Friday Five : \'frī-(,)dā,-dē 'fīv\ : On the sixth day of every week, I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes, then share the first five tracks and thought for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, occasionally we'll have a guest, but most of the time it's just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments. The Five: "Like a Virgin" by Madonna (from [...]
Avril Lavigne was spotted leaving Koi restaurant in West Hollywood last night. Now, what the pop punkette wore and what she ate were far less exciting to us than who the Canadian chanteuse was seen leaving with: ex-boyfriend Brody Jenner. What the hell ? When reports surfaced earlier this month that the celeb couple had called it quits, we pondered what would become of their complementary tattoos . Perhaps, the amicable breakup is still that and Brody was simply giving the X Factor performer a proper sendoff before [...]
Filed under: Exclusive , RPM , New Music , Q + A Morten Gordestad Though they eschew the word "mature," after performing in front of tens of thousands of fans, partying around the world and subsequently growing "sick of seeing each other's faces," Norwegian rockers 120 Days have taken the better part of six years off to quietly regroup, work on independent projects and start families before announcing their return.

Perhaps the only thing greater than the love affair between musicians and tattoos is celebrity couples' burning desire to get matching tattoos. When reports surfaced earlier this week that Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner were (amicably) calling it quits, it occurred to us that the twosome is just the latest pop star couple whose complementary ink far outlasted the romance. So we decided to take a walk down memory lane and revisit all the pop star flames that proved less permanent than the artful illustrations on their body. Click through to for a tattooed [...]

No, non vogliamo tediarvi ulteriormente con una nuova storia riguardante la fine del mondo predetta dai Maya: l'immagine qui in alto riportata serve per calarvi nel mondo discografico del 2012, un anno che vedrà importanti nuovi album che, uscendo allo scoperto, si scontreranno a suon di copie vendute. Una vera e propria guerra musicale, canora e promozionale che probabilmente potrà veramente causare il declino della nostra civiltà. Battute a parte, cogliamo con questo post l'occasione per mettere un pò di ordine per ciò che concerne la situazione discografica del 2012. Molti saranno infatti i dischi che verranno [...]

Because there were so many music videos to emerge in 2011, we have to give props where props are due. As it would be impossible to simply call one music video the "Best Music Video of 2011," for the first time ever, we're naming winners in a bunch of categories based on the major themes we saw in this year's crop of clips. So, instead of one best music video of 2011, we've arrived at nine! See which videos really made a mark on 2011 below. Best Music Video About A [...]

WE'RE BACK! And remembering 2011. Initially we felt that this perhaps hadn't been the most sonically astounding year, but having had to refine 12 months' worth of music down to a mere 25 highlights has been a troublesome task indeed. This year has also been an odd one in terms of strong artists producing strong albums, but not individual tracks that will make the list below (Expect Best Albums and Honorable Mentions imminently). So, let's get to it.... 25. Metronomy - The Bay ( Erol Alkan 's Extended Rework) [...]

Last night on the final performance night of The X Factor , the Top 3 — Josh Krajcik, Melanie Amaro, and Chris Rene — got some all-star support for one of their numbers. Avril Lavigne stopped by to bust out her debut single "Complicated" with Chris, while Melanie teamed up with sea cap'n R. Kelly on his overly sentimental, incredibly overplayed "I Believe I Can Fly". Our favorite duet, though, had to be Josh singing alongside a sleek-haired Alanis Morissette, not just because "Uninvited" is the best song of the three (it clearly is), but because any excuse for Alanis to [...]

Josh Krajcik and Alanis Morissette Last night was the final night the top three contestants on X Factor USA - Josh Krajcik, Melanie Amaro , and Chris Rene - could give it all they had in performances to grab up as many of America's votes as possible in the hopes of winning the competition and the $5 million recording contract. X Factor USA Recap: Melanie Amaro Owns Top 3 Performance Finale To make their first-round performances even more memorable, [...]

Melanie Amaro - Fox The X Factor USA final three contestants have worked hard enough to make it to the finale but their chance at becoming the season one winner depends on the performances they give during the very last live performance show. Melanie Amaro , Josh Krajcik and Chris Rene pulled out all the stops during the intense and sometimes emotional finale performance show but they didn't have to fight alone-at least in the first round. Each contestant was joined by a celebrity for a special duet to [...]

Rolling Stone 's Rob Sheffield, who writes for the publication's Pop Life blog, gave his picks for the Top 25 Songs of 2011, and there are some real head-scratchers in this bunch: Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" didn't even make the Top 10, while Rebecca Black's "Friday" came in at #9?! And as much as we love Britney Spears' album cut "How I Roll" — which was honored as the top pick of the year — her official single "Till The World Ends" was still one of the 2011's best jams. (Personally, when it comes to [...]

Chris Rene, Melanie Amaro and Josh Krajcik - Bauer Griffin Get ready to see the X Factor USA final three contestants perform duets on tonight's (December 21) performance show. But they won't be singing with each other, they'll be doing duets with a little help from some celebrity friends. US Weekly reports that Alanis Morissette , Avril Lavigne and R. Kelly are scheduled to appear on the final live performance show of the competition to sing with the top three. Morissette will reportedly sing with Josh [...]

Cranking out new music year after year has its advantages — mainly, it keeps an artist in the public eye. Take, for instance, Rihanna, who has topped a Facebook poll on the most talked-about music artists of 2011. (Guess its no wonder, then, why her latest album is titled Talk That Talk ?) Rihanna landed atop the Facebook ranking based, according to Entertainmentwise , on "her number of 'likes', how fast her profile is going, and her prominence in the media". For the record, RiRi currently stands [...]
