• Preview David Guetta, Afrojack and Nicki Minaj's Upcoming Single 'Hey Mama' from 'Listen' [LISTEN]

    With just eight days until the release of his sixth artist album "Listen," David Guetta has unveiled one of the most high-profile collaborations on the album with Afrojack and Nicki Minaj. The 1 minute 30 second preview for "Hey Mama" gives us a taste of what we should expect from the three frequent collaborators, via "Capital FM." David Guetta and Nicki Minaj have had success on previous Guetta albums with tracks like "Turn Me On" and "Where Them Girls At" alongside Flo Rida.Though Afrojack was not listed in the initial batch of collaborators on the album tracklist, it is not surprising to see his name on this album with how strong a relationship he has with David Guetta. "Hey Mama" has the pitched up dutch electro sound you expect from Afrojack, but catered to a pop audience that allows Nicki Minaj's vocals to flow over it and should make this one another big hit for Guetta.He recently spoke to "Rolling Stone" about the making of the album and the process of writing the songs.

  • Trisha Yearwood Says This Garth Brooks Tour Is Different Thanks to New Role, Great Crowds

    Trisha Yearwood had been on the road twice with husband Garth Brooks before the couple set off on Brooks's comeback tour this fall.This time, though, her role is much different."When I toured with Garth the other two times, I opened for him," she told "USA Today." "The first time we toured together, I never was on stage with him. And so in '98, I would come out and maybe do one song, and then that would be it. So this is a really new experience for me to come out in the middle of his show and do a full set."Yearwood admitted she was nervous to hit the road this time around."I didn't know how I would be received," she said. "I thought, 'Well, I'll be shiny quarter for a song or two, but what is really gonna happen?' And it's been wonderful. They've been so welcoming, and they sing all the songs. Those crowds. There's nothing like those crowds. I've always said that there's nothing like a Garth crowd."She has also got a TV career to maintain while away from home. The Boot noted that "Trisha's Southern Kitchen" is an Emmy-winning show.

  • 'The Hunger Games' Cast Sings Taylor Swift On 'Saturday Night Live' [WATCH]

    Woody Harrelson hosted "Saturday Night Live" this weekend and decided to give a national TV audience a 1989 education.Upset that Taylor Swift does not know anything about '89 — she named her newest album after her birth year — Harrelson attempted to provide some context but soon realized he had participated in too many ... er ... "recreational activities" to remember things clearly."It was 25 years almost to the day since the first time I hosted "Saturday Night Live" in 1989," Harrelson said. "But with all due respect to Ms. Swift, I think I know a little bit more about 1989 than she does — even if the memories are a little fuzzy, because of the drugs."After someone handed him an acoustic guitar, Harrelson began a choppy parody of "Blank Space." Soon, he was joined onstage by fellow "Hunger Games" stars Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and Jennifer Lawrence.
