A brand new track called "I Made It" which is performed by Kevin Rudolf has come out. Expected to appear in his forthcoming sophomore album, the song has Lil Wayne, Jay Sean and Birdman contributing to the hook.

This is not the first time Kevin hooks up with Weezy. Previously, the singer/producer who produced the title track of Cobra Starship's "Hot Mess" teamed up with the Young Money artist in his hit single "Let It Rock" which is taken from his debut album "In the City".

Kevin Rudolf is working on his new album amidst the many collaborations he has taken, including producing and writing for such artists as Leona Lewis, Allison Iraheta and Kris Allen. Other details about his album are still under wraps.

The People’s Choice Awards, which were broadcast last night from Los Angeles’s Nokia Theater, are an awards show where, you guessed it the people pick the winners. This year, which was no real surprise, the people picked vampires.

The Twilight Saga, True Blood and The Vampire Diaries all got trophies Wednesday at the 36th annual event. Twilight won four trophies, including favorite movie, franchise and onscreen team for the trio of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, who also picked up the breakout male actor award.

Winners in the movie categories included Sandra Bullock as favorite movie actress, Hugh Jackman as favorite action star, The Proposal as favorite comedy movie and Up for favorite family movie. Sacha Baron Cohen, appearing as himself and not as his alter egos Borat or Bruno, presented Johnny Depp with a special award as favorite movie actor of the decade.

After thoroughly eviscerating the 2009 People's Choice Awards, I was honored (possibly not the correct word) to be asked by my editors if I would watch and comment on this year's ceremony. And while I do not believe I deserve any credit or thanks -- send your notes of gratitude to whoever hired Survivor producer Mark Burnett - I am thrilled to announce that the 2010 People's Choice Awards were at least 47 percent less utterly moronic than their predecessor. In fact, it is possible I legitimately enjoyed entire seconds of the broadcast. Because of this enjoyment, and because I am, in fact,...

Nicole Scherzinger joined Cobra Starship when the band performed their song "Good Girls Go Bad" on the stage of Nokia Theater at the 36th Annual People's Choice Awards. She traded her bronze long dress which she wore at the red carpet segment with a black mini outfit.

Before collaborating with The Pussycat Dolls' lead singer, the Gabe Saporta-fronted band delivered "Hot Mess". Their performance was introduced by female singers Colbie Caillat and Demi Lovato.

Another musical guest on the January 6 gala was Mary J. Blige. The R&B performer, who was accompanied by her husband Kendu Isaacs when walking on the red carpet, entertained the concergoers with "I Am", one of the singles appearing in her latest studio album "Stronger With Each Tear".

The 2010 People's Choice Awards announced fans' favorites in TV, music and movie categories. Queen Latifah who served as the show performed a jazz musical number.

The gala ceremony of the 36th Annual People's Choice Awards has just been wrapped, and all of this year's winners has been announced. Standing out among the recipients of the coveted awards were two newcomers on the music and movie biz, Lady GaGa and Taylor Lautner, as they collected two kudos each.

23-year-old GaGa led the music field as she collected Favorite Breakout Music Artist as well as Favorite Pop Artist. She bested over Adam Lambert, Demi Lovato, Kris Allen and Susan Boyle for the Breakout title, and denied Taylor Swift from making January 6 her night by stealing the Pop Artist kudo.

17-year-old Lautner, in the meantime, was triumphant in movie category by taking home Favorite Breakout Actor and Favorite On-Screen Team. For the latter title, he shared it with his "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. His two counts made "Twilight" a winner with...

After announcing Mariah Carey, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban as early winners in music category, the 36th Annual People's Choice Awards rolls out its full list of musicians who manage to walk away with trophies in their hands. Leading the pack is Lady GaGa.

The dance queen receives double victory. She wins over Adam Lambert, Demi Lovato, Kris Allen and Susan Boyle in Favorite Breakout Music Artist. She grabs her second award in Favorite Pop Artist after facing off Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Black Eyed Peas.

Losing the battle against Lady GaGa in Favorite Pop Artist and Carrie Underwood in Favorite Country Artist, Taylor Swift is voted Favorite Female Artist by music lovers. She blocks the likes of Beyonce Knowles, Britney and Pink to win the prize and denies Carrie from scooping her second award.

"What a beautiful, beautiful way to start out a new decade," the...

