Jennifer Lopez Gets A Hand From Lady Gaga On 'Hypnotico'

Good for Jennifer Lopez. She was named Most Beautiful Woman In The World by People magazine, has found a career resurgence as a judge on "American Idol" and has seen "On The Floor," the first track from her upcoming new album, Love?, dominate the charts. Now we have a chance to listen to "Hypnotico," another club-banger off the upcoming album. The song was written by Lady Gaga and produced by RedOne, which are both signs that the song should be dope. And guess what? It's DOPE.

"Hypnotico" seems to continue right where J. Lo's 1999 hit "Waiting For Tonight" left off, i.e. making us want to put on our short shorts and dance. The thump that rides the song's undercurrent of ethereal echoes and a group chant of the chorus ("Hyp-not/hyp-not-ico!") is a pretty solid reminder that this is most definitely a Gaga jam, which quickly gained J. Lo's approval. "She’s a great songwriter," Lopez told Rolling Stone magazine. "I don’t just love her lyrics, but also her melodies."

Let's hope this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Ke$ha Somehow Makes A Comb-Over Look Good, Puts Donald Trump To Shame

Love him or hate him, Donald Trump has parlayed his way from real estate magnate to American household name, thanks to his persistence on demanding time in the spotlight (and on unearthing President Obama's "real" birth certificate). Yet despite attaining that level of attention, Trump still refuses to change his hair. Nobody is quite sure what "style" it is exactly, but somehow Ke$ha successfully paid homage to his weird hair nest at the 28th Annual ASCAP Pop Music Awards last night in Los Angeles.

Ke$ha is a very attractive girl, even when her tousled hair and freckled skin are covered in glitter and mud. So to see her rock a Trump-style comb-over is jarring at first, but then you take in the whole look -- rock star glam meets "The Golden Girls" -- and it's pretty much a home run. A little bit '80s, a little bit Donald Trump (who is actually very '80s), Ke$ha is channeling a sort of retro, ostentatiously wealthy look, and we kinda love it. "Dynasty," anyone?

Now let's just get Ke$ha on "The Celebrity Apprentice" and see what it's like to have her seated opposite Mr. Trump himself. We imagine it would be like one big old circus mirror, although The Donald probably doesn't do glitter.

Justin Bieber: 'Rolling Stone' misquoted controversial rape comment

the on the go buzz justin beiber rolling stone nude controversial quote mis rape abortion korea

The media was buzzing on Wednesday when teen sensation Justin Bieber's Rolling Stone magazine interview was released. The reporter asked the 16-year-old questions about politics, abortion, and abortion in cases of rape.

Why, we're not sure. Does anybody really lose sleep over not knowing Justin Bieber's stance on abortion for rape victims? If you do, you should probably talk to someone.

Turns out that the magazine left out a bit of Bieber's quote. They quoted him as saying, "Um. Well, I think that's really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I guess I haven't been in that position, so I wouldn't be able to judge that." (Duh.)

Some people who obviously didn't have much better to do with their Wednesday zeroed in on his "everything happens for a reason" comment, trying to deduce his opinion on rape from the most cliched line on the book. Sensing the brewing controversy, Rolling Stone apparently did some post-publishing fact-checking, and released a statement today about Bieber's actual quote.

"Due to an editing error, this story originally included an incomplete quote from Justin Bieber," the mag says. "The full quote, his response to whether abortions should be allowed in cases of rape, reads: 'Um. Well, I think that's really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I don't know how that would be a reason. I guess I haven't been in that position, so I wouldn't be able to judge that.'"

Does this change impact your plans to vote Justin Bieber into office?

Oh wait, no. He's not a politician, an activist, or even a voter. So it doesn't really matter at all. Carry on.

It's almost show time!

Prince William and Kate Middleton were ushered into a side entrance of Westminster Abbey on Wednesday night to complete a final run-through of Friday's wedding ceremony.

The twosome arrived in a chauffeur-driven car around 7:30 p.m. with their wedding party, which included Prince Harry, 26, and Pippa Middleton, 27. The rest of Kate's immediate family -- including her parents, Michael and Carole, and brother James -- were also in attendance.

Earlier in the day, Kate, 29, was spotted entering Clarence House through the visitors entrance (she's still a visitor at the royal residence until Friday). When she emerged around 4 p.m., she carried a sizable brown cardboard box -- contents unknown -- into the trunk of her Audi A3.

After re-entering Clarence House, Kate left about an hour later, chatting on her cell phone, warmly greeting a pal, and carrying her own dress bag.

"Everyone's happy," a Clarence House worker told Us Weekly late Wednesday. "The atmosphere is really great!"

Martha Stewart Living First-Quarter Loss Expands

The company's broadcasting unit posted lower financials after a year-ago benefit from a Hallmark Channel license fee.


NEW YORK -- Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia on Wednesday reported a higher first-quarter loss as its broadcasting division swung to a loss after the recognition of a Hallmark Channel license fee had boosted its year-ago performance.

The company posted a quarterly loss of $7.1 million, compared with a loss of $3.9 million in the year-ago period.

Revenue declined slightly from $53.2 million to $52.7 million.

The first quarter of 2010 had included the recognition of $7.2 million in revenue that couldn't be replicated in the latest period, including an approximately $5 million exclusive license fee from Hallmark Channel, which has used MSLO content to establish a lifestyle programming block, the company said. Excluding year-ago one-time revenue items, revenue would have risen 16 percent in the latest period, management said.

MSLO broadcasting revenue declined from $12.1 million to $7.8 million. The year-ago period had included the $5 million Hallmark Channel license fee.

