Welcome to your weekly dose of pop world musings. Covering all things pop culture, this week Pop Shots is hitting you with thoughts on everything from Justin Bieber's YouTube KO of Lady Gaga, to two artist injuries, to Bayside High's most decorated athlete's new VH1 venture. As an added bonus, this week we also have a Q&A with country pop star Jessie James, and since this is Pop Shots you know everything is seasoned with a little bit of attitude.
* Bad news, universe. With more than 246 million views (and yes, I put my pinky to the corner of mouth as I typed that) Justin Bieber's video for "Baby" is now the most watched clip in the history of YouTube, passing Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" and making me question society as a whole. If people are going to spend time on YouTube they should at least be spending it wisely, by watching things like the Sharktopus trailer.
* Both Pink and Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry landed in this hospital this past week. Pink found herself there after falling off the stage during a show in Germany w Read More ...

Welcome to your weekly dose of pop world musings. Covering all things pop culture, this week Pop Shots has a very special announcement - we're one year old! That's right, today marks the one year anniversary of Pop Shots, and I'm proud to have brought you all the news of the pop world, complete with snarky commentary, every Wednesday for the past 52 weeks. Over the course of the next 52 weeks I hope to expand Pop Shots to include interviews along with the news and occasional special edition columns you know and love, but before we get to that I figured a party was in order, so I'm throwing one, RIGHT NOW. Check out who made the guest list with this exclusive live look in at what's going on at the official Pop Shots One Year Anniversary House Party (you had to know I'd be doing this Kid ‘N Play style!).

Welcome to your weekly dose of pop world musings. Covering all things pop culture, this week Pop Shots is hitting you with thoughts on everything from recent relationship heartbreaks for a Saved By The Bell grad and Miley Cyrus, to M.I.A.'s heartbreak over bad press, to the heartbreak experienced by a bunch of spoiled princess when they get told You're Cut Off!, and since it's Pop Shots you know everything is seasoned with a little bit of attitude.
Welcome to your weekly dose of pop world musings. Covering all things pop culture, this week Pop Shots is hitting you with thoughts on everything from who's not feeling like a winner after the Alicia Keys - Swizz Beatz engagement & pregnancy announcement, to the big winners coming from American Idol and the Eurovision Song Contest, to the huge loss 50 Cent recently experienced, and since it's Pop Shots you know everything is seasoned with a little bit of attitude.
* This just in - you don't want to put Miley in your mouth! Yes, Britney Spears needs to move aside because Miley Cyrus has a whole new kind of "Toxic" for the kids as last week Wal-Mart had to pull an entire line of Miley Cyrus-brand necklaces and bracelets from its shelves after tests performed for The Associated Press found the jewelry contained high levels of the toxic metal cadmium. According to the AP, cadmium in jewelry is not known to be dangerous if the items are simply worn, but concerns come when a person bites or sucks on the jewelry. So no more biting or sucking on Miley until further notice!
* It looks like Disney may have some competition in the teen actress/singer market as Nickelodeon's Miranda Cosgrove, who most people know as iCarly, landed at number eight on the Billboard Albums chart this past week with her full length debut, Sparks Fly. Hey, does anybody else remember when singers would get big and then try to be on TV, and actors having albums was an oddity? When did that get totally reversed? I think once all of this devolves into Snookie Sings The American Standards we'll see the ship start to right itself again.
* In the best news coming from Bret Michaels' camp in weeks, it looks like there's a distinct possibility the rocker might be able to make the live season finale of Celebrity Apprentice on May 23rd. Michaels, determined not to let the brain hemorrhage that sent him to the hospital get him down, also plans to resume touring on the 26th and expects to be on the road with Lynyrd Skynyrd this summer. A clear fan favorite on Celebrity Apprentice due to his good natured-ness, Michaels is someone I'm rooting for. Of course, I'm also rooting for Maria Kanellis, but that's for 
While Snoop Dogg is reasonably one of Hip-Hop's most successful artists, he is branching out in ways that were never imagined. Snoop has tapped Britain's Got Talent alum Susan Boyle for a new project. "She's a great artist - I'm looking forward to going into the studio with her, why not? We're going to get our minds together and figure out what we're going to sing about," Snoop told The Sun. "I'm down with that. There isn't much I can't do."
* Lollapalooza has announced its headliners for this year and they're big, I mean REALLY big. Lady Gaga, Green Day and a reunited Soundgarden lead a lineup of more than 130 acts that are set to perform at the three day festival. Unfortunately, the price tag for the event is just as big, with three day passes going for $215 each. Admittedly, it's still less than Coachella's $269 three day pass, but both of them make you realize how great a deal the one day, 40+ band, Warped Tour is at under $30 a ticket.
* Before I get to all the good and evil of the week, a news story broke that was past the deadline for Pop Shots, but was far too big to let slide until next week, and that was, of course, Ricky Martin's not-so-shocking announcement that he's gay. One of my buddies wondered why Martin didn't go for a big money payout for his coming out but I have to wonder if any tabloid would have given him a significant chunk of change for making an announcement that was akin to "the sky is blue." Despite everyone having at least an inkling as to Martin's sexuality I'll still applaud him for his courage to announce it so publicly. The height of 
With 30 million albums sold worldwide and the prestigious honor of being the only artist under the age of 30 included in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the 100 greatest singers of all time, 5 time Grammy Award winner Christina Aguilera has already achieved an unprecedented level of success. Aguilera's been hard at work in the studio for the past year and is pleased to announce the release of her highly anticipated 4th studio album Bionic (RCA Records) this summer. The first single from Bionic is the fiercely energetic anthem "Not Myself Tonight", produced by Polow Da Don. The song will premiere on ChristinaAguilera.com at 6pm EDT on 3/30, impacts radio on 4/5 and will be available on iTunes on 4/13.
