Following a solid performance on Letterman last night, Lana Del Rey was spotted riding the subway in New York City today. Looking far more like Lizzy Grant than her British Vogue -covering alter ego , the Born To Die singer was dressed in denim, flats, a Formula 1 racing jacket and a backwards cap. Was the rising indie star perhaps off to her steady babysitting gig ?

Well, there is at least one person who is serving up something besides all his luvin to the Queen of Pop. That would be “Girls Gone Wild” creator Joe Francis, who slapped Madonna a cease and desist letter regarding her upcoming MDNA track “Girls Gone Wild.” The letter demands that the crucifix-affixed diva negotiate a licensing agreement for his “trademark” of the brand “girls gone wild” and threatens her with a lawsuit if she performs the track at the Super Bowl. Find out more below. According to TMZ, the letter was sent to Madonna and her “co-conspirators,” NBC and the NFL, and they demand an answer by 5 PM today. Francis’ lawyer writes: “Your misappropriation of my clients’ trademark will not be tolerated.” We find this pretty ridiculous — “girls gone wild” is a commonly used phrase these days, and does classy Mr
In the upcoming Glee episode “The Spanish Teacher”, Mr. Schuester — himself, a Spanish teacher, unless you forgot he did anything else at McKinley besides get way too involved in his students’ personal lives — feels threatened by the new foreign language teacher played by Ricky Martin . And those feelings of inferiority are completely warranted, as Ricky gives us some much needed sizzle in his choir room cover of LMFAO’s “Sexy And I Know It” . The dancing is top notch, and there’s even a cameo by a faux-Shufflebot! Watch below
Left hand yellow, right hand wrapping a python around your neck, mouth making out with Madonna? Britney Spears often looks uncomfortable while dancing these days, which makes her the perfect candidate for a revamp of the classic contortionist-friendly game Twister. Hasbro has announced a new dance edition of the old pretzel-making favorite, which Brit-Brit says she rediscovered in recent years thanks to her boys. It will feature a special remix of “Till The World Ends,” and the #willpower contributor will also appear in promotional materials.
Melanie Amaro first earned “ respect ” when she was crowned the first winner of The X Factor (which, don’t know if you’ve heard, is going through some growing pains at the moment). After signing a $5 million contract with Epic Records , Melanie has also landed a starring role in a Pepsi Super Bowl commercial. In it, Sir Elton John plays a tyrannical king who doesn’t let his people drink Pepsi. Melanie saves the day by belting out Aretha Franklin’s classic, and blows Elton down to the chamber below, releasing Pepsi for all! Watch it after the jump.
We’ve been racking our brains trying to decipher the title of Wiz Khalifa’s upcoming album O.N.I.F.C ., and whatever terrible meaning we came up with ( Outrageous Names Inspire Fabulous Choices ? Only Nougat In Fun-size Crunch bars? ) was nowhere near what the acronym actually stands for. “It’s the Only N-Word in First Class ,” Wiz explained during his appearance on “Sway in the Morning” on Shade 45
Back when Katy Perry posted a photo of herself in mermaid garb planking as a mermaid , we had no idea what was going on. Was the pop star following in Lady Gaga’s flippers and jumping on the mer-person trend for a new video? Turns out the planking pic was taken on set of a David LaChapelle photo shoot for ghd’s Air hairdryer — because a mermaid, whose hair is constantly wet, is in most need of a blow-dry, right? “It’s as if Lisa Frank had done The Little Mermaid ,” described Katy.
Is Lady Gaga trying to steal Madonna’s Super Bowl thunder ? Provocative photographer Terry Richardson released several black and white shots of the upcoming Grammy performer displaying her cleavage in several creative ways, including holding a football in front of her bare chest. ( Lady Gaga sure loves to be nude when there are photographers around!) We wonder if Madge would dismiss these pics as “reductive” . Check out Gaga and Terry’s latest offering and tell us below, or on Facebook and Twitter , how does it compare to the duo’s photography book
We are sure the young woman in this video isn’t the only person to ever practice getting down with Drake in a mirror, but she may just be the most bootylicious. In Drake’s low-budget, posterior-heavy, super classy video for Take Care track “Practice,” we observe a private dancer “practicing” some risque moves before, at the very end, the NHL performer himself sneaks in and surprises her, and uh… then we tactfully fade out as Drake and the lady practice something else entirely. Did we mention that, unless you work in a strip club, this video is NSFW?
In addition to given us all her luvin’ , Madonna has also shared the full 15-song MDNA track list. This should hold us over until her 12th studio album debuts on March 26. So far, we’ve only had the chance to hear Madge’s single and her Golden Globe–winning “Masterpiece” (also included on the album), but we’re sure the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime performer would tell us it’s well worth the wait. Catch the track list and a 2:17 megamix, which includes new samplings of “Girls Gone Wild” and “Turn Up The Radio” below.
