Keep it comin', you guys! As Sevyn Streeter's sensual new video for "It Won't Stop" featuring Chris Brown neared its end, we found ourselves wishing it actually wouldn't stop.

by Jenna Hally Rubenstein | October 11, 2013 at 8:00 pm

JoJo OWNED her Nirvana cover during a recent show in Seattle. Here's the thing: JoJo and I snuggled once a while back, and I still can't stop talking about it. (Like, seriously, my friends have stopped inviting me to parties.) Now, as if to take my JoJo Stan-ship to heights I didn't even think existed, my girl […]

by Jenna Hally Rubenstein | October 11, 2013 at 7:30 pm

Emblem3 just wanna go home in their "3000 Miles" video. Sure, the muscular Gods that comprise Emblem3 may have nabbed the coveted opening slot on Selena Gomez's "Stars Dance" World Tour, but that doesn't mean the trio doesn't occasionally get sleepaway camp-style homesick after being on the road for so long! Cue the boys' emotional full-length video […]

More like "Man-night Man-ories," amirite?? In case you haven't seen One Direction's recently unveiled Midnight Memories album cover, BEHOLD! Aside from the fact that this signals the impending next era of Directioner stanning, we're mostly excited about the fact that Louis, Zayn, Liam, Harry, and Niall all look like unequivocable, grown-ass MEN in the photo.

Hayley Williams’ Unsurprisingly Smart Take On The Miley Cyrus/ Sinead O’Connor Beef: ‘You Just Can’t Tell Anyone What’s Right For Their Life’ (VIDEO)
by Tamar Anitai | October 11, 2013 at 5:51 pm

Words to live by, basically. If you'd told me 23 years ago when I was busy worshipping the single, beguiling tear streaming down Saint Sinead O'Connor's face that one day she'd be embroiled in a weird war of words with Miley Cyrus regarding stripping and twerking, I would've been like: 1.) Dude, Miley Cyrus isn't […]

by John Walker | October 11, 2013 at 5:30 pm

Azealia has taken Britney's "Work!" mantra to staggering new heights. Late last night, Azealia Banks dropped a killer remix of Britney Spears' ode to neo-classical economic theory/ being flawless, "Work B*tch," and the pairing is simply a match made in ballroom heaven. As you remember, Azealia is a HUGE "Paris Is Burning" fan, even sampling […]

Deap Vally Turn The ‘Walk Of Shame’ Into A Stride Of Pride In Their Gritty New Video
by Rachel Brodsky | October 11, 2013 at 4:30 pm

Deap Vally give approximately zero effs as they take a "Walk Of Shame." One of the things we love most about L.A. garage rock duo Deap Vally is their complete and utter lack of f**k-giving. Seriously, we thought the girls were unapologetic about doing things that are "bad for my body" in their previous single, […]

by Jenna Hally Rubenstein | October 11, 2013 at 3:30 pm

Janelle Monáe and Miguel need to get a room. After about five seconds of listening to Janelle Monáe and Miguel's steamy The Electric Lady collaboration, "Primetime," we had a strong feeling that its accompanying video would be something you'd wanna watch in private. (Or at least with your boyfriend lurking nearby, ready to "hang out," if y'all know what I […]

by Jenna Hally Rubenstein | October 11, 2013 at 2:10 pm

Make sure she can breathe, Diddy! Look, it's not like we didn't already know that Diddy and Cassie were an item. It's just that unlike some other PDA-heavy couples (lookin' directly at you, snuggly-as-eff Danielle and Kevin Jonas), Cassie and her Bad Boy Records bossman/ IRL man-man have traditionally kept their whole romantic sitch on the down-low. Until […]

by Jenna Hally Rubenstein | October 10, 2013 at 10:00 pm

Five bucks says she's mid-twerk in this photo. Wasn't it just last week that we caught Ke$ha with her back arched, bare ass out, multicolored thong visible, knee-deep in twerk? Isn't it amazing how when the air gets just a liiiiiittle bit crisper, K-dolla bundles up like she's auditioning for the lead role in a […]
