IM5 has a brand new mash-up music video! Mixing two chart-topping singles, “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen & “Payphone” by Maroon 5 and Wiz Kahlifa, the band made a hilarious video to lay over their mash-up track. Check it out above!

International superstar Justin Bieber attempted another shot at his hit single “Boyfriend” last night at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. While we LOVE the remix Justin threw together, paired with brilliant dancing, we are not crazy about the performance, considering it was obvious when Justin was singing and lip=synching. The Billboard Awards are known for more spectacular performances over high quality, but we thought both this performance and Justin’s “The Voice” performance were dismal. Will the prince of pop get his act together soon? At the awards, Carly Rae Jepsen performed her hit “Call Me Maybe” and Taylor Swift won ‘Woman of The Year!’ Check out those under the jump.

Nanny Agatha, played by Jennifer Veal, New York City’s most intimidating nanny, first appeared on Disney‘s “Jessie” last month, butting heads with fellow nanny Jessie (Debby Ryan). Now, Agatha’s twin sister Angela is in town, and Jessie suspects she is trying to steal her job and also catch Tony’s eye! Jennifer dished about the episode in her own words:

“Agatha has a twin sister called Angela, which I play both of the characters, and she turns up in Central Park and gets introduced to Jessie. She basically moves in as the live-in maid… And Agatha and [Jessie] actually end up getting together and fight against Angela. I think people are going to enjoy Agatha and Jessie kind of getting along.”

Since Agatha requires Jennifer to wear mounds of make-up, a fake mole, and a snaggletooth, we asked Jennifer if people ever recognize her out on the street:

“No… Not as much, really. I do sometimes get recognized and people will say, very confused, ‘Are you on the television? We recognized you from your voice.’ So if I talk a lot, people sometimes recognize me… but otherwise, no.”

Since Jennifer is now playing both Angela & Agatha, we asked her which she likes better:

“Honestly, to play, Agatha is a lot of fun. It’s so much fun as an actress to just really create a character which is so far from yourself. But then, it is quite nice to be actually able to have makeup put on you rather than just a mole and a snaggletooth. Angela is… it was nice to be able to play someone that looks like myself. But otherwise, I think Agatha is definitely more of a character.”
