Star Spotting: We Really Don’t Mind Being Held Up By One Direction
by Byron Flitsch | May 24, 2012 at 10:30 pm

One Direction accessorize with toy guns at the 'Men In Black III' red carpet. One Direction's a big deal. They can do whatever the hell they want -- like show up on the red carpet and flash toy guns -- and no one can say a damn thing about it. Hey, when you are one [...]

Video Premiere: Linkin Park, ‘Burn It Down’
by David Greenwald | May 24, 2012 at 9:53 pm

Linkin Park are going upbeat with 'Burn It Down.' We're not sure when Linkin Park started listening to MGMT, but we're not gonna lie -- we're pretty into it. The band's "Burn It Down" hasn't jumped completely into hipster dance party territory, but with its sunny keyboard melody, the oft-aggro act sounds surprisingly, um, cheerful. [...]

Besides like, the International Tattoo Convention (if that's a thing), Bamboozle is basically ground zero for all body art ever. Everyone there was rocking some kind of ink, including almost all of our pals who came to talk to us (and T. Mills) this past weekend. And all the tats we saw ranged from the [...]

by Sam Lansky | May 24, 2012 at 8:15 pm

Oh hey! I'm Sam Lansky -- music writer, Twitterlebrity, and occasional celebutante (those last two aren't true) -- and this is my column, Pop Think, dedicated to documenting the most valuable corners of the pop music universe. And in that universe, there's one star who shines brightest of all for me: The inimitable Paris Hilton, [...]

New Video: Kelly Clarkson, ‘Dark Side’
by Byron Flitsch | May 24, 2012 at 7:30 pm

Kelly Clarkson makes us all kinds of emotional in her new video, 'Dark Side.' We may have congratulated the newest "American Idol" winner, Phillip Phillips, last night, but it's a treat to get a fresh video from OG "Idol" star Kelly Clarkson. It's been 10 years, and even after all the girl's hits, we can't [...]

by Jenna Rubenstein | May 24, 2012 at 6:23 pm

Don't sleep on J. Pinder. Preview his soon-to-be-released debut, Careless. We're only gonna say this once: Do not sleep on J. Pinder. The 23-year-old Seattle-based emcee is about to drop Careless, his debut full-length album, and we'd venture to say that by this time next year the dude will probably be a household name. It's not [...]

Watch Jay Sean and Pitbull in 'I'm All Yours.' It's no secret that Jay Sean and Pitbull love partying, hot women, cars and booze. But the raging that occurs in the video for their new song "I'm All Yours" is on a whole other level. Shot in Miami, "I'm All Yours" is characterized primarily by scantily clad chicks fawning [...]

Trace Cyrus Tattooed An Eagle And Some Flowers Onto His Head (PHOTO)
by Nicole James | May 24, 2012 at 4:30 pm

We really hope Trace Cyrus likes eagles and roses forever. The thing about living in America is that you can walk into a certified establishment and tell a stranger to draw a picture on your head with a needle and ink and no one's going to stop you. Trace Cyrus did this recently -- he [...]
