The nominees for the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards have been released, and it’s time to cast your votes. Along with frontrunners Rihanna and Drake (who were nominated in a whopping five categories each), several other bands and artists received multiple nominations, including Coldplay, Gotye, fun., M.I.A., Skrillex and more.
Humility, thy name is not Drake. The Canadian rapper, who is also Jewish on his mother’s side, is a big believer in his own talent, and he should be, since his albums debut at No. 1 and he has millions of fans, spread across both male and female fanbases.
His nasal delivery is unique and unlike anything else in his genre. But he made a pretty massive, full-of-hubris claim to The Jewish Chronicle, one that might infuriate his hip-hop brethren and peers.
Alicia Keys debuted a taste of new music in the form of the song ‘New Day‘ a few weeks ago and it marked a change in sound for the piano pop diva. She’s taking that whole “change is good” motif a step further with her look, as the beauty has chopped off her curly cues. Buh-bye, long, lush locks! Hello angled bob!
Rita Ora has already made a big splash in the United States with ‘R.I.P.’ and ‘How We Do (Party),’ and she’s now prepping to her release another song before her debut album ‘ORA’ hits stores. During an interview with Cleveland’s 96.5 KISS FM, the 21-year-old pop princess revealed that her next U.S. single will be called ‘Radioactive.’
Rihanna revels in her dramatic love life, but part of why there’s so much drama is because she’s scared of something serious. The singer revealed that her love for Chris Brown while they were together makes it much more difficult for her to let anyone in now.
Jeez, what took her so long. It’s not like she doesn’t have 26 million Twitter followers or anything, gawking at the pictures she posts. In her quest for social media dominance, Lady Gaga has finally joined Instagram, the photo sharing service that Justin Bieber and Rihanna can’t seem to get enough of. Lookout, Biebs and RiRi! Gaga is ready to become the queen of yet another digital space. She’s coming for the crown.
After months of delays, Chris Brown has finally released his fifth studio album ‘Fortune.’ The collection is another feather in the singer’s cap of a successful comeback year that includes winning a golden gramophone at the 2012 Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album (‘F.A.M.E.’). If all goes well, he could repeat with ‘Fortune’ at the 2013 ceremony in February.
Way, way back when Rihanna was known by her given name of Robyn Fenty, the singer wasn’t a super sexy, skin-showing, tattoo-toting temptress. She was a typical gawky, geeky teen who liked to look for UFOs in her native habitat of Barbados. She was also a motivated, model student. Really? Our RiRi really was a good girl gone bad, to borrow the title of her third album? Oh yes.