The broadcasting unit swung to a first-quarter operating loss of $1.8 million from a year-ago profit of $3.2 million.

"Our broadcasting team is continuing to build an attractive block of programming on Hallmark Channel," said Charles Koppelman, executive chairman and principal executive officer. On an earnings conference call, he said MSLO remains focused on driving value from the Hallmark partnership, highlighting once again that its success for MSLO should be measured in more ways than just ratings. For example, having The Martha Stewart Show on Hallmark eliminates a distribution fee that the firm used to pay in syndication, and there is room for the development of further shows with Hallmark, he mentioned.

First-quarter merchandising unit revenue at MSLO grew thanks to partnerships with Home Depot and Macy's, and publishing revenue also rose.

"We believe the transformation of the company is beginning to take hold as we seek to broaden our portfolio of engaging content and quality products," said Koppelman. "We feel we're positioned to deliver profitable growth as we execute on our business plan in 2011 and beyond."

On the conference call on Wednesday, management said broadcasting financials will be about flat in the current second quarter compared to the year-ago period. Executives also touted further upside potential for Emeril Lagasse and other company talent. Without providing details, Koppelman said several personalities could be ripe for "brand extensions."

Analysts did not ask about a recent suggestion that MSLO could follow the lead of Playboy Enterprises and go private in a Martha Stewart-led buyout.

No, my caps locks button wasn't stuck. That shouting was INTENTIONAL, because the unofficial owner of FRIDAY herself, Rebecca Black, will be ATTENDING THE O MUSIC AWARDS. No, the O Music Awards aren't Friday. They're Thursday. But surely they'll feel fun fun fun like FRIDAY when the biggest thing to hit the Internet since the SQL Slammer Worm graces us with her presence, live via a secret location in Las Vegas. You laugh, but Rebecca Black has her own BILLBOARD in Los Angeles, and Lady Gaga called her a genius, two things surely you cannot claim. So who's laughing now? (You are? Really? Dude she's 13.

Beyonce Is The Hottest Aerobics Instructor EVER In 'Move Your Body' Video

Beyonce has teamed up with first lady Michelle Obama on her "Let's Move!" initiative in an effort to help fight the rising numbers of childhood obesity in America. She rerecorded her song "Get Me Bodied" from her 2006 album B'Day for the campaign, transforming it into the kid-friendlier "Move Your Body." And now there's a video!

The "Move Your Body" video is basically a four-minute long flash mob, and we're definitely not mad about that. (Everyone loves flash mobs!) The video begins during lunch hour at what looks like a junior high cafeteria. Everything is status quo until Beyonce (in short shorts and green knee-high socks) busts through the doors. Suddenly all the kids are on their feet, following along as Bey leads the group through all kinds of dances, getting their hearts pumping (in more ways than one).

I think it's safe to assume that if your Jazzercise instructor looked more like Beyonce than your Aunt Dolores, we'd probably be the healthiest country in the world. For more information on the "Let's Move!" campaign, check out letsmove.gov.

Katy Perry Defies Logic By Looking Good In Beige Sweatpants

Attention Australia: Katy Perry is in you right now! Although the "Teenage Dream" singer didn't look too excited to be touching down Down Under, she tweeted otherwise: "#THECALIFORNIADREAMSTOUR HAS OFFICIALLY LANDED IN OZ! WE SO EXCITED." All caps? That means she's serious.

You guys know it takes, like, 500 hours to get to Australia, right? (That's an approximate number.) So we're not exactly blaming Katy for not exiting the plane all smiles and waves. She grabbed the nearest towel to hide her face from the paps, and we'd probably do the same thing. If I had cameras up in mah grill after a billion-hour flight, I'd probably just completely give up and put a paper bag over my head.

And how about Katy's wearing a beige sweat suit (actually, a beige CHANEL sweat suit, thankyouverymuch) and yet she still somehow manages to look totally presentable. A beige sweat suit? It's basically like wearing a huge Ugg boot over your entire body. It's just not supposed to work! On anyone! But Katy Perry makes latex dresses work, so I guess we're not that surprised. Stars! They're just like us!

Kelly Osbourne Hails The (Drag) Queen(s)

Last night Kelly Osbourne showed up at the finale party in New York for the third season of the Logo show "RuPaul's Drag Race." If you've been watching the show, you'll note that Kelly is pictured with Mariah, a stunning lady whose run on the show was cut way, way too early (if you ask us). Nevertheless, Kelly was also joined by Adam Lambert and six -- six! -- finalists from the series, including runner-up Manila Luzon and the crowned queen herself, Raja.

Growing up with certifiably iconic rock star dad Ozzy Osbourne, Kelly has surely been around her share of glammed-up ladies and gentlemen in her day. Even if Black Sabbath does fall into the category of "Least Gay Music Ever" (take it from someone who knows), there's still an undeniably fierce rock sensibility that comes with it, so we doubt Mariah or Manila or Raja -- or any of the "Drag Race" game -- shocked Kelly with their billowy hair, juicy lips or "garage doors" (definition: when one wears a giant, monochromatic shade of eye shadow). Anyway, Kelly's fierce, Mariah and Raja are too, everyone wins.

Things are going pretty well for the Smith family right about now. At only 13, Jaden is a legit movie star after kicking ass in the "Karate Kid" reboot that dominated the box office last year. And his younger sister Willow is a legit pop star, with inescapably delicious songs like "Whip My Hair" and "21st Century Girl," proving that even a 10-year-old can create ear candy that comes from a healthy place of confidence, girl power and pride.

