As the legend goes, AJR got their first big break when they tweeted a link to the song to Sia, who loved the song so much she asked the boys for a meeting!

We can’t wait to see AJR open for The Vamps later this month at their sold-out Gramercy Theatre show!

Carlos Pena Releases First Solo Single

Carlos released his first solo single…but sadly, it’s not “Carlos ALONE”.
The song is called “Electrico” and is already in the Top 10 on the iTunes Latin charts! Check out the single artwork above from Carlos’ Instagram.  We think it’s great that our little Carlitos is branching into the Latin charts!! He has such a knack for performing and hopefully this is a taste of the future ahead of him.

Get the song on iTunes and check out the lyric translation by @BTRTourUpdater  HERE!

We hope “Logalicious” is the next solo piece to come from Big Time Rush…but most of all we want a full album and a full tour of James’s “Break Out Dreams” project.

Kendall Schmidt Releasing A New Single In March

Rejoice!!  Kendall Schmidt of Big Time Rush and Heffron Drive is releasing a new single in March!
We aren’t sure if this is by himself or with Dustin Belt as Heffron Drive, but we are super stoked to hear what he’s been up to in the studio for the past few months. If it’s anything like the new music we heard on the Heffron Drive Winter Tour, then the future of pop-rock is in good hands.

Throwback Thursday: Macy Misa on JONAS – The ULTIMATE Fangirl

If you watched JONAS on Disney (religiously like we did) then you’ll recognize Macy Misa on Ravenswood and have fond memories of her not so secret fangirling. Particularly in the episode “Love Sick”.  Macy goes on a date to a basketball game with a boy (Randolph) only to make him wear a curly wig (that she insisted was a hat), even making him dress like her celebrity crush/classmate – Nick Lucas (Nick Jonas).

Season 1 of JONAS was absolute GOLD and it’s a shame that they changed the writing and setting for season 2. The humor of season 1 captured the brothers so perfectly and was really a slight exaggeration of them in real life.

Nick says “I don’t come to these games is because I never meet anyone like myself”  and then this happens.

Watch the episode online and remind yourself….if Macy Misa can eventually date her celebrity crush, so can you!

Macy Misa is the definition of “fangirl” and the textbook example of pretty much how NOT to act around your favorite celebs. Somehow her character went on to date Nick which only gives us that much more hope!

Throwback Thursday: Justin Bieber

We know we promised ourselves that we would never write about The Biebs on here, but today might be the only exception.

In light of Justin’s DUI (among other things) arrest this morning, we thought it’d be fun to do a little Throwback Thursday on our favorite moments during Justin Bieber’s career.

Who would have thought this adorable shaggy haired little friend of Usher’s would have gotten into so much trouble in the past year?

Hopefully Justin will be saying this arrest is a “One Time” thing!

While we know that Justin has done a whole lot of good for his fans and others around the world, his recent antics have everyone in America chanting “Send him back to Canada!!” Justin’s team should probably get a tighter grip on the reigns of what’s left of Justin’s singing career.

Who can forget the iconic “Call Me Maybe” cover video that Carlos PenaVega (of Big Time Rush) put together with Justin, Selena Gomez, Ashley Tisdale, the rest of Big Time Rush, and all their friends?!   This is still our favorite video for Carly Rae Jepsen’s song.

Bieber’s Christmas CD always makes our cut of “Which songs do we put on repeat for a month instead of listening to the radio” but how can we forget Ellen Degeneres telling him to pull his pants up during the “Mistletoe” video?

Justin’s “Believe” album was by far his best album and it’s still one of our favorites. “Boyfriend” is easily our favorite song off that album and that won’t change any time soon! We still don’t understand why the video starts one way and then switches just as the first chorus kicks in.  (And we’ll just ignore the fact that the video is basically a rip-off of *NSYNC’s “Girlfriend”)

Once Justin started getting his tattoos, things kind of started to spin out of control – slowly at first and then all at once.  Add in the loss of his first love, the beautiful and classy Selena Gomez, and Justin fell into the lure of everything bad Hollywood has to offer to a young star.

In case you were at work all day and somehow missed it, here is Justin’s mug shot that was posted by the Miami Beach PD Twitter account. Arrest reports can also be found for both Justin and his friend on the Miami Beach Police Department’s Twitter. Still not sure why he looks more cheery in his mugs than in meet and greet photos lately.

Justin is now out of jail on bond, but we hope that he cleans up his act!
