TWIST just got back from the Jingle Ball 2012 pre-show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City! We rocked out with Cher Lloyd, Bridgit Mendler, Ed Sheeran and Olly Murs. All of the celebs were so psyched to show fans a good time. Cher Lloyd got fans pumped with her new song "Oath" and she totally loved the crowd's energy! She tweeted, "Had a great time at the Hammerstein Ballroom, great crowd!" Bridgit Mendler surprised fans with tons of new music from her debut album Hello My Name Is and she even took pics with the audience from on-stage. Ed Sheeran led an awesome sing-along to his song "Lego House" and brought down the stage with a performance of "You Need Me, I Don't Need You." We loved that Olly Murs flirted with fans and even showed off his dance moves during his performance of "Heart Skips a Beat." Check out our exclusive pics from the pre-show below!

Harry Styles and Taylor Swift are taking their relationship to the next level! Sources say, Harry is designing a new ring for Taylor's birthday. An insider spills, "Harry really is the ultimate romantic, very sentimental and generous. He's only just getting to know Taylor but as her birthday is coming up next week he wants to buy something lovely for her [...] Harry is really trying to woo Taylor off her feet." The pair was recently spotted holding hands out in NYC and Harry just flew on Taylor's private jet back to London instead of flying with his band mates. OMG! What do the other 1D hotties think of "Haylor?" Louis dished, "I'm happy they're good friends and she's a really lovely girl." Still, they're trying to keep things quiet - when TWIST saw Taylor on Friday night at Z100's Jingle Ball, she only smiled when asked about her new guy and chose not to answer any questions.

OMG! One TWIST reader had a totally embarrassing moment in gym class!

During gym class and we had a sit up test. I was next to my crush, so I decided to show off. I was on my 15th sit up when I farted! I was so humiliated. I got up and went, crying, to the rest room. During the week, my crush and his friends were making fun of me!!

TWIST just hung out with DJ Danny Avila at our offices! We got the inside scoop on his latest single "Breaking Your Fall," who he wants to collaborate with and what's up next for him! Check out our exclusive convo and video shout-out to TWIST readers below, and make sure to check out "Breaking Your Fall" on Beatport!

XOXO,
TWIST

TWIST: Your new song "Breaking Your Fall" came out recently. Can you tell us more about it?
Danny Avila: I just came out with it in the studio. I came up with a couple of melodies and one of them was the "Breaking Your Fall" melody. Then, I had three or four different vocals, and one of them fit perfectly.

TWIST: How would you describe your sound?
DA: Generally, I play big room stuff that's very energetic: a bit of house, a bit of electro, but sometimes I play a bit more techie, or a bit dub-step, so I change a little bit.

TWIST: Who would you say are your musical influences?
DA: I have a lot of influences. Dennis Coyu is such a great influence for me. I also have some techie influences, because I used to play more tech-house stuff about three years ago.

TWIST: Who would you want to collaborate with in the future?
DA: I would say Madonna! We went to her concert recently and she was so incredible -- such an amazing concert. And she's definitely the queen of pop music.

TWIST: What do you like most about touring?
DA: Actually everything! I like to discover new venues and new places to travel. It's a bit tiring, but I love it.

TWIST: What's next for you?
DA: I'm touring pretty much every weekend and most of the shows are in the States. I also have my new track "Breaking Your Fall." Then we have an incredible remix package coming out. I love the remixes so much -- I'm already playing them. And afterwards, I think I will go just back to the studio and keep working on music, and then keep touring, playing and pretty much doing what I'm doing right now.

TWIST: Thanks so much for coming in!
DA: Thank you.

TWIST just chatted with Ryan Newman from Nickelodeon's See Dad Run! Ryan gave us the deets on what it's like shooting the show's first season and even shared her fave prank memory from on set. Check out the exclusive convo below!

XOXO,
TWIST

TWIST: How's the first season of See Dad Run going?
Ryan: I couldn't ask for anything more. It's so much fun, and we're a big family now.

TWIST: What's been your favorite part about shooting See Dad Run?
Ryan: Everything is so amazing. The cast, crew, scripts, my character, and even my wardrobe is just so perfect.

TWIST: What's your favorite episode of See Dad Run?
Ryan: My favorite episode that's aired is "See Dad Run: One Night Only." I had so much fun filming it. The best part about being an actress is being able to make people laugh over and over again at the same jokes.

TWIST: Is there something about Emily that makes her stand out to you?
Ryan: She's super fashionable, kind of spunky, and she has some younger siblings so she gets to be a little sassy with them. You can see that Emily really cares about her siblings. At first she's just like a normal teenager who doesn't want to be around her little siblings or to take care of them but she learns that they're only little for so long.

TWIST: Can you share a prank memory from either on or off set?
Ryan: We haven't had many pranks but surprisingly when it did happen it was Bailey Michelle Brown who scared us. Jackson and I were rehearsing a scene where we had to go downstairs together, so we were waiting up at the top and after we rehearsed the scene and went back up Bailey popped out from around the corner and screamed boo. It was just so surprising and scary.