Hollywood stars have stepped out to 2010 People's Choice Awards, and among those showing off their best red carpet look is Nicole Scherzinger. The lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls, who is expected to make a collaboration with Cobra Starship on the award show, worked on the red carpet in her skin-hugging bronze dress.

While Scherzinger opted to go with a floor-touching dress, several other celebrities such as Carrie Underwood, Sandra Bullock, Kate Walsh, Diane Kruger and Lea Michelle coming to the event were seen wearing shorter dresses. Carrie, in particular, was styled in Christian Cota's strapless dress complete with a pair of Rock & Republic shoes.

As the ladies were stunning in their dresses, the men were looking hot in their suits. "Twilight Saga" star Kellan Lutz showed off his formal side by wearing a blue suit by Calvin Klein. Also seen sporting formal suit to the event were three of the "Glee" stars Cory Monteith,...

Red carpet has been rolled out in front of Nokia Theater to greet the attendees of the 36th Annual People's Choice Awards on Wednesday night, January 6. The likes of Carrie Underwood and Hayley Williams are spotted posing for the photographers before going inside the venue.

Arriving in a limo, Carrie is wearing a strapless cream and black dress. The "American Idol" is bringing along a dark-colored clutch to finish off her look. As for the frontwoman of Paramore, she appears with orange hair and is donning a black and white outfit.

Furthermore, Chris Colfer shows up at the evening celebration, wearing a tuxedo. The Kurt Hummel of "Glee" manages to stop for an interview with TV Guide, accompanied by his co-stars Kevin McHale, in gray costume, and Amber Riley who is sporting a magenta dress.

Nicole Scherzinger is also coming to the event, wearing a bronze long dress. The lead...

There was no shortage of musical moments in 2009 — and not all of them revolved around Lady Gaga, either. Artists bubbled beneath the surface, broke through to the mainstream and established themselves as unlikely forces to be reckoned with. Say what you will about the past 12 months, but you can't deny that they were interesting.

There was Blink-182's big-time reunion tour, Cobra Starship's party-hearty anthems and the sleeper success of Owl City, to name just a few. Kris Allen's underdog win on "American Idol." Ke$ha's out-of-nowhere ascent to the upper reaches of the Billboard Hot 100. Jay Sean extending the reach of Cash Money's musical empire. Everywhere you looked, things were happening.

Every day a multitude of stars wanders through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with our intrepid correspondents. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.

The holidays can be tough for musicians, especially if they're on the road and away from their families. That's a moot point when your family is with you, and it's even better when you're in warm weather. Such is the case of Jordin Sparks, who has been on the road performing at holiday radio festivals (including last week's Z100 Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden in New York City) and found herself hanging out with her mother Jodi at the Eden Roc Resort in Miami Beach on Wednesday. She spent time with fellow singer Steph Jones and also got a necklace from jewelry designer Rafi Anteby.

The radio festival season continued last night in Camden, New Jersey, where Philadelphia pop station Q102 hosted their Jingle Ball, which featured Jordin Sparks, the Fray, Cobra Starship, Jay Sean, Pitbull and everybody's favorite Twitpic co-star Justin Bieber.

If the measure of an artist's success can be measured solely in the number of signs that fans bring to express their devotion to a performer, then Bieber is one of the biggest names in the world right now. It's no wonder that the 15-year-old Canadian has created such a buzz among his devotees, as he has created a direct link between himself and his fans, mostly via Twitter. He will often respond to fans' tweets and seems to be genuinely stoked to perform for whoever finds the "golden ticket" hidden in a copy of his album.

Bieber remains in a cast because of his fractured foot (which he hurt while on...

What do Justin Bieber and Cobra Starship have in common? Absolutely nothing, but who the hell cares... we can't get enough of The Biebs.The teeny, glossy-maned phenom was challenged to a dance off earlier this week by Cobra Starship's front man, Gabe Saporta, but had to resort to other methods of thrashery due to his broken foot. "Playing the drums and using a broken foot on the pedal isnt easy," said Biebs on his YouTube channel, "so I dont know how 'epic' this solo was but it was worth it." So worth it!!!"I just got smoked by a kid half my...

Though the awards for this year's best cultural achievements won't be handed out until the calendar turns over, this week has built up a bunch of buzz for statuettes. The Grammy Awards announced their nominations on Wednesday night, and though there are a few strange moments on that list, it has kept everybody excited for the work of Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Beyoncé. Meanwhile, today sees the release of "Up in the Air," the new film directed by Jason Reitman ("Juno," "Thank You for Smoking") and starring George Clooney. The film — which centers around the life of a frequently-flying consultant who is brought in to lay people off — is already scoring a bunch of awards and is an early contender for a bevy of Oscars.

