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.
Even since repeatedly pestering that poor DJ to turn the record up in 2005, Robyn Rihanna Fenty has been a chart-topping powerhouse representative of Def Jam Records. With her collaborations dominating the charts as of late, it seems that the recipe to Billboard success is a Rihanna hook. After all, she has the most digital number-one hits with eleven and counting.
That’s more number-one’s than Stevie Wonder or Janet Jackson. That’s two away from Michael Jackson and nine away from the untouchable Beatles. Are we talking quantity, not quality? It’s up for debate. How does she compare to the Gaga’s, Perry’s and Beyonce’s?
Turn on the radio. Open a music magazine. And if they’re on a break from their teen-preganancy programming, watch MTV. From Maroon 5 to Eminem to Coldplay to Lonely Island, there is that familiar sultry croon of the official ambassador of youth and culture for Barbados. She is considerably the most-featured female singer of this millennium. She’s no Fitzgerald, or Goulding for that matter, but it’s either she has a remarkable talent or impeccable timing. OK, maybe Jay-Z has a little something to do with it.
Going back to 2008, she was featured on two of the biggest songs of the year: Maroon5′s “If I Ever See Your Face Again” and T.I.’s redemption-song “Live Your Life.” Two opposing ends of the musical spectrum that equally delivered as hits in their respective genres.
Recently, her collaborations haven’t slowed down, they’ve been unescapable on the pop-charts. She duels with Nicki Minaj, harmonizes on Kanye’s “All of the Lights”and even trades verses with Chris Martin in Coldplay’s “Princess of China” In response to his appearance on “What’s My Name?”, Rihanna flourishes in the role of a wounded-love on the title track of Drake’s upcoming Take Care EP.
Her solo success should not be ignored. In Billboard’s 53-year-history, Rihanna is in a third-place tie with the legendary Whitney Houston for most chart-toppers, behind Mariah Carey and Madonna. That’s a fine line between jaw-dropping and head-scratching. She was also named Digital Song Artist of the Decade in 2009, passing Mr. West, Beyonce and Taylor Swift.
In a recent study, the most popular videos on YouTube are unsurprisingly, music videos that occupy an incredible 86% of the top 60 most-viewed. What’s even more mind-boggling is that a trifecta of pop-artists total a 25% of those 60 videos: Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and Rihanna. Bieber impregnates the rest of the pack with 1.664 billion views. Mother Monster rolls in with 842 million views and Rihanna clocks in with 715 million views.
With her new album Talk That Talk on the horizon (due out November 21), critical pop-singles are expected to stampede the airwaves. She took to Twitter on Tuesday to confirm that her mentor would appear on the title track: “Yes sir! Jigga man is on the title track #TTT.” What a clubhouse that must be, with Kanye and Jay meeting their female counterparts of Beyonce and Rihanna for an afternoon picnic.
Hova and Ri-Ri previously collaborated on her mega-hit “Umbrella” and he featured her on that Blueprint 3 power-house single, “Run This Town.”
She’s definitely beating Chris Brown’s success to death.
Mariah Carey is a Twitter addict, and she shares everything with her followers. This includes pictures of Nick Cannon in the hospital.
“Please pray for Nick as he’s fighting to recover from a mild kidney failure,” she tweeted early Wednesday morning.
“This is us in the hospital – role reversal; Last year it was me attached to the machines (after having dembabies) and Nick was there with me through it, and now here we are,” she added.
“We’re trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful,” Mariah writes. “They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C.”
There is proof for you. Mariah is a very dedicated wife who is at her husband’s side when he is in need. Who would have thought?
If hearing “Jingle Bells” and “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree” makes you want to puke, well, you better get those barf bags out, because Chrsitmas music isn’t going anywhere.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, when U.S. radio stations began playing christmas music 24/7, they raked in $20.1 billion, up 8 per cent from last year. So, if you’re a total Scrooge about the holiday music, you better buy some metal CDs to have handy in your car.
“There’s no other programming tactic in radio history that consistently delivers ratings increases better than Christmas music,” says senior VP of Clear Channel, Darren Davis.
When radio stations go the festive route, there are more chances you may hear the same annoying holiday song more than once in the office. For example, KYXY-FM in San Diego, played Bing Crosby’s version of “White Christmas” six times in one day. Given that the young guy has four holiday singels already, I wonder how many times Justin Bieber will come up on the radio today.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, here are the six most popular Christmas songs on the radio:
1. John Lennon – “Happy Christmas (War is Over)”
2. Andy Williams – “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”
3. Burl Ives – “Have a Holly Holly Christmas”
4. Mariah Carey – “All I Want For Christmas is You”
5. Nat King Cole – “The Christmas Song”
6. Jose Feliciano- ”Feliz Navidad”
On #freshpresslive today, Jordan and Natalia discuss the next big Tumblr phenom Texts From Bennett, the pancake rapper, Justin and Mariah’s Christmas video and Demi Lovato’s new tattoos.