* It's been a mixed week for the new queen of pop as Lady Gaga found herself breaking yet another chart recored, but also being sued for an amount of money that would make Dr. Evil proud. First, Gaga's latest single, "Telephone," reached the top spot on the radio airplay chart, giving her six #1s, which ties her for the most since the Nielsen BDS-based radio airplay chart launched in 1992. The other artists with six are Beyonce, who happens to make a guest appearance on " 
Emblem/Atlantic recording artist Rob Thomas has announced the upcoming release of his new digital EP, "SOMEDAY." The four-song collection goes on sale exclusively via iTunes on March 30th, and then at all DSPs on April 6th.
Singer and songwriter Tyler Hilton will release a new five-song EP, entitled Ladies & Gentlemen, on April 20th, 2010. Four tracks, "Sunset Blvd., "This World Will Turn," "Keep On," and "I Believe In You," will be included on Hilton's upcoming album The Storms We Share, which is due from Reprise Records late this Summer. The EP also includes a b-side, entitled "June."
Multi-platinum and Grammy-Award winning singer/songwriter Sarah McLachlan is scheduled to release her first studio album of new material in 7 years THE LAWS OF ILLUSION on June 15th on Arista Records. The album is currently being recorded in Montreal and Vancouver with Sarah's longtime collaborator/producer Pierre Marchand. Sarah's new album THE LAWS OF ILLUSION will be released just weeks in advance of the kick off to Lilith Fair 2010, the historic all women touring festival, founded by McLachlan, which became one of the highest grossing touring festivals in the world.
* Natalie Mejia, who is a member of the pop group Girlicious, was charged with possession with intent to sell after cops found a dozen plastic bags of cocaine in her purse. Girlicious, for those who don't remember, which I'm sure is all of you, is the Pussycat Dolls' reality show spinoff group that had done nothing even remotely noteworthy until this. The best part of the entire story is that according to the AP, "Mejia said the drugs were not hers and claimed she didn't know how they got into her purse." The coke fairy strikes again! Feel free to use that defense in court Natalie, I'm sure it will work just as well as "I don't know how they got there 
Roadrunner Records/Loud & Proud Records is pleased to announce the signing of Meat Loaf to the label. Meat Loaf has been a towering monument on the musical landscape for the past 35 years and his new deal with Roadrunner/Loud & Proud will allow him to retain his post as the pre-eminent voice in rock music and beyond.
Alternative-pop solo artist THE READY SET is hitting the road for a series of spring tour dates. The run begins later this month with a stint at SXSW, followed by performances at both the Bamboozle California festival March 28th and the Bamboozle New Jersey festival on May 1st. The Ready Set will also be heading out on the Bamboozle Road Show, which kicks off May 21st and runs through June 27th. The nationwide tour features All Time Low, Third Eye Blind, Boys Like Girls and more. 
* As if Jon Bon Jovi hadn't amassed enough cool points for ten lifetimes, during his current tour he's taking some time to visit some very unlikely places, such as LA's Skid Row and a shelter for hardcore alcoholics in Seattle. According to the AP, the very untraditional stops are a part of his plan to gather ideas and inspiration to shape his own Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation. The foundation fights homelessness by building affordable housing, establishing community kitchens, and cleaning up vacant lots in rundown neighborhoods. You just gotta love this guy. He's a rock star who married his high school sweetheart, can sell ou

* There's really only one place to start this week's Pop Shots and it's with John Mayer and his "white supremacist" junk. In the Playboy interview heard round the internets, Mayer dropped the N-bomb and proclaimed his penis was a white supremacist. In the same interview he also described Jessica Simpson as "sexual napalm" (side note to Jessica - I love the smell of napalm in the morning). Mayer's done the usual "I'm sorry" thing, and personally I'm willing to give my fellow Fairfielder a pass on this one. Who I'm NOT willing to give a pass is Rolling Stone. As a subscriber I expect THEM 
* Despite published reports, and tweets, there was much less of a fall out within Fall Out Boy than many first believed. According to Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump, the group is taking some time off for members to pursue other endeavors, but there's zero animosity between any of them. Wentz was quoted by the AP saying that it's all been "blown out of proportion." Fans should not be expecting a solo project from Wentz, though, as he noted that's never been an aspiration of his. As an aside, how wild is it that a band named after a comic book character from The Simpsons had a shorter run than the cartoon it came from? Yes, I just managed to make this a story about The Simpsons' l 
* Former American Idol and current country superstar Carrie Underwood will be singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl this Sunday. Underwood is a fantastic choice for the job, but I wonder how the Cowboys feel about the fact that people their quarterback used to date are getting to the Super Bowl before he is. Ah, well, at least it's not Jessica Simpson, right Tony?
Fueled By Ramen recording group Paramore has unveiled details of its upcoming headline tour. The tour is set to kick off on April 26th with a home state show at Tennessee's Knoxville Civic Coliseum. Dates will then continue through mid-May (see attached itinerary). Support will come from Relient K and fun.
* Jersey Shore's first season may be over, but we haven't seen the last of at least one of the roommates from the show. Snookie, she of the multiple punches to the face and lifetime supply of Bumpits, is reportedly going to be getting her own dating show, tentatively titled Snookin for Love. With the way the final episode of Shore was edited, they made it obvious she's looking for a boyfriend, even using the phrase Snookin for Love at one point. Here's hoping she gets to bring along JWOWW to help her sort out which guys are good and which guys aren't. An appearance by The Situation would be nice, as well. Who thinks I should audition?
