The Jonas Brothers were spotted as they filmed the music video for their single ‘Kung Fu Grip’ on Thursday in San Pedro, California. 20-year old Kevin, 18-year old Joe and 15-year old Nick were seen dressed in a number of outfits for the video including karate uniforms and headbands. Nick was also seen dressed in a red wet suit while riding a speedboat. His scene had him jump out of the boat and fire a net gun at 2 other guys. Well that sounds interesting. However, some people are saying that the video might not be for ‘Kung Fu Grip’ but rather for ‘Burning Up’.
Scarlett Johansson has recently premiered her first music video ‘Falling Down’ which comes off of her debut solo album ‘Anywhere I Lay My Head’. The cover song, which also features David Bowie on vocals, was originally from Tom Waits’ album ‘Big Time’. It’s a good song but when it comes to the video, forget it. It’s pretty bad with its lame theme of ‘a day in the life of Scarlett’ and with the very shaky camera. It just gave me a headache really. Anyway, Scarlett’s album is set for release through Acto/Rhino Records on May 20. Here’s to hoping that the rest of her album doesn’t give me the headaches.
Rihanna has released a new music video for her single ‘Take a Bow’. The song is the lead single from the re-release of her platinum-selling album ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’. What, can’t she think of anything else to sing so she has to redo her old album? I’m not complaining though. She just made the songs hotter and does a collaboration with Maroon 5. Anyway, I think Rihanna has a future at being an actress. There’s a whole lot of emotion in her new video which is really about catching her guy cheating. Chris Brown better not even dare think about doing that to the new Princess of Pop.
Soon-to-be-mom Jessica Alba finds herself as the star in her very first music video, lip-synching to Panic at the Disco’s ‘Nine in the Afternoon’ even as she’s over 7 months pregnant. And it’s all because of her fiancé Cash Warren. Cash and close friend Baron Davis of NBA’s Golden State Warriors co-founded IBeatYou.com which recently launched. It’s a social networking competition site where users are encouraged to submit anything to compete with others to be voted the winner. It can be a video, audio, pictures or whatever else. People can vote from “best lip-dub music video” to “best beard”. Cool.
Heidi Montag’s video for her single ‘Higher’ has been released. And what can I say? It was everything I expected and much less. The video was shot, produced and directed by Heidi’s ex-fiance and still-boyfriend Spencer Pratt. If you’re a perv, this video is going to be good for you. There are two things worth noticing.
Spencer and Heidi need to stick to whatever it is that they do best. I don’t know what that is exactly. In fact, I’m pretty sure that they don’t either. But whatever it is, it’s not music videos. Why can’t the earth just open up and swallow them whole?
The Queen of Pop has landed in New York. Madonna was spotted in Manhattan on Monday. The singer has just wrapped a music video in London with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. And yes, Madonna and Justin did a little bit of dancing on the video. That’s going to be hot!
Madonna is taking care of some business meetings in New York. She will be going off to Berlin soon for the premiere of her short film. But back to Madonna music news – the singer’s much anticipated album is expected to drop in April. Finally! It’s coming! I’m so excited, I can’t wait!
It is being reported that Heidi Montag’s first single ‘Higher’ is on its way in just a few short weeks. It will be out with a digital-only release on February 5, the same time that the video produced by Spencer Pratt comes out. Oh boy.
I don’t really know what Heidi’s musical style is like but if her musical influences are anything to go by, it should be a fascinating tableaux. In a release, she sited being influenced by Jesus, Theron Feemster and Britney Spears. There’s a pink elephant in the room and a joke to be made about ‘The Hills’ being alive with the sound of Heidi’s music.
Hilary Duff made a big no-no for singers recently. At a concert in Mexico this past weekend, the singer/actress began singing into the microphone while it was still turned off. Her ‘backing track’ came on later and it was all good.
The video has already been posted on YouTube and you can check it out. There’s an obvious delay between her opening her mouth and “singing” and the track coming on. At the very least she didn’t do a monkey dance. That would have made the whole thing really obvious. She would have been booed offstage much like Ashlee Simpson was back in her SNL snafu.
Janet Jackson’s latest single ‘Feedback’ is getting hotter by the minute. Now that she’s released the video for the song, it’s bound to shoot through the roof. Her video is phenomenal! The video has a very ‘outer space’ feel to it much like her and her brother, Michael’s, ‘Scream’ video.
