'Voice' Popera Star Chris Mann Talks Debut Album, Second Chances…and Purrfect's Catty Little Secret
Team Xtina's Chris Mann may have placed fourth on Season 2 of "The Voice"--which may or may not have had something to do with his controversial coach's TV feud with Team Adam's third-place contestant, Tony Lucca--but now it seems like nice guys don't always finish last in the long run. Sometimes they end up with [...]

Exclusive Video: 'SYTYCD' Fave Kent Boyd Guests on 'Bunheads'
Season 7 runner-up Kent Boyd is arguably one of "So You Think You Can Dance's" most beloved alums, and he doesn't dance across my television screen nearly often enough. I'm still hoping he'll show up on "SYTYCD" at some point this season as an allstar, but until then, Boydheads like myself can get their fix [...]

Eve Lucky She Ended Relationship With Ex, 'Love & Hip Hop Atlanta' Star Stevie J
Old school Eve fans will remember the days the former first lady of the Ruff Ryders was engaged to producer and now Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star Stevie J. Did I mention that I took a shower and got down on my knees and prayed for forgiveness after watching the first episode of Love [...]

Janet Cleared Of Slapping Paris, Lol
TMZ's headline "Janet Jackson Did Not Slap or Verbally Abuse Paris Jackson" is arguably the best article title ever. While I didn't think a confrontation between an aunt and niece was anything out of the ordinary, I didn't want to believe last week's reports that things between Janet and Paris got that out of control. [...]

J. Long Abandons R&B And Goes Gospel With 'Shake The Devil Off'
You might not recognize former R&B artist J. Long with his shirt on. In 2008, the La Marque, Texas artist made impressive headway as a fast-rising hip-hop singer, who would eventually team up with fellow bump-n-grind crooners Pretty Rick. The group is featured on the 2010 version of his top 5 hit "Personal Freak." But [...]

Listen To Melanie Amaro's Unnecessarily Auto-Tuned New Single
Melanie Amaro may not have been "The X Factor" Season 1's most current-sounding contestant (that would have been Marcus Canty), its most charismatic (Astro), coolest (Josh Krajcik, Drew Ryniewicz), or even most sympathetic (Chris Rene, natch). But she definitely had one thing going for her: THAT VOICE. Melanie was arguably the most technically perfect vocalist [...]

Week Ending July 29, 2012. Songs: 6 Million In Record Time
"Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye featuring Kimbra reaches the 6 million sales mark in just its 30th week. That lopped four months off the previous speed record for a digital hit, which was held by "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO featuring Lauren Bennett & GoonRock.

Steven Tyler Glad To Be Taking Permanent Vacation From 'Idol'
During his underwhelming two-season stint on "American Idol," Steven Tyler was basically the least effective judge this side of Ellen DeGeneres--with a vocabulary that was pretty much limited to two adjectives ("beautiful" and "over-the-top"), a seemingly genetically predisposed allergic reaction to actual constructive criticism, and a transparent-as-one-of-his-rocker-scarves agenda that involved promoting Aerosmith's imminent comeback whenever [...]

Chart Watch Extra: Close But No Cigar
There's a saying in the music business that the worst places to peak on the Hot 100 are #2, #11 and #41. The reason, of course, is that an artist came so close to #1, or the top 10 or the top 40, and just missed. The artist won't get the headlines, congratulatory messages and [...]

Last week, Season 11 "American Idol" champion Phillip Phillips was presented with his first gold record plaque, for his coronation single "Home"--and now the song is going gold in a whole other way, now that it has become a coronation song of sorts for another popular televised competition, the London Olympics.

Who's The Most Popular Music Artist–Ever–On Facebook?
Facebook wall, Facebook wall...who's the most popular musician of all? If you made the credible guess of Lady Gaga, you're wrong! Rapper Eminem has pulled ahead of the shock-pop queen--and in fact, has set a record with the amount of likes his music page has received to date. So, just how many Facebook users like [...]

Week Ending July 29, 2012. Albums: Dog Days Of Summer
Zac Brown Band's Uncaged returns to #1 in its third week on The Billboard 200, displacing Nas' Life Is Good, which debuted on top last week. Uncaged sold just 48K copies, the fourth lowest total in Nielsen SoundScan history for an album at #1. And it's the lowest total outside of winter when it's cold [...]
