He entered rehab shortly after, then again in 2008, at which point Donny Osmond was pulled in to replace him—but after Osmond refused the position, O'Brien returned to his post. He's

Beyonce \"Diva\" & \"Halo\" Video Premieres + Single Covers
HaloBoth Beyonce & Sasha Fierce bring us new videos today. Sasha is back in full force with "Diva." I really enjoyed the "Diva" video. The dancing is on-point. Beyonce has "Halo" to offer. Although I was pleased with the return of color, I found the video for "Halo" boring &, dangit, too bright! Also, what's with the actor anyway? We already have set in our minds that she's with Jay-Z, so I don't buy it. I will say, however, that I find these two single choices stronger than the first tw

BEYONCE - \"HALO\" & \"DIVA\" VIDEOS
The video premieres for the second pair of singles lifted off Beyonce's current album, "I Am...Sasha Fierce" debut onto the blogosphere. "Halo" taken off the "I Am..." side has actor Michael Ealy as her leading man and "Diva" (off the "Sasha Fierce" side) was directed by Melina. I prefer the Phillip Andleman-directed "Halo" video more out of the two because of how real the chemistry between Mrs. Carter and Mr. Ealy came across. "Diva" is where Beyonce's alter ego Sasha Fierce lets loose and she

No. 40: Max Martin And Dr. Luke Infiltrate Rock Radio [80 '08 (And Heartbreak)]
One of the stranger turning points in recent pop history occurred around 2004, when songs like Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" signaled a full shift in white Top 40 toward uptempo guitar rock, completing the trend that had begun a few years earlier with Avril Lavigne's first hits. It felt like a regime change from the bombastic synth pop of the Britney/Backstreet era, and it would've been, if not for the fact that the same producer, Swedish pop mastermind Max Martin, was behind both "…Baby One More T
