Kerr stopped during his performance to air out his growing tensions towards the crowd’s lack of excitement.
“I guess I should introduce ourselves, seeing as no one actually knows who we are. We’re called Royal Blood, and this is rock music. Who likes rock music?” he fiercely asked the crowd and expressed further disappointment at the “nine people” who responded.

She’s always a pleasant sight to behold, and Mollie King showed up at the Felder+Felder Fall 2013 presentation in London, England today (February 15).
And despite the chilly weather, the Saturdays singer/songwriter donned a darling halter dress and even showed a little side-boob as she enjoyed the London Fashion Week shindig.
Seated next to Vv Brown and Kate Nash, Mollie definitely found her favorite feature of Felder+Felder’s magnificent showing, and it wasn’t the clothes.
King tweeted, “I loved the girl who took off her shoes. I thought that was just brilliant.
I think that's what every girl wants to do. If you're struggling a little bit in your heels you just want to take them off.”...

Caroline Flack hosted an evening of live music last night as Great Britain hosted its first official Arthur's Day celebrations. The Xtra Factor presented live sets from Tom Jones, Wretch 32, Vv Brown and Razorlight at the Senate venue in London. "I had heard a lot about Arthur's Day and I wasn't disappointed, the crowd were brilliant," Flack said. "It made me proud to be part of the first event in this country." The first Arthur's Day was held in Ireland in 2009 to mark the 250th anniversary of Arthur Guinness signing a 9,000 year lease on the famous brewery. Razorlight said: "Thank you London!

I just didn't love being in the music business," she said. "You wake up and do interviews about yourself, you tour music written by yourself, you hear yourself on the radio." She added: "People treat you differently because you're on the TV. It just got really boring. There's only so long you can look at your reflection in the mirror." (more)...

Gorgeous U.K. pop singer Vv Brown mixes her sultry, ’60s-era voice with very current tracks to make a unique sound. So it’s not at all surprising that she takes the same approach with her style: vintage and modern blended for a look you won’t see on anyone else. When she stopped by last week to perform “Children” on Big Morning Buzz Live, we very much coveted her fur shrug and quilted dress ensemble. And those zebra-print loafers! Turns out, she knows people want to emulate her style, so she’s actually launching VVvintage.com this winter, which she described to the San Francisco Examiner as an “online fashion store, a vintage boutique that features culture and art, and we also have a design agency where we promote young designers that come straight out of fashion college.” Take a closer look at her style after the jump.

Dannii Minogue has not just lost her X factor job this year, it seems she has lost her place as the face of M&S also.
The high street retailer is said to have dropped the Australian star from their upcoming advertising campaigns, most likely because she doesn’t enjoy the exposure brought by being on the nation’s biggest TV show.
Marks and Spencers have kept fellow celebrities Lisa Snowdon, Twiggy and Jamie Redknapp on for their upcoming advertisements, though models Vv Brown and Ana Beatriz Barros have been ditched.
It’s been a bad year for Dannii, who recently announced that she was leaving The X Factor, though many believe she was pushed out by Simon Cowell. Rumours were also rife recently, that she was experiencing difficulties in her relationship with partner Kris Smith.
Louis Walsh admitted yesterday that he still misses Minogue on the ITV show.

A year ago, who would have thought we'd all be in a club whipping our hair to the sounds of one swagged-out nine-year-old named Willow Smith?

Trey Songz brought us passion, pain and lots of pleasure, while Jaden Smith karate-kicked his way to the top of the box office and R&B crooner Miguel sang his way into our hearts.

I’ve been pondering the philosophical implications of our latest Under-appreciated Entertainer of the Year bracket game, and I’m getting dizzy. Let’s just say that the divine Patricia Clarkson (Easy A, Shutter Island) edges the voice of Barbie from Toy Story 3, Jodi Benson, in Round 1 and goes on to win the entire contest. Does that make her the most Under-appreciated Entertainer of 2010, or by winning, is she no longer under-appreciated? By that argument then, isn’t the entertainer who loses the first-round popular vote by the largest margin, technically, the most underrated? And if the most underrated...

