Taylor Swift Gets Kanye'd at People's Choice Awards
Originally posted 01/09/2013 09:50PM
It was a familiar feeling for Taylor Swift Wednesday night – and no, not just because she was on stage receiving an award.
Her acceptance of the People's Choice Award for favorite country artist was met with a minor interruption, thanks to presenter Olivia Munn.
More than three years since she was notoriously interrupted by Kanye West at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, perhaps the recently single superstar was just a little more prepared this time around.

Maroon 5's New Album Overexposed: Solid, Not Superior
Originally posted 06/26/2012 05:00PM
Maroon 5's fourth studio album arrives just a few weeks after the 10th-anniversary edition of Songs About Jane, the multiplatinum debut that featured hits like "This Love" and "She Will Be Loved" and won the quintet two Grammys (including Best New Artist).
While they have been consistent performers since then, they've yet to make the same kind of big artistic statement. That trend continues with Overexposed – perhaps a cheeky nod to frontman Adam Levine's group-boosting visibility on The Voice – which finds M5 completely embracing the masses who sent "Moves Like Jagger" to No. 1 last year.

Adam Levine: People Should Question My Sexuality
Originally posted 08/16/2011 07:00AM
Adam Levine wouldn't be offended if people thought he was into men. In fact, he'd embrace it.
"If people didn't think there was a small chance I was gay, then I wouldn't be doing my job very well," the Maroon 5 rocker, 32, says in the September issue of Out magazine. "I wouldn't be the front man of a band if that question hadn't come up at some point."
Although he says there's "no way to hide my straightness," Levine – who mentions David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Freddie Mercury – notes that "the best" lead singers of all time are "guys whose sexuality was always questioned."
