Hey J-14ers,

I was lucky enough to not just watch the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards being taped last night at NYC's Roseland Ballroom, but I got to head out on to the red carpet too! I talked to all the celebs about who they were excited to see at the awards show and, of course, talk about New Moon!

Sparks the Rescue's single is called "We Love Like Vampires," so I had to ask if they were Team Edward or Jacob. "Team Bella!" guitarist Toby McAllister told J-14. But Zooey Deschanel -- her hubby happens to be Death Cab For Cutie's lead singer Ben Gibbard -- told me she hasn't seen the movies! "I just haven't gotten to it, but I'm open to it," Zooey told J-14. "I love the soundtrack!"

Never Shout Never's Christopher Drew -- one of the night's big winners who told me, "I wish I was a vampire!" -- was psyched to see Death Cab perform, while singer Kenna loves Alicia Keys. In fact, he wanted her to win the Good Woodie award for charity work -- over himself! But would he pull a Kanye West if Alicia didn't win? "Yes," he told me. "I'll take the award from whoever - like if I win it, I'll take it from myself. Is [Taylor Swift] here? I want to give her a hug."

He wasn't the only one -- the Kanye incident was mentioned by rapper Asher Roth when he presented an award. But the biggest surprises of the night? Matt & Kim's back-up dancers stripping down during the band's opening number (they still had some clothes on -- don't worry!), 3OH!3 dressed up in two of Lady Gaga's craziest outfits, and Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester presented with the legendary Cydni Lauper!

My fave parts of the night overall were just watching Death Cab perform their hit off the Twilight soundtrack, "Meet Me On The Equinox," and one of my all-time fave songs of theirs, "The Sound of Settling." P.O.S. rapping through the crowd was pretty cool too, as was mega rock band The Dead Weather performing three songs to close out the night -- after all, they're an awesome group who hardly ever take the stage!

You can check out all the madness when the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards when it premieres on Friday, December 4 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

There were tons of up-and-coming bands and indie groups there that I think you guys would love. So tell me -- what new bands are you interested in hearing about? Do you guys like finding out about new music?

Do you like the video? Do you think it's her best one yet?

Rumors were flying around that American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga were working on a new song together -- and Adam just confirmed on his Twitter that it's true!

He wrote, "Yes it's true: I spent yesterday in the studio w the insanely talented and creative Lady GaGa recording a song that she wrote! I love her. Gaga wrote the song a while ago and she thought it would be a good fit for me. It's a solo track. I feel so honored and lucky to be asked. GaGa just gets it, ya know?"

No word on if the song will be on Adam's debut album For Your Entertainment, out November 23. (The same day Rihanna's album Rated R!)

What do you think their song will sound like? Are you excited for Adam's new album?

Lady Gaga's tour with Kanye West may have been cancelled, but the dance-pop princess is definitely not letting that hold her back! First, she announced a re-release of her debut CD, The Fame -- the album, now dubbed The Fame Monster, drops November 23 and will feature eight brand new tracks.

And now, she's revealed that she is going on tour this winter -- just not with Kanye! Her new tour, The Monster Ball, will start on November 27 in Montreal.

"A message to all my little monsters: The Fame Monster will come out four days before the first live show," Lady gaga says. "You have exactly 96 hours to learn all of the lyrics so you can sing along. Dress accordingly."

Sounds like it'll be an awesome -- and way out there -- show! Check out all of Lady Gaga's tour dates for The Monster Ball after the jump.

Going Ga-Ga for Lady Gaga? Well, you're def in luck! The pop/dance singer is not just re-releasing her debut album, The Fame -- she's adding eight brand new songs to the collection! The new CD, The Fame Monster, will drop November 24.

"On my re-release The Fame Monster, I wrote about everything I didn't write on The Fame," Lady Gaga explains. "While traveling the world for two years, I've encountered several monsters, each represented by a different song on the new record."

The first single off the new record, "Bad Romance," will premiere in early November.

Will you buy Lady Gaga's re-release?

If you thought the premiere of Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" video was the first time she appeared on MTV, think again. Gaga was actually made her debut back in 2005. Nope, she wasn't singing -- she was on MTV's hidden camera show Boiling Point! If MTV didn't tell us we were staring at a pre-wigged out Gaga, well, we'd probably never know. Check out her appearance and tell us what you think about the old school video!

