Sneak Peek: Watch Justin Bieber Perform ‘Baby’ Live On MTV.com

Filed under justin bieber, Videos by on March 19, 2010 at 10:59 am {no comments}

This past Tuesday, Justin Bieber shot his live acoustic set for MTV.com, and needless to say we're still suffering from a raging case of Bieber fever. Now, as promised, we're lifting the lid off of his performance, and first up is a sneak peek at his acoustic performance of "Baby."

You can watch the whole MTV.com performance on Tuesday, March 23rd, which, coincidentally is when he'll unleash his new album, My World 2.0, on the world. But you already knew that because you're his biggest fan. Oh, and WAIT! Speaking of his biggest fans, see below for the names of the lucky Twitter fans Justin Bieber dedicated a song to.

@LegitBieberFans Nicole from Minnesota. She creates all of her own Justin Bieber icons and backgrounds.

@lindseyfordd = Lindsey from Atlanta. She said she would paint herself purple if Justin followed her, and he did!

@cammyelisabeth = Cammy Elisabeth from Virginia. She thinks Justin should get to meet Chuck Norris and loves the lyrics to "That Should Be Me" so much they made her cry.

@alexislovesJDB = Alexis Teeter from Knoxville, Tennessee. Justin follows her -- she knows the exact date and time he started following it and calls it the best day of her life.

SUGAR RUSH! Lady Gaga, Beyonce And Michael Jackson Get Immortalized In Candy!

Filed under Lady Gaga by on March 18, 2010 at 3:17 pm {no comments}

We've seen Lady Gaga made of recycled junk, a tasty batch of Lady Gaga cookies, and Lady Gaga as Barbie. It was only a matter of time before the world would know Lady Gaga made of candy. The above image is by artist Enrique Ramos, who utilized Gummy Bears, licorice, M&Ms, and other delicious uses for sugar to create a piece of Lady Gaga art made out of candy. Mmm... licorice corset. Should you ever find yourself at a Ripley’s Believe It or Not!... museum or... whatever... that's where you can see them.

Check out his Beyonce made of candy and the legendary Michael Jackson made of candy. Now please allow me to excuse myself as I lick the screen.

The Shamrock Shake Rides Again In New York City

Filed under Deals & Gear by on March 17, 2010 at 6:49 pm {no comments}

As the unofficial president of the McDonald's Shamrock Shake Club (I appointed myself, you see), I was OUTRAGED that I didn't receive a bulletin, email, carrier pigeon message, or calligraphed notice that the Shamrock Shake -- McDonald's limited-edition, regionally elusive green mint shake -- had returned to New York City after an overly long hiatus. As a kid growing up in the Midwest, getting my hands on one of those delectable minty shakes was no more difficult than a quick trip to the local McD's. But in years past, finding a Shamrock Shake in New York City has been a feat more challenging than finding your own apartment in Manhattan for under $1,000.

Anyway, I heard rumors that the Times Square McDonald's (i.e -- the McDonald's RIGHT DOWN THE STREET from where I work at MTV) had Shamrock Shakes, and I had to substantiate those Shamrock Shake rumors for myself. So I and about 12 other MTV staffers from the 17th floor crammed into an elevator and made the fast walk over to McDonald's even faster. And... AND! Lo and behold -- SHAMROCK SHAKES! There was only a small sign at the register heralding their arrival. I could not BELIEVE there wasn't, like an electronic scrolling marquee outside. Or a plane flying a Shamrock Shake flag. While skywriting S-H-A-M-R-O-C-K S-H-A-K-E. Nevertheless, $2.39-ish later, the 12 of us had Shamrock Shakes in our hands, and they tasted like tasty mint and childhood.

Giddy with anticipation.

Okay, truth be told, Shamrock Shakes taste like little more than generic melted mint chocolate chip ice cream (Um... I guess because... That's what they are?) They're about as authentically Irish as a box of Lucky Charms. Still, it was totally worth the trip. Oh, and apparently the Shamrock Shakes are available in New York City for a few weeks, or, "until the liquid runs out," (uh, yum?), so if you were too busy drinking green beer today, no worries. You have time.

We ordered kind of a lot.

SHAMROCK SHAKE SUCCESS!

Mission accomplished.

Crushed.

The Sweetest Little Cover Of Lady Gaga’s ‘Telephone’

Filed under Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Videos by on March 17, 2010 at 4:12 pm {no comments}

Stop what you're doing and check out this sweet, swingy cover of Lady Gaga's "Telephone." If you've already watched it, watch it again. It's by painfully cute Cali guy-girl duo Pomplamoose -- really Nataly and Jack, who've succeeded in proving that YES, you actually CAN be cuter than She & Him). They've turned Gaga's ferocious dancefloor hit — and Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" into an Apples In Stereo/Call & Response-esque, skipping-down-the-street-whistling experience. It's the musical equivalent of a gorgeous spring day.

