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.

Once upon a time, long before the sold out stadiums and screaming fans, little Howie D was a self-proclaimed “Dough Boy.” Apparently, his first love wasn’t music, it was Twinkies. In all fairness, Howie went on to much better things, however, for this interview the guys reminisce about some of their more embarrassing moments.
Beyonce’s “Dance For You” video goes to show what a powerhouse she is – entirely makes us forget that she’s pregnant.
The latest cut from her album 4 will be featured in the deluxe edition of B’s “Live at Roseland” DVD, which drops on Tuesday, November 29th.
“The whole time I definitely was thinking, ‘Everyone knows, everyone can see,’” said the Grammy-winner before the screening of her new concert this past Sunday in New York.
“When you’re pregnant, it’s a little bit harder to breathe, so it was hard doing all the choreography and singing at the same time,” said the 30-year-old singer in an onstage interview, who admitted it became very difficult to hide while recording the four sold-out nights in at Roseland Theatre in August.
From Destiny’s Child classics to major hits from her solo career before launching into 4 in it’s entirety. It will also include intimate interviews, home videos of rehearsals and clips of Beyonce in a wedding dress.
In this the-Dream produced cut, the sultry R&B jam has her showing her gratitude in the form of a seductive dance sequence. The black-and-white clip is reminiscent of a private-eye/detective classic that could easily be a Victoria Secret product placement.

Not only is Kelly Rowland infuriated with Matthew Knowles (Beyonce’s father), but it seems as though the ultimate punishment is having to head to Chicago on Tuesday for a lawsuit against the former Destiny’s Child group.
The lawsuit, citing copyright infringement on the hit single “Cater 2 U” is Matthew’s fault, according to Rowland. According to people.com, Rowland states that Matthew has a long history of trying to get songwriters to add Beyonce’s name to songs she didn’t compose, just so she gets publishing royalties, and not it’s coming back to haunt all three former members of the girl group.
The girls, who had remained close for several years, have distanced themselves from each other. Rowland fired Matthew as her manager earlier in 2009. A source had this to say about Beyonce and Rowland’s relationship:
“She and Beyoncé remained cordial at first. But things have gotten tense since Kelly griped that Matthew is the cause of this lawsuit.”
This reeks of familiarity. According to perezhilton.com, Beyonce was called out by Ne-Yo for her declaring that she wrote the hit Irreplaceable, and he issued a statement that said she was not involved in the lyrics and was barely involved in the accompanying music.
Former Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland performed for a packed house Thursday at Tao’s Worship in Las Vegas, reports Perez Hilton. Rowland was celebrating the finale of her Bravo series, The Fashion Show.
She hit the stage to perform her single When Loves Takes Over after partying in the VIP section of the restaurant.
Earlier this year, Rowland parted ways with her manager, Matthew Knowles, the father of her former band mate Beyonce.
During her current “I Am… Sascha Fierce” tour, singer Beyonce will not allow photographers to shoot her from behind, reports Perez Hilton.
“Beyonce’s costumes are so tiny and her choreography is so complicated that inevitably she sweats,” said an insider. “It looks pretty gross, so no one is allowed to shoot her from that particular angle anymore.”
The tour began in March and ends in November, and is the third world tour for the former Destiny’s Child member. Beyonce will perform in 87 cities across North America, Europe, Japan and Australia. The tour kicked off in Edmonton, followed by shows in Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Vancouver. She will return to Canada on July 20 and July 21 for concerts in Toronto and Montreal, respectively.
It’s not unusual for an actor to release an album, or a musician to star in movies and television. What’s rare is to do both before the age of 16. (And to be a pretty hot dancer, to boot.)
Mishon just became legal to drive in the United States, but he has already starred in three seasons of ABC’s Lincoln Heights and is releasing his second LP, The Yearbook, this fall.
With a two singles circulating the airwaves, “Excuse Me, Mama” and “Just a Kiss,” attention is flying fast and heavy at the budding triple threat. Mishon was taken under the wing of producer extraordinaire Vincent Herbert, who signed the young R&B singer to his new label Streamline Records, a joint venture with Interscope. Herbert, known for working with major pop stars such as Lady GaGa, Destiny’s Child and Toni Braxton, produced The Yearbook alongside Mishon.
Kelly Rowland has officially been appointed 2008 Ambassador for the MTV Staying Alive Foundation.
The foundation empowers young people who are working to eliminate HIV and AIDS in their communities.
“I am honoured to work with The Staying Alive Foundation in its mission to transform attitudes to HIV and AIDS around the world,” the Destiny’s Child alum commented in a press release. “The Foundation continues to recognize and reward young people whose relentless mission is to encourage, educate and empower their peers in the fight against HIV and AIDS. I am excited to be a part of this remarkable initiative and look forward to supporting Staying Alive in all its efforts to change the prevailing culture of ignorance which fosters and perpetuates this disease.”
Rowland will kick off her first solo tour and new role simultaneously, when she visits Africa in June. There she will visit tour some of the grassroots projects supported by the Foundation.
Her new album, ‘Ms Kelly Deluxe’, will be released May 12.
Mariah Carey may have led the nominations last night at the 33rd annual American Music Awards, but the real winners were Destiny?s Child, Tim McGraw, Kelly Clarkson, the Black Eyed Peas, and Green Day, each of whom walked away with two awards apiece. Even though Carey had four nods, she ended up with only one statuette for Favorite Female Artist in the Soul/R&B category.