Vv Brown has quite the impressive resume. At 27, she has already an established singer-songwriter (opening for the likes of Maroon 5 and Pink), a model, a comic book author and now the latest person to receive the "World of Jenks" treatment.
Back in August, Brown arrived at the MTV News office for an interview sporting a shadow in the form of director Andrew Jenks and his camera crew. The "World of Jenks" episode featuring Vv Brown, which aired Monday night (November 8th), features Jenks documenting the British singer's life as she tries to break through to American audiences.
"At the moment he’s following little old me from Northampton," explained Brown, who while being filmed by MTV News for the interview was also simultaneously being filmed by the Jenks crew at the time (it was a little surreal to see Jenks' cameras filming our cameras filming Vv). "I guess I'm 'The Musician.

Vv Brown has started her career by defying expectations. As a musician, the Brit has toured the world in support of her debut album, which she not only sang on, but also played instruments, produced and wrote. In addition to her music career, the Northampton native has dabbled in everything from modeling to writing comic books. Summarizing her personality, Brown said: "I'm a creative person."
Her eclectic musical background shows how she generated her sound. As a child, she was classically trained as a pianist and learned to sing in her church choir. Later, Brown began playing in bands, and at age 15, she toured Japan with a punk group. A few years ago, she was signed by the same team that brought Amy Winehouse to Island Records.

HollywoodNews.com: Dannii Minogue will be pulling on her leg-warmers for a Marks & Spencer’s advert this Christmas, according to reports.
Inspired by Pineapple Dance Studios, the multi-million-pound ad will also reportedly include M&S models Vv Brown, Lisa Snowdon, Twiggy, Jamie Redknapp and model Ana Beatriz Barros. According to UK newspaper The Sun, a first script for the campaign is set in an aerobics studio with musicals Cabaret, Mamma Mia! and Chicago being used for inspiration.
After warming up in the studio, the 38-year-old ‘X factor’ judge will reportedly dance in a cobbled street wearing a fake fur with her co-stars before they are transported to a “Studio 54-style disco” where Redknapp is DJing.
M&S bosses reportedly want the part of an aerobics instructor to be played by a big-name celebrity, but a spokesman for the high-street chain said: “It’s too early to talk about our Christmas campaign.

We're still several months away from the premiere of Conan O'Brien's new talk show, which will hopefully infuse the late night field with the same sort of energy it had at the beginning of 2010. As it stands, everything feels a little bit flat at the moment (though it is good to have "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" back in the regular rotation), though perhaps it's just the dog days of summer catching up with everybody. Regardless, that hasn't stopped people from booking top-level talent for wackiness, which is exactly what's happening this week on "The Late Show with David Letterman." He'll talk to such luminaries as Will Ferrell (Monday, August 2), Michael Cera (Tuesday, August 3), Julia Roberts (Wednesday, August 4) and Mark Wahlberg (Thursday, August 5). It'll also be a busy musical week for Letterman, as he'll introduce performances by Damian Marley and Nas (Monday), the Dead Weather (Wednesday) and...

In the recent retro-soul revolution a few standouts have emerged and German singer Oceana can be added to that list. Her debut album overflows with pop perfections, combining a mix of musical styles with brutally honest lyrics. Single "Cry Cry" uses a simple piano bounce and hand claps to tell a story of lost hope. The title track bursts with soulful energy over funk horns and a catchy drum beat. Her version of a ballad is certainly bittersweet ("Fucked Up Situation"). She pulls off reggae ("He Says", "Baby Hold On") and modern R&B ("Bad Boy") with equal ease. "Lala" is a fantastic candy-coated throwback to 60's pop and hip-hop beats drive "Upside Down". The down-tempo closer "You Need A Hug" is sweet but also features lyrics like 'it's not my fault you made the choice to be somebody's bitch'. It's a great album that also marks the arrival of a new talent to watch.

If anyone can pick a pop culture winner it's the gays, right? Tonight at 10:00pm the Logo channel (our parent company) is airing the 2010 NewNowNext Awards. For those few people left on the planet who aren't familiar with them, these awards are about finding today what will be trending tomorrow. While other awards honor those who have already made it, Nnn Awards sets its sights on brink of fame up-and-comers who are just beginning to be buzzed about.
Logo's Nnn Awards have earned a reputation for calling the trends long before they hit the mainstream. Lady Gaga gave her first televised performance here, a year before she won at the VMAs and wowed the world. True Blood was showered with kudos long before it won an Emmy. And Twilight was nominated for an Nnn Award before it even hit the silver screen.

