- The Wanted Drop Their Pants For We Love Pop Magazine (PHOTO)
The Wanted drop trou (!!!!!!11!) for We Love Pop magazine.
We've been crying ourselves to sleep ever since Brit-pop boy band sensation The Wanted didn't make good on their promise to go naked onstage at the 2012 MTV VMAs. (We're talking full-on fetal position wailing here.) Plus we're STILL having a minor meltdown/flashbacks over that shirtless Facebook photo of Tom Parker's. So you can imagine how stoked we were to learn that these boys will basically use any excuse to take their clothes off, most recently on the September/October cover of British mag, We Love Pop. So, we've dried our eyes, taken deep, cleansing breaths, and WE'RE. NOT. COMPLAINING. (Only staring.)
Check out more of The Wanted with their pants down after the jump.
Taking after The Backstreet Boys' Rolling Stone cover circa 2000 (what, you thought we didn't remember??), the "Glad You Came" singers recently went pantsless for the pop magazine's cover, where they're seen wearing a wide variety of underthings: Max George (aka master of the angry smize) looks rather debonair in a pair of tight, black briefs (we like), Jay McGuiness rocks some jokey/colorful skivvies, Nathan Sykes keeps it simple in a blue-and-white set, and Tom Parker leaves a lot to the imagination in a pair of gigantic boxer shorts (what, was it laundry day?). But it's OK -- we can all sleep soundly at night knowing that The Wanted will always look AMAZING in suits, no matter what their choice of undergarment.
Yes, Tom and Nathan, we know what you're pointing at.

Переслать - No Doubt, Green Day + Lupe Fiasco Release Albums; 'Hotel Transylvania' With Selena Gomez Premieres Friday
Welcome to Buzzworthy's "The Week In Pop," where we round up new album releases, talk show musical guests, and TV performances by your favorite pop stars and more (so you don't have to).
This week, No Doubt return with their first studio record in 11 years. They're on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Tuesday and Wednesday. Green Day release ¡Uno!, the first album of a trilogy. They're scheduled for "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Tuesday and "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Thursday, though this may change as last night Green Day announced that Billie Joe Armstrong is seeking treatment for substance abuse. Meanwhile, Lupe Fiasco readies a Food & Liquor sequel (watch his stirring clip from "RapFix Live"; Thursday he's on "Late Show With David Letterman"). Also, T-Pain celebrates his birthday with a mixtape, plus deadmau5 and Mumford & Sons drop new albums. In movie land, Selena Gomez becomes the animated character Mavis and Cee Lo Green voices Murray in Hotel Transylvania, which hits theaters Friday.
NEW ALBUM RELEASES
+ No Doubt, Push And Shove: After 11 years between studio albums, the SoCal group fronted by Gwen Stefani release their fifth album. The 11-song set includes a collaboration with Major Lazer and reggae artist Busy Signal for the title track. The dancehall-tipped "Settle Down" video reenacts the band's reunion, which turns into a concert rager, and their just-released single, "Looking Hot," has a driving club rhythm percolating underneath guitar melodies on the dance-rock tune.
+ Green Day, ¡Uno!: It's the first of a three-album trilogy (which is also the subject of two documentaries) and comes off the heels of releasing a career-spanning box set. Billie Joe Armstrong told MTV.com that "There really is no theme to the first album, I think it's just more like a back to the basics, down and dirty rock 'n' roll record, power-pop," adding that influences on the album include Ramones, early Beatles, and Cheap Trick. Watch the steamy video for first single, "Oh Love."
+ Lupe Fiasco, Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album, Pt. 1: The intelligent, socio-politically-minded rapper has made provocative rounds of late (from saying he won't vote to being a target of Twitter hate via Chief Keef, though Keef claims he was hacked), and Lupe's new album is no exception. He sparked an important B-word debate with "B---- Bad." "Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free)" sampled Pete Rock and CL Smooth's "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.),"which spurred a heated exchange. He also tackles 1800s-era women's inequality on "Lamborghini Angels."
Check out more new album releases and upcoming TV appearances and performances after the jump.
+ Mumford & Sons, Babel: The British folk-rock outfit have been roadtesting a few new songs while they've been touring, including "I Will Wait," "Lovers' Eyes," and "Ghosts We Knew." Gauging from those select songs (to appear on their 12-track sophomore effort), the band has continued to hone the four-part harmonies and storytelling style they crafted so well on their debut, Sigh No More. They also approached it with an added intensity, as they told Matt Pinfield on "The Hivecast."
+ T-Pain, Stoic: For his Sept. 30 birthday, T-Pain is giving fans the gift of music...in the form of this mixtape. Describing the set to Yahoo! Music, he said, "It's basically an outlet for me, and it's so many different genres of music on this mixtape, it's crazy." His first single is an ode to strippers (a subject not too foreign to him) "Don't You Quit," wherein he mixes lascivious objectification with references to Facebook, Instagram, and his awesomely coined phrase "going instaham."
+ deadmau5, > album title goes here <: As evidenced by a dedicated fanbase and his No. 6 spot on Forbes "World's Highest Paid DJs" list, Joel Zimmerman aka deadmau5 is one of the most in-demand EDM artist today. This 13-song set includes collabos with My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way ("Professional Griefers"), Cypress Hill ("Failbait") and Imogen Heap ("Telemiscommunications").

