Best of 2011: Top Ten Music Videos

Posted by Natalia Buia on December 19th, 2011

2011, like any other year, was full of sex, drugs, violence and even some dancing monkeys. Music videos from such artists like Bruno Mars and Britney Spears have kept us entertained from January until December. Here at andPOP, we can’t wrap up a fantastic year without discussing our top ten music videos.

10. Dr. Dre and Eminem – “I Need a Doctor” 

Dr. Dre’s first official single in over a decade and we love how the video walks us through the rapper’s life.

Britney Spears Engaged? Third Time’s a Charm

Posted by @jordans_life on December 16th, 2011

Hitch Me Baby One More Time! Sigh… (excuse the over gratuitous punning.)

Rumours are flying on the internet after Britney tweeted a rather suspicious suggestion that Jason Trawick may have finally proposed.

At just 30 years old, Britney Spears is already chasing down Elizabeth Taylor’s all-time record for most celebrity marriages. This will be the third time Britney has said her vows, but the first time it will really seems legitimate.

We all know the years haven’t always been kind to Britney and I’m just happy she found a nice guy who’s a good influence on her. Since they got together, we’ve seen many candid photos of the couple looking genuinely happy with her two kids from a previous marriage. You could even say it’s starting to look like the nuclear family she always wanted. In addition, since being with Jason, there hasn’t been a single “hot mess” moment and no one has threatened to shave their head.

We’re still waiting on the official confirmation but let’s hope it’s true so we can finally be rid of K-Fed forever.

Celebrities: Before and After

Posted by Natalia Buia on December 15th, 2011

I’d like to think that as the years go by, we get better and better looking. We always evolve from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan.

Just look at these before and after pictures of some of the hottest stars in Hollywood. They used to have bushy eyebrows, but now they have neatly threaded brows. They used to have frizzy hair, but now they have lucious long locks. They used to have a crooked nose, but now it’s thin and even due to many surgical procedures.

Oh No They Didn’t posted dozens of before and after shots and we’ve picked our favourite 10. Check them out.

Britney Spears

Shia LaBeouf

Brian Austin Green

Kristen Stewart

Lindsay Lohan

Megan Fox

 

Jennifer Lopez

Miley Cyrus

Courtney Cox

Amber Rose still looks the same.

Britney Spears Sends Video Message to Nicki Minaj

Posted by Natalia Buia on December 8th, 2011

Britney Spears wouldn’t dare miss her former concert opener’s birthday, today!

Nicki Minaj turns 29 today and Britney appears to be the first celeb to send out a video message to the chart-topping rapper.

Britney says she misses having Nicki on tour and wishes her good luck at the Grammys. Nicki’s nominated for many awards including Best New Artist.

Knowing how outrageous and wild Nicki can be, I’m sure she’s throwing a fierce birthday bash today. I can’t tell if it’ll feature her infamous impersonator, as seen at Miley’s 19th birthday party. I do have a feeling that a lot of things will be painted pink. Now, if only her faux-lover Drake could pop out of a cake…

Check out Britney’s heartwarming video below.

Britney Spears Turns 30: Her Top 5 Most Outrageous Moments

Posted by Natalia Buia on December 2nd, 2011

Our beloved Brit Brit has reached another milestone. She has reached her dirty thirties today.

Since escaping her mother’s womb 30 years ago in Mississippi, she’s never had a dull moment. From starring in the Mickey Mouse Club, to dating the hottest boy band member, the whole world is always in the loop when it comes to her career and personal life. The pop princess had accomplished a lot for a 30-year-old; some good, some bad and some ugly. Here’s a look at the top five most outrageous Britney moments.

5. Her 2001 VMA performance

While “singing” her hit song “I’m a Slave 4 U”, Britney’s wardrobe consisted of a green bikini, a lot of glitter and a white python. The sultry performance was talked about for weeks at the water cooler. People still dress up in this costume for Halloween sometimes.

4. Entering motherhood

Six years ago, while married to Kevin Federline, Britney had her first son, Sean Preston Federline. It came as a shock because no one thought Britney was ready for such a responsibility. In fact, after her second child, Jayden James Federline, people still poked fun at her. Comedian Sarah Silverman even called her sons “the most beautiful mistakes” at an award show.

3. Her day-long marriage

We all know the expression “what happens in Vegas, stayed in Vegas”. For Britney, she ended up bringing her Vegas escapades back home with her. The media blew up and I’m sure the internet broke when news broke that Britney married her childhood friend Jason Alexander but got an annulment a day later. This is when everyone began questioning Britney and gossiping about a potential drug addiction.

