  • Justin Bieber Irked By Black Keys Drummer, Says He Should Be ‘Slapped Around’

    Justin Bieber (Photo: Theo Wargo)If you haven't heard by now: Justin Bieber is upset that he was shut out of the 2013 Grammys. And the superstar isn’t taking kindly to those who suggest he really doesn’t have much to complain about.

    When Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney—whose band scooped up four Grammy Awards on Sunday—told TMZ that Bieber should be happy because “The Grammys are for music, not money…he’s making a lot of money,” the Biebs responded swiftly on Twitter.

    “The black keys drummer should be slapped around,” he tweeted.

    Bieber softened his statement somewhat by adding “haha” at the end, but…well, we all know how these sorts of social media wars go.

    Fan response was swift, with the expected plentiful support from Beliebers—although many took Bieber to task for being rude and promoting violence.

    Patrick Carney (Photo: Jason LaVeris)For his part, Carney responded to Bieber’s tweet with a frowning emoticon, following it with a string of retweets from angry Bieber fans. Sentiments ranged from mere disapproval (“I no longer like you nor do I like your band”) to actual rage (“HE NEEDS A PUNCH IN THE FACE WITH A BRICK,” read one).

  • Taylor Swift Styles Up Like…Harry Styles!

    Taylor Swift may have insinuated during her biting Grammys performance Sunday that she is “never ever getting back together” with her ex, One Direction’s Harry Styles. That doesn’t mean she’s forgotten him, however. Quite the contrary: She’s even dressing like him now.

    Swift chose an outfit for the filming of her newest video that mirrors her ex’s fashion sense almost exactly. She nailed every detail of Style’s signature casual look: baggy sweater, tight black jeans, ankle boots….and, of course, the knit beanie on top to cover those fabulous locks. Compare for yourselves!

  • Who’s That Dude Who Stage-Crashed Adele’s Grammy Win?

    Guess who doesn't belong? (Photo: Kevork Djansezian)If you thought your eyes were playing tricks on you when Adele took the 2013 Grammys stage to accept her best pop solo performance award--rest assured, that really was a random stage crasher you saw horning in on the action.

    Okay, so he wasn't as flashy as 1998's "Soy Bomb," who essentially stole Bob Dylan's Grammy performance--or, for that matter, Kanye West, who bodily wrenched a VMA out of Taylor Swift's unwitting hands in 2009. However, the man who calmly stood next to presenters Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull has his own cache: He's a world-famous stage crasher!

  • Exclusive! Aaron Neville Debuts Romantic New Video, ‘Pledging My Love’

    Need something romantic to get you in the mood for Valentine's Day this week? Legendary vocalist Aaron Neville has just the thing to put you in a warm and fuzzy state of mind--this exclusive premiere of his clip for "Pledging My Love," which he shot as part of the "1 Mic, 1 Take" series filmed at the famed Capitol Studios in Hollywood.

    As Neville himself says, "Here's a happy Valentine's song for you." The gentle 1950s song of devotion sounds just as fresh today as when Neville popularized it in the '80s. True love never goes out of style...see it first on Yahoo! Music!

    This isn't the first song Neville has performed for the series. In keeping with the holiday theme, he did a rendition of "The Christmas Song" in December, which you can check out here. Neville has just released his latest album, My True Story, which holds the distinction of being his highest-charting album to date over his five-decade career.

  • Blake Shelton Announces New Album, Debuts New Video, Talks New Season Of ‘Voice’

    Anyone out there hankering for a new Blake Shelton record? The country superstar and Voice coach has one just about ready for you, so sit tight! Shelton revealed Monday on the Today Show that his new set, titled Based On A True Story..., will hit stores March 26.

    Shelton also took the opportunity to debut his brand-new video, “Sure Be Cool If You Did,” while hanging with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb.

    True to form, the singer enjoyed some fun bantering with the hosts during his appearance, with a few serious subjects thrown in. When asked how he felt about his remarkably successful 2012, Shelton demurred, “I tend not to think too hard about this stuff--because once I start thinking about stuff, I tend to screw it up!”

