First Mark Wahlberg, then Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough, and now Joey Fatone! The former NSYNC member is the latest celeb to give advice to Justin Bieber. "Don't be a douche," Joey said. "You get this bug from the 'celebrity' thing where you're very on top of the world and everybody's 'yes-ing' you to death, so you feel like 'I can get away with this' ... He's a kid. You're going have fun. You're going to lash out. You're gonna make mistakes. Everyone does."

andrew mcmahon learn to danceFrank Maddocks

Who: Former Jack's Mannequin and Something Corporate frontman Andrew McMahon

What: "Learn to Dance," a track from Andrew's forthcoming solo EP, The Pop Underground

The Roundup: "'Learn to Dance' was the first song recorded for The Pop Underground and in many ways it set the tone for the EP's subject matter, as well as our approach in the studio," Andrew tells AOL Music.

The singer explains that initially the writing process got off to a rough start.

"I had just finished a really inspiring two-day writing session for another artist and went out to celebrate with some friends," he says. "We ended up watching the sun come up despite the fact I was scheduled to meet a young producer in the morning to begin work on some of my own material. I spent the first half of the day hungover, hitting dead ends, working on a song I had written prior."

With a different mindset, Andrew found the inspiration to write the track, which reflects the lessons he's learned from the past.

"Mark, the producer I'd just met, finally said, 'I think we should write something brand new.' He put up a beat, and it brought me out of my fog," Andrew says. "I laid down the simple piano line you hear in the intro and this boozy, regretful lyric. It quickly turned into flashbacks from my childhood and glimpses into the future. In a lot of ways it's about finding forgiveness and learning how to acknowledge the past in a way that lets you live in the present."]]>andre mcmahon new songAndreMcmahonNewSongandrew mcmahonandrew mcmahon new musicAndrewMcmahonAndrewMcmahonNewMusicjacks mannequinJacksMannequinlearn to danceLearnToDancesomething corporateSomethingCorporatethe pop undergroundThePopUndergroundMaggie Malach2013-04-26T10:50:00 00:00The Saturdays Singer Rochelle Humes Talks Pregnancy Cravings -- Potent Quotableshttp://blog.music.aol.com/2013/04/26/the-saturdays-singer-rochelle-humes-talks-pregnancy-cravings/http://blog.music.aol.com/2013/04/26/the-saturdays-singer-rochelle-humes-talks-pregnancy-cravings/http://blog.music.aol.com/2013/04/26/the-saturdays-singer-rochelle-humes-talks-pregnancy-cravings/#comments

"I just eat what I feel like eating. I've never heard a woman say that she's watching what she's eating when she's pregnant! I keep having cravings for chocolate eclairs. I would blame it on the baby but everyone knows I loved them way before I was pregnant." -- Rochelle Humes

Backstreet Boys ComebackBig Hassle

Say what you want about the Backstreet Boys -- but those guys aren't afraid to be honest.

Earlier this week, Nick Carter and Howie Dorough chatted with AOL Music about their 20th anniversary as a band and the possibility of an NSYNC reunion, but when talk turned to Nick's upcoming wedding, things got serious.

Nick explained his schedule hasn't slowed down since he proposed to fitness guru Lauren Kitt in February.]]>backstreet boysBackstreetBoyshowie dHowie DoroughHowieDHowieDoroughlauren kittLaurenKittnick carternick carter engagednick carter fianceenick carter marryNickCarterNickCarterEngagedNickCarterFianceeNickCarterMarryMaggie Malach2013-04-25T18:00:00 00:00Ryan Beatty Live Chat: Singer Answers YOUR Questions LIVEhttp://blog.music.aol.com/2013/04/25/ryan-beatty-because-of-you-interview/http://blog.music.aol.com/2013/04/25/ryan-beatty-because-of-you-interview/http://blog.music.aol.com/2013/04/25/ryan-beatty-because-of-you-interview/#comments

Beyonce clearly isn't concerned about overexposure following her Super Bowl show, Inauguration performance, HBO documentary premiere and Pepsi commercial. The singer released a video ad for her summer H&M collection. The 90-second commercial features Queen B singing a new track, "Standing on the Sun," and dancing in the sand. Enjoy. [US Weekly]


Bella Thorne is officially a quadruple threat -- singer, dancer, actor, and ... author? The "Shake It Up" star has inked a deal with Random House to write a teen book series, Autumn Falls. USA Today reports the novels will have be "about a 14-year-old girl whose life unexpectedly changes after an encounter with magic."

