We Can Get Behind This Teaser For Iggy Azalea’s ‘Booty’ Remix Video

by 9 mins ago

Jennifer Lopez’s “Booty” remix featuring Iggy Azalea may have only just dropped today, but the Australian rapper has already begun teasing the song’s music video on Instagram. Judging by the preview, which she posted on Instagram, there will be lots of booty featured in the final clip — you know, in case you assumed otherwise.

To back it up for a sec, J.Lo first revealed the “Booty” remix on an episode of “House Of Style”, and she made a second announcement while introducing the “Black Widow” rapper’s performance with Rita Ora at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night. Lopez told the crowd that she “was a fan of this girl since she was grinding on mixtapes” — back when Iggy started from the bottom, if you will.

Wait, Is That Ed Sheeran Dumping An Ice Bucket On Courteney Cox?

by 9 mins ago

How did Ed Sheeran celebrate his 2014 MTV Video Music Awards win for Best Male Video? By pouring a bucket of ice-cold water over Courteney Cox’s head, duh.

OK, so the “Cougar Town” actress was actually taking the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (I know, I had never heard of it either) after being nominated by former “Friends” co-star Jennifer Aniston on August 24. Speaking of nominations, Cox chose actress Isla Fisher and Snow Patrol’s Gary Lightbody and Johnny McDaid, which makes sense seeing as how McDaid is her fiancé.

Selecting Ed, who took the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge on August 18, as her ice-bucket wingman makes sense, too — despite how random it seems. The “Sing” crooner was actually the one who hooked Courteney up with Johnny in the first place, and he’s apparently spent many a night crashing at the actress’ California beach house.

So, the Courteney-Ed connection all makes sense now, right? Nope, still random. Dump that ice bucket!

Lorde Wins Zero VMAs For Her Nick Jonas Comedy Routine

by 1 min ago

Nick Jonas had quite the night at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, and I’m not just referring to the award-worthy selfie he took with Demi Lovato and his girlfriend, Olivia Culpo. The onetime member of the Jonas Brothers also got to meet Lorde, at whom he later tweeted his congratulations for her Best Rock Video VMA win.

The “Royals” singer took this opportunity to flex her comedy muscles, but I feel like she probably should have warmed up with some comedy bench-presses first. Or maybe some comedy squats. Like, even just a leisurely 0.5-mph spin on the reclining bike with the TV hookup. #NoJudgmentZone

OK, Lorde, you got this.

Now set up the joke.

Not even three years old, and Blue Ivy Carter is already a VMA winner! OK, so the royal progeny of Beyoncé and Jay Z didn’t exactly take home an official Moonman at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, but, um… SHUT UP. We’re still gonna award her this animated GIF.

The VMAs Are Here! Prepare Yourself Emotionally With These Crying GIFs!

by 11 mins ago

What’s got a nose and two tear ducts and is completely unprepared for the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards tonight? Give up? IT’S YOU. If you looked up the word “prepared” in the dictionary, your picture would be nowhere to be found. If you were to watch SpongeBob sing his “I’m ready! I’m ready!” song right now, you’d be all, “Hmmmm, I can’t relate.” YOU ARE NOT READY AT ALL. Got it? Good.

Don’t give up, though, because there’s still one way that you can properly prepare your emotions for the completely out-of-control performances by Nicki Minaj and 5 Seconds Of Summer, the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, which will be bestowed upon Beyonce, Nicki Minaj‘s big VMA performance, and everything else you’re about to witness: this pile of crying GIFs below. They just might be your only hope.

Resistance is futile. Let the weeping commence.

Watch Fifth Harmony Give Hollywood Harmonizers The Surprise Of A Lifetime

by 1 min ago

The Fifth Harmony-related events that transpired on August 23 were truly insane. Like, the only way to top what went down would be if Oprah Winfrey came out at the end of the evening to gift each and every person within a five-mile radius a Brand-New Car™ stuffed with the finest pashmina scarves and a lifetime supply of Teavana.

I know I’m getting ahead of myself, but I just want to warn you that the information I’m about to tell you is kind of like an onion: there are layers upon layers upon layers of surprises to peel back, and you may or may not be left in tears by story’s end.

5h, fifth harmonyInstagram

Let’s rewind back to the beginning. Hundreds of teens descended upon L.A.’s Hollywood And Highland Center (which you probably don’t remember as place where the “Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency” office was located until Season 4, but I do) on Saturday for a pre-VMA meetup with YouTubers Andrea Russett, Ricky Dillon, Jenn McAllister (a.k.a. jennxpenn), and noted Friday enthusiast Rebecca Black.

We so excited? Obviously. But, wait — there’s more.

After snapping some selfies with their literal legion of fans, the online personalities exited the stage for a 10-minute break while DJ Cole Plante whipped the crowd into an impromptu dance party. After cycling through Ariana Grande’s Read More →

Ariana Grande (Kind Of) Takes The Ice Bucket Challenge And Other Things You Missed From Her Twitter Takeover

by 16 mins ago

You know how literally every celebrity ever has taken the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by now? Add Ariana Grande to that list — sort of.

During her @MTV Twitter Takeover on Friday, August 22, the “Break Free” singer revealed that even though she hadn’t yet posted a video of herself getting all drenched and frozen, she did make a donation to support research to find a cure for ALS (a.k.a. Lou Gehrig’s Disease), which is kind of the whole point behind the Ice Bucket Challenge BTW.

Claps for Ari? Claps for Ari.

That’s not all Ariana revealed during the Twitter Takeover.

tumblr_inline_n6gjscfm0i1ripgeb

When’s her next tour? Funny you should ask, because you’ll find out in September.

Did I say tour? Something tells me I should’ve said “world tour.”

Will Ariana change up her hair? Uh…no.

Or, maybe she will! It’s really not that big a deal.

She’ll totally support you in your radical hair adventures, though.

Much like Arianators nationwide, she’s equal parts nervous and excited about performing “Break Free” and “Bang Bang” at the VMAs.

Which sidebar, could only be more incredible if we had access to zero-gravity technology and on-demand Jane Fonda.

Ariana’s getting her VMA inspo from Madonna.

Closing thoughts? Ariana’s already got a few favorite tracks on My Everything (out August 25).

She likes “real things” like family, friends, and twerking.

And, “suck my ass”? Really?

Not today, haters.

Sam Smith Loves His Fans — Even The Rando Who Tracked Down His Number And Texted Him

by 1 min ago

I am, at times, pretty shameless and needy — I’ll admit it. That’s probably why I felt compelled to ask Sam Smith about his plans for a second album a mere two months after the release of his debut full-length, In The Lonely Hour.

And to quote Madonna: “Absolutely no regrets.”

Backstage at The Forum during a rehearsal for his performance at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, the “I’m Not The Only One” singer revealed that he thinks “every day” about the second record, although he’d rather not force the creative process.

“I’ve just got to go live my life, kiss a few people, and fall in love, fall out of love. I’m going to really concentrate on just living in the moment and writing about what’s real.”

I mean, Sam’s probably not lacking for material right now. There’s the sold-out American tour kicking off in September, the unstoppable chart-topping success of both In The Lonely Hour and “Stay With Me” — not to mention some, um, “interesting” moments in recent memory.

“Someone texted me!” said the 22-year-old Brit, who is nominated for Artist To Watch and Best Male Video at this Sunday’s ceremony. “A fan got my number the other week and texted me.”

Will the overzealous rando who did this please stand up? Don’t worry, Sam totally gets that it “comes from a really nice place” ...
