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.

Drake sat down with MTV News recently to talk about his SNL appearance. During the interview, Drake revealed that he wants to relaunch his acting career.
“I’m eager to act. I’m eager to make people laugh or, you know, accept a dramatic role. I’m just excited to get back into that. I miss it,” he shared, crediting the “SNL” cast and atmosphere as even more reasons behind his yearning for film.
He also has the help of the William Morris Agency to get his acting career going.
“We’re just building up our relationship, so I’m excited to get back into it. I found a home and I feel very proud of where I’m at and I’m excited to move forward and start getting back out there, man,” he admitted. “Whatever projects there are available, I’m down.”
Below is a clip from Drake’s start on Degrassi The Next Generation. Do you think he can act?
Paris Hilton is going through a career change given the most recent failure of her reality show. So now she is becoming a DJ.
TMZ reports Paris has been travelling the world to shadow the world’s greatest DJs, like Afrojack and Deadmau5. She apparently plans to become the most powerful female DJ in the world.
One source extremely close to the heiress tells TMZ, Hilton believes she can become the “Queen of house music” — because “no woman has ever taken over in that arena … and she wants to become that person.”
She hopes to have an album before the end of the year. Doesn’t Paris realize music isn’t her thing? Does she forget her last attempt at music? See below:
If 50 Cent is going to expand into movies, why can’t Rihanna? Rihanna has been cast in her first feature film role.
Rihanna will be appearing in Battleship, a film adaptation of the popular board game. She plays a tough Navy sailor who helps protect the world from invading aliens.
“We worked with real military people, you know, people in the Navy, people who have fought in Iraq before,” she told UGO.com in a long interview about the film. “They pretty much came and drilled me. This one man, Donald, he pretty much drilled me, yelled at me, cursed me, ‘Ow!’ Made me do pushups.”
However, Rihanna stayed with the training.
“I really want to say, ‘F*ck you’ right back, but then he probably would have thrown me through the window!” she joked. “I was so scared I just stood there and looked at him like, ‘I swear I’m going to get it right, I swear, I swear, I swear I’ll be good.’”
It seems like an unlikely lunch date, but we have photo evidence that Goldie Hawn had lunch with 50 Cent.
50 posted a picture of him and Goldie during their lunch yesterday. With the pic he said, “I had lunch with Goldie Hawn she is complete sweetheart.”
The Urban Daily’s theory on this lunch was 50′s desire to grow his acting career. 50 has made it clear he wants to take acting seriously, and who better to advise him then Hollywood royalty like Goldie Hawn.
Tila Tequila is back, and she has new music. The former reality TV star has a new track called, “You Can Dance.”
“I think that there’s still that group that knew that before ‘Shot of Love,’ they knew I did music first. So I am not looked at like Heidi Montag, etc. who did reality first and now are trying music,” Tequila tells The Huffington Post. “I think the Kardashians know what they are doing. I think that’s why they are so successful and they know that in order to live this lifestyle, you cannot have a real life. You have to love what you are doing and love to exploit yourself.”
And would Tequila do reality TV again?
“No amount of money or fame could ever get me to do that again because I was so unhappy,” Tequila explained.
So Justin Timberlake isn’t quitting music. He’s just unsure if he’s going to put out another album, let alone put songs together.
Right…
In an interview with Playboy Magazine, the popstar turned movie actor opened up about his life and career. Now that he’s scored big movie roles in films such as “The Social Network”, “Bad Teacher” and upcoming film “Friends with Benefits”, Timberlake says he doesn’t have the time or passion to commit full time to music.
“You go through these spurts when you miss it. In a perfect world I’d love to be able to involve myself in music and films as they come and go. But I’m always writing music, always thinking about ideas for songs,” he told the magazine.
However, that doesn’t mean there’s going to be a Justin Timberlake song to buy anytime soon.
“I don’t have a single song ready to go. People keep asking me when a new song or album is coming out, and I don’t know what to say,” he said.
“Music is not my focus right now. It may be someday. It could happen next month or next year, but right now it’s not where it’s at for me.”
Seeing that Timberlake got his start with “The Mickey Mouse Club” as well as boy band ‘N Sync, I can see how he has lost a bit of passion for music after doing it for so long.
But since I haven’t been much a fan of Timberlake’s acting…I really have missed his music. I hope he finds the passion and commitment to release a new album or single in the near future.
It appears that ‘American Idol’ judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez have succeeded the most out of the singing show, reports Canoe Jam.
Yep, that’s right. Although Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina have both begun their budding careers, it seems as though the two judges have had the ultimate career revival.
While McCreery and Alaina’s singles have both failed to debut in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Tyler and Lopez have seen a respectable spike in their cool-factor.

Let’s take a look back. Before ‘Idol,’ Lopez had parted ways with her longtime label Epic Records and hadn’t had a Top 10 hit since 2003. Tyler had spent a good portion of the previous decade in and out of rehab and feuding with his bandmates, who hadn’t put out a CD since 2004.
Now, because of ‘Idol,’ Lopez debuted her ‘On the Floor’ video and performed it live on the show, which lead to a club smash on the top of the charts.
Tyler used his fame for different leverages, though, using the Idol platform to debut the first solo single of his career as well as selling his new memoir, ‘Does The Noise in My Head Bother You?,’ which became a New York Times best seller.
This was definitely a smart career move on their part. It seems as though today’s reality shows are more about reviving the judges’ careers than the hopefuls on the show (The Voice = Christina Aguilera, X-Factor = Paula Abdul, notice a trend?)
Demi Lovato has reached out to Catherine Zeta Jones via Twitter, after the star announced she was entering a rehab facility for her Bipolar II disorder.