Jaden and Willow showed up to the annual White House Easter Egg Roll -- you know, at President Obama's house -- where Willow took to the stage to rock the crowd, her hair whipping back and forth at breakneck speed. Posing for the cameras, Jaden, Willow and their mom, Jada Pinkett Smith, looked pretty damn cool, basically the flyest family ever. If nothing else, taking her kids shopping for clothes must be a blast when Jada is up to the task, considering that her kids have evidently taken close notes from parents, understanding that scrubby sweatpants ain't gonna cut it in the Smith household. Tweed shorts, box-fresh sneakers, and a Snooki-style bump braided into a fierce ponytail? That's how you roll when you're a Smith. You might even say that, in fact, these parents totally do understand.

Madonna's 'True Blue' Album: Now With Indie Cred!

There are some albums that pop up on your shuffle playlist and you never get sick of them, no matter what. Madonna's True Blue happens to be one of those records for us here at Buzzworthy, and it turns out we're not the only ones that feel that way. Indie label Paper Bag Records has released a Madonna tribute album featuring several of the label's artists covering each song from Madonna's hit 1986 record. And it's free!

Electro-pop duo Woodhands start off the record with a synth-y cover of "Papa Don't Preach," and Canadian singer/songwriter Laura Barrett's vocals on "La Isla Bonita" take the original tropical dance jam in a much more haunting direction. But it's indie-pop foursome Winter Gloves' cover of the album's title track, "True Blue," that wins. Guest singer Hannah Georgas' vocals are refreshingly light, and (surprise!) there's a sax breakdown!!!

This True Blue (along with Madonna's original, obviously) is definitely an album to keep front and center in your arsenal. It says, "I appreciate classic pop music," while also saying, "I got this lamp at Urban Outfitters." Madonna tracks + indie cred? There's your ticket to nabbing your next girlfriend, fellas. You're welcome.

LISTEN To The Britney/Ke$ha/Nicki Minaj 'Till The World Ends' Remix

Well look at this. Three of pop's biggest acts in the world right now have come together for a remix of Britney Spears' "Till The World Ends." Britney's club banger remains in full swing, but now on board are hip-hop queen Nicki Minaj and party-pop queen Ke$ha. Although a countdown to the single's drop date remains on each artist's website, it seems that the "Till The World Ends" remix has shown up earlier than expected -- but probably just because it was too good to keep in hiding (or because rabid fans no longer will go to the ends of the Earth to get their hands on a leak (see: "Judas").

The "Till The World Ends" remix doesn't veer too far from Britney's original cut, but Nicki opens the song with her usually dramatic flair, dipping into an alter ego (or two), and even taking the time to name-check Ricki Lake. Not mad at that. Ke$ha's vocals -- a signature combination of singing, rapping and Auto-Tune -- amps up the electricity, making "Till The World Ends" somehow more fun than it already is, which is quite a feat, considering Ke$ha wrote the song.

Of course, we're just hoping Nicki Minaj joins Britney every time she performs the song this summer. And we're hoping for a video. And we're hoping for a feature film. Maybe a line of "Till The World End" remix-branded clothing? Too much?

What's French For 'Beyonce, Covered In Flowers On A Balcony In Paris'?

Beyoncé has been living it up in Paris recently. First, she was spotted at Disneyland Paris wearing a Goofy hat (no, not a "goofy" hat, a Goofy hat -- with the ears, you know?). Now she's following things up by bringing out the "glammo," prettying up (not a difficult task when you're Beyoncé) for a photo shoot that found her giving her best "Evita face." We're not sure if she was necessarily tipping her hat, so to speak, to Madonna's portrayal of Eva Perón, but she sure does make a strong case for a remake.

Once again, Beyoncé proves that she can wear anything, including a see-through skirt and bustier covered in what looks like half a bushel of rose petals. If she can make a Goofy hat look beautiful, dressing like the onetime first lady of Argentina is basically a cakewalk. Of course, we'd be more than happy to hear Beyoncé sing "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina," considering she's already crossed "Dreamgirls" off her list of Famous Musicals To Conquer.

Trump has little shot against Obama in 2012, poll shows

the on the go buzz donald trump barack obama poll 2012 voting win

Donald Trump may be leading a wide field of potential Republican presidential candidates in the polls, but he has little chance of actually reaching the White House, a new poll showed Tuesday.

Some 64 percent of general election voters -- including 46 percent of Republican voters -- would "definitely not vote for" the reality television star, according to a USA Today/Gallup survey. That was the second-worst showing by any potential Republican candidate, behind only former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who 65 percent of the voters said they would not consider voting for.

Fifty percent of voters, including 31 percent of Republicans, said Trump would be a "poor" or "terrible" president.

Trump has shot to the top of the primary polls in recent weeks. A series of surveys, including one from Gallup, showed him leading among Republican voters over other presumptive candidates such as former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

He has been buoyed by tough talk on international economic issues and his persistent questioning of President Barack Obama's birth certificate, an issue that has been avoided by nearly all mainstream Republican politicians.

The poll Tuesday showed that Trump himself has not escaped scrutiny as to where he was born. Only 43 percent of voters said Trump was definitely born in the US, and 7 percent said he definitely or probably was born in another country. Only 38 percent of those surveyed said Obama was definitely born in the US.

The president is facing some strong headwinds himself in his bid for a second term, the poll showed, with some 46 percent of general election voters saying they would "definitely not vote for" him in 2012. That is equal to the numbers for Huckabee and one percentage point higher than Romney, who is one of the only Republicans to have officially formed a presidential exploratory committee

In a telephone interview with FOX News Channel last week, the 64-year-old Trump hinted heavily that he would run.

"In my own mind, I think I've made a decision," he said.

If he announces his candidacy before the May 22 finale of his "Celebrity Apprentice" show, he could run afoul of federal law mandating equal time for candidates on broadcast networks.