What makes it completely Janet and completely hot are the dance moves. The girl knows how to move. The choreography, the special effects and the ending make the video pure perfection. Kudos to Gil Duldulao for making the hot moves and Saam Farahmand for his vision. And of course, thanks to Janet for giving men out there something to dream about.
Recent rumors are swirling around in the hip hop world that rapper Remy Ma has had some female relations in the past. And no, it’s not a reference to cousins or whatever. The rumor mill really got going when a woman’s video confession popped up on YouTube. The video has the woman claiming that she had a sexual experience with the aforementioned rapper.
Remy is refuting the claims but her publicist still felt the need to issue an official statement to clear up the sexual confusion. I’m not going to quote it because frankly, I don’t care. It’s not like a lesbian rapper is unheard of.
Pop wreck Britney Spears has become so unreliable that her video shoot for ‘Piece of Me’ has been canceled. The video production team had already prepared for a no-show by Britney and hired a stand in during rehearsals–and possibly for the actual shoot itself. yeah I don’t believe her camp neither…especially since they gave 100 excuses why she failed the drug test and none of them could be the closest to the truth. We all know that Britney is not working these days all she is involved in is her custody case and that’s on top of her agenda right now. Whether she manages to win the custody or part custody or visiting rights does not matter at all. She has been reported to driving with the kids time and again and breaking rules at will. SO if she cancels a video shoot is not at all a surprise to me. When she will be able to come out this wreck situation is not one that we all can sit and predict. Her album is doing well but she not.
What a weird coincidence, Duran Duran’s new video “Falling Down,” which was co-directed by Justin Timberlake is about a young star who is forced to go to rehab against her will and loses it. If this is about Britney I think this is quite low from J.T. I mean no one can argue that Britney is at a low point in her life. People can be judgmental of her, but it really is uncalled for from someone who said that he once loved Britney and that he wanted to help her through her tough times. I mean after Cry me a River Britney never said anything and took the high road (if cheating rumors were true she deserved the dissing), but it’s been YEARS, get over it Justin. JT could have been way classier and not jump in with all the haters. If you are such a creative artist stop taking cheap shots. Why is justin so obsessed with Britney. he says how he hates the press being all over his shit than he does shit like this. Leave Britney alone!!!! Why is he taking cheap shots at her? Who the fuck does he think he is?
Mary J. Blige has just released a new video for her new single called ‘Just Fine’. The video is awesome and the song is a great jam. Mary J’s new single is a bit of a departure for the R&B diva. It’s up-tempo and is a feel-good anthem. She most definitely left the gut-wrenching and tortured emotions outside of the recording booth.
Different as the sound may be for all you die-hard fans of Mary J, she’s still the same diva. Except, instead of wanting to wallow in your tears while listening to her sing all her anguish out, she’ll make you want to sing that today is going to be a better day, today is going to be just fine.
Country singer Tim McGraw has hit out at the female fan who grabbed his crotch onstage this summer as “disrespectful.” McGraw was performing alongside his wife Faith Hill on their Soul2Soul tour in Lafayette, Louisiana in July, when one excited devotee reached out to grab his manhood. I understand Faith’s reaction. Unfortunately, it appears that in today’s society there is very little conscience, let alone moral fiber. Good for Faith in standing up for the respect that she and Tim deserve, and Good for Tim in standing by his woman. Just because your life is in the public eye does not mean you are owned by the public. I think Tim should have had her arrested for bodily assault. That would certainly have taught her a lesson. (It’s not too late). I’m surprised she could even get a good grip through those tight jeans/pants he always wears…even still it’s still disrespectful. Faith is too nice, because that girl would’ve gone home with one hand if it’d been me.
The Spice Girls’ newest single ‘Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) was played simultaneously by radio station across the UK yesterday morning. After the 30-second snippet that they used to tease fans a few days ago, it’s nice to hear the whole thing.
The song was written by Matt Rowe, Richard ‘Biff’ Stannard, Ginger and Baby. The pop girl group also made the video for the new single last Friday at Pinewood Studios. ‘Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) will be available digitally in the UK on November 5 and physically on November 19. It’s only a matter of time now and the world will once again be Spice World.
With the release date of her album looming in the horizon, Celine Dion took some time to glam it up for a photo shoot for her upcoming album ‘Taking Chances’. The French Canadian singer recently released her music video for ‘Taking Chances’, the first single which bears the same name as the album. The album is set for release on November 13.
