Jennifer Lopez's steamy video with beau

Jennifer Lopez's steamy video with beau


Jennifer Lopez's steamy video with beau, J.Lo Premieres Sexy Video With Casper Smart on ‘Idol”,The singer blindfolds and dirty dances with Casper Smart in “Dance Again." A little less than a year ago, Jennifer Lopez and her then-husband Marc Anthony were rubbing up all over each other during their hot, PDA-filled "American Idol" finale performance.

But this Thursday on "Idol," Jennifer was rubbing up on 24-year-old backup dancer Casper Smart, her new love interest--and possibly rubbing her new relationship in Marc's face--as she introduced her latest racy music video, "Dance Again." The video preview featured many steamy J.Lo/Casper scenes that made her old finale performance with Marc look like something by Clay Aiken, and it might not have been totally appropriate viewing for kids watching at home (or for the few underage "Idol" contestants who were sitting on the stage, come to think of it).

"Was there any chemistry on the set of the video with any of the dancers?" Ryan Seacrest joked smarmily, as he introduced the video on Thursday's "Idol" results show. J.Lo just giggled and blushed like a schoolgirl half Casper's age. "It's a good video," she smiled. "I can't wait for you all to see it! Enjoy it--it has a great message, and I hope everybody likes it."

I'm not really sure what "message" J.Lo was referring to, unless it was a direct message to her ex along the lines of, "Yo, Marc: I'm soooo over you!" At one point in the video, the screen read: "Always remember, you will live, you will love, you will dance again." And apparently, if you're J.Lo, you'll do these things while blindfolded, on national television, with a guy 17 years your junior!

Ironically, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony announced this week that they'll reunite onstage to perform with the cast of their reality show "¡Q'Viva!" in Las Vegas on May 26--but Jennifer's video with Casper totally eclipsed that news. Sorry, Marc.

Country stars speak out against Kutcher

Country stars speak out against Kutcher


Country stars speak out against Kutcher, Country Community Not Amused By Ashton Kutcher’s Skit At ACM Awards, Miranda Lambert and Justin Moore question the actor's behavior at the ACM awards. When Ashton Kutcher showed up at the Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday night, he was ostensibly there just to hand out the female vocalist of the year award. However, he managed to take everyone's minds off the nominees for a few minutes, by showing up dressed in over-the-top cowboy gear and taking a stab at singing George Strait's "I Cross My Heart."

All in good fun. Right? Well, some country stars didn't take this little performance in a lighthearted manner. The artist to whom Kutcher presented the female vocalist award, Miranda Lambert, tweeted on Monday: "Was Ashton Kutcher making fun of country or is it just me?"

Turns out, it wasn't just her. Singer Justin Moore, who records for the same label group as Taylor Swift, went so far as to call Kutcher a "douche" on his Twitter account. "I don't care for people making a mockery of the way country artists dress," he clarified.

Kutcher answered Lambert's accusation on his own Twitter account Tuesday, stating "I Am One Of The biggest country Music fans you've ever met. Wasn't making fun at all." He then congratulated Lambert again on her success at the ACMs (she also won album of the year).

In another twist, viewers of the show took to Twitter in droves to comment on Kutcher's song choice, a romantic ballad that discusses lifelong fidelity and devotion--an ironic choice given Kutcher's very public separation from wife Demi Moore. "Wonder if he sang that to Demi," one viewer tweeted sarcastically.

Regardless, whether Kutcher's skit at the awards show was meant to be silly or serious, it's doubtful he'll be pursuing any foothold in the country world in the near future. The Two And A Half Men star has just signed on for the plum role of Steve Jobs in an upcoming biopic.

Behind Carrie Underwood's hot ACMA looks

Behind Carrie Underwood's hot ACMA looks

Behind Carrie Underwood's hot ACMA looks, Carrie Underwood's stylist breaks down her looks from the ACM Awards, The singer needed three very different eye-catching dresses for the show. Carrie Underwood's Outfits: From Awards Shows to the Stage, We're breaking down country music superstar Carrie Underwood's looks from the Academy of Country Music Awards including her red carpet style to her performance outfits.

