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.
Ke$ha is a bad girl gone worse. Last night's makeup and glitter still liberally applied to her face, she's putting off the morning after by charging right into the next night.
Ke$ha (real name Kesha Sebert) is a California girl. With a musical family, she was probably bound to wind up on stage and in front of the camera but, credit to her, her rise has been hard-earned.
Now she's on her own, and by the looks of the video for her debut single, "Tik Tok," she plays as hard as it works. It's a down-and-dirty electro jam with Auto-Tune flirtations. Check out Ke$sha's "Tik Tok" video below, and watch Ke$ha's live MTV UK video performance.
Missed this past July's mtvU Sunblock Festival with Gym Class Heroes, Never Shout Never, Boys Like Girls, and The Academy Is... and the Veronicas because you couldn't get to Missourah or Baltimurrr? I hear that.
Watch eight full-length live performances from the mtvU Sunblock Tour. It's like you were RIGHT THERE, minus the sticky arena floors and show sweat.
Click the arrow (magic!) to watch Gym Class Heroes' live performance of "Cookie Jar" and "Guilty As Charged," Boys Like Girls' "Love Drunk" and "Heart Heart Heartbreak," The Veronicas' "Take Me On The Floor," The Academy Is... performing "His Girl Friday" and "About A Girl," and Buzzworthy favorite Never Shout Never's "Happy."
+ Word's out that Radiohead's Thom Yorke might be tapped to contribute to the upcoming Twilight soundtrack. Seems like a perfect match. (Rotten Tomatoes)
+ The Beastie Boys have good news and bad news today. Bad news, MCA (a.k.a. Adam Yauch) was just diagnosed with cancer. Good news, he's gonna be ok. He'll just be down-and-out for about two months, and the Beastie Boys' tour is canceled. Speedy recovery, Adam. (MTV News)
+ Are Aussie superstars The Veronicas in serious talks to do a U.S.-based reality show with MTV? If so, we'll totally sit with you at lunch! (news.com.au)
+ It's nice to see Adam Lambert can ease back into his former American Idol life. Last night he was seen tooling around L.A. with his supposed boyfriend Drake "Cheeks" Labry. Hard to say which set of cheeks he is nicknamed for... (Popbytes)
+ Poor Britney is being forced to continue with the European leg of her mega-grossing Circus tour against her will, or so an insider says. (MSNBC)
+ Note: Amy Winehouse wants black kids. In the meantime, she's boozing it up in St. Lucia. (Daily Mail)
+ And somewhere thousands of miles away from Amy Winehouse, super cutie Taylor Swift is not boozing it up, but probably getting embarrassed by her dad. (People)
+ While out on an Australian press tour for her new album, Kelly Clarkson skipped hair and makeup and decided to put on some jeans (instead of those horrible black flared stretch pants she's so fond of). Baby steps, Kel. Baby steps. (ICYDK)
+ The owner of the banged-up Maserati that he lent to Lindsay Lohan has listed the P.O.S. on eBay. Funny how none of the damage the car sustained is listed. (TMZ)
+ Sade is working on her first album in nine years. Excuse us while we drive home in our Chevy Astro to pick up some 2" pillar candles at Pier 1 for the bubble bath we've been waiting nine years to have. (Reuters)
Earlier this week, Travis and Hunter of We The Kings told you about their proms -- Travis had a maje faux pas at his prom after he tripped over the electric cord powering up the DJ booth and killed the music (whoopersdoodles!), and Hunter entered a time machine and starred in Back to the Future!
Now, watch this extra-special prom reenactment video (like the ones you see on the TV!) that We The Kings sent to Buzzworthy, and see what happens when Travis goes to prom with a date who looks an AWFUL lot like Danny. Looks like SOMEONE's got a "Secret Valentine!"
Fortunately, Paul DiGiovanni said he'd go to prom with me, but then he stood me up for Lily Allen. Oh well. At least he's dumping me for someone cute... I bet Ashley Tisdale would've gone too.
+ After the jump, see how Paul DiGiovanni and Lily Allen's prom date would go, and watch a bunch of BLG live performances and videos. And check out more celebrity proms too.
The best part about this brand-new prom video that The Veronicas just sent us is their use of the phrase "hoochie mama." Sometimes I forget about that phrase, yet it's a classic that never gets old, and I'm glad someone reminded me.
Check out Jess and Lisa's prom memories and tips in this exclusive Buzzworthy prom video, and if you've already gone out and bought a hoochie ensemble, hopefully you've got time to return it. Happy promin'!
+ Plus: Watch The Veronicas' "Take Me On The Floor" live in Melbourne, after the jump!
On Tuesday, February 24, The Veronicas (joined by openers Metro Station) took Melbourne's Palais Theatre, the latest stop on their Revenge Is Sweeter tour, by storm. Hitting every note amid a throng of thrashing back-up dancers, they so electrified the sold-out crowd that, at times, their vocals were inaudible over a chorus of singing fans. It was the kind of night that inspired an Aussie website to declare this year's Veronicas' performances to be "the most frenetic of their lives."
Lucky for us, what happened in Melbourne doesn't have to stay there! A dedicated camera crew captured every suggestive shimmy of their famously lusty rager, "Take Me On The Floor," in high definition. Caught their mesmerizing light show, too!
Now see which song is their favorite song they've ever written and why, and find out how they defend themselves against potential stabbers -- Eek!
Watch The Veronicas answer more of your Buzzworthy Blog fan questions, and, BEE TEE DUBS, get The Veronicas' summer tour dates here, 'kay kay? (Just don't attack them while they're on stage. Or ever.)
+ Lady GaGa got down and dirty on a U.K. talk show recently, discussing her huge donkey d***, song lyrics and ex-boyfriends. This girl has NO filter and we LOVE IT! (Towleroad)
+ Oh, and while we're talking about the root vegetables in Lady GaGa's secret garden, here's some amazing shots of the pop star with tape on her teats. Seems like she's on the tape tip after having a couple of nip slips. (Egotastic)
+ It appears that a new video for cutey patootie David Archuleta's "Touch My Hand" has emerged online, though we're not sure if it's official or just some bonus DVD ish. (MjsBigBlog)
+ Totes stoked that The Veronicas are going on tour this year (and Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen's band, Pretty Reckless, is opening for them) -- but bummed that they're not coming to NYC! WTF? (National Ledger)
