Carl Rae Jepsen probably made enough cash and buzz off of ‘Call Me Maybe’ to sustain her for a lifetime, but not necessarily to sustain her stans for that long. The good news for fans of the preternaturally youthful 26-year-old? Snippets of her album ‘Kiss’ hit the Web, and they were pretty good. The bad news? They got yanked pretty swiftly by Universal Music Group.

One Direction are the breakout stars of 2012, and they’re such a big deal that each member of 1D got his own MTV Video Music Awards promo video. And they’re all alike — and all hilarious.

No Doubt are delivering hard to their loyal fans, old and new. The California-based band may be one of the biggest on the planet in the last 20 years, but they remember their SoCal roots — and they’re getting back to them with a mini-residency in promotion of ‘Push and Shove,’ which hits shelves Sept. 25.

Justin Bieber drives a Fisker Karma — and he may have inadvertently delivered some actual karma to some overly aggressive paparazzi. When two paps tried chasing Biebs down Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles, they wound up crashing into each other!

In an interesting turn of events, Alanis Morissette has come out saying that reality shows like ‘American Idol‘ and ‘X Factor‘ don’t do enough to nurture singer-songwriters. We don’t think it’s a coincidence that the news comes on the heels of Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban finalizing their own ‘Idol’ judging talks — a role Morissette previously confirmed she was up for herself. Do you think it’s an

Don’t think Jennifer Lopez leaving ‘American Idol‘ means she’s leaving her multi-hyphenate stardom behind. The ‘Goin’ In’ singer is gearing up to release a 3D concert film.

Since ‘Call Me Maybe’ is probably stuck in your head anyway, aren’t you sort of wondering who inspired Carly Rae Jepsen to write the catchiest song ever? It looks like we may have found our — er, her — man!

Football fans and music fans will both delight in this news: No Doubt will join Mariah Carey in a pre-game performance to kick off the NFL season!

Taylor Swift just made history with ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.’ We bet she can’t believe it!

Taylor Swift treated her fans to a live webcast tonight (Aug. 13) in which she shared a ton of huge news, namely about her next album and single.

She’s got one hand in her pocket and another in Fremantle Media’s pocket, apparently. Alanis Morissette has announced that she may be in the running to be a new ‘American Idol‘ judge.

Kelly Clarkson does killer covers — it’s part of why she nabbed the first ever ‘American Idol‘ title — and she’s at it again, this time with her rendition of No Doubt‘s hit ‘Don’t Speak.’

The rumors are true! Nick Jonas confirmed that he’s in negotiations to be the next ‘American Idol‘ judge.

As if their music wasn’t mind-numbingly catchy, both Katy Perry and Rihanna have smokin’ hot looks to back them up when and if their talent fails. The spectral-haired starlets (who currently both sport jet black locks) both made GuySpeed’s list of the Most Mind-Numbingly Hot Women of 2012.

Alicia Keys has always been independent and done her own thing, but now she’s asking fans to help with her campaign for ‘A New Day.’ (We thought it was just ‘New Day,’ but she says ‘A New Day’ — and she’s the one who wrote it!) The singer is launching an interactive Instagram campaign for a special video for the new track.

Watch your back, Carly Rae Jepsen! Lady Gaga ain’t too happy with you.

While her fellow judge Simon Cowell describes Demi Lovato as a “catty brat,” the ‘X Factor‘ panelist admits that some of the title is earned — but not necessarily in a bad way.

Teens get a bad rap as being a pretty angsty, hormonal bunch — but they’re also smart, fun and kind of awesome, so it only makes sense that the 2012 Teen Choice Awards followed suit. With nominations for everyone from Justin Bieber to Nicki Minaj to Zooey Deschanel, some frontrunners are predictable: Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and hostess with the mostess Demi Lovato are favorites for a

The 2012 Teen Choice Awards brought out a pretty fashionable bunch. Hostess with the mostess Demi Lovato rocked a futuristic, super long blonde ponytail — gone are her blue and green (once pink) tips! It was a huge night for Lovato, as she wasn’t just co-hosting with ‘Glee‘ star Kevin McHale, she was also up for a few awards of her own. You go, Demz!

Money talks, and while Mariah Carey hasn’t commented on the ‘American Idol‘ rumors, her doting hubby sure has. Nick Cannon flat out said that Mimi doesn’t come for cheap.