The 2010 Lilith Tour is pleased to announce exciting line-up additions to the summer touring festival: Loretta Lynn, Heart, Norah Jones, Cat Power, Sia, Gossip, La Roux, Beth Orton, Ceci Bastida, Erin McCarley, Frazey Ford, Julia Othmer, Kate Nash, Lights, Missy Higgins, Lissie, Marina & The Diamonds, Priscilla Renea, Rosie Thomas, Melissa McClelland, Toby Lightman and Elizaveta. More major artists will be announced in the coming weeks.
* Wonder where Beyonce was on New Year's Eve? Singing and dancing for the son of a mass murdering dictator, of course! Yes, that's right, while the rest of us were ringing in 2010 with some lighthearted revelry, Jay-Z's wifey was taking home a cool two mil for a performance for Muatsim Gaddafi, who is the third son of the Libyan leader Muammar-al Gaddafi. For those who need a primer, the elder Gaddafi is the dictator is Libya who has financed and run terrorist attacks that have killed thousands over the years. Hearing the news of Beyonce performing for the son of such a tyrant has prompted numerous old high school classmates of hers to say "man, had I known back then she'd say yes to anyo 
* Brace yourselves. Are you sitting down? If not, why are you at the computer standing up? Regardless... Hannah Montana will soon be coming to an end. Yes, it has been announced that the upcoming fourth season (has it really only been around for four seasons?) will be the show's last. Something tells me Miley will still be able to get along OK, but the race is on for which of Disney's teen stars will break out next. Demi Lovato? Selena Gomez? Someone I'm totally unaware of because I only tune in to Disney when I sit on the remote control and it changes the channel?
* If you live anywhere near a radio, a nightclub, or basically any English speaking human life, you're probably familiar with Ke$ha's breakout hit "TiK ToK." No matter how you feel about the song, get used to it. For the week ending Dec 27th Ke$ha set a sales record moving 610,000 units of the song digitally, which is the highest one week total ever for a female artist, and second highest one week total overall. "TiK ToK's" lyrics may be the definition of vapid, but when discussing the song with a prominent DJ (whaddup Halo) we both noted that despite its content "TiK ToK's" verses and hooks are put together really well musically and the song is a DJs best friend when it comes to getting people on a dance floor. Ke$ha actually ha

Among the many highlights on Black Gives Way To Blue, the highly anticipated new album from ALICE IN CHAINS, is a special guest performance by Elton John. The two rock legends collaborated on the album's stunning title track, "Black Gives Way To Blue," a heart-stirring tribute to Alice In Chains' late lead singer Layne Staley. The album arrives in stores September 29.
Out of the dozen finalists announced for the 25th anniversary of the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame; only The Stooges, ABBA, Jimmy Cliff, Genesis and the Hollies make up the 2010 class.

"I never imagined we would get to the point of releasing a 10 Year Anniversary edition…When we were recording this record, we were still all pretty much living at home with our parents," vocalist Jordan Pundik explains. "We were just five kids from the suburbs that knew some power chords, had a love for playing music, and a love for playing live shows."
George Michael is to release 'Live in London’ a special 23 song full concert plus 3 bonus tracks, DVD on December 8th through Epic Records/Sony Music Entertainment. This is the first live DVD of George’s 30 plus year career. Recorded and filmed at the final two concerts in London’s Earls Court arena on August 24th and 25th 2008, these highly anticipated shows marked the end of George Michael’s triumphant 25 Live Tour and were the last chance to catch George performing on a stage of this magnitude. 'Live in London’ will premiere for a special one night only showing in digital cinemas in cities throughout North America on December 3, 2009.
* Adam Lambert, and the person who booked him for the American Music Awards, are geniuses. The AMA people had to have known Lambert was going to do something shocking, which would make the AMAs a talking point for days after it aired, and at the same time, Lambert had to know the AMAs would be the perfect venue to officially shed his "American Idol contestant" tag and become a star on his own. Why mention Idol when you can now mention Lambert's gay kiss and fully-clothed simulated oral sex? Some foolish commentators are calling the decrying of Lambert's gay kiss a double standard as there was little offense taken when Madonna, Britney and Christina locked lips on TV a handful of years ago. Those criti 
* New Moon owns the universe. Everyone knew the film would do well, but I don't think anyone could have predicted its $72.7 million dollar opening day. $72.7 million is a nice chunk of change for an opening day. Actually, it's the nicest chunk of change ever for an opening day. I don't know where Harry Potter is right now, but someone needs to let him know that his time is up. The vamps from Twilight have a stranglehold on pop culture until further notice... or until someone gives Buffy Summers a call. That's one girl Edward Cullen does not want to see!
Keytar-wielding synth-pop sensation LIGHTS will be releasing Ice Pack, an exclusive remix EP today, November 24, 2009. The EP features six unique versions of “Ice”, an 80's influenced, irresistibly catchy track off LIGHTS’ debut full-length release The Listening. The Ice Pack will be available exclusively online at www.iamlights.com.
On December 15th, Warner Bros. Records will release Sounds Like This Live 2, an EP featuring stripped-down versions of five songs from Eric Hutchinson's full-length debut, Sounds Like This, which entered Billboard's Heatseekers chart at No. 1 in September of 2007. More than two years later, Sounds Like This is the second best-selling album on the Heatseekers chart. Sounds Like This Live 2 follows Hutchinson's Sounds Like This Live EP, which features live versions of five different songs and was released in April of 2009.
Michael Bublé, riding high with the enormous global success of his chart topping "Crazy Love" CD will be hitting the road beginning March 10th in Orlando, Florida, it was confirmed today by Reprise Records and the tour's national promoter, Beaver Productions. Twenty shows are being announced (see below) with stops in New York (March 20), Chicago (March 27) and Los Angeles (April 9). Additional tour dates for the Crazy Love Tour which will run throughout 2010 will be announced early next year. 