Yes, it was one evening, but for stylist Trish Townsend the ACMs meant creating three different looks for her star client, Carrie Underwood. A red carpet arrival requires something stunning that photographs well close up. A performance look is an entirely different matter because you really need to capture a whole room--and be able to move without a wardrobe malfunction. And then there's the after party ensemble---a more wearable look appropriate for dancing and letting loose. We headed down to Nashville to meet Trish---country music's most sought after stylist--to get the scoop on how she and Carrie chose each piece for the occasion, and how they have carefully crafted her country glam style since her early post-“Idol” days.

When we met Trish in her "wardrobe closet," it was any girl's dream come true. Dozens upon dozens of gorgeous gowns--ranging in color, cut, length, fabric and designer--filled the racks, and were all hand-picked by Trish for a fitting with Carrie. So what were the ultimate picks? For the red carpet, Carrie and Trish had it down to two.

The first contender was a bold choice that required no accessories except a pair of bright pink Swarovski crystal-encrusted Ryan Haber heels: a stunning and funky tulle Oscar de la Renta. The second option, which ended up the one the stylish duo went with, was a gorgeous Abed Mahfouz long strapless butter yellow gown with a high slit. Carrie looked so glamorous on the red carpet---with those Oscar de la Renta shoes and diamonds by Johnathon Arndt. When it came to selecting a piece that Carrie could comfortably perform in however—something that allowed her to breathe and rock out, but something that was eye-catching enough to ensure her small frame would hold the focus on a large stage— the task was more complicated.

They created a sexy custom-made black-and-fuchsia number by Kymerah. The black fringe was a nod to the fringe dress (also by Kymerah) she wore in her latest music video, “Good Girl." The delicate spaghetti straps were to prevent any wardrobe malfunctions. Trish added her own spice to the piece---with rhinestones, sequins and additional fringe. The leg-baring look was accentuated by sky-high Giuseppe Zanotti booties.

But the night didn’t end there. For the after party, where stars can ostensibly relax and enjoy themselves, Trish selected a fitted Mandalay mini dress with mirrored embellishment plus bead-work up top. Sparkle and more sparkle, as Trish explained, has not only become Carrie’s trademark, but it was her first request back when she was shooting the video for “Jesus Take the Wheel,” for which Townsend bedazzled a pair of Seven jeans. As they were just getting to know each other, Townsend asked Underwood for her style input.

“She said, I love sparkle and I don’t want to be seen in anything my dad would be embarrassed to see me in,” Townsend remembered. “I was like, ‘Okay, we will do that the first year. But then I have plans!’” Even today, though, Carrie manages to bare some skin while remaining demure and glamorous. Even with all the sparkle, Carrie never looks like she's trying to hard. After all, she's a "good girl" who likes to have a lot of fun with fashion. We can't wait to see what the next Trish-Carrie collaboration is on the red carpet!

Stars get emotional on 'Dancing'

Stars get emotional on 'Dancing'

Stars get emotional on 'Dancing', Tears Flow As Stars Celebrate Most Memorable Year On 'Dancing With The Stars'; William Levy Shows Off Abs, The tears flow early and often when the contestants bring their personal stories to the dance floor. It was a night for tissues on "Dancing with the Stars" on Monday as this season's remaining crop of celebrities hit the ballroom in tribute to the most memorable year of their life, with most leaving the dance floor filled with happy tears.


From Welsh belle Katherine Jenkins remembering her late father in a waltz, to Jack Wagner celebrating finding his long lost daughter in the samba, the night was packed with emotional moments celebrating the stars' families, their lost ones and career highlights.

Once again, though, the night belonged to classical singer Katherine. The beauty crafted an engaging and graceful waltz to Josh Groban's "To Where You Are," in memory of the father she lost in 1996 to cancer (she was just 15 at the time).

Her performance, with professional partner Mark Ballas, left her in happy tears and as cameras panned across the ballroom, they caught Melissa Gilbert, pro Peta Murgatroyd and the always-emotional judge Carrie Ann Inaba also with watering eyes.

"Your dad is definitely smiling down upon [you]," Carrie Ann said, through her heavy emotions, and as the pair earned a near perfect 29 out of 30 (a score made up of the first 10s of the season - from Carrie Ann and Bruno Tonioli, combined with a 9 from Len Goodman).

