home Mnet Asian Music Awards for Artist of the Year and Best Female Group and have more than 250 million cumulative views on YouTube. So basically what all that really means is that Girls' Generation is the Lady Gaga meets Justin Bieber of Korea and Japan -- no big deal!!!!!!
The Year In Pop Music In AWESOME Animated GIFs!
Posted 12/12/11 4:33 pm ET by T. Kyle MacMahon in Celebrity, Photos
Tons of super important global things happened in 2011... but thankfully it's not our job to tell you about those things! Which is great, because we totally skipped social studies on the regular back in the day. It is our job, however, to report the best, most amazing, OMG moments in pop music throughout the year, and we're doing it in GIF form! OBviously.
Our main GIF guy T. Kyle hooked us up with the best GIFs from 2011, and we are forever in debt to him for it. (Check out his GIF-tastic Tumblr!) We've got Rihanna barfing up ribbons in her EPIC "We Found Love" video, Britney Spears' "OMFG"-inducing shower scene from "Criminal," a little Justin Bieber/Selena Gomez PDA action, and of course, the GIF seen round the world, Beyoncé rubbing her belly for the first time at the 2011 VMAs!
+ Check out some of the best pop music GIFs from 2011 below, and see them all after the jump!
Rihanna somehow stayed beautiful while puking up ribbons in her "We Found Love" video.

New Song: Snoop Dogg And Wiz Khalifa, 'Talent Show'
Posted 12/12/11 4:00 pm ET by Liz Barker in Celebrity, Music

In my day, high school talent shows were all about lip-synching to Mariah Carey songs while performing elaborate dance routines that ripped off whichever video was hottest that week. But in "Talent Show," Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg skip the song-and-dance approach and show off their science skills instead. Before the track's sweet and easy beat kicks in, Wiz and Snoop lay down a spoken-word intro about discovering a "magical catalyst" that helps supercharge the alternative fuel they've recently invented. (Spoiler alert! It's marijuana. And you thought french-fry grease was the fuel of the future.)
The latest single from the soundtrack to "Mac and Devin Go to High School" (you know, the upcoming feature film starring Wiz as an aspiring valedictorian and Snoop as a 10-year senior crushed out on his chemistry teacher), "Talent Show" has everything a stoner's anthem needs -- right down to the chilled-out groove and spaced-out lyrics (e.g., "Come pay me a visit and I'll be somewhere up in the sky"). Like Method Man and Redman before them, Wiz and Snoop assume the role of a hip-hop Cheech and Chong, then toss in a whole lot of references to gym teachers, detention and the SATs to keep the high school theme going. By the time Archbishop Don "Magic" Juan turns up to deliver the bonkers/bombastic outro ("I had style, I had flash, I had originality, I had...me!"), you're almost wishing that final bell would never ring.
The "Mac and Devin Go to High School" soundtrack drops tomorrow, Dec. 13.
+ Listen to Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa, "Talent Show."
I've been a tad bit obsessed with Cori B. ever since she came out with the precious AND precocious video for "Do My Thang." But now, Snoop Dogg's a adorable 12-year old daughter is back with a brand-new video for "SMH." And my Cori B. obsession has just officially teetered into borderline-unhealthy territory.
Cori's 1500 or Nothin-produced second single "SMH" is basically as swag as it gets for a tween. The song itself is a useful swag barometer, too, because if you can't understand the acronyms in the lyrics, you're completely uncool anyway: "SMH, got me shaking my head/I'm like 'LOL' when I'm with my friends/You know what it is when I'm doing my thang/They like 'OMG, there goes Cori again.'"
As Cori sings, she's surrounded by a troupe of her bros who love her new song so much that they all start breaking. There's the kid who doesn't even clear 4 feet doing that psycho move where you spin on your hands, and that other girl (who can't be more than 12 and a half) who fist-pumps like a fully grown bawse.
Oh, and speaking of bosses, Cori definitely looks like one in this video as she rocks some dope pink shades and a customized fur jacked with a big "C" embroidered on the front. And, yes, I do think it's sad that a 12-year-old has more swag than me. But then again, if I were the daughter of hip-hop royalty, I'd probably have a fur jacket with my name on it too. That, and socks made out of gold. (Hate the player, not the game.)
Stay tuned for Cori B's debut album in early 2012.

The Funniest Music Videos Of 2011!
Posted 12/1/11 1:02 pm ET by Tamar Anitai in Celebrity, Music, Must See, Videos
Not every music video can feature dramatic, sweeping crane shots of snow-capped mountains and sullen, pensive stars precariously perched atop a cliff. Or naughty surprised faces and kinda-sexy come-hither winks. And not everyone can writhe around in body paint like Beyonce can or baffle us like Lady Gaga. Some of our favorite music videos of 2011 went straight for the LOLs using parody, satire, good old-fashioned sight gags and intentionally bad overacting. Here, in no particular order, are some of the, well, funniest funny videos of 2011.
+ Katy Perry, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)" -- If Katy Perry had only given us Rebecca Black, it would've been enough for us. But she packed her "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" video with over-the-top cameos, including Kenny G blowing sax on a roof, Deborah Gibson and Corey Feldman AND HANSON!
+ Chromeo, "When The Night Falls" -- We're pretty sure that you can't get pregnant just by LOOKING at Chromeo's Dave 1 and P-Thugg... or CAN you? Regardless, the kid is not my son, but Chromeo better be ready to shell out thousands in child support.
+ Jessie J, "Who's Laughing Now" -- In her Emil Nava-directed video, lil Jessie J goes back to school and draws strength from bullies and haters while real Jessie J, posed as a lunch lady in serious need of a makeover, hits back with a raised middle finger and the best revenge of them: BEING FAMOUS BEING AND PAID.
+ Ke$ha, "Blow" -- Unicorns, Muenster cheese and Ke$ha are pretty much all you need to create organic hilarity, but Ke$ha totally raised the bar when she killed -- and mounted! -- James Van Der Beek.
+ Duck Sauce, "Big Bad Wolf" -- A-Trak and Armand Van Helden LITERALLY turn into d***heads in Keith Schofield's ragingly inappropriate, howlingly hilarious "Big Bad Wolf" video. But they find love, so it's almost sweet, right?
+ Beastie Boys, "Make Some Noise" -- Elijah Wood's Ad-Rock impression is scary-good. But Danny McBride as MCA and the Beasties' musical history in cameo form is almost genius.
+ Black Keys "Lonely Boy"-- If you thought that one continuous shot of a man dancing outside of a motel wouldn't be funny, then you thought way way wrong.
+ We The Kings, "Friday Is Forever/ Rebecca Black 'Friday' Mashup" -- Sometimes the funniest videos are the cheapest. And we mean that lovingly, We The Kings. Their "Friday Is Forever" video is a mashup of Rebecca Black's "Friday" and a bizarro joyride with Black Swan, Ke$ha, and Charlie Sheen all in the same car.
+ Foo Fighters, "Walk" -- Dave Grohl is fed up with just about everything, pulls a Michael-Douglas-in-"Falling-Down," minus the super unfortunate haircut, plus the unsatisfying cheeseburger, ends up tased. Guitars, not guns!
