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.
Marina and The Diamonds are working on some new music, but Marina is being very secretive about it. Although the release has been delayed, she let’s us in on some secrets about the new album, and how alcohol changed her life.
The London riots have spread to the Winehouse residence. Rioters broke into Amy’s house and stole some of her personal belongings.
Amy’s father, understandably upset, said the thieves stole unreleased music, lyric books and letters belonging to Winehouse.
The Sun reports only two lyric books were reported stolen to the police. But other items are missing including guitars and lyrics penned for her third album.
Hopefully the thieves who stole these items are dumb enough to place it on Craigslist. At least that will make them easy to catch.
Adele is back on tour after battling laryngitis for three months. She picked up her tour last night in Vancouver.
She opened up the show by playing “Hometown Glory,” which was dedicated to her hometown Tottenham. The town is under attack by rioters, along with the rest of London.
She told the crowd, “I have to sing this one for my hometown. London is under attack by a bunch of idiots.”
Celebrities took to Twitter to share their concern and support for London as riots continue throughout the city. The Huffington Post complied an extensive list of Tweets, from Justin Bieber to Jamie Oliver. Here are some of the reactions:
@piersmorgan - What is going on in Britain tonight is a form of terrorism and should be treated as such. #Riots
@MissKellyO- spent the last 3 hours trying to get hold of all my friends in london finally the last one texted me back & is home safe. i need a nap!

James McAvoy, who plays Dr. X in X-Men: First Class, has replaced fellow X-Men actor Michael Fassbender in the lead role of Danny Boyle’s next film Trance, according to a report in Variety magazine.
Trance, is a remake of a 2001 British TV drama written and directed by Joe Ahearne, who is best known for his work in Doctor Who. The film will be about an auction house employee who helps steal a painting, but then suffers amnesia and can’t remember where it is hidden.
I am a big fan of McAvoy so I am really happy about the news. Just having caught X-Men: First Class recently, I do have to say that the film was spectacular!
So hopefully…there won’t be any hard feelings between the two co-stars!!
But in other news, Boyle, who won the Academy Award for best director in 2008 for Slumdog Millionaire, is due to direct the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games!
Knowing that the task will be a big one, Boyle plans to shoot Trance before the event gets under way.
When you get recognition from John Mayer, you are doing something right. London, Ontario native Ken Yates is a student at Berklee College in Boston where he is studying music, who has received that recognition.
Within his program at Berklee, Yates had the opportunity to spend time with Mayer and get some one on one mentoring, reports OurLondon.ca.
“John Mayer went to Berklee for a year,” Yates explains. “In March he came back again for a day and I was lucky enough to be picked…to do a private Master’s class with John, which was amazing, and we got to play a song for John.”
Since then, John Mayer has promoted the song Yates played for him, “I Don’t Wanna Fall in Love.” He recently posted about the song on his website.
That’s a pretty awesome accomplishment for a guy from small town London, Ontario.
Lily Allen is moving into the fashion business and partnering with her sister Sarah Owen. The new line will focus on vintage-inspired garments, according to a report this week in Women’s Wear Daily.
The line will be called Lucy in Disguise, which is also the name of the sisters’ vintage shop located in London’s Covent Garden district. The new collection was reportedly designed with a fictional clotheshorse, named Lucy, in mind.
“(Lucy’s) a time-traveling fashionista, who’s inviting you to explore her wardrobe,” Allen explained at a press conference. “It’s a great opportunity to play with the character.”
You can see a slideshow of the line here. What are your thoughts? Is it anything you would buy?
Oh my Bieber, it’s Justin times two! 2x cuteness + 2x angel voice = sigh…
Justin Bieber’s wax double was unveiled yesterday in the London Madame Tussauds Wax Museum – and the 17-year-old couldn’t have been happier about it!
