Gossip Teen

So, you say you wanna be a rock superstar?  And live large?  Well friends, here’s your chance!  We here at GossipTeen have a hot tip on how you can star in a brand spanking new music video featuring the Grammy Award-winning rock band, Linkin Park.

No, no – we don’t have a sweet, insider hookup for you to meet with a top Hollywood casting exec (although if we did, we’d totally get you a meeting), but we have found the next best thing…

Besides being our new favorite way to shoot and edit video on our iPhones, Viddy has taken our obsession with musicians to a whole new level (as if that were possible) by teaming up with major recording artists like Snoop Dogg, Incubus, T-Pain, TheMuppets and Mindless Behavior, to allow users to star in custom music videos featuring music from their favorite artists.  Once you’ve created your music video, you can post and share them with friends and followers until you blow up bigger than Rebecca Black!

So what are you waiting for?  Get those cameras rolling!

Check a snip-it from out our video featuring an exclusive soundtrack by Linkin Park below!  Like what you see?  Send us YOUR Viddy videos and you might just see them posted here on GossipTeen.com!

Looking back on 2009, Taylor Swift has some great memories. Rolling Stone magazine caught up with the Fearless singer/songwriter and asked her about her very successful year and what she’s looking forward to coming up. Here is an excerpt that isn’t in the magazine:

Can you tell me about any of the influences we might hear on your next record?
I’m always going to love Keith Urban, I’m always going to love John Mayer. I’m always going to love people like that, who I feel are truly authentic, and that’s not to say that my music will ever sound like theirs, but I’m inspired by people who I feel know exactly who they are, and that inspires me to continue to figure out and inform who I am as an artist.

What I was getting at was when are you going to start rapping? I thought T-Sweezy was one of the highlights of 2009.
Did you really? [Laughs] The CMT Awards asked me, “Do you want to be a part of our intro?” and one of the first things that came to my mind was that I really, really want some excuse to be able to rap and go to the mall and go to those kiosk things and go buy bling and experience rapping in front of a car with spinners for the first time. T-Pain agreed to it and flew to Nashville and we were in a sweltering hot, 95-degree parking garage for an entire day shooting — I will never, ever forget that memory.

Check out the rest of RS’s catch up questions with Taylor in the current issue of Rolling Stone (John Mayer is the cover boy) on newsstands now.
