Listen to Jennifer Lopez's Gaga-Produced Songs

"Hypnotico"


"Invading My Mind"


Both have strong hit single potential. What do you think?

Kelly Clarkson New Song Preview

There a low quality preview of a Kelly Clarkson song apparently titled "Let You Down" and is rumored to be the new single off her upcoming fifth album. Like I said, it's just a rumor. The song may or may not be from the new album. Take a listen! I do like what I hear though.

Britney Spears Rehearsing for Tour

Why when she dances this well during rehearsals she doesn't do the same on actual performances? I don't get it, but she looks great and the dancing is better than what we have seen on TV.

Shakira & Enrique Iglesias Win Big at Latin Billboard Awards

After a year that saw pop going bigger than ever, it's perhaps not surprising that two crossover superstars-Enrique Iglesias and Shakira--were the big winners at the 2011 Billboard Latin Music Awards.

Leading the fray with nine honors was Iglesias, while Shakira followed with six Billboard Latin Music Awards. Iglesias' wins included Latin Artist of the Year--a category launched last year, which combines both sales and airplay-on the strength of his hit album "Euphoria" (Republic/Universal Music Latino), which was also the Latin Album of the Year and Latin Pop Album of the Year. "Euphoria" spawned several big hits, including "Cuando Me Enamoro," featuring Juan Luis Guerra, which won Hot Latin Song of the Year, Hot Latin Song of the Year, Vocal Event and Latin Pop Airplay Song of the Year. Iglesias also picked up the trophy for Hot Latin Songs Artist of the year Male and Top Latin Albums Artist of the year, Male, for his sales.

Shakira won honors as Latin Pop Airplay Artist of the Year, Solo and Hot Latin Songs Artist of the Year, Female for her airplay accomplishments, and Top Latin Albums Artist of the Year, Female, for sales of her album "Sale el Sol" (Epic/Sony Music Latin). "Sale El Sol" also won Latin Digital Album of the year while "Waka Waka," the Shakira track featuring Freshlyground was the Latin Digital Download of the Year. Shakira also took home the newly minted Social 50 Latin Artist of the Year, based on performance on Billboard's new Social 50 chart.

American Idol Top 6 - Results!

*SPOILER WARNING*

Eliminated:
Casey Abrams

There was no bottom three announced per se, the contestants were called up individually and were told if they were safe or not. But if it makes a difference and you want to know what went on, I'll break it down shortly: Haley was called up first and Ryan told her she was safe. Scotty, Lauren and Casey were called up one by one after that but they were all told to hang on for a while. James followed and was declared safe. Jacob was up last, Ryan asked Scotty, Lauren and Casey to join him. Lauren was told she was safe; leaving Scotty, Jacob and Casey standing. Were they the bottom 3? We don't know... the words "bottom 3" were never used on the show tonight, although I'd like to believe it was. Jacob was then called as safe, leaving Casey and Scotty.

Interesting fact! This is the first time in three years that two girls make it to the top five. Yup. The last two to make it there were Brooke White and Syesha Mercado in season seven.

Beyoncé Fails to Impress With New Single

Beyoncé is struggling to make her new single "Run the World (Girls)" a hit after it made a discouraging debut at #33 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single hit the iTunes Store last Thursday, the girl-power anthem starts on Digital Songs at No. 23 selling only 77,000 downloads. On Radio Songs, the track begins at No. 65 with 18 million in audience.

Ouch!