Drummer of Fall Out Boy Andy Hurley has announced through his Twitter page that the band is officially on hiatus.
MySpace Music is “almost certainly” going to severely restrict free streaming to users, say multiple sources, and move to a paid model. 
* Video game creator Activision is finding themselves in hot water again for the way they're using musicians' likenesses in their "Hero" games. First they were called out by the surviving members of Nirvana and Courtney Love for making Kurt Cobain a playable character in Guitar Hero 5 for ANY song, and now No Doubt is suing the video game company for the same issue, this time with Band Hero making Gwen Stefani available for ANY song. According to an interview with the LA Times, No Doubt's manager Jim Guerinot said the band "agreed to play three No Doubt songs as a band. Activision then went and put them in 62 other songs and broke the band up (and) never even asked." I'm sorry, I like No Doubt a lot, but if you're THAT concerned about your image, don't sign away you 
* In a huge win for synth-pop, Owl City claimed the top spot on the Billboard singles chart this past week with "Fireflies." What I really dig about this is that "Fireflies" had a slow build. It's almost as if, for the first time in what seems like forever, a major label put a song out there and just let people discover it. "Fireflies" wasn't shoved down our throats. I remember getting the single in the mail in mid-July. I'm glad they gave it time and let the fan base build for it. I'm also glad Owl City is teaming up with Lights for a tour in 2010. That should be an amazing show and I can't wait to check it out.
Jason Derulo, pop singer, songwriter, and highly anticipated Beluga Heights artist is taking the music world by storm. His debut single "Whatcha Say," quickly reached #2 on The BILLBOARD Top 100 and # 3 on ITUNES and has sold over 1.4 million singles thus far. He is set to hit the road with Lady Gaga and Kid Cudi in December. After being discovered by super producer J.R. Rotem, American Idol judge, and Warner Bros. Senior Vice President of A&R Kara DioGuardi signed Derulo as the flagship artist for the new Beluga Heights /Warner Bros joint venture.
* Rihanna made her fans giddy and her detractors even more detracting this past week with the release of "Russian Roulette," a single that was clearly made in order to create controversy. Before I get to the meat and potatoes of the song, you can bet on at least one family suing her, her label, and anyone associated with her, if a kid shoots themselves anytime in the next six months and happens to have it on their hard drive. Vocally, Rihanna actually sounds decent on "Russian Roulette." Maybe she wanted to make up for her voice cracking really terribly at the end of "Run This Town" (and we have to assume that was the best of all the takes). When it comes to the actual content of the song, however, I'm just 
With a year's worth of continuous praise from her home base U.K, now enthusiastically echoed by leading-edge Stateside cognoscenti and media tastemakers, the debut American EP by the warm-voiced, strikingly visual and greatly gifted singer-songwriter V V BROWN will be released digitally October 20, 2009. 
Wasting no time following up its acclaimed second album, Bomb in a Birdcage, A FINE FRENZY—led by Alison Sudol—has announced a special treat for the holidays. On November 3, 2009, the band will be releasing the six-song EP Oh Blue Christmas, available exclusively at Target, Target.com and the Target area on iTunes. The whimsical collection contains three holiday classics ("Blue Christmas," "Winter Wonderland," and "Christmas Time is Here," from the beloved Charlie Brown Christmas) alongside three seasonal Sudol originals ("Redribbon Foxes," "Winter White," and "Wish You Well").

Beloved Canadian pop-rock icons Tegan and Sara have announced that they will launch their first extensive tour of the U.S. in nearly two years in February 2010. The tour kicks off February 12th in Northampton, MA, and criss-crosses the country before finishing up on April 6th in Salt Lake City, UT. The ticket pre-sale begins this Wednesday, October 14th, at 10 a.m. The password for all pre-sales is "Sainthood." Tickets will go on sale to the public on Friday, October 16th, at 10 a.m.
Justin Bieber, the soulful and precocious 15-year-old worldwide sensation whose first two single releases are currently both in the iTunes Top 20 full-song download chart, will perform three songs live on the open-air Rockefeller Plaza stage of NBC's Today Show this morning between 7 and 9 a.m.
"REPLAY," the debut smash single from rising island pop star Iyaz, who was discovered by super producer J.R. Rotem and international pop star Sean Kingston, is number 6 on iTunes Top 100 and number 6 on iTunes Pop Chart and is quickly climbing up the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The infectious melodic single has fans across the country already claiming it an instant hit. "Replay" is now in rotation on two of the most influential stations in the country, Los Angeles' KIIS FM and New York's Z100. With an explosive week at radio the Top 40 / Mainstream chart has him up 422 spins making him one of the top gainers. He has gone from *38 -*32 on the chart. New adds include Y100/ Miami, WIHT/Washington, WKSC – KIIS / Chicago, WIOQ/ Philly among numerous other markets. 
Bremerton, WA's punk trio MxPx will be embarking on an International tour to Japan and Malaysia, but with a slight twist. An MxPx All-Star line-up has been announced featuring MxPx lead vocalist and bassist Mike Herrera along with Kris Roe of The Ataris on guitar and Chris Wilson of The Summer Obsession on drums. The MxPx All-Stars will perform four dates in Japan with friends, Zebrahead starting on December 4 in Tokyo and ending in Osaka on December 8. The All-Stars will then head off to KualaLumpur, Malaysia for a solo date on December 11.
