Justin Bieber Just Had Sex

At least that's what this picture looks like!

Tween heartthrob Justin Bieber graces the latest cover of Rolling Stone Magazine looking all ravished and disheveled.

...Umm isn't he like 16? Isn't this a little inappropriate? Isn't this JUST like when Britney posed with a Telly Tubby back in '99 lying in her underwear on a satin sheet?

No, not really? Ok then. Enjoy!

Billboard Hits 1,000th #1 with the Help of Lady Gaga


The Billboard Charts just hit a HUGE milestone, and a lot of thanks are in order to the one and only Lady Gaga.

Her latest single "Born this Way" roared onto the charts this week, debuting at #1 and becoming the chart's 1,000th chart topper in the history of the Billboard 100 Chart.

That's a pretty big honor!

The single also shattered a couple major records while on its way to the coveted 1,000th, becoming just the 19th song in history to debut at the top, (Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" was the 18th just 5 weeks ago), and also beating Spears' record for the biggest digital debut by a female ever. Gaga sold 448,000 digital copies of "Born this Way", besting Spears' 411,000 total HIAM garnered in January.

Hmm...not TOO happy she beat our girl Brit's record, but Gaga still has a long way to go to match her 11+ year career.

"Born this Way" also made a record-breaking start on the airplay charts, surging at #6 on the Radio Charts, besting Janet Jackson's previous best of #7 when she premiered "All for You" in 2001.

Here's a rundown of this week's top 10 singles, and again, congrats to Lady Gaga!!

1. Lady Gaga "Born this Way"

2. Katy Perry "Firework"

3. Bruno Mars "Grenade"

4. Wiz Khalifa "Black and Yellow"

5. Pink "F**kin' Perfect"

6. Enrique Iglesias "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)"

7. Cee-Lo "F**k You"

8. Rihanna "S&M"

9. Black Eyed Peas "The Time (Dirty Bit)"

10. Britney Spears "Hold It Against Me"

Grammy Predictions: Part 4


One of my favorite categories at the Grammy Awards is Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, because usualllly my fave songs are nominated!

This year, the category runs the gamut of pop queens to sultry piano songstresses. Here are the nominees:

Sara Bareilles "King of Anything"

Beyonce "Halo (Live)"

Norah Jones "Chasing Pirates"

Lady Gaga "Bad Romance"

Katy Perry "Teenage Dream"

Who Will Win: "Bad Romance" was inescapable this year, and I think that Grammy voters will want to make up for the fact that neither two of the awards she won last year were televised. Plus, it's a pretty AWESOME song.

Who Should Win: "Bad Romance". I loved Sara Bareilles' "King of Anything", and I wouldn't mind seeing her scoop up the gold. Beyonce has won a ridiculous 16 Grammys, and this "live" version isn't anything special. Norah Jones (another Grammy fave) has been somewhat low key as of lately, and "Chasing Pirates" doesn't stack up to "Don't Know Why" or even "Sunrise".

Who do you think will walk award with the Grammy?

The Roommate #1 in Another Dreary Box Office Weekend


In another blah weekend at the Box Office, Leighton Meester's horror flick The Roommate came out on top with a reported $15.6 million.

The debut is not bad for the film, which had a budget of around $16 million, but it was another down weekend for the U.S. box office, that hasn't seen any big numbers in months.

Coming in behind The Roommate is the James-Cameron-produced Sanctum, which earned only $9.2 million, (a far cry from the record-breaking Avatar, but then again, there weren't any sexually active blue aliens in this flick.

Here's a rundown of this weekend's top 10 movies:

1. The Roommate ($15.6 million)
2. Sanctum ($9.2 million)
3. No Strings Attached ($8.4 million)
4. The King's Speech ($8.3 million)
5. The Green Hornet ($6.1 million)
6. The Rite ($5.6 million)
7. The Mechanic ($5.4 million)
8. True Grit ($4.8 million)
9. The Dilemma ($3.45 million)
10. Black Swan ($3.4 million)

It's the Big 4-7 for The Big C's Laura Linney

The Big C is one of my fave new shows on Showtime, and one of my favorite actresses in the beautiful Laura Linney, who turns 47 today!!

The actress, (who won the Golden Globe this year for her portrayal of Cathy Jamison, a mother who was diagnosed with cancer), has been one of the most consistent actresses in both film, television and stage, and it looks like with of the success of her show, she's still just getting started!!

So Happy Birthday L.L., celebrate, have a cocktail, and enjoy this fabulous day!!

We're All Still Gaga for Gaga


The Grammys are next weekend, and I'm sure you're all buzzing with excitement and predicting who's going to win and what everyone is going to where and who's going to perform...that might just be me.

BUT, the More Than Musiq poll asking you to vote for your pick of who should win Album of the Year is officially closed, and the top dog that you chose to take home the gold iss....


Kind of an obvious pick, but still much deserved. The Fame Monster garnered 33% of the votes, nudging out the runner-up, Eminem's Recovery, which earned 25%.

The results are quite in line with most critic's prediction, who say that Gaga and Em are definitely the two front runners to take home the top prize. My money's on Eminem still, but I wouldn't be surprised if Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta pulled an upset.

Stay tuned for another MTM poll, and more Grammy predictions leading up to the big day!

Old School Jam of the Day


On this dreary Saturday morning in NYC I happened to be shuffling my iPod and stumbled upon this CLASSIC adult contemporary pop gem!

"I Love You Always Forever" was Donna Lewis' one hit, and boy was it a big one. The song spent 9 weeks at #2 on the Hot 100 back in 1996 (behind none other than "The Macarena") and still continues to be a standard on the AC charts.

She faded into obscurity shortly after she hit it big, but we will always remember this little pop ditty that was inescapable back in the day.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the wonderful pop-tastic sounds of "I Love You Always Forever".
