James Maslow to Perform at Stream Con in NYC 10/31!

2 Comments

Yesterday was James Maslow’s 25th birthday, and he decided to celebrate by giving a gift to all of his fans!  James announced he is performing at Stream Con in NYC this October!   James has been busy working on solo music since his run to the finals of “Dancing With The Stars” last year, and this will be one of his first solo performances.  We can’t WAIT to hear what he has in store, because he was always one of our favorites from Big Time Rush.  We can only hope that he’ll continue to dance, because on both BTR and DTWS, he totally crushed it.  The Vine below pretty much sums up our excitement about James’ announcement.

Visit the Stream Con website for more info on James’ performance, which will be on Saturday, October 31st.   He will be doing a meet and greet as well, so stay tuned for more info!

Listen to Cody Simpson’s New Song “Flower”

Leave a comment

We’ve been anxiously waiting for new music from Cody Simpson, and it’s finally here!  Cody announced he was going independent last summer in order to make the music he’s wanted to make all along.  We were curious to see just what he meant, especially since he’s made some of our favorite jams over the last couple of years (“Surfboard,” “Got Me Good,” etc)   Cody just released his first track as an independent artist, “Flower.”  It’s definitely a slight departure from some of his previous tracks, but it still has Cody’s signature laid back, beachy pop sound.   Listen below and pickup a copy on iTunes now!

Make sure to tune into GMA this Friday, February 6th, to watch the first live performance of “Flower!”  If you’re in NYC, you can see also Cody perform this weekend at the Forever 21 store opening.  Details below!

Nickelodeon’s WebHeads With Carlos PenaVega Premieres Tonight!

Leave a comment

Hosted by Big Time Rush member, Carlos PenaVega, Webheads is a new kind of gameshow that tests your knowledge of Internet trivia and viral videos!

We always thought Logan would be the game show host (Breakout Dreams anyone?) but we’re glad that now Carlos is will be appearing on our TVs every week!  An adorable ball of energy, Carlos is perfect for a game show host!  We caught him hosting an Apple in-store event last summer for GoDance, and he seemed just as home as he does on stage.

Carlos also revealed to Ryan Seacrest today that Big Time Rush is meeting in a few weeks to possibly plan a fall tour … needless to say we need to make this happen!  The band has been spending this year working on their own projects:  Kendall Schmidt released a single, “Parallel,” and  is touring with band Heffron Drive; James Maslow won hearts across America as a contestant on “Dancing With the Stars,”  and Logan Henderson has…wait has anyone heard from Logan?!

Watch the show preview below and don’t forget to tune in tonight at 6PM on Nickelodeon!  Carlos will be live-tweeting the premieres on both the East & West Coasts, so get your questions ready!  Follow Carlos on Twitter to join in!

The Friday Five: Our Favorite “Dancing With the Stars” Contestants

Leave a comment

In honor of Monday’s “Dancing With the Stars” finale, and our man James Maslow making it  to the finals, for this week’s Friday Five we’re looking back at our favorite DWTS contestants!

1. James Maslow
We cannot say enough good things about James, and are so happy to see him in the finals! He’s consistently improved week after week, and is such a passionate performer.  We’re glad everyone can see what us Big Time Rush fans have known all along!  Now if James could just take his new dance skills on the road on another BTR tour…

2. Lance Bass
The last time we were this invested in DWTS was the season of Lance Bass and Cody Linley in 2008.  We’ll never forget Lance’s iconic Jitterbug, where he lost his shoe in the finals but still managed to come in 3rd place!  (He should have won)

3. Cody Simpson
Oh, Cody.  You left way too early, but at least we got this “Surfboard” dance before you went!  We’re looking forward to seeing him back on the finale – we hear he’s been working on something amazing.

4. Joey McIntyre
Boy band members make the BEST contestants.  They have the moves, know how to charm a crowd, and have fangirl voting power.  We welcome any and all current and former boy band members to join the cast.  (Other former DWTS boy banders include Joey Fatone and Drew Lachey)

5. Aaron Carter
Aaron oh Aaron, what are we going to do with you?  Partner Karina Smirnoff managed to keep Aaron focused enough to make it to week 8!  He’s definitely got the moves and made each dance fun to watch.

Bonus: Cody Linley

And in case you were wondering what Cody Linley has been up to since DWTS, he released a single called “Breathe” in 2010.  You’re welcome.

Man Crush Monday: James Maslow on “Dancing With the Stars”

Leave a comment

After a great weekend, we always get a serious case of the Mondays.  At least we have “Dancing With the Stars” to look forward to!  And by “Dancing With the Stars” we mean “James Maslow.”

We always knew how talented and hilarious James is, thanks to his part in Big Time Rush, but he’s proved week after week on DWTS that he has the talent, passion and drive (not to mention the voting power of the fan girls) to bring home the mirrorball trophy.  He’s consistently improved and raised the bar week after week, even scoring a rare perfect score for his contemporary dance to “Let it Go” last week.

Check out some of our favorite Maslow dances below.

The Tango:

The Jive:

The Salsa:

And let’s not forget where it all started:  Big Time Rush, whom we credit for bringing boy bands back in fashion, are one of the few LEGIT boy bands out there.   As in they actually dance.  Check out some of our favorite moves below.  (BTR keep saying “it ain’t over” … we’re hoping for just one more tour?)

Be sure to follow James on Twitter & tune into “Dancing With the Stars” tonight at 8 on ABC!