Lovato, who also entered a rehab facility this year for an eating disorder, tweeted “I don’t know Catherine Zeta-Jones personally but what she has decided to do it SO brave.. And SO difficult but worth it… I’m proud of her.”
Jones’ publicist announced earlier this week that “after dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the decision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay to treat her Bipolar II disorder. She’s feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on her two upcoming films.”
It’s a fresh change to see younger starlets reach out to older stars – something you don’t see very often. I commend Jones for being so public with her disorder, it’s definitely nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. I just feel bad for her, from her husband Michael Douglas going through cancer to now dealing with this, she hasn’t had a great year. Jones is a fabulous actress and a respected member of the film scene though, so I’m sure she’ll bounce back in no time.
Lindsay Lohan is apparently thinking of dropping her last name, reports PopEater.com.
“Lindsay is dropping the Lohan and just going by Lindsay,” Dina, Lindsay’s mother, told PopEater. “Plus, me and [younger daughter] Ali will be officially changing our last names back to my maiden name, Sullivan.”
Apparently, the Lohan family wants nothing to do with crazy-media-seeker father Michael, so they are all changing there name. So will Lindsay be joining Oprah, Cher, and Jesus?
“So many of the greatest people in showbiz are known by just their first name. Look at Oprah and Beyonce. Now you can add Lindsay to that list,” a family friend told PopEater. “And it’s a way for them all to start over. No one in the family want anything to do with Lindsay’s father [Michael Lohan] anymore and that includes sharing a last name.”
Although I could see why they want to do this, not everyone thinks it’s a good idea. ”I don’t think it’s a smart move,” brand strategist Kaira Akita told E Online. ”She’s been in a position as a celebrity [where it has appeared as if] she’s kind of beat the system, so the idea of her going with a one-name moniker makes it appear as if she’s higher above us.”
I mean, I know the Lohan name doesn’t exactly embody a positive and joyous nature, but this is a little extreme. On one hand, I see why she wants to change it. She wants to start over and distance herself from this crazy Lohan stereotype. But at the same time, do you think you’ll ever bounce back as an actress with the name “Lindsay”? I see Lilo being a good one-namer, but not Lindsay.
But if it makes Lindsay happy, then so be it. All I want for her is to move on with her life and start over. No one can deny that she is a great actress, so we’ll just have to wait and see where this goes.
In investing there is the concept of R.O.I. – Return On Investment. If you spend $2 Million on a singing career and have nothing to show for it except embarrassment, that’s a poor R.O.I. Which now leads us to Heidi Montag.
RadarOnline reports the former reality star invested $2 Million in her singing career, but of course that was a flop. ”I spent $2 million on my music career, and it didn’t happen for me, and now I have this opportunity,” Montag said.
However thanks to her husband Spencer Pratt, she has a second chance.
“Spencer is going into the studio with Waka Flocka Flame, and I requested that his mother Deb Antney meet with me and manage me, because she is just fabulous,” she said. Antney currently works with top stars, including Nicki Minaj and Gucci Mane, through her Atlanta-based company, Mizay Entertainment.
“I’ve never been able to be the true Heidi, and now that I am not working on ‘The Hills,’ I can really focus on this.”
Fantastic and good on her for taking a second run at the whole singing thing. Besides, it can’t be any worse than this:
Maybe this will make Montana Fishburne’s dad Laurence Fishburne proud? TMZ has learned Montana has done a nude “photo test” for Playboy.
Apparently the test has Montana going completely full frontal nude. However keep in mind Playboy is artistic, so maybe Laurence won’t mind this as much as her porn video, which she completely gets hammered out by a huge dude.
Montana good luck with Playboy. You certainly need the money as its unlikely you’re on Daddy’s payroll anymore!
Things are certainly going right for teen sensation Justin Bieber. He has the #1 album in the country, every teenage girl loves him, and he has amassed a huge online following. However what would have happened if Usher hadn’t found the Canadian singer in Stratford, Ontario? Bieber says he would have become a car mechanic.
“I always wanted to be a car mechanic,” the 16-year-old told Jay Leno on Thursday’s edition of “The Tonight Show.” And Justin can actually drive a car, having hit the legal driving age last month. “I got a Range Rover,” he said. “It’s my first car. I don’t want to get too flashy.”
Bieber also explains how he was discovered by Usher.
Joe Jonas has hinted that he may be breaking away from the Jonas Brothers to pursue some solo projects, reports Perez Hilton. He said he has been writing some new music, but did not reveal if it is for the band or another project.
He has said he’s interested in doing more movies. “I’m looking forward to doing more acting. I know everybody says this, but I want to be able to do everything. I won’t be satisfied until I’m ready to do every kind of role – from a villain to a comedian.”
Last year, actor Joaquin Phoenix claimed he would retire from acting. Now he says he’s an aspiring rapper, but is it all a hoax? Not according to Phoenix’s rep.
“The transition from one career to another is never seamless. It should come as no surprise to anyone that Joaquin came from a musical family, in addition to winning a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Johnny Cash,” the actors rep Susan Patricola wrote in an email to MTV News. “He intends on exploring his musical interests despite speculative, negative or positive reactions.”
But according to a source, the “Walk The Line” actor’s rap career is nothing but a hoax, “He said, ‘It’s a put-on. I’m going to pretend to have a meltdown and change careers, and Casey is going to film it,’” said the source to Entertainment Weekly.
It has been reported that Casey Affleck is making a documentary of the actor’s transition to a career in music. Affleck was spotted at Phoenix’s debut performance on January 16 in Las Vegas.
