Daniel Radcliffe is back with his new movie The Woman In Black. It’s a bone chilling remake of a film from the ’80s. Ironically, Daniel actually scares very easily but he’s not afraid of ghosts. In this interview he tells us what really gives him the creeps.
Next time you’re struggling to make conversation, try asking this question: “If you could invite anyone (living or dead) to the perfect house party, who would it be?”
Graffiti6 is starting to make their North American invasion, and they are hitting up the Tonight Show. Does this sound familiar? Well the Beatles made the exact same journey over 40 years ago. Naturally, @jordans_life had to make some comparisons.
Nick plays World of Warcraft. Not only that, he’s the head of his guild, demonstrating that it IS possible to juggle being a hardcore gamer with being a top-selling recording artist.
During a LIVE interview on andPOP.com Nick Carter gave out a number and took phone calls from his fans. These were real phone calls from real fans who we gave exclusive access to one of the biggest recording artists of our generation.
There were great questions about music, fitness, the backstreet boys but the most popular question, however, was about his underwear. In this clip Nick talks about his his ‘Haynes’ and covering his fans with glow in the dark paint.
When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.
It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.
Diamandis from Marina and The Diamonds talks to us about her very serious disease. It’s called synaesthetic. And we lied, it’s not a disease. More like a cool condition. Diamandis explains further.
Would you be embarrassed if someone scrolled through your iPod? We sit down with Spee and Brendan to talk about the diverse music on their playlist.
As someone who practically grew up on a film set, it’s easy for Daniel Radcliffe to relate to his younger co-workers. In his latest movie, The Woman In Black, Dan traded his Hogwarts uniform for a totally new role as a Dad. It’s not as far fetched as it may seem. Although he’s only twenty-two years old, the film takes place in an era where most people were having babies in their teens. What really makes The Woman In Black believable is Mr. Radcliffe’s acting (we say Mr. Because he’s a father now). So what’s the key to playing a convincing father? Dan tells us about his “get off the shed” voice.
Daniel Radcliffe is back with his new movie The Woman In Black. It’s a bone chilling remake of a film from the ’80s. Ironically, Daniel actually scares very easily but he’s not afraid of ghosts. In this interview he tells us what really gives him the creeps.
Daniel Radcliffe, who you may have heard of from the Harry Potter franchise, will be live on andPOP Thursday January 26 at 1:40pm EST. The interview will take place from a secret location, but Daniel will be talking about his new movie, The Woman in Black, and taking fan questions via phone , Tweets, and Facebook messages live.
Here’s a sneak peek at Daniel’s new film which opens February 3.
It’s surprising to think that a dance background would be of any use to an actor playing a cartoon character. However, The Adventures of Tin Tin is so realistic it’s goes far beyond the limits of the word “animation.”
After seeing TinTin, it’s pretty obvious Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson once again raised the bar for digital realism. In this interview, Jaime Bell explains how his abilities as a dancer helped enhance his computerized performance.
For a 13-year-old girl, Paris Jackson is very articulate and mature.
She was on the Ellen Show earlier today talking about her late father, Michael Jackson. It was her first solo interview and I think she really held her head high.
She told Ellen about the many times Michael would put masks on her and her brother’s faces when they’d go out in public.
“This is stupid,” Paris remembers thinking. “Why am I wearing a mask?…But he was only trying to protect us”
She also talks about how much she enjoys school, because she doesn’t get any special treatment. She may be a regular kid now but she’s still got her eyes on the stars. She’s set to appear in a film called “Lundon’s Bridge and the Three Keys”.
Watch a clip of her interview with Ellen below.
To wrap up a successful year with the release of their second album, “The Papercut Chronicles II”, Gym Class Heroes will be playing the Z100 Jingle Ball in their home state of New York this Friday.
Stylist and charming guitarist Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo took some time in between shows to chat with andPOP. When a band like Gym Class Heroes can spend up to a year on the road, a lot of their cherished items can get left behind. Disashi isn’t shy to discuss a few of his favourite things and he and the rest of the boys hop from show to show. As a way to get a glimpse into the mysterious Disashi’s life, here are a look at some of the things that really whets his appetite.

She may not be talking for a while, since she just got out of throat surgery, but you can relive an amazing Adele moment where she speaks out about Miley, Twilight and Gwyneth Paltrow.
I personally could listen to Adele sing or talk forever. Give me a 24 hour Adele channel, and I’m so there. I love hearing Adele speak her mind about pop culture. She’s one of the few artists that isn’t afraid to say if she hates something or someone. She’s certainly my number one celeb to interview.
Check out this rad interview with Adele as she stands up for Miley. “It’s not like it was her fault she was a Disney star. She was growing up, you know?”
And, when asked about the newest Twilight movie, she has a bone to pick with one vampire in particular.
“People here [in England] think he’s American. It’s like ‘no, no no, he belongs to us, thanks!” she says of Robert Pattinson.