"That was magic, and it was almost like you had two partners," Carrie Ann continued. "I could feel you dancing with Mark, beautifully and effortlessly, and it's like your father's arms were around you, wrapping you throughout he dance. It was just an amazing moment."

It was an emotional night too for former "Family Matters" star Jaleel White, who went into Monday's competition, just hours after a news story broke via Us Weekly, that he and partner Kym Johnson had a heated exchange after he stepped on her foot in a rehearsal last Friday.

According to the report, which an Access Hollywood source later confirmed as well, Mark Ballas stepped in to defend Kym and the "DWTS" production team got involved too, to cool the situation down.

And so it made sense that Jaleel was noticeably emotional after his rumba with Kym, which was inspired by the first year he started playing Steve Urkel's alter ego, Stefan, on "Family Matters."

"I can't even begin to express how personal it was," he told show co-host Brooke Burke backstage as the pair earned 25 out of 30. "I got all my boys here... Kym's been strong for me all week, and it was just -- any time I touch that stuff -- that's my Mickey Mouse. Stefan Urquelle and Steve Urkel are my Mickey Mouse."

Jaleel - without acknowledging the report -- then appeared to break down, as he put his fingers to his eyes.

Asked what was going on by Brooke, Jaleel said, "I love entertaining people. And I've done it since I was 3, and I just wanted to just complete this week."

There were tears too for Maria Menounos, who recalled working with her Greek-immigrant parents in 1988 in Boston clubs as a youngster. Sherri Shepherd cried after dancing a number inspired by the birth of her son, Jeffrey, who was born premature in 2005. Gavin DeGraw welled up after sharing his tale of moving to New York and explaining how his dad pitched gigs for him door-to-door in 1998, and Jack Wagner got emotional dancing with the inspiration of finding his long lost daughter, Kerry, last year (she was given up for adoption by her birth mother years ago).

AH Nation Poll: What did you think of all the tears on "Dancing"? Click HERE to vote.

But not everyone was full of tears. William Levy brought the smiles and pure joy, as he celebrated -- through dance -- 1995, the year he came to the U.S.

Revealing his famed six-pack, the hunk once again brought the ballroom to its knees with a very steamy number alongside partner Cheryl Burke.

"You put a whole new meaning into 'Free Willy.' I'm telling you -- that was loose, it was oily," Len raved, as the pair took second place for the night and 28 out of 30 (including a 10 from Bruno). "Back in 1066, we had a King, William the Conquerer. You conquered the salsa!"

The full leaderboard for April 2 was:

Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas performed a waltz and earned a near perfect 29/30

William Levy and Cheryl Burke tackled the salsa and earned 28/30

Maria Menounos and Derek Hough tackled the rumba and were scored 27/30

Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd tackled the rumba and earned 26/30

Jaleel White and Kym Johnson performed the rumba and earned 25/30

Roshon Fegan and Chelsie Hightower performed a samba and were scored 25/30

Melissa Gilbert and Maksim Chmerkovskiy took on the jive and earned 24/30

Sherri Shepherd and Val Chmerkvoskiy took on the rumba and were scored 24/30

Gavin DeGraw and Karina Smirnoff took on the rumba and earned 24/30

Gladys Knight and Tristan MacManus performed the foxtrot and earned 24/30

Jack Wagner and Anna Trebunskaya performed the samba and earned 24/30

Watch Justin Bieber get covered in slime

Watch Justin Bieber get covered in slime


Watch Justin Bieber get covered in slime, Watch Bieber get slimed, Will Smith gleefully embraced a horror-stricken Justin Bieber as gallons of neon slime drenched him from all directions. No, that's not a line from our Sci-Fi Pop-Star fan fiction -- it was (for many) the highlight of the 2012 Kids' Choice Awards, a moment commanded by voters who wanted their Bieber drenched. Justin Bieber & Taylor Lautner Get Slimed Kids' Choice Awards 2012 Show Highlights:


Look for first lady Michelle Obama's reaction in the audience: She laughs and gracefully dodges some slime herself. Now, we have a hunch that they had to let Justin know he was getting slimed (or at least his handlers did, so they could make sure he didn't have his phone in his pocket), but he does a pretty great job of looking surprised and once the slime hits, you can't fake that reaction. Well done, Beliebers!

