I'll admit it: when I hear the phrase "boy band," I'm one of those people who cringes. But I recently chatted with Big Time Rush member James Maslow, and he changed my mind a little bit.

BTR (consisting of Maslow, Kendall Schmidt, Carlos Pena, Jr. and Logan Henderson) is a boy band that was born out of the Nickelodeon TV series of the same name. In concept, their origin is reminiscent of The Monkees. Since 2009, the foursome have been acting in the half-hour musical/comedy series as well as releasing two albums. They'll be touring across the country this summer.

The group's origins migh...

Soul sensation Adele has named Beyonce as her dream collaborator.

A host of chart-topping acts, including Nicki Minaj and Kelly Clarkson, have name checked Adele as their ideal duet partner, but the multiple Grammy winner insists the only singer she wants to record with is Beyonce.

She tells French radio station NRJ, "I adore Beyonce. I've been listening to her since I was about 11. I think her work as an artist and a singer is enviable in terms of the length of her career and how she's grown and grown but most of my inspirations are old music and sadly they have all died."

Justin Bieber and Michael Buble were the toast of their native Canada on Sunday night as they led the country's Juno Awards.

The teenage pop star was unable to attend the ceremony in Ottawa, hosted by Star Trek legend William Shatner, so in a pre-taped video message he thanked devotees for voting for him in the Fan Choice Award category.

He told the audience, "As we all know, I have the best fans in the world... this is for you."

Canadian crooner Buble was also a winner at the show, picking up the Album Of The Year trophy for his holiday record, Christmas, seeing off competition from ...

Up-and-comer Lana Del Rey appears to be making the right friends in the music industry. She and Katy Perry attended Germany's annual Echo Awards on Thursday and they looked rather chummy on the red carpet.

Despite their different musical styles, the two seemed to hit it off.

Katy looked futuristic in a pink geometric patterned metallic dress, while Lana was sophisticated in a long, satin silver strapless gown.

Adele was named best international female performer, and Bruno Mars won the Best International Male award.

Bruce Springsteen has landed his 10th number one album in the U.S. after ending Adele's run at the top of the charts.

The rocker's "Wrecking Ball" only just beat the British singer's "21" to the top of the Billboard 200 countdown - sales for the two albums were close for much of the past week, but Springsteen's new release edged ahead of Adele's just in time for Wednesday's official chart announcement.

Springsteen's album sold 196,000 copies in its first week - just one thousand more than Adele's.

The rocker now ties Elvis Presley for the third-most number ones in history. Only the Beatl...

Taylor Swift was the top musical money maker in 2011, according to Billboard.com.

The country star's estimated $35.7 million haul from her "Speak Now Tour" profits, album sales and digital successes, gave her the edge over U2 and fellow country star Kenny Chesney on the new rich list.

The year's second-highest selling album, Whitney Houston's "Whitney: The Greatest Hits", stands firm at two, while Kid Cudi's alternative rock collaboration "WZRD" debuts its self-titled album at three.

Kelly Clarkson has returned to the top of the U.S. pop charts a week after she was dethroned by Katy Perry.

Perry became only the 20th act to debut at number one when her "Part of Me" crashed in at the top, but now she swaps places with Clarkson and falls to four as the "American Idol" star reclaims the peak position on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)."

Soul sensation Adele has been offered $1.6 million to become the face of a dating website.

The curvy Rolling in the Deep hit-maker made her name singing heartbreak songs and last year admitted she had signed up to eHarmony after failing to find love.

Adele is currently in a relationship with charity boss Simon Konecki, but chiefs at The Big and the Beautiful website have reached out to the Brit to front their company.

A representative for the site tells Life & Style, "A letter has been sent to her agent and an offer is on the table."

Adele has beaten Whitney Houston's U.S. album chart record by becoming the first female artist to land 21 weeks at number one with her hit album "21".

The singer managed the feat on Wednesday - over a year after the album first hit the top spot.

The Brit breaks Houston's record for The Bodyguard soundtrack just 11 days after the "I Will Always Love You" singer died in a Los Angeles hotel suite on the eve of the Grammy Awards, where Adele scooped six honors, including Album of the Year for "21".