From monkey business to drugs, Justin Bieber's Believe world tour keeps stirring up international trouble.

TMZ has spoken with a representative from the Stockholm Police Department in Sweden, who report that around 7PM on April 24, an officer smelled marijuana coming from Bieber's tour bus. Allegedly, when the bus left the Grand Hotel and headed toward the Globe Arena, a warrant was issued to search the vehicle.]]>justin bieberjustin bieber collapsejustin bieber faintjustin bieber monkeyjustin bieber pot bustjustin bieber pot stockholmjustin bieber stockholmJustinBieberJustinBieberCollapseJustinBieberFaintJustinBieberMonkeyJustinBieberPotBustJustinBieberPotStockholmJustinBieberStockholmMaggie Malach2013-04-25T10:25:00 00:00Shakira Talks Working Off the Pregnancy Weight -- Potent Quotableshttp://blog.music.aol.com/2013/04/25/shakira-lost-pregnancy-weight-in-3-months-for-the-voice/http://blog.music.aol.com/2013/04/25/shakira-lost-pregnancy-weight-in-3-months-for-the-voice/http://blog.music.aol.com/2013/04/25/shakira-lost-pregnancy-weight-in-3-months-for-the-voice/#comments

Shakira Reveals the Reason Behind Her Rapid Pregnancy Weight LossDominique Charriau, Getty Images

"[It] is the only thing that's been a little stressful. I knew I had to come back here to do 'The Voice' two months after I had delivered a baby. I didn't have my four months of maternity (leave) like every woman on earth has." -- Shakira

Shakira's hips don't lie, and neither does she! People reports the hit singer and judge on "The Voice" opened up about how hard she worked to get back in shape for her role on the TV talent show -- and only three months after giving birth to her first child in January.

Miley Cyrus certainly isn't helping debunk allegations that she's split from fiance Liam Hemsworth. During a Google+ chat with will.i.am, Miley admitted her upcoming record has taken priority over everything -- including her relationships! "All I do is focus on my music," she said. "The only place I ever am is at the studio. I mean it's literally like my friends, my relationships with everyone around me have honestly changed since I've been working on my record because it's the only thing that I've wanted to give 120 percent to. I think it's the only time in my life that I've pushed everything aside, everyone aside, anything that, you know, really mattered and just became about the music." [Perez Hilton]

Last week, Mark Wahlberg advised Justin Bieber to take a vacation, but what does that mean for their potential film project? It's been two years since the pair first talked about teaming up for the movie, but don't lose hope yet! "We got a great script," Mark told E! Online. "So we'll see if schedules will allow it." [E!

Forget tigers and koi fish, Justin Bieber's latest tattoo is getting a lot of buzz for looking a lot like ... you guessed it ... Selena Gomez!

Earlier this week, Justin debuted new ink of a koi carp fish on his left arm, but yesterday, fans noticed a new addition to the singer's arm -- an image of a cleavage-baring female with long, dark hair, wearing angel wings. As Perez Hilton reported, the tattoo bared a striking resemblance to Selena when she appeared on a "Elle" magazine cover.]]>justin bieberjustin new tattojustin selena tattoojustin tattoo for selenaJustinBieberJustinNewTattoJustinSelenaTattooJustinTattooForSelenaselena gomezselena gomez tattooselena gomez tattoo justinSelenaGomezSelenaGomezTattooSelenaGomezTattooJustinBrittany Galla2013-04-24T14:45:00 00:00Kesha Kardashian?

