Last night, Kanye West returned to Saturday Night Live and made the stage his own.
For his performances of “Power” and “Runaway,” the rapper ditched the normal backdrop and went with an eye-catching sea of white.

Although we normally see Justin Timberlake doing musical collaborations with Andy Samberg, that doesn’t mean he can’t pair up with other SNL vets.

(Artists highlighted in the performance include Jay-Z, The Sugarhill Gang, Beastie Boys, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Missy Elliott, Digital Underground and Kanye West.)

VIDEO: Maybe-Pregnant Mariah Carey Stumbles on Stage
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Performances, Videos, Pop,
Although we do not know yet whether Mariah Carey is indeed pregnant, there is one thing we do know about the singer: she won’t let a minor fall keep her from making a show happen.
Over the weekend, Carey was entertaining a crowd in Singapore when the $10,000 heels she was wearing got the best of her. But being the consummate performer that she is, Mariah got herself right back up and finished singing – while simultaneously having the shoes removed from her feet.
That’s a diva who gets the job done.

VIDEO: Rihanna Talks VMAs, New Album and Acting Debut
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Performances, Upcoming Releases, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop, R&B / Soul,
Although Eminem will be performing “Love the Way You Lie” at the Video Music Awards tomorrow, his musical partner won’t be there during the opening number.
Rihanna, who is currently filming Battleship in Hawaii, will be too busy to make the annual event. But from the sounds of it, she doesn’t really care.
“I definitely wish I could be there for Eminem. He’s performing the song we did together. It would have been nice to do it, but he understands. Obviously right now I’m doing something that is a priority to me,” she said about her acting debut. “The VMAs will be there next year. I’ll have a lot more music out by then.”
Speaking of new music, Rihanna promises her upcoming CD will take us “through a really interesting ride.” “The name of the album reflects the attitude,” Rihanna added. “It really grabs your attention.”
Loud hits stores on November 16.

-Eminem’s publishing company is owed money by Universal Music Group, according to the U.S. Court of Appeals. It was ruled that UMG needs to pay royalties for iTunes purchases and ringtone sales.

VIDEO: American Idols Deliver Flat Performance on GMA
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Performances, Videos, Covers,
Let’s face it - this would have been an embarrassing performance even if Lady Gaga hadn’t been performing in the exact same city…at the exact same time.
Although a record crowd got to see a dynamic performance from the “Bad Romance” singer courtesy of the Today show, fans of American Idol were dished an out-of-tune spectacle during Good Morning America‘s event Friday morning.
If you were secretly hoping that the group’s cover of Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You” would sound better live than it does in rehearsal, you’ll be sadly disappointed by this clip. Making it worse? The version of Bon Jovi’s “It’s My Life” they added to it.
