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.

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.

Selena Gomez was on Baltimore radio station Z104.3, and she talked about why so many Justin Bieber fans hate her.
“It’s a little odd, but I understand it completely,” she admitted. “It’s amazing to me to see how many passionate fans there are. So obviously, you’ve just got to think of the fans first, and that’s OK.”
Selena also said it’s “kind of” annoying that she and Bieber can’t share the same fans, but said it’s “kind of cool we have our own individual [fans].”
Why do you think so many Bieber fans hate Selena so much?
Rihanna tells British Vogue that she isn’t a role model. She insists her act is just entertainment for her fans.
“That’s not me. That’s a part I play. You know, like it’s a piece of art, with all these toys and textures to play with,” she tells the magazine. “See, people … they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me, and [being a role model] became more of my job than I wanted it to be. But no, I just want to make music. That’s it.”
She also believes the struggles of her youth made her a stronger person today.
“I saw too much. I was way too mature for my age,” she says. “Look, God doesn’t give any more than you can handle. I had to get through a lot of ups and downs — big downs — and a lot of trial and error to get where I am now.”
Joe Jonas talks about his amazingly loyal and awesome fans, and he also talks about going out solo without his fans.

Subscribe to catch the rest of the interview where we talk about the band’s hiatus, playing the harp and Evanescence’s legion of fans.
Lady Gaga really is a courteous celebrity who cares about her fans. She is so appreciative of them that Gaga sprung for some McDonald’s.
Gaga was getting ready at the Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont Hotel to perform on Jimmy Kimmel. Fans flocked to the venue once they heard who was inside. When Gaga heard about the crowd gathering outside, she bought them all some fast food.
Afterwards, she sent down a note saying:
“Dear little monsters. Thank you for singing to me all day and night. I love you with all my heart.
“You make everyday worth living. Kisses to the cops for keeping you safe. Love Lady Gaga.”‘
That was really nice of Gaga, but did she have to buy McDonald’s? Not exactly a healthy meal. Perhaps a nice fruit plate would have been better? Or some sushi? She can afford it.
Hmm…looks like the Black Eyed Peas will need to redeem themselves from their fans in New York.
After waiting in sweltering heat for six hours and then two more in the rain, fans waiting for the group were then told the Black Eyed Peas concert in Central Park was simply not going to happen.
“What, Will.I.Am can’t play in the rain? Is Fergie‘s hair gonna get wet,” said Queens resident Brian Moriarty, 26, who lined up with his girlfriend at 3 p.m. hoping to get a prime general admission spot close to the stage.
The pre-show festivities with performances by Taylor Swift, Carole King and Tony Bennet were scheduled to start at 5 but were delayed due to the bad weather, leaving several fans stranded in the heat.
While gates finally opened to concert-goers at 7:45, the police department announced they were shutting everything down due to lightning right after fans had settled into the park.
“We won’t go,” chanted the crowd of some 20,000 New Yorkers (of the 60,000 originally scheduled to attend the performance meant to benefit the Robin Hood Foundation).
And many of them did not. Police had to close in on groups who believed that by squatting in the meadow, they would be treated to the Peas’ musical stylings.
“The heat wasn’t going to stop them, the rain wasn’t going to stop them, but the lightning-it stopped them. It came down to safety for everyone,” according to a statement from the Robin Hood Foundation.
The foundation hopes to reschedule another concert soon, and will provide more information “in the next week or so.”
While BEP can’t control weather, the canceled concert has left a lot of angry fans following a not-so-great performance at the Super Bowl earlier in the year.
With Anti-BEP comments running on Twitter on Thursday night, some haters called it an act of God. But according to band member Taboo from a tweet, Fergie was really upset about the cancellation.
Hopefully, BEP will find a way to please their fans again.
And this time, please no more covers from Guns N’ Roses.
Eva Longoria is learning sign language, reports CTV.
The ‘Desperate Housewives’ star, who just released her cook book ‘Eva’s Kitchen,’ is apparently learning sign language so she can communicate with her deaf fans.
Speaking at the 9th Annual GLAD Benefit Extravaganza, which was held in support of the deaf, Longoria said:
“I’ve had a lot of deaf people who have bought my book and I’ve been able to talk to them about what my favourite recipe is and what to cook.”
Because of personal experiences within her own family, the actress says she is is prepared to help people from deprived social groups and commit herself to various charities.
“I come from a diverse background of people with special needs, because of my sister, so I’m happy to bring my voice to this cause.”
Longoria’s sister, Elizabeth, has Down’s Syndrome and her parents are of Mexican descent. Longoria has had to deal with both discrimination against disabilities and minority groups.
“I always think it’s important to bring awareness to minority or a minority population and whether you’re Latino or black or a woman or deaf, it still falls into that category of needing support from people who aren’t normally around this type of population,” she tells Hollyscoop.
What a heart of gold. I love the activism and charity efforts that Longoria often engages in. She’s always been my favourite ‘Housewife,’ but now I have even more reason to love her.
OneRepublic and rapper B.O.B have collaborated for a new remix of the band’s single ‘Good Life.’ The track is streaming online now.
OneRepublic have also just launched a new online scrapbook to keep up with their fans. Fans who tweet a photo of themselves living the good life, along with the #goodlife hashtag, will automatically be featured in the album on the band’s official website, OneRepublic.net.
‘Good Life’ is the latest single from the band’s album ‘Waking Up,’ which is now available on iTunes.
Allstar Weekend is easily one of the most down to earth bands I’ve ever interviewed. And that’s a lot coming from me.
I met the band at The Sutton Place Hotel, which, if you know the selection of luxury hotels in Toronto, is a modest choice. Not too fancy. Pretty low key.
The band just finished a show last night at the Sound Academy, one of the last legs of their Canadian tour before heading up to London, ON. I ask how it went.
“It was really awesome seeing how many kids came out,” says Zachary, the lead singer and guitarist. “Toronto just seems like a cool city for bands, all the kids are really into it which is really exciting for us. We can’t wait to come back.”
“Fans here know our lyrics more than in America, it’s crazy. They know all the words,” says Cameron, the bassist.
Leave it to us crazy Canadians to leave an impression on them. The band also paid a visit to the MuchMusic studios a day earlier, which was of course, met with a sold out audience.
So between sold out television appearances and a passionate, driven fan base, how does the band prepare themselves for their shows?
“I like to light a bunch of candles, sit in a dark room. I’ll put on the Spice Girls,” says Nathan, the guitarist.
Beyoncé has revealed the name of her upcoming album: “4.”
In an exclusive interview with Billboard, the music star says that the album’s title was inspired by her fans.
“Everywhere I look, I see them calling it ’4,’” she explains. “I had a whole other name and concept, but I keep seeing that the fans love the name ’4,’ and I think it would be a really nice thing to let them name the record.”
The number four also holds personal significance for Beyoncé, and not just because her latest studio album will be her fourth as a solo artist. “We all have special numbers in our lives, and 4 is that for me,” she says. “It’s the day I was born. My mother’s birthday, and a lot of my friends’ birthdays, are on the fourth; April 4 is my wedding date.”
Beyoncé, who will also be honored with the Billboard Millennium Award at the Billboard Music Awards on May 22, says that her early inspiration for the album came from Afrobeat music pioneer Fela Kuti.
“I recorded more than 60 songs: everything I ever wanted to try, I just did it. I started off being inspired by Fela Kuti. I actually worked with the band from “Fela!” [the hit Broadway musical based on his life] for a couple of days…what I learned most from Fela was artistic freedom: he just felt the spirit.”
Beyonce’s albums always bring-it to the table, so I’m excited for it. Her songs just have a universal appeal that gets everyone moving, so I have a feeling it will also be a huge success. The album is slated for a June release.
The original Wizard of Waverly Place can’t magic her way out of this one!
Selena Gomez is absolutely terrified of Justin Bieber fans after receiving so many death threats from the jealous mob of preteens! Perez Hilton reports that the Biebs has tried to soothe his girlfriend but she’s still worried for her safety.
Bieber, you’re king of twitter! A public tweet condemning fans that threaten other people’s lives would probably do the trick!
Selena’s newest single, “Who Says,” is supposedly in retaliation to all the ‘haters’ the Disney star has had the misfortune of recently acquiring.
Go Selena! Fight off those haters and ride on a white horse into the sunset with the Biebs by your side!