Pink's head is "spinning" about her tour. The "So What" singer is due to begin her "Funhouse Summer Carnival Tour" on May 29 in Cologne, Germany, and she has been spending the last few days panicking about hitting the road. She tweeted on her twitter page, "Spent an entire day packing. only 3 more days and I'll be ready to put it all in suitcases, my head is spinning (sic)."
Pink is also trying to get in the best shape she can for the mammoth run of concerts, which involve several grueling and acrobatic dance routines, but is struggling to stay motivated in the gym. She added in another posting on her twitter page, "74 minutes cardio? Couldn't I just do the last 6? I'm sooooo rebellious. If I have to do one single sit up ill cry. I Won't Do It!!!! (sic)."

Maroon 5 have been readying their third studio album. It's called "Hands All Over" and scheduled to be released in the United States on September 21 with its new materials to be previewed during the band's upcoming tour which will begin on July 31 in Saratoga.
The album is worked on with the help from producer Mutt Lange. It is "kind of hearkens back to the spirit behind the first record (Songs About Jane) and is less like the second one (It Won't Be Soon Before Long) - or is a combination of both, the best elements of both all in one," frontman Adam Levine told Billboard.
"He thinks huge; he wants to reach everybody in every country. He doesn't want to dumb things down, but he wants to make things understandable and accessible," he praised the producer. "And we don't think about things like that. I just think about how I'm...

The Back-up Plan soundtrack. Sometimes the combination of creative personnel attached to a movie form an open invitation to work yourself into a lather of anticipatory excitement (let’s use Scott Pilgrim as a slightly tired example). Then there are those other occasions when the individuals involved are so professionally incognito as to invite only the blankest of blank shrugs. So it is with The Back-up Plan, the new romantic comedy directed by Alan Poul (who?), scripted by Kate Angelo (who?), and boasting Alex O’Loughlin as its male lead (I’ll say it again, who?). There is one big name involved though (or little name if you use that stupid abbreviation so beloved of the tabloids), in the curvy shape of Jennifer Lopez.
The plot of The Back-up Plan involves Lopez’ Zoe being impregnated via artificial insemination because she can’t find the right man, only to meet her...

**Scroll down for pics** After Lindsay Lohan made an appearance at a taping of 'American Idol' Wednesday night, she went to a Star magazine party (photos below) where she saw Vv Brown perform and, around 4:30 a.m., took to Twitter to vent at her dad. Lindsay deleted the tweets soon after she posted them but E! has preserved them in screengrabs. "Someone, which I've mentioned in the past, fell back into the person they used to be when they'd verbally & psychically abused & hurt me... "It reminded me of when my father would verbally/literally Hurt my mother, brothers, sister Aliana," she continues. "Now, as scary for me-->mind, body&sould- it's been, why, i ask u? why me? i've worked so hard, and still work so hard in life-i try to do as fmuch as i can to put my fathers lack of...

We knew it was only a matter of time. Lindsay Lohan wasn't really going to let her father get away with talking all doom and gloom about her. We were just waiting for her to fire back with some doozies on Twitter. She didn't disappoint. After the actress spent her evening at the taping for American Idol and checking out Vv Brown at a Star magazine party, she let her fingers do the talking. It was sometime around 4:30 a.m. Pt, so there's no telling how tired or whatever she was when she wrote her four-tweet opus. "Someone, which I've mentioned in the past, fell back into the person they used to be when they'd verbally & psychically abused & hurt...

The internet is slowly taking over my life. I've somehow ended up in a place where I'm managing two Twitter accounts, writing for three blogs, acting as webmaster for a website and maintaing a regular posting schedule here on Pajiba. Now, this is not a terrible thing because if I can get good enough at this stuff one day I might get paid to sit at home in my pajamas and play on the internet according to my own schedule and that would be awesome. For now, though, I'm dreading the day that I get a real job and all these various web spaces that I've cultivated get left by the wayside as I have to devote more time per week to doing something that will pay for things like food, shelter, and my crippling addiction to Sephora. Plenty of people have set out to make money on the internet,...