2. Kissing Madonna

As per usual, when Britney’s set to performance at an award show, it’s sure to be a jawdropper. For the opening song at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, Britney, Christina Aguilera and Madonna performed “Like a Virgin”. The two former Mickey Mouse members were wearing bridal gowns and Madonna wore a black tux. When they changed songs to “Hollywood”, Madonna did the unexpected and planted a sloppy kiss on Britney (and Christina but this isn’t her moment). The best part: the camera cutting to Justin Timberlake for his reaction.

1. Shaving Her Head

Back in 2007, Britney did what was considered the norm for a major popstar: she checked into rehab. It seems she was partying too much with “bad role models” like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. Unfortunately, Britney abruptly checked out a day later. The following day, she was spotted at a Tattoo Parlour in L.A. shaving her head. Known for her long, gorgeous blonde locks, the sight of Britney bald and completely worn out shocked just about everyone.

Justin Bieber is Bing’s Most Searched Celebrity of 2011

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 28th, 2011

Although December hasn’t arrived, the search engine Bing (for those of you who don’t use Google) has unveiled it’s most searched celebrities of the year.

2011 was definitely the year of Bieber Fever as Justin comes in as the most searched person. Bing reports Kim Kardashian, who came in first last year, has now fallen in the number two spot. Jennifer Anniston is the third most searched celebrity this year.

Here is the full list from Bing:

1. Justin Bieber

2. Kim Kardashian

3. Jennifer Aniston

4. Lindsay Lohan

5. Jennifer Lopez

6. Britney Spears

7. Katy Perry

8. Megan Fox

9. Lady Gaga

10. Miley Cyrus

Having Lady Gaga on the bottom of the list is a little bit absurd. She’s had a stellar year of performances, controversies and awards. I expected her to reign at least higher than Megan Fox of all people.

It’s a bit surprising to see Jennifer Anniston beat out so many troubled headline-makers like Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears. But, I assume people were constantly curious of who Ms. Ex-Brad Pitt was dating next.

Justin Bieber appears the only male celeb on the list, while his girlfriend Selena Gomez is no where near.

Fan Bites Britney Spears’ Leg

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 16th, 2011

When Britney’s on stage, we all know she can get pretty outrageous with her lap dances. Who knew a fan would turn out to be the crazy one during one of her songs.

For her performance of “Lace & Leather” at her Brazil show, Britney invited a lucky male fan on stage for a dance. She wrapped her legs around the very excited guy and he then proceeded to bite her leg. Calm down, dude, it’s not a juicy burger!

In the video Perez Hilton posted, the guy looks like he’s never seen a female leg before. He’s hungrier than a zombie on The Walking Dead. But regardless of his weird behaviour, the princess of pop kept her focus and continued on lip-syncing the song.

Check out the video below.

Couples Who Should Get Back Together (Besides Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard)

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 2nd, 2011

As we mourn the death of Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard’s relationship, we’ve been gushing over other cute celebrity couplings that are no more. In Hollywood, it’s sort of a right of passage to date a co-star or a bandmate for publicity. Here at andPOP we believe in a thing called love and we think these couples listed below had it!

If you ask me, Justin Timberlake was Britney Spears’ silver lining. Once they went kaput it all went downhill for Britney.

Demi Lovato really bought out the best in Joe Jonas. We keep hearing rumours they’ve been spotted together again and we really hope those rumours turn into facts.

Serial dater Drew Barrymore seemed the happiest with Justin Long. They even made a movie together called Going the Distance. Here’s hoping she goes the distance for his heart again.

Va-va-voom! Jennifer Lopez and P Diddy were the quintessential hot couple back in 1999. Since the break-up they have both dated down.

Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody were the best thing about The O.C. When the co-stars broke up at least fans still got to see their characters in a loving relationship (eventually they got married on the show). Ah, if only real life reflected fictional life.

Some of you may think Brad belongs to Angelina but to me, he looks like a totally whipped and unhappy husband with 395349836 children to take care of. With Jennifer, Brad was so cool, calm and collected and was she.

Rachel McAdams and Gosling were the perfect couple. They never failed to show their love for one another, even in public. Plus, they made The Notebook what it is today. Even though they’re dating different people now, I still think they’re soul mates.

Britney Spears Gives Joe Jonas A Lap Dance

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 1st, 2011

Joe Jonas gets what every teenage boy has been dreaming of – a lap dance from the bets lip-syncer of all time, Britney Spears.

While performing at the Wembley Arena in London, Britney pulled opening act Joe Jonas on to the stage and she danced for him during her song “Lace and Leather”. It was his last show on Britney’s tour and she really wanted to give him one last hurrah.

