Gossip Teen

The 2012 Grammy Awards are upon us and it’s time for GossipTeen fans to weigh in on who will be taking home the coveted “Album of the Year” gramophone.  The five nominees run the gambit from rock to hip hop to pop to well… whatever it is that Lady Gaga does, and we think this year’s vote is going to be closer than ever!

So what say you oh fans of GossipTeen?  Will it be Adele and 21?  The Foo Fighters and Wasting Light?  Rihanna and Loud?  Bruno Mars and Doo-Wops & Hooligans?  Or Lady Gaga and Born this Way?

Let us know who YOU would give the Grammy to below!

We don’t know about you guys, but we are SUPER stoked for this weekend’s 2012 Grammy Awards!  Adele will be singing for the first time since her surgery, Katy Perry will be singing for the first time since her split and Bon Iver will be singing for the first time period… wait no, they’re not performing because they’re whiny little you-know-whats.

In an explitive-laced interview with Billboard Magazine, Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon says that he isn’t willing to share the stage and perform with another artists at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards Ceremony.

We wanted to play our music, but were told that we couldn’t play,” Vernon said in the expletive-filled interview. “We had to do a collaboration with someone else… We kind of said ‘f— you’ a little bit and they sort of acted like they wanted us to play, but I don’t think they wanted us to play…

While the indie rocker did concede that they were asked to play with some “awesome people”, he couldn’t bring himself to bow down to “the man” and collaborate.

F—–n’ rock ‘n’ roll should not be decided by people that have that job. Rock ‘n’ roll should be the f—–n’ people with guitars around their backs.

Yes.  Rock ‘n’ roll should be decided by the people who actually play the music, but the Grammys are decided by the people who run, guess what… THE GRAMMYS!  If you’re too cool to play the show, maybe you should be too cool to take home any little gilded gramophones…

Just an idea.

We adore your music Justin, but your high horse is like so tooootally unappealing.  Take the Grammys for what they are – a fun night to honor the world of music – and you never know, you might just enjoy yourself.

Um.  Can we be the first to say “NO FAIR!”

Beyonce looked absolutely stunning at her husband Jay Z’s 40/40 Club in New York City Monday night, where she made her first public appearance since giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy only a month ago.

Jay Z is a lucky man!

But let’s get real here – Either Mama B was wrapped up in about 3,000 sq. ft. of Saran Wrap under that skintight frock (an Alice by Temperleyor) or she has made the quickest “baby bump bounce back” in the history of womankind!  Let us in on your secret girl!

Regardless of her undergarment choice, the 30-year-old looks like a glowing new mommy and we wish her and her new family all the happiness in the world.

Every once in a while, an artist comes along whose music is so hauntingly beautiful that we wouldn’t be able to live with ourselves if we didn’t feature them here of GossipTeen.

Leticia Wolf is a Nashville-based indie artist whose latest album, The Fire and the Flood, is wracked full of soulful anthems, including our favorite, Comfortable in Hell (check it out below, you will not be sorry).

Wolf, whose influences range from Johnny Cash to James Taylor to Nirvana, is a self-taught musician and will undoubtedly be one of the next big indie acts to break into the mainstream.

Check out some of Leticia Wolf’s music below and let us know what you think!

With companies paying an average of $3.5 million for a 30-second spot during Super Bowl XLVI, we were expecting a little more creativity from the most highly anticipated commercials of the year, but like every fan in Patriot Nation last night – we walked away last night feeling dejected and disappointed.

The one bright spot in the sea of commercial blandness was NBC’s promo for The Voice, which featured some pretty rockin’ “stunts” by hosts Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green and a very scantly-clad Betty White singing Beyonce Knowels-style in her bathrobe.

Nobody doesn’t like Betty White!

53-year-old pop superstar Madonna took to the stage at Lucas Oil Staduim last night to perform the halftime show at Super Bowl XLVI along with special guests L.M.F.A.O, M.I.A., C.E.E.L.O and N.I.C.K.I M.I.N.A.J.

Oh, you mean that’s not how everyone is required to spell their names now?  Our bad.

Madonna looked “good”.  She looked as good as any 53-year-old woman who does Pilates eight times a week and plumps her face with fillers can look – and we must concede that we caught ourselves toe tapping at least once or twice during the 12-minute medley of hits that included “Vogue,” “Like a Prayer” and “Music.”

All in all, we gave this Super Bowl halftime show a B.  We miss the days of over-the-top, mashup, poptastic performances like this one…

Be sure to check out Madonna’s performance below and let us know what you think!

This was just too hilarious for us not to post.

Saturday Night Live all-star Kristin Wiig made an appearance on Weekend Update last night, dressed as breakout indie artist Lana Del Rey, to defend Rey’s highly criticized performance on SNL last month.

I thought [I sang two songs], but based on the public’s response [to my performance], I must have clubbed a baby seal while singing the Taliban national anthem… I am not here to defend my performance. The public has spoken and I have to accept that… These critics are absolutely right. The music stage on Saturday Night Live is hallowed ground, and I failed to reach the high bar set by past guests like Bubba Sparxxx, The Baha Men and Shaggy… I think people thought I was stiff, distant and weird, but there’s a perfectly good explanation for that: I am stiff, distant and weird!

Did you guys see the actual performance?  Because, it was actually that bad.

Check out Lana’s original SNL performance, along with Wiig’s impersonation below…

American Idol alum Jordin Sparks made a delightful appearance on Today with Kathy and Hoda last week to discuss her career and blossoming relationship with fellow artist, Jason Derulo.

You know, the guy that says his name at the beginning of all his songs?

The newly svelte 22-year-old looked absolutely beautiful as she chatted it up on the early morning talk show and didn’t bat an eye when Hoda brought up the purity ring she famously wore during her run on Idol.

You know what, I switch it from day to day — I don’t wear it exactly every day anymore. . . I can’t say what’s going to happen a couple months from now, or whatever. People grow, you know.

We think it’s cool that Jordin has enough conviction to rock the ring at all - and apparently NFL star Tim Tebow agrees.  Last week, the Denver Bronco’s quarterback Tweeted a picture of he and Sparks along with the caption, “Absolute pleasure meeting @JordinSparks! Awesome girl!”

Whatever your belief system, you have to admire someone willing to stand up for their convictions – especially in Hollywood.

This week, Justin Bieber took a little time out from recording to give his adoring fans a bit of a thrill – as if he doesn’t do that enough already.

The 17-year-old striped off his shirt and performed a few skateboarding tricks for a hoard of screaming Bielibers outside The Hit Factory Studios in Miami Feb. 3.

Not sure what prompted the impromptu skating session, but we’re sure not complaining!

Check out the video of Justin’s boarding prowess below…

Besties Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale got their work out on together in L.A. Thursday, trying a high impact dance class on for size.

The BFFs were spotted leaving the gym looking fit and flushed with flowers in-hand.  Flowers after a work out?  Talk about some sweet incentive!

According to sources, the girls shook their money-makers to Beyonce’s hit ‘Run the World (Girls)’ during their class with choreographer Jeri Slaughter and looked dang good doing it!

Check out the exclusive footage of Ashley and Vanessa gettin’ their groves on below!
