Taylor Swift Goes H.A.M. On A Polaroid On ‘Out Of The Woods’

by 16 mins ago

A picture might be worth a thousand words, but on Taylor Swift’s new song, that number drops down to seven: “Are we out of the woods yet?”

Released at midnight on Tuesday (October 14), “Out Of The Woods” finds the defender of Scottish Folds everywhere reminiscing while staring at an old Polaroid — and those memories aren’t pleasant.

Swift took the photo with an ex-boyfriend, who, according to her recent Rolling Stone cover story, might be Harry Styles of One Direction.

She describes how no matter what the two were doing — dancing like nobody’s watching, getting in snowmobile accidents, etc. — one thought always tagged along: “Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?”

“This was a relationship where I was kind of living day to day,” the “Shake It Off” singer explains in a recent YouTube video. “It was a relationship where you kind of never feel like you’re standing on solid ground.”

According to Taylor, that feeling of instability is no more, and she has said that she has her strong, newfound friendships with women like Karlie Kloss and Lena Dunham to thank for it.

Dunham’s boyfriend, fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff, actually co-wrote and co-produced the song with Taylor. (Swedish Pop Lord Max Martin also lent a ...

Ariana Grande Says Big Sean Is ‘One Of The Most Amazing Men’ In The World

by 17 mins ago

The backstage hand-holding, the shadowy photos, the secret kisses shared on theme-park rides — despite the mounting evidence that Ariana Grande and Big Sean are, in fact, in a relationship, neither one of the artists has ever confirmed the rumors.

Until now.

The “Love Me Harder” singer has declared that “yes,” she and the 26-year-old rapper are dating in a new interview with The Telegraph Magazine. While the U.K. publication won’t release the full feature online until Tuesday (October 14), they have teased out some extremely satisfying quotes.

“[Sean] is one of the most amazing men in the whole world,” Ariana tells the mag, “and that includes my grandfather and my brother.” Knowing how much she loves her bro, “Big Brother” contestant Frankie Grande, and how much she adored her late grandpa, that’s saying something.

“I think the world of him, and he’s an amazing person,” Grande says of the “Paradise” MC. “That’s kind of all there is to it.”

Longtime musical collaborators, Ariana Grande and Big Sean were first rumored to be a couple in August of this year, after they were spotted holding hands on a backstage cam at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards. Coming on the heels of Sean’s breakup ...

Is That Madonna Or Miley Cyrus In This Throwback Photo?

by 18 mins ago

Conspiracy theory time: What if Madonna and Miley Cyrus are actually the same person?

Check out the vintage, pre-fame photo from over 30 years ago that the “Turn Up The Radio” singer Instagrammed on Monday (October 13). What in the name of the space-time continuum? From the close-cropped hair to the tongue, I can’t really tell where Madonna ends and Miley begins.

She was just bein’ Miley…before Miley was even Miley.

madonna, miley cyrusInstagram (@madonna)

“Unconsciously transmitting ideas to the other MC way back when…………,,,..#quantum,” Madonna captioned the pic. And sure, she’s probably just joking around with that “Quantum Leap” reference.

But what if she’s not.

Think about it. The Madge we know and live for might actually be the “Adore You” singer, sent back to the past to save the world from an impending “Terminator”-style robot apocalypse. Or maybe just lesser pop stars.

The Illuminati probably figures into this somehow, too. Maybe even the Reptilians. Who knows how far this thing goes? We’re through the looking glass here, people.

This “Unplugged” performance suddenly got really intense.

Osbourne, whose Memoirs Of A Madman compilation album will be released October 14, is the fifth-ever recipient of the Global Icon Award, following Bon Jovi in 2010, Queen in 2011, Whitney Houston in 2012 and Eminem in 2013. Clearly, he’s in good company, and the win is beyond deserved — and here’s why.

Yes, Marina And The Diamonds’ New Song Is Called ‘FROOT’

by 26 mins ago

Remember when Sia told ABC News that when she’s writing a song, she often begins with a single, SEO-friendly word to start with? (“Chandelier,” “Diamonds,” etc.)

Something tells me that not even a hundred Sia Furlers locked in a room, hitting typewriter keys at random for all eternity would ever come up with the name of Marina And The Diamonds’ new single: “FROOT.”

That’s “FROOT” with two Os.

Thankfully, Marina Diamandis’ latest track, which hit YouTube on Friday (October 10), has the sound and lyrics to match such a unique title.

Over some breezy 8-bit production, she sings that “good things come to those who wait,” although she “ain’t in a patient phase.” The “How To Be A Heartbreaker” singer is sick of “hanging around like a fruit on a tree,” and she demands that someone cut her from the vine, turn her into wine and fill [their] cup up.

Like I said, unique.

The song is the title track off of Marina And The Diamonds’ third studio album, FROOT. A release date has not yet been set for the LP.

Do Conservatives Watch More Porn? New Study Says Yes

by 1 min ago

If you had to guess which part of the United States regularly logs more hours on porn sites, you’d probably guess one of the godless coasts, what with all their heathen metropolises. (WOO, NEW YORK.)

Well, you’d be wrong. It turns out that the nation’s right-leaning heartland has far more experience with scrubbing their search histories clean of anything X-rated.

The Daily Beast reports that residents of America’s more religious and politically conservative-leaning states are more likely to make sex-related searches online, according to a recent study.

The study was published in the Archives Of Sexual Behavior, a bimonthly, peer-reviewed academic journal in the field of sexology, and it was produced by Canadian Universities.

Ignoring for the moment why Canadians are all of a sudden all up in our good ol’ American Google search histories, Aurora Snow of TDB has a pretty plausible explanation for this. She theorizes that the correlation is, at least in part, the result of abstinence-heavy education in highly religious areas of the country.

Curious minds are going to have questions about sex and sexuality. And if relatives and schools aren’t willing to handle that awkward, but necessary, conversation, kids are bound to turn to — where else — the Internet.

And as well all know, the Internet is for porn.

If any of those curious young minds are reading this, hit up ItsYourSexLife.com, MTV’s site devoted to answering any question you might have about pregnancy, contraception, sexually transmitted diseases and infections (STDs and STIs), relationships ...

by 12 mins ago

First Danny DeVito and now a couple of Sumo wrestlers? I literally have no clue what One Direction’s next video for “Steal My Girl” will end up looking like at this point, but I can’t wait.

The “Fireproof” singers teased the upcoming clip for the Four single on Sunday (October 12), Instagramming a series of photos taken on the desert set.

Along with Zayn bumping bellies with a pair of wrestling heavyweights, we’ve got Liam leading a march band and Harry and Niall Narry looking stoic in matching sunglasses. Louis is there, too.

Hey, Liam, whatcha doin’ up there?

by 37 mins ago

When Jessie J sings she’s gonna do it like it “Ain’t Been Done,” you’d be hard-pressed to doubt her. I mean, how many other singers in the game today could honestly keep up with her in this acoustic live performance video? BE HONEST. You’ve got to learn to walk before you pull of those runs.

“Ain’t Been Done” serves as the opening track on the “Burnin’ Up” singer’s third studio album, Sweet Talker, which is expected to drop this coming Tuesday, October 14.
