Taylor Swift Is the New Face of Diet Coke

. 28 January 2013

“I wanted to share some news with you,” Taylor Swift said in a new video message to her fans, “because we’re finally making it official with one of the great loves of my life.” No, it’s not Harry Styles. Or Conor Kennedy. Or Taylor Lautner, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Eddie Redmayne, Tim Tebow, Chord Overstreet … or any of the rest that we’re probably forgetting. Swift’s great love? Diet Coke! “We’ve been in conversations about this partnership,” Swift continued. “It’s gonna include so many fun things having to do with the tour, having to do with Diet Coke in general, a behind-the-scenes of the commercial,” she gushed. “I really can’t wait to begin all this, and it’s going to be an extraordinary ride.” The saccharine-sweet Swift is the perfect match for the saccharine-sweetene...

Beyonce Shares Another Super Bowl Rehearsal Photo, Possibly References Lip-Sync Drama

. 28 January 2013

Instagram Beyonce has shared another photo of herself during the rehearsals for next week’s Super Bowl. However, some people are speculating about whether or not the singer is referencing the lip-sync drama regarding the second inauguration of President Barack Obama with her rehearsal attire. In the black and white pic, Bey is sporting a sweatshirt, leggings, a baseball cap and sunglasses as she rehearses. Her shirt reads: “Can I Live?” Is that a reference to being able to sing live at a major event like a presidential swearing in? You never know. It could be subtle and coy, or perhaps just a coincidence. Or it could be the singer poking a little fun at herself, since this discussion about her performance has been active and heated for several days. Additionally, ‘Can I Liv?’ is a song by ...

What is certain, though, is that King B poised to show why she occupies the thrown next week. And we, quite literally, can’t wait! Source

Nicki Minaj Talks Nicknames + 'American Idol' Feuds and Performs on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'

. 27 January 2013

Nicki Minaj took over ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ last night (Jan. 25), not in the Matt Damon way, but in the simultaneous musical guest and major interview guest way. Not only was the Harajuku Barbie supremely entertaining, but she also revealed just how the ‘American Idol‘ panel works together. Hint: She doesn’t think Mariah Carey is a big fan of hers. One thing we noticed? Minaj is fond of air kisses — she didn’t actually touch Kimmel’s face, nor her own hand when she blew kisses to her Barbz in the audience when she was introduced. Gotta keep that hot pink lipstick on point! Kimmel actually called her out on it, too. “What’s with the air kiss you gave me when you came out here?” he asked, jokingly indignant. “You don’t kiss people?!” Minaj, wearing a skintight, wild printed Robert Cavalli suit...

. 27 January 2013

As the world of Pop falls deeper into 2013, it’s clear to see that this year will provide no shortage of hotly anticipated music. Of course, there’s Beyonce‘s fifth studio album, Justin Timberlake‘s third LP and Britney Spears‘ eighth, and now- in serving as one of the year’s newcomers- Elijah Blake readies the release of his debut effort, following the launch of ‘Bijoux 22‘ last year. So, as to oil his machine before setting its wheels in motion, he releases the lyric video for his single ‘XOX’, featuring ‘Electric Circus‘ Rapper Common. Enjoy below… The video’s arrival came days before Marsha Ambrosius’ ‘Cold War’- which he penned alongside Diplo- saw its own video unveiled here, and weeks after he scored multiple Grammy nominations for his work on Usher‘s Hot 100 smash ‘Climax’ and ...

Beyoncé Knowles – the 26-year-old soulstress from Destiny’s Child – is not only one of the great survivors of the music industry, but also someone who cares deeply about people.

The list of charities she supports is both long and varied, but perhaps the greatest contribution she has made is the Survivor Foundation, an organization she founded with fellow Destiny’s Child Kelly Rowland to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. The foundation’s accomplishments are many, including the Music World Cares Christmas Carnival that enabled over 300 low-income households to enjoy a fun-filled day of food, entertainment, a visit from Santa Claus and free toys from the toy giveaway. The singer also held a series of food drives before her concerts in 2006 to collect the food that was so desperately needed by victims.

Beyoncé was also an Ambassador for the 2005 World Children’s Day, and released “Stand Up For Love,” the anthem for the event which takes place annually around the world on November 20 to raise awareness and funds for children’s causes.

Beyoncé donated a handbag to an auction benefitting Women's Fund for Scotland. But her concern for people is sometimes more discreet, as was shown when she visited two people who were injured during a fireworks accident at one of her concerts, arriving at the hospital shortly after the concert ended. Head nurse Darryl Williams said, “She was just very concerned about the people injured in the audience. It was unannounced and we kept it very low-key so that she could spend time with them.