American Idol Top 6 [What They Performed]

Week's Theme:

Carole King

Performances:
Jacob Lusk- "Oh No, Not My Baby"
Lauren Alaina- "Where You Lead"
Casey Abrams & Haley Reinhart- "I Feel the Earth Move"
Scotty McCreery- "You've Got a Friend"
James Durbin- "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow"
Lauren Alaina & Scotty McCreery- "Up on the Roof"
Casey Abrams- "Hi-De-Ho"
Haley Reinhart- "Beautiful"
James Durbin & Jacob Lusk- "I'm Into Something Good"

The Best Damn Blog thinks:

I've been against a male winning this season from the beginning, but James is making me change my mind! If a man were to win this season, James is it! Jennifer said it, he's been consistent from the start and Randy said he might be the one to win the whole thing. I agree! But anyway, on to tomorrow's bottom three, I think it's obvious the bottom three will be Jacob, Casey and Haley with Jacob going home. I would change Haley with Scotty in the bottom three though, but no way in hell that's happening. I don't get Scotty's appeal to be honest.

Lady Gaga Gives Details on "Judas" Music Video

"Well the video, in essence, suggests that forgiveness and betrayal are hand in hand and that… how do I say this? The video puts destiny above all things and postures that the mistakes in your life are in fact not mistakes at all, they are just part of your overarching potential and your destiny.

I want to allow the video to speak for itself but I will say that the theme of the video and the way that I wanted to aesthetically portray the story was as a motorcycle Fellini movie where the apostles are revolutionaries in a modern-day Jerusalem. And I play Mary Magdalene leading them into the town where we meet Jesus and I will leave the rest for you to see. But it's meant more to celebrate faith than it is to challenge it."

The Best Damn Blog thinks:

Holy crap! The judges finally told Scotty what I've thought of him every week since the beginning! Boring and safe. Thought I'd never see the day. But anyway, the bottom 3 tomorrow night I think is easy: 1.) Haley Reinhart, she had three strong weeks but she's starting to go down again, her performance last week and this week weren't as strong. 2.) Stefano Langone, dude has more lives than a cat, and I think he will be safe another week thanks to Jacob. He should have gone home weeks ago though. 3.) Jacob Lusk, not his best performance... he may be in deep trouble. I can see him going home tomorrow night.

Rihanna Scores Tenth #1 Thanks to Britney Spears

This week Rihanna has scored her tenth number one single on Billboard’s Hot 100. After 2 weeks at the number two spot, “S&M” rises to number one, replacing Katy Perry’s anthem “E.T.”

This is Rihanna’s tenth trip to the number one spot since she made her first appearance there in 2006 with “SOS” from her A Girl Like Me LP.

Throwback Friday: Michelle Branch- "Everywhere"

Hard to believe this song was released ten years ago! "Everywhere" was the debut single from Michelle Branch, released in July of 2001. The song peaked at #1 in Indonesia and #2 in New Zealand, unfortunately it wasn't that big of a hit everywhere else, in the US the song peaked at #12 while it only reached #18 in the UK and #19 in Australia. The song was not a major chart hit, but I'm sure most of you have heard and like this song. It was criminally overlooked.

"Everywhere" was awarded with the Viewer's Choice moon man at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards. Michelle's album The Spirit Room only peaked at #28 on the Billboard 200 but it ended up selling over a million copies and getting certified Platinum in the end.

[MP3] Lady Gaga- "Judas"

FINALLY! Lady Gaga's new single "Judas" has seen the light, and although on first listen I wasn't crazy about it, I can say it is definitely much better than "Born This Way." Good song, this will be a grower for sure.

Casey should have gone this week, but he wasn't in the bottom three, just like Paul should have left last week but wasn't in the bottom three either. Finally the men are starting to go home, and if anything is fair, Stefano, Casey and Jacob will go before Haley does. Lauren is now the last hope for the girls... I honestly don't want to see another man win. The past three years have been guys and two of them were a complete waste of time. Kris and Lee haven't even sold half a million albums between them.

