- What You Missed At Coachella: Azealia Banks, Bodypaint, 'The Hunger Games' + More WTFery
Snoop Dogg and Tupac's hologram perform at Coachella.
Remote Control's Rebecca Brown went to Coachella and brought back a detailed account of what we missed. Also: funny photos.
The searing 110-degree temperatures that typically blanket Coachella's Empire Polo Field were a distant memory this past weekend, as reports leading up to the first Friday of Coachella couldn't have been any more discouraging: crap weather. Since I was born lucky, I got some kind of nasty stomach bug, barfed, missed far too many shows (no, they don't refund you for that sort of thing), and I arrived late. Freaky 50s temperatures and bone-chilling winds transformed that first night, when I caught Arctic Monkeys, M83 and The Rapture, which turned into an I'll-do-anything-to-keep-warm, love-thy-neighbor type of event. (Shame Coachella security doesn't allow in blankets.) The whole bizarre situation -- freezing, underdressed young bodies, body paint (more on that in a sec), and holograms -- all became a singular, odd utopia complete with its own unique set of only-at-Coachella characteristics. Despite stomach ailments the likes of which usually involve some level of E. coli, I sacrificed myself to gather those moments of Coachella WTFery in case you weren't there.
Read more about what you missed at Coachella after the jump.
No hula hoops allowed!
On Saturday, the energy level of the Urban Outfitters-y crowd, which included, face-painted partygoers in sweeping skirts and crochet bikini tops, crowded the Gobi Stage early to catch rapper Azealia Banks, who was very much worth the hype. Later in the night, Bon Iver reeled in the hand-holding couples in attendance, which included Bryan Greenberg and his MTV alum girlfriend, Jamie Chung, who made out for what felt like forever. And in VIP, self-important wristband-wearing chicks hung around the foul Porta-Potties hoping to catch the eyes of 30 Seconds To Mars frontman Jared Leto every time he darted into the loo. (Couldn't blame them, really.)
By Sunday, all maxi skirts and opaque tights went back into the suitcase, and it was finally time for bare-bodied festival lovers to give Coachella every last bit of energy and skin they'd been keeping on reserve. Also, somehow, face painting became a big thing. But not as big as the headliners: Eminem, Warren G, Kurupt, 50 Cent, Wiz Khalifa and the resurrected version of the ineffable Tupac (in hologram form, obvs) closed out the night.
But since no one really goes to Coachella for the bands, here are four only-at-Coachella situations we found ourselves in:
+ Overheard: "Thom Yorke looks hot in a ponytail."
+ We actually saw someone reading "The Hunger Games" during Real Estate's set. Uh...
+ Despite the spillage of people in every direction at Gotye, no one has any clue how to say his name properly.
+ Hula hoops were added to the obnoxiously long list of Not Allowed items. Really? Hula hoops?The end is nigh.
Переслать - An Open Letter To Nicki Minaj From The Girl Who Runs The MTV Twitter
Dear Nicki Minaj,
Hi! I'm Sarah! And along with being able to rap all of "Superbass" from memory and expertly apply Pink Friday lipstick in a moving motor vehicle, I run the @MTV Twitter. Slight warning, you'll have to excuse me a little here—I haven't written anything over 140 characters in almost two years. Anyway, we've tweeted back and forth a few times (I died!), and I'm one of your former Twitter followers who misses you…a lot.
What happened, girl? Can't tell you how sad it made me to jump online a couple days ago (who am I kidding -- I'm always online) and find out that the Head BARB In Charge had quit Twitter! Listen, I know, I get it, I talk to a lot of haters too every day. People you think will never turn on you, and it hurts. But let's sit down with a nice cold drink (anything but pickle juice, right?) and think about it here — over 13,000 tweets, 11 million followers (more than Oprah!) and that little blue verified check mark that makes you Twitter royalty. And it's not just straight numbers. Think of your faithful Barbz who've worked their pink Spandexed butts off to get you to the top of the trending topics more times than ACTUAL royalty (I'm looking at you, Kate Middleton.)
