Although Krewella and Icona Pop are featured on Tiesto‘s sixth studio album, A Town Called Paradise, the two groups are usually some of the only women in the genre in general. Popular female singers usually carry the fiercely melodic vocals on pop-EDM tracks, but when it comes to lady producers, they are few and far between.

Tiesto attributes this imbalance to the simple preferences of kids; boys tend to like tech-y stuff more than girls at a young age.

“I think it’s mainly a thing in the beginning, when you are 16 or 15…not that many girls are into the technical stuff of DJ’ing, or programming on their laptops,” he explained. “They like to do other stuff. I guess that the main reason.”

That may have been the case when EDM was first on the rise to mainstream popularity, but Tiesto agrees this trend can and will change. Already, producer duo NERVO is known for writing phenomenal tunes AND being world-class models, so these days, girls really can have it all.

On A Town Called Paradise, Tiesto says Icona Pop brings a feminine energy with “Let’s Go.”

“I met Icona Pop years ago and we always got along very well. I always wanted to work with them, but they were so busy with ‘I Love It,’” he said. “They make [Let's Go] good! I make a lot of manly songs and they made it more girly… it’s nice to make girly songs too.”

Why do you think there far fewer women ...

While you’re busy worrying about where free agents LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony will end up, someone else was making a big decision. It was Kid Cudi. He decided to go blonde, very blonde.

Cudder broke the news on his Twitter account Tuesday (June 24), by sharing a photo of himself playing a guitar, with the simple caption, “blond.”

Eminem made this look really popular for awhile, back in the day, and it seems to be catching on again. Vic Mensa recently decided to bleach his hair also. Who’s next? Are you feeling these news ‘dos?

Nick Cannon’s rap career is providing plenty of fodder for his raucous “Wild ‘N Out” gang.

Just last week, funnyman Karlous Miller poked fun at his boss’ musical endeavors, and now newbie Blair Christian is doing the exact same.

“My favorite rap artist is Nick Cannon,” Blair says in the backstage clip below, just before bursting into laughter. “No, I’m just playing.”

And Nick isn’t her only target: Later on in the rapid-fire interview, Blair bares her claws again by confessing that her pet peeve is “fat guys” (harsh!) and that the last thing she told a man in bed was “Move over!” She probably shouldn’t put that on her OkCupid profile…

See more from the Chicago beauty, below, and catch her and the rest of the Season 6 cast when “Wild ‘N Out” premieres next Wednesday, July 2, at 11/10c on MTV2!

Drop everything, a dude just totally bit another dude in a World Cup game.

Uruguay’s Luis Suarez broke that cardinal preschool rule: We don’t bite. Toward the end of Uruguay’s final game of the first group in the World Cup, Suarez charged Chiellini and got a good piece of his shoulder, then both of them fell to the ground.

Suarez was not shown a card or penalized. Minutes later, Uruguay scored a goal to beat Italy 1-0 and advance to the next round.

Suarez came out of the collision holding his mouth in apparent pain, while an outraged Chiellini peeled down the shoulder of his jersey to reveal indentations from Suarez’s teeth.

As it turns out, Suarez has a history of biting. In April 2013, he was suspended for 10 games while playing for Liverpool following biting a Chelsea player in the Premiere League.

In 2011, he earned a seven-game suspension for yet another biting incident, as well as the nickname “the cannibal of Ajax.” Um, what?

Welcome to the earth, everyone, where we straight up bite people in the middle of soccer games.

Just the fact that Ma$e even plans to release an album this year is exciting, and after hearing the collaborations he has lined up, we’re looking forward to it even more.

Back in May, he dropped the Now We Even track “Nothing,” and during a recent interview with Hot 107.9, the Harlem rapper revealed that Kanye West and Rick Ross will be featured on his upcoming single “Billboard.” And, Dipset will be featured on the album as well — hollarlujah, amen.

“It should be out the first week in October,” Ma$e said. “We gon’ have Yayo on it, Ross, Puff, Dipset. It’s gon’ be really special. This will be what I would have put out after Harlem World, so it’s gonna be really special.”

Last year Ma$e told MTV News that he would only consider signing with Drake and Kanye West. There’s been no update on his label situation, but since he has a ‘Ye collaboration in the bag, maybe Drizzy is on the tracklist as well. We definitely know that the Toronto rapper is interested in working with him.

(Ma$e and Drake want to work with each other)

And, FYI, he only wants to be referred to as Ma$e from here on out. No Mason Betha, no Murda Ma$e or any of that.

Britney Spears is ready for summer!

The pop diva posted an adorable photo on Instagram on Tuesday (June 24) alongside her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, who are seriously the cutest kids ever, and also, when did they get so big?!