Scotty McCreery- "I Cross My Heart"
Casey Abrams- "Nature Boy"
Haley Reinhart- "Call Me"
Jacob Lusk- "Bridge Over Troubled Water"
James Durbin- "Heavy Metal"

The Best Damn Blog Thinks:

Sh*t will hit the fan if one of the two remaining girls falls in the bottom three tomorrow night. Vote for those two girls! So who deserves to be in the bottom three? 1.) Stefano, the dude has a killer voice, but like I said last week, he doesn't do anything different... and I don't understand why Pia was getting crap for singing a ballad every week, but they haven't said a word to him about that. He has done ballads since the start. 2.) Jacob, his performance was probably one of my favorites from this guy, but going before James didn't help him at all. Jacob probably had the most forgettable performance of the night. 3.) Casey. One question: how the F did he get a standing ovation for this? To me, I feel like Casey may have just given Stefano another week on the show.

P.S. James owned tonight! James is one of three contestants I would like to see win. He's constantly great, he's never boring and he is a real performer, dude is amazing.

Adele on the Cover of Rolling Stone Magazine

On her body: "My life is full of drama and I won't have time to worry about something as petty as what I look like…I don't like going to the gym. I like eating fine foods and drinking nice wine. Even If I had a really good figure, I don't think I'd get my tits and ass out for no one."

On her album, 21 and the ex-boyfriend that inspired it: "He was artistic, but not romantic. We'd just bicker over a cup of tea or the fact that my lighter wasn't working…He made me an adult and put me on the road that I'm traveling on."

On her stage fright: "I'm scared of audiences. One show in Amsterdam I was so nervous I escaped out the fire exit. I've thrown up a couple of times. Once in Brussels I projectile vomited on someone. I just gotta bear it. But I don't like touring. I have anxiety attacks a lot."

On her father: "I never knew my dad. He has no fuckin' right to talk about me."

Jennifer Lopez Covers People's Most Beautiful Issue

Jennifer Lopez has been named People’s most beautiful woman of 2011!

The 41-year-old American Idol judge and singer topped the list of beautiful ladies in the entertainment industry, which also includes Halle Berry, Jennifer Garner, and Beyonce.

On the guys’ end, Ryan Reynolds was voted Sexiest Man Alive, while George Clooney, Patrick Dempsey, and Hugh Jackman were also featured.

“It’s so crazy,” J.Lo said of the honor from the mag. “Rarely am I left speechless, but I feel honored. I feel not worthy, you know? I feel happy and proud. Proud that I’m not 25!”

Lady Gaga on the cover of Bazaar Magazine

On plastic surgery: “I have never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop singers who have. I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification.”

On being an artist: “I am an artist, and I have the ability and the free will to choose the way the world will envision me.”

Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina - Front Runners?

According to TMZ, Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina have been the top vote getters on American Idol this season. And, they're told James Durbin is consistently scoring in the top three.

As for Pia Toscano... their sources say -- based on the voting -- she never stood a chance of winning. Pia placed in the murky middle until she was booted off.

But don't feel too bad for Pia -- sources say it's a "certainty" she will sign a deal with Interscope Records.

Looks like we will have our second country-singer win American Idol.

On what she’d like to erase from her on-camera moments: “I was always a little bit embarrassed when I would be drunk on camera.”

On how she sees herself: “I’m not a sexy person. I’m OK with it. I’ve never been the sexy girl. Whenever I’ve had a boyfriend, he’s always been like, ‘Oh, you’re cute.’”

On her body issues: “It wasn’t ‘Lauren Debuts Her Line’; it was ‘Lauren Debuts a Fuller Figure,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, no!’ because I’d put on a few pounds….If I’m shopping and I see paparazzi, my bag goes directly to my thighs.”

The beat on this one is better than the original. Song still sucks though.

Aubrey O'Day- "Automatic" [Single Premiere]

Take a listen above to "Automatic", the debut single from Aubrey O'Day. The song is okay, but Aubrey without Danity Kane is like fries without salt.

Beyoncé On Set of New Music Video Shoot

Check out a picture above of Beyoncé on the set of the music video shoot for her upcoming single allegedly titled "Girl." The song is the first single off her 4th album. I almost feel like it's too early for new music... but it really isn't! I Am... Sasha Fierce was released over two years ago, but the music still sounds so recent to me, haha.