All we want for Christmas is Justin Bieber. But, sadly, we can’t all be Selena Gomez. Or Mariah Carey in this case.
Yes, the lucky songbird got to costar in a joyous music video with the Biebs for his new song “All I Want For Christmas”, which is a cover of an old Mariah track.
The new mother of two looks like a total knock-out dresses as Mrs. Santa Claus and Bieber’s sporting a nice, fresh haircut. He’s sporting the most comfiest Christmas sweaters, you can’t help but want to cozy up by the fireplace with him and Mariah.
That dog featured in the end of the video, where Justin and Mariah pass out presnets together is one lucky canine! Check out the cute video posted below.
We’ve finally got a photo of Justin and Mariah together, and we’re not talking about the baby accuser, Mariah Yeater. The Mariah that’s been getting up close and personal with the bubbly singer is Mariah Carey.
The two recently filmed a music video for “All I Want For Christmas Is You”, a song of Mariah’s that Justin covers on his recently released holiday record. ET Canada posted on their Twitter page a photo of the two snuggling up with a very cute puppy.
It begs the question to every high school girl out there: Who’s cuter, a puppy or Justin Bieber? It’s a tough call, I think. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
What a busy few weeks it’s been for cousin Bieber, he dropped his new album Under the Mistletoe, appeared in Macy’s Black Friday commercial, freestyled over Jay-Z and Kanye’s “Otis,” and not only did he shoot a vide with Boyz II Men, but he did another with Mariah Carey.
According to his Twitter account, that video will be premiere at the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting next week:
“BIG NEWS! Me and @MariahCarey will debut “All I Want For Christmas Is You” Video WORLDWIDE on the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting. #4DAYS”Of course, Carey has a classic video for the song that showcases her skimpy Santa suits and promiscuous snow-bunny behaviour as she runs around in a festive frenzy.
She took to her Twitter also: “Shooting the final take of ‘All I Want.’ duet with suprise appearance by Jilly Beans & directed by my friend, the wonderful Sanaa Hamri.” What really dated her is her follow-up tweet, acknowledging her personal milestone, “Happy anniversary to MERRY CHRISTMAS II YOU!!”
Bieber told MTV News that securing Carey was easier than expected: “Mariah Carey is doing it with me! It’s incredible. So excited,” he said. “We wanted Mariah from the beginning, but we kind of thought it was really hard, so we didn’t really push the idea. But she’s on my label, so we reached out to some people, she got in contact with us, and Randy Jackson was actually at the studio with us, and I was like, ‘Yo, you think you can help get Mariah on the Christmas album?’ And he was like, ‘I’m actually going to see her in New York on Monday,’ and I was like ‘Yo, go do that!’ ”
Enjoy the new music video for Bieber’s collab with Boyz II Men, “Fa La La”:
Get your barf bangs out, everybody!
Newlyweds Nikki Reed and American Idol contestant Paul McDonald are so in love they had to record a cheesy song to let it all out.
The couple premiered their song “Now That I Got You” on Ryan Seacreast’s radio show this morning. She told Ryan she attends a lot of open mic nights with her hubby and plans to record more songs with him.
You can listen to the song posted below.
Nikki and Paul aren’t the first couple to record music together but they definitely should be the last. Before you know it, Gwyneth Paltrow can be found on every Coldplay song! The gesture is nice but incredibly cheesy and unnecessary in my opinion. Let’s separate business from pleasure, shall we? Here are some other couples who should never make music together.
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel
We all know Justin’s a triple threat. Jessica’s only known for her acting – for now! Let’s hope Justin doesn’t convince her to sing harmonies for his next album.
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon
She can belt a note like no other, but Nick should stick to making an ass of himself on television. The R&B diva is doing fine on her own.
Fergie and Josh Dumel
Fergie’s one fly babe when she’s on stage with the Black Eyed Peas, but could you imagine Josh Dumel booty-popping with her on stage? That’s an epic fail waiting to happen.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin
Gwyneth have have sang in that Country Strong movie and duetted with Cee Lo Green at award shows, but if she ever summons Chris Martin into a song, all hell will break lose. She should stick to mediocre acting and raving about organic food.