Ashton Kutcher's country singing debut

Ashton Kutcher's country singing debut

Ashton Kutcher's country singing debut, Surprise! Ashton Kutcher Sings Country At The ACM Awards, At his first awards show since splitting with Demi Moore, the star belts out a ditty on stage. The 2012 Academy of Country Music Awards featured a range of distinctly non-country presenters, ranging from Marc Anthony to rock legends KISS. However, one of them stood out in particular for gamely making an attempt to impress the country fans in the audience. Ashton Kutcher Could Be The Next Country Star:

That would be Two And A Half Men star Ashton Kutcher, who took the stage to present the female vocalist of the year award dressed in full cowboy gear--including a black hat, oversized belt buckle, and flashy coat.

He then went a step further by singing a stanza from a country song...and not just any country song, but "I Cross My Heart" by the King of Country, George Strait, himself.

Although Kutcher's certainly no Strait, he didn't do half-bad of a job--especially considering this is one of the first awards-show appearances he's made since splitting with wife Demi Moore late last year. He has a pleasant on-key voice and didn't falter once. Furthermore, the audience seemed to enjoy his little serenade.

But don't count on Kutcher pursuing any Nashville record deals in the near future. It's just been announced that he'll be portraying the late Steve Jobs in an upcoming film, so chances are he'll be kicking off his boots and getting to work on that.

Taylor Swift's ACM Chances

Taylor Swift's ACM Chances

Taylor Swift's ACM Chances, Predicting the ACMs: Swift, Shelton Likely to Repeat–But How About a Lady A/Band Perry Smackdown?, The star faces worthy competition for Entertainer of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards. If you were a betting country music fan, you'd probably already be in Las Vegas to get some roulette spinning in, in advance of Sunday night's Academy of Country Music Awards. But if you prefer your wagers to be purely symbolic, there's no reason not to be an armchair gambler and lay odds on who'll win the top prizes at the ACMs.


In what are usually the three most-watched categories—entertainer, male vocalist, and female vocalist of the year—we're placing our bets on a three-peat by Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton, and Miranda Lambert, respectively. But everything else is up for grabs. See if our prognostications meet with your approval:

ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR

• Jason Aldean
• Kenny Chesney
• Brad Paisley
• Blake Shelton
• Taylor Swift

WILL WIN: Swift. This award goes to the person who's considered the best ambassador to the outside world for country music and/or the biggest touring act. Without a doubt, both criteria fit T-Swift to a tee. And if she won it last year, how much easier will it be to give it to her after yet another sold-out concert trek this past year that found her graduating to stadiums in some cities? Also, this award is largely fan-voted. Need we say more? There's a huge amount of support for Shelton and Aldean, too, but those votes may cross each other out. Paisley and Chesney have had their day, the thinking goes—fairly or otherwise—as much as it seems premature to relegate them to elder statesmen.

SHOULD WIN: Swift. What, you don't agree? Why you gotta be so mean? The genre could have no better evangelist, as far as being a Vogue cover girl and someone who's not so far above her raising as to not stop by to do interviews with local radio DJs, as she did with a huge number of them assembled in Las Vegas this week. A gracious savant who happens to be one of the world's half-dozen most beloved entertainers in any genre is not going to lose this without a much-merited riot.

Madonna Girl Gone Wild Video

Madonna Girl Gone Wild Video

Madonna Girl Gone Wild Video, Madonna brushes off YouTube controversy, Madonna defends new video after YouTube slaps restriction, Madonna has brushed off the controversy surrounding the raunchy video for her latest single "Girl Gone Wild" after YouTube slapped it with a viewing age restriction, insisting: "How could you go wild and not grind?" The pop superstar's new promo includes nudity and a man rubbing his crotch, and YouTube execs restricted the clip, only making it available for those age 18 or above.

A representative for YouTube told the New York Post, "We review all videos flagged by our users against our community guidelines. In some cases we age restrict flagged material that, while not in violation of those guidelines, contains images that may be unsuitable for younger users."

Madonna's management have reportedly been asked to recut the video so YouTube can screen the video for all of its users, and the singer's publicist, Liz Rosenberg, insists it's nothing they haven't dealt with before.

"Some things never change," Rosenberg said. "This is a throwback to when MTV refused to show 'Justify My Love' [in 1990]."