One of the cool things about being on Twitter is that you get to talk to your fans every day, and you're one of the few celebrities who actually does it (AHEM @RyanGosling). I know things were left a little heated, but I get to talk to your faithful army of superfans on Twitter too every day, and they're really missing their queen. I know, for one, that I'm kind of dying not knowing what you're wearing today. Or if you'll be showing up in my neck of Times Square for a surprise show. Take a page out of the Twistories of those who've left Twitter before -- John Mayer, @MileyCyrus, @DemiLovato, @APlusK, @AlecBaldwin -- and hit that 'Sign In' button once again. I hear they're even holding @NickiMinaj for you, just where you left it.
Don't be a Twitter quitter. Haters gonna hate. Do it for the children. Starships were meant to fly. You get it, come back. Also, I'd tweet this to you in hopes that you'd see it... but you're not on Twitter anymore. I hate that.
XOXO,

Переслать - New Song: Cady Groves, 'IDGAF'
Cady Groves has already taught us so much about herself, y'all: Not only is she capable of murder, as her debut single, last year's sensational "This Little Girl" detailed, but she's also the s***. (Seriously -- she has a song called "We're The S***" that's totally our gloomy low self-esteem pick-me-up anthem du jour.) One more factoid to add to the pint-sized Okie chanteuse's bio? She doesn't give a f***. Like, seriously. Not a single one.
Listen to Cady Groves "IDGAF" after the jump.
That's the message of her brilliant new song, "IDGAF," a deliciously scabrous slice of spunky pop-rock punctuated by fizzy blips and bloops and a summery sing-along chorus that demands to be blared from car stereos everywhere in all its NSFW glory -- like a pumped-up, profane evocation of Pink's "Raise Your Glass." Written with her guitarist, Ryan Williams, and produced by Fredrik Erikkson, "IDGAF" sends the IDGAF message out loud and clear to detractors, hangers-on, and all varieties of lessers. But there's a beating, vulnerable heart beneath all that ballsy swagger: "Thought I had it figured out back in high school/ It freaks me out that I'm not a superhero/ But I'm doing fine alone," she cries over twangy guitars and kicking snares.
Ferocious and fearsome, "IDGAF" just kind of cements our obsession with this chick. Haters, step off. Cady Groves is fresh out of f---s to give.

Переслать - Meiko, The Wanted, Marina And The Diamonds + More: 5 Must-Hear Pop Songs of the Week
It's Tuesday! Time for another round of "5 Must-Hear Pop Songs of the Week"!
And this time, it's another week of pure Brit-pop mania! Well, almost -- an American singer-songwriter snuck into the bunch too. And an Aussie-born singer. Otherwise, we've got the hottest U.K. boy band around, an "X Factor" winner, and one of my favorite primadonna girls ever.
1.) Meiko, "Leave The Lights On"
30-year-old singer-songwriter Meiko first burst into the music scene back in 2007 with the release of her eponymous debut. And since its release, each album track has since found a way onto just about every TV show, ever -- from "90210" to "Grey's Anatomy" to "One Tree Hill" to "Pretty Little Liars".
Having since holed up in the studio for about two years crafting a follow-up to her debut with the likes of Belgian producer Styrofoam and Jimmy Messer (of Kelly Clarkson's "Never Again" fame, among other songs), the singer is about to unveil her long-awaited sophomore record in May, The Bright Side. To kick off the campaign, Meiko unleashed the album's incredible lead single last week: "Leave The Lights On," an absolutely stunning mixture of melancholy guitar pop with Ellie Goulding-lite flights of folk-tronica fancy. "I know that it's a secret, and that I gotta keep it, but I want the lights on," she croons across the chorus. As it progresses, the song builds with an intensifying electro pulse, resulting in a major 'brooding on the dance floor' anthem and one of the best songs of 2012 thus far!