Do you think Lady Gaga look better as a brunette or blonde?

Seattle native Blake Lewis will drop his second album, Heartbreak On Vinyl tomorrow, October 6, so we had to get the scoop on the new songs straight from the American Idol alum. The dance-pop singer also filled us in on touring with Lady Gaga and why he wants to be a part of Twilight!

J-14: Your first single, "Sad Song," has an '80s vibe -- is that what you were going for?
Blake: No, I didn't go for it at all actually -- it just comes naturally. I'm a big '80s kid. Usually I never set out to have a song sound a certain way -- I'm just trying to make a good dance record and pull it off. I'm very excited about it. "Sad Song" is an anthem for the heartbroken. It's not necessarily a sad song. I have people that are like, "Is it sad?" No, it's not! I got out of a very big relationship for the first time, and I was heartbroken. I've had heartaches [before], but this time I was really sad. But Heartbreak on Vinyl -- the actual album title and title track -- has to do with indie record stores closing down, not heartbreak. I'm heartbroken that these record stores are closing down, because I'm a big audio fan. I buy vinyl and I shop for records -- I don't go online.

J-14: Which tracks on Heartbreak On Vinyl are the most personal to you?
Blake: As far as personal, probably "Rebel Without a Cause" is the story of me. It's the story of "Why'd I leave? Why'd I have to be so rebellious?" I'm always been very independent my whole life. "Left My Baby For You" totally explains me breaking up [with my ex-GF], moving to California, and then me trying to go back to Seattle and win her back. That's when I get heartbroken. I know that I was wrong. Then "The Point" is the tail end of the breakup, when you're trying to hold on and there's no point.

J-14: If you could perform with anybody, who would it be?
Blake: Probably Sting, Bono, or Prince. I couldn't say one person. I would say Michael Jackson if he was still [alive], and Prince is the last great performer of that era.

J-14: What was it like to do a few shows with Lady Gaga?
Blake: She's very sweet. I met her two years ago at a dance function, and she remembered me. She's very professional. She's very serious about what she does and even people who don't like her should respect it. She's one-of-a-kind. We needed something special like her in the music industry to bring dance out in the open. It's funny for me coming from the dance music scene -- we come from the same place. She's always been Lady Gaga. I guess her persona would be Stefani, her real name.

J-14: Are you going to watch Idol this season now that Paula Abdul's not on the show anymore?
Blake: I think it's terrible that Paula left - I'm sad that she's gone. I don't think Kara needed to be an addition to the show. I only watched a couple of episodes -- I've never watched American Idol really. I'd never seen it before I was on it, and I've never seen my season still. I could never watch myself. It's weird to me.

J-14: Did you know they'll be filming the fourth Twilight movie in Seattle?
Blake: (gasps) I love vampires, so anything to do with vampires! I haven't read the books. [But] I'm from Seattle, and I think my song "Rapture of Love" should be on.

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:

What do you think of the rumored couple -- cute or weird?

Lady Gaga and Kanye West were getting ready to head out on their "Fame Kills" tour together -- when the entire tour was suddenly canceled!

Just a few days ago, Gaga had spoken out in support of Kanye following the Taylor Swift incident saying, "I would say he's a good guy and everybody makes mistakes, and he feels so bad. He really does... everyone likes to focus on gossip, but he's changed music and he's really prolific and an incredible person, and I think it's unfair to judge somebody on one mistake they've made. He's really kind of shown me a lot, as a friend, planning this tour -- it's all about the fans. I felt like that moment really portrayed him in a way that he really isn't. It was just a random moment."

Despite that, the entire tour was canceled on Thursday. No official explanation was given, but refunds will be available for anyone who bought tickets already.

Would you go see a Lady Gaga and Kanye West tour if it was still happening?

No, she wasn't arrested... but Lady Gaga was caught without her signature style!

As you've read before in J-14 -- before Lady Gaga was the superstar (and fashion setter?!) she is today, she was just an "average schoolgirl" named Stefani Germanotta. But now check out these videos from a vintage performance of hers... before all the Gaga get-ups!

Hey J-14ers!

It's Jenna here! I just caught a sneak peek of the new DVD, Bring It On: Fight to the Finish, and it's amazing! Out of habit, I've seen every Bring It On movie since the original came out back in 2000 (I could probably recite all their cheers!)! And although in the past some of their movies have been, well, a bit disappointing (because nothing can beat the original!), this time I was pleasantly surprised on how good it was!