* Lady Gaga and Kanye West - Fame Kills was going to be the name of the tour, but the only killing it did was of itself. Apparently ticket sales were poor, although that should really come as no surprise as, despite both being pop radio faves, Gaga and Kanye's fan bases don't exactly crossover. So in essence, this was a tour where fans of each artist were asked to pony up a healthy increase in the amount they would normally have to pay for a ticket just because an artist they have little to no interest 
The spectacular debut album that launched Sheryl Crow into rock music consciousness has been expanded both musically and visually for the 2CD/1DVD Tuesday Night Music Club – Deluxe Edition (A&M/UMe), released November 17, 2009. Along with the original 1993 album, the package adds a second CD containing B-sides, rarities and out-takes, as well as a bonus DVD featuring the album's videos ("Leaving Las Vegas," "All I Wanna Do," "Strong Enough," "Can't Cry Anymore," "Run, Baby, Run" and "What I Can Do For You," plus a rare alternate version of "All I Wanna Do" directed by Roman Coppola) and a newly produced documentary comprised of on-the-road, backstage, soundcheck and live footage from the original album tour.
Seldom has an album twisted so thrillingly through so many styles, nor over-flowed with so much melody and feeling. Little wonder that Black is being tipped by the world's critics and bloggers as one of 2010's most promising break through artists. If his name already rings a bell, that's perhaps because you've heard everyone from Zane Lowe to Perez Hilton raving about HYPNTZ, the Notorious BIG cover which first brought Black to the world's attention when unsigned in 2008.
After rocketing to #1 on the iTunes Overall Album chart and #1 on Amazon.com with their debut album LOSING SLEEP, featuring the top 15 Hot AC hit "She Is Love,” Mercury Records group Parachute will release their long-awaited second single when "Under Control” impacts at Hot AC on September 28th. "Under Control” is shaping up as one of the biggest-ever Single Of The Week releases ever to emerge from an iTunes #1 album debut. And for the first time ever, the official iTunes Facebook fan page will stream the entire video premiere for "Under Control” tomorrow, October 2nd.
* The internet can be a great way for artists to communicate with their fans. Unfortunately, it can also be a haven for negativity. Lily Allen found this out the hard way last week when she posted a blog about her thoughts on illegal downloading and the resulting conflagration turned into such a huge mess that she ended up taking down the blog and then announcing she has no plans to extend her recording contract once it's up. Does this mean that Lily Allen could be done making music? Personally, I hope not, and I hope that she keeps voicing her opinions on music industry related topics, as well. Even if people think she says the wrong thing at times isn't that better than the artists who say nothing at all, or the artists who simply say what 
Fueled By Ramen Records has announced the release of Flint, Michigan-based band The Swellers' new album.

With the same passion, Rod approaches some of the greatest soul songs ever written.

* A lot of people have been asking me about my thoughts regarding Kanye West's "outburst" at the VMAs on Sunday. Honestly, I think the entire "incident" was staged. Here are some of the reasons why – 1) MTV not only plans out the order of when each award will be given out, but they also know who is winning which awards. It's seems more than just convenient that Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift to talk about Beyonce only to then have Beyonce win later on in the night and ask Swift to come on stage with her. 2) The fact that Swift changed into a dress to match Beyonce's for the "moment." 3) Kanye always rants about the greatness of himself, or something he did, not about the greatness of others. 4) Of all the artists 
2008 saw the Queen of Rock 'N Roll, Tina Turner return to the live circuit and announce the 'Tina Turner's 50th Anniversary Concert Tour' much to the delight of her fans. The tour kicked off in Kansas in October 2008 and continued for six months visiting over ten countries in two continents.
* With so many terrible things going on in the world I think it's great to hear Michael Franti's "Say Hey (I Love You)" getting major airplay. Franti and his band, Spearhead, have always been one of the most politically active groups in music, but with the fun and beautiful "Say Hey" they may be making their greatest statement yet - it's cool to be happy and say how much you love someone. It may sound pretty basic, but it's said so rarely nowadays that when someone finally does sing about it again it brings about a really refreshing vibe. Heck, every time I hear the song I just want to grab the first cute girl I see and start dancing with her. In fact ... you, over there ... let's make it happen lit 
Sultry pop-soul newcomers Nikki & Rich have signed a recording deal with Warner Bros. Records, which will release their debut album in 2010. This marks Lenny Waronker's first signing since his return to the Warner fold under the helm of Chairman and CEO Tom Whalley. The Los Angeles-based duo's first single, the playful, doo-wop-inspired "Cat and Mouse," can be heard in the upcoming season premiere of the CW network's 90210 on Tuesday, September 8th. The song will also be made available for purchase on iTunes that day.
In 2007, after seven years together as a band, OneRepublic took the world by storm with their debut release Dreaming Out Loud. The album included the smash first single "Apologize" which shattered digital sales and airplay records worldwide, and along with second single "Stop And Stare" propelled the album to platinum plus sales. Now the boys from Denver are back with a new set and a fall tour! Waking Up will be released November 17th on Mosley/Interscope Records. First single "All The Right Moves" will go for adds at radio September 22nd.
* This past week Chris Brown was finally sentenced for his assaulting of Rihanna. He ended up with no actual jail time, but five years probation, an order to stay away from Rihanna until 2014, fines, counseling, community service, and strict orders to "abstain from the use of all alcoholic beverages and stay out of places where they are the chief item of sale." So how did Brown celebrate staying out of the slammer? By immediately violating the terms of his probation, of course! Just one day, ONE DAY, after having his sentence handed down to him Brown was seen living it up at a 21+ nightclub where, you guessed it, alcoholic beverages were the chief item of sale. Is this a case of a celebrity scoffing the law 
In 1969, Karen and Richard Carpenter signed to A&M Records and released their debut album. Forty years later, the Carpenters are recognized not only as the most successful brother-sister act in music history and one of the best-selling acts of all-time but also as a pop culture phenomenon that continues to resonate today. Celebrating that legacy, the two-CD 40/40 (A&M/UMe), released October 20, 2009, produced by Richard Carpenter, brings together 40 of the duo's greatest hits and best-loved recordings, each digitally remastered.
