Lana Del Rey Wore ‘Regular’ Clothes, And It’s Kinda Freaking Us Out A Little (PHOTO)
by Byron Flitsch | July 12, 2013 at 8:30 pm

Lana Del Rey ISN'T wearing a BALL GOWN? We're confused. We're kinda confused. Based on almost every Lana Del Rey music video we've ever seen, we kinda thought that soft-focus lighting, chic wardrobes, and dramatic music followed Lana everywhere she went IRL. But, judging by the above photo of Lana going out in a casual baseball cap [...]

We can think of one thing that would be pretty high up on a collection of bad things: when professional athletes try their hand at music careers. At least that's what we were thinking before listening to Bad Things, [...]

by David Greenwald | July 12, 2013 at 7:30 pm

Imaginary Cities go sci-fi in their "Bells of Cologne" video. Imaginary Cities are a Winnipeg band who play indie pop in the grand Canadian tradition of Stars and The Dears: synth-heavy, dramatic, and crazy catchy. The band's new "Bells of Cologne" video has more lens flares than a J.J. Abrams movie, and the same fascination [...]

Haim’s New V Magazine Piece Is Taking Our Obsession To Worrying New Heights
by Tamar Anitai | July 12, 2013 at 7:00 pm

Haim do their best Stevie Nicks (if Stevie were besties with Ke$ha) in V Magazine. I used to feel like a comfortable, benign, safely detached relationship to my admiration for Cali sister act Haim. But I'll be honest with you, because I feel like we're friends and that this is a safe space. The more [...]

by Jenna Hally Rubenstein | July 12, 2013 at 6:00 pm

Victoria Justice flirts with "Teen Wolf" star Colton Haynes in her "Gold" video. We've been jamming to Victoria Justice's "Gold" ever since it dropped in mid-June, and honestly, if this track isn't on your go-to summer playlist (and your "abs workout" playlist), then you might need to turn up the AC to clear your heads. (They [...]

New Song: Robin Thicke, ‘Take It Easy On Me’
by Jenna Hally Rubenstein | July 12, 2013 at 3:45 pm

Robin Thicke sings about sexy time(s) in "Take It Easy On Me." It's not like we didn't already know "Blurred Lines" singer Robin Thicke was a straight ace in the sack. (Well, actually, only Robin's IRL wifey Paula Patton knows for sure, but the guy doesn't have buttery falsetto for nothin', if y'all know what I mean.) [...]

Star Spotting: The Wanted’s Nathan Sykes Takes A Dreamy ‘Professional Headshot’ Selfie (PHOTO)
by Jenna Hally Rubenstein | July 12, 2013 at 2:09 pm

Selfie or professional headshot? We can't tell the difference! Isn't there some unspoken rule that selfies have to be a little bit less cute than normal photos?