Now Madonna herself has addressed the controversy in a new interview with Jimmy Fallon. In the chat, which aired live on Facebook.com on Saturday night, she says, "I'm supposed to be a girl gone wild in the video! How could you go wild and not grind? This is the question that people should be asking."

Video of dancing toddler goes viral

Video of dancing toddler goes viral


Video of dancing toddler goes viral, Video of two-year-old dancing to ‘Jailhouse Rock’ goes viral, Showcasing Elvis Presley's signature hip movements, William Stokkebroe performs to the 1957 hit, 'Jailhouse Rock.' This baby sure knows how to boogie! A video starring William Stokkebroe, a toddler with loads of panache, was posted a mere nine days ago but has already amassed almost 2.5 million views.

"After seeing his parents, Kristina and Peter Stokkebroe, and the dancers of Studie43 practicing, he is showing what he has learned at the Gala opening," YouTube user Studie43 explains in the video's description.
For one minute and 42 seconds, Stokkebroe shows no fear as he bursts onto the dance floor and performs for a room full of people to Elvis Presley's 1957 hit, "Jailhouse Rock."

At the age of two, the little tyke can shake, rattle and roll with the best of them and brings the audience to a spirited round of applause when he takes his gracious bow at the end of his performance.

Striking poses like "The King" and singing along with the music, Stokkebroe wins the crowd over in a matter of seconds as he imitates his parents and showcases Presley's signature hip movements.

Viewers are predicting that this toddler could likely appear on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and have been expressing their kudos to Stokkebroe ever since the video was posted.

Could a career in the dance world be forthcoming for this youngster? We certainly hope so!

Katy Perry's gender transformation video

Katy Perry's gender transformation video


Katy Perry's gender transformation video, Katy Perry Transforms Into Marine For New Video, The girly pop star strips away her feminine frills piece by piece to try on a new identity. Katy Perry is best known for her ultra-sweet style--ranging from easter-egg-colored hair to dresses made out of candy--but she turns this trademark on its ear with the new video for her latest single "Part Of Me."

In the clip, Perry reacts to a cheating boyfriend in a swift and impulsive manner: She transforms herself completely...into an iron-tough, masculine Marine.

Perry's metamorphosis into character is rapid and dramatic, starting with hacking all her hair off in a gas station bathroom and tossing it into the toilet. She then binds her chest, trades her sundress for an androgynous drab hoodie, and accepts a backpack and fatigues from a Marine recruiter.

And that's where the real fun starts. Perry reportedly trained with boot-camp instructors to ready herself for the video, which stars a cast of real Marines and puts the singer through real military exercises.

The result? Perry, arguably one of the girliest girls in entertainment these days, puts up a surprisingly convincing hard front as she shoots a gun, wrestles soldiers, crawls under barbed wire, and scrambles up ropes.

The video ends with a striking closeup of Perry, makeup-free except for camouflage face paint, staring down the camera. It's a remarkable way to make her point that no ex will ever break her spirit or her strength--and, it's sure to be a hit with the girl-power set this year.

Rumors are bubbling, of course, that Perry wrote the tune about her ex-husband Russell Brand. However, Perry told MTV she wrote the song a couple of years ago, which would put it outside of the Brand period.

Regardless of who originally inspired the tune, Perry finds herself inspired now by the strength and skills of our men and women in uniform. "I have SO MUCH respect for anyone serving any role in the service after this shoot," she tweeted on Wednesday.

Lady Antebellum's Prom gig

Lady Antebellum's Prom gig 

Lady Antebellum's Prom gig, A southern Indiana high school wrecked by tornadoes won a free concert by country music stars Lady Antebellum on Tuesday thanks to a rival school that, along with students in other states, advocated on the battered school’s behalf in an online contest.

Schools from as far away as northern Wisconsin submitted YouTube videos urging the Grammy-winning group to choose Henryville High School in the band’s “Own the Night” contest offering the winning school a concert at its prom. Henryville’s schools were heavily damaged when powerful tornadoes ripped through the region earlier this month, killing 13 people.

The winning video was entered by students at longtime sports rival Silver Creek High School in nearby Sellersburg, Ind. Henryville also got video support from a southern Illinois community hit by a fatal tornado in February.