Переслать - Lady Gaga Sends A Message To Haters By Wearing A Massive Oven Mitt Dress (PHOTO)
Please enjoy Lady Gaga unabashedly looking like an oven mitt!
As you probably know by now, we think you should leave Lady Gaga alone. But no, seriously, LEAVE HER ALONE! We DGAF about Mother Monster's recent weight gain, and neither should you. Gaga recently opened up to Elvis Duran of New York's Z100 about her weight, claiming "I'm dieting right now, because I gained, like, 25 pounds."
In a bold "eff the haters" move, Gaga recently rocked a massive Comme Des Garcon dress that kinda looked like a cross between a gingerbread lady and a chicer version of the Arby's oven mitt as she departed the Park Hyatt Paris Vendome hotel this weekend.
As you might have inferred from its, ahem, oversized lines, the cut of Lady Gaga's dress intentionally hides her body (which is rare considering THIS and THIS and THIS). It's more that Gaga's choice of attire sends a clear message to everyone yakking about her body to shut it, and shut it right now. Also, if you've got a warm tin of gluten-free chocolate muffins that you need to remove from your oven, Gaga would probably be glad to help out if you ask nicely.

Переслать - Listen To A Preview Of Taylor Swift's New Single, 'Begin Again'
Taylor Swift premiered a 30-second snippet of her new song, "Begin Again," on Good Morning America.
Country-pop singer and crimson-lipstick aficionado Taylor Swift has had quite a year: Between prepping for the release of her new album Red, premiering the new single and video for "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," performing said single at the 2012 MTV VMAs, playing nice with ex Taylor Lautner, being nominated for five MTV EMA awards, performing at last weekend's iHeartRadio Festival, and presenting a (fictional) bangs challenge to Zooey Deschanel, somehow Taylor found time to premiere a 30-second snippet of her brand-new single on Good Morning America. Titled "Begin Again," the track will be the second single off of Taylor's upcoming album, Red, to be released Oct. 22.
Preview Taylor Swift's "Begin Again" after the jump.
Introducing "Begin Again" in a pre-taped segment, Taylor went into detail regarding the song's origins: "It's actually a song about when you've gotten through a really bad relationship, and you finally dust yourself off and go on that first date, and the vulnerability that comes with all of that." (Heyyy, Taylor Swift releasing song about relationships! NUTS. At this point, girl could probably give Dan Savage a run for his money.) Although "Begin Again" only plays for half a minute, we can definitely tell that the track takes things down a notch from its bouncy predecessor, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," while thoughtfully trading in "Quirky Taylor" for "Country Taylor" with its southern-tinged, twangy accompaniment.
True to form, Taylor sings, "I've been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does is break, burn, and end. But on a Wednesday in a cafe, we watched it begin again." Ahhh, from John Mayer to Conor Kennedy. JUST KIDDING. We make it a daily habit to close-read Taylor's lyrics.
Swifties can download "Begin Again" on iTunes starting at midnight tonight (Sept. 25)!

Переслать - Star Spotting: Justin Bieber Whipped Out His Bandanna Again, Guys! (PHOTO)
Justin Bieber whipped out his pal, the bandanna, yet again!
We've already been through Justin Bieber's first bandanna moment, and guess what? Round two is upon us! PRAISE EVERYTHING! Back in July, Justin proudly used his bandanna to channel Bruce Springsteen/The Karate Kid/Tupac, and he's once again whipped out his pal, the bandanna, for some more time in the spotlight!
While bandanna moment number one debuted in a very public airport, this time, The Biebs decided to rock the look in the privacy of what looks like his own home. Justin took to Twitter to share the news of the bandanna's triumphant return, but much to our dismay, there was no comment! (We were kinda hoping for a "Wax on, Wax off!" or something.) But then again, does this image truly need a caption? It's saying so much, without saying anything at all. Anyway, vivé le bandanna! Don't keep it away for so long next time, kay? Oh, and speaking of retired looks that we think you should revive, Justin, can anyone say MONEY PANTS?