Black Feelings are the essence of a power trio: each member of the three-piece exhibiting a great deal of power while the whole remains balanced. Consisting of two former members of Montreal's Les Angles Morts, the band has developed a unique a hybrid of the British post punk and experimental scenes that spawned the likes of This Heat, Gang of Four and the Pop Group with heavy traces of psychedelic-goth and cold wave. Like American band The Liars, Black Feelings' penchant for combining a variety of influences to conjure up a sound that is both retro and vitally fresh at the same time. The band's main vocalist and drummer Owain Lawson is kept busy as he sings and holds down the rhythm section alongside fellow founding member and bassist Brian Mitchell, while the sound is rounded out with shimmering guitar and synth flourishes provided by Kyle Fostner.
Legendary trip-hop duo Massive Attack have announced the release of their first new material in three years - an EP of four new tracks due for release on October 6th from Virgin Records. The lead song "Splitting The Atom" features Robert Del Naja (3D), Grant Marshall (Daddy G) and Horace Andy, while TV On The Radio frontman Tunde Adebimpe guests on "Pray For Rain". The EP also has remixes of two new tracks; "Psyche" featuring Martina Topley-Bird is given the re-rub by Van Rivers & The Subliminal Kid who have recently remixed Bat For Lashes and The Big Pink, while the Guy Garvey fronted "Bulletproof Love" is stripped back to a minimalist reworking by Christoff Berg, who alongside Van Rivers & The Subliminal Kid produced the Fever Ray eponymous album.
A Sunshower can be a rare occurrence, but when these opposing forces meet, magic and allure is in the air. This is exactly why the NYC-based rockers, Jupiter One, chose the title (inspired by the Japanese short film Dreams by Akira Kurosawa) for their upcoming Ryko album available September 15, 2009. Their far-out freshness mixed with timeless musical inspirations mesh together in a bittersweet indie-pop rock concoction—produced by the group and noted engineer Chris Ribando (Diamond Nights, The Black Crowes, The Fever).
On September 22, music fans will finally be able to hear Love Travels, the record that critics everywhere are talking about. Billboard magazine has hailed 21-year-old singing/songwriting sensation Angel Taylor as one of their "15 Artists to Watch in 2009," and The New York Post agrees, ranking her amongst their "6 Who'll Sizzle" this year.
Hailing from Chicago, Illinois, Grant Harris formed electro-pop outfit Breathe Electric in 2007 and soon after released the debut self-produced EP Honestly. Harris quickly gained momentum with extensive touring playing alongside bands such as Never Shout Never, The Secret Handshake and Automatic Loveletter to name a few, as well as dates on this past summer's Vans Warped Tour transforming each show into a non-stop dance party. Within a year, Honestly would sell over 20,000 single downloads from iTunes and 5,000 physical copies independently through touring, online retailers including Smartpunk.com, and Hot Topic locations across the country.
Refusing to label their new project as a musical, U2 has explained that their music will accompany a Spider-Man themed production set to debut on Broadway in New York during 2010.

Warner Bros Records is proud to announce the October 6, 2009 release of The Listening, the debut full-length album from LIGHTS. The Toronto singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist crafts her own brand of sparkling, otherworldly electro-pop that is, in her words "soft, but not pussy-soft, you know?" LIGHTS' songs have already garnered almost 16 million plays on MySpace, and she has racked up a #1 hit on MuchMusic, inclusion in a series of Old Navy commercials, and airtime on The Hills. On the strength of her self-titled EP alone, LIGHTS won the 2009 Juno (the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy Award) for New Artist of the Year, joining the ranks of Feist and Nelly Furtado. 
Eisley will go back on the road this October for an extensive nationwide tour as very special guests of Say Anything. The tour begins October 14th in Anaheim, CA, and runs through November 22nd where it concludes at the famed Troubadour in Los Angeles. Joining Say Anything and Eisley will be Vagrant Records' Moneen. Miniature Tigers and Moving Mountains will also split duties as the support act.
On the heels of the release of her acclaimed debut full-length album HIGH HOPES & HEARTBREAK, singer/songwriter/musician BROOKE WHITE has announced her first-ever nationwide tour.

HIGH HOPES & HEARTBREAK--released July 21 via June Baby Records, a new indie label formed by BROOKE, Randy Jackson and Carl Stubner (head of Sanctuary Artist Management)—debuted as an iTunes pre-release at #47 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart, #7 on the Independent Albums chart and #6 on the Digital albums chart.

Weezer seems to be running out of colors to devote their albums to, which is perhaps why they haven't released the title yet for their seventh album, due out October 27th.
Who else thinks that John Lennon is rolling in his grave? 
* Singer/Actress Vanessa Hudgens had more nude photos "leaked" onto the internet this past week, just in time to coincide with the hype for her latest movie, Bandslam. Part of me is slightly disgusted for thinking that all this could be intentional. The pics were from when she was 17 and I really don't want to think someone in her camp felt the best way to get press was to "leak" naked pictures of their then underage star. This is Hollywood we're talking about, though, so I wouldn't put it past someone to do it. In a related story, where can I find a girl who's gonna snap some phone camera pics like that for me? (Only those over 18 need apply.)
