Mamma Mia! The Movie, like so many other films of its (low) caliber, boasts both an excellent cast and a hefty box office return. So, of course, a sequel is in the works.

Katy Perry has been busy lately, but her work has predominately taken place off-stage. After campaigning vehemently for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election, she has donated to Planned Parenthood, produced and bankrolled a pro-Muslim PSA, and participated in the Women’s March on Washington. But on…

Being forced to work under the producer/label boss she accused of abusing her sexually and emotionally has had dire consequences on Kesha’s creative output, according to a new countersuit filed by Kesha’s lawyers. Last year, Kesha’s request for a release from Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records was repeatedly denied by judges.

In a Billboard cover story tribute/retrospective of George Michael’s career, the singer’s former manager Rob Kahane reveals that Michael’s death on Christmas day came as a surprise after the recent contact he’d had with the pop star:

Perhaps it’s Chainsmokers fatigue, or the fact that I still don’t know what Twenty One Pilots sounds like even after hearing their music multiple times, but in retrospect 2016 was an exceptionally disappointing year for pop megahits. Granted, I can barely remember anything that happened before November 9, but if we…

On this Election Eve, Hillary Clinton will hold two rallies: a final rally in Philadelphia, and a final final Get Out The Vote rally in Raleigh, North Carolina. Lady Gaga will take the stage at the latter event.

Get it, Gaga. The superstar’s fourth album, Joanne, has reached the top spot on the Billboard 200, making it—that’s right—her fourth number one album.

Take a little time today to enjoy the view and, also, the gaudy outfits in this Bruno Mars video, “24K.”

Earlier this month when Lady Gaga released “Perfect Illusion,” a scream-pop explosion that edges on rock, my immediate reaction was a physical cringe. Produced by Mark Ronson, BloodPop (Justin Bieber’s “Sorry”) and Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, it’s the first single from her next album Joanne. While Gaga is known to…

While the “Final Five” Yurchenko’s their way to a goddamn gold medal in Rio, former gymnast McKayala Maroney is making a play for our hearts via a new career move: Pop music.

“I sound like a fuckin’ douche,” Shura interrupted herself more than once to blurt out over the course of our interview, unwilling to allow either of us to take this thing too seriously.

Justin Bieber is a happy man. But like any human being, he’s also sad sometimes. Nowhere is this more evident than in his new video for “Company.”

Mind of Mine, the debut solo album from exiled One Direction member Zayn Malik, is sonically a bit like easing oneself into a lukewarm bath. In an epoch in which The Weeknd’s poppier work is considered musical genius, there’s certainly a public demand for tepidity—flatlined choruses that substitute vehemence for…

Like people in other professions, actors weren’t always actors. Many hoped to be discovered while working in the food industry. Some were once educators. Others were just typical office workers who decided it was their time to become a star. But a special few tried their hand at a different kind of celebrity before…

Just two minutes into Charli XCX’s documentary about feminism in pop, The F Word And Me, Charli is seen doing press before her set at the Glastonbury Festival in London. After a female reporter asks her which essential item she’d bring to a festival (“Vodka,” says Charli), it cuts to an off-camera male interviewer…

In a recent interview with The Guardian, Ryan Adams, pop musician and Taylor Swift cover artist, compared the blonde-mopped scribe of hits such as “Bad Blood” and “Our Song” to Shakespeare himself. This is sweet of him, and his comparison feels hyperbolic yet utterly genuine; he goes on to emphasize how much her music…

In a recently published excerpt of Grace Jones’ upcoming memoir (cheekily titled I’ll Never Write My Memoirs), the legendary musician shares her criticisms of today’s current pop stars, asserting that many of them attempt to claim originality and subversiveness, while really only copying her style and playing it safe.

Hailee Steinfeld, “that child actor,” is working on a side hustle as a pop star; you may be surprised to know that her debut single, entitled “Love Myself,” is a jubilant paean to humanity’s favorite activity, masturbation.