Chris Brown is going downhill and has taken desperate measures. According to MTV News, after Brown’s dwindling sales from his new album, Graffiti, he has issued a message to his fans this week. The message asked to help revive his music career since he pleaded guilty to felony assault on Rihanna last year.
SayNow.com is a site that allows people to share recorded messages. Brown allegedly said it is hard to promote his new album since radio stations are not playing his songs. In an earlier message, he asked fans to keep in touch with him while on tour by dialing a special 877 number.
A spokeperson for the 20-year-old singer did not respond to MTV News’ request for comment, nor had confirmed the messages are definitely Brown.
American Idol winner David Cook has pleaded for privacy during his tour after problems with some die heart fans. “The efforts by some fans to find our hotel rooms, call our hotel rooms, attach things to our bus, etc., is something I have to condemn,” he wrote in his MySpace Celebrity Blog. The 26 year old expressed that although he loves his fans, he does need a certain amount of privacy.
Miley Cyrus kept her clothes on and thanked her fans Saturday night.
The “Hannah Montana” star performed at a Disney-sponsored concert in Orlando—her first performance since last week’s overwhelming response regarding an image from her Vanity Fair photo shoot. The controversial photo shows the young starlet wrapped in a sheet with her back exposed.
“First of all I think all of us here can say thank you,” she said before beginning her set. “I can’t think of how many would stand in the rain to come in here. Thank you all for coming out tonight, you’re all amazing.”
Cyrus did not make any reference about the photo during her performance.