+ LISTEN TO MEIKO, "LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON"

2.) The Wanted, "Chasing The Sun"
We told you the British boy band invasion was coming... and it's here! After their lead single "Glad You Came" came surging in at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this year, U.K. heartthrobs The Wanted are back with a full U.S. EP, including U.K. smashes like "All Time Low" and "Lightning."
Along with past hits, the mini-collection also includes "Chasing The Sun," a brand new track cut with British singer/rapper/producer extraordinaire, Example. The surging new number sees the boys frolicking in Ibiza territory once more: "Until forever comes, you'll find us chasing the sun!" they declare. Throw a chant in the chorus that'd have Brit Brit positively beaming ( "Oo-oo-Oo-Oo-OOH-oh!"), and you've got one of The Wanted's most massive dance floor-ready anthems yet. Even more exciting? The upcoming video. I mean... Justin Bieber got a preview of the clip and called it "sick" on Twitter. King Bieber's seal of approval? Watch out, boys- - you know what he did for Carly Rae Jepsen. See you on top of the charts once again!
+ LISTEN TO THE WANTED, "CHASING THE SUN"
3.) Marina And The Diamonds, "Lies (Acoustic)"
The endlessly brilliant Miss Marina And The Diamonds is but mere days away from unleashing her sophomore record, Electra Heart. After releasing her ridiculously amazing lead single "Primadonna" in the U.K. yesterday, the chanteuse has just teased out an acoustic version of upcoming album track, "Lies."
Although the album version promises to be a much more power-pop production (it was crafted by Diplo, Cirkut AND Dr. Luke... HUGE!), the acoustic take on the track strips back the song to nothing but Marina's quivering croons and the kind of lyrics that'll have you crying in the corner of your shower. "I just wanted to be perfect," Marina sadly croons. Fair warning: It is thoroughly amazing, and you will absolutely cry.
+ LISTEN TO MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS, "LIES (ACOUSTIC)"
4.) Darren Hayes, "Stupid Mistake"
After unleashing several storming singles -- "Talk Talk Talk," "Black Out The Sun" and "Bloodstained Heart" -- from his fourth studio album Secret Codes and Battleships, former Savage Garden frontman Darren Hayes is back for yet another offering from his superb 2011 effort. Hayes grows pensive -- even angry -- on the fourth single from his latest record as he reflects on poor choices and bares his soul across a piano-led power=pop ballad: "I made a stupid mistake and my world crashed down all around me," Hayes croons on top of the dramatic strings of the chorus.
The clip for the track, which was directed by Hayes' partner Richard Cullen, finds the singer caking on make-up in front of a vanity (Annie Lennox "Why" style!) until finally revealing himself in full make-up as... The Joker! Just one question: Why so serious, Darren?
+ LISTEN TO DARREN HAYES, "STUPID MISTAKE"
5.) Alexandra Burke, "Let It Go"
Earlier this year, 2008 "X Factor U.K." winner Alexandra Burke released the only slightly mental "Elephant," a bananas o'clock club thumper produced by Erick Morillo that felt like the musical equivalent of this. Nonetheless, it worked: Burke's banga charted at No. 3 in the U.K.
For her next single from the upcoming LP Heartbreak On Hold, Burke has once again opted to report to the dance floor: "Let It Go." The song, which wouldn't sound at all out of place sandwiched between Robin S.' "Show Me Love" and Snap's "Rhythm Is A Dancer," is a little bit of an "It Gets Better" anthem on top of familiar '90s club beats: "Time can be the perfect remedy/ Let love lead the way!" Burke sagely offers. The best part of all is obviously the chorus, which includes an unbelievably catchy stuttery bit at the very end: "Let it go-o-o-o-o-o!" It's all very '90s dance-inspired, which is no accident: The whole album's going to sound that way. Yes, please!

Переслать - PHOTOS: The Most Amazing Girl Group Photos!
We know that the pop landscape lately has been all boy band everything (we're talking to you, The Wanted and One Direction), but we think we're due for another girl group explosion some time soon, too! No one can heal a scorned heart like a girl group (Destiny's Child's "Say My Name," En Vogue's "Don't Let Go") or make us want to kiss and make up like a girl group (Spice Girls' "2 Become 1," Wilson Phillips' "Hold On"). Also, color-coordinated outfits! Girl groups of past and present do them best.
