Fifth Harmony Challenge New Kids On The Block To Do Their ‘Right Stuff’ Dance … In Heels

by 34 mins ago

Listen up, New Kids on the Block. The girls of Fifth Harmony have a pretty big challenge for you.

They want you to do your iconic “You Got It (The Right Stuff)” choreography… in heels.

But there’s some back story: Fifth Harmony nailed the choreo in heels during their performance of the song on MTV’s “Faking It,” and it wasn’t easy, since they only had 90 minutes to learn the dance.

“We are also doing the classic little dance that they do, which I’m going to be doing to be doing every social gathering, and we had to do it in heels,” Camila said.

Then Normani threw down the gauntlet: “I think New Kids on the Block should do it in heels from now on.”

5H, or NKOTB 2.0 as we like to call them, performed at an underground party on “Faking It,” marking their first time performing on a TV show.

“Covering a boy band song is super super fun. I’m also a really big fan of the ’90s type of music. The track is really synthesized and you really get that ’90s sound,” Ally said before Lauren continued, “Shooting the scene was definitely a little awkward because we are used to the music being loud and in your face but there was just like a play back.”

Watch Fifth Harmony Totally Nail New Kids On The Block’s ‘You Got It (The Right Stuff)’

by 5 mins ago

Fifth Harmony have totally got the right stuff.

The girls — Normani, Ally, Lauren, Camila and Dinah — brought us back to the ’80s during their cameo on this week’s new episode of MTV’s “Faking It,” turning out a note-perfect performance of New Kids On The Block’s “You Got It (The Right Stuff).”

Rocking their ’80s-inspired NKOTB look, the girls, who were on hand during the episode to perform at an underground dance party, not only totally nail the iconic side-kick choreography from the video, but pretty much slay the vocals of the hit track.

Lauren kicks things off, taking on Jordan Knight’s verse, and in between some totally ’80s video transitions, Normani picks things up, followed by Camila. Before all joining forces for some pretty powerful “Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh’s,” Ally and Dinah trade off on the song’s bridge belting it out and making all “our dreams come true.”

What Is The One Thing Kourtney Kardashian Had To Give Up During Her Third Pregnancy?

by 42 mins ago

With reporting by Andres Tardio

Kourtney Kardashian may love being pregnant, but her feet don’t.

The reality star is expecting her third child with longtime boyfriend Scott Disick, and despite her always-glamorous maternity style, there is one thing she had to give up this time around: her high heels.

“I cannot wear high heels this time,” Kourtney told MTV News. “I almost fell the other night in Vegas, like, three times. I mean, not really — I mean, I can’t hold my balance.

“I went to a wedding Saturday night, had heels on and I did pretty good. I look at myself the first time, and I ran all over town in high heels. Just, life was just different then.”

Celebrity Sightings In Los Angeles - September 14, 2014

Her feet may also hurt because she’s running around caring for her two other children, 4-year-old Mason and 2-year-old Penelope, who we will see plenty of during this upcoming season of Kourtney’s new E! show, “Kourtney And Khloe Take The Hamptons.”

“I think I’m more tired this time having two other little ones at home,” Kourntey said of the biggest difference this third pregnancy has presented.

“And the sleeping situation is always interesting. Every night it’s different. Last night, I was in Mason’s room half the night, then I was in Penelope’s room half the night, just — I’m more tired. But, I am someone that loves to be ...

Justin Bieber Agrees With Selena Gomez: ‘Instagram Doesn’t Define You’

by 26 mins ago

Justin Beieber isn’t one to shy away from sharing his luxurious lifestyle with his millions of Beliebers on Instgram.

But what he wants you all to know is that those pics of his abs and his jet-setting lifestyle don’t define who he is, and your pictures shouldn’t either.

On Tuesday (October 28) the pop star posted this shot, with the caption, “For those who look at someone else’s Instagram and say I wish my life was like that. Know that often Instagram is not who people really are but who they want people to think they are. I’m choosing to not let other people define me.”

Preach it, Justin!

It seems like Justin may have been inspired by his on-and-off girlfriend Selena Gomez. Just last week, Selena spoke in front of a crowd at We Day Canada in Vancouver and said pretty much the same exact thing.

“I know what it’s like to be judged and be put down. I know what it’s like to have other people form opinions about you without even knowing you; trying to dim your light. I know what you guys go through because I go through it every single day,” she said. “It’s entirely normal to be pulled off course, and get in my mind and let that inside, and distract me from who I am, but if i did that it would drive me crazy. I want to say you are ...

15 Pro Tips That’ll Make You A Total Expert On Taylor Swift’s ’1989′ Album

by 4 mins ago

This may be the only time you ask yourself: ‘Is it Monday yet?’

That’s because Taylor Swift’s 1989 album is officially dropping, and it feels like we’ve been waiting our entire lives for October 27.

Now, Taylor has been nice enough to give us three tracks off the album, which all sound like perfection to my ears, but what else can you expect from her first all-pop LP?

Well, let us break it down for you. Here are 15 things you need to know about Taylor Swift’s brand-new 1989 album.

1. Welcome To New York

We may learn a lot about Taylor’s new love of her life: New York City. Calling it one of her biggest inspirations ever, she portrays a picture-perfect image of the “electric city” on the first track off the album, “Welcome To New York.” Oh, and get ready, because this is about to become the anthem for anyone looking to pack their bags and make the move.

