You don’t have to have the radio on for more than five minutes before Nicki Minaj is asking for “Your Love”, Drake is asking to “Find Your Love” and Trey Songz is talking about those “Love Faces” you used to make.  With so much play time, these artists are obviously having a monstrously good time on the charts.

So it’s no surprise they’ve captured our attention and got us wondering what’s behind the pink wig and distracting muscles. What could they possibly be hiding? How about their real names? If the theory that resume-friendly names get the interview shouldn’t there be some truth to the fact that attractive names get the iTunes download or radio play? Even fame monster Lady Gaga knew Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta would take her but only so far.

We did a little digging and discovered a long list of hot celebrities who dumped their real name for a bright, chart-topping stage name. We wrapped them up in a fun quiz to see how many you can guess correctly. Some might stump you.

Has “Basketball Wives” star Royce Reed lost her mind? Pictures have surfaced of her son Braylon (with NBA baller Dwight Howard) in a bedroom of hers that seems too “adult” for such innocent eyes.

Rumored couple Amber Rose and Amare Stoudemire were spotted together AGAIN in New York at the restaurant Cafeteria on Saturday (December 18). See them in the gallery below!

Rumors began swirling when Amber was seen at his Knicks vs. Celtics game last week.

The person who snapped the photo claimed they saw the two “after the clubs got out at 4am,” saying Amare walked in “with none other than Amber Rose on his arm,” and that they were surprised at “how public they were being standing outside.”

We’re surprised too, considering Amare’s still engaged to his fiance (and mother of their two kids) Alexis.

Alexis has already got wind of Amber’s conniving ways. A source says, “[Alexis] knows that there are other women, but she’s not going to sit back and allow [Amber Rose] to use Amare to boost her celebrity. She will not allow Amare to disgrace her and their family like that.”

See Alexis below (and see pics of Amare and Amber in the gallery!)

“I said I’m the mother of 3 children and a wife. My life is very nice. I don’t want to complicate it. I just didn’t feel comfortable with that kind of thing. I see the offer as something to tell my grand kids one day. But nothing more.”

Lady Gaga is always going to the extremes in order to maintain her Avant Guarde image. While this can easily be viewed as her attempt at remaining relevant, interesting and popular, a recent shoot may have proven that the theatrics are not necessary in her quest to do so. In what we consider her most interesting photo shoot to date, Gaga poses as a man, channeling a more suave, toned down, androgynous image of herself. The images will be featured in Vogue Hommes Japan. Take a look at the shots below:

Being that Gaga is bisexual, perhaps this shoot was merely an ode to the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual community with which she identifies. On the other hand, it may be evidence that Gaga is not merely a fame mongering pop star pushing the limits of entertainment simply for the sake of album sales, but rather a truly insightful artist pushing the limits of creativity.

You decide: art or entertainment?

Check out Gaga’s normal swag in the gallery below:

As we mourn the one year anniversary of the King-of-pop’s death, we also celebrate his legacy which lives on even in his physical absence. Michael Jackson had a roller coaster of a life and career, marked by peaks and valleys, each of which he managed to conquer. Here is a visual reminder of what an amazing artist Jackson was.

Check out Michael in his natural habitat: the stage.

Michael Jackson: Timeline Of Style

Michael Jackson was more than the greatest musical legend of any recent generation; he was a fashion icon. He became known by one single accessory: the glove. Back in the day, that infamous red jacket was worn by many an older brother during their break-dancing phases. Later,  the military jackets and face masks would become his staples. Recently, Jackson became noted by the fashionable powers that be for his love of Balmain; the embellished jackets and grand price tags were just up his alley. Let us take a look back at the original King of Style.
