OoOoOoMG!
We have been WAITING for No Doubt's return for YEARS!!
We mean, as soon as we saw their announcement for the new album release date, we lit up with excitement!
Now they've confirmed their performance for the Teen Choice Awards in July!! AAHHH!!!
The band tweeted:
You may have heard the rumors... and yes, we will be performing on the Teen Choice Awards in July!!!
Definitely lookin' forward to seeing which song they choose!!
And actually, Tony Kanal just let us into their recording studio via tweet:
@nodoubt just did a car test of the @markspikestent "Looking Hot" mix right now. sounds incredible! lunch and then onto mixing "Heaven"
Don't tease us like that, Tony!! Let us hear a sample!!
Seriously, we may just die of anticipation. July is too far away.
And September 25 is WAYYY too far away!!! Give us something now!!
Now this is the story all about how Will Smith’s life got flipped, turned upside-down return to rapping blew our MINDS on Wednesday!!
It might have been the Men in Black III premiere but Big Willie was all about reclaiming his throne as The Freshest Prince of Bel Air Fleet Street.
Aboard a decommissioned aircraft carrier docked in NYC, the super-slapperstar took the mic and spat some rhymes at us (above) with his old partner DJ Jazzy Jeff -- including their 1991 Grammy-winner Summertime.
Ahmaaaazing!
Willow and Jaden Smith also took the stage next to Daddy, with The Karate Kid even doing some freestyling of his own!
We LOVE this extroverted family!!
MIB3 goes nationwide on Friday and we will certainly keep U posted on any DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince reunion tours!
We've been anxiously awaiting this ever since we heard the incredible news that Darren Criss would be re-joining his former Team StarKid onstage for select dates during their current Apocalyptour, and believe us when we say he does NOT disappoint!
That's right, our heart's true desire took the stage last night at El Lay's House Of Blues to warm up the crowd before his friends performance, and played some absolutely INCREDIBLE acoustic versions of his original material, including our personal favorite, Don't You!
Ch-ch-ch-check it out (above)!
WOW! Not ONE single cover during his entire set?! He must be really trying to push his own material - of which we COMPLETELY, 100% approve!
It's time to get that debut album out, boy!
You can check out him also belting out It's Over Now from Little White Lie, as well as him re-joining StarKid for Dress & Tie...AFTER THE JUMP!
And it’s more tenderly vulnerable than dark!
We are besotted by Kelly Clarkson’s new super relatable, haunting single Dark Side, and its music video is JUST as moving as the song it represents!
Kelly killed this tune at the Billboard Music Awards this past Sunday, and may we just say, she is looking svelte and supple!
We adore you Kells! You will ALWAYS be our American Sweetheart.
Tap into your Dark Side (above) and prepare yourself for Kelly's formidable power on ABC’s Duets!
Where's the love for the ladies?!
While we definitely send our congratz to Phillip Phillips for his season 11 win, we can't help but wonder why Jessica didn't -- especially with that PHENOMENAL voice of hers!
Had 16 year old Jessica Sanchez won American Idol last night, she would've been the FIRST girl to take the crown since Jordin Sparks did in 2007, at age 17!
If you haven't been keeping up this season, then you HAVE to check out the video (above) from last night's finale, of Jessica singing And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going with Jennifer Holliday! JENNIFER HOLLIDAY! We're blown away!!
Gurl can SANG!!!! What a powerhouse!
We wish the best for both Phil and Jessica's careers!!
Now, for Season 12 -- let's get a girl winner!
It was one of the most innovative and original tracks off of his album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and now, over a year since its release, Kanye West has dropped an equally ambitious a music video for Lost In The World!
Ch-ch-check out the visual mind-trip, also featuring a brilliantly-utilized sample from Bon Iver's Lost In The Woods, for yourself (above)!
Wow! We're just so taken with this!
It's also inneresting to note, however, that this is coming out now, only weeks after director Ruth Hogben premiered her video re-imagining of the song!
Ch-ch-check out that one HERE, as well!
What do U guys think? Which version do U prefer??
Sounds like Kelly Clarkson’s relationship might be damaging her career!
Kelly, who’s currently dating talent manager AND Reba McEntire’s stepson, Brandon Blackstock, says her BF is giving her writer’s block!
The Dark Side songstress confessed:
“It’s killing me. I’m trying to write a tough song and it is coming out like butterflies and rainbows. It’s ruining my creativity. I’m writing all this happy [stuff] … People are going to be, like, ‘What the hell happened to you.’ It has been really difficult. I love it. It’s an awesome problem to have.”
We would definitely say so, Kel! LOLz!
It’s really great to hear that Kelly is in a good relationship and we’re happy that she’s FINALLY sharing some snippets of her personal life!
Here’s to even more butterflies and rainbows for Kelly and Brandon!
Don't forget to tune into the premiere of her new show Duets this Thursday on ABC!

The video, compiled of old footage of Robin and his brothers, is Barry’s only public statement on the tragic occurance, as the Bee Gee is obviously in a state of deep reflection.
Many fans of Robin have paid their respects in various ways, but Barry's tribute evokes an unparalleled emotional response.

Wow. These went FAST!
The 11th Austin City Limits Music Festival has sold out - less than a DAY before the tickets went on sale to the public, which was this morning at 10am!
And even by then, single-day tickets for the Friday and Saturday dates, October 12th and 13th, were already snagged up!
Don't feel too bad though! Early Bird passes were sold last September fresh on the heels of the 2011 dates, and members of the e-list bought all the three-day passes yesterday in a special 24-hour pre-sale.
But FYI - if you want to dish out some serious money, there are STILL a limited number of VIP Passes, Platinum Passes and Travel Packages!
But honestly, with the line-up they secured this year - which features Red Hot Chili Peppers, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, The Black Keys, Jack White, Florence + The Machine - we can't say we're too surprised!
Zilker Park is going to be BAD-ASS come this October!