In the meantime, Trump has been busy planning trips to a slew of crucial early-voting states. He is set to begin a tour of New Hampshire on Wednesday, to be followed by a speech in Las Vegas Thursday and a fundraising dinner next month in Iowa.

The USA Today/Gallup survey had a margin of error of 4 percentage points.

Prince William & Kate Middleton's Secret Wedding Music Decisions

Christopher Warren-Green with Prince William and Kate Middleton inset


Like most young couples, Prince William and Kate Middleton knew exactly what music they wanted at their wedding. But instead of an iPod or a deejay or even a wedding band, they've got the London Chamber Orchestra.

"The couple have very, very strong ideas of what they want," Christopher Warren-Green, the London Chamber Orchestra's music director and conductor for the occasion, tells PEOPLE. "And after all, at the end of the day, it is their wedding. It's a young couple's wedding, and they should have what they want."

Still, the pair did seek input from those closest to them. "They involved both sets of parents – the Middleton family, as well as the Prince of Wales. And both myself and the organist and choirmaster of Westminster Abbey, of course, are here to advise and to help," Warren-Green says.

So, what can we expect from the music? "I'm terribly sorry," Warren-Green says. "Both Prince William and Catherine really want to try and keep things a surprise."

Warren-Green, 55, who's also music director of the Charlotte, N.C., Symphony, describes himself as "musically acquainted" with Prince Charles for 30 years, and is thrilled to see the young couple planning the rest of their lives together.

"Oh, they complement each other wonderfully," he says. "Prince William has all the great attributes of both his parents. And Catherine is one of the most intelligent, pleasant, bright, funny young women I've ever met. She's going to be a fantastic princess … and an asset, not just to our country but to all the charities and patronages that I'm sure she will be involved in."

Lindsay Lohan Could Serve Just 'Hours' In Jail For Probation Violation

the on the go buzz lindsay lohan hours probation jail rehab court

Lindsay Lohan is appealing her 120-day sentence for being found in violation of her probation, but even without appeal she could serve just "hours" of her sentence, due to prison overcrowding.

"Ms. Lohan would probably do about 20% of her sentence, which would be about 21 days in custody," Steve Whitmore, spokesperson for the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department told us.

"There is overcrowding in the jails, and the California legislature enacted a good time/work time program that was put in place to reduce jail sentences.

"Sentences are significantly reduced for inmates if they obey all rules while they are in custody. Ms. Lohan has always been a very good inmate while she is in custody. She is always extremely cooperative and we have had no problems with her," Whitmore said.

However, a well placed law enforcement source tells US that the actual time served could be just hours: "Lindsay could easily be processed into jail, and there's a very good chance that she could be released within just hours of arriving.

"Instead of doing 120 days, or the reduced 20% sentence, Lindsay could serve only several hours, and then be released. If Lindsay were to surrender on a weekend, when the jails are the busiest, this would be Lindsay's best shot of getting out in no time."

Previously reported Lindsay's appeal could take up to three months to be heard by the Appellate Department of the Los Angeles Superior Court. However, our sources tell us that Lindsay has a very slim chance of having the sentence thrown out at appeal.

Eminem to release EP with rapper Royce da 5'9"

the on the go buzz eminem rapper royce da 5 9

DETROIT – Eminem and Royce da 5'9" are back recording together more than a decade after the Detroit rappers first joined forces.

The pair, who met at a concert in their home city in 1997 and worked together under the name Bad Meets Evil, announced Monday that they're coming out with an EP of new material in June.

One of the songs they recorded in the late 1990s, called "Bad Meets Evil," appeared on Eminem's major label debut, "The Slim Shady LP."

According to a news release distributed Monday by Interscope Records, the rappers pursued solo careers after their initial work together and became embroiled in a feud.

In the years since, Eminem's career has reached superstar levels with tens of millions of records sold and Grammy and Academy Award wins. Royce da 5'9" also has seen success, but on a much smaller scale, with three of his albums charting in the R&B/hip-hop category.

The two mended fences, however, following the shooting death of their mutual friend and fellow rapper Proof in 2006.

"Royce and I started hanging out again and inevitably that led us back into the studio," Eminem said in a statement. "At first we were just seeing where it went without any real goal in mind, but the songs started to come together crazy, so here we are."

Royce da 5'9" said he was "excited to see this project come to fruition considering the long lapse in time between when we worked before and now."

The new material will be released June 14 on Shady/Interscope Records. Mr. Porter, who is a member of Eminem's rap group D12, was a producer on the EP.

Interscope said its title will be unveiled "soon."

And, for the record, Royce da 5'9" is the Bad half of the duo, and Eminem is the Evil.

Lady GaGa may be the world's biggest pop star, but she admits she still “feels like a loser kid in high school”.
The singer breaks down in tears as she makes the stunning admission in a new HBO documentary charting her rise to fame.

GaGa, who attended a private all-girls school in Manhattan, is filmed crying backstage at New York's Madison Square Garden before a show, as she talks about her relationship with her devoted fans.

"I still sometimes feel like a loser kid in high school and I just have to pick myself up and tell myself that I'm a superstar every morning, so that I can get through this day and be for my fans what they need for me to be," she says in the documentary, which is due to be screened in the US on 7 May.

She adds: "But sometimes I still feel like people are trying to destroy me. I cannot be destroyed, I will not be destroyed and you will never destroy the kingdom that is my fans.

"I'm fighting for every kid that's like me, that felt like I felt and feels like I still feel. I just wanna be a queen for them and sometimes I don't feel like one."

