Taylor Swift cries at AMAs

Taylor Swift was spotted with tears in her eyes during best friend Selena Gomez’s performance of “The Heart Wants What It Wants”

Swift was recognized last night as being the first recipient of the Dick Clark Award for Excellence! She was given the award by Diana Ross. Swift was a class act as she took the stage to receive the award. She addressed her fans and the music industry, ” And lastly, you, you guys! To the fans who went out and bought over a million copies of my last three albums, what you did by going out and investing in music and albums, you are saying that you believe in the same thing that I believe in- that music is valuable, and that music should be consumed in albums, and that albums should be consumed as art and appreciated, and I love you so much.”

Nick Jonas no longer a virgin

Nick Jonas has officially confirmed that he is NO LONGER A VIRGIN. Nick, who is most famous for being one of the Jonas Brothers, told Wendy Williams he has removed his purity ring and says he is an adult now, ” I think that it was an important part of my childhood, and it was that,” Nick said. “I think as I grew up and sort of figured out what was important to me and my own belief system, which we all grow up, we all live life and find out what’s important to us—that’s what happened.

Nick has been dating former Miss Universe, Olivia Culpo, for over a year now and says he is extremely happy. His new single “Jealous” is actually written about Culpo and how he gets jealous when other guys check his girl out, “”We went out one night and this guy was looking at her for a little too long,” he recalled to. “It was uncomfortable. I’m not a jealous person and this was an experience that I was one or two drinks in. I really got into it and then I decided to let me just process this a different way and go into the studio and write this song.”

Nick Jonas is definitely turning into more of a sexual symbol and solo artist rather than a “Jo Bro”! What do you guys think about his new transformation?

Bono severely injured after bicycle accident

Bono, lead singer of U2, broke his arm in six places, fractured eye socket, hand, and shoulder blade from a severe bicycle accident on Sunday. According to BBC News, Bono was trying to avoid another rider when the accident happened. He has since undergone a 5- hour surgery to repair his heavily damaged arm with three metal plates and 18 screws.

U2 was scheduled to do a one- week appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, but they have had to post pone this until Bono is recovered.

Luckily, Bono is expected to have a full recovery, “We’re sure he’ll make a full recovery soon, so we’ll be back!” said his bandmates The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr.

Billy Joel sticks up for Taylor Swift

Last month, Taylor Swift was surprisingly named “New York’s Tourism Ambassador” after living in New York a little less than one year! Obviously, Swift got an ear full from New Yorkers and harsh critics who do not approve of her getting this honor. However, Billy Joel is helping Taylor “shake it off” by telling USA Today that he welcomes the singer, “You snoots. Let her in. That’s what New York is all about. I say, ‘Welcome.”

Swift just released her new album 1989 with Welcome To New York as the opening track. Billy Joel praises her ability to write songs and inspire people with her music, “She catches a lot of junk, maybe because she’s so popular with young girls,” he continued. “But I like what she’s projecting. I respect what she’s doing.”

Who would have thought Billy Joel would be the one to openly and publicly stand up for Taylor Swift?! We love it!

You Tube introduces extra features for a price

Wednesday, November 12, 2014, the most popular music streaming website YouTube unveiled its new upgrade “Music Key” that will allow customers to pay $8 a month for extra features such as higher audio quality and removing advertisements.

Enjoying the dance. ” Teresa Shaw, the young girl, was pulled up to the front row by an escort after seeing the sign. Garth Brooks serenaded the girl, gave her his guitar, and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Brooks stole the show when he then took the girl’s sign and held it up saying “you have all my strength, you have everybody’s strength in here, and you go kick cancer’s ass!”

Teresa Shaw has been battling breast cancer but was determined to make it to Garth’s show!

Garth told KARE11 that he will be keeping the sign with him on tour as inspiration, “It’s a reminder to all of us. We can sit here and we can think we’re working and we can think, oh my God two shows on Friday, two shows on Saturday! Well, this woman goes through chemo in the morning and comes to the show at night. Nothing is hard after that. It puts it all in perspective,” he said.

Keep the good “Garth” feelings going this Tuesday evening with a little karaoke to his song “Ain’t Goin’ Down” (Til the Sun Comes Up)

Katy Perry’s hilarious Halloween costume

Halloween is usually a time for celebrities to show off their creativity and, usually for women, sexuality. Katy Perry’s Halloween costume, a flaming hot Cheeto, pokes fun at the pun of being creative and also “hot”. She definitely got everybody’s attention this year and stole the show for celebrity Halloween costumes! We think it is definitely the most creative and comical costume we’ve seen…

Katy Perry dressed as a “flaming hot” Cheeto for Halloween 2014

Katy Perry, known for her outrageously unique costumes on and off the stage, gave everybody just what they wanted this Halloween- a giggle! Just because Halloween is over does not mean listening to some Halloween classics is unacceptable….. and If this costume doesn’t make you want to sing along to Rick James’s “Super Freak”, we don’t know what will!