After announcing their retirement in June, Destiny?s Child has at last taken their final bows. The superstar trio gave what was billed their last performance yesterday on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The late-night show host handed over the entire hour to the chart-topping R&B group as they performed both indoors and outdoors in front of 1,000 lucky fans. Radio contest winners were flown in from across the United States to witness Beyonce Knowles, Michelle Williams, and Kelly Rowland sing their hits “Survivor,” and their new single, ?Stand Up for Love? for the last time.
However, mourning fans shouldn?t rule out a future reunion. Asked by Kimmel if the split would be permanent, Rowland replied, “You never know.?
Rowland added that the group is parting amicably. ?I think the most beautiful thing is that we’re not parting because there were problems,? she said. ?We’re parting because we’re celebrating each others’ growth.”
Destiny?s Child released a greatest hits album, #1?s, earlier this month. It shot to the top of the Billboard 200 chart in its first week of sales.
After their current world tour, Destiny’s Child will split up.
According to their record label, the trio will pursue solo careers after playing shows in North America this summer.
News broke Sunday night when MTV reported that Kelly Rowland announced to an audience in Spain on Saturday that this would be their last European appearance together.
“Thanking their fans for years of love and support, Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams announced that they would be retiring as Destiny’s Child and moving forward to pursue personal goals and individual careers in music, theater, television and film,” a statement from their label said.
“As a group, we’ve been blessed with success and the greatest fans in the world,” the group said collectively. “We have been working together as Destiny’s Child since we were nine, and touring together since we were fourteen. After a lot of discussion and some deep soul searching, we realized that our current tour has given us the opportunity to leave Destiny’s Child on a high note, united in our friendship and filled with an overwhelming gratitude for our music, our fans, and each other. After all these wonderful years working together, we realized that now is the time to pursue our personal goals and solo efforts in earnest. This is a time of natural growth for all of us. No matter what happens, we will always love each other as friends and sisters and will always support each other as artists. We want to thank all of our fans for their incredible love and support and hope to see you all again as we continue fulfilling our destinies.”
Their North American tour begins July 9 in St. Louis. Vancouver will be the site of Destiny’s child’s last concert, slated for September 10. The “Destiny Fulfilled…And Lovin’ It” tour will feature Mario, Amerie and Tyra as openers.
Following 2001′s “Survivor” album, the group went on a 3-year hiatus. Each member pursued solo careers, but Knowles became such a huge star that many wondered if she’d return to the group. When she did, the question became how long she’d stay with the group.
Rowland and Williams each released successful albums, but not nearly as successful as Knowles’ “Dangerously in Love.”
Beyonce, featuring Kelly and Michelle… ok we’ll give them some respect.
Destiny’s Child (better? we bolded it) have released dates for their upcoming North American tour.
The trio will tour together for the first time in four years.
The “Destiny Fulfilled … And Lovin’ It Tour” (can you take a guess who is sponsoring it? You’re wrong if you guessed Burger King) will begin July 9 and will end two months later on September 10 in Vancouver.

Will Solange Knowles join Destiny’s Child? Matthew Knowles said yes. Beyonce says no.
Beyonce tells MTV that the group will remain a trio, despite claims by her father and the group’s manager, Matthew, that her sister, Solange, might be joining the group.
“The Solange rumour is definitely a rumour,” Beyonce said. “She’s not going to be a member of Destiny’s Child.”
She said the group will record in the new year.
“We’ve all grown so much … it’s going to be incredible. Hopefully, we’ll own next summer.”
