Bree!

Guys, don't get too upset about this, but Lady Gaga is taking a month off. According to German gossip site Bild, the singer is showing warning signs of burn out. Oh really? Yes, really...

I'm mad jealous of the Bamboozle attendees who get to witness the glory that is No Doubt this coming weekend. But following the Borgata show and Bamboozle comes their big deal tour with Paramore, which means the band begins to write new No Doubt songs! At last! More details...

Fresh off a sweet vay-cay with Rihanna (and Kelly Clarkson, apparently!), pop darling Katy Perry is reportedly back with Gym Class Travis after being on the outs since December. Reunited and it feels so good...

Listen, Twilight fans, sometimes you just go a little too far. Jackson Rathbone, who plays hot (dare I say hotter than Rpattz?!) bloodsucker Jasper Hale in the movie, will not autograph your face. Or, maybe he will, but he'll be slightly uncomfortable about it. Read more...

Alright, since last week I lapsed into a deep slumber about 10 minutes before GG came on, I had to play catch up this week. Here's a recap from Cinemablend if you need deets... if not, let's go straight to some discussion points, shall we? Gossip, gossip, gossip...

At long last, we have a tentative date for Pmore's Riot! follow-up, according to MTV news. There's no title decided yet, but the band has a few more days in the studio and then they get to chill at home until the No Doubt tour. Hayley Williams blogged about the beginning of the press-frenzy over the new material, but offered some of her own insight on the band's LJ. Read more...

A week ago, Green Day announced the dates and cities for the summer tour they're embarking on to support 21st Century Breakdown. But now there are venues listed! Go check 'em...

On Sunday, April 26, Jared Leto and his crew held a "Summit" in Hollywood, California to involve their breed of super dedicated fans in their follow up to 2005's A Beautiful Lie. Drawing over 1,000 fans from here in the U.S. AND Europe, MTV news reported that it resulted in "a legitimate experiment in recording and crowd-control, with 30STM using the audience as a musical instrument." Must... read... more...

Some bad ish went down this weekend while the Bamboozle Roadshow (We The Kings, The Cab, Mercy Mercedes, Valencia and Forever The Sickest Kids) was at the Theater of Living Arts in Philadelphia. The despicable details...

Pop princess in traning, Demi Lovato, was hangin' around the Radio Disney station recently and did some chatting about her new album, new tour and the people she was stoked to work with. Listen to me now...

Attention to the two thousand some kids who are following Hayleyparamore on Twitter—it isn't legit. The spunky Ms. Williams posted on the bands official LiveJournal this morning that it was an imposter and she couldn't believe you all would think she would refer to somebody as "hun." Read more...

Last night Fall Out Boy posted some behind-the-scenes footage of the Believers Never Die Part Deux tour on friendsorenemies. Do you have to be enticed to watch it? Maybe this will help: Cuteness ahead...

The time is nearing for No Doubt to hit the road with Paramore and The Sounds in tow. But before they round up their family circus and perform for all your smiling faces, they need a favor. And awesome, awesome favor. You want somma this?

The Sounds, Sweden's dance-rock group who are touring with Paramore and No Doubt this summer, are putting out an album on June 2nd. Crossing The Rubicon promises 12 tracks of high energy and deeper meaning. Would you perhaps like a free download?

Those dreamy siblings have unleashed upon the internets the cover of their upcoming album, Lines Vines and Trying Times.

OMG so excited!

Who: Pete Wentz, Joel Madden, Kristen Bell, Kirsten Dunst and THOUSANDS of other people. Maybe you?

What: Participants are to ‘abduct themselves for the abducted.’  Tens of thousands of people will travel by foot to a location in each city that will become their “LRA base,” where they will refuse to leave until a politician, mogul or local celebrity ‘RESCUES’ them by making a public statement on behalf of the child soldiers.

Where: Globally, y'all. To find out if your city is participating, go to therescue.invisiblechildren.com, select your country, then your state, and see if your city is there. More details...

Explain yourself.

1. You made part of your lips go away

2. You're carrying an umbrella/parasol but not using it for cover... or for weather purposes.

3. The photo agency says you're going to your friend Mika's house... dare I ask what's going on there? These are not what I consider "casual hang time" clothes, but maybe you don't have any of those.

Like a failure of a TV-watcher that I am, I snoozed through Gossip Girl last night. Fret not, I will catch it on the www ASAP. What I have been paying attention to is news on the GG spin-off. Oh what?

