When The Kooks are in the studio they’re focused and most importantly, sober. Watch Hugh and Luke explain their reasoning below.

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.

The outrageous pop singer joined forces with acclaimed country band Sugarland last night.
Gaga had the opportunity to open and close the Grammy Awards nominations concert, held at the Nokia Theatre in L.A.
The singer sat by the piano, in her typically dark clothes and makeup as the more laid band country duo, Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush, played guitar. The three artists on stage sang Gaga’s “You and I”, which already has a bit of country twang to it.
Half way through the song, Gaga yelled “everybody put your drinks up!” to liven up the crowd. Lead singer of Sugarland, Jennifer Nettles looked really happy to be collaborating with an artist so opposite of her. As much as pop suits this mother monster, Lady Gaga could totally have a seperare career in country music if she really wanted to. Trust.
Check out their performance below.

Kanye West leads with seven nominations and Adele comes in second place with six. I wouldn’t be surprised if she wins them all! For a look at all the nominees, go to the official Grammy website.
Despite her not-so-noteworthy performance at the Academy Awards, E! Online reports that many record labels have been trying to court this blonde into signing a record deal of her own, following in hubby Chris Martin’s musical footsteps. I don’t know about you guys, but I’d love for her to put out an album!
The most recent rumour of them all is that Gwyneth Paltrow has signed a $900,000 record deal with Atlantic Records to create an album that the New York Post classified as “country pop”. I hate to burst your bubbles – well, I mostly hate to burst mine – but E! Online has said that this statement is false, and that Paltrow has not yet closed any deals with a record company.
Thanks a lot, New York Post, for getting my hopes up!
But apparently there is still hope – E! Online goes on to say that it is not a matter of “if” Paltrow will actually sign with a record company, but “when.”
Paltrow has previously showed off her singing chops in the the fail-of-a-movie, “Country Strong,” and has appeared on two episodes of “Glee,” in outstanding performances as substitute teacher Holly Holliday, along with live performances at the Grammy Awards, where she joining Cee Lo Green on-stage for a slightly Sesame Street-rendition of “Forget You”, and the Oscars, where she performed the nominated song “Coming Home” from “Country Strong.” (To set the record straight, the soundtracks weren’t a fail, just the movie.)
So get to work on that recording contract Gwyneth, because there are a lot of eager Team Paltrows waiting for it! And if your “Glee” co-star Matthew Morrison can do it, so can you!
Last night on “The Late Show”, David Letterman issued an apology to Lindsay Lohan for a hoax that caused him to believe that Lohan was going to do tomorrow’s “Top Ten” list.
As reported by Gossipcop.com, after Sunday’s Grammy Awards Letterman joked about “Lohan stealing a Grammy award,” which poked fun at Lohan regarding her pending trial for stealing jewelry. Afterwards he received a call from an unknown man who claimed to be Lohan’s friend saying, “Lindsay thought that joke was hilarious… She wants to be on your show.” Letterman was thrilled and called CBS’ publicity department to issue a press release.
When Lohan received the news she said that this information was false. Letterman apologized to Lohan and her family for the confusion.
Poor Lindsay, more bad press…
Oh the Grammy Awards ceremony, an award show that very little people have watched since the 1990s. However, each year the award show books the biggest musical acts to perform at the ceremony.
Last year the show featured a familiar scantily clad Lady Gaga and this year we will see Miss Katy Perry, also scantily clad. Surprised?. Perhaps the singer will tone down her sex appeal because of the controversy that her world famous cleavage caused on a Sesame Street segment (that never aired) and because she is a married woman now. Although it is doubtful that her husband, comedian Russell Brand, would stick his nose up at one of those cotton candy costumes (that are probably edible).
Due to the success of her album, “Teenage Dream,” and that damn catchy title track that I can’t seem to get out of my head, it seems that Perry is the perfect choice to perform at the Grammy’s. The singer has also been nominated in four categories.
It should be a good night for Perry and all of her fans, including the Sesame Street producers, we know you wanted her to wear that costume.
The Grammy’s will air on February 13.