The amazing Robbie Williams, who has sold a staggering 55 million albums worldwide has announced that he will release his brand new album Reality Killed The Video Star globally on November 9th followed by a digital release in the U.S. on November 10th on EMI's Virgin Records. Robbie teamed up with producer Trevor Horn (Paul McCartney, Seal, Pet Shop Boys, Cher) for Reality Killed The Video Star which was recorded and mixed London.
Baltimore pop-punk band All Time Low recently stripped down their songs to just an essential heart beat, exclusively for MTV Unplugged. The performance was shot in New York City, and had the band take their high-energy performance down a notch in the candle-lit studio for some very fortunate fans who intently sung along. Watch All Time Low play two new songs off their latest album Nothing Personal, "Damned If I Do Ya, Damned If I Don't" and "Weightless". Also don't miss live performances from their previous releases "So Wrong ,It's Right" and "Put Up Or Shut Up" including "Dear Maria, Count Me In," "Coffee Shop Soundtrack," "Jasey Rae" and a surprise duet with Kate Voegele on "Remembering Sunday."
With further details now released about Brand New's upcoming fourth album, 'Daisy', now all fans have to do is sit back and eagerly await September 22.
* Entertainment Weekly just came out with their list of the Top 20 film and TV vampires of all-time and it's a list that totally sucks up (pun intended) to the new vamps on the block, Twilight and True Blood, as well as Tom Cruise (Number ONE?!?! What, did he write the damned article?), while completely ignoring some of my personal faves. Thankfully, they gave Angel a mention at seven, but nowhere on the list were his fellow Buffy bloodsuckers Spike, Drusilla and Darla. The list also ignored Dark Shadows and left off the greatest TV vamp of all - Count von Count, aka The Count, from Sesame Street. I mean, if you can include a Twilight character you can include a Sesame Street character, they pract 
Reprise Records' My Chemical Romance is currently in the studio in Los Angeles working on their highly anticipated fourth studio album with veteran producer Brendan O'Brien. O'Brien is known for his work with Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith, and many others.

Fearless/Atlantic recording group Mayday Parade has revealed early details of their eagerly anticipated Atlantic debut album. "ANYWHERE BUT HERE" – which features the first single/video, "The Silence" – arrives in stores and at all online retailers on October 6th.
* While I'm thrilled that Shakira managed to work the word lycanthropy into her latest single, "She Wolf," I'm saddened to say it doesn't change the fact that the song is all kinds of terrible. I am a huge Shakira fan, but "She Wolf" is way below standards for her. It doesn't show off her vocal range, it has a weak "produced" sounding beat, and at its very core it's basically a "lite" pop song. I never thought I'd say it, but Shakira has given us fluff. The Shakira I love has huge vocals and musically dynamic songs. Can we find that Shakira and bring her back?
Boy band heart throbs, The Backstreet Boys, are set to release their eight album this October. The album is said to include a collaboration with rapper T-Pain, who Brian Littrell described as the 'hottest thing since sliced bread.' The boys have staked their reputation on impressing audiences with their vocal work. 
On October 20, Blue Note Records will release Spilt Milk, the debut album from singer Kristina Train . Train - who was born in New York City and raised in Savannah, Georgia - has made an urbane, soulful, and lush debut that showcases her stunning voice. As a vocalist, Train alternates between gentle balladeering and powerful belting, her bluesy vibrato revealing the breadth and elegance of a young Dusty Springfield - a little bit London, a little bit Memphis.
Platinum-selling singer-songwriter Michelle Branch will return with her first solo album in six years with Everything Comes and Goes, which will be released by Reprise/Warner Bros. Nashville in late Fall.The first single, "Sooner or Later," will be an iTunes exclusive premiere available July 28 and will impact country radio on August 11.

Pop-punkers Blink 182 began their tour in Las Vegas last night to a sold out crowd of 4,000 adoring fans. The band played a 22 song set that included work mostly from their most recent three albums. 
'Celebration' will be the title of Madonna's upcoming Greatest Hits album that is due out September 28th. Wait, hasn't she put out a greatest hits compilation before? 
Three and half years in the making, Whitney Houston's 'I Look To You'

Two deaths and eight injuries resulted Thursday night during the setup of Madonna's stage for her Sticky and Sweet tour. 
Happy Summertime, 101D-listers! I know I'm a little late with that greeting, but I was too busy trying to scale the walls of the world finding new music for you to sink your ears into. So yeah, summer is good. Hot weather, cold food, hot people. It's always the summertime that brings the freaks to the streets. When all of that happens, you know that trouble is right around the corner. Speaking of trouble, that brings me to my pick this week. The artist's name is Lenka and she's Australian. You've probably already heard her, as MTV has been abusing a few songs off her self-titled debut album. 
Kid Sister has been sparking up quite the buzz, which is a good thing because by the time she drops her debut album 'Ultraviolet,' she'll still be relevant. As we all know, most artists will generate a colossal buzz and release massive singles only to never drop an album (coughDRAKEcough).
Performing on the Ed Sullivan studio grounds for the first time since the Beatles debut in 1964, Sir Paul McCartney played for thousands yesterday in New York City. After his appearance on the David Letterman Show, pop music's most successful musician was escorted to the Savile Roof, where only two other acts have played before. Always the crowd-pleaser, McCartney expanded beyond his two songs in support of the show and treated the crowd to a half hour set, pleading to the nearby police officer, "Can we stay a little longer? Please?"
He might not be on the same skill level as Anderson Silva, Mauricio "Shogun" Rua or Gina Carano, but Gabe Saporta is on a mission to master the beautiful art of muay Thai.
Perhaps the most successful neon-haired-female-fronted band since No Doubt, Paramore continues to glow with their new single, 'Ignorance', off their third album, "Brand New Eyes", out September 29th. 
