Adam Levine Goes Shirtless For 7Hollywood, Because Shirtless Adam Levine NEVER GETS OLD! (PHOTO)

Posted 2/13/13 4:30 pm EST by in Celebrity, Photos

Adam Levine goes shirtless on 7Hollywood magazine.

Just your daily serving of shirtless Adam Levine. It's better than vitamin C!

As you well know by now, we're pretty massive Stans of shirtless Adam Levine because, well, WHY NOT? The tattoos! The pecs! And those lines really ripped dudes get around their uhhhh, pelvis (we'll stop right there). In fact, only a few weeks ago, we devoted an entire post to gratuitous photos of shirtless Adam Levine, and today we're following up! Only this time, we're disguising our obsession with Adam's cut bod by pretending to focus on what he has to say in the "Icons" issue of 7Hollywood magazine. (JK! We're totally interested in what Adam has to say, but we reserve the right to stare at him for seven more hours minutes.

The Maroon 5 singer graced the cover of 7Hollywood magazine's "Icons" issue, a title we entirely feel he deserves, because all icons should have milli-packs, right? That, and super successful music careers, judging careers, "SNL" hosting gigs, and fragrance lines. It also doesn't hurt that Adam can twist his body into yoga positions only trained circus performers can handle. Because if getting your elbow up above your head doesn't scream "ICON!" then we don't know what does.

Posted 2/13/13 9:00 am EST by in Buzz Bites, Celebrity, Music, News

Lady Gaga has canceled four tour dates due to an injury.

+ Lady Gaga has canceled four tour dates due to synovitis (severe inflammation of joints), which she tweeted was a show injury that she's had for a while but was hiding, adding, "However after last nights performance I could not walk and still can't." Get well soon, Gaga! (MTV News)

+ Watch Azealia Banks drop a NSFW verse from "Red Flame," a collabo with Lady Gaga that's expected to be on her forthcoming album, ARTPOP. (Idolator)

+ OMG, Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z may be going on tour together! According to the New York Post, Justin said, "We're definitely going to go on tour," as he walked the Grammy red carpet. It isn't specified who the "we" is, but it's speculated it'll be with Hova. Here's hoping it happens. (MTV News)

+ Ke$ha will headline the NBA All-Star Pregame concert on Sunday. Ludacris and B.o.B are also performing, and the set airs at 6 p.m. ET on NBA TV. (Billboard)

Adam Levine Launches Eponymous Fragrance Line, Which Will Probably Make You Smell Better Shirtless

Posted 2/7/13 11:54 am EST by in Celebrity, Must See, News, Photos

Adam Levine of Maroon 5 and "The Voice" launches a new fragrance line.

Adam Levine launches his eponymous fragrance line.

Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine has famously tweeted about never wanting to get into the fragrance game. Except now Adam's about to launch his eponymous fragrance line, so it's off into the game he goes! That said, we imagine it's mad hard to turn down what we presume is a monstrous check with at least six decimal places after the zero. It's also probably so awesome to be all like, "hey world!! now you can smell like me!" (Ugh, we would NOT be good at being famous.)

Adam's eponymous fragrance line is available for both men and women and comes in a bottle shaped like a vintage microphone (LOVE that). Although Adam describes the woman's fragrance as  a "woody floral," we'd prefer to call it "what you should smell like if you want to hook up with Adam or someone equally as hot." And the men's scent? We're assuming that just smells like sex, 5 o'clock shadows, sold-out concerts, rock and roll, and Adam's chiseled jawline. And if it doesn't, WHY NOT???

Adam's fragrance will launch this month at Macy's in the U.S., and we suggest you get a few cases so you can smell better shirtless. Don't have Adam Levine's torso? Then cover up and just focus on smelling better.

You Would Not BELIEVE The Things Adam Levine Can Do With His Body (PHOTO)

Posted 1/31/13 4:00 pm EST by in Celebrity, Photos

Adam Levine strikes a Yoga pose in the March 2013 issue of Men's Health

Yogi, or rock band frontman?

This isn't the first time we've been in awe of Adam Levine's yoga prowess -- remember when he got all "I'm hot and say 'namaste'" for Details? But after seeing his spread in the March 2013 issue of Men's Health, we're fully convinced that when Adam's not tearing up the charts with Maroon 5, he's moonlighting as a one-man "Cirque Du Soleil" performer! Because holding your entire (horizontal) body up by your hands can't actually be something a non-circus person is capable of, right?

As the cover boy for Men's Health's March 2013 issue, we see Adam showing off his multiple tattoos, smizing like crazy, AND doing MAD YOGA POSES. The best part? Adam loves yoga just about as much as we love watching Adam do yoga. "It's made me more successful," Adam said about his preferred form of exercise, adding, "I love it and don't know what I'd do without it." Well, you go right on ahead and yoga out, bb, because while we're not sure it's safe for the average person to do that sideways pose thing, we DO fully support anything that will make your abs look like this for many, many years.

5 Incredible Images Of Shirtless Adam Levine, For Your Enjoyment

Posted 1/28/13 2:46 pm EST by in Celebrity, Photos

Check out 5 photos of shirtless Adam Levine.

Rough Day? Here's Adam Levine almost naked in the February 2011 issue of Cosmopolitan U.K. for the Everyman Campaign for cancer awareness.

It's literally hailing outside, you MIGHT have the flu (and you got the shot!), and some boy you really liked turned out to be a pathological liar (true story from Saturday night, I'll tell y'all about it later), so this is probably a good day for a little pick-me-up! Unfortunately, acquiring the entire Prada Spring 2013 handbag collection is going to be slightly out of budget, but wanna know what we can do? We can whip up a beautifully curated collection of shirtless Adam Levine photos for you to look at all day! (When you can't have handbags, images of a practically nake-o Adam Levine plastered all over your screen is the next best option.) Because after we saw Adam take his shirt off on "SNL," a bare-chested Adam Levine is ALL. WE. CAN. THINK. ABOUT. Like, seriously, we can't sleep. So go ahead, grab your pals for a rousing game of "count the tattoos"! And don't feel bad about zooming in on Adam, because we KNOW how tempting that is.

Check out 5 photos of shirtless Adam Levine.
