The Wanted and Avril Lavigne each performed a song on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars Tuesday night (May 15). The British boy band — appearing as a foursome while Nathan Sykes recovers from throat surgery — threw a curveball by by singing “Fill a Heart,” instead of new song “Walks Like Rihanna.” The reason the guys did the ballad, as they explain after the performance, is because it was … Read More

A new poll of US citizens found that a majority of us just plain do not like Justin Bieber (54% unfavorability rating, 20% likablity). Same goes for Chris Brown (shocker!), who scored a whopping 57% on the unfavorable scale.

Justin Bieber had a Believe tour stop in Johannesburg, South Africa on Sunday (May 12), which, as you surely know, was Mother’s Day. So the star brought out his mom, Pattie Mallette, and serenaded her with a sweet rendition of “One Less Lonely Girl.” We don’t blame Biebs for wanting his mom close by on tour after that hairy situation in Dubai. Watch the mother-son moment below (Mama … Read More

On the eve of the release of Demi Lovato‘s new album Demi, the starlet appeared on Ellen to perform “Heart Attack.” Rocking a white dress and black leather jacket, Lovato blasted out a particularly feisty performance of her album’s lead single (watch Ellen gush about her voice after the performance below).
