The 20-year-old pop singer said she and the 21-year-old Carter, who dated for three years, didn’t talk at first after breaking up in October, but now they’re friends again. “We learned a lot together. We went through so much at such a young age,” Ford told The Associated Press. “We were put in front of all these people so quickly and… Read more »

Chainsaw-wielding U.S. rapper Eminem says he is doing it all for his 5-year-old daughter. He may sing about “murdering my baby’s mother” but he doesn’t really mean it – and he is busy saving money so daughter Hailie can go to college one day. The Grammy Award-winning rapper, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, has stirred controversy worldwide. While critics say his lyrics are violent, homophobic and misogynistic, his fans say they are witty and poignant. “Everything that I am doing right now is for Hailie. The money. The money – it’s for her college,” the rapper told… Read more »

It’s been 25 years since he graced the tube as a cartoon Jackson, but the Associated Press, reports that Michael Jackson is returning to his “picture”-esque roots with his role in The Way of the Unicorn, The Endangered One.

Once a punk rock outcast who was locked up in a psych ward, Iggy Pop is now a celebrity, a Reebok model who rubs shoulders with the cream of society. But his elevated status does not stop him from noticing the absurdity of the situation, as he told Reuters in a recent interview: the kid raised in a Michigan trailer park is often the center of attention at various phoney-baloney shindigs. “Occasionally I’ll go to one of these VIP affairs or parties, and I always sorta look around thinking, ‘My God, how shallow and crass these people are! Not like… Read more »

Evan and Jaron Lowenstein are sitting in a restaurant talking about the boy-band thing – an image they say has been pinned on them by teen magazines and their promotional pairings with teen pop singers. The good-looking, clean-cut twins – known simply as Evan and Jaron – say they don’t want that kind of attention. Then two women come up to their table and interrupt to ask if they are the singing twin brothers – the ones who sing THAT song on the radio all the time. “My daughter just loves you…. She’s 12,” says one woman. Afterward, Jaron sighs.… Read more »

He couldn’t have been more eager to talk about Live’s fifth album, V, which comes out September 18. Every time frontman Ed Kowalczyk started to explain the creative process for the disc, though, a Chihuahua circled his feet and yapped noisily. “Will you just shut up?” the singer snapped at the dog, momentarily breaking his Zen-like disposition. “She’s a girl and we fixed her,” he continued. “They say sometimes after you fix them they get all barky.” The animal is one of three dogs that circulate through Kowalczyk’s Los Angeles house, where he lives with his wife, Erin, when he’s… Read more »

It’s unfortunate when a single event or vibe during a show taints your experience enjoying the acts that are performing the music you respect and love. Last night’s (8/9) Mayan show in Los Angeles had all the makings of an incredible happening, especially for those in the SoCal dance community, and for many it probably was. Orange County’s Uberzone was opening for hometown boys The Crystal Method, whose latest album, Tweekend (Interscope), came out with impressive sales at Virgin Megastores the week before. New LA resident Detroit’s Static Revenger was spinning in between sets. Uberzone’s set proved to be a… Read more »

The A.J. McLean who entered rehab for alcohol abuse and depression isn’t the real A.J. McLean, his mother says. Denise McLean, the Backstreet Boy’s mother, still calls her 23-year-old son “Alex,” and recalls that as a little boy, he dreamed of stardom. “A.J. is the bad boy, crazy boy on stage that… does, you know, makes all those pelvic thrusts and does all this stuff to drive the girls crazy,” she says in an interview with ABC News’ “20/20,” scheduled to air at 10 p.m. EDT Friday. “And A.J. is the one that got the tattoos, and A.J.’s the one… Read more »

The seductive R&B star, along with fellow musicians Macy Gray, Jill Scott and Zap Mama, served up five hours of sultry, come-hither jams to a 15,000-plus capacity crowd at the DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan, Wednesday. “Ladies, women, bitches, hos, hoochie mamas,” Gray addressed the crowd, “we’re here to celebrate one of the most magnificent, most miraculous, things ever created. We want to celebrate the dick!” With many male audience members covering their faces, Gray then led the women in the house in a chant of, “Dick, dick, dick…” Unrestrained sexuality was the theme of the festival, meant… Read more »
