Flatts: They're Sharp!
You know, I'd like to pretend I'm extraordinarily interested in the current state of pop music-who's big, who's not, who wins awards, who doesn't, etc.--but there are times, I must admit, when I'd really rather be watching the season premieres of Game Of Thrones and The Killing rather than some dopey televised awards show!

'The Voice' Goes Live: Team Xtina vs. Team Blake vs. the Entire NBC Prop House
After weeks and weeks of blind-auditioning and boxing-ring battling, Season 2 of "The Voice" finally went live this Monday, as the half of the top 24 (the six singers on Team Xtina and the six representing Team Blake) competed for America's votes for the first time.

Nicki Minaj Mistakenly Abandons Rap For Pop On 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded'
Follow me on Facebook, Twitter. I can't blame Nicki Minaj for allowing the success of her highly successful debut, "Pink Friday," inspire the direction of her sophomore set, "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded," but the Young Money rapper-turnt-singer went overboard.

Bruce Springsteen, Framed
One of the biggest stories in music this year was the release of Bruce Springsteen's latest album, Wrecking Ball. The record debuted at #1 in 15 countries. BBC Music spoke of "masterful execution," and The New York Times said it included "some of Springsteen's most elaborate studio concoctions since Born to Run." Heck, even Y!

Whitney Houston's Last Role Unveiled In First 'Sparkle' Trailer
Follow me on Facebook, Twitter. Whitney Houston always portrayed the idolized, beautiful centerpiece in her movies " The Bodyguard," "Waiting To Exhale," " Cinderella" and " The Preacher's Wife." But the legendary pop singer who was found dead in her hotel room in February will show so much more depth in her last role in [...]

Chart Watch Extra: Happy Birthday Doris & Barbra
Nowadays, we take for granted that top female singers will have opportunities in film and television, but this wasn't always the case. Such "triple-threat" performers as Beyonce, J.Lo and Jennifer Hudson owe a debt to such pioneers as Doris Day and Barbra Streisand. Both of these legendary stars are having milestone birthdays this month.

Trailer Premieres for Jordin Sparks's 'Sparkle' Film Debut with Whitney Houston
Much attention has centered on Sparkle, the upcoming film starring Season 6 "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks, ever since Jordin's co-star Whitney Houston tragically died in February. Now the trailer for the film--featuring the first acting role for Jordin and, sadly, the last for Whitney--has premiered exclusively on Yahoo! Movies, and it looks like both [...]
