Katy Perry Interview on Chelsea Lately

Katy Perry was interviewed at the awesome Chelsea Lately show, where she talked about her tour, her Grammy nomination and more. This was a great interview, so you must check it out. Also, Perry's single "Hot 'N Cold" has recently crossed over the three million digital sales, joining her single "I Kissed a Girl" in the three million group. Unbelievable, both her first singles combined have sold a total of over six million digital sales! That's crazy. Congrats to her.

U2- "Get On Your Boots" [Music Video]

U2 has released the music video for "Get On Your Boots". The first single released from their album No Line on the Horizon to hit stores on February 27. Great song.

Rihanna- Live at 2009 Superbowl Pepsi Smash

Here's "Breakin' Dishes" and "Disturbia", some of Rihanna's performances at the 2009 Superbowl Pepsi Smash, which recently aired on VH1. I wish more better quality videos of these performances were posted on YouTube. I'll post the rest when and if they are uploaded in a better quality. Check it out.

Ciara- "Never Ever" Music Video

Question is up in the air, will Ciara meet the success she had with her past albums? Or have other singers like Rihanna taken her spot light? Hm... Ciara has released the music video for "Never Ever", the second single released from her album Fantasy Ride to hit stores soon. Good song, check it out.

[MP3] Avril Lavigne- "I Will Be"

[MP3] Avril Lavigne- "I Will Be"

Many of you already recognize "I Will Be" as the third American single released from Leona Lewis' album Spirit. But did you know that the song was written and originally recorded by Canadian singer Avril Lavigne? Now you do! Haha, for those who haven't heard the song, I've posted an MP3 download link above. Enjoy.

Lil Wayne- "Prom Queen" Live

Ouch! Originally, I liked the idea of Lil Wayne's switch into the rock genre... but after this awful live performance of his newest single "Prom Queen" I'm not so sure about the transition. He sounded horrible, and that's being nice. Hopefully, it was just a bad performance and not what we're to wait for in the album.

Kelly Clarkson Records 'Save You' for New Album

Kelly Clarkson has - or will record this song for her new album All I Ever Wanted to hit stores this March. The title of the song is "Save You" and was originally recorded by Gone Til November. Can't wait to hear Kelly's version. Great song.

All Access Grammy Special: Carrie Underwood

Here's a side we've never seen of Carrie Underwood before. She talks about her current favorite albums which are David Cook's self-titled debut and the New Kids on the Block comeback album, that might surprise a few. Overall, it's a very interesting few minutes. Check it out. Don't forget, Carrie will be performing at the Grammy Awards this February. She is also nominated for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for her hit "Last Name".

Kelly Clarkson- New Music Video!

Kelly Clarkson's new video for "My Life Would Suck Without You" has leaked before time! The first American Idol winner was set to give us only a short preview of the video during tonight's airing of Idol. However, the full-length video has already found its way online. Clarkson has nothing to complain about though, as the single not only debuts at #1 on the Billboard Hot Digital Songs chart selling around 280,000 digital units over the past week but it also breaks a Billboard record as the biggest leap to #1 on the Hot 100. "My Life" moves up 97-1 to give Kelly her second #1 single since her debut "A Moment Like This" topped the chart in 2003. Congrats to Kelly. Now, about the music video, it's fun! It's great, really. And like the song, the video also reminds me somewhat of the "Since U Been Gone" video. Not that it's a bad thing. Bottom line is, Kelly is back to claim the success she had years ago with the release of her album Breakway. Awesome music video, great song. Check it out!

David Archuleta- iCarly Live Performance Preview

David Archuleta will be a guest star on this coming Saturday's episode of the Nickelodeon hit show iCarly.

Check out the short preview above.

Keith Urban- "Sweet Thing" Music Video

Hot Pick: The Ting Tings- "Not My Name"

Talk about a catchy song. The Ting Tings have released a new music video version for their new US single "Not My Name", and like I said before, damn this song is catchy! By the way, their album We Started Nothing is in stores now. Enjoy!!

Lil Wayne- "Prom Queen"

Lil Wayne has turned into a Rock singer! After the extremely successful release of his album Tha Carter III, Wayne is now switching gears from Hip-Hop and Rap to Rock and will release his debut rock album appropiately titled Rebirth this April.

Kellie Pickler is the New Face of Sexy Hair

Kellie Pickler has signed on as a 2009 celebrity spokesperson for Sexy Hair products. As part of the multi-million dollar endorsement agreement, Pickler and fellow celeb Cheryl Burke will appear in the company’s consumer and trade publication ads, promotional materials, and publicity campaign. Advertising roll-outs will begin in April and run through December in Allure magazine, Cosmopolitan magazine, Launchpad, Modern Salon, American Salon and Canadian Hairdresser.

Pickler, who will specifically represent products including Big Sexy Hair and Short Sexy Hair, says she has been a fan of the line for years and jokes, “I need all the Sexy I can get!”

