Jonas Brothers Talk Miley Cyrus And Justin Bieber In Their Funniest Interview Ever
Posted by on September 3rd, 2010
(Credit: Kevin Kane/WireImage)
Celebrities do a lot of interviews, and sometimes it feels like if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. But believe me when I tell you, you’ve never seen a interview like the one you’re about to watch.
Here’s what you will likely take from this interview, culled from a chat between MTV Canada personality Paul “The Intern” Lemieux (who works with ) and the Jonas Brothers: a) Paul is incredibly funny, b) the Jonas Brothers have a pretty good sense of humor about themselves, and c) they’ve clearly teased Kevin about his nuptials.
In the Jonas Brothers interview below, the seemingly unaware Brothers fall victim to Paul “The Intern”‘s willful obtuseness and general weirdness, and they seem to enjoy ever single second of it. Incredible stuff here about going to heaven, Walt Disney, (watch their reactions when Paul tells them Justin Bieber choked out a cop), and more.

Nicki Minaj Joins Foo Fighters And Ludacris Among VMA Pre-Show Luminaries
Posted by on September 3rd, 2010
The action at the is certain to head up early, as when she performs on the pre-show. She’ll be rolling out her hit single “Your Love,” and what’s more, Minaj will be Minaj will be hosting a Twitter contest in which 10 fans will win a front-row seat to watch her performance (follow both and for more details).
Minaj will be continuing on a tradition of high-profile artists who are able to use the VMA pre-show to make a big impression on the music world at large. A number of artists have used the VMA pre-show as a coming out party. Performances were first integrated into the pre-show in 1995, which saw Silverchair perform two songs (“Tomorrow” and “Pure Massacre”) from their post-grunge debut Frogstomp. The following year, No Doubt and Beck both played the pre-show, establishing that being the opening act for the MTV Video Music Awards was a spot reserved for only high-profile and most buzz-heavy artists. Other future VMA regulars playing the pre-show include Rihanna, Blink-182, Ludacris and Fall Out Boy.
There was even an historic moment in rock history during a performance at the VMA pre-show. During the 1997 show, Foo Fighters guitarist Pat Smear announced that said show would be his last, and he was replaced for their second song by replacement ax man Franz Stahl (who was later replaced by current guitarist Chris Shifflet; Smear has since rejoined the band). Will there be any game-changing moments at this year’s pre-show? You’ll have to tune into the pre-show live on Sunday, September 12 at 8 p.m. on MTV.
The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on September 12 at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to (or text VMA to 97979 for Verizon subscribers) to vote for the winners from now through September 12.

B.o.B’s ‘Magic’ Video: The Key Scene
Posted by on September 3rd, 2010
The transition from mixtape dynamo to above-ground hip-hop star can be tricky, and it’s an even more impressive feat when you can leap into a role as a mainstream genre-bending pop sensation. But that is exactly what has done over the past year, applying his laser-sharp flow and his passion for wordplay to tracks that borrow from old-school hip-hop, radio rock, mainstream R&B and whatever else he feels like twisting. He has had a busy week, as he on Thursday night (September 2) and also the anthemic track from his debut that features frontman Rivers Cuomo singing the hook.
The clip finds B.o.B stumbling into a somewhat benign dream world, where women eat their Fruity Pebbles out of the bathroom sink and open doors in his house suddenly lead to Eden-like gardens (complete with digital flamingos). Eventually, a dance party breaks out in his bedroom featuring a handful of lovely ladies, and the dream version of B.o.B tries desperately to awaken his sleeping self for the sake of joining in.
The rest of the video takes place outside, where fans have gathered to see B.o.B and Cuomo performing the song with an overwhelming amount of kinetic energy. Cuomo seems especially thrilled to be up there, dancing, smiling and holding down the song with his signature croon. But the key scene is when B.o.B dives into the crowd and lets them carry him in a classic crowd surf. The look on his face is contagious — you can tell he’s thinking “I have a hit album, a bunch of huge singles and a spot performing at the — life is good!”
