bruno mars

The latest pop star rumored to be desired -- not to mention ideal -- for a spot on the soon-to-be-revamped 'American Idol' judging panel is none other than Bruno Mars.

The 2013 Billboard Music Awards kicked off with a bang in the form of Bruno Mars. Mars and his Smeezington buddies were clad in red pants, red jackets and black shirts. He let his curls run free, not topping his outfit with his usual fedora. There were horns, guitars, drums and, of course, that voice!

Leave it to Ellen DeGeneres and her people to discover these amazing kids. At 4 years old little Kai is truly a rising star.

Bruno Mars has a big year ahead of him thanks to the epic 'Unorthodox Jukebox' -- and he's stoked to get on the road and see fans, even though it's a little overwhelming ... and at times heartbreaking. Let him explain!

Bruno Mars is No. 1 again! It's getting to be old-hat, or old-fedora, in his case. The crooner notched his fifth No. 1 hit with the heartfelt ballad 'When I Was Your Man' -- you know, the one that he got all emotional performing on 'Ellen.'

If I asked you what Pauly Shore and Bruno Mars have in common and you said "nothing" you'd be wrong!  Take a look at Pauly Shore conducting a very Pauly Shore-esque interview with the adorable "Little Elvis" Bruno Mars! Did you know that he also played "Little Elvis" in the movie "Honeymoon in Vegas...

Bruno Mars fans rejoice, your chance to see him perform live has come, as he bring his World Tour to St. Paul this summer!

Ellen Degeneres does it again making one super Bruno Mars fan very happy as she got a very special dance with the man himself, live on Ellen's show.

Bruno Mars is going on tour! Okay, that's not such a huge surprise, since he's been hinting at a tour for weeks. He finally made the news official during a visit to 'Ellen,' where he revealed the title of the trek: The Moonshine Jungle World Tour.

Grammy collaborations don't always work, but when they do, they can be amazing. That was the case for the 2013 Grammys' powerful tribute to late reggae star Bob Marley, which featured Bruno Mars, Sting and Rihanna joined by two of Marley's sons.

Being Bruno Mars' sisters has its obvious perks. But when you are beautiful, talented and in a vocal group together, well, being Bruno's siblings can be a sidenote! The Lylas, the group comprised of Mars' four sisters, will be the subject of an upcoming WE Tv docu-series.

Rihanna was already confirmed as performer for the 2013 Grammy Awards, but today comes word that she'll be joined on stage by two of pop music's most respected gentlemen, Bruno Mars and Sting. The Recording Academy announced the news in a press release that also revealed that Record of the Year nominee Kelly Clarkson will be performing during the ceremony.
