“Tonight was one of those things that was quite a legendary thing to do and something that you felt honored to do as well. Not many people can say that they’ve been on Saturday Night Live and especially at our age. Doing the skit as well was so much fun and performing our music,” Liam Payne said.

Liam went on to express his gratitude to his fans and surprise at the band’s success.

“We thought we’d release it the U.K. but never ever get to a point where we’d be performing on one of the biggest TV shows in America that’s watched by so many millions of viewers,” he said.

“It’s mad that we got to this point. That’s why I came home and went straight onto the web cam because I thought that it was important that we went on and said hi to the fans and thank you very much for getting us to where we are because it’s literally all about the fans.”

Meanwhile, in the video clip “One Direction in America” the boys let fans in on the ideas behind their Kids Choice Awards performance. Watch while choreographer Wade Robson teaches them dance moves and his team explain the theme behind their performance.

This wasn’t Peterson’s first fist pumping marathon, but this was the first time he was ever recorded. According to Ohio.com, Zinnihunt Productions co-owners Clay Hunt and Greg Zinni, along with Matt Rohrbach, captured the 16 hours using two cameras. Their footage will help ensure accurate documentation to be sent into Guinness.

“I did this on St. Patrick’s Day but it was not documented,” Peterson said. “I used to hang light fixtures so I am used to having my hands above my head.”

Before beginning his fist pumping adventure on Friday morning, May 11th, Peterson super glued his hand to ensure his fist would stay in perfect ‘fist pump posture.’

Hunt and Zinni recorded Peterson fist pumping all over the Cleveland area. Peterson was spotted fist pumping on Center Stage at Lock 3, in front of the Akron Aeros’ firework display Friday night, and ended his adventure by 3 a.m. Saturday morning at Manny’s Pub in Akron. He fist pumped to his last song, “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen.

Hunt and Zinni are sending the footage into Guinness this week and if successful, Peterson will hold the longest fist pumping record set by an individual. There is a previous record held which involves a group of fist pumpers. On December 31st, 2010, the cast of MTV’s Jersey Shore led a group of 5,726 people fist pumping for MTV’s “New Year’s Bash” in Times Square.

Blasted for being a “vulgar singer who wears only panties and a bra when she sings” by head of Islamic Defender Front (FPI) Salim Alatas, it seems he isn’t the only one who holds these sentiments.

According to Reuters, three Islamic groups have shared their dislike of the pop star and as a result Gaga has been forced to cancel the concert.

“She stated she is the envoy of the devil’s child and that she will spread satanic teaching,” Alatas said, adding, “This is dangerous.”

MTV News reports that the permit for the show has been denied while “some of the critics actually threatened to use physical force to prevent Gaga from getting off her plane.”

Yesterday she took to Twitter, perhaps to acknowledge her biggest tour date cancellation.

I’m obviously having a rough time tweeting today

Based on vampires, werewolves, zombies, man-made monsters, witches, warlocks and time travel, Dark Shadows was considered a hit when it aired as a ground-breaking daytime soap opera in the late 1960′s.

Taking in a haul of $28 million, the 2012 Tim Burton film stars Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter and Eva Green.

At the end of the film, Killers fans will hear an uncanny similarity to the original recording of the Raspberries’ 1972 hit “Go All The Way.” Back in ’72, the single was a top 5 Billboard hit and received little revival in 2000 when Cameron Crowe featured it in his film Almost Famous.

Our old pal Tim Burton asked us to record a cover song for his new film #DarkShadows. It opens everywhere Friday. See you at the movies..

The Rasberries were a 70s power pop group known best for their hit singles “Go All the Way,” “Let’s Pretend,” “I Wanna Be with You,” and “Tonight.” Formed in Cleveland, Ohio, the band was influenced by the British Invasion including artists like the Beatles, the Who, the Hollies, and Small Faces.

The Rasberries broke up in 1975 and frontman Eric Carmen continued as a solo artist. He led a successful career as a solo artist and went on to sing popular hits “All By Myself,” “Never Gonna Fall in Love Again,” and “Hungry Eyes.”