“It meant a lot to us and made a lot of people cry. Knowing there’s that many people out there that cared to give it to us instead of their own prom,” said 17-year-old Henryville junior Daniele Kats.

She said word spread quickly on Facebook about Lady Antebellum’s choosing her school for the concert, adding: “It’s gonna be awesome.”

Lady Antebellum said the band was touched by Henryville’s “story, resilience and unity following devastating tornadoes.” Because of a scheduling conflict, the trio won’t be able to perform at Henryville’s prom on April 27, so a concert will be held for juniors and seniors in nearby Louisville, Ky., on May 16, followed by a benefit for the community.

Lady Antebellum singer Charles Kelley said Henryville students shouldn’t be disappointed that the band won’t be able to visit their community.

“Trust me, we have something even bigger in store,” Kelley said in the band’s video announcing the win. Fellow singer Hillary Scott added: “See you soon, Henryville!”

The trio, rounded out by Dave Haywood, won best country album at this year’s Grammy Awards for “Own the Night,” and took home several Grammys last year, including record and song of the year for “Need You Now.” Details about its Louisville concert will be released soon.

The winning video from Silver Creek High School included footage of the devastation in Henryville and interviews with residents. It ends with a student standing in a field before dozens of classmates, saying: “Lady A, even if we don’t win the contest, we’re still going to own the night anyway” before they begin chanting “HHS! HHS!”

Other video entries supporting Henryville came from D.C. Everest Senior High School in Weston, Wis., and from Harrisburg, Ill., where a tornado that struck Feb. 29 killed seven people. Harrisburg students said that despite their community’s loss, they decided to back Henryville’s prom bid.

Henryville art teacher Amy Fischmer, the prom committee’s co-chairwoman, said her students were “grateful and happy” about the outpouring of support on the school’s behalf following the devastating storms on March 2.

“That day was a tragedy, but they’re just rallying and making the most of it and just enjoying life,” she said. “For the winning video to be one that was entered on their behalf from another school makes it mean so much more. It kind of reaffirms your hope in humanity.”

Classes for Henryville high school students will resume on April 2 in a nearby community. The prom, which is expecting about 200 students, also will be held at another site.

Mary Beth Coffman, Silver Creek’s mass media teacher, recruited three of her students to be the video’s stars and spent two days filming in Henryville for the video.

“I’ve been jumping up and down and screaming by myself,” Coffman said. “I’m so excited to be part of something that’s going to be so special.”

Rock legend erupts in anti-Rihanna rant

Rock legend erupts in anti-Rihanna rant

Rock legend erupts in anti-Rihanna rant, Gene Simmons And Tommy Lee Slam Rihanna For Lip-Syncing, One iconic musician goes off about the singer and other pop stars who "fake" performances. A press conference to announce KISS and Motley Crue's 40-date co-headlining North American summer tour turned into a Rihanna diss session Tuesday. Outspoken KISS bassist Gene Simmons stressed that the bands's sets would be live, unlike Rihanna's stage show.


"We're sick and tired of girls getting up there with dancers and karaoke tapes in back of them," Simmons said, according to Billboard. "No karaoke singers allowed. No fake bullsh-t. Leave that to Rihanna-Schimianna and everybody else whose name ends with an 'A.'"

After the press conference, Motley Crue's Tommy Lee supported Simmons's statements. "No disrespect to Rihanna, she's a great singer, but we're in a slump for some sh-t that has some personality and appeal beyond a bunch of pop stuff that's floating around out there," he said.
"I'm glad he said that actually because I don't think I can bear watching another f—king award show that is just a little better than 'American Idol.' It's f—king pathetic to watch people go out and f—king karaoke with a bunch of lights and video. It's all completely watered down."

Rihanna: Adele's Music Is "Depressing"

Simmons has been outspoken about lip-syncing. When it was announced that Madonna would perform during halftime at Super Bowl XLVI, he expressed his disappointment.

"I love all karaoke singers," he told TMZ. "I like all the girl singers who get up and sing with tapes. Shame on you."

Simmons described lip-syncing as dishonest. "I don't care what your music is, have some integrity, be real, or full disclosure before the fact," he said. "Hold up a sign that says, '70 percent of what you hear is fake. It's a tape. I'm a karaoke singer.'"