Twilight Diss From Actor Robert Pattinson

the on the go buzz robert pattinson twilight

ROBERT Pattinson has subtly dissed the makers of Twilight!

The actor is currently promoting his new movie Water For Elephants — which also stars Reese Witherspoon — and was asked whether he enjoyed doing publicity for WFE more than Twilight.

“I mean, I guess so, yeah. It’s nice to know, you know sometimes when you’re doing franchise movies it feels like the publicity is more important to the company than making the actual movie,” he answered.

Meanwhile, Rob says he’s terrified of circuses because he once saw a clown die.

The Twilight hunk was left traumatized after a stunt went wrong during his first ever visit to the big top with his parents when he was a young boy.

“The first time I went to the circus somebody died. One of the clowns died. His little car exploded. The joke car exploded on him. Seriously,” Rob said.

“Everybody ran out. It was terrifying. It’s the only time I’ve ever been to the circus.”

Nicole Scherzinger Whips Her Hair, May Be Morphing Into Willow Smith (!??)

the on the go buzz whip my hair willow smith nicole scherzinger

Nicole Scherzinger was photographed filming her new music video for "Right There" off her upcoming album, Killer Love, in Los Angeles. And is it just the air in here, or does the former Pussycat Doll look eerily like an adult version of widdle Willow Smith? Nicole rocked some genie pants, leather boots, a whole lot of bracelets and an enormous, braided ponytail that was just begging to be whipped back and forth, a la Willow herself.

We're not saying that Nicole is taking cues from a ten-year-old, but we're not saying that would be a bad idea, either, considering that Willow is -- even at her young age -- already a style icon. And with Nicole finally ready to break out on her own (and why shouldn't she, considering she can sing and dance like a pro, and her time is way overdue?), modeling her wardrobe after someone already leading the pack would surely be a bold move in the right direction.

Needless to say, we were pretty happy to actually find pics of Nicole whipping her hair back and forth, this time in some sort of sexy southwestern shaman get-up that only makes us more excited to see the Pussycat Doll finally claw her way into back into the zeitgeist.

There are clearly reasons we feel :O writing this. Maybe because we still think of Nick and Joe Jonas as kids (which they are not!). I don't know. But Joe and Nick Jonas were spotted on the beach in Hawaii, shirtless, and OMGGGGGGGGGGG YOU GUYYYYYYYZ!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!1! *Swoon* *pant* *faint* *THUD!*

(...Ok, we're back!)

Usually, men take their shirts off at the beach, and onlookers are often pleased if those men are attractive or built nicely because, hey, good for you and everyone else, right? That's how the world works. But if you're international heartthrobs like the JoBros. are, and you are very, very, very attractive and SUPER buff, it's likely that mortals like us will temporarily go blind, lose our minds, pick up the pieces, lose our minds again and then try to momentarily decompress before we cast our eyes on such a beautiful sight once again. Granted, both brothers are absolutely legal young adults, so it's not like we're CREEPY or anything. We're just big fans. Big, big, big, big fans. You know, we wouldn't even protest if Nick was cast as Spider-Man or The Incredible Hulk or Superman. Sure, he may have only played himself in Disney movies, but we're sure he'd do a skintight bodysuit justice. He's already been in "Les Miserables." Why couldn't he conquer Broadway in the lead role of "Spider-Man"? Right? Just imagine that costume...

Ke$ha Goes To Disney World, Too

First, Lady Gaga poses with the Evil Queen. Then, Beyoncé is spotted wearing a Goofy hat (with the floppy ears, buck teeth and the whole nine yards). And now we can include Ke$ha as the latest singer to show up to the Happiest Place on Earth, getting in some cuddle time with The White Rabbit from "Alice In Wonderland." She even dressed down for the occasion, trading in her signature facial glitter and tattered stockings everything for a black baby doll dress and hot pink kicks. She probably just didn't want to scare the kids -- there's already enough of that at the creepy Captain EO exhibit (R.I.P. M.J.).

What's up with all these famous singers visiting Disney? Is it possible that Mickey Mouse is trying to turn a corner by inviting some of the world's most colorful female performers to liven up the grounds a little bit? As much as we love to visit Disney, Epcot is essentially a peek into the future circa 1980 ("Buttons! Knobs! VIDEO TELEPHONES!"), and we doubt anyone is necessarily rushing to get their picture taken with Mulan. So it actually makes sense to bring in some new blood, especially when the blood is seasoned with chart-topping hits and a more loyal following than Donald Duck (although he tends to wear pants less often than Gaga, so go figure).

Ke$ha Plays Herself On An Upcoming Episode Of Nickelodeon's 'Victorious'

Ke$ha and all of her glitter glory will be hitting the small screen when she appears as a guest star on Nickelodeon's "Victorious" on tomorrow's Earth Day episode. In the episode, Tori (Victoria Justice's character) tries to win a Ke$ha performance for her sister after losing a bet.

It looks like the "We R Who We R" singer will be showing off her American pride in the episode. Here we see her in an American flag tee, combat boots, 50 percent less pants than Victoria Justice and a light-up ammunition necklace/sash. Don't worry, guys, Ke$ha's still in the clear -- the rule is no ammo necklaces after Labor Day.

Beyonce Wears A Generally Unflattering Goofy Hat And Still Pulls It Off

It's not fair when people are so attractive that they can make stupid clothes look really nice. For example, Beyonce went to Disneyland in Paris, and she was photographed wearing not just a goofy hat, but a Goofy hat. With the floppy ears and everything! The thing even has two buck teeth hanging from the rim. And somehow, while it would look perfectly reasonable on the head of somebody's slovenly stepdad in camouflaged cargo shorts, it looks -- dare we say? -- hot on Beyonce. She makes a Goofy hat hot.