    He also had high praise for new Voice coaches Shakira and Usher, who replace the departing Christina Aguilera and Cee-Lo. “I couldn’t believe it when I heard they were gonna do it,” Shelton enthused. “I thought there’s no way we could get people like that on the

  • Taylor Swift Unleashed at Grammys: Five Reasons She’s Better Without a Boyfriend

    Taylor Swift may have been making glum headlines in the past few weeks for her most recent breakup—with One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles—which reportedly did a number on her spirit. However, the blond superstar showed Sunday night at the 55th annual Grammy Awards that she’s back in fine form as a single girl.

    Weren’t taking notes during the telecast? Here’s five things the famous "hopeless romantic" did to prove that she doesn’t need a boyfriend by her side to have a ton of fun:

    Photo: Jason MerrittRed carpet edginess: Swift arrived at the Grammys sending clear intent right off the bat that she wasn’t going to play the heartbroken card. Unlike the demure, dark, and conservative gown she wore at the Golden Globes just a couple weeks ago, Swift’s daringly cut gold-and-white Grammy gown fairly screamed “Let’s get this party started!”

    We are never getting back together—like ever: Swift stunned the Grammy audience with her fierce opening performance, a fantasy-come-to-life Alice In Wonderland-esque romp

  • Katy Perry’s Decolletage Wows Grammy Crowd…Except For One Star Couple

    Katy Perry drew lots of stares—both admiring and incredulous-- on the 2013 Grammys red carpet for her daring, bosom-baring green gown. One power couple at the show was definitely underwhelmed by Perry’s overwhelming assets, however, and they weren’t afraid to show it.

    Yup, that’s Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi checking out Perry’s décolletage—DeGeneres looking horrified, DeRossi amused.

    We’re pretty sure the pair were merely hamming it up for a photo op, but if they weren’t…sorry Katy, that just wasn’t very nice. Even if you did blatantly violate the Grammy wardrobe mandate, which was emailed earlier this week by CBS' standards and practices department and stated in part "please be sure … female breasts are adequately covered.”

    The 55th Annual Grammy Awards aired live Sunday from Los Angeles's Staples Center. For a list of winners, click here.

  • Did Taylor Swift Take A Shot At Ex Harry Styles During Grammys Opening Number?

    Okay, so everyone knows that Taylor Swift has no problem calling out ex-boyfriends in her songs. The superstar made one of her most pointed barbs in history Sunday night at the 55th annual Grammy Awards, however, when she took what appeared to be an unmistakable shot at One Direction’s Harry Styles during her opening number.

    Swift used the spoken bridge of her hit “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” to seemingly slam her recent ex Styles, abruptly switching into an exaggerated English accent (Styles is British). “So he calls me up and he’s like ‘Ah still louve you,’” she drawled. “And I’m like 'I’m sorry, I’m busy opening up the Grammys…and we are never getting back together!'” Bam.

    In addition to the indirect but hard-to-miss dis, Swift’s performance was aggressive in general. Her stage show featured a harried-looking actor playing the part of crushed boyfriend—whom a circus-ringmaster-garbed Swift spun around on a wheel, kicked over, and generally treated fiercely.

    This isn’t

  • Chris Brown Crashes Car, Blames Paparazzi, One Day Before Grammys

    Chris Brown (Photo: Angela Weiss)It's not an easy week to be Chris Brown, to say the least. The singer-rapper had a particularly nasty Saturday, when he crashed his car in Los Angeles one day before the 2013 Grammy Awards ceremony.

    Brown was reportedly driving around Beverly Hills on his way to a charity event when he was cut off due to an aggressive approach by two vehicles--apparently paparazzi--who caused him to lose control of his black Porsche and slam it into a wall.

    Nobody was hurt, but Brown's car was reportedly totaled and he requested it be towed off site. Local police are still investigating the incident.

    The entire week has been difficult for Brown, as the 23-year-old has already appeared in court Wednesday facing allegations that he has violated his probation issued over his 2009 felony assault of girlfriend and fellow R&B superstar Rihanna. Additionally, the court examined whether he'd completed his appointed community labor as a result of the same charge.