Переслать - Buzz Bites (9/24/12): Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong Seeks Treatment For Substance Abuse

Переслать - PUSH Artist Of The Week: Cher Lloyd
Get bratty with "X Factor" superstar Cher Lloyd.
Meet pop music's favorite new brat. Cher Lloyd first turned heads on the U.K. version of "The X Factor," where notorious grumpster Simon Cowell called her performance of Shakespeare's Sister's "Stay" "the performance of the entire season" -- and it was the first song she didn't rap on. (Because did we mention she can rap? Because she can.)
Cher blends electro, hip-hop, and pop influences into a genre-bending mix, all delivered with a wink. Think Lily Allen meets Nicki Minaj. "You're a hater, just let it go," she sings on inspirational kiss-off "Swagger Jagger," while "Want U Back" firehoses an ex-boyfriend ("You never had much game") and his new girlfriend, before admitting she might be jealous.
The pop misfit just made Billboard's "21 Under 21" list, performed on the "Today" show, and already dropped her first perfume, "Pink Diamond" -- not bad for a 19-year-old. Cher's debut album, Sticks + Stones, drops in the U.S. on Oct. 2, yet she's already locked in die-hard fans, who call themselves "The Brats."
"I've never met such passionate people in my life," Lloyd says. "Whenever I go into an event, I know they've got my back. It's all about having the girl power." And all about dropping her "Want U Back" signature grunt, though Lloyd says getting growly isn't easy. "I did it in the studio, and I was actually angry at that point. But I don't do it when I'm on stage," she says. "I don't want someone to take a snapshot of that." Get your Rick Ross on, li'l mama. UGH! (Do I sound like a helicopter?)

Переслать - Star Spotting: One Direction's Louis Tomlinson Is Friends With A Fake Pigeon Named Kevin (PHOTO)
Louis Tomlinson holds Kevin, One Direction's fake pigeon friend, while backstage.
Here at Buzzworthy, we're pretty fond of hunky boy-band members hanging out with all different kinds of critters. Just recently One Direction's Liam Payne snuggled with a real-life dolphin, and now we're swooning over Louis Tomlinson holding...a fake pigeon named Kevin. (You read that right.) Hey, we'll "awww" at anything when it's 1D... even if they happen to be holding an anthropomorphized bird. WE'RE NOT PICKY.
After some very in-depth research, we learned that this Facebook photo isn't Kevin's first foray into fame. The 1D boys have forged quite a connection with the bird in a number of videos, and best of all, Kevin even has his own Facebook fan page. (The internet is a magical place, guys.) And just recently, the VIP (Very Important Pigeon) scored some backstage time with the guys during their performance at the iTunes Festival!
All obvious questions aside (like WHY A PLASTIC BIRD!?), we're still left wondering one thing: Does Kevin get all-access passes to everything 1D? You know, like free merch, concerts, and unseen footage from the band's "Live While We're Young" (*cough* specifically the extra deleted scenes of the guys wearing those wet shirts *cough*)? We're just wondering if we should be jealous of a fake pigeon or not. Even though we already are.

Переслать - New Song: 30 Seconds To Mars, 'Night Of The Hunter (Shannon Leto Remix)'
30 Seconds to Mars is heading to the dance floor.
You know 30 Seconds to Mars can rock -- but can they dance? For their first foray into the clurb, the group didn't outsource "Night of the Hunter" to a top DJ. Instead, 30 Seconds to Mars drummer Shannon Leto himself remixed the track. "I really wanted to reinvent it, to shed a different light on it by bringing a dance element to it," he explained. And that's precisely what happened.
Listen to 30 Seconds to Mars' "Night Of The Hunter" remix after the jump.
"Night of the Hunter" originally appeared on the band's groundbreaking, record-breaking This Is War album, where Leto gave it a pummeling groove to go with his brother Jared's soaring vocals. The new version opens as a more downbeat effort, all twitchy synth bleeps and four-on-the-floor drum hits. Instead of leaping into a chorus, the track boldly dips into a dubstep-y break chunkier than a jar of Skippy, before 30STM unleash the hook.
Leto warmed up for the band's electro adventure by hosting late-night parties all over Europe over the last two years, a practice that seems to have paid off. No word yet if the ramped-up track signals a new direction for the group, but the band is back in the studio -- so maybe this is a clue that they're heading in a more wub-friendly direction.
+ Listen to 30 Seconds to Mars' "Night of the Hunter (Shannon Leto Remix)."
Переслать - New Song: Leona Lewis, 'Glassheart'
Leona Lewis explores dubstep on her latest single, "Glassheart."
We never thought we'd use the words "dubstep" and "Leona Lewis" in the same sentence, but praise everything, because it's all happening, courtesy of Leona's latest release, "Glassheart." The "Bleeding Love" songstress may have wowed us with "Trouble," but now she's upping the musical ante BIG TIME.
Listen to Leona Lewis' "Glassheart" after the jump.
Set to a grimy, hazy beat (which, by the way, vaguely reminds us of Alex Clare's "Too Close"), Leona's crisp vocals rise above the noise as she croons about the fragility of the heart (er, as opposed to a total eclipse of the heart?): "So baby if you love me/ Let me know/ 'Cause everything hurts just like before/ You're about to tear this heart apart/ I love you like a glass heart." (Aaand cue the obvious Blondie/"Heart Of Glass" reference here.)
And now all that's left to say is, props to you, Leona! We are ALL about this grimy dubstep transition! Maybe next time around you could even include 10 seconds or so of rapping for good measure? 'Cause why not?
+ Listen to Leona Lewis' "Glassheart."
