How about some Hunter Parrish news to brighten your day? The multi-talented actor/musician has just unveiled his first official single, "Sitting At Home," which is now available to download via iTunes. Go ahead, give it a listen. We challenge you to not get the catchy tune stuck in your head.

MTV News was lucky enough to sit down with the very humble charmer recently to get some inside info on the story behind the music, which despite the "newness" of this single, he's been working on since he was just 14 years old.

Posted 6/12/12 6:30 pm EST by in Music News, The Twitter Nation

Forget Rosewood's resident jailbirds, it's all about the city's songbirds. "Pretty Little Liars" star Lucy Hale announced via Twitter today that she's landed a contract with Hollywood Records!

Lucy added that the album would be, "diff from anything you've ever heard from the label and not what you'd expect from me. Thanks for the support!"

The almost-23-year-old (her birthday is on Thursday!) is no stranger to the mic, as she got her big break on the now-defunct teen version of "American Idol" called "American Juniors."

It's Raining Men: 'Magic Mike' Soundtrack List Is Here!

Posted 5/22/12 11:52 am EST by in Movie News, Movies, Music News

Channing TatumBefore we go any further, we might as well acknowledge that absolutely nobody is going to see "Magic Mike" for its musical soundtrack and that we'd just as happily watch Channing Tatum and Joe Manganiello whip off their pants and gyrate to the greatest hits of Milli Vanilli or a dramatic reading of the local phone book, all things considered. But! It's still interesting to see what the male revue will be busting a move to when the movie hits theaters this summer—you know, academically speaking—and today, the track list is out for perusal on the Billboard website. So, what've we got?

More or less what you'd expect! Including lots of danceable tracks that make a good accompaniment for dudely hip-thrusting and—of course—a cover of "It's Raining Men" (a.k.a. a song required by law to appear on the soundtrack of any/every movie about male strippers). The full rundown of songs from the film is after the jump!

'Glee' News: Britney Spears Gets Second Tribute Episode, Kate Hudson Role Revealed

Posted 5/15/12 3:04 pm EST by in Casting News, Music News, TV News

The "Glee" news just keeps on coming this week! Following the announcement that Sarah Jessica Parker and Kate Hudson will guest star in season four, Chris Colfer slipped on "Live! With Kelly" and said that Kate, whose part was being kept under wraps, is playing a mentor role of sorts to Rachel Berry (Lea Michele). And you can bet Kate will be singing and dancing with the best of them! But that's not the only exciting news: Entertainment Weekly is reporting that a tribute episode for pop queen Britney Spears is also in the works!

The episode will be the second of "Glee"'s fourth season and will feature eight of Britney's songs. But unlike "Glee's" "Britney/Brittany," this tribute will not center around Brittany S. Pearce (Heather Morris) and Britney is not scheduled to appear (although EW says the show's producers are trying to work out a deal!).

Posted 5/14/12 6:39 pm EST by in Casting News, Music News, The Twitter Nation, TV News

It's official, Lovatics! Our beloved Demi Lovato is going to be a judge on the next season of "The X Factor"! She's rounding out the judges table of series creator Simon Cowell, music executive L.A. Reid and pop music sensation Britney Spears. Whew, these contestants are going to have one hell of a group to impress.

MTV News asked a few experts their thoughts on the show's two newbies, and Celebuzz editor Amber James predicted Demi's "bubbly personality" will break Britney out of her shell. "They seem like they'd bounce off each other well and provide a nurturing and safe atmosphere, where Britney can really get into her role, without fear of saying the wrong thing and truly be herself," she said.

Vote In MTV's Battle Of The Boy Bands!

Posted 4/24/12 4:54 pm EST by in Eye Candy, Music News, Videos

Ah, boy bands. The hip-thrusting, lyric-crooning, hair-gelled hunks of our daydreams. It started with our mothers swooning over the Monkees and the Beatles and streamed into the 90's and early aughts with 'NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys. Now with the current US takeover by British sensations One Direction and the Wanted, boy bands are making a comeback...and thank the pop gods! We can finally listen to our O-Town Pandora playlist without getting funny looks.

With the re-birth of the boy band, MTV is hosting the first-ever Battle of the Boy Bands, where fans will determine who earns the title of Greatest Boy Band of All Time. (*cough* 'NSYNC *cough*) Along with the bands mentioned above, the first round has Westlife, LFO and 98 Degrees among the 32 crews competing for the title. Round one of voting closes on Thursday at noon ET so make sure to vote for your favorite boy band ('NSYNC!) so they advance to the next round! It all leads up to the announcement of the winner on May 7. In the meantime, our beloved boys are campaigning for your support (how could you ever turn down the Wanted's cute British accents?)

"We’re not sure. We haven’t really heard, so we know as much as you,” the floppy haired Harry Styles confessed to MTV News recently. “We’re just waiting to find out, well, so, maybe.”