2. And To The ’80s

Even though she was born in 1989, she probably doesn’t remember her short time in the fanny-pack, scrunchy era, but that doesn’t mean she wasn’t influenced by the “endless possibility” that the late ’80s had to offer. Taylor told Rolling Stone that she was inspired by her favorite ’80s acts like Annie Lennox, Phil Collins and “Like Prayer”-era Madonna.”

Fifth Harmony Just Gave Us A Huge Hit With ‘Sledgehammer’: Listen Now

by 8 mins ago

Harmonizers: you’ve been hit with a sledgehammer, but I don’t think any of you are complaining.

The girls of Fifth Harmony teased that their new single “Sledgehammer” was on its way, but on Thursday night, San Francisco radio station 104.3 premiered the track, and it is everything.

5H, who showed off their fierceness with their first single “Bo$$” off their upcoming album Reflection, are taking a more vulnerable approach to this track as they sing about the emotions they feel when they’re next to a guy that they like.

“I struggle to contain/ All the love that’s in my veins and how it circulates/ If you take my pulse right now it would feel just like a sledgehammer/ If you could feel my heartbeat now it would hit you like a sledgehammer,” they sing.

The girls’ voices blend perfectly over this pure pop mid-tempo song that shows their range. With a topic that anyone can relate to, we have a feeling this could be another hit song for the girls — even if it doesn’t have any Michelle Obama references.

No surprise here: Harmonizers are completely loving the new song, leaving them screaming in class and thankful to have it stuck in their head.

Others have been listening to it so much already that they may have found themselves in some trouble.

It’s going to be a big month for 5H, who are not only performing at the MTV EMA kickoff special ...

Taylor Swift Is Deathly Afraid That One Day She’ll Be Framed For Murder … Seriously

by 17 mins ago

Don’t expect Taylor Swift to get anywhere near the water, and no, it’s not because she’s afraid of sharks. Her far bigger fear can be summed up in two words.

Sea Urchins.

Yes, those spiny little suckers have the “Shake it Off” singer completely terrified.

“They are like a grenade, they are sitting there waiting to completely injure you to the point where … you can’t see a sea urchin if you’re in the Caribbean,” Taylor began to explain during an appearance on the “Ellen DeGeneres Show,” which airs on Monday (October 27). “You’re like, ‘This water is so beautiful, it’s amazing.’

“[But] you can’t see a sea urchin is right there and you step on one and it has barbs and it goes into whatever it touches and then you have to go into the emergency room and it has to be surgically removed,” she continued. “You could lose your foot, you could lose your hand, you could lose your hand trying to get it off of your foot. I don’t like sea urchins.”

Clearly, Taylor, who’s about to drop her album on 1989 Monday, has given this a lot of thought. Ellen, however, was quick to point out that sea urchins can only “puncture and injure you and cause swelling and redness.”

So that means she can stop totally stop worrying about those sea creatures and completely focus her attention on her other irrational fear: being framed and going to prison. No joke.

Kim Kardashian Plans To Make North West Get A Job

by 3 mins ago

North West may have two of the most famous parents in the world (and the bank account to match), but that doesn’t mean she’s going to have a free ride in life.

That’s right, because once Nori is old enough, she’s going to have to get herself a job, just like her mom, Kim Kardashian, did when she was younger.

“I was saying that earlier to my friends, ‘I wonder what [North's] first job is gonna be.’ And they were like, ‘What? She’s gonna have a job?’ and I was like, ‘Are you kidding me? Of course she is,’ ” Kim shared with London’s Evening Standard magazine. “She will have to work for what she wants.”

Little North is already well on her way, booking a gig posing for CR Fashion Book and landing a spot in Vogue magazine — not bad for a 16-month-old!

But since Nori’s still in diapers, Kim agreed it’s still “too early to tell” what her daughter’s profession will be, though the reality star speculated that “maybe she’ll be a designer” like her dad, Kanye West.

And if North wants certain things at a young age, she’s going to have to work for that too — a lesson Kim learned from her parents when she was a teen.

“I saved up for this Dolce & Gabbana dress I really wanted or, like, in high school these Prada shoes that my parents wouldn’t buy me and I remember they were $400, and I ...

Selena Gomez Tells Fans To Make Like Taylor Swift And ‘Just Shake It Off’ In Inspiring Speech

by 19 mins ago

Selena Gomez, you are truly an inspiration.

The singer/actress took a timeout from her hosting duties at We Day Canada in Vancouver on Wednesday to give an emotional, encouraging and truly inspirational speech to fans, reminding them that even though she may be super famous, she still goes through the same hardships that they all face.

“I’ve been on TV since I was 9 years old so I didn’t really have a typical childhood. When people look at me they don’t see a 22-year-old trying to figure it out as she goes, they see what they want to see and that comes with a lot of expectations,” Selena said.

“I know what it’s like to be judged and be put down,” she continued. “I know what it’s like to have other people form opinions about you without even knowing you; trying to dim your light. I know what you guys go through because I go through it every single day.”

Selena has had several ups and downs this past year, from a voluntary rehab stint to her on-again, off again relationship with Justin Bieber, and it seemed like everyone — fans and haters — have had an opinion about it. But Selena, being the girl-power queen that she is, isn’t letting the negativity stand in her way.

“I don’t let it get to me,” she told the crowd. “It’s entirely normal to be pulled off course, and get in my mind and ...