In order to properly prepare yourself for the funny, melancholy movie (which also stars Anna Kendrick, Jason Bateman, Danny McBride and Zach Galifianakis), we...

On Tuesday night (December 1), Sacramento, California's Arco Arena played host to the annual 107.9 The End Jingle Ball, the radio-sponsored holiday concert that officially kicked off the December holiday radio festival season. (Do you have a radio station that plays pop music in your mid-sized city? You probably have a Jingle Ball.) The show featured "American Idol" winner Kris Allen, Thanksgiving parade-approved rockers Boys Like Girls, party punkers Cobra Starship and 15-year-old singer Justin Bieber.

During Cobra Starship's set, frontman Gabe Saporta paused for a moment to address the fact that he and Bieber had been exchanging tweets about a dance-off that was meant to take place at the show. Bieber walked on stage to answer the challenge, though he was unfortunately unable to break out his funky moves because of his foot injury (he is still wearing a cast). One would think that Saporta would win the showdown by default,...

Who will score big when the nominations for the 52nd annual Grammy Awards are announced Wednesday night? People music critic Chuck Arnold predicts the frontrunners - and outside contenders - in the Big Four categories. Album of the Year There's no clear front-runner for this year's big prize, but it's always hard to bet against U2 - which is why I'm tapping No Line on the Horizon even though it was not as big as 2004's Grammy-winning How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. It's also pretty hard to deny Taylor Swift with the mega-selling Fearless and her recent sweep at the CMAs.

Who do you think will garner Grammy nominations tonight? Zap2it will have live coverage on It Happened Last Night, plus we've rounded up the best predictions from around the web.

La Times Pop & Hiss on Album of the Year:

Best Bets:

Maxwell's "BLACKsummers'night"

Taylor Swift's "Fearless"

Lady Gaga's "The Fame"

Kanye West's "808s & Heartbreak"

Green Day's "21st Century Breakdown"

Possibilities:

U2's "No Line on the Horizon"

Beyoncé's "I Am ... Sasha Fierce"

Whitney Houston's "I Look to You"

Allen Toussaint's "The Bright Mississippi"

Black Eyed Peas' "The E.N.D."

Deserving long shots:

Phoenix's "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix"

Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "It's Blitz!"

Neko Case's "Middle Cyclone"

The Decemberists' "The Hazards of Love"

Smart guesses among those who are eligible for the Kiss of Career Death Awardâ„¢ include Keri Hilson and Owl "Not The Postal Service" City.

Warning to shutterbugs: Do not ask Lindsay Lohan to say "cheese" when she's in party mode. The New York Post reports that Cobra Starship frontman Gabe Saporta had his phone confiscated by the security crew at New York nightspot Hudson Terrace earlier this week, after he dared to snap a few shots of LiLo hanging out with her brother Michael Lohan. It seems that Saporta, who was serving as deejay for the evening, stepped out of his booth to get a few  of the Just My Luck star, at which point the trouble began, according to a source: "The security team didn't care...

Most Thanksgiving traditions involve food, and the rest all involve television. There is always football on, the evening inevitably ends up centered around the worst movie you can find and the morning always starts with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Every year, there is always a heavy emphasis on music from marching bands, Broadway stars and rock groups alike, and this year's is no different. While they will probably never reach the apex they hit at last year's parade (which featured an appearance by Rick Astley, possibly the greatest Rickroll in history), there are still plenty of opportunities for music to shine on Turkey Day.

Perhaps the most notable act at event is Boys Like Girls, who will perform their new single "Two is Better Than One" during the parade. That particular tune features a guest vocal by none other than Taylor Swift, who is not scheduled to be in New York that day,...

'Tis the season for inappropriately early Christmas decorations, conspicuous consumption and, most important, holiday radio shows. The end-of-year tradition of smashing a dozen completely unrelated acts onto a stage together as a thank you to fans (and radio programmers) is about to kick off, and this season's offerings offer multiple coast-to-coast appearances by everyone from Muse to Taylor Swift, 30 Seconds to Mars, Justin Bieber and Kris Allen.

One of the season's most pop-tastic rosters is for Z100 (Whtz) in New York's annual Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden on December 11. The talent lineup includes Taylor Swift, John Mayer, Justin Bieber, the Fray, Jordin Sparks, Kris Allen, Boys Like Girls, Pitbull, Owl City, Jay Sean and Ke$ha.

