The Script recently stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to perform their hit single “Breakeven.” The Irish trio has sold over 2 million albums worldwide, and have been the opening act for some of the biggest names in music including Paul McCartney and U2. Now the group is preparing to hit the road with David Cook on a countrywide tour. Take a look at their performance here and check out all of the upcoming tour dates at the bands official site and MySpace.

Catch TEN Gossip with WillowRaine and I as we live blog the MTV Video Music Awards tonight starting at 9EST.  Russell Brand is hosting again this year, so we all know it won’t be boring. See you all back here then!

I don’t write about Britney Spears much but when I saw her perform You Oughta Know in Greenboro, North Carolina the other night. I had to post it. I know that I always was belting out the original version of it when it first came out. I love it when artists do popular songs like this as covers. And when they do a good job it’s even better. (This is coming from a person who has been listening to The Fray’s cover of Heartless on repeat all weekend.) The quality of the video might not be the best but you can get the feeling anyways.

We saw Britney Spears in a bikini for the the shooting of this commercial here and finally we get to see what it was for. Britney and Russell Brand shot a VMA Music Award commercial for the second year in a row. I actually laughed at this one a couple of times watching it. I have to admit that I didn’t like Russell until I watched him last year hosting the awards show.

WillowRaine and I will be live blogging it on TEN Gossip on September 13th. More details on that to come.

Catch TEN Gossip live here tonight at 8EST when we (taylor blue and WillowRaine) will be live blogging the 2009 Teen Choice Awards when they air on FOX. We are excited to bring you all the action since we have been staying away from the spoilers all day!

MySpace’s The List welcomed The All-American Rejects for an exclusive session in front of a roaring Dallas crowd, all captured in high-def! Tyson, Nick, Mike and Chris rocked out a special 6 song set featuring a handful of tracks from the band’s latest release When The World Comes Down including hits “Gives You Hell” and “I Wanna” as well as “Dirty Little Secret” from the band’s double-platinum album Move Along. The Rejects pulled out all the stops for this wicked performance including an acoustic ballad with “Mona Lisa” and the beautifully performed “Another Heart Calls” featuring indie pop act The Pierces.

Catch The All-American Reject’s The List performance on MySpace, and make sure to pick up your copy of When The World Comes Down today!

The highlights of the performances are after the jump…

You have to admit that Tyson Ritter looks adorable today! The All-American Rejects performed their song ‘I Wanna’ on the Today Show this morning. I love how much fun they are looking like they are having so much fun. Especially Tyson going into the audience to get manhandled by the girls.

Tyson talks about how they lock themselves in a room and drink in order to write songs sometimes. I think that’s a great idea. I call alcohol the truth serum. What a great way to write passionate songs. My favorite song by AAR is still “Gives You Hell” I could listen to that song over and over all day and not get sick of it.

Rob Thomas has to be one of my favorite music artists ever. I can name a million songs of his that I like of his songs while he’s been on his own and when he was with Matchbox Twenty. He has this unique sound and that’s what makes me like him.

Rob has released his first live concert, Live at Red Rocks, captured in High-Definition and mixed in 5.1 Surround Sound for the acclaimed PBS music series Soundstage, the 18-song concert features seven songs not seen on the original 2007 television broadcast plus the music video for “Streetcorner Symphony.” This is a must own. The DVD was released in conjunction with his new Emblem/Atlantic Records solo album, cradlesong. It made June 30 the most anticipated music date for Rob ever.

Here is the set list for the DVD.

1. Something To Be
2. Fallin’ To Pieces
3. If You’re Gone
4. When The Heartache Ends*
5. Ever The Same
6. Not Just A Woman*
7. 3AM
8. You Won’t Be Mine*
9. The Difference*
10. Bent
11. Problem Girl*
12. Let’s Dance
13. Lonely No More
14. I Am An Illusion
15. Now Comes the Night*
16. Smooth
17. You Know Me*
18. This Is How A Heart Breaks
*not included in original PBS broadcast

I of course enjoyed the performances of Smooth and Bent. I think those are two of my favorite songs. Here’s a preview of the concert, Rob singing 3 AM.

I have to admit this to everyone, Nickelback is one of my favorite groups ever. They are from the province I live in (Alberta) and I quite enjoy their music. I don’t know why Canada is so down on them, they even have radio stations that advertise that they don’t play Nickelback on their station. I think that they rock. I could literally listen to their song How You Remind Me over and over all day and not get bored.

March 10th the Nickelback Live at Sturgis (totally uncensored, and I mean nudity here!) DVD was released. This high definition DVD was filmed in front of 35,000 fans at the world-famous Rockin’ the Rally show in Sturgis, South Dakota in 2006, and is now being offered with unedited content as well as bonus features that include a behind-the-scenes featurette and the Rockstar music video.

The track list is as follows…Animals, Woke Up This Morning, Photograph, Because Of You, Far Away, Never Again, Savin’ Me, Someday, Side Of A Bullet, How You Remind Me, Too Bad and Figured You Out.

I really enjoyed watching this concert. I have always wanted to see them live and never got a chance to see them. And I can’t get over how blue Chad Kroeger’s eyes are!

I think Anderson Cooper is adorable…and even in this clip he’s adorable. Is he drunk? Maybe…it seems like people worked the next day after going to Inauguration parties and drinking the night before. I really feel like I need to help Anderson with pronouncing every word. Anderson..if you ever need private lessons…call me!
