All Time Low, Third Eye Blind Frontmen Bond At Bamboozle

‘I was nervous when you guys first joined on,’ ATL’s Alex Gaskarth tells Stephan Jenkins. ‘I’m a fan.’ By Joel Hanek All Time Low’s Alex Gaskarth and Third Eye Blind’s Stephan Jenkins Photo: MTV News The eclectic traveling carnival that is the Bamboozle Roadshow came to an end over the weekend in Boston, but the “bro”-bonds that were formed on tour will go on. MTV News followed the action all week, catching up with all of the acts, from pop-punkers Boys Like Girls and Good Charlotte to electro-funksters LMFAO and 3OH!3. While the acts were diverse, one common theme among the musicians was their near-unanimous tendency to geek out over fellow headliners Third Eye Blind, with many calling the band one of the biggest influences on the current generation of rock groups. On the penultimate tour stop, at New York’s Nassau Coliseum, we caught up with All Time Low singer Alex Gaskarth and listened in on his talk with one of his musical idols, Third Eye Blind frontman Stephan Jenkins. It turns out the two were not only fans of one another, but also formed a newfound friendship. “A couple days [into the tour], I saw you guys play, and you guys are like this ongoing sea of energy,” Jenkins told Gaskarth. “That, and you guys have the best banter, because what you do every night it’s so changed up … it’s really authentic.” Gaskarth repaid the compliment, recounting how nearly every night on the Bamboozle fest, everyone met up by the stage to catch a glimpse of Third Eye Blind’s set . On a few dates, Gaskarth was even lucky enough to join the band onstage for a performance of their mega-hit “Jumper.” “I think that was the craziest thing about when you guys actually did join on the tour — one of the big things was we’re a different generation of bands — a lot of us were nervous,” Gaskarth admitted. “I can say I was nervous when you guys first joined on,” he added. “I’m a fan. It’s always like kicking down that wall of ‘do I approach?’ ” With the Roadshow over, both bands are keeping busy. Third Eye Blind plan to record a new album, while All Time Low will be on the road through 2010. Did you catch the Bamboozle Roadshow this year? Who was your favorite act on the lineup?

Nicki Minaj Denies Lip-Synching At BET Awards

‘U could hear me in the auditorium but apparently not in TV land,’ she tweets. By Mawuse Ziegbe Nicki Minaj Photo: Frederick M. Brown/ Getty Images Nicki Minaj was one of the biggest winners at Sunday night’s BET Awards , taking home Best Female Hip-Hop Artist and Best New Artist and scoring a collective trophy with Young Money for Best Group. The saucy upstart has made a name for herself with her rollicking flow , but fans were buzzing about what didn’t come out of her mouth at the show, accusing the rap diva of lip-synching through her performances. Minaj took to Twitter on Monday (June 28) to dispel rumors that she didn’t bring all her skills to the stage. “U could hear me in the auditorium but apparently not in TV land,” she tweeted . The star also added that technical difficulties were at play. “Shout out to the sound guy.” However, the “Massive Attack” rapper assured fans that the sound issues will be cleared up when the network rebroadcasts the show. “They say it’ll b fixed wen it re-airs. :/” Overall, it was a busy night for Minaj. After winning Best Female Hip-Hop Artist (a trophy she scored solely on the strength of her mixtapes and work with Young Money, since the star has not yet dropped a major-label debut) and calling for “positive energy” among women in hip-hop, the MC popped up in two different performances. She emerged from a cloud of smoke in a skintight catsuit and spit her rapid-fire verse for the remix of “Hello, Good Morning” during Diddy-Dirty Money’s performance. She also helped close out the show, performing her collabo with Ludacris, “My Chick Bad,” with M

Vuvuzela: SA football’s beautiful noise

What’s plastic, a metre long, brightly coloured and sounds like an elephant? It’s the vuvuzela, the noise-making trumpet of South African football fans, and it’s come to symbolise the sport in the country. It’s an instrument, but not always a musical one. Describing the atmosphere in a stadium packed with thousands of fans blowing their vuvuzelas is difficult. Up close it’s an elephant, sure, but en masse the sound is more like a massive swarm of very angry bees. And when there’s action near the goal mouth, those bees go really crazy. To get that sound out requires lip flexibility and lung strength – in short, a fair amount of technique. So be sure to get in some practice before attending a South African football match, or you the sound you produce may cause some amusement in the seats around you! Vuvuzela supplier Boogieblast offers this advice: “Put your lips inside the mouthpiece and almost make a ‘farting’ sound. Relax your cheeks and let your lips vibrate inside the mouthpiece. As soon as you get that trumpeting sound, blow harder until you reach a ridiculously loud ‘boogying blast’. Read here

What’s On: S-P-E-L-L-D-O-W-N

Oh, hell yes. The Scripps National Spelling Bee is back, and the stakes are high. The winning middle-schooler walks off with $30,000, savings bonds, a reference library, an unrealistically expensive Encyclopedia Britannica set, and a trophy the height of a hot freshman. You won’t soon forget the sound of the bell that rings when a contestant misspells — unless you’ve built a drinking game around that moment, in which case you’ll cherish it and cackle along with me.

Scarlett Johansson Hides Her Assets

It’s kind of impressive how well Scarlett Johansson can cover up her rather plump breasts, impressive and really annoying that is. Here she is at some event the other night in a dress that would best be described by the sound of a baby vomiting. She looks like she could be working at a diner. That’s not true, the women at the diner show more tit than this, they live off their tips. Sure she’s pretty, and I know that somewhere under there are a great pair of tits, I just want to see them from time to time. Is that too much to ask?
