VIDEO: Katy Perry Performs with Elmo on Sesame Street
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Collaborations, Videos, Pop,
UPDATE: Find out why the segment has been pulled from Sesame Street.
Apparently men aren’t the only ones who are “Hot N Cold” in Katy Perry‘s life. Muppets are too.
In this video for Sesame Street, the soon-to-be married singer struggles to act to figure out why Elmo is being so wishy-washy with her. “You don’t really want to play ... no. You just really want to go ... go,” she sings.
Maybe Elmo really just wants to see her run around in that dress? Just sayin’…

What Lady Gaga taught me: Small shows are better shows
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Editorials, Pop,
Obviously Lady Gaga has gained in popularity over the last 8 months or so, but even back when she was going to do the Fame Kills combo tour with Kanye West, she was seen as a legitimate draw…but then Kanye pulled out and she toured on her own, visiting smaller venues. This year she blew up, selling out arenas on her own. Having gone to both, I definitely prefer the smaller shows where everyone is up close and personal with the performer. Even more weird though, the staging and effects were twice as good at the smaller show, on the smaller stage, than they were at the larger dome show. Better effects, and an awesome 3D video backdrop (it’s hard to describe, but it was fantastic) definitely won out over what they put together for the bigger show. Go figure.
We’ve got two images from each event after the break - have a preference? Let us know in the comments.

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.

LFO Singer Loses Battle with Leukemia
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop,
Rich Cronin, lead singer for the musical group LFO, passed away this week after a long health battle. He was 36 years old.
Rich, who penned the trio’s breakout hit “Summer Girls,” was diagnosed with leukemia in 2005. Despite a number of setbacks—including chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant, a stroke and a return of the disease—Cronin was able to perform again with his former band members last summer.
“He was so happy,” Brad Fischetti told EW about Rich’s return to the stage. Although the group had hoped to hit the road again later this year, Cronin found himself back in the hospital.
“We really became soulmates,” Brad recalled about their last tour together. “Devin [Lima] and I both realized how much we loved him, despite the differences we had in the past. In New York City at the Highline Ballroom, he thanked the crowd at the end of the show. I’ll always have that voice in my mind, because it was such a sincere thank you. Really, that’s the memory that’s sticking out in my brain.”