Even since repeatedly pestering that poor DJ to turn the record up in 2005, Robyn Rihanna Fenty has been a chart-topping powerhouse representative of Def Jam Records. With her collaborations dominating the charts as of late, it seems that the recipe to Billboard success is a Rihanna hook.

Mariah Carey’s daughter is a diva just like her mother, says husband Nick Cannon to Perez Hilton.
Just last April, the famous couple welcomed twins into their life, Moroccan Scott being the boy and Monroe being the girl.
Now, Cannon claims the two babies already have distinct personalities. He shares that Morrocan is laid back like he is, meanwhile his daughter is a diva like his mother. Did I mention Monroe is one month old?
“My daughter is, that’s her mothers child. Like she is like a diva. She sleeps like this with her hands. She’s like, when she wants something, she’s instantly crying letting you know likes she’s going to be a little handful. And it’s crazy because you can see like my son is definitely more like me. He’s like chill, laid back,” says Cannon.
Nick also revealed Mariah was always his celebrity crush, and the two wasted no time getting to know each other after meeting .
He says: “[At the beginning] we didn’t see each other because you know I was in LA and she was in New York most of the time. But it was one of those things where we were inseparable to a point where when I’m – I always knew I was going to be in love with Mariah Carey. She was my celebrity crush since I was a kid. So I was like when I get the opportunity, I’m going to just let her know how I feel and just go hard, just – and I went hard and then from that point she connected. When we weren’t there we were on the phone all the time. It was just like, it was real. Six hours on the phone. Like who do you talk to for six hours? What do you talk about for six hours? That’s like – it was like that junior high love.”
I can tell that the daughter is going to be a hand full. Imagine being raised with nothing but the best and having the diva of the century as your mother. Watch out, world.
After much speculation, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have finally revealed the names of their twins who were born on Saturday, reports Perez Hilton.
The happy couple have named their son Moroccan Scott Cannon, his middle name taken from Cannon’s own middle name, as well as his grandmother’s maiden name. As for his first name, Moroccan comes from Carey’s Moroccan Room, the top tier of her New York City apartment, where Cannon proposed. Although it comes off as an odd name at first, it makes perfect sense once you hear their reasoning!
As well, they named their daughter Monroe Cannon, after Carey’s long-time inspiration, Marilyn Monroe. The baby girl was not given a middle name since Carey does not have one herself.
“It has been a long, emotional journey for this family,” Mariah’s rep, Cindi Berger, told CNN, “and I couldn’t be happier for all of them.” We couldn’t agree more, and the names they’ve chosen are adorable!
The couple received their baby twins on August 30 following their third wedding anniversary, renewing their hospital vows in the hospital.
What do you think of Mariah and Nick’s babies’ names?
After wife Mariah Carey gave birth yesterday to both a little girl and a little boy, Us Weekly reports that husband Nick Cannon is bursting with joy.
Carey gave birth at an L.A. hospital just after noon on Saturday, coincidentally – the same day as the couple’s fourth wedding anniversary.
Cannon took to his tried and true form of mass communication, Twitter, to communicate his joy at the babies’ birth: “My wife just gave me the most incredible anniversary gift ever in life! I won’t ever be able to top this!”
He added a more serious note the next day though, saying, “I’m in the happiest place I’ve ever been in my life. I never had more amazing things happening. I am humbled by God’s Favor!”
Us Weekly reported yesterday that the couple rushed to the hospital in their Rolls Royce Phantom, welcoming both their son and daughter as Carey’s #1 hit single from 2006, “We Belong Together,” played on in the background.
Though the babies’ names have still not been reported, good to know Cannon has manned up a little since he first tweeted, “I am probably going to faint in the delivery room! I need to man up!”
The 30-year-old obviously did what he had to, to support his wife, 42, through the delivery of not one, but two children. The couple, who has previously opened up about the struggle to conceive after miscarrying, are undoubtedly elated with the arrival of two healthy, happy babies.
Although the new mother has yet to comment on the exciting news, Twitter friends around the world took to their accounts to congratulate the couple on their happy news. Celebrities like Alyssa Milano, Nicki Minaj, Jermaine Dupri and Katy Perry all had kind words for the first-time parents.
Wrote Minaj: “Congratulations Mariah & Nick!!!!!!!!! The twins have finally landed on earth!!! Yaaayyyyy!!!!!”
Now that the twins have finally landed, we’re anticipating some interesting names.
Mariah Carey gave birth to two twins this morning in Los Angeles. Carey was driven to the hospital by her husband Nick Cannon in the couple’s Rolls Royce. Today is evidently the couple’s third wedding anniversary.