Let me just say that Celine looks magnificent in her photo shoot. I wonder how they describe the theme of the photo shoot. Mysterious and alluring goddess, perhaps? She looks so fabulous! You’d almost think that there were no retouches done.
Ashley Tisdale performed her new single “He Said, She Said” at Good Morning America last Friday. Ms. Tisdale is going to release on November 13th this Year.
Britney Spears almost bailed on her custody hearing about having her boys’ visits be overnights. But she completely bailed on potential dancers which were scheduled to audition for her new video and possibly, her new tour.
Brit apparently decided to bail on everyone that morning. She didn’t show for the auditions which left dancers steamed when her new assistant called Millennium Dance Studio in North Hollywood to cancel.
A source said that “Over 50 girls waited for her to show this morning — for over an hour.” The auditions are supposed to be rescheduled some time soon. Hopefully, the dancers would be more receptive than Brit.
Mel C is honestly the best Spice Girl. The artist formerly and currently known as Sporty Spice has become an indie musician and it is awesome. She has earned her credit with her efforts.
Mel released a solo album on her own and it is really good. She even has a video for her new single called ‘This Time’. The video, much like the song, is sparse and emotional. It’s a beautiful pop song but in a way is actually the anti of pop. It’s something earnest that the Spice Girls would never ever release.
If only the rest of the world would catch on with her work.
Rumors went around that Britney Spears would supposedly premiere her new music video for ‘Gimme More’ on the Thursday edition of MTV’s ‘Total Request Live’. The video was said to be directed by the same guy that directed Beyonce and Shakira’s ‘Beautiful Liar’, Jake Nava. We’ll see.
However, an MTV representative went on the record with Extra! that Britney will not premiere any music video on the show. You see?
In other Britney news, her fifth album which is due out on November 13 is rumored to be titled ‘Pieces of Me’. Even more rumors?
Britney Spears spent her weekend in Las Vegas, where she has been rehearsing her performance for the MTV VMA’s on September 9th. According to sources, Britney spent all day Friday rehearsing and then that night she went and partied with P. Diddy at Pure nightclub. Hey, now that’s what I like, you work and like Britney rehearsed all day and then when work is done for the day you party hard as well to enjoy and celebrate the day’s work. That’s the culture I have been brought up on and that’s the way I think it should be. No work just partying all the time and killing life without doing anything meaningful and substantial is worthless fun. I’m really looking forward to the MTV VMA’s tomorrow. While I don’t really ever watch MTV and I dislike the majority of the type of people who will be there, I really want to see Britney’s performance.
Remember the video all over television and YouTube of Faith Hill bitching out a concert-goer who grabbed Tim McGraw’s crotch at a concert in Louisiana back in July? Now Hill has finally got something to say about that ugly incident which hit the headlines for quite sometime after that. “I mean, how disrespectful! And plus, it’s like sexual harassment. I mean if a man was to do that to a woman? I mean c’mon.” said Hill. I’m totally agreeing with her that if a man did that to a woman he would be arrested. That woman who did that, whoever she is, needs to class it up a little bit. I wouldn’t want to mess with Faith Hill. She seems pretty ghetto when it comes to her career and her man. But to what extent would fans and these celebs go for a brawl anywhere like it were a street fight.
Here’s the music video for the new Chris Brown single titled “Kiss Kiss” featuring T-Pain.
Chris’s new album entitled “Exclusive” will hit stores now on November 6th.
Will somebody please tell this X@@##! to shut the X@@##! up…..It never fails, as soon as he has material to put out, he has to start a non-existing beef with someone to get peoples attention. Why can’t you just let the music do the talking and keep your mouth shut? Fact: Lil Wayne and Kanye West are better than you are……Stop making songs about killing people and selling coke because you don’t do either anymore. Just do us all a favor and retire so we don’t have to listen to you or any of your G-Unit X@@##! anymore……P.S. you suck! Like is this the only way you guys can get the attention you want for a release and none without it. Why do you have to attack other singers in your songs and also those who buy his CDs are of the same intent – that they like to hear of violence and killings which is truly a shame to our lovely society. I don’t want question their upbringing coz this is none of my business but my mind can’t seem to stop asking this question – did these rappers have an abusive upbringing coz they seem not to be able stop using all this horrifying language.