In support of 21st Century Breakdown, which drops 5/15, Green Day are going on tour. The cities have been announced, but venues are still to be determined. Are they coming close to you? Check it...

Oh hey, remember the Chris Brown / Rihanna incident? The one where Brown beat Rihanna? And about a week ago, entered a not guilty plea? Right. Let's talk about that, shall we?

Things you should know:

1. I don’t really go see movies in theaters because I can’t commit to sitting  in one place for 2+ hours and not multitasking.

2. This is how I watch movies at home when not confined by the social restrictions of other watchers: I put it in my DVD player. I clean my room. I watch the opening scene. I get a snack. I watch some more. Something in the movie reminds me of something I wanted to look up on Wikipedia, so I pause it and end up wiki-surfing for like 10 minutes. I watch some more. I twitter about it. I refill my water bottle. I decide to do some crunches. I watch some more. I flip through Nylon. I watch some more. I check my Buzznet. I watch the rest. It’s kind of rare that I ever watch a movie in one sitting, unless its super suspenseful.

But it had been a hard week when Jen came to me and said, “Want to see Zac Efron’s new movie tonight?”

Absolutely.

You can pretty much guess the premise from the title, eh? So let me get down to business. This movie will not change your life. This movie is heart-warming—dare I say you might even tear up if you are in a wavering state-of-mind! Zac Efron is incredibly charming and I’d be willing to overlook our age gap and like, date a bit if he wasn’t prettier than me. And I don’t mean charming in that RPattz “he may not shower and he may sell your liver on the black market but making out would be HOT” kind of way; Zeffy dazzles IRL. He doesn’t even TRY.

Anyway. The dialogue is super cornball, Harriet the Spy’s character makes for some awkward moments and if predictability peeves you, this ain’t your flick. But there are some genuine laugh out loud (dude, it felt so weird typing that out) moments and a few of the interactions with Thomas Lennon’s character are hysterical.

So if you’re looking for something a little sweet, something that will give the warm fuzzies and leave you with a good feeling, go see 17 Again.

Ah, but for the record, I personally would not do 17 over again.

Katy Perry done got censored in Saudi Arabia. But 'twas not a simple bleep or a black bar, though--this took much more effort. Keep your clothes on...

So much going on in the Twitterverse this week. The erosion of our moral compasses, the Simpson family (not the yellow cartoons, btw) joining, and Ashton Kutcher racing Britneybot and CNN to a million followers. Let me catch you up...

A lot of celebs have it out with tabloids over things like affairs, quotes taken out of context and their baby being a two-headed alien (I made all that up. I do not know what celebs have sued tabloids over, despite having googled the phrase "celebs sue over"), but when was the last time a starlet went to blows over false weight loss claims?

Ladies and Gentlemen, ScarJo. Read more...

So yesterday I took a break from playing Brithey's "Mmm Papi" for the 80th time and gave a listen to Ashley Tisdale's new breakup track, "It's Alright, It's Okay." It totally reminded me of Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" and that's what she was definitely going for. Listen to a clip of her interview with Radio Disney... Read more...

The short version of last night's episode: a genetically altered combo-animal (omg monster!) gets loose when an animal rights group liberates them from a Swift Lab. It kills those kids, then takes a stroll through the sewage system, coming up only to feed and to IMPREGNATE humans with its larvae babies. Ew.Read more...

Do you ever think to yourself, "Buzznet, you sure don't post enough Green Day news anymore," fret not, because I'm thinking of you today, my friends.

In anticipation for their "Know Your Enemy" music video, which will premiere on MTV April 24th, the band has released a short little behind-the-scenes thingamajig. Watch it...

Mark your calendars for musical merriment, because on June 23rd Regina Spektor is releasing "Far" on Sire Records.

According to AngryApe, there's no tracklist yet, but we do know that the first single will be "Laughing With" and the whole album will have 13 songs.

I am completely in love with her songwriting, so I'm excited for this. Anyone else?

Mark Hoppus' twitter updates make my freakin' day. Today was no exception. Shenanigans...

Shiny happy High School Musical star Zac Efron is being a little more selective about his roles lately--he turned down a remake of Footloose as not to be stuck with musicals for the rest of his young life. Next week the Disney hearthrob's teen comedy 17 Again hits theatres, and reportedly he's hoping to sink his shockingly white teeth into some action-adventure films. Read more...

Since there's so much hype about the coming of Where The Wild Things Are to the big screen, I thought this week we could talk about our favorite Childrens books. You down?