The guy interviewing her asked if she reads GOOP (Gwyneth Paltrow’s pretentious online lifestyle magazine). Adele said no, adding “it sounds like 2 girls 1 cup!”
Check out the hilarious interview below. Pardon the subtitles!
Courtney Love has offered to take Lindsay Lohan under the loose skin hanging from her arm, that could pass off as her “wing”. Love, an addict herself, thinks she’ll make a good mentor for Lindsay.
CTV News just posted snippets of Love’s recent interview with Details Magazine, where she shared her reasoning:
“I’ve taken up Lohan because nobody else will. [She's] further down the line than I was, because there was no [gossip websites like] TMZ then.”
This makes about as much sense as letting Jerry Sandusky babysit an eight-year-old. However, we’ll try and hold back our laughter and focus on the facts.
First, there’s an overwhelming amount of documentary footage that suggests Love and her late husband Kurt Cobain spent most of their married life using heroin. She also encountered legal troubles in the early 2000s for possession and violating her probation. Furthermore, this is the same woman whose own daughter emancipated herself at age 17.
It’s these failures that Courtney thinks would make her the ideal sobriety coach.
“I went up to Lindsay’s room one time and there was a show on called ’101 Celebrity Oops’ and I am like every other one, you know – boobs out, legs everywhere, throwing s**t at Madonna, you know, whatever. I’m like ‘Lindsay, look! Drugs are bad!’” she reveals to Details Magazine.
Drugs are bad? Really? This is the shining insight that is going to save Lohan? Lindsay has already been to rehab five times and with Love on her side it’s likely we’re going to witness a sixth.
On the bright side, maybe Love can be the mother figure Lindsay never had and in return, Lindsay can be the one daughter who never ran away from home.
After hours of debating at our office, we have concluded its impossible to choose our favorite Cullen. So rather than deliberate over our favorite vampire from Twilight, we asked the stars about some lesser known blood suckers. At the Toronto premiere of Breaking Dawn Jordan plays “who would you rather” with Ashley Green, Jackson Rawthbone and Sarah Clarke.
In light of his recent divorce announcement, Ashton’s gracing the December cover of Men’s Health. The Gossip Cop posted all the details.
The interview featured inside will now read as a tad outdated, as he talks about making relationships work, even offering dating advice to readers.
“I’m relatively scared of failure,” he tells the magazine. “But I just don’t see it as something that’s inevitable.”
For the magazine’s sister publication, Women’s Health, the 33-year-old actor answer’s was asked how he makes his marriage work.
“I think it’s all about working on the relationship and making it better … when it’s good. Don’t wait for a problem to work on things. The goal is not to get into a relationship; the goal is to be in a relationship.”
It sounds painful to read the article now, as Ashton and Demi are on the cusp of an official (and expensive) divorce. Fortunately for Men’s Health, the cover and interview were conducted months before anything ever happened between the couple, so no on should point the finger at the magazine. All we can do is called it really, really bad timing.
Leaving all references to Men Without Hats aside, @Jordans_Life asks the two stars of Footloose about “safety dances” for the bar and giving back as actors.
In case you haven’t heard, the new version of Footloose is hitting theatres on Friday October 14th. Jordan sat down with the stars Kenny Wormald and Julianne Hough, and director Craig Brewer, to talk about bringing back this cult classic. Check back soon for the 2nd part of the interview where Kenny and Julianne give Jordan some dance tips.
Jordan Knight from New Kids on the Block has a new gig – a judge on Cover Me Canada. Cover Me Canada looks to find the most talented Canadian artists by competing through singing covers. Cover Me Canada airs Sunday at 9pm EST on CBC.
Though most commonly known as “the girl in pink” from the viral YouTube video that is Rebecca Black’s “Friday,” this 14-year-old is making it clear that she has much more to offer than just a couple awkward dance moves.
“For me I grew up in a household where we all make jokes about each other and laugh about ourselves,” Benni Cinkle, a.k.a. “That Girl in Pink,” explains to andPOP. “So it wasn’t that hard for me to be able to joke [about people] saying mean things or making fun of me…I know that I didn’t dance the best in that video and so I know that when they’re saying I’m a bad dancer, they can judge that based on the dancing. And if I had to judge myself just based on that dancing I would say I’m a bad dancer too, so I’m not going to get mad at them for judging just what they saw of me.”
Soon after, Cinkle went on to start her own not-for-profit organization, and named it none other than “That Girl in Pink Foundation,” because she recognized that is how she was known to the public from the very beginning. “The biggest fan page that I had on Facebook [not run by myself] was that girl in pink who danced awkwardly,” says Cinkle. “So I was like well why don’t we just call my non-profit that, since people seem to know the name already!”
With the help of her mother, a professional in business with knowledge of non-profit organizations, Cinkle launched her organization two months ago with the purpose of raising money and awareness for issues that teenagers face daily, including teen depression, child violence, sexual abuse, bullying, and cyber-bulling. On September 1, Cinkle released her first single and music video, entitled, “Can You See Me Now,” whereby 20 per cent of the profits will go towards her organization.