TWIST: Does the cast hang out off set?
Ryan: Yes, we've gone bowling and to the movies. We even watch episodes together!

TWIST: What's next for you?
Ryan: I'll be working on See Dad Run and working on my music. Hopefully everyone will be able to hear it soon.

TWIST: Thanks Ryan!
Ryan: Thanks TWIST!

Justin Bieber was recently snubbed for a Grammy nomination, and Simon Cowell thinks it's unfair!

Meanwhile, Justin is moving past his Grammy setback. He gushes, "Thank you to all my beautiful fans out there. You know, I don't need a Grammy to have your love.

TWIST just chatted with the band Boys Like Girls! We got the inside scoop on their new album Crazy World, their songwriting process, and what's up next for them! Check out our exclusive convo below, and make sure to pick up Crazy World, available on iTunes now!

XOXO,
TWIST

TWIST: How would you describe your new album Crazy World?
Boys Like Girls: On Crazy World, we tried a bunch of new things, and stayed away from the big wall of guitars.

TWIST: How does Crazy World differ from your previous albums?
BLG: It was written in Nashville. We had a bunch of friends and awesome musicians collaborate on it.

TWIST: Is there a song on the album that is particularly meaningful for you? If so, which one?
BLG: "Life of the Party" its a really cool track. It was awesome having some gospel singers come out and sing at the end.

TWIST: What's your songwriting process like?
BLG: Martin gets into a room, shows us some stuff and we just get after it.

TWIST: Who are some of your musical influences?
BLG: Some of my influences are bands like Nirvana, and Pearl Jamm ¬-- I loved the grunge era and am also very much into bands like Coldplay, and some newer bands, like The Lumineers.

TWIST: If you could work with any current artist, who would it be and why?
BLG: I would love to play drums in the Foo Fighters, or play drums for Jay-Z. I think that would be awesome.

TWIST: What's next for you? Do you have plans to tour?
BLG: Right now we just put our record out on Dec 11th, which we are super excited about! I am sure there will be a tour to follow.

TWIST just got off the phone with Chase Kroesche! We got the inside scoop on his new single "1-2-3," his upcoming EP, and what's next for him! Check out our exclusive convo below, and make sure to check out "1-2-3" on iTunes now!

XOXO,
TWIST

TWIST: How would you describe your sound?
CK: I'd say that my sound is guitar-based pop music that has a sort of hip-hop beat based sound to it. I try and write music that makes people feel good.

TWIST: What would TWIST readers love about your music?
CK: What I try to do is write songs that anyone can enjoy. I've never really written a song to get something off my chest or say something too serious. I'd rather write music because it makes me happy and that's what I try and convey.

TWIST: What's the story behind your single, "1-2-3?"
CK: Well "1-2-3" started, believe it or not, as a complete joke! A friend of mine came to me and she asked me to write her a song. I thought I'd mess with her a little bit, so I decided to write the dumbest possible, silliest pop song that I could imagine. I decided to listen to what I had come up with and I realized that in just letting go and writing a song for the enjoyment of writing, I'd come up with something really special.

TWIST: Tell us more about your upcoming EP!
CK: The EP is all original except for one song -- we did one sort of dance cover of an old 80s hit, which will be a nice surprise on the album. The songs are all either 100% original, like "1-2-3," or co-written.

TWIST: Who would you say are your musical influences?
CK: I woke up this morning and I went on my run and I listened to part of the new Ke$ha record -- I love it. And then I got back and I threw on some Christmas music when I was back in my dorm getting ready, and then right before I called you I was listening to some country. I just sort of listen to whatever keeps my interest.

TWIST: Who would you love to collaborate with if you could?
CK: There are so many great artists. As far as writers, I'd love to collaborate with Dark Child. He's a producer who worked with Justin Bieber on his single "As Long As You Love Me." So he's an amazing, amazing writer.

TWIST: What's next for you?
CK: Right now, as you know, we've just released the single. It's promoting that and I'm going to look for other writing opportunities. Maybe near the end of January, we'll be releasing the full EP and in combination with that I'm going to be doing some shows back home in Utah. And then just make some more music!

Justin Bieber is set to perform at Dick Clark's 2013 New Year's Rockin Eve on the West Coast! He will kick off the New Year with many of your fave celebs, including Taylor Swift. OMG! Hopefully Selena Gomez will support her BFF, Taylor, and her on-again off-again BF, Justin, at the event. The pair has not been spotted together recently even though they just set new relationship rules. A source dished that Jelena was last together at LA's Jingle Ball: "Justin had a lot of people wanting to take pictures with him and talk to him at the Jingle Ball 'meet and greet' after the show and he just made sure to include Selena in everything. It's like he really made an effort to make her feel like his princess." But by the end of the night, another source dished that they got into a fight, spilling, "Selena was in Justin's dressing room, and she stormed off. She got into her car and started to drive away. Justin knocked on the window, but she sped right past him." Oh no!
