Lady GaGa Creates A Mini Movie Masterpiece

Leave it to Jonas Akerlund to create an absolute masterpiece with Lady GaGa for her new single "Paparazzi". Its got everything...sex, tradegy, a fallen star and a great comeback. Not to mention its shot beautifully and will pretty much solidify a place for Lady GaGa forever in pop music.

Not to mention the track is great on its own...

On a side note, are the triplets that look like they were in Poison back in the day the 3 Swedish kids from Daisy Of Love?

You need to watch this video. A lot:

Amy Winehouse Cancels London Comeback Show

Well, surprise surprise...Amy Winehouse cancels yet another gig?! Who would have thought...

Amy was supposed to perform at Shepard's Bush Empire on May 31st as a part of Island Record's 50th birthday celebration.

This cancellation comes after a horrendous performance earlier in the month in St. Lucia, where she only performed for an hour and forgot the words to most of her songs. Oh, and did I mention she seemed wasted on stage?!

"Amy would like to apologise to her fans who bought tickets for the show," says a statement released from her record label.

Poor Amy...

If you missed the St. Lucia performance you can watch it here:

Jay Bennett Passes Away In His Sleep

Its a sad day in the music world with the passing of Jay Bennett, who has died at the age of 45.

A former member of Wilco, Bennett worked as a sound engineer and played instruments for the band from 1994 to 2001.

"We are profoundly saddened to report that our friend died in his sleep ... Jay was a beautiful human being who will be missed," read a statement from Bennett's record label, Undertow Music Collective.

You will be missed Jay...

Likely Looks: The Kissing Party - King Graves Rd.

It can't get any sweeter than The Kissing Party!

Their new single, 'King Graves Rd' and the video to go along it is just a simple day in the life of the band (with a cool split screen effect) that captures the band as much as it can in the span of two minutes...

Their new release, 'The Hate Album', comes out this summer so stay tuned!

For now, here is the video:

Jay-Z Confirms Leaving His Label, Island/Def Jam

Jay-Z is leaving the very place which launched his career, Def Jam Records. After securing a deal with Live Nation for a pretty penny (or more like a pretty set of millions) he's confirmed that he will not be recording another album for the label.

The deal with Live Nation is for touring, publishing and recording...something these days a label just can't do.

Next up, hopefully a new album...

Likely Looks: Pete Yorn - Don't Wanna Cry

Pete Yorn is back with a new video for his single "Don't Wanna Cry"...and it actually might make YOU cry.

Its a beautiful song and a simple yet to the point video directed by one of The Malloys, which sees Pete looking back at an ex-lover.

Here is the video:

Kylie Minogue Announces North American Tour

The day just got a little better...because Kylie Minogue has just announced her first EVER North American tour!

Sep. 30 Oakland, CA (SF Bay Area) Oakland Fox Theatre
Oct. 3 Las Vegas, NV The Pearl (Palms Hotel and Casino)
Oct. 4 Los Angeles, CA Hollywood Bowl
Oct. 7 Chicago, IL The Congress Theater
Oct. 9 Toronto, ON Air Canada Centre
Oct. 11 New York, NY Hammerstein Ballroom

Kid Cudi Gets Denied By Lily Allen and Andre 3000

Kid Cudi may be the most talked about new guy in hip-hop but that still doesn't give him all the power in the world. Reaching out to Lily Allen and Andre 3000 to collaborate with them, he got rejected.

Here is his blog that explains it all:

I ONLY HAVE 3 FEATURES FOR MY ALBUM WHICH IS MY BIG HOMIE SNOOP, KANYE AND COMMON. THE OTHER 2 ARTISTS I ASKED SO FAR TO BE ON MY ALBUM: LILY ALLEN AND ANDRE 3000, HAVE DECLINED MY REQUEST FOR A COLLAB. IT MADE ME REALIZE THO, DO I REALLY WANNA GO IN ON FEATURES? SURE I LIKE THESE ARTISTS BUT THIS FIRST ALBUM NEEDS TO BE ABOUT WUT I CAN DO. I FEEL LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE STILL THINK ITS A GAME SO I WILL FOREVER FEEL LIKE I HAVE SUTTIN TO PROVE. U GUYS NEED TO HEAR MORE OF ME SO WHEN UR DEBATIN WITH UR FRIENDS ABOUT HOW ILL MAN ON THE MOON IS, THEY CAN BE LIKE “YEA, YOU RIGHT” LOL HAHA

Bat For Lashes Does David Letterman

Now, this performance could have gone horribly wrong...but Bat For Lashes AKA Natasha Khan pulled out an absolutely stunning performance.

The performance happened the night of May 1 and I know I am a little late on it but it is just too good not to share.
