Lady Gaga Wants to Recreate ‘Expensive Hooker’ Scent for New Perfume
Lady Gaga tweeted that she is shooting her perfume campaign this weekend, posting: “Looking forward to this weekend. Shooting my parfum campaign and commercial with Steven Klein. Will be edited to a special song.” We already know the campaign ads will be visual spectacles, since this is Gaga we’re talking about. We can’t wait until she leaks photos from the big shoot. But the billion dollar questi
Adele Stuns on March Vogue Cover
Much is made about the fact that Adele is a singer as opposed to a pop star. She doesn’t want the trappings of pop stardom or desire to be waif thin. She isn’t interested creating a gimmick. It’s all about her voice and her songs.
But that doesn’t mean that she can’t or doesn’t enjoy dressing up in priceless couture for the cover of the March 2012 issue of Vogue.
Bruno Mars Brings Rat Pack Style to the Stage at 2012 Grammy Awards
Bruno Mars was the first pop act to perform at the 2012 Grammy Awards and the second performer overall, following classic rock legend Bruce Springsteen, who opened the show. Mars rocked his way through ‘Runaway Baby’ with a classic, Rat Pack energy. His performance was inspired by another era. But that’s what Mars does so well. He even busted out a golden megaphone mid-set, too.

Kesha Tweets About Whitney Houston’s Death Nearly 24 Hours Later
Kesha issued a heartfelt tweet about the death of Whitney Houston this afternoon. She posted: “i cannot even believe it.

Brittany Zika, AKA Tripster the Hipster, Tells Her ‘Story’ at ‘American Idol’ Portland Audition
The ‘American Idol‘ audition round has moved to the Pacific Northwest to the lovely (if cloudy) city of Portland. The first contestant was evidence that you can’t judge a singer by her clothes!

With the news of Leslie Carter’s passing still fresh, rumors about the cause of death of the sister of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter and Aaron Carter are beginning to surface.

‘The Voice’ Coaches Goof Off on Rolling Stone Cover
The second season of ‘The Voice‘ kicks off on Feb. 5, right after the Super Bowl. After year of high ratings, press, promotion, hype and hanging out while seated in high-backed red space chairs, the coaches have come together for round two and they are celebrating with a Rolling Stone cover.
Romeo Diahn Survives Refugee Camp, Moves On After ‘American Idol’ Audition
There are ‘American Idol‘ backstories and then there are backstories! We doubt that any of the contestants that have stood on the audition stage through the show’s entire history could lay claim to going through what hopeful Romeo Diahn has been through. He is a true survivor with a feel good story if there ever was one.
‘American Idol’ Portland Auditions Recap: Brittany Zika, Britnee Kellogg Show Their Blond Ambition
Portland is a pop culture hot bed. From the hilarious series ‘Portlandia’ — which celebrates the indie-dom and coolness of the region and is as far removed from ‘American Idol‘ and its pop sensibilities — to the hipster-friendly nature of the often cloudy and rainy area, Portland is on our radar a bunch. No wonder ‘American Idol’ producers hit the city again this season for the audition phase.

Lana Del Rey Redeems Herself With BBC Live Performance
Still think Lana Del Rey is all hype with no hope? Then check out her performance of ‘Video Games’ on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge, where she pretty much redeems her much-maligned ‘Saturday Night Live‘ performance. If you thought she sucked on ‘SNL,’ then at least allow the woman born Lizzie Grant in upstate New York another chance to win you over with this particular performance.