To his 3 million Twitter followers, he wrote: “What a great night! LONDON! you rule! what a way to end the @britneyspears tour. And.. @britneyspears thanks for the strip tease.. ;)

The two definitely have chemistry, regardless of the age gap. I wonder what Britney’s boyfriend Jason has to say about this. Watch the racey video a fan posted below.

Britney Spears’ Diva Demands in London

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 1st, 2011

While the Femme Fetale is touring the U.K., she’s been requesting some strange things for her dressing room.

Perez Hilton says a source close to Britney revealed she won’t go on stage unless she has the following things backstage:

- a photo of Princess Diana

- a portion of fish & chips

- 100 figs and prunes (if you send her 99 you’re so fired)

- Toothpaste (no toothbush?)

- McDonalds cheeseburgers, minus the bread rolls (guess she has enough rolls)

Britney’s been in the business for years – decades, even! She can surely get away with all these crazy demands. But no one will ever top Jennifer Lopez in the “diva demands” category. Remember when she once demanded her dressing room to be ALL white; white table, white sofa, white lamp and even white doves flying around. Here’s hoping the divas tip their staff well.

Top 5 Best Britney Spears Music Videos

Posted by Natalia Buia on October 18th, 2011

Brit’s latest video for Criminal is the talk of the town today. Here at andPOP, we love it! Whether you’re a loyal Britney fan or a closeted fanatic, there’s no denying she knows how to work a camera. I’ve seen every Britney Spears video and so now, let me share my five favourites. Agree or disagree? Let me know!

5. Sometimes – This video is more than a decade old! It’s great to see Britney back in the day when she was young, innocent and pure.

4. Oops! I Did It Again - We don’t get many opportunities to see Britney prance around in red leather. So, when we do, we treasure the hell out of it!

3. Stronger – Yowzer, If this is what Britney can do with a chair, what else can she do with an actual human?

2. Toxic – While the storyline is a cheesy ripoff of Alias, starring Jennifer Garner, the nude diamond outfit takes the cake!

1. I’m a Slave 4 U – From the dance moves to the wardrobe and make up, I almost feel dirty watching this. Best part: the licking scene. Luckiest dude in the world, no?

Britney Spears Premieres New Music Video “Criminal”

Posted by Natalia Buia on October 18th, 2011

“Can you try smiling just once? It’s embarrassing, you look like a fool!”

This is the opening line to Brit Brit’s new music video for Criminal. She’s first seen looking all prim and proper like Audrey Hepburn but with the saddest look on her face. We’re used to seeing Britney smiling from ear to ear, swinging from hip to hip in her other music videos. This is a whole new look for her but she’s definitely not a fool, contrary to what the male lead says in the beginning.

The video, directed by Chris Marrs Piliero – the same dude that made the Black Keys’ vid for Tighten Up –  kicks up a notch a few minutes later once the song begins. A mysterious man (played by her real life boyfriend Jason Trawick) rescues her from her abusive lover and they run off via motorcycle nto a whole new world of crime.

Like Womanizer and Slave 4 U she gets down and dirty (and naked!) pretty quick. Half way through the video it’s looking more like a soft core flick you’d see on Showtime on a Friday night. Kudos to Britney for looking smokin’ and the director gets a nod for making the vid look visually stunning. The only downside is Britney’s cheesy dance moves with her hands. Less hands, more, well, you know what.

Check out the Criminal video below.

Britney Spears Looking For Homeless ‘Fan’

Posted by andPOP Staff on October 4th, 2011

Britney Spears is searching for a homeless man who wants Britney’s new album. Britney came across a picture of the man holding a sign saying he needs cash to buy her latest CD.

“Need to get new Britney Spears CD. Anything will help. God bless”.

Now Spears has posted the picture of the man on micro-blogging site Twitter and asked fans to try and locate the man, reports contactmusic.

“If anyone can find this gentleman I’ve got a package with my entire catalog (sic) with his name on it… -Britney, ” the 29-year-old posted.

Britney – are you serious? The homeless guy is obviously trying to be funny. Besides, what is he going to play your music on? We don’t think he owns a stereo or an iPod.

Britney Spears Gives Pauly D Some Action

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 12th, 2011

The Situation gets endorsement deals, and Pauly D gets free lap dances. Seems kind of fair. Britney Spears gave Pauly a free lap dance during her show in Montreal last night.

Pauly was obviously intimated and embarrassed, but undoubtedly he had a good time.

“Wow Got On Stage With@britneySpears And She Gave Me A Lap Dance !!!!! #DJPaulyDSwagg” he tweeted along with the picture.