'You see this cross-section of people that's pretty beautiful,' frontman Jared Leto says of 2,000 different covers for This Is War.

In keeping with the grand tradition of pretty much everything they do, 30 Seconds to Mars' upcoming This Is War album will feature — no lie — 2,000 different covers, each showing an image of a fan.

And, unbeknownst to them, Cobra Starship's Gabe Saporta too.

Confused? Well, let us get you up to speed. Back in June, as they were putting the finishing touches on War, 30Stm decided to involve their fans in the creation of the album artwork, asking them to submit pictures of themselves. The band would then select the 2,000 best images, which would be used as covers for the album itself and shipped randomly to stores around the world.

Seeing this as a relatively huge opportunity,...

Rivers Cuomo chose Cs when MTV asked which group he'd like to tour with, dead or alive.

The video was posted Friday, but Cobra Starship's Gabe Saporta didn't see it until Monday. And even though he's watched it about six dozen times since, Saporta still doesn't believe that it's real.

We're talking about an interview clip with Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, posted on MTV.com last week, in which he says that, if he could tour with any band ever, he'd pick Cobra Starship.

Seriously.

"You might be thinking that's crazy, but I really dig [them]," Cuomo says in the video. "I dig their attitude. ... They've got a very 21st-century outlook. They don't take themselves too seriously. They're there to have a party, put on a good show. That, to me, is the kind of band you want to tour with.

Already leading the nominations pack of 2009 American Music Awards with six nods, Taylor Swift continues her domination in the nominees list of the 36th Annual People's Choice Awards. This time around, the country music singer grabs three kudos in music field.

Taylor is up against her seniors Beyonce Knowles, Britney Spears, Carrie Underwood and Pink in Favorite Female Artist. Furthermore, she goes head-to-head with Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts and once again faces off Carrie in Favorite Country Artist.

Taylor also has a chance to win Favorite Pop Artist in which she is listed among such contenders as Britney, Katy Perry, Lady GaGa and Black Eyed Peas. Following her domination are Keith, Beyonce, Britney, Carrie, Eminem, Jason Mraz, Lady GaGa, Jay-z and T.I. with two kudos each.

Other nominees are two alumni of "American Idol" season 8 Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. They will compete against each other in...

The personnel of Cobra Starship appear as Cobra Cleaning Crew in "Hot Mess" music video. They raid the town, looking for hungover girls and then taking the partied-out girls to their car.

"The problem with 'Good Girls Go Bad' - and this is why it really didn't let us go to the next level - is that we didn't have matching outfits," frontman Gabe Saporta told MTV when explaining about the video shoot compared to the previous one which saw them sharing screen with Leighton Meester. "This video, we really thought about it. We said, 'Hey, we're going to have matching outfits! We're gonna take it to the next level.' We're gonna top 'Good Girls Go Bad'."

"Hot Mess" is taken from Cobra Starship's third studio album of the same name. The track is released in October and so far peaked at number 40 on New Zealand Singles chart,...

A music video to support Cobra Starship's single entitled "Hot Mess" has come out. In the footage, the rock band are seen going around "exterminating" hot messes by throwing many ladies into the back of their car. The personnel of the band are later filmed enjoying some time with lots of women inside the vehicle.

Talking about the newly-released music video, lead singer Gabe Saporta recently told MTV, "This video, we really thought about it." He further continued, "We said, 'Hey, we're going to have matching outfits! We're gonna take it to the next level. We're gonna top [our] 'Good Girls Go Bad' [music video].' "

"Hot Mess" is the lead single off Cobra Starship's third studio album "Hot Mess". Record label Fueled by Ramen has made the effort available for purchase in U.S. stores on August 11. Some other songs included in the set are "Pete Wentz is the Only Reason We're Famous,...

We would have loved to see the audition process for this one: "Are you a hot girl?" "Can you act drunk?" "Can you act drunk and still be hot at the same time?" That particular demographic is the vodka-flavored center to Cobra Starship's "Hot Mess," which extols the many virtues of inebriated women. It's a natural follow-up to the rock band's last single "Good Girls Go Bad":  Maybe it's the same actresses. It's like a sequel. The premise of the clip has the worksuited group going around "exterminating" hot messes by throwing them into the back of their vehicle like 'tang-seeking...