As much as I would LOVE to be the proud owner of a Proenza Schouler PS1 bag in a gorgeous springy teal, I'm blogging on more of a Billabong budget than a Barneys bank account. Still, spring is here, and it's time to dump that stuffy, gloomy grey/ midnight blue/ black bag you've been toting around all winter (as well as its contents) and spring forward into some cute handbags that don't complement your Uggs. (Wait... you're not still wearing Uggs, are you?)

Check out six spring handbags -- in fun florals, pretty prints, strong shapes, and big, bold colors -- for under $50 each!

I JUST got back from Justin Bieber's live MTV.com performance today (I sang "U Smile" the whole way back to the office), and seriously, it was nothing short of liquid gold. That voice is the equivalent of atomic number 79. But back to the show: It was just me, Justin Bieber (and Dan!), backed by the boys of Legaci, a small group of some VERY lucky fans (freaking out, as one does), and a couple of MTV cameras here in New York City. Highlights included, well, every song he sang, including his new single, "U Smile," "Baby," "Never Let You Go," "That Should Be Me," "One Time" and "One Less Lonely Girl."

You can check out exclusive videos of Justin Bieber's MTV.com performance on Tuesday, March 23, but for now, get an inside look at the performance with these brand-new photos.

New Video: Lady Gaga Featuring Beyonce, ‘Telephone’

Filed under Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Videos by on March 12, 2010 at 9:04 am {no comments}

It's here! Lady Gaga's "Telephone" video is FUH-I-NALLY here! So put down the brown paper bag you've been breathing into and allow yourself a much-needed sigh of relief as Gaga goes to jail, shares a smooch with ... a butch chick? Dude? Whatever! Who cares? Gaga looks like Desperately Seeking Susan–era Madonna! She wraps herself in crime scene tape! Adeptly makes tasty-looking sammies! Kills Tyrese with Beyonce! And makes prison look even sexier than it does in Chicago.

While "Telephone" isn't my favorite of her extended-play/long-version cinematic videos (my favorite being "Paparazzi"), and it doesn't trump the stunning effects and shock and awe of "Bad Romance," it's certainly the funniest and most satirical work Gaga's done. A play on mid-century TV commercials? Gaga and Beyonce as a Bonnie and Clyde killer duo? All. That. Tarantino? Knowing winks at the camera? CHOMPING ON A HONEYBUN? What's not to love? For as intense as Gaga can be, she's clearly got a lighter side, and that biting wit is laced throughout the tongue-in-cheek video, directed by Jonas Akerlund.

Okay. Enough me. More you — you're watching "Telephone." Did it live up to your expectations?

Being Bieber: Go Behind The Scenes Of Justin Bieber’s Valentine’s Day Show

Filed under justin bieber, Videos by on March 12, 2010 at 8:42 am {no comments}

With an insane schedule of album promo — My World 2.0 is out March 23 — sold-out concerts, Tweeting, school, and staying in crisp tees, hoodies, and box-fresh kicks, you'd think Justin Bieber would be a total stress case. When really? No. Dude stays cooler than a block of ice while melting hearts and keeping girls less lonely.

And speaking of hearts, Justin Bieber probably broke every heart at the Hollywood Palladium when he played a swoon-filled Valentine's Day concert. Check out this footage of the characteristically chill Bieber rolling into the Palladium and discussing My World 2.0 before his big show on Valentine's Day. And preorder Justin's new album, My World 2.0, and watch his exclusive QVC QSessions Live performance again tonight at 10/9c on QVC.

Are These The Ugliest Shoes In America?

Filed under Celeb Style by on March 11, 2010 at 3:55 pm {no comments}

Giuseppe Zanotti and his outrageously over-the-top stilettos are some of the hottest, most expensive and most bonkers shoes on the market and on the red carpet. Like, think Lady Gaga in shoe form. Beyonce wore a cray-cray pair of Giuseppe Zanotti peep-toe boots at the 2010 GRAMMYs, and Alicia Keys, Fergie, Jennifer Lopez and more risk-takers of the celebrity footwear world have worn Zanottis. You know? You know. So don't get me wrong — I would LOVE to get my feet into a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti heels. Just not THESE Giuseppe Zanotti heels. I mean, I really do love America and the First Amendment, but these stars-and-stripes heels are in flagrant violation of both. If only I had a time machine, so I could take a trip back to the past and warn myself against looking at them.

Katy Perry Blasts Sky Ferreira On Twitter

Filed under Twitter by on March 11, 2010 at 1:03 pm {no comments}

Oh Katy Perry. Sky Ferreira! You two kiss and make up and play nicer! Aren't these two supposed to be friendies? Is that any way to talk to a friend? So, singer-songwriter Sky Ferreira (who's Katy Perry's labelmate!) Tweeted "Sorry, but how the f--- have some people heard songs off my album?" To which Katy Perry haughtily blasted a nasty retort, suggesting "Maybe u should stop sleeping with so many DJs." ICE! COLD! Is this a case of real-life girls behaving badly, or just some cheeky drumming up of publicity?

In case you're wondering what Sky Ferreira's sound's all about, think pouty electro-pop in the vein of Uffie (with whom she's collaborated), plus a little modern-day Blondie, met with a slightly poppier Bat For Lashes.
