• George Ezra Makes SNL Debut With 'Budapest,' 'Blame It On Me,' Host The Rock Sings 'Franchise Viagra' [WATCH]

    New British up-and-comer George Ezra performed two of his hit singles this weekend, during The Rock-hosted episode of Saturday Night Live. Marking his biggest U.S. television performance to date, the folk singer delivered joyous renditions of "Budapest" and "Blame It On Me" off his debut studio album Wanted On Voyage. Interestingly, he was sort of dressed like the top half of that meme of The Rock from the '80s, if only he also had on the jeans and fanny pack, and if that black top were a turtleneck.

  • Zayn Malik Quits One Direction: Band Removes Vocalist from Tour Montage Video, Assigns Solo Parts

    The world of One Direction was rocked last week when—just after leaving the band's "On The Road Again" Tour—Zayn Malik officially quit the boy band. The group has continued on the tour as Directioners continue to recover from the trauma (as reported by our own Carolyn Menyes last week), but obvious logistical issues have come to the fore: What happens to band merchandise that still features Malik prominently (aka most of it)? The group hasn't quite figured that issue out yet but it has solved a slightly simpler issue, apparently having successfully edited the vocalist out of the band's opening montage video for last weekend's show in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Cole. Though J. Cole was not originally listed on the initial tracklist release, it was known that he was one of the few features on the album.
