Lady GaGa Performs at Vevo Launch

On Tuesday night, YouTube and Universal Music Group visited New York’s Skylight Studio to celebrate the launch of lovechild Vevo, a high-quality music video streaming site that Universal, EMI and Sony have tapped into.

And what celebration would be complete without a leg-on-the-piano performance by Lady GaGa??

GaGa performed, drink in hand, for the A-list crowd, which included folks like Bono, Pete Wentz, John Mayer, Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, Tommy Mottola, Taylor Swift, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, Justin Timberlake, Gavin DeGraw, Shania Twain, Clive Davis, L.A. Reid, Sheryl Crow, Adam Lambert and Justin Bieber!

Not a bad turn-out!!

Check out pics from the night, below.

Leighton Meester "Performs" at American Eagle Opening in Times Square

We knew Leighton Meester couldn’t sing. And now all of Manhattan knows it too!

The Gossip Girl delusionary performed a four-song set at the American Eagle store opening Tuesday night in Times Square, while castmates Sebastian Stan, Michelle Trachtenberg and Jessica Szohr cheered her on.

Cheered? Or laughed! Judging by Szohr’s face, we’re leaning towards the latter.

Also in the house were Pete Wentz on the turntable, Adrien Grenier and Adrienne Bailon.

Surely one of these people has the balls to tell Meester to quit while she’s ahead!

Quote of the Day

“Honestly, I do want to apologize to the world for being the grandfather of 1,000 bad haircuts.”

Happy Two Year, Pete!

It’s a great night to be a New Yorker!!!

Especially a night like Thursday, when Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz was serving drinks to guests at the two-year anniversary of his NYC club, Angels & Kings!

Check out the bartender’s face!

Priceless!

Ashlee and Pete ‘Fornicate’ at MTV Awards

Ashlee Simpson joined husband Pete Wentz onstage during the MTV Australia Awards Friday night for a very long and very public makeout sesh.

“Sorry, we haven’t seen each other in awhile,” Wentz apologized, before the couple exited the stage holding hands. “We’re going to go and find some quiet time and fornicate somewhere.”

I guess this clears up all those rumors of turmoil?