Pay homage with us to some of our favorite girl groups! All the classics are there -- TLC in all their condoms-as-glasses glory, Destiny's Child and their mighty midriffs, the Spice Girls sipping tea and tons more. Who's the next girl group gonna be, y'all? We need a new one, STAT.
Check out more amazing and hilarious girl group photos after the jump, and see them all in our gallery of AMAZING GIRL GROUP PHOTOS!
There were a few requirements for being in Destiny's Child: precise eyeshadow application, killer abs and at least three pounds of sequins on all members at all times.
This is the best photo of the Spice Girls ever. That is all.

Переслать - New Video: Rita Ora, 'How We Do (Party)'
Raise your hand if you wish you were also in Rita Ora's 'How We Do (Party)' video.
What would you do if Jay-Z was your mentor? We'd probably be swaggin' like crazy, sitting atop a throne made of money, sippin' on Martinelli's sparkling apple cider from a bejeweled chalice ('cause we roll like that). But alas, that's why Rita Ora gets to be Jay's protege and not us -- because she uses her power responsibly. That's exactly what the Albanian-British chanteuse, signed to Jay's Roc Nation label, has done with her debut U.S. single, the irresponsibly infectious celebratory anthem "How We Do (Party)," and its brand-spanking-new accompanying video, which sees the boisterous popstrel doing what she does best: Partying. (Also, bulls***. But mostly partying.)
Watch Rita Ora's "How We Do (Party)" video after the jump.
And this clip's got everything! Viking hats! Fur trimmed American flag-embroidered leather jackets! Rasta swag! Ferocious purple suede heels! Hipsters wearing Lego bow ties! Dip-dyed lamé bathing suits! Drag queens! Snakes! Paint-throwing! And most importantly, Rita in her signature red lipstick and platinum blond curls! It's pretty much like a Tuesday afternoon at our place. (Except pop stars like Rita never respond to our Twitter invites, but whatevs.) There may not be much in the way of narrative at work here, but who needs one when you have this kind of brightly colored smorgasbord of antics and foolery?
With Rita fresh off her recent No. 1 single in the U.K. (no big) and this video sure to be clocking a few million views -- not to mention the support of Jay-Z -- superstardom seems imminent, right? If she can keep the partying in healthy moderation, that is. Unless it's at our place. In that case, she can party all she wants to.

Переслать - We Also Liked Tupac When He Was Not A Hologram (PHOTOS)
I have to be honest -- I'm a little afraid that this whole Tupac-as-a-hologram thing that went down at Coachella is like, going to tarnish Tupac's legacy forever. Instead of remembering Pac as this prolific, game-changing rapper, people are gonna be like, "Yo, remember when he was a hologram?" I know I should maybe relax about it because it was just a live performance stunt, but now they're talking about taking this thing on the road. Call me crazy, but I forever wanted to picture Tupac rollin' around hip-hop heaven, not as some scrambly science experiment.
We just wanted to remind you guys that Tupac was once a real human... with emotions and sick abs and a nose ring. So here are some of our fave photos of the real Tupac. Hey, maybe you can even print them out and tape them to your real wall (and not your Facebook wall). My Strange Addiction: I Miss The '90s.
See more photos of the real Tupac after the jump.
As a human, Tupac had even more stage presence than his hologram. He also had a beeper. 080808. (That's "hugs and kisses" in pager code.)
We'll just leave this photo of Pac, MC Hammer, and a young Snoop Dogg (back when there was a "Doggy" in his name) here for your viewing pleasure. Gold chain mafia forever.

Переслать - New Song: B.o.B., 'So Hard To Breathe'
B.o.B.'s forthcoming album, Strange Clouds, is crazy-stacked with cameos: Morgan Freeman (!!!), Lil Wayne and a killer Taylor Swift country/hip-hop record. But today we're bringing you one of B.o.B.'s solo tracks, "So Hard To Breathe." Unlike Bobby Ray's lighthearted "So Good," "So Hard To Breathe" speaks of the uglier side of fame and the loneliness that accompanies it.