The wild and playful pop star is a huge fan of the swarm of Kardashian reality shows, but says her new series is far from what you see on the small screen from Kim, Kourtney and Khloe.

"I have a love for the Kardashians, I'm not going to lie to you," the 26-year-old said in a recent interview. "I love that show, but it's very different. I do not look as pretty as they do - like at all. During my show, there's a lot of moments with no makeup at all, like I'm in a T-shirt running around in my underwear."]]>keshakesha My Crazy Beautiful Lifekesha reality showKeshaMyCrazyBeautifulLifeKeshaRealityShowkhloe kardasianKhloeKardasianKim KardashianKimKardashiankourtney kardashianKourtneyKardashianpitbullThe Associated Press2013-04-24T14:40:00 00:00Selena Gomez, Bindi Controversy: Singer Defends Spiritual Symbolhttp://blog.music.aol.com/2013/04/24/selena-gomez-defends-bindi/http://blog.music.aol.com/2013/04/24/selena-gomez-defends-bindi/http://blog.music.aol.com/2013/04/24/selena-gomez-defends-bindi/#comments

Backstreet Boys Exclusive Interview - Howie D. Downplays Rivalry Between BoybandsEarl Gibson III, Getty Images

"Now it's kind of interesting, with all of these resurgences of groups coming back around with the New Kids and 98 Degrees and us, even though we actually stayed for 20 years. We only had a little bit of breaks here and there but the music kept on going. For them [NSYNC], it's cool [to be apart]. We know those guys and there was never any real rivalry. Honestly, I went to college with one of the guys, Chris Kirkpatrick, and he was in choir with me. I just saw Joey Fatone in Orlando a couple of weeks ago at a basketball game. We wish them the best." -- Howie D.

In our exclusive interview with the Backstreet Boys, Howie D. debunked the longstanding rumors of rivalries between the groups and spoke about the trend of '90s' of boy bands getting back together. It's always refreshing when competing artists take the high road!

It's not easy being Justin Bieber's pet monkey. After being seized by German authorities on March 28, it looks like Mally might not be returning to his swagtastic life with the pop star. The Biebs has reportedly decided to give away the monkey to a more suitable home. No word on where this home is, but hopefully he will end up safely in a zoo! "A baby monkey was never going to be suited to be on a world tour even if he is traveling by private jet," says Karl Heinz Joachim, the boss of the animal center where Mally is currently house. "He should be out in the wild climbing trees and learning from other monkeys if he isn't to have serious psychological problems later in life." [Daily Mail]

On their upcoming tour, the guys of One Direction will be cruising in a new set of wheels -- the Mystery Machine? 1D will reportedly be driving around in a van tricked out to look like the famous "Scooby Doo" vehicle. "The boys love cartoons and Scooby Doo is a cult classic," a source tells the Mirror. "They wanted to do something special ahead of their US tour and decided to get a bespoke tour bus created."

FOX just announced that "Glee" has been renewed for not one, but TWO more seasons, so it's clear the McKinley kids are here to stay!

What's more to celebrate? In this week's episode, titled "Lights Out," there's even a special guest returning -- Sarah Jessica Parker.

While SJP makes her return, the New Directions are faced with a challenge from Will when a mass power outage leaves them without their electronic equipment.

What does Rebecca Black do on the other six days of the week when she's not celebrating Friday? Apparently, cover Rihanna songs.

It's been a little while since we've heard from Ms. Black, but the viral video star is back with her rendition of "Stay." While it's clear the "Friday" singer has matured, the video has lots (and lots) of slow motions fade-aways, reminding us of that irresistible cheesiness that garnered Rebecca her fame in the first place.

For the duet, Rebecca teamed up with fellow YouTube personality Dave Days (you know him from his Miley Cyrus parodies), but we aren't sure if their combined star power is enough to match Rihanna's.

What do you think?