TooFab.com reports the baby girl was born first, weighing 5 pounds, 3 ounces and was 18 inches tall. The brother was born next, weighing in at 5 pounds, 6 ounces and was 19 inches tall.
Carey’s rep said the two have not named the babies yet … and were listening to “We Belong Together” after the kids were born.
It was nice of Nick to drive Mariah to the hospital. We hope she didn’t make a mess of the car’s luxurious interior, and Nick has proven he is good for something besides knocking her up.
Good luck to the new happy family!
Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon posed completely nude on the cover of OK! Magazine. Do we really need to see this?
As you can see in the photo Mariah definitely has quite a baby bump, and “thanks” to Nick Cannon for shielding her breasts. Here’s hoping this baby pops soon. But nevertheless, even for a pregnant woman, Mariah still looks good.
Too good for Nick Cannon, but that’s another story.
Radar Online is reporting that 40 year old songstress Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon may be expecting twins.
Mariah confirmed rumors of pregnancy after weeks of speculation, but wouldn’t say any more than that. That is, until she accidentally used a plural pronoun when referring to her growing baby bump on Radio Disney.
Carey told DJ Ernie D that she frequently sings Christmas music from her new album to her bump. The Precious star added enthusiastically “I just hope they don’t come out hating Christmas!”
I guess we’ll find out in the spring when Mariah’s due!
Listen to the interview below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewRsff9R_3g&feature=player_embedded
There has been months and months of speculation around whether or not Mariah Carey is pregnant. Although everyone knew she was pregnant due to her protruding baby bump at recent events, she still refused to comment. According to Perezhilton.com, Carey and her husband, Nick Cannon, have finally revealed the ‘not so big’ secret that Carey is in fact pregnant.
The couple will have their first child this spring and they couldn’t be happier. Carey suffered a miscarriage two years ago so she was hesitant about sharing information on her most recent pregnancy. Hopefully the baby will inherit Carey’s vocal skills and Cannon’s errr..dance skills? Wonder if it will be a girl or a boy?
Well, congrats to the happy couple.
Perez Hilton is reporting that Mariah Carey is in negotiations to become a judge for the upcoming season of American Idol.
The ratings-owning singing competition is restructuring its judging table this year, after Kara DioGuardi was let go and Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres stepped down.
There’s only one spot left to fill as Randy Jackson and (likely) Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler already have places at the table. Although it was reported that Jennifer Lopez was very close to getting the spot as the third judge, Mariah Carey might be a better option for the show.
Although nothing is official, sources tell Perez Hilton that Mariah “wants it” and that “she’s seen what America’s Got Talent has done for [Nick Cannon] and thinks it will be a good career move.”
Virgin Radio Toronto’s Planet Maurie, who got engaged on stage in Las Vegas to his partner Matthew in front of Mariah, is on a quest to complete the story by getting married during Mariah’s Toronto show on February 9. Before he can do this, with the hope that he gets the green light from Mariah’s people, he needed to take the Virgin Radio headcam to the National Bridal Show.
Madonna, Mariah Carey, Beyonce and Robbie Williams are just a few of the superstars planning to record numbers for an upcoming Michael Jackson tribute album, reports the Daily Star. Whitney Houston, Usher and 12-year-old Shaheen Jafargholi of Britain’s Got Talent will also reportedly be featured alongside legends like Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross and Lionel Richie.
“The idea came from the memorial concert,” said a source. “Many fans asked if cover versions would be released and it seemed a wonderful idea. Some of the biggest stars in the world have indicated they’d like to take part to pay their own respects and tribute to the King of Pop. This cover album is sure to be a massive worldwide hit with fans and could raise a fortune for Michael’s favourite charities.”
Jafargholi, who performed “Who’s Loving You” at the memorial held for Jackson in Los Angeles, will record that track, as well as the song “Ben.” Carey will be singing “I’ll Be There,” while Williams will perform “Man in the Mirror.”
In life (and in the hip-hop industry especially), there’s an unwritten code: as you approach the veteran years of your career, you’re expected to lose a step in your game.
Twista did not get that memo.
In fact, with 18 years of experience in the business so far, the Chicago hip-hop legend doesn’t see a career decline anytime soon. Nope, on the contrary. He says that some of his best work is yet to come.
Think about that for a moment.
This is coming from the guy who’s had two of his past six studio albums go platinum and crack the top ten list on the U.S. Billboard top 200, collaborations with some of the music industry’s finest talent including Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Mariah Carey, T-Pain, Lil Wayne, T.I, and Akon, and not to mention, this is also the former Guinness World Record holder for the fastest rapper in the world.