Hudson, DJ A-Trak say West is keeping a low profile but doing fine.

Apart from some lingering backlash from his interruption of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the Video Music Awards, a false death rumor and some quotes from Muhammad Ali posted on his blog, Kanye West's profile has been low in recent weeks. But his collaborators Mr Hudson and DJ A-Trak told British newspaper the Daily Star that West is doing fine.

In a guest blog for the newspaper, Mr Hudson said West "hasn't gone crazy or entered rehab" despite all the controversy surrounding his current public image. "I saw him a couple of weeks ago and he was keeping a low profile, which is sensible," Hudson said.

Mr Hudson, who is signed to West's record label, G.O.O.D. Music, also hinted at what fans...

'I promised Gabe if 'Good Girls Go Bad' went platinum, I would let him pick a tattoo to put on me,' Wentz says of the Cobra Starship frontman.

Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz isn't just a friend to Cobra Starship frontman Gabe Saporta — he's also his label boss and friendly rival. As a result, the two have been maintaining a prank war for the past few months, culminating in a recent victory for Saporta.

Paying up on a bet he made a few months ago, Wentz got a new tattoo on his leg — a tattoo of Saporta's face.

"Well, I promised Gabe if 'Good Girls Go Bad' went platinum, I would let him pick a tattoo to put on me," Wentz said in a statement. "A man with such humble beginnings, of course, chose a self-portrait.

We already know that the members of Cobra Starship are down with party buses, but yesterday the group got a bit of a rock and roll upgrade. In order to get to a show at Indiana University, the band took its first ever trip on a private jet. Frontman Gabe Saporta narrated the experience via his Twitter and included a handful of photos from the trip.

"A Cobra first! Private jet motherf---ers!" Saporta tweeted last night. "We're on our way to play a free show w/Girl Talk @ Indiana University." That show, a charity event to benefit a local shelter for battered women and sponsored by Victoria's Secret, goes down tonight on the school's campus. Indiana competed against five other institutions during the summer to win a visit from Cobra Starship and mashup DJ Girl Talk.

In the meantime, Saporta was excited about the jet. He posted a total of three photos of the plane,...

Ready for a hot mess? Hopefully so, because we've got one for you! Cobra Starship—of "Good Girls Go Bad" fame—recently filmed the video for the song "Hot Mess," which will serve as the theme song for MTV's upcoming reality series Styl'd. The video will debut on the November 8 premiere of the show, which will follow aspiring fashionistas as they vie for a coveted stylist contract. In the meantime, check out our photo gallery from the video shoot. After that, head over to Buzznet for more exclusive pics of Gabe Saporta and crew making a hot mess of themselves.

"My number never got out, but here's the catch: that shirt was professionally printed at some T-shirt place, and of course, someone at the T-shirt factory leaked an image of my shirt on the Internet. So I would get, like, 20 calls a day, kids pranking me, singing me songs, whatever. I thought it was funny for a while, and I thought that if I neither confirmed nor denied it, it would go eventually away. Guess what? I was wrong. I was dead wrong."

-Cobra Starship frontman Gabe Saporta, on the fallout of Pete Wentz printing his phone number on a T-shirt and wearing it to the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Saporta got so many calls that he had to change his phone number. "I canceled my old phone number, got a new number, and I made sure that my new phone number has '666' in it, that way...

Last month at the MTV Video Music Awards, Pete Wentz decided to play a joke on his pal Cobra Starship frontman Gabe Saporta by revealing his phone number live on the show.

Luckily for Saporta, MTV producers intervened, and Wentz was never able to complete the prank. Unluckily for him, things didn't end there: Saporta's phone number still got out, but Wentz had nothing to do with it (a vindictive T-shirt printer did).

"So basically this year for the VMAs, MTV was very nice to allow me and Pete to present an award together. Little did I know that Pete had a little practical [joke] planned,...

Already claiming fame with his band Jonas Brothers, Nick Jonas is rumored to develop a solo career by making a his own record. Bringing the news to public was E! Online's executive news editor Ken Barker.

"A source tells me: Nick Jonas secretly working on solo album," Ken wrote on his Twitter. In addition, he suggested that the youngest member of the Jonas band may tour without his two brothers, Joe Jonas and Kevin Jonas, in 2010.

Along with the Jonas Brothers, Nick actually has kicked a world tour last May to support the band's latest studio installment "Lines, Vines and Trying Times". He will stay on the road with them for a series of live concerts until November 24. Beside touring, he is also busy filming TV movie "Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam" in Toronto, Canada.