Listen to B.o.B.'s "So Hard To Breathe" after the jump.
Always the genre-bender, set to a guitar driven hip-hop track, "So Hard To Breathe" sounds like an alt-rock-meets-hip-hop record. Led by a haunting guitar melody, in his signature flow B.o.B. explains, "Since day one I said f*** the fame and everything it dealt/ But the fame is really here just to facilitate the wealth/ But the wealth attracts you haters like mosquitoes to a well/ And the water's getting deeper so I'm well set out to sail.../ As I'm flipping over furniture, knocking s*** off the shelf/ I told myself I'll never get too deep not to take a breath/ But I'm sinking."
Normally we don't love it when celebrities complain about their fame or their wealth, but when B.o.B. does, it feels totally genuine. Thankfully, he's not bemoaning running out of Cristal, but rather the emotional hurdles one struggles to overcome while adjusting to celebrity. Personally, I think I'd do just fine pre-ordering the entire Spring 2012 Chanel collection and flying private. So if you ever feel the need to relieve yourself of some of that wealth, dawg, feel free to send some my way. I can tooootally handle it.
+ Listen to B.o.B.'s "So Hard To Breathe."
Переслать - Rihanna Posts Personal Vacation Photos, Is Literally Without Flaw (PHOTOS)
For your viewing pleasure: Rihanna in a bikini on vacation.After looking through 169 Facebook photos of Rihanna's most recent Hawaiian vacation, I can now confirm what most of the world has always suspected: there are literally no bad photos of Rihanna that exist in this universe.
The "Where Have You Been" singer recently shared a personal Facebook album with her fans, and although I'm totally thankful
to get a glimpse into the life I'll never havefor the overshare, I'm also a little bit devastated: I now know that no matter how many juice cleanses I do, I will never look as bangin' as Rihanna in a bikini! #putdownthatsandwich Flaunting a bevvy of skimpy two-pieces, Ri's latest photo album shows her wearing bikinis while swimming with sharks, riding on boats, hangin' with horses and performing an impromptu striptease on the beach. She also takes some time out to wear even more bikinis while paddling on a surfboard, checking out a beautiful waterfall, taking her bikini top off at said waterfall and getting photographed basically topless.In sum, Rihanna will always look hotter than everyone ever, and will probably take way doper vacations than yours. Happy Tuesday.

Переслать - Video Premiere: Imagine Dragons, 'It's Time'
Check out Imagine Dragons' latest video, 'It's Time.'
If you were stuck in the middle of the desert after some kind of post-apocalyptic shipwreck with your bandmates, what's the one thing you have left to do? Put yourself in infinitely more danger, of course! Imagine Dragons take their cheery, indie-pop tune "It's Time" in a decidedly darker direction in their new video for the track, and I'm not sure I'd want these guys on my team at the end of the world.
Watch Imagine Dragons' "It's Time" video after the jump.
"It's Time" opens with the Las Vegas foursome headed out across an eerie desert landscape. Despite the impending thunderstorm, the band is on a quest to find resources. As lead singer Dan Reynolds belts the chorus -- "It's time to begin, isn't it/ I get a little bit bigger that that, I'll admit/ I'm just the same as I was/ Now don't you understand that I'm never changing who I am" -- and the band make their way to the scene of the accident, you think the dudes' lives are saved when they discover an iPad! JK, it's actually some kind of magic radiating bean, a la "Jack and the Beanstalk." The guys proceed to bury the glowing orb, only to find out that it's not exactly a fruitful plant that shoots out of the ground. Things don't end well for Imagine Dragons, and I'm dying to know what Freud would have to say about this scenario.
"It's Time" is the band's first single off of their latest EP, Continued Silence. Check out more videos and interviews with Imagine Dragons, our PUSH Artist of the Week.
