Tweens Fool Twitter To Keep Justin Bieber On Top
3:28AM Brian Moylan | Twitter changed the algorithm that determines which topics on the site are “trending”, a move that knocked perennial favourites like Justin Bieber off the list. But America’s littlest hackers are so obsessed with the mop-topped rocker they’ve already defeated it. More »

These People Really Need To Get Stoned
6:40AM Brian Moylan | It’s still April 20 in the States. Because the stoner lexicon refers to reefer as “420″, the date’s become synonymous with celebrating the high life. Instead of posting a list of stars who already smoke up, here are a bunch of people who should. More »
Camilla Belle Devises The Ultimate Way To Impress Joe Jonas
6:25AM Kyle Buchanan | When you’re an actress dating a famously purity-ring-clad pop singer, how can you out-chastity him? If you’re Camilla Belle, and your beau is Joe Jonas (of the Jonas Brothers, squeeeee!!!!), you go to great lengths. More »

8:14AM Seth | Pictured on a Disney premiere red carpet is fraternal showbiz sensation the Emanuel Brothers—Ari (the sexy brooding one, and the brains of the operation), Rahm (the cute, vocal one), and Zeke (the goofier-looking older one who you’d still totally be thrilled to settle for)—sending their throngs of young admirers into screaming fits and fainting spells.

5 Suggestions For Improving the Generally Hideous ‘Jonas Brothers Concert Movie’ Poster
6:00AM STV | The recently released poster for the Jonas Brothers’ upcoming concert movie — otherwise referred to as The Jonas Brothers Concert Movie — has been the subject of intense scrutiny and debate today around Defamer HQ. On one hand, its undercurrents of everything from purity-ringed privilege to downmarket Beatlemania convey just the kind of “phenomenon” vibe Disney intends. On the other, you’ve got three kids dressed like bums with expensive luggage crowding into a puddle-jumper. For now, anyway, critical mass wins out; here’s a case to be made for the latter. More »
Upon Reflection, Maybe Jordin Sparks Didn’t Mean to Call You All ‘Sluts’
4:50AM Defamer US Edition | The VMAs tend to be known for their feuds, whether it’s Madonna vs. Courtney Love, Kid Rock vs. Tommy Lee, or Michael Jackson vs. his overwhelming fear of Lisa Marie Presley’s pursed lips. This year’s ceremony was no different, though the anger came from an unexpected source: American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, who overstepped a line while defending the Jonas Brothers’ purity, declaring, “It’s not bad to wear a promise ring, because not everybody — guy or girl — wants to be a slut.” This implication of an either/or sexual ultimatum prompted an outcry from the historically ribald music world, with elder stateswoman Courtney Love prescribing an unorthodox remedy of “pussy and some cock” and the Jonas Brothers themselves laying hands on salacious host Russell Brand to forgive him. Now, in an interview with EW, Sparks clarifies her controversial words: More »
And Lo, The Jonas Brothers Did Absolve Russell Brand Of His Sins
5:15AM Defamer US Edition | Heading into Sunday night’s VMAs, one could never have predicted that the Jonas Brothers would end up central to the ceremony’s only real controversy; and yet, thanks to Russell Brand’s purity-tweaking jokes and Jordin Sparks’s impassioned tirade against sluts, there they found themselves. Would the squeaky-clean trio retaliate by wagging their ringed fingers in Brand’s face, or would they take Courtney Love’s colorful advice to sample “some pussy and some cock and shut the hell up”? According to the BBC, they chose a different route, claiming to be fans of Brand (thanks to his last Conan O’Brien appearance) and giving him some pointers on pleasing the fickle American audience:
Courtney Love Has the Last, Incoherent Word on the VMAs Purity Ring Controversy
8:35AM Defamer US Edition | Though it’s been a long while since Courtney Love caused controversy at the VMAs, the singer wasn’t about to let last night’s purity ring flap pass by without giving that virginal young upstart Jordin Sparks the what-for. Yes, even though Love claims not to have watched last night’s ceremony (though she adores host Russell Brand), she took to her blog to denounce the latest crop of chaste young performers, giving them the sort of X-rated advice that would make a Jonas Brother blush (not that Miley, though — she’s heard it all). We’ve excerpted the best bits below, though we warn you that they’re hard to read — not because of their shock value, but because their author is the garrulous misspeller Courtney Love: More »