This fifth movie in the Bring It On series features some cool stars, like singer Christina Milian and new hottie Cody Longo who will be premiering in the remake of Fame this September! Plus their hot, new stunts and choreography will leave you wanting more! Now I don't want to give too much away, but when a new squad is formed to take down the All Star Cheer Champions, a squad of mean girls who will do anything to win, things get intense! Can you guys say, bring on the drama?

The DVD has tons of cool features, like deleted scenes, Mun2: The Chicas Project: "Flip This" where you can watch an episode of The Chicas Project where the Chicas go to a Texas cheer camp, and many more! Personally, my fave feature was "Practice Round", where you get to see choreographer Tony G teach the cast the cheer routines! I wish I could do some of the cool stunts they learned!

Plus the movie has tons of awesome music from artists like Lady Gaga, Kat DeLuna, The Veronicas, and of course, Christina Milian.

Bring It On: Fight to the Finish will be available on DVD and Blu-Ray at stores near you September 1. You guys should definitely pick it up -- I'll be practicing my cheer moves right along with you!

Love,

Your J-14 intern,
Jenna<3

Demi Lovato's new album Here We Go Again debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart! Demi's second album nabbed the top spot by selling 108,000 copies in the first week, while Jordin Sparks' Battlefield came in at No. 7.

In other album news, the Jonas Brothers' Lines, Vines, and Trying Times fell from the top ten this week, and Hannah Montana 3, the TV soundtrack went from No. 3 to No. 5. Still going strong, Taylor Swift's Fearless remains at No. 9, and has been on the charts for 37 weeks, while Lady Gaga's The Fame is No. 10, making it her 39th week on the Billboard 200!

The 19-year-old "Fire Burning" singer stopped by the J-14 office and became J14.com's Guest Editor for a Day! Check out his Top 5 Songs of the Summer:

1. Lady Gaga "LoveGame" I like the futuristic disco type of thing. She's definitely a dope artist. I love her music, she's tight.

2. Drake "Best I Ever Had" Him coming out saying that he wishes he could meet every girl in the world -- I just like whole concept.

3. Black Eyed Peas "Boom Boom Pow" This song makes me want to get up and dance. It's a catchy hook, it's easy to sing a long to, and Black Eyed Peas are great. I like Fergie, I like the way Fergie comes in on the song that whole, "I'm so 3008..." Her swag is crazy. I love her. She's just so down to earth cool.

4. Pitbull "Calle Ocho" I think that has a little Spanish vibe to it that I like. Pitbull is great. You know he represents Miami. I'm from Miami. I think it's a great record.

5. Jay-Z "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" Jay-Z is great. He's on my ipod. He's a lyricist. He's a genius. He's my favorite rapper. He's actually somebody who I look up to, I idolize.

Tomorrow night is the MuchMusic Video Awards -- it's the Canadian version of the MTV Video Music Awards -- and J-14 will be front and center for all the action!

We got to spend the whole day today backstage at the On 3 Productions Gift Lounge and saw Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, the Black Eyed Peas, and Canadian band Rise Against rehearse their performances. Even though it's a rainy day in Toronto, it didn't stop everyone from giving it their all -- even though it was only rehearsal! You know that means tomorrow they're going to bring their A Game!

The Jonas Brothers are co-hosting and performing at the big show, but they were M.I.A. today. Why, you ask? Tonight is the kickoff of their world tour in Dallas -- but they're hopping on a plane to Toronto right after the concert! (Psst! Rumor has it Miley is performing with JB tonight in Dallas. She told
J-14 last weekend that she wasn't -- guess they were really trying to keep it a secret! hehe)

J-14 will be Twittering live from the red carpet and backstage all day tomorrow! We're not going to give anything away -- but we might be hanging out with a vampire and a werewolf! ;-) So make sure to follow us on Twitter @J14magazine.

Click here to see pictures from today's rehearsals.

The MMVAs takes place tomorrow night at 9 pm ET on MuchMusic -- red carpet special at 8 pm. And no worries all you non-Canadians, the MMVAs will be on TV Guide Network in the US on June 27 at 8 pm ET/PT.

Do you like music video award shows? Do you plan on watching the MMVAs?