Listen to The Killers’ version and the 1972 original.

Dark Shadows is now playing in theaters everywhere.

Last night at the Hollywood Bowl Coldplay, perhaps not a band you would automatically associate with New York hip hop, surprised fans with an amazing tribute to MCA. The guys performed a very Coldplay version of the Beaties signature hit, “(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party).”

Martin cracks a smile, and the crowd gets especially loud, near the end of the song when the line, “mom you’re just jealous, it’s the Beastie Boys,” comes up. Martin repeats it twice and ad-libs a tender ending of, “and so we’re sending all our love to the Beastie Boys.”

Jay McGuinness confirmed, “He’d do crazy things to that lady.”

Tom met Helen during a February 2011 appearance on British late night talk show, The Graham Norton Show. At the end of each show Graham does a segment called “That’s All We’ve Got Time For,” where an audience member sits in a red chair to tell a story to all the guests. Tom wrangled a seat away from his bandmates and next to Helen.

“She was great. She said that she thought I was hot,” Tom told CBS Local. “I was like ‘yes!’ I don’t usually get that.”

So then Tom, what does Helen Mirren smell like? “She smells of flowers and grapes,” Tom replied.

“And success,” Siva Kaneswaran added.

Tom found himself in hot water last week after voicing his opinions about pop star Christina Aguilera. Perhaps his kind words for Helen Mirren will turn the tide…and get more ladies telling him that they think he’s hot.

Gotye spoke to Alice@97.3/San Francisco about his impressions of his unusual song ending up on the top of the pop charts.

“It’s very flattering obviously. It’s felt strange. I didn’t expect it for a song like that or really for probably any of my music. I’ve never been making music dreaming of having pop single success,” Gotye said.

Many might be surprised to find out he’s a fan of a certain pop artist: Katy Perry. “I think some of her songs are fantastic,” Gotye said about the pop star. “They’re incredible pop songs. Teenage Dream is probably…yeah. ‘Teenage Dream’ comes to mind.”

Gotye confesses to liking more than just Katy Perry, however: he’s got a certain affinity for the way pop stars did things in the ’80s. “I love a lot of artists, I guess,” Gotye said. “Especially I think there was a point in the ’80s where a lot of artists who were doing more experimental, artsy things did have a lot of mainstream success and carved out their own niche and their own sound world [but] still had a very big audience.”

Just the same, Gotye is still getting used to success in the pop world on his own terms. “But having made music for 10-15 years and done it in a very independent way and had mostly alternative success even in Australia, [pop music] wasn’t a world I expected to enter in any way.”

“The range of artists I want to work with is so vast it’s bizarre,” Ke$ha said. “I would love to have Keith Richards on the record. I would sure as hell like to do a collaboration with Bieber and at the same time do a song with the Flaming Lips.”

Having co-written “Til the World Ends” for Britney Spears, Ke$ha also revealed what that experience was like in the magazine.

“To write a song for an icon, someone who stands for pop, it really doesn’t get better than that,” she said.

Turns out her admiration for Spears isn’t one sided.

“Ke$ha brings an incredibly carefree, fun-loving spirit to American pop music,” Britney said via e-mail. “I love listening to her songs when I’m on the treadmill. They help me power through my workout.”

While her album is still in the works, Ke$ha promises a cohesive release.

“If someone is a real artist, you can’t confine them to a particular genre. It’s my mission to make it all make sense somehow.”

In the ad for Burger King’s new crispy chicken strips, Tyler mouths off to a manager who asks him to wear a hairnet, among other acts of defiance (pretty tame for a major rock star, though). Most notably, he busts out his harmonica for a little riffing.

The reaction to Tyler’s Burger King commercial is tame compared to the controversy surrounding a similar ad featuring R&B singer Mary J. Blige. Public criticism for Blige’s commercial suggested that the ad played up racial stereotypes by presenting an African-American singing about fried chicken. Blige herself said she was not pleased with the commercial, and that the ad was not presented in the way she originally agreed upon.

No word on how much Tyler was paid for his Burger King ad, but Mary J. Blige earned a reported $2 million for hers, which was quickly pulled.