Since our boy Pete Wentz often spurs conversation around these parts, let's start with the book that also serves as a title for his moody short film that everyone mistook for a sex tape at first: Goodnight Moon. Read more...

I can't confine the best tweets to just one person a week. I just can't. So I'm gonna post my favorites from your favorite twitterers.

First, Adam Siska from The Academy Is...has boarded the Twitter-wagon. Mostly because he wants to be followed by Shaq.Oh Twitter, how we love thee. Read more...

Fringe returned to Fox last night, after an excruciating hiatus. Unfortch, the comeback episode had little to do with the previous episode, "Ability."Read more...

Popsugar is doing this march (uh, April?) madness thingee for celebs and I had some fun making my picks this morning. You have to login to to do it, but I wanted to show you some of the current results... in case you felt the need to contribute:

WHEW. I would have no faith in humanity if Heidi even hit the double digits.

Who are the 2% who even voted for Spencer Pratt? Maybe Angelina Jolie. And all her children.

Uh, guys? Scientology and the capture of Katie Holmes. We have to do something about this.

NECK IN NECK!

Things that happened:

I shook the hands of Patrick Stump and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz

I became totally obsessed with Sing It Loud's song "Come Around" after hearing it live.

I fangirled Andy Hurley. By that I mean I asked him to take a picture with me. Keep goin'...

Tonight marks the return of MTV's "reality" show, The Hills. It's season 5, and the drama is as fresh as ever. I mean, I think it is. I stopped watching somewhere around the era of excessive neck bling for Spencer Pratt and Brody Jenner. More, whether you like it or not...

Good Charlotte just celebrated their 13th anniversary as a band and are in the process of putting together their 5th studio album. The Madden brothers are in a band, remember?

Cardiology, according to MTV News, is tentatively set for a summer release. They have 40 songs to sift through, two of their favorites being "Sex on the Radio," and "Love Ain't Easy." More Good Charlotte, plz...

Not to dissapoint you, my adorable little worms, but I did not finish a book this week. But I don't want to leave you without any inspiration, so I'll tell you what's on my nightstand and getting some wear-and-tear from being my carry-everywhere read. Does that work? Onward!

It’s going to be years before you can escape Kristen Stewart. The success of the first Twilight movie secured playing dejected vampire-lover Bella Swan something the actress will be doing for sequels to come—three, to be exact.

She isn’t completely confined to being a fang-banger (man, when is True Blood coming back on?), though. In Adventureland, a teen comedy just hitting theaters, she plays Em Lewin, an awkward, self-loathing amusement park employee. (Watch a clip here).

But perhaps the most daunting role Stewart has in front of her is that of a 15-year-old rock and roller Joan Jett for the upcoming biopic, Runaways.

How well she can pull it off depends largely on how close she feels to a modern version of Joan Jett, one would guess. Acting chops? Irrelevant. In the March 2009 issue of Nylon, K-Stew spoke about choosing roles:

“I’ve only played characters that are like…me. I’ve never played a character that was any different from what I would do in a situation. I’ve always been completely…honest  and—blegh—right there.”

Not to be all judgy-judger, but if she chooses characters who are so much like her, how is that even acting?

Granted, there’s Vince Vaughn and the entire Judd Apatow crew (Knocked Up, Pineapple Express, I Love You, Man) who basically play themselves in every movie—but they’re funny. N'ah mean?

Maybe K-Stew’s talent is yet to be realized. I’m just sayin’ in a couple years, she’s going to have to go head-to-head with that little freaky-leaky coming-of-age prodigy Dakota Fanning. And I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to be on her sh*tlist. I feel like she’d show up in the middle of the night and shave your head—or beat the bejesus out of voo-doo you while she smiles and hums Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9.

Anyway, I digress. Do you think K-Stew should take on a more challenging role, or just keep playing versions of “herself”? Will she able to bring some life to the Joan Jett biopic? Is it an insult to those who actually practice the craft of acting, or is that really in the hands of casting directors?

I’d personally like to see her play an overzealous cheerleader. I think that’d be a stretch.

Did you think a little thing like incarceration was going to stop ex-Escape The Fate frontman Ronnie Radke from making music? If you did, you were wrong.

Radke's new band, aptly named From Behind These Walls, have released their first single on iTunes. Read more...

Not to completely rip off Absolutepunk (who did an awesome feature about "scene" twitterers worth following, btw), but so much of my life lately consists of watching Pete Wentz and Mark Hoppus talk to each other on Twitter all day. Read more...