Most recently, Nick Jonas was handed Fashionista Award at 2009 Los Premios MTV Awards on...

Los Angeles — Wisin y Yandel scored big at Los Premios MTV on Thursday night in Los Angeles, taking home two of the night's big awards, which they generously shared with their pal 50 Cent.

The reggaeton duo led the awards show with six nominations and ultimately walked away with Video of the Year for "Abusadora" and Artist of the Year. They thanked 50 for both awards and even dedicated the latter to him for his unwavering support of their breakthrough LP, La Revolución. Wisin y Yandel also took the stage with the hip-hop giant to perform their collaboration "Mujeres in the Club" before busting out their mega-hit "Abusadora."

The last time MTV News caught up with Allison Iraheta, the 17-year-old rocker was still on tour with her fellow "American Idol" artists, a little bit exhausted but plowing ahead with work on her debut album. With a couple months of performing and recording behind her, Iraheta has a clearer vision of what that debut will look like, and she can explain where "Friday I'll Be Over U," the poppy track that leaked last week, fits into all of that.

"That song, the first time I heard it, I loved it," she explained to EW.com. "And I was thinking, yeah, it might have a little bit of the pop sound to it, but I don't mind that at all. I can definitely do harder than this,...

Though Cobra Starship's "Good Girls Go Bad" went platinum and earned the band a pair of MTV Video Music Awards noms, it was far from perfect. In fact, there were some fairly serious problems with the song (and the accompanying video) — problems Gabe Saporta and company decided to iron out with their new video for "Hot Mess."

"The problem with 'Good Girls Go Bad' — and this is why it really didn't let us go to the next level — is that we didn't have matching outfits," Saporta laughed. "This video, we really thought about it. We said, 'Hey, we're going to have matching outfits! We're gonna take it to the next level. We're gonna top "Good Girls Go Bad.

Club Bardot was on fire last night as it brought in some of the biggest stars in Hollywood. American Idol star Adam Lambert took some time off from recording his new album and hit the party celebrating Star magazine’s 5th Anniversary party. At the bash Adam was sitting in the corner of the dance floor, holding hands with his boyfriend and laughing with friends. Later on he was spotted checking out Cobra Starship’s performance. Although it was a rainy night out in Hollywood that didn’t stop other stars from showing up to this Hollyscoop certified Hotspot. Brody...

When it came time for Cobra Starship to shoot the follow-up to their breakthrough "Good Girls Go Bad" video, they didn't want to mess with the formula for success. So they brought in the same director, shot in the same city and imported the same hot babes. The only difference this time around was the facial hair.

"The treatment doesn't matter ... all that matters is Kai Regan is directing the video. He sent me a couple of treatments, I didn't read 'em," Cobra frontman Gabe Saporta laughed. "All I know is that he made our last video and it was the best video we ever made. We got nominated for two VMAs, so this video is going to be as awesome,...

Leighton Meester is making a collaboration with Robin Thicke for her upcoming debut album. It is the small screen actress herself who makes the confirmation, sharing the news with Just Jared during HBO's post Emmy Awards reception held at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood on Sunday, September 20.

Other than confirming that the collaborative song will serve as the first single off her upcoming record, Leighton didn't spill further detail about the project. Possible title and release date for her studio album also were not disclosed.

Leighton Meester earned her fame in Hollywood as an actress. Her most known role is that as Blair Waldorf in CW's series "Gossip Girl". In late April this year, it was confirmed that she signed a recoding deal with Universal Republic Records.

From that point on talks have been brewing that she is hard at work on releasing an album. She, moreover, has...

EW.com is departing from the traditional Gossip Girl TV recap for now and in its place are the five things you need to know from each night's episode. Let's get the ball rolling because last night, Georgina returned and where G goes, crazy is sure to follow: 1. Blair lives in the Nyu dorms - As we learned last season, Georgina asked to room with Blair. More shocking than that is the fact that Blair chose the Nyu dorms, with its communal bathrooms and fluorescent lighting, as Chuck points out, over a sweet pad in the West Village. Her decision backfires when the Nyu students don't buy her "Queen Bee" act and ditch her sushi and saketini party for a Georgina-orchestrated viewing of Vanessa's documentary about a local community garden (because Vanessa would make a documentary about that). As Georgina so wonderfully puts it, they like Vanessa "more than the...