Maybe it's that element of ironic detachment that gives it a sort of hipster flair, or maybe we're just being apologetic for no reason. Because, seriously, she looks gorgeous. Like, how does she do that? Is Beyonce an alien? Is that how she does it? Do you guys think she has alien blood running through her alien veins, and that's why she can make THE GOOFY HAT look like a must-have accessory? Are fashion magazines going to start shilling high-end visors now because Beyonce is a perfect alien?

Just a theory.

Mandy Moore Is The Hottest Cat Lady We've Ever Seen

Mandy Moore is perfect. Here's why: She initially blossomed as a pop singer during the same time as Britney, Christina and Jessica Simpson. And while her music was good (the Wade Robson remix of "Candy" is an iPod staple), it never necessarily made a dent the way Britney and Christina did. So Mandy, in moving on from her moderately successful bubblegum pop career followed her own path, so to speak, eventually releasing an album called Coverage, in which she covered classic songs by singer/songwriters (i.e. Joni Mitchell, Carole King) and groups you would never expect to hear Mandy sing (i.e. XTC, Blondie), but she did because she's very smart and has excellent taste (and is also married to Ryan Adams, who is awesome). Also, if you meant to buy any album today, it should be her Amanda Leigh album. Simply gorgeous. She also revved up her acting career by carving out a niche as an equally talented actress, finding enormous success in movies like A Walk To Remember and -- most recently -- Tangled.

BUT Mandy Moore is also perfect because she loves kittens, evidenced by her appearance at the animal health care awareness program launch for the ASPCA in New York City on Wednesday. Literally, she can do anything she wants. It's almost unfair that one person should be so blessed with both looks and talent, but whateverrrr. Mandy has earned it (as would anyone who managed to crawl out of her teenybopper superstardom unscathed and better for it).

You just keep doing you, Mandy! Hold more kittens!

Willow Smith Visits Hawaii, Whips Hair Back And Forth

Willow Smith was spotted in Hawaii doing -- what else? -- whipping her hair back and forth. Will and Jada's pint-sized singer and rapper (and brother to "Karate Kid" Jaden) wore a wetsuit (a cute one, of course) on a beach in Oahu, where she kept her promise about how she treats her braided hair, while simultaneously remaining an adorable "21st Century Girl."

Willow could stand to take a break on the sandy white beaches since she just wrapped up a gig opening for old-timer Justin Bieber, who was probably able to show Willow a thing or two about the music biz, considering he's got almost eight years on her. That's an entire Paula Cole in Music Industry Years.

The tiniest Smith's got bigger fish to fry, of course, as she's headed to The White House (the real thing, not a club) to perform at the annual Easter Egg Roll. According to Celebuzz, Willow Smith was personally invited by President Obama and the First Lady (alongside Colbie Caillat and Greyson Chance). Our invite must've gotten lost in the mail.

We HAVE To Say Something About Justin Timberlake And Lady Gaga's Upcoming 'Saturday Night Live' Appearance

What goes around comes around! He hasn't hosted "Saturday Night Live" since May 9, 2009, but guess who's bringing "SexyBack" to the sketch comedy show for its season finale on May 21? Justin Timberlake, that's who! The newly single actor/singer will return to "Saturday Night Live"'s hallowed set for the fourth time.

"The Social Network" star is just as well known for his partnership with object of our desire Andy Samberg on "D*** In A Box," "Single Ladies" and "Mother Lover." We especially adore JT's cameo in "Jizz in my Pants" as the disapproving janitor mopping up aisle 3 when Jorma Taccone "needed a few things from the grocery" and wound up getting far too aroused by the checkout girl Jamie-Lynn Sigler while "paying by check."

We imagine Justin Timberlake will likely be promoting his upcoming flick Friends With Benefits starring Mila Kunis pretty hard on the show, but we can handle a little of that in exchange for some of his hilarious improv and musical shorts. We anticipate his success on the finale leading to his achieving the ever-prestigious "five-timer" SNL status in the coming season. "SNL," we know this "just can't be summer love." You'll see.

And as if that weren't enough to constitute some serious must-see TV, Lady Gaga has been confirmed as the musical guest for the same show. She last appeared on "Saturday Night Live" in 2009. Not to state the totally obvious, but this is an A-list "SNL" dream team.

Russell Brand And Katy Perry Are The OTHER Royal Couple

In a few days, Prince William will be marrying Kate Middleton, and the world is really excited about that. Not just because they're royals, but because PEOPLE LOVE FANCY WEDDINGS! We get it: How often in our lifetime do we get to witness the nuptials of people who are actual royalty? Bows and curtsies and crowns and all.

Meanwhile, we like to think there's another royal couple across the pond, but only one-half is a native of England. British comic/actor Russell Brand and California "gurl" Katy Perry are basically a sort of bizarro version of William and Kate. In one sense, they're more secretive, considering we only heard about Russell and Katy's wedding, which took place in Northern India (it included a "Bollywood-themed bash"). Nary an image of their wedding was released to the world, save for the projection Katy revealed at the Grammys. Whereas... the entire world will be watching William and Kate tie the knot, so consider that a point for Katy and Russell in the privacy department.

Also, William and Kate are always dressed up casual-fancy because, you know, they probably wear crowns and tiaras and fascinators and khakis as a rule. Russell, however, tends to dress like a hyperactive extra from the set of "A Clockwork Orange" crossed with a yogi, and Katy's usually dressed like a vintage pinup or basically in any outfit that includes every single color of the rainbow.