Hot Pick: Laura Pausini Ft. James Blunt- "Primavera in Anticipo" [Music Video]

Italian singer Laura Pausini has recently released the music video for her single "Primavera in Anticipo", serving as the secong single from her album of that same title which hit stores last November to huge success in her home country Italy. About the new single, it features James Blunt, and together, I think they've done an amazing job. The song is simply great! "Primavera in Anticipo" which translated to English means "Anticipated Spring" has also been recorded and released in Spanish under the title "Primavera Anticipada". Enjoy!

The Killers- "Spaceman" [Music Video]

New stuff from The Killers! The group have released the music video for "Spaceman" which will serve as the second single from their album Day & Age in stores now. Good song, enjoy!

Martina McBride- "Ride" [Music Video]

Martina McBride will be releasing her newest album, Shine, this March. While we wait, she premiered her music video for the song "Ride" on CMT.com, it's a good song but not nearly as good as "Anyway", the first single from her last album. Enjoy.

Leona Lewis- "I Will Be" [Music Video]

Leona Lewis has just released the music video for "I Will Be", the third single released in the US from her album Spirit. The song, I easily see it as one of her biggest hits, it's a great ballad. For those who might now know, "I Will Be" was written and originally recorded by Canadian singer Avril Lavigne for her 2007 album The Best Damn Thing. Enjoy!

Controversy Surrounding Britney's New Single

Oh, it never ends! Britney Spears has officially announced her plans of releasing the song "If You Seek Amy" as the third single from her extremely successful album Circus. However, the song is already causing controversy. If the listener hears the chorus of the songs it goes... "all of the boys and all of the girls are beggin' to if you seek amy" which then, when said out loud sounds like "all of the boys and all of the girls are beggin' to f.u.c.k. me" Various radio stations have already threatened to boycott the song and not play it on the radio because it "violates the broadcast indecency law" if played between 6am and 10pm. Now, to try to fix the issue, Britney's label decided to re-record the song as "If You See Amy" which then would sound like "f.u.c.a. me" which obviously makes no sense. So what's going to happen now? Only time will tell, I say they should pick a ballad as a single for a change! Check out the song above.

Kat DeLuna Ft. Lil Wayne- "Unstoppable" Video

Here comes a catchy song. Kat DeLuna released the music video for her newest single "Unstoppable" which fatures rapper Lil Wayne. The song is the first single released from her upcoming sophomore album titled Inside Out. Like I said before, the song is quite catchy, I like this path that Lil Wayne has taken into the rock genre, it sounds great. However, I feel some deja vu with this video, as some scenes and looks from Kat remind me of Rihanna. Check it out!

P!nk- "Please Don't Leave Me" Music Video

P!nk has released the music video for "Please Don't Leave Me", the third single that will be released from her album Funhouse. I don't know why she released the music video so soon, considering that her current single "Sober" is a new hit in radio and it's one of the most added songs right now. "Please Don't Leave Me" is one of my favorite songs from the album, but I have a feeling we won't hear this one on the radio for a while, at least until "Sober" finishes doing its job, which can take a couple more months. For now, enjoy the video. Great video, by the way.

Help Save the Seals!

I can't ever say this enough and I will use the blog as often as I can to promote this. The Canadian seal hunt is the largest slaughter of marine mammals on Earth. More than one million baby seals have been brutually beaten to death for their fur during the past four years. You can help stop this atrocity. Unfortunately, the season for the hunt is fastly approaching, which means thousands of baby seals will have to die because people like us continue to consume Canadian sea food and continue to purchase fur coats. PLEASE, take a look at these amazing pictures taken by Nigel Barker for the Humane Society. Join me by clicking here and take the pledge to STOP Canada's cruel seal hunt!

Aubrey O'Day Playboy Preview

Here is the first photo leaked from ex-Danity Kane member Aubrey O'Day's Playboy Magazine photoshoot. O'Day will appear on the cover of the magazine for its March 2009 issue.

Brooke Hogan Covers Kelly Clarkson's New Single

Brooke Hogan has covered the Kelly Clarkson's new single "My Life Would Suck Without You". This is... well, interesting. Brooke is nowhere near the vocalist Kelly is, so it seems a little lame that she would try to cover this song, however, it could've been worse. Check it out.

Only time will tell. For those who have not heard the song, enjoy the embed YouTube video above.

This time last year, Ashlee Simpson was trying to promote her album Bittersweet World which unfortunately became a commercial failure. During the process of promoting the album, Simpson announced she had married her fiance Pete Wentz and became pregnant with their first child who was born two months ago and was named Bronx Mowgli Wentz. Now, Ashlee Simpson has stated that she would like to let everyone know that she is very very excited to get into the studio soon and start recording! Also she can't wait to get back out on the road! Personally, I can't wait to hear new material from Ashlee, and hopefully, this time around the album becomes an instant hit!

Kelly Clarkson All I Ever Wanted Album Cover

Kelly Clarkson has unveiled the official cover for her upcoming fourth studio album now titled All I Ever Wanted which will hit stores on March 17th. The lead single from this awaited-for album is the song "My Life Would Suck Without You" set to premiere next week. Until then, here is the cover art work, which I don't like at all. If they only changed the colors in the background, it would make an enormous difference! I'll get used to it, eventually.
