Taylor Swift Gives The Best Advice — Just Ask Selena Gomez

by 19 mins ago

Girl time between Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift sounds like the best. In my imagination, the BFFs talk about boys, clothes and all the other normal things besties do, but like any true friends, there are times when talk turns serious.

While making an appearance on CBS’ “The Talk,” Selena revealed to the hosts that Taylor “never judges” her for anything she does. Gomez went on to share a very valuable piece of advice Taylor gave her while they were just hanging out and “sitting by the fire.”

“[Taylor] was actually at my house the other day and we were sitting by the fire and I was talking about relationships and business in my life and she just kind of looked at me, and she supports me and never judges me for anything, and she was like, ‘Selena, if you’re the smartest person in the room, I think you’re going to be in the wrong room,’ ” Gomez recalled.

“She thinks I should constantly surround myself — and I agree with her — with people who are going to make me better,” Gomez continued, “that are going to challenge me, motivate me, and it just stuck with me, so I kind of constantly repeat that to myself now and I just want to surround myself with those people.”

If Taylor has her way, she won’t have to travel far for those cozy chats with her bestie. The “Shake It Off” singer has been “begging” Selena ...

Ariana Grande Is Throwing A Halloween Party With Her Mom’s Coffins

by 1 min ago

Arianators know that Ariana Grande is pretty much in love with Halloween.

The “Love Me Harder” singer kicked off the costumed holiday way early, rocking the most adorable cat ears since August. Now she has big plans to throw a killer party on October 31, but guests may want to enter at their own risk … because it may get kinda weird.

Now, before you declare coffins at a Halloween party the creepiest thing ever, there’s apparently a good explanation why Ariana’s mom has them in storage. See, Joan Grande is a former Chief Medical Examiner at the New York City morgue, which makes her an expert on dead bodies.

No word on what Ariana plans to dress up as for the big night, but judging by her tweets as of late, we’re guessing it won’t be the clown from “American Horror Story: Freak Show.”

Ariana has been getting into the scary spirit all month, including a visit to Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Night with her brother, Frankie Grande, where she had a really awkward run-in with a “scary dude” with a chainsaw.

Becky G ‘Can’t Stop Dancing’ To Her Flirty New Single: Listen Now

by 6 mins ago

Becky G had us “singing in the shower” and now she us so that we “can’t stop Dancing” — slow-dancing that is.

On Friday (October 17), the talented teen unleashed her latest, “Can’t Stop Dancing,” the mellow mid-tempo second single off her upcoming debut album. Becky leaves her rap skills behind on this one to show off her impressive vocals.

“Your lights are shining like the sun out tonight/ Just keep your body moving how I like/ Oh yeah, the music feels like paradise/ It can’t get any better,” she sings.

Becky teamed up with Dr. Luke for the track, and it’s pure pop with a beat that has a Caribbean-style flair. The teen sings about not wanting a dance to end, a feeling that most of us can relate to. The “Shower” singer also gets a little flirty, telling her partner “nothing is forbidden.”

The CoverGirl recently opened for Katy Perry on the Prismatic World Tour and was named one of TIME’s 25 most influential teens of 2014.

Kim Kardashian is taking a break from being a reality star to try her hand as a TV star.

Mrs. West is making an appearance on the CBS sitcom “2 Broke Girls,” and we finally got our first look at Kim on set. Of course, in the pic she’s looking nothing short of flawless in a white dress, with cut-outs on the shoulder as she flashes a small at the shows stars, Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs, during a visit to their cupcake shop.

North’s mom couldn’t wait for fans to see the episode when she shot it back in August, and got rave reviews from the cast.

Kim, who follows Martha Stewart, 2 Chainz and Lindsay Lohan as guest stars on the sitcom, makes her “Broke Girls” debut on October 27, the season-four premiere. According to executive producer Michael Patrick King, Kim will be playing herself in the episode titled “And The Reality Problem.”

“There are the typical ’2 Broke Girls’ jokes all about [the Kardashians] in the episode,” King told TVLine. “So it’s fun to see someone have a great sense of humor about herself. She read the script, she thought it was funny and she came. We could’ve [shot] the exact same [episode] without her — but she was the cherry on top.”

Justin Bieber Took Meghan Trainor’s ‘All About That Bass’ To Another Level: Listen

by 22 mins ago

Meghan Trainor isn’t the only one who’s “All About That Bass.” Turns out Justin Bieber is too!

