A Rocket To The Moon -- aka lead singer/guitarist Nick Santino, guiartist Justin Richards, bassist Eric Halvorsen, and drummer Andrew Cook -- stopped by the J-14 Magazine offices to tell us all about their new album, On Your Side! It drops tomorrow, October 13, and Nick says their pop/rock sound was infused with "a country feel." The boys described themselves as "All-American Rejects with Third Eye Blind and a male Taylor Swift."
And with catchy songs like "Annabelle" and "Dakota," we had to dig into the boy mind and ask them lots of girl questions -- namely who their celeb crushes are! Andrew likes Megan Fox and Nick said, who else, Taylor Swift!
Check out their exclusive shoutout to J-14 readers below, and look for their q&a soon!
Just a few hours after J-14 talked exclusively with Miley Cyrus' big brother, Metro Station's Trace Cyrus, about her deleting her Twitter account, Miley posted this rap video explaining exactly why she quit.
Watch especially closely for what she has to say about other famous Twitter users like Katy Perry, Dane Cook, Demi Lovato, and Britney Spears.

Yesterday when Miley deleted her Twitter account, it instantly become one of the hottest news stories around. Everyone wants her to come back to Twitter, especially her dad, Billy Ray!

Talk about an interesting pairing. Controversial British comic and VMA host, Russell Brand, seems to be getting more and more serious with pop singer Katy Perry. The two had a rumored hook-up at Lady Gaga's VMA after party, have flirted like crazy since -- and now it seems the two vacationed together in Thailand. Both Twittered about their faraway vacay, though neither mentioned the other's names. Check out Katy's post below:

Joe Jonas, Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry, Shania Twain, Neil Patrick Harris, and Victoria Beckham (pictured above) have all taken a turn as the fourth judge during the auditions for the ninth season of American Idol... but the permanent fourth judge has just been announced.
Joining Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Kara DioGuardi at the judges' table all season long will be.... drumroll please... Ellen DeGeneres!
The funnywoman will join the new team (Paula Abdul is no longer part of the judges' panel) when the new season debuts in January 2010.
Ellen's reaction? "I'm thrilled to be the new judge on American Idol," she said. "I've watched since the beginning, and I've always been a huge fan. So getting this job is a dream come true, and think of all the money I'll save from not having to text in my vote."
Ha! Said true Ellen style!
What do you think about the addition of Ellen to the American Idol judge's panel?

More than anything I look forward to it every summer as a daylong escape for one hot day. And it's especially cool that people are going to see the Warped Tour in a new setting - movie theaters - with the Anniversary special!"

Hey J-14ers!
Here at J-14, we're way into music, from your faves like the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus to newer bands and artists like Hey Monday and Kate Voegele. I happen to me a huge music fan myself - I'm constantly posting my fave song lyrics on Twitter or telling everyone about a show I just checked out.
That's why I was psyched when I realized that this month is the one year anniversary of Katy Perry's debut album, One Of The Boys. I have to admit, I got into Katy a bit after everyone else -- it was her second radio hit, "Hot N Cold," that made me give her whole record a try, not "I Kissed A Girl," the tune everyone obvi always talks about! But after seeing her live at Z100's Jingle Ball 2008 (in a cute Santa costume, natch), her CD has barely left my stereo, you can find me screaming "Fingerprints" out my window practically every day, and when her fourth single, "Waking Up In Vegas," comes on the radio, I turn the volume way too high for anyone's good (those poor fellow drivers on the highway). "Fingerprints" (featured in commercials for ABC Family's Sophie and the last track on One Of The Boys) has become my empowering anthem -- I feel like I can do almost anything after I listen to that track!

There are so many awesome female singers out there who not only have discs that "have legs" as they say in the industry (AKA they're still churning out hit singles way after their CD initially debuts) -- just like Pink, one of my all time faves! Her tunes are always on the radio, and the lyrics are super real and relatable, especially those breakup tracks off her latest disc, Funhouse ("So What," anyone?).
So I want to hear from you guys -- which CDs are you still listening to way after they came out? Are there any strong female singers you're constantly quoting? And are there any new bands you're really into right now?
We'd love to know, so fill J-14 in!
<3,
Emily

Jesse McCartney's hitting the Grammys for the first time ever this weekend... and he'll be rooting for Leona Lewis! Why? Although Jesse's hits "Leavin'" and "How Do You Sleep?" are rockin' the charts, it's his songwriting skills that landed him at the big-time award show. Yup, he co-wrote "Bleeding Love" with One Republic's Ryan Tedder... which is nominated for the biggest award of the night, Record of the Year!
J-14 chatted exclusively with Jesse this week to get the scoop about his Grammy adventures!
J-14: How does it feel to be nominated for a Grammy?
Jesse: I'm just so thrilled. It's amazing for us and for Leona. It's the Grammy awards. It's one of the biggest and more prestigious nights for the music industry and everyone and their mother will be there, so it's going to be cool.
J-14: How did you find out about the nomination?
Jesse: It's funny -- I was on tour and traveling a lot with Katy Perry because she was on the same route. We found out simultaneously that she got nominated and that "Bleeding Love" got nominated. It was a big night!
J-14: What does a Grammys mean to you?
Jesse: This is going to be my first time attending the Grammys. I love the Grammy Foundation -- I'm getting more active with them and really trying to give back to the kids out there. I just did Career Day with the Grammy Foundation a couple of days ago. They bussed these kids in from inner-city schools to teach them about music and get them involved in the whole music industry. Everyone over there at the Grammy Foundation is really fun to be around so it's going to be a good weekend.
J-14: What will be going through your head when they're about to announce the winner in your category?
Jesse: I'm sure that I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat a little bit!
J-14: Do you ever wish you sang "Bleeding Love" on your album?
Jesse: No, I don't. I did sing it when I recorded the demo of it, but I don't regret it at all. Leona really owned the song and made it what it is today. Who knows if it ever would have blown up if it was recorded by me or any other artist. It may have had to be for Leona -- and Leona only. I really have no regrets about and I can't complain. She got me a number one hit!