It's also a great week on the singles chart for the soul sensation - her three former number o...

They aren't on the same scale as the Grammy Awards, but the Brit Awards are very important to those on the other side of the pond. Several U.S. stars attended the event in London yesterday to hobnob with their British counterparts.

Rihanna, who just released two controversial songs with her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, wore a low-cut sparkling dress accessorized with long gloves.

Former "X Factor" judge Nicole Scherzinger opted for a pretty pale yellow strapless gown. And Florence Welch picked a dress that eerily matched her skin tone.

The singer, who scooped six Grammys earlier this month, continued her incredible run of success by also fighting off competition from Florence and the Machine, Jessie J, Kate Bush and Laura Marling to be named best British Female Solo Artist.

When you look at someone who succeeds in a certain field, there are always numerous factors on why that person’s particular talent is above the rest and he or she seems to always excel.

They do it for the art of their field. Not that sports and music goes hand in hand because they don’t, it’s just those particular athletes love their arena. And becaus...

Adele's estranged father is "devastated" after the soul superstar declared she would "spit in his face" if she ever saw him again.

The Grammy-winning singer's dad Mark Evans split from Adele's mother Penny when she was just three years old and the star has had little contact with him over the last decade.

Plumber Evans sold his side of the story to a British tabloid last year, but the candid chat left Adele fuming and she is adamant any chance of a reunion has now been dashed for good.

She recently told Vogue magazine, "I was actually ready to start trying to have a relationship with him...

Adele has no intention of ever reconciling with her estranged father, insisting she'd "spit in his face" if she ever saw him again.

The Grammy-winning singer's dad Mark Evans split from Adele's mother Penny when she was just three years old, and the star has had little contact with him in the last decade.

Plumber Evans sold his side of the story to British tabloid The Sun last year, opening up about his fractured relationship with his famous daughter and questioning whether her struggles with men relate to his absence during her childhood.

But the candid chat left Adele fuming and she is...

Adele has launched legal action against a French magazine over false claims of a sex tape featuring the star, insisting the allegation is "untrue and grossly defamatory."

In a statement issued to the MailOnline, Adele's lawyer says, "We are informed that the French magazine Pub...

Adele's Grammy hype has helped the singer score another big week on the U.S. album chart - keeping reunited rockers Van Halen off the top.

Van Halen's long-awaited comeback "A Different Kind of Truth" was expected to end Adele's 19-week reign at number one on the Billboard 200 - but the Brit's "21" has scored a 20th week at the top thanks to a Grammy-related sales surge.

Adele made a stunning live comeback after throat surgery in 2011 at the Grammys on Sunday and took home six awards, including Album of the Year.

And partly thanks to the buzz, her 21 sold a stunning 237,000 in the U.S. l...

A day after her comments made a buzz online, singer Adele says she is not taking five years off - and she's already back in the studio!

"I've a few days off now, and then it's the Brit Awards here at home and then I'm straight into the studio. BOYYAHH! 5 years? More like 5 days!" Adele wrote on her blog on a post mostly thanking everyone for their Grammy support.

The other day a Vogue article was released in which the Grammy winner claimed she was going to take half a decade off to concentrate on her personal life. "I am f***ing off for four or five years. If I am constantly working, my r...

Adele is following up her huge Grammy haul with a stunning announcement: She claims she's going to take five years off before recording another album.

After becoming only the sixth act in Grammy history to sweep the top three awards, she told Vogue "I am f***ing off for four or five years. If I am constantly working, my relationships fail."

The singer is referring to her boyfriend Simon Konecki, although their relationship is still new. She continues, "So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy. And then I don't know what I'll do. Get marri...

Adele tied three major records at the Grammy Awards on Sunday after taking home six top trophies.

She became only the sixth act in history to sweep the top three awards - Record, Song and Album of the Year - and only the second artist to win all of Grammy's four highest honors over time, thanks to her Best New Artist prize in 2009, according to GoldDerby.com. The other was Christopher Cross.