Dancing with the Stars: Fourth Week Scores!

Chelsea Kane & Mark Ballas = 26

Hines Ward & Kym Johnson = 25

Ralph Macchio & Karina Smirnoff = 25

Romeo Miller & Chelsie Hightower = 23

Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy = 22

Sugar Rey & Anna Trebunskaya = 21

Has Jennifer Lopez Run Out of Things to Sing About?

So I've noticed that Jennifer Lopez's last two singles "On the Floor" and "I'm Into You" are heavy on the "Na Na's" on their choruses. I also noticed that her song "(What Is) Love?" also has that in its chorus. Funny thing, isn't it? Check it out above! Haha.

Lady GaGa to Play Mary Magdalene in 'Judas' Music Video

Details about what to expect from the upcoming music video of Lady GaGa's second single have been revealed. In an interview with MTV, her creative director Laurieann Gibson spilled the beans that the Monster ringleader will portray Mary Magdalene in the video.

Playing opposite GaGa will be "Hawaii Five-0" actor Norman Reedus. The 42-year-old star is going to be the "Judas", and Laurieann has nothing but good words for him. "He was so prolific," she said before promising Little Monsters that the video will be "badass."

"I think that most people are already thinking that Gaga and the blasphemy and they're premeditating the approach and I think they'll be very shocked to find out how huge and really groundbreaking the message is and how freeing the message is for all the right reasons," she said. "And it's really going to shock the world."

Lifted from GaGa's May 23 studio release "Born This Way", "Judas" will be released on April 19. Its accompanying music video is expected to follow soon. GaGa filmed it over the weekend, and shared it with her Twitter followers, "Directing Judas video with my sister @boomkack is the most exciting artistic moment of my career. It's the greatest work we've done. Day 2."

No Doubt Finally Releasing Album This Year?

"We’ve been going for awhile trying to make this record and it’s been super challenging but really fun, we’re trying to enjoy the moment of writing and…it’s just a really fun process and I think it’s going to be out this year. It’s generally a really happy album…the main thing we were trying to do is write really catchy good songs…we got about 10 songs done and we want to do a few more just in case, but it’s a really good record, I really love this record.”

Hurry up! I'm getting impatient.

Jared Leto's Tribute to Kurt Cobain

"I heard today (April 5) was the day Kurt passed away 17 years ago. Can't believe it's been that long. So grateful for his contribution and inspiration. Not sure I'd be doing this if it weren't for him. He gave us all permission to create no matter what our skill set and reminded me that dreams are possible. Thanks for that. This made me recall a short piece of film I shot when I heard they were making a film celebrating his life. I made it to explore the character and explore creative possibilities. I never sent it to the studio or to anyone but thought I'd share it now...
- Jared Leto"

It's scary how much he looks and sounds like Kurt!

Pia Toscano Already in Talks of Getting A Record Deal

Her elimination last night on American Idol may have been the worst elimination in Idol history, but she's already in talks of signing a record deal! Pia was seen walking into the Warner Music Group/Elektra Records offices this morning. No surprise there! This girl will have a bigger career than whoever wins this season.

Chins up Pia fans! Remember Chris Daughtry and Jennifer Hudson were also unfairly cut far too early in their seasons and look at them now, both are huge stars now. Pia is next!

American Idol Top 9 Results!

Bottom 3:

Bottom 2:

Eliminated:

Pia Toscano

Pia in the bottom 3 instead of Paul? Really? Remember last night when I mentioned the teen girl vote? Looks like a white smile outweighs great vocals. Bullsh!t. I don't understand. If anybody deserved to go home tonight was Paul.

On to other news, that save was completely wasted on Casey two weeks ago. Congrats judges.

Pretty angry at tonight's results to say the least. Pia deserved to be in the Top 2, she was the best contestant this season.

What are your thoughts on, um, Idol's worst elimination to date?
