Hey J-14ers,

New York City is pretty busy right about now, thanks to all the New York Fashion Week happenings going on around town, and this Jersey girl got to see it all first-hand! I hung out at the Caravan event during last evening's Fashion's Night Out extravaganza that took place at stores across NYC.

Cobra Starship's Gabe Saporta co-hosted the event, along with All-American Reject's Tyson Ritter, and Gabe even took over the DJ booth for an hour! He told me he didn't think he was a great DJ, but I thought he did a great job! We heard some sweet tunes from the Ting Tings and Cobra (of course!) throughout the night, and who can complain about that? Gabe and I got to catch up again (remember, he was just in the J-14 offices a few weeks ago!) -- turns out Gabe and I went to high school in the same town! I'm always psyched to see Gabe though -- not only do I love their hit single, "Good Girls Go Bad," Gabe's a super nice guy and he used to be the lead singer of one of my fave bands from back in the day, Midtown.

But the night didn't end there! I also saw Greek's Spencer Grammer and Sonny With A Chance's Tiffany Thornton! And at the end of the night, I ran into one of my fave singers, One Tree Hill's Kate Voegele, who was wearing the cutest red dress with a little bubble hem. I last saw her play at Highline Ballroom back in May, and she told me she was just in town for Fashion Week, but she'll be back in NYC this fall on another tour.

It was a night full of fun, sweet music and fashion, and awesome tour news. Plus, I got a sweet prize signed just by Gabe for a lucky winner -- but you'll have to wait for an upcoming issue to get the deets on that! ;)

What do you think of Cobra Starship and lead singer Gabe? Are you into "Good Girls Go Bad?" And what fashions are you psyched for this fall?

The hottest musicians today have joined forces and channeled their retro instincts for a music video based on the classic movie, West Side Story, called VMA Side Story -- to celebrate the upcoming MTV VMAs on September 13 at 9 p.m.

Check out this music video starring Cobra Starship, Leighton Meester, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, NeYo, and Russell Brand!

Tell us what you think!

Cobra Starship appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien last night, performing their hit single, "Good Girls Go Bad." But lead singer Gabe Saporta's fave gal, Leighton Meester, wasn't there!

Um, did Cobra just ditch the Gossip Girl star? No way! Leighton's shooting GG in New York City, but Conan films in Los Angeles. So what's a band to do? Have R&B singer Estelle fill in, of course! Check out the vid of her singing with Cobra below.

Who do you think sings "Good Girls Go Bad" better -- Leighton Meester or Estelle?

Cobra Starship's Gabe Saporta, Alex Saurez, and Ryland Blackinton stopped by the J-14 offices and they not only spilled the deets on their new CD, Hot Mess -- yep, it includes the hit single, "Good Girls Go Bad" with Leighton Meester! -- they told us what they were like at 14. Check it out!

Tell us -- what do you think of Cobra Starship? Are you excited for Hot Mess? And who else do you want to see them duet with?

Hi J-14ers!

Cobra Starship stopped by the J-14 offices last week and I had a total blast with them! You have to check out theses crazy facts about they dished to me about Leighton Meester, Twilight, and more!

1. Lead singer Gabe is a HUGE Gossip Girl fan. While they didn't chat with Leighton Meester about the show (Ryland says Leighton did tease Gabe for being a GG "fanboy"), they loved working with her in their "Good Girls Go Bad" video. Bassist Ryland called her "an absolute professional," while Gabe let us in on a little secret from the video. "The legs walking over us aren't Leighton's!" Gabe reveals.

2. The boys haven't read any of the Twilight books, but Ryland did ask if I was a vampire (I had a lovely Garfield band-aid from giving blood that day). Don't worry, J-14ers -- I told them about Edwards sparkling abilities and pointed out each of the Twilight hotties to them.

3. Guitarist Alex's fave song off of Hot Mess is the first track, "Nice Guys Finish Last." Gabe tells us the band tends to think up song titles first and writes lyrics around them.

4. Everyone on their record label, Decaydence, are friends, but they admit that they don't really sound like the other bands despite being all lumped together. Cobra is proud of their more electronic sound.

5. Ashley Tisdale has a track on her CD, Guilty Pleasure, called "Hot Mess" -- both titles are also songs off Cobra Starship's! Gabe called this out to her on Ash's Twitter, but Gabe revealed to us exclusively that as of July 8, she hadn't responded to him yet.

6. What would Gabe's perfect girl be like? "A hot mess!" he jokingly said. Ryland admits that Gabe does seem to get all the ladies.

Are you excited for Cobra's new album like I am? Why or why not?

Emily

Cobra Starship premiered their brand new song, "Good Girls Go Bad," on Ryan Seacrest this morning, but it's no ordinary tune -- the track features Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester!

You can hear the new song right now on the band's MySpace page, even though the single doesn't go on sale on iTunes until Tuesday, May 12! Check out the song and tell us what you think about the tune, Leighton, and if you're psyched for their third album, Hot Mess, to drop August 11.