Paulo Costanzo has done pretty well for a kid from Brampton Ontario. He’s a hilarious dude, has a co-starring role on the hit USA Network show Royal Pains, and has finally broken out of being known simply as “that stoner guy from Road Trip”. He let us into his ridiculously fancy hotel suite while he was passing through Toronto to ask him some questions about the show, how the insanely wealthy live, Henry effing Winkler, and Abortion. Oh no we di’int.
You can catch Royal Pains starting on August 31st @ 10pm EST on Showcase, or on USA Network.
Yes you read that title correctly. In Kenny Hotz’s new show Triumph of the Will, Kenny tries to find his 76 year old Mom a new man. This is just an example of the crazy sh*t Kenny is up to on his new show. We screened the first episode and we were throughly impressed. We sat down with Kenny to talk about the new project, which debuts on Showcase Action at 10pm EST July 22.

andPOP had an email interview with Adam Young, who talked about collaborating with Canadian singer, Lights, keeping in touch with friends and writing about personal relationships.
“Some are true, some are fabricated, some are metaphorical, some are written entirely from the imagination,” said the Minnesota native. “The only songs I’ve ever written 100% accurate to a very personal relationship of mine is a melancholy piano ballad entitled called Lonely Lullaby.”
Young said the song Lonely Lullaby is about his ex-girlfriend Ann Marie who he described as the “most wonderful, beautiful woman” he knew.
He was “madly in love with everything about her” and said she had a huge impact on his life.
Maybe communication was the reason their relationship didn’t last.
“Ironically I’m too shy to webcam with friends, or even family for that matter. I’m not much for phone calls or texting either. Communicating is just not something I’m crazy about. I’d rather communicate through music.”
When asked about All Things Bright and Beautiful, Owl City’s latest album, Young said that he wishes his music could portray the “pure and perfect dreams” his “imagination so effortlessly captures.” But translating what’s in one’s mind isn’t the easiest of tasks.
“I wanted the record to feel extremely innocent because of my innate fascination with all things that are pure and beautifully innocent. Nature might be the most perfect form of innocence I can think of and that’s ultimately why the album is very “forest/countryside” themed,” said Young.
As a multi-instrumentalist and producer, Young spent a lot of time polishing his “craft as an engineer” before worrying about writing lyrics or arranging songs.
“Rather than turn knobs without knowing what they do, this time around I made sure I really knew the gear I had in the studio before diving into the songwriting part of the process,” said Young. “The record is a notch up for me with respect to production, I’m really happy with how it turned out and I’m very excited about the next chapter in this wild and crazy story known as Owl City.”
While writing The Yacht Club, a dance track, Young decided that the track needed a “breathy, whimsical, dreamy female vocalist.” Guess who popped into his mind? Our very own Lights! And good choice too. For Young, it was a dream come true to work with her.
Lady Gaga wants to do movies, according to MTV News.
Now, you would think Hollywood right? Wrong! Mother monster wants to do Bollywood films.
The singer revealed that if she was offered to do a song and dance number in Bollywood, she wouldn’t say no.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Gaga said ” I have seen a few Bollywood films and I love how theatrical they are, and that’s my favorite part – that they are so surreal and full of fantasy.”
Shocked? I’m not. If there is anyone who can pull off a “surreal and full of fantasy” dance number, it’s Gaga.
Michael Bay is an amazing director who has done an incredible job with “Transformers.” Understandably, everyone is a little upset to hear Bay is retiring from the “Transformers” franchise. Tyrese Gibson even started crying when Jordan brought it up (well he was pretending to cry, but nevertheless). Anyways Tyrese spoke to us about the latest “Transformers” release, and not surprisingly, it looks the best one yet.
Just a few days after the Season 4 So You Think You Can Dance Canada premier, fans all over the country are geared up to embark on this year’s journey to find Canada’s next favourite dancer. Following a number of young hopefuls during the ups and downs of a difficult on air dancing competition, the new season and its judges promise to be bigger and better than any season prior. As judge Tré Armstrong reveals, viewers will be treated to sexy dancing and a lot of talent as early on as the first three minutes of the season.
“I’m anxious and nervous and excited and overwhelmed at the same time to see the show tonight,” Armstrong told andPOP on Monday, a mere few hours before the premier. “[It’s the] best season yet for sure.”
However, it’s definitely not all fun and games for the contestants. As every other season, this time around each competitor who the judges are unconvinced should proceed to Finals Week in Toronto must come face to face with their worst nightmare – a little thing called “Blake Boot Camp.”
“It’s definitely the first moment where their eyes really kind of start to bulge out of their heads and say wow, okay, I didn’t know how hard this is going to be,” says Armstrong’s co-judge and choreographer, Blake McGrath. “We do that to prepare them for the shows. It’s a really gruelling process.” The experience, which McGrath titles interesting, fun, and crazy, definitely takes its toll on the contestants’ nerves. “I think people throw up this year, actually,” the judge reveals.
