Fall Out Boy’s Plan To Replicate <i>Rock And Roll’s</i> Success: ‘Another Hiatus’

Fall Out Boy's Save Rock and Roll has spawned a hit single and debuted at #1 on the Billboard albums chart ... so it should come as no surprise that they're already thinking of repeating the formula that led to its success on another album:

"Oh, we're going on another hiatus," Patrick Stump joked on the red carpet of KIIS FM's Wango Tango concert.

"If that could be the process, it would be amazing," Pete Wentz added. "But I'd hate to break everybody's heart and go on a break every single time ... but the process was really great."

Don't worry, Fall Out fans; with a sold-out spring tour about to kick off and a summer arena-tour already booked, it'll be a minute before the guys can even think of taking another extended break (they're also still attempting to film a video for every song on the new album, too). And, though they're too busy to begin thinking of what will come next, they have learned one thing from making Save Rock and Roll: namely, they're not the same band they were during their heady, mid-aughts heyday.

"It's crazy, because we almost had to start from scratch," Stump explained. "It feels more like a new band than an old band getting back in the swing of things; it's awesome."

Then again, no matter how much they've changed — and in spite of the success they've experience with their comeback — there is one thing that has remained the same: Fall Out Boy still suffer from chronically low self-esteem ... which, come ...

Ryan Gosling And The Backstreet Boys: What Could Have Been...

Lately, BSB have been working on a new album. It's the first in nearly seven years that includes all five members of the group after Kevin Richardson re-joined the boy band last year.

"It doesn't sound like 'The Call' or it doesn't sound like the Millennium album," Richardson told MTV News late last year about the release. "But it's fresh, it's new, we are trying to find where we are now sonically, and we are experimenting. It's really exciting."

BSB's In a World Like This tour dates are as follows: »8/2 -- Chicago, IL @ Chicago ...

‘Arrested Development’ Trailer: The Gang’s All Here

There are certain things you want from the Bluths: stair cars, bad magic, blinged out hook hands and potential cousin-on-cousin action. That's why the 90-second trailer for the upcoming reboot season of 
 is almost perfect.

The cult comedy is coming back on May 26 in a 15-episode all-at-once season on Netflix that brings us up to speed on what the key family members have been up to since we last saw them. And fans of the low-rated, but beloved original series will have plenty to love in the snapshots of the Bluths being, well, the Bluths.

A few highlights:
» The "sane one," Michael, opens the trailer at Phoenix's Sky Harbor airport, where he arrives in search of a new place to live, only to burn his hand on the super-heated door handle of a waiting taxi. He gets an unwelcome surprise in the next scene, when he pops in to visit son George Michael in his college dorm room ... where the freshman appears to be shacked up with his favorite cousin, Maebe.

» In a quick-cut montage we get re-introduced to the whole insane gang: Michael, Gob, Lindsay, George Michael, Lucille, Tobias Funke, George, Maebe and Buster, who is, of course, freaking out about something.

» The world's most confounding couple share a tender moment, when blonde beauty Lindsay tells sexually ambiguous Tobias, "I really love you," and he responds, "Oh, Lindsey, we've got to get you to that acting class."

» Family patriarch George telling someone over the phone, "I just want my son to have a ...

Doh! Justin Bieber Doesn’t Make Cut In ‘Simpsons’ Cameo

In classic fashion, the much-hyped Justin Bieber cameo on Sunday night's episode of "The Simpsons" was essentially a throw-away joke that you might have missed it if wasn't for an on-screen warning.

Bieber popped in briefly during an episode entitled in which Bart pretends to be a keyboard prodigy because he is smitten by his sexy Russian piano teacher.

"First of all, you're over 10 years old, second, you're clearly Justin Bieber," says the security guard at the entrance to the 10-And-Below talent show. An incredulous Bieber, wearing a Versace leather jacket and gray T-shirt, throws up his hands and says, "That's another 25 bucks we'll never see! Gosh!" Standing right behind him in a white hoodie, blue sport coat and NY baseball cap is manager Scooter Braun, who did not get a line in the bit.

After Bieber stomps off, the scene changes and the words, "All clear — The Simpsons will be Bieber-free from this point on." Just before his appearance, a similar warning popped up, "Thirty seconds to Justin Bieber, you may start or stop watching according to your beliefs."

Like Lady Gaga in 2011,
 Bieber played himself in the episode.

With the bucket list check off, Bieber joins a long, and illustrious list of famous musicians who've swung by Springfield (either as themselves or characters), including: three Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Katy Perry, Smashing Pumpkins, Cypress Hill, U2, Fall Out Boy, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Ramones, the White Stripes, R.E.M., Michael Jackson, Metallica, Britney Spears, 50 Cent and Coldplay's Chris Martin.