The Biebs took to Twitter during the event, embarking on a major tweet-spree expressing his excitement over the event. He tweeted:
“arrived at @tussaudslondon to see my WAX figure!! the 1st time i saw a wax figure was in nyc and all we could do was look thru the glass”
“now we are here in London and they r about to show my figure here and in amsterdam and in nyc at the one we looked thru the glass. #DREAMBIG”
“look right over there. they think we know eachother…http://plixi.com/p/84220549”
“TWINS! lolhttp://plixi.com/p/84220955”
“knew @studiomama had more kids! me and my mom and lil brohttp://plixi.com/p/84221484”
And as always, he ended with a lovely thank you to his fans:
“thanks to the fans and @TussaudsLondon for today. from staring thru the glass to being made in wax inside… #neversaynever”
Madame Tussaud clearly didn’t get the memo that Bieber cut his hair, TWICE, after the hairdo this wax-Justin is sporting. Nonetheless, the new Bieber is an almost identical double, and better brace himself for the hordes of screaming girls that will be coming to visit him over the next few months! At least he’s a little less breakable than the real one.
This wasn’t the only Bieber unveiling to go down recently. Around 275 kids filled the Bata Shoe Museum viewing room in Toronto, Ontario, on Monday, to get a glimpse of the newly-added purple high-top Supras (size seven and a half, for you crazy Beliebers who were curious) worn by none other than Bieber himself. The museum bought the sneakers at a Clothes off Our Back Charity Auction, the proceeds of which go to children’s charities.
“Only a little glass keeps me from his DNA,” 14-year-old Montana Cannon told the Toronto Star on Monday. If that’s what they say about his shoes, I wonder what girls would do if it was his hair behind that glass…
They say one person’s trash is another one’s treasure, and that is kind of the case with Amy Winehouse. Winehouse’s teenage diary was found in a London trash can which reveals an interesting side to the singer. The diary was written in 2001 when Winehouse was 17.
On a list that includes handwritten reminders to get a “treadmill” and “buy car,” the singer also wrote, “get teeth fixed.” It also says that she dreams of buying a flat in London.
Winehouse’s rep tells PEOPLE she wants them back. “Yes, they are hers,” her rep confirms. “They got thrown out by mistake and she’s in the process of getting them back now.”
She also gets a tad more personal saying “live like the bombshell I really am” and revealing feelings for a guy named Felix, by writing, “There’s too much sexual tension.”
So, do we like this vulnerable and sensitive side of Winehouse?
George Michael has been sentenced to eight weeks in jail for driving under the influence of drugs on July 4, reports TMZ. He was sentenced in a London courtroom.
The singer admitted to being high on weed and crashing his Range Rover into a photo shop.
TMZ reports the singer looked very dapper heading into the courtroom. There is no word when Michael begins his sentencing.
Crashing plates, falling rain, honking horns, chirping birds. To the average person, these are just everyday sounds. But to CJ Young, they are inspiration.
The 27-year-old musician from London, England is using his fascination with the sounds of daily life to take music in a whole new direction.
“The way I work basically is I get really hungry for new sounds,” Young told andPOP over the phone from New York, where he is currently supporting his EP, Buds. “One thing that’s really exciting me [right now] is I was in my flat a few months back and I just heard this almighty, gigantic [crashing plates] noise and it was a rich sound … I’ve got this place with a concrete floor to start smashing plates on the floor for my next project.”
The world premiere of the highly anticipated Iron Man 2, which was supposed to take place in the UK, has been cancelled and moved to Los Angeles due to the ongoing air travel issues, reports NME.com.
Big-named actors from the action sequel such as Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mickey Rourke, Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L Jackson were all due to fly to London for the event, which was supposed to be held yesterday (Monday, April 19).
Unfortunately, because of the restricted air travel due to ash clouds from the eruption of Iceland’s volcano Eyjafjallajökull, that was no longer possible.
Lady Gaga is known for her outlandish fashion sense, but her travelling getup is a hazard – literally. According The Sun, Gaga’s dress made out of black and yellow tape, was so tight that it brought on early stages of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) – a potentially deadly blood clot in a deep vein.
While on a flight from London to New York, the experienced flight crew told the star that if she did not remove the outfit fast, she would risk long-term damage. A DVT can occur without symptoms, but may be painful, swollen, red, and warm and the superficial veins may become engorged.
After only one show, Akon has quit his gig hosting a radio show at a London radio station, reports Perez Hilton. He was supposed to host a two-hour slot every Saturday, but following the February 13 premiere, a previous host took over.
“Due to Akon’s commitments, including working on a brand new album, we won’t be broadcasting a regular show on 95.8 Capital FM for the time being,” said a spokesperson for the station. “Our conversations about future shows are ongoing as we explore other opportunities that may work for both of us.”