The pop star, who recently declared it was time to get “back to work,” jumped on his friend/ producer Maejor Ali’s remix of Meghan’s hit track. The hip-hop hitmaker pulled together a hypnotizing house beat that has the “Confident” singer crooning along to the famous hook, before Bieber adds his own little spin to the lyrics.

“I’m all about that bass, no treble/ We gonna take it to a whole ‘nother level,” he sings before later adding, “We know that sh– ain’t real/ We know it’s Photoshopped.”

Maejor Ali and Justin gave us a sneak peek of their remix a few months back when the producer uploaded a video of Justin dancing along to the song on Instagram.

And this isn’t the first time Maejor Ali has put his own touch on the song. Back in August, the producer dropped a solo remix of “All About That Bass,” but told Billboard that he was thrilled to get Justin on board.

“I’m excited to bring a ‘hood-yet-house twist to such a catchy song,” Ali said. “I first put this song out as a production remix on my own. Not soon after it went out, Meghan heard it, then Justin heard it, and shortly after they asked me to pull my version down so that the collaboration could happen. And that’s the dopest part.”

Maejor has worked with Austin Mahone, ...

How Did Taylor Swift’s ‘Out Of The Woods’ Come Together? Jack Antonoff Reveals All

by 46 mins ago

I am totally not in the clear yet because I am still freaking out over how much I am obsessed with Taylor Swift’s new song, “Out of the Woods.”

While I’ve spent most of Tuesday (October 14) trying to figure out whether or not it’s about One Direction’s Harry Styles, I have also completely fallen in love with this ’80s synth-pop vibe Taylor is going with, which was brought to life by the help of fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff, a.k.a. her musical soulmate.

But the pair didn’t just walk into the studio one day and start recording songs — they actually formed a friendship bonding over ’80s flicks.

“We were hanging out at her house in Rhode Island,” Jack recently told Billboard. “And we were talking about John Hughes movies, and a lot of the music that inspired [them], and just this general culture of sound in that time period that was really larger-than-life in an anthemic, positive way. These songs could be at the end of films that were really, really beautiful and said a lot.”

Jack, who said this experience meant “the world” to him, wanted to help bring Taylor’s emotions and feelings to life, to completely capture the “fragility” of the relationship she was singing about, and to get that he turned to My Morning Jacket for inspiration.

“When I was working on the track, I was thinking a lot about My Morning Jacket,” he revealed, “and how everything they do, ...

Kesha Sues Dr. Luke For Alleged Sexual Assault And Forcible Drug Use

by 9 mins ago

Kesha and her longtime producer Dr. Luke spent years making hits together, but according to the “Die Young” singer, there was no harmony behind the scenes. The pop star is suing the super-producer, claiming that he was sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abusive to her over the course of a decade.

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Kesha alleges that Dr. Luke began abusing her when she signed with his record label at the age of 18. He allegedly forced her to use drugs and alcohol, in addition to making repeated sexual advances.

“This lawsuit is a wholehearted effort by Kesha to regain control of her music career and her personal freedom after suffering for 10 years as a victim of mental manipulation, emotional abuse and an instance of sexual assault at the hands of Dr. Luke,” Kesha’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, told TMZ. “The facts presented in our lawsuit paint a picture of a man who is controlling and willing to commit horrible acts of abuse in an attempt to intimidate an impressionable, talented, young female artist into submission for his personal gain. Kesha is focused on moving her life and her career beyond this terrible time.”

(Geragos and representatives for Kesha and Dr. Luke could not be reached by MTV News for further comment at press time.)

Dr. Luke has yet to comment on the allegations, but Kesha, who’s asking a judge to let her out of her contract with Luke, does break down in the lawsuit several ...

Seriously, Bethany Mota, I can’t handle all this excitement from you in one day!

First, you made all the Motavators’ Mondays a little brighter with the release of your super-catchy first single, “Need You Right Now,” with fellow YouTube star, Mike Tompkins.

Then, just as I finished learning all the words to the song, you give us its accompanying lyric video, which is not only really cute and adorable, but it was co-directed by Kevin Jonas.

Yes, that Kevin Jonas, formerly of the Jonas Brothers. I think I may just go ahead and faint now.

The fashion designer-turned “Dancing With the Stars” contestant teamed up with Kevin and Brian Gonsar for the clip, which features Bethany, for a split second, as she waves to the camera and sets off a chain reaction of falling dominoes from inside her computer screen.