The results are in! Last night, the music industry celebrated artist’s achievements at the 2010 Grammy Awards.
Miss the show? Check out the list of winners below, courtesy of the Grammy website.
Record of the Year – Use Somebody, Kings of Leon
Album of the Year – Fearless, Taylor Swift
Song of the Year – Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it), Beyonce
Best New Artist – Zac Brown Band
Best Female Pop Vocal Performance – Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it), Beyonce
Best Male Pop Vocal Performance – Make it Mine, Jason Mraz
Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals – I Gotta Feeling, Black Eyed Peas
Ever since her skyrocket to pop royalty, Lady Gaga has been living a whirlwind life – and it seems to finally have caught up with her. According to rollingstone.com, Gaga was supposed to play a concert in Indiana last Thursday, but cancelled at the last minute when she collapsed backstage.
After opening acts Semi Precious Weapons and Jason DeRulo performed at Purdue University’s Elliott Hall of Music, the crowd was told that “Lady Gag will not be able to take the stage this evening due to sudden illness.”
“Due to exhaustion and dehydration, Lady Gaga collapsed and passed out before her show tonight in West Lafayette, Indiana,” the pop singer’s publicist told Rolling Stone. “Her physician has advised her to take a few days off to rest.” It was not specified exactly how long Gaga will be off the stage, but the Indiana show has been rescheduled for Jan. 26.
Gaga’s shows on the 16 in New Jersey and the 17 in Wallingford, Connecticut have been cancelled. Her Uncasville, Connecticut show on the 18 was postponed. However, her four-night gig at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, starting on Jan. 20 (tomorrow), are still said to be going ahead as planned.
Beyonce is taking a little break reports USA Today. After an amazing 2009 in which she performed at President Obama’s inauguration, collaborated with Alicia Keys, an amazing tour and other notable events, Beyonce has said she needs some R&R.
After she performs at the Grammy Awards on January 31, she plans to do a whole lot of nothing. “I’ve always worked hard, but I feel like I worked harder this past year than I have since I was just starting out. I just had all these great opportunities. … It’s definitely time to take a break, to recharge my batteries,” the singer told USA Today. “I’d like to take about six months and not go into the studio. I need to just live life, to be inspired by things again.”
It’s not over until the Gaga Lady sings.
Since Lady Gaga has swept the musical world with her kooky costumes and buggy eyes, it’s no shock that she has been announced to perform at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards. Among Gaga, other artists who the Grammys announced will be performing at the Staples Center in Los Angeles include Green Day, Dave Matthews Band, Pink and the Zac Brown Band, reports rollingstone.com.
The new announcement of artists adds to an already stacked line-up including the likes of Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Maxwell, the Black Eyed Peas, and Lady Antebellum.
With the addition of the new performers, the Grammy’s have promised that all five artists nominated for the Album of the Year award will perform at the show. Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and the Black Eyed Peas all received nominations in this category. The Dave Matthews Band appearance has been speculated ever since the band was chosen for the MusiCares Person of the Year tribute to Neil Young over the Grammy weekend.
Another andPOP video and another Grammy Nominee (and a deserving one at that). They have been on the hustle going on 7 years, and 2009 was definitely the year they broke out. Everyone at andPOP loves them and we think you should too. If you have never heard of them, prepare to be amazed!
It’s been 13 years since All-4-One’s peak popularity in the 1990′s- winning at the 1995 Grammy Awards and having their hit single I Swear certified by the ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) as one of the greatest love songs of the 20th century.
But now on the verge of resurfacing to the music industry and releasing their most successfully expected album to-date No Regrets on September 15, the four-man R&B band is ready to bring back a piece of work that caters to all.
“This record is a lot more exciting,” singer Jamie Jones tells andPOP. “We had a ton more leeway in the production and the writing, and just having the opportunity to make the record we wanted to make.”
“When we we’re making it, we agreed that regardless of the reception, we’re proud of it, and we’re happy with this body of work.”