The “Work Bitch” singer is seen rocking short shorts, a tank-top and wedge sandals, but she forgot one key summer accessory: her sunglasses.

“What’s up summer!!! Where are my sunglasses when I need them? Lol ☀️☀️☀️,” she captioned the pic.

Brit is enjoying some family time before she heads back to Las Vegas in August to kick off the next round of her “Piece of Me” Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood.

Last month it was reported that Britney would extend her residency in Sin City to at least Christmas 2016.

After dropping a couple of tracks over the past couple of months — not to mention one of the most moving videos I’ve seen in a long time — Tom Krell, aka How To Dress Well, finally released his third studio album, What Is This Heart?, Tuesday (June 24).

The LP’s 12 tracks run the full spectrum of human emotion, from wistful and morose to straight-up melancholy — even hitting that feeling where you’re sad but still genuinely OK with it. You know? Anyway, there are a few standouts whose waters you’ll want to dip your toes into immediately in case this is your first time listening to the R&B singer.

Weird World

1.) “Repeat Pleasure”
Many of the tracks in Krell’s catalog hinge on the interplay between the stillness of his minimal instrumentation and the singer’s lilting and fragile, yet confident, falsetto. This track picks up the tempo, relatively speaking, with a sense of percussive momentum and a ripping guitar riff — or at least what passes for it in this world of romantic quietude.

And then there’s that video I mentioned before. Bring a box of tissues.

2.) “Words I Don’t Remember”
A more characteristic delivery here finds H2DW pining away over some barely-there synths and hand-clap percussion, harmonizing with looped and cut-up vocal tracks.

“This song for me is about love, trust, commitment… and what happens to these things and, like, what happens to really ...

In a time when tent pole movies are protected like government secrets, “Jurassic World” has been fairly open with fans about what’s going on down on the New Orleans set.

For the latest peek behind the scenes, the “Today Show” sent correspondent Jenna Bush Hager to the “Jurassic World” set to get the scoop on the upcoming sequel from stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard.

Surprisingly, Pratt’s explanation of the plot more or less encompassed the entirety of the leaked story details, which director Colin Trevorrow later confirmed.

“Today” also posted a short clip of Pratt clowning around in one of the set’s fake gift shops. And yes, we absolutely see the resemblance.

“Jurassic World” opens in theaters on June 12, 2015.

NEW YORK — Dave Chappelle is in the middle of a bit of a comeback tour, in the form of a 10-show run at Radio City Music Hall. That in itself would be reason enough for his legion of patient fans (like me) to celebrate. But the comedian decided to up the ante, by inviting musical guests to co-headline with him for some of the shows. Like Nas. Performing Illmatic. With an orchestra. On Monday night.

And yes, it was as immaculate as you might have imagined.

As a large screen at the back of the stage flashed images of Nas, each accompanied by a year, counting down from 2014 to 1994 (the year of Illmatic‘s release), the orchestra played him in. And Esco arrived just in time to deliver his legendary opening verse to “N.Y. State of Mind.”

Nasty then rolled into “Life’s a Bitch,” before reminding us that “The World Is Yours.”

Even his in-between-song sh– talk sounded next-level with the backing of the talented instrumentalists.

After running through his classic debut album, the Queens rapper said goodbye to the orchestra, and brought it back to the essence: an MC and a DJ (… and a drummer). The trio ran through a bevy of Nas’ post-Illmatic favorites, from the poetic positivity of “If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)” and “I Can” to the unfiltered energy of “Hate Me Now” and “Made You Look.”

Oh, and let’s not forget: This all came after Dave Chappelle commanded the thousands in attendance with an ...

If you give a mouse a cookie, he’s going to ask for a glass of milk. If you give a teen wolf a tattoo, he’s going to ask for, like, a million more.

“Teen Wolf” star Tyler Posey, whose double-bar arm tattoos were incorporated into Season 3 of the show, is evolving into an ink fanatic. And in the “Teen Wolf After After Show” clip below, he reveals to host Morgan Evans that he’s already in the market for another mark. TyPo’s a little mum on the details, but this much is clear: His left thigh is about to become a whole lot more interesting. (Cue the high-pitched squees.)

“I don’t like to talk about it before I have it — I just kind of like it to be a natural thing and let the world find out,” he says as he surveys the spot in question. “It’s gonna be sweet.”

And though Scott McCall’s life will continue to play out in true sci-fi fashion during Season 4 of “Teen Wolf,” the Beacon Hills lacrosse star still isn’t ready to let the force be with him. According to Tyler, Scott still hasn’t seen “Star Wars” — and probably won’t anytime soon.

“I kind of like that he hasn’t [watched it] yet,” Tyler says. “It gives Stiles and Scott something to feud about. And they’re silly and funny and cute when they fight.”

The two are, indeed, the cutest couple — so when can we ...