* With her latest single, "It's Alright, It's OK," Ashley Tisdale is becoming everything pop radio wanted Kelly Clarkson to be. Thankfully, it's a much more fitting position for Tisdale. This is not a knock on Clarkson. I actually think the former American Idol winner could be making some truly timeless music if given the opportunity (blues or soul anyone?), but pop music just doesn't suit her well, at least not like it suits Tisdale. I also like the way Tisdale is being positioned as the next level up in maturity from Miley Cyrus. Some folks may forget that, despite co-starring in three movies titled High School Musical… you remember, Tisdale was the one who didn't have the nudie pics show up on the web… she's actually 24 years old. Side note - is there any doubt the 2000's will be remembered as the decade Disney just kept crankin out the pop stars?
It doesn't seem to take much effort to land a record deal these days. After terrible actresses like Paris Hilton, Leighton Meester and Linday Lohan have slapped their name on an auto-tuned debut album, it seems only appropriate that Perez Hilton follows the trend. 
This summer has spawned multiple reunion tours among successful acts that thrived in the 80s and 90s. While I am excited to see artists that I was formerly too young to attend their concert, this weekend has made me realize that the reformation of these musicians isn’t a product of newfound creativity, but rather a greed-driven attempt for more cash. 
Gather 'round the campfire, 101D-listers. Mama has a story. So a few years back I wrote for this magazine, right, and one of my duties was reviewing awful CDs. No seriously, I don't think I ever came across a CD that was good. So this one time (at band camp) I had to review an album called Listen Again, a compilation mixed by Rob da Bank and Chris Coco. Who? Exactly. It's a good thing I actually care about my job, because I suffered through this CD sucking on a Ring Pop because I felt like I was in some ecstasy laced hell. Then, I hear this strange computerized yet sultry voiced man go "Hello Sweet Pie..." My ears perked up while he whispered into the track seducing the voice that followed which said, "Yes, Boss. I'm on the mic. I'll try to give you what you like." The song was really just a parade of digital sounds, while this mildly perverse conversation going on seemed to substantiate it. The song was called "Yess Boss" and the group's name was Hess Is More.
* When I first heard my local radio DJ announce they were going to play Jordin Sparks' latest single, "Battlefield," I held my breath praying it wasn't going to be a remake of the Pat Benatar classic "Love is a Battlefield." Thankfully, it wasn't. What Sparks did instead was put together a single that might finally launch her into the second tier of pop stars (which is the tier right under the Lady Gagas and Katy Perrys of the world). Even though American Idol voters are wrong the vast majority of the time (seriously folks, how can you claim to love a singer and then not even buy their album once you've made them the winner), Sparks may have just needed a little time to grow into the pop star role. Heck, if more young artists were given that opportunity to grow who knows what the pop scene would look like right now.
A couple of years ago, Panic! At The Disco certainly set the score for the local scene in my hometown of Las Vegas, Nv. Never having played a local show before they were signed, their success was almost always based on luck. After lead singer Brenden Urie submitted a few tracks to a Pete Wentz blog post, the Fall Out Boy singer offered them a record deal.
This Fall is shaping up to be one of the most memorable ones ever for th music industry. Aside from tours and metal bands, Nashville-based homeboy Landon Pigg has just announced that he is releasing his sophomore album The Boy Who Never on September 15th. Evidently, the singer-songwriter's single "Falling In Love At A Coffee Shop" has sold amazingly well thus far.
With Michael Jackson’s memorial service edging near and his video dedications on VH1 fading away, I am starting to spark curiosity about his assets. Particularity his ownership of John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s song catalogue, Northern Songs, which contains every song written by the pair, leading up to the Beatles legal separation in 1971. For those unfamiliar, Michael Jackson currently owns the rights to most of these songs that have been estimated to value over 600 million. 
Dragonette came together when husband and wife combo Dan and Martina met. Cool Canadians, they shipped off to the UK with buddy Joel and met Will there. Now they're a band. They're signed to Universal and are destined for big things when the world finally gets to hear them properly. Perez Hilton is a big fan if that means anything to you. 
* Katy Perry's One of the Boys just celebrated its one year anniversary on B 
Pop-punkers Set Your Goals has some news for you. The group has just released a video for the title track of their new album "This Will Be The Death Of Us." The record is slated for release on July 21st and will be doing a co-headlining tour with dope fellow pop-punk troupe Four Year Strong.
Born to a family of gypsies, Neon was raised in the greenery of the UK and as a child w 
In the wake of the death of Michael Jackson, there isn't any surprise that today is going to be a slow news day. It's Friday anyways. What a way to ring in the weekend, right?
They say deaths come in threes. Ed McMahon passed away on June 23rd. Farrah Fawcett succumbed to cancer on June 25th. And just several hours later, "The King Of Pop" Michael Jackson went into cardiac arrest and pronounced dead at 2:26 PM at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California.
One of the bands that MySpace has been in love with for a long time, Never Shout Never, has been made some major strides in the music industry this past week. The group's latest offering The Summer EP has officially entered in the Top 10 Best-Selling Albums Chart on iTunes. Aside from the digital end, the group is bound to move a truckload of units on tour this summer.
Get your mind out of the gutter. Yes. But no, not in that matter. What we mean is the LA-based pop rock outfit will be performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live on July 30th, certainly one of the better late night shows out there.
* Lady Gaga is pretty much queen of the pop world right now and there are plenty of people, myself included, who are very happy about that. Her label, Interscope Records, however, never saw it coming. In fact, they originally thought of her as nothing more than a niche artist that 
Indie pop trio The Postmarks are on the verge of releasing their second full-length 'Memoirs At the End.' Like their previous LP, there was a science that went into making this album, as I'm made fully aware of in this darling press release.
