Video Premiere: Miley Cyrus "We Can't Stop"

Miley Cyrus debuted her new video for the single "We Can't Stop," in which Cyrus sheds any glimmer of her early alter-ego Hannah Montana. In the video - which plays out much like the film Spring Breakers - Miley and her posse slither around a party doing abnormal, almost circus-like things, including a scene where the singer makes out with a doll in the pool.

Wait, you're still reading?!? After hearing about the doll scene?

Yeah, not much else to say after that, so just watch Cyrus and friends "twerk" around in the video premiere of "We Can't Stop" now and pick up the single on iTunes.

First Listen: Kelly Clarkson "Tie It Up"


America's first Idol, Kelly Clarkson, who has had multiplatinum success with pop anthems and power ballads, is tapping into her southern roots with her latest single "Tie It Up." The singer first hinted at a promising country career when she teamed up with her childhood idol - and future mother-in-law - Reba on the country legend's Duets record. Since then, the Texas-native has teamed with Jason Aldean for their massive hit "Don't You Wanna Stay" and with Vince Gill on the single "Don't Rush," which appeared on her Greatest Hits album last year.

Earlier this month, Clarkson took a break from recording her upcoming Christmas record to take the stage at CMA Fest at LP Field in Nashville. The crowd went wild as she delivered her biggest hits and then debuted her new country-fried single "Tie It Up." The single, out June 25th, is an homage to her upcoming nuptials to Brandon Blackstock - Reba's son-in-law and Blake Shelton's manager.

Take 5: On The Rise Artist Tiffany Houghton


We all love to know what inspires our favorite stars and we want to know what - or who - is behind our favorite lyrics. But why so serious all the time? Take 5 is Tragic Kingdom's regular feature that sheds some light on the questions that you really want to know, but might never ask.

Up next, V for Vetrano takes 5 with the on-the-rise country-pop darling Tiffany Houghton.

Take 5: Tiffany Houghton


1. Outside of music, what are three things you can't live without?

a. I absolutely love to read and I LOVE to write. Outside of music I would definitely say I couldn't live without a good book and my journals.
b. Protein smoothies. I get creative with them and drink one every morning. SO GOOD!
c. Guilty... my phone. I feel like I would be lying if I said I don't need this with me basically at all times. It's an attachment to my hand... 


2. You’ve spent time in both Nashville and LA, so what is your go-to footwear: cowboy boots or high heels?

Lately I love Chuck Taylors. I may or may not have 10 different colors of them in my closet...

3. What is your favorite ice cream flavor? And what kinds of toppings?

I'm obsessed with Pinkberry. OBSESSED. I would go there every single day and either get cookies and cream or chocolate hazelnut. If we're not talking Froyo then I would definitely say mint chocolate chip. So good. Growing up my dad and I used to meet downstairs in the kitchen after my mom had gone to bed and sneak a midnight ice cream cone. ;) We love ice cream.

4. What is your absolute favorite summer activity?

I love being on a boat - I love to slalom ski, wake board, and tube. I have so many fun summer memories of being on the lake.

5. Last question: One Direction or The Wanted? And why?

One Direction because they tell me I'm beautiful… or at least in their song they do <3

Harry Styles Heading In Another Direction?

For months rumors have been circulating that Harry Styles, one-fifth of the massive boy band One Direction, has been working on a solo project. Those rumors appeared to have been confirmed as a new single written by Styles and his rocker friend Sam McCarthy landed online over the weekend. The song immediately sent the band's fans into a frenzy and breakup rumors swirled. 

The band's rep insists that "Don't Let Me Go" is single that Styles wrote for a One Direction project that was later rejected and shoots down rumors of a breakup or tension between the band. And while it's inevitable that Styles will eventually pull a Timberlake and ditch his buddies, young ladies everywhere can rest easy for now. 

Listen to "Don't Let Me Go" below and don't forget to follow V for Vetrano on Twitter for 24/7 music news and shit-talking.
