Bieber's interaction with an overeager fan shows that it's important to respect celebrities' boundaries

Last weekend, we were graced with a new album (er, playlist) from Drake. But just as importantly — if not more so — we were graced once more with the presence of Dennis Graham, Drizzy’s father and the cover star of More Life. Nor was this our first rendezvous with Dennis.

Earlier this week, beloved troll king Father John Misty released a teaser of his upcoming project, Jazz Imposters — which turned out to be less an actual project than a way for him and Trevor Spencer to channel La La Land. And in FJM’s defense, the joke was pretty obvious, despite his assurance that Jazz... Read more »

Twenty years of dancing to ‘Time After Time’

Remembering (and regretting) the embarrassing backlash of 2012

Last week, Ed Sheeran shut down rumors that he’s planning to quit music forever. “Das bollock,” he tweeted in response to a piece that said the singer had achieved “everything there is to achieve in music” and therefore hoped to pursue a “normal” life. And so it is written. But I could’ve told you that... Read more »

This week — the week before Harry Styles releases his full-length solo debut — Niall Horan stepped the fuck up and arrived.

Should Justin Bieber be more like Harry Styles? Where’s the fun in that?

As the first season comes to a close, it’s time to ask some important questions

Over the weekend, a shocking preponderance of Harry Styles–related conversation focused on two very important subjects: (1) Whether “Two Ghosts” was written about Taylor Swift, and (2) whether “Ever Since New York” was written about Taylor Swift. Harry, understandably, declined to confirm or deny either burning question. “I mean, I think it’s pretty, like, self-explanatory,”... Read more »

She doesn’t even need to sing anymore. All she needs to do is LIVE.

Does she know when that hotline bling?

Earlier this month, Katy Perry was announced as the newest American Idol judge — which, for some, was surprising news. The series, tentatively scheduled to relaunch with its 16th season in March 2018, is in the midst of a serious overhaul, with even mainstay Simon Cowell having jumped ship. So why would a major A-list... Read more »

This week, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Mariah Carey’s MTV Unplugged. It’s one of the biggest testaments to her talent and presence — and it’s also one of her most underrated works. Of course, in the quarter-century since the record’s release, we’ve come to know a very specific version of Mariah. We hear about... Read more »

Everything is terrible, except for this: Cher has announced plans to grace Broadway with a musical about her life.

How the Canadian pop star made the most Instagrammable season her own

Spoiler alert: Yes, they did

In the summer of 1997, we met Robyn for the first time. After releasing a full-length debut in Sweden in 1995, the then-18-year-old singer dropped Robyn Is Here in North America two years later and ushered in the era of “Show Me Love” and “Do You Know (What It Takes).” And while the album didn’t...
