It's still hard to believe that Whitney Houston is gone . After getting over the initial shock of hearing news of her death, we channeled our grief by looking back on her triple decade-spanning career. At every twist and turn, the R&B diva was breaking records, topping charts, blazing a trail for today's women of pop and, ultimately, leaving an inspirational and indelible mark — not just on the music industry, but on the world at large. We've taken eight of Ms. Houston's Greatest Moments In Time as our way of saying, "we will always love you." [...]
Katy Perry may be newly single, but she's certainly not letting her mood match the color of her hair. In fact, the "Part Of Me" songbird couldn't have looked any rosier at last night's MusiCares tribute to Sir Paul McCartney — mostly because she was rocking a giant pink flower on her head. "Tonights lewk is Petal Power themed," Katy tweeted shortly before the event, where she sang The Beatles' "Hey Jude" in tribute of MusiCares' "Person of the Year."
Hyro Da Hero is heavy enough for us to feature him on Thrash Hits, right? That's a rhetorical question, by the way. It wasn't a request for people to go debate it in the comments or anything. Anyway, he's got the more-than-excellent Marmozets playing in support of him on his UK tour, and given that we've expressed our love of that band on more than one occasion , we figured this was more than enough reason to make sure Gary Wolstenholme was on hand to photograph the whole shebang [...]
It's been five years since Rihanna first set foot onto the Grammy red carpet in a backless green gown, and the Barbados beauty has been wowing us ever since. As we gear up for Sunday's Super Bowl Of Music, we can't help but wonder what fashions the Queen Of YouTube will amaze us with this year. From the pre-awards parties to the press room, RiRi has kept us on our toes in past years a la a shocking new 'do, a revealing ruffled dress and dramatic ball gown. Hit rewind with us as we remember the [...]
British Vogue teased us last week with their Lana Del Rey cover for their upcoming issue, and now photos from the Born To Die singer's March spread have finally surfaced. As expected, LDR holds true to her "Gangsta Nancy Sinatra" style esthetic and the Amoeba Music performer proves worthy of her recent modeling contract . Should all those babysitting gigs dry up, Lana could still have a long career in front of the camera (if she decides to keep her promise of never touring nor returning [...]
In unsurprising news, Lana Del Rey's latest spread for T has the divisive pop star posing in white for provocative photographer Terry Richardson. (Unfortunately for all you LDR haters, Terry does not punch Lana in the face ). In her interview with the The New York Times Style Magazine the stimulating siren speaks of her controversial Saturday Night Live appearance explaining, "I'm not by nature a showstopper. I love to write and play songs, but onstage, all these things come into play. I'm always saying to myself, Don't mess up. Don't mess [...]
Kelly Rowland was honored last night at the Third Annual Essence Black Women In Music event. The "Keep It Between Us" siren kept her sexy abs hidden under her asymmetrical tangerine-colored gown. Fellow Child of Destiny Michelle Williams, "It All Belongs To Me" singer Brandy and Eve were also in attendance to celebrate the Grammy nominee . Check out last night's soiree at L.A.'s Belasco Theatre and tell us below (or on Facebook and Twitter ) which woman best embodied the essence of a diva.
Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine is the pop star du jour to drop by Terry Richardson's studio. Unlike the photog's latest shoot with Lady Gaga , the Voice coach remained fully clothed (a pity, that). The dapper singer kept things casual in a t-shirt and jeans and didn't seem to mind all that much when Terry socked him one right in the kisser (for the sake of art, of course). Check out the Grammy nominee 's shoot, but be warned there is one pic where [...]
Katy Perry is all about the latex dresses , whipped cream-blasting brassieres and confection-themed costumes for the stage and screen, but when it comes to the Grammy Awards , the Teenage Dream is all glitz and glamor. Year after year, the pop star has stepped onto the Grammy red carpet in dazzling gowns and a glowing face. But in light of the pre-Super Bowl party performer 's new blue 'do — and the absence of Russell Brand on her arm — what can we expect from the chart-topper this Sunday? (A [...]