Last night, however, Katy and Russell showed up in London at the premiere of Russell's newest movie, Arthur. He looked unusually tame in a super-stylish suit and skinny tie, as did Katy Perry, who wore an understated flesh-toned, sheer sheath. Russell and Katy can seamlessly "class it up" like the real royal couple whenever they want. That said, we still love Katy and Russell in lollipops, cupcakes and swearwords.

Rihanna Was At Coachella Too

Coachella attracted some amazing headliners and attendees last weekend. Although she wasn't performing, Rihanna showed up at the Empire Polo Club on Sunday to strut her VIP stuff. Everybody likes a good music festival, and apparently that includes world-renowned pop stars. (After all, Katy Perry was there, and so was Kanye West, Cee Lo, and Cory Monteith from "Glee.")

Just like her bestie Katy Perry, Rihanna hit Coachella in a relaxed, '90s boho look of short shorts and a fedora. She was a desert vision of grunge glam. In fact, her ensemble kinda reminded us of Janeane Garofalo's retro character in Reality Bites. Next time you see Rihanna in a baby doll dress and clunky Doc Martens, or you hear her cover "Stay (I Missed You)" by Lisa Loeb, we can say we told you so.

A Practically Nude Lady GaGa Gets Riled Up In NME Magazine

the on the go buzz lady gaga nude magazine cover nme zipper

Lady GaGa is sporting her favorite facial prostheses (that are actually her bones?) in this week's issue of NME magazine. And that's about all she's sporting. The "Judas" singer is wearing a see-through catsuit (with some very strategically placed zippers), heavy eyeliner, and a purple pageboy wig. It's so weird because I wore the same thing to church this weekend.

Inside the issue, Godga got a little defensive when asked about her authenticity as a music artist. "Let me tell you something," she stated, "If you f------ rip my hairbow and my wig off my f------ head, my shoes, my bra, every single thing on my body, and you throw me on a piano with a microphone, I will f------ make you cry." Okay... Point taken!

The "Born This Way" singer also explains her frustration with big-name artists and producers who keep sending her their tracks to record not realizing she writes all of her own songs. "If you want me to be a manufactured act, you can f--- off," she says. Heard ya loud and clear, GaGa!

Check out the full interview with Lady GaGa in this week's NME magazine, on newsstands now.

Susan Boyle Wax Figure Revealed At Madame Tussauds

You know you've made it when the people at Madame Tussauds create a life-sized wax doppelganger of you. Such is the case for former Cat Lady and "Britain's Got Talent" breakout star Susan Boyle, who unveiled her own wax statuette at the Tussauds museum in Blackpool, UK. As usual, it's almost impossible to tell the real celebrity from the fake one, but something tells us that, if a famous singer is going to be immortalized, it's more likely she'd be wearing a black ballroom gown than a soft pastel blouse with khaki pants.

Now you, too, can take a picture alongside Boyle as she walks in the waxy footsteps of Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber. Meanwhile, if you've followed the extreme makeover that Boyle has gone through since first wooing the "Britain's Got Talent" audience with her mind-blowing pipes, you'll notice she's looking pretty damn good these days. We bow to you, SuBo!

New Video: Jessie J, "Nobody's Perfect"

When Jessie J's debut album, Who You Are, was released last week, it hit the iTunes Top Ten immediately, which was music to our Mickey Mouse ears. This beloved Brit's voice cannot be silenced -- and neither can her style. (See picture above.) We were just about to cut our own bangs to match when we saw the video for her song "Nobody's Perfect."

In it, Jessie still rocks her signature jet-black hair, but she's not opposed to trying out a couple different styles (i.e. blond tips, long extensions, leave-in mud conditioner). The uber-colorful clip is filled with explosions and fake snow, and has a whole Alice In Wonderland theme to it, from the long table full of delusional characters to Jessie's enviable gold-watch jacket.

We don't remember Alice wearing that kind of outerwear, but we'll take it. No, seriously, we will gladly take that jacket. Can we have it?

Katy Perry Parties At Coachella

This past weekend was the annual Coachella Festival in California, and California Girl herself, Katy Perry, was on hand to enjoy the festivities. Bringing both Sexy and The Roaring Twenties back, Katy looked like a hot flapper (look it up -- it's not dirty) in lace and pearls, giving your grandma a run for her money next time she thinks she's the hottest one in the room.

Not only does Coachella highlight lesser-known, more indie-friendly acts, but the fest also attracts a high pedigree of headliners -- like Wiz Khalifa, Mumford & Sons, and Cee Lo, who reportedly arrived late and left early to an angry crowd -- and attendants. (Our favorite celeb four-pack was Joshua Jackson, Diane Kruger, Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev.)

Although Katy wasn't spotted hanging with the The CW clan, she was seen getting rowdy during a Sleigh Bells show. Raise your hand if you're sure, girl!

Miley Cyrus Shows Off Her Newest Tattoo On Twitter

the on the go buzz miley cyrus tattoo twitter

Miley Cyrus tweeted on Sunday, "Rocking piggy tails for the first time since like 6th grade! I love summer time," and posted a pic of her middle school hairdo. But we have a sneaking suspicion that the "Can't Be Tamed" singer just wanted to give everyone a little peek of that tattoo she got back in February. Up close, we can now see that thing is definitely not temporary.

Cyrus' dream catcher tattoo is reportedly a replica of the very one that hangs over her bed, and the four feathers represent her brothers and sisters. Aww! That's super nice and everything, but we were kind of wondering how many more tattoos Miley is planning on getting. The 18-year-old already has five of them, and it doesn't look like she's slowing down any time soon.

So maybe the tattoo is dedicated to her family -- and that's great -- but what if it's just another step Miley is taking to officially morph into Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks?! That's our theory. If we start seeing you in capes, Miley, we might need to stage an intervention!

