Seriously, Miley can’t stop, and she wasn’t kidding. Just three days after twerking it up with dwarves in Germany, Miley has done it again — this time, in the UK.
Miley Cyrus loves herself some foam fingers — that’s for sure! On Sept. 12 the “We Can’t Stop” singer filmed a segment on UK’s Chatty Man, where she got super suggestive (again) with a foam finger, and once again got down with dwarves!
Miley Cyrus’ Scandalous UK Appearance
Stuffed bears, foam fingers, they’re all the same to Miley!
Taking the stage in super-tight latex-looking high-waisted pants and a bra top, Miley chose one of her sexiest look off. She layered it with a pink fur jacket, with black and white designs down the sleeves.
Weird, but yes — sexy. However, during the interview with Alan Carr, which airs on Friday, Sept. 13, Miley is given a foam finger — and of course,...

Looks like the recent trend of British pop stars invading our radios, record stores and television screens won’t be ending any time soon — popular English singer-songwriter Olly Murs will release his debut album In Case You Didn’t Know in the U.S. on September 25. Murs’ has already won over our cousins across the pond with his catchy tunes (and perhaps a little assistance from his not-exactly-unappealing physical appearance), already boasting two platinum records and three #1 singles in the UK.
The former soccer player (or footballer, if you want to get sophisticated) had dreams of going pro, but a neck injury forced him to watch games from the pub rather than the field. A few successful Stevie Wonder covers on the pub’s karaoke machine led Murs to audition for the sixth season of the original UK "The X Factor." The runner-up is currently assisting One Direction...

Moonrise Kingdom Soundtrack by Various Artists
Wes Anderson films have a very distinct, trademark style that can usually be identified as his. Certain traits exist across his films, including a pace that is methodical and slower than many other films, flawed characters (and many of the same actors), dry humor, cinematography that is simplistic and visually pleasing and soundtracks that are mostly folksy and classical while including some foreign language and classic rock pieces as well. The soundtrack for Anderson’s latest film, Moonrise Kingdom, is no exception. There are three tracks from American composer Leonard Bernstein’s Children’s Classics collection. The innocence of these symphonic pieces are a perfect fit for a film about two children attempting to run away from a summer camp together. French composer Alexandre Desplat’s seven-part “The Heroic Weather – Conditions of...

Featuring thirteen tracks including an electro-pop song Elizabeth Banks sings called, "The Hormone Song" (a little bit of which you can hear here, it's geniusly retarded) the soundtrack features songs by Chiddy Bang, Black Lips, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, David Gray and newcomers Sleeper Agent and Graffiti6. The disc also features a Jimmy Buffett cover band A1A, as well as two previously unreleased tracks, NiRé All Dai’s “Inside Out” and A Fine Frenzy’s “Now Is The Start ” (since versions are already out, we assume they're slightly different from the album ones).

Madison, Wisconsin — Diplo brought along his Philly comrades Chiddy Bang to kick off the first date on the Axe One Night Only Tour, which invaded this campus town on Tuesday night.
Diplo graced Madison's Majestic theatre and he'll touch down on six more college campuses before the run is over. On Tuesday, the mood was ecstatic: If you could only hear the set, you might not have known that there were fewer than 600 fans at the show because they had the energy of Leonidas' "300" soldiers.
The college crowd greeted hip-hop duo Chiddy Bang with insane enthusiasm as they launched into the title track from their sophomore effort, "Breakfast." Frontman Chiddy (a.k.a. Chidera Anamege) had no problem working the crowd like a vet. Some highlights for the fans included the singles "Truth" and "The Good Life." However, it came as no surprise that their smash hit "Opposite of Adults" (you know,...

After Girl Talk's successful invasion of college campuses late last year, producer/DJ Diplo is ready to do the same later this month with hip-hoppers Chiddy Bang in tow.
The concert series, dubbed the “Axe One Night Only Tour,” began in 2010 with gigs from Ti and Weezer, and has evolved into a bona fide guerilla college campus invasion of sorts beginning with Girl Talk's low-key 2011 dates.
The tour offers a chance for fans to see their favorite acts (for free!) in much more intimate settings than they’re used to. For example, we witnessed Girl Talk perform for around 200 people when he’s used to playing for thousands of rabid fans. Keeping things spontaneous, each show will be announced on Axe’s Facebook and Twitter pages just days before it takes place.

The South by Southwest music festival just got a little more star-studded. Just two days after Jay-z's livestream SXSW concert was announced, the folks at Eminem's label announced the "Shady 2.0 SXSW Showcase."
50 Cent will headline the March 16 concert at Austin Music Hall and perform his 2003 debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin', in its entirety. The Shady veteran isn't the only draw: The label's more recent signees Yelawolf and Slaughterhouse will also take the stage to rep the label. There's no word yet if Slim Shady himself will show up, but Big K.R.I.T., Schoolboy Q, Action Bronson, Don Trip, Sts and the Foodchain are sure to take the stage. MTV News correspondent and Shade 45 radio host Sway Calloway will host the evening.

After bringing down the house at last year's South by Southwest music festival as part of Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music show, Jay-z is set to return to the Austin city limits for a special live-stream concert.
The event, "Amex Sync Show Presenting Jay-z," was announced Tuesday (March 6) in conjunction with a new Twitter initiative for American Express cardholders.
Rumors have been circulating that Jay might be cooking up a big event at the fest with Eminem, but nothing has been announced about Em's involvement. Last year's G.O.O.D. event was such a smashing success — featuring John Legend, Mos Def, Pusha T, Big Sean, Kid Cudi and more — that it wouldn't be a surprise if Jay and...

Adele's <i>21</i>

Surely someone is going to come along to knock Adele off her perch. But in the meantime, the Grammy-winning singer simply cannot be beat, as her 21 will notch its 22nd non-consecutive week at #1 next week thanks to sales of nearly 297,000, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan.
And that's with sales dropping almost 60 percent from her post-Grammy high. More than a year into her incredible run, Adele has sold almost 7.7 million copies of her second album in the U.S. Also holding strong was the Whitney Houston greatest-hits collection, which lost just 1 percent of its sales from the previous week, staying in the #2 position on sales of 174,000 in the second full chart week since the singer's death. It was joined in the top 10 by the soundtrack to "The Bodyguard," (#6, 47,000, up 176 percent) and her...
