1. Spears -- Pop Star
   The family of Britney Spears are saying "Dr. Phil" McGraw crossed the line by blabbing his lips about his visit with the troubled pop star. The business manager for Britney's mom and younger sister appeared on Wednesday's edition of the 'Today' show, and said Dr. Phil had violated their trust by speaking to the media so freely about what happened.
2. Britney -- Pop Star
   Britney Spears, born in Kentwood, Louisiana, emerged in November 1998 as an instant pop star queen with her debut single "Baby One More Time," which smashed into the American Billboard charts at #1. A few weeks later her debut album of the same title was released and ... flew to the top, making her the first ever female artist to have a simultaneous Billboard #1 single and album with a debut release. The impact was mirrored on charts throughout the world, making it quite obvious that Britney had become a pop phenomenon overnight.
3. Pop
   Why They're About to Pop: This funky electropop 6-piece is making waves in the rock scene. While their sophomore EP, 'Punch You Lights Out,' dabbles in many genres and is laced with synths and drum machines, the band has honed their unique sound into a smoother sense of soul -- like diet Maroon 5 for the younger pop rock generation. Tipping their hats to Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and even Justin Timberlake, Danger Radio is about to take the country by storm. They've already opened for the likes of Gym Class Heroes and Hot Hot Heat, and have ... had successful stints at festivals like Bamboozle and Bumbershoot. You can catch them on the PacSun Tour with Envy on the Coast, the Audition and Another Day Late through February 16.
4. Cher -- Pop
   Cher and Nicole Richie are just as indecent and profane as ever. The Federal Communications Commission has reaffirmed its findings that the pop diva and the Simple Life star breached broadcast standards when they each uttered the F-word in separate award-show TV appearances... Read On
5. Pop Art -- Pop Art Movement
   Pop Art is a movement that began in Germany in the 1950s, but had its most famous practitioners--at least in this country--in Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Both used ads and comics for inspiration; the latter is most famous for his work mimicking comic books beginning in 1961. Of course, Bizet borrowed folk tunes in composing Carmen. Greek statues exist mainly because of Roman copies. Renaissance means “rebirth;” fifteenth century art and architecture copied from the past
6. Will Young -- Pop Idol
   Will Young (born January 20, 1979) is an English singer and actor. He became famous in 2002 when he won the British singing competition, Pop Idol. Since then, he has had a successful music career.
7. Gareth Gates -- Pop Idol
   U.K. teen pop sensation Gareth Gates attended an audition for the top-rated TV show Pop Idol in Manchester holding a backround in singing, piano, and classical guitar. After a second audition the newcomer managed to get through to the final and came in second on February 9, 2002. Simon Cowell signed him as a solo artist.
8. Pop Art -- Paintings
   Pop artists helped Andy Warhol decorate his studio with tinfoil and helium filled balloons, throw raging parties which lasted for days, and bring up young talent, like the painter Basquiat. During the later years of his career, Warhol created repetitious prints of Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Chairman Mao, and others. By merely repeating these famous faces one after another on the same canvas, Warhol made a tremendously focused and insightful commentary on the simultaneously deadening and exhilarating experience of fame.
9. Gloria Estefan -- Latin Pop
   In 2003, Gloria Estefan released Unwrapped, her first English-language CD in five years. To promote the CD, she toured Europe, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the United States. The CD's first video, for the single "Hoy/Wrapped," was shot in Machu Picchu, Peru. "Hoy" and the next single, "Tu Fotografia," were #1 on Billboard's Latin chart.
10. David Bowie -- Iggy Pop
    David Bowie is rock’s foremost futurist and a genre-bending pioneer, chameleon, and transformer. Throughout his solo career and in his alliances with other artists - including Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Brian Eno and Nine Inch Nails - Bowie has positioned himself on the cutting edge of rock and roll. His innovations have created or furthered several major trends in rock and roll, including glam-rock, art-rock and the very notion of the self-mythologized, larger-than-life rock star.