Justin Bieber Look-Alike Fools An Entire Country

While in Zurich last week, Justin Bieber allegedly stayed at the Holiday Inn, which is fine and all, but wouldn't you expect the world's biggest teen pop star to rest his well-coiffed head at a five-star boutique hotel with, like, walls made of diamonds or something?

Anyway, when news broke of his supposed stay, his loyal young lady fans waited patiently outside the hotel, hoping to catch a peek of their teenage dream -- and they did! At least they thought they did when a slender dude in a hat quickly gave his best Evita pose and threw up his hands, almost as if to say, "We did it! We made it! We're all going to be okay!"

The problem, however, was that this wasn't Justin Bieber. Instead, some prankster dressed up like The Biebs and -- even from the grainy footage on YouTube -- did a fine job imitating the guy, right down to the hat tip. Sorry, Zurich, but you got "Bieb'd," which is a verb we just made up and would prefer you didn't mess it up with any dirty connotation.

Now imagine if the doppelganger started singing "Baby," just like that time "U2 did."

Mother Monster Meets The Queen

It's been a crazy few days for Lady Gaga. First, Gaga released "Judas" after it was leaked onto the internet by a radio station in the UK (and it's now number one on iTunes in 12 countries, including our very own). Then she showed up to perform the new song at a club in Tampa called the Kennedy Lounge, where the fans went berserk for Gagaloo. After all, what artist is cool enough to continually show up at gay clubs in the middle of the night after she's performed a concert? (Gaga is, that's who.) Finally, she tweeted the cover art of Born This Way. And, yet, somewhere in between all that madness, Gaga visited Disney World.

It was there that Mother Monster met the Evil Queen from Snow White. Amazingly, Lady Gaga looked relatively "low key" -- albeit with spikes protruding from her sunglasses -- next to the wicked witch. We're not sure who gave her that shiny red apple, but we're reeeeally hoping Gaga wasn't hungry at that very moment, because, well... you know.

Hopefully, Gaga knows her Disney movies as well as she does her own lyrics, and she left that apple to rot somewhere in the Magic Kingdom.

22 April 2011

Justin Bieber screwed up Malaysian fans

the on the go buzz justin bieber selena gomez kuala lumpur malaysia concert 2011 sucks

KUALA LUMPUR, April 22, 2011: 'Fever' popular young singers, Justin has already ended last night through the first ever concert in Malaysia, Justin My World Tour.

Justin did not deny the phenomenon is indeed remarkable. A total of 15.000 thousand tickets have been sold in the blink of an eye. In fact, people who like Justin could come as early as 3:30 pm at Stadium Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur just to watch the concert that scheduled to take place about 8.30 pm!

Crowded roads around the Stadium, the heavy rain and costume made while waiting for the concert began.

Although there are appealing for entering the stadium earlier than the scheduled time of 7 hours a night, but their average ra-void because the door is opened by the time fixed.

Exactly at 8 pm, the emergence of Mizz Nina, played three songs that any of them is What You Waiting For fans have calmed a bit nervous that had been so long waiting for Bieber's presence.

Mizz Nina completed after the singing, they called back screaming students Usher is soon to appear on stage. However, Justin is more comfortable making fans nervous wait as he will only appear right at 9 pm.

Entering again 10 minutes before 9 pm, while waiting for the beginning of seconds, suddenly tense atmosphere around the stage a bit. It all happened because the media officer of cameramen and photographers are not allowed to catch these cute pictures.

The situation would lead to media personnel and management quarreled because of the procedure before it, the media was allowed to record visual images and three songs for the beginning his songs alone.

It is understood that the instructions issued by the adorable Justin because he allegedly had a small heart with the local media who have been capturing images during his arrival with fruit, Selene Gomez at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) yesterday afternoon.

This Canadian-born teenager, said to be furious because the image is recorded with the lover through the lens of a cameraman.

Because of that, this 17-year-old singer took the decision not to allow any officer or electronic media to take photographs and visual concert.

In fact, he also threatened to not start the concert as long as the worker is close to the stage and the media wishes to express its action. Attitudes are Bieber seen less professional, or big head 'kekwat' is indeed troubling that the media is responsible.

In the meantime, if you want to review about the concert, what can be said to be not as good as any. Perhaps, he can sing but 'she' looks a bit stiff when action on stage. Only know to sing and sing and sing!. No direct communication between the bilateral common fan.

If there were, who repeatedly called Bieber just know, there are many beautiful girls today. Repeated every time, every time that people like women, there may well be screaming fan boy.

The singer is also more interaction with fans through visual recording conversation that is installed on a large screen.

In terms of vocals do not dispute is because it all has been aware that the vote was 17-year-old man who could be categorized simply sing.

Starting the show through the song Love Me, the young age of 17 years, making fans hysteria. Not to mention when he made a face reaction comelnya on stage can be seen through the big screen by his fans.

Lagilah it makes fans scream out the sound effect. Continue to sing the songs and Bigger You Smile, dance action Bieber also seen mediocre.

But the fanatical fans, of course, whatever he does best even when Bieber opened his jacket for warmth invited screams.

Singing over 10 songs including One Less Lonely, Somebody To Love, and Never Say Never, what can be said for over an hour concert witnessed many sweet madness can not be felt climax.

If at all possible when he made a surprise by inviting the singer of Good Charlotte, Joel Maiden singing Want to Be Love.

Closing the curtain concert was organized by the Tune Talk, Bieber singing a popular baby show for her fans. If calculated concert last night, maybe just enough Bieber concert once to behold!.