Fashion designer Alexander McQueen was found dead this morning in his London home.
“At this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with Lee’s family,” said a statement released by his office, referring to him by his real name.
E! news reports that rumors are speculating that Mcqueen’s death could have been a suicide. Additionally Scotland Yard is not treating the death as suspicious.
The designer’s mother recently passed away and McQueen turned to Twitter to share his emotions.
It looks like the times are a-changin’ for Bob Dylan.
The timeless musician, known for his five decades of influence in the music industry, will showcase his visual art for the first time in London starting this Saturday, Febraury 13.
Even though Dylan has been making art since his early music tour in 1989, this will be the first time that his works go on display for the public.
Elly Jackson of La Roux sits way in the back of her tour bus. Quiet. Secluded. Curled up. On first glance, seemingly trying to shut out the blistering cold Toronto November day outside, and maybe even the world along with it.
But can you blame her?
As one of the United Kingdom’s most popular new artists in 2009, Jackson finds it hard to trust people these days. Her tendency to be honest and opinionated have often been taken advantage of by media haters. But the singer can’t help it, she’s always been an individual with real thoughts and feelings- a leader rather than a follower. Even back in Elementary school, the 21-year-old London-born says she was a tomboy, and always had a bit of an assertive and free-spirited tendency.
But that ability to not succumb to peer-pressure is one of the main reasons for the raving success of her debut self-titled album last June, her flooding international fan-base, and why she will keep pushing strong past the negative hurdles in her career.
“You really have to be careful in this industry,” Jackson tells andPOP in her tour bus. “Obviously it’s impossible for us to like everything. So when you can get asked your thoughts about something, and say we don’t like or agree with something, it’s like a total shock to the world.”
Rapper Jay-Z was joined onstage by rising pop phenomenon Mr. Hudson at his London show yesterday, reports nme.com.
Jay-Z is currently on tour in support of his new album, The Blueprint III, which took him to London’s Alexandra Palace last night. For the encore, Jay-Z sang a song off The Blueprint III, called “Young Forever,” which features Mr. Hudson. The singer joined Jay-Z onstage for the song.
Mr. Hudson’s appearance wasn’t the only surprise that the London audience got last night: they also found out they were going to be in a music video for the song. Jay-Z and Mr. Hudson used the crowd to film the video.
The crowd, once informed by Mr. Hudson that they were being filmed for the forthcoming promo, responded by holding lighters in the air and singing along while the artists and Jay-Z’s live band carried the song. ”Young Forever” closed off Jay-Z’s sold-out performance at the UK capital, which saw him play other hits including “Empire State of Mind,” “DOA (Death of Autotune)”, and “Izzo (H.O.V.A.).”
Amy Winehouse appeared at a London court Tuesday to plead not guilty to assaulting a fan at a party last fall.
The 25-year-old soul singer was accompanied by her dad Mitch as she arrived at City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court for a brief hearing.
She was charged with common assault in early March over allegations she attacked a fan who tried to take her picture at a charity ball in London on Sept. 26.
Christian Bale had huge success at the box office this weekend – but his personal life may be falling apart.
The “Dark Knight” star is being sued for assault by his mother and sister, reports the UK Sun. Bale is said to have lashed out at his family members on Sunday at Park Lane’s Dorchester Hotel in London.
Bale faces questioning, but police are giving him the benefit of the doubt; they even held off their investigation to allow Bale to attend the huge premier of the new Batman flick.
A source told The Sun, “It was a very difficult situation but it would have been wrong to have wrecked the premiere over a complaint which we don’t yet know is founded in truth. But Mr Bale will be contacted at the earliest opportunity and be asked to provide an account of anything that happened.”
A Met Police spokesperson confirmed they had receive the allegations from Bale’s family.
Rapper M.I.A. may be moving to Montreal when her American visa expires in June.
Because her father was once a soldier in the Sri Lankan terrorist organization Tamil Tigers, she doesn’t expect her visa to be renewed.
“Basically at the moment I can choose between Montreal and London,” she told Baby Baby Baby magzine. “My mum’s like, ‘I want you here!’ I haven’t seen her in, like, forever, so I have to choose between my mum and Montreal.”
She said that she’s been making the most of her final U.S. concerts, and that Kanye West has offered to marry her to keep her in the country.
She was previously barred entrance to the States in 2006.
