Newly minted 12-year-old Youtube sensation Greyson Michael Chance has just gotten signed to a record deal with Interscope Records. That was fast!

It was said that music producer and Interscope chairman Jimmy Iovine nailed the deal with Greyson before anyone else from other labels could even meet with him.

They must’ve offered him a sweet deal! I hope he stays humble. Like Lady Gaga told him, “Stay focused and stay away from girls!”

Are you surprised that he got a record deal that quickly?

After his performance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Justin Bieber talked backstage about his appearance on the show, what he looks for in a girl and what he has on his wall.

The interviewer said, “Congrats on your first time on the Oprah show. How did it feel?”

Justin replied, “Thank you. It felt great, I was really glad to come out here and you know, do what I love to do and being able to do it on Oprah was amazing.”

The interviewer said, “You and your mom seem really close, tell us what you love most about her.”

Justin said, “I love that she’s – she’s just a really strong woman. She’s, ya know, been there since day one and ya know, and just wanted me to be the best person I can possibly be. She doesn’t care about the money, the fame, she just wants to be my mom.”

And what he looks for in a girl? He said, “My perfect girl? Well, she has to be to be like, a nice person, someone I can talk to, ’cause at the end of the day, you have the hottest girl in the world, but if you can’t sit there and have a conversation with her, it’s going to be terrible.”

When asked who he wants to work with in the future, the Biebz responded, “I’d love to work with Beyonce. I would love to work with Kanye West, that would be cool. Jay-Z.” (continue reading…)

On April 29th, country/pop crossover Sons Of Silvia played their new hit song, Love Left To Lose. After being introduced by country superstar and American Idol alum Carrie Underwood, in support of their new album, Revelation.

For more information on the band, check out their official website here. To download their album on iTunes, click here.

The band is going on tour with Underwood starting next week. Tour dates and video after the jump! (continue reading…)

Kesha has just released her second video, Your Love Is My Drug, and it’s insanely crappy. And the song is awful, too.

First, she’s in a desert, then it’s cartoon:30 and afterward, she’s a glow in the dark mess.

Watch for yourself: (continue reading…)

Is there something wrong with Billy Ray Cyrus that he doesn’t see his daughter’s grinding video as offensive — or even inappropriate?

He blew off the controversy saying, “It’s what people her age do.”

Wait, what? So it’s normal for 16-year-old girls to grind all over a 45-year-old man who’s been drinking. I’m feeling that Chris Hansen needs to tell Billy to “have a seat right there.”

He went on to add that she was just “having fun”.

The future is laid out for little Noah Cyrus, isn’t it? I hope she doesn’t grow up to be a stripper singer like her sister, if that’s what 16-year-olds do.

Tila Tequila performed at her album release party looking like this and if you have yet to listen to her music, then save your ears the agony. Seriously, it’s that bad.

This vapid little midget trainwreck posed on the red carpet with two strappy belt-like things covering her chest and not much else. Oh yeah, she totally ripped off Miley Cyrus’ bird wing, after ripping on her for her similar costume for Can’t Be Tamed.

If you think this broad can sing, then I urge you to have a listen, after the jump! (continue reading…)

No Doubt has taken to their official Twitter page to confirm the news that they are recording a new album together.

The band tweeted, “The 4 of us are 2gethr in Hllywd today- 2 start recording the first batch of new ND songs!”

Woot! I can’t wait. I love No Doubt and I’m glad they have time to get together to produce something new.

Robert Pattinson visited Oprah Winfrey for her show, which airs tomorrow afternoon. Besides telling Oprah, jokingly, that Kristen Stewart is pregnant, he also said that he wanted to be a rapper growing up.

When talking about how he puts on the American accent for Edward Cullen, he said that it’s not that hard because he wanted to be a rapper when he was a teenager.

He said, “I used to want to be a rapper when I was, like, 14. I grew up watching American movies and stuff.”

Well, we do know that he can sing. Maybe a rap career wouldn’t be too far off? 50 Cent is interested, that’s for sure.

Miley Cyrus gave producer Adam Shankman one heck of a lap dance, during the wrap party for their movie, The Last Song. That is, if she’s working hard for the money and he’s paying. So gross.

She was taped grinding all over him. Note, in this video, she is sixteen-years-old and he is 45. I blame her parents, of which seem to be nowhere to be found.

Watch the video: (continue reading…)