Australian upstart Iggy Azalea returned to Hollywood for her first live performance in town since she announced plans for her major-label debut, The New Classic , due later this year. Sporting a black Tupac-emblazoned tank top and her signature flying ponytail, Iggy launched into her late-night set at Hollywood's Dim Mak Studios with "Hello", the first track off her buzzy Ignorant Art mixtape. Through a raucous 45-minute set, she managed to throw "Superior P***y" t-shirts — and cash — into the crowd, invited fans on-stage for a dance-off, and unveiled a new song, apparently called "Picture Me [...]
Amid (now confirmed ) rumors of her canceled tour, Lana Del Rey took the stage at Hollywood's Amoeba Music last night. The polarizing pop star kept true to her "Gangsta Nancy Sinatra" image by rocking a silver tooth with her jeans and white collared shirt during her performances of "Born To Die" , "Video Games" , "Million Dollar Man" and "Without You". Get up close with the sultry siren (for what may be one of her final live gigs) and head here for our review of Lana's show. Then tell us [...]
Beyoncé has grown from a Child of Destiny to the mother of Blue Ivy right before our very eyes. And as the pop star has matured (both in age and in music), so has her sense of fashion. Nowhere is this more evident than in her sartorial choices at the Grammy Awards . Check out Bey's ever-transforming style from her girl-group days sporting colorfully campy matching outfits to the epitome of chic and sexy in her solo career. Tell us below (or on Facebook and Twitter ) if you think Beyoncé's red carpet looks have [...]
Preview the work of art that is 'Jackson Pollock', the new track from Maffew Ragazino and Das Racist
Beyonce stepped out in New York City last night for the first time since the birth of her daughter Blue Ivy (a.k.a. the coolest infant on planet Earth ). The soon-to-be monumental pop star celebrated husband Jay-Z's Carnegie Hall benefit of the United Way of New York City and the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation at Hova's 40/40 club. (Good thing they addressed all those health code violations .) Beyonce looked even better than most women do pre -pregnancy as she rocked a coral, curve-hugging dress. Check out the 30-year-old's first public appearance since becoming a [...]
We've said it before, and we'll say it again - as far as touring line-ups go, the combination of Mastodon, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Red Fang has set the bar for 2012. Given that Mastodon put out the Thrash Hits Album of 2011 , The Dillinger Escape Plan put out the Thrash Hits album of 2010 , and Red Fang are one of our favourite up'n'coming crushers, it's gonna take one heck of a tour to top this. When the tour arrived in Manchester, our man [...]
Of all the artists we're dying to see make their grand entrance on the red carpet during the 2012 Grammy Awards , Christina Aguilera just about tops our list. In an attempt to guess how The Voice coach (and Grammy nominee ) will dazzle us on Sunday, we've decided to take a look back at Xtina's Grammy looks from years past. From sequins and feathers to chic and downright outrageous, we've documented the pop star's long and winding fashion evolution from her various appearances during music's biggest night. Click through and give us [...]
Download 'You Don't Know', one of the tracks of Ed Sheeran and Yelawolf's upcoming collaboration EP titled 'Slumdon Bridge' out on the 14th of February
Even if you're a Giants fan ( like Nicki Minaj ), you'd have to agree that the true winner of last night's Super Bowl was Madonna's halftime show . The Queen not only kept to her promise of pom poms , she Vogued like a futuristic Cleopatra (with choreography from So You Think You Can Dance 's Tabitha and Napoleon D'Uomo), shuffled in ultra high heels alongside LMFAO, gave us all her luvin' , then sent us on our way with a prayer for World Peace with help from Cee Lo Green and a choir, in a [...]

It was packed from wall to wall for Wally De Backer on Thursday night at the El Rey Theatre. Known better by his stage name, Gotye provided an hour-and-a-half high for those lucky enough to get their hands on tickets to the sold-out show. Initially only a megastar on his home turf, the Australian multi-instrumentalist quickly rose to international fame during the last year. His hit single "Somebody That I Used to Know" featuring New Zealand's Kimbra had much to do with it, but as soon as Gotye walked on to stage it was apparent that [...]
Following a solid performance on Letterman last night, Lana Del Rey was spotted riding the subway in New York City today. Looking far more like Lizzy Grant than her British Vogue -covering alter ego , the Born To Die singer was dressed in denim, flats, a Formula 1 racing jacket and a backwards cap. Was the rising indie star perhaps off to her steady babysitting gig ? Check out pics of Lana buying a MetroCard looking as if she "found god — in [...]
