Like Peter Cushing prying open a creaky wooden coffin in a dank cavern and smashing a wooden stake through Christopher Lee's rotting, 700-year-old chest, pop's gallant hero Lady GaGa continues to erase any need for Ye Olde Vampyre Madonna. This time the feat comes in the U.K., where Lady GaGa is at ...

Okay, after rewatching Flo Rida's "Right Round" video, I got to thinking, That chick in the clip totally can't be the one singing. In fact, I sort of hypothesized that Kesha (or Ke$ha, if you're cla$$y) is probably some 400 lb. housewife who occasionally comes into the studio to mop up after hours w...

So here's the video for Flo Rida's "Right Round," which has been #1 for two weeks, and has also sold over a million digital downloads over two weeks. Alas, that single is probably making more money than the record label distributing it. Hence the cheap-ass video. I think the 30-second commercial I m...

Obviously, we need to talk about the new song that takes over the top of Billboard's Hot 100, and the mind-blowing record it sets. But before we do that, let's talk about Hilary Swank. I find Swank's movie career totally incomprehensible: She either wins Oscars, or she tanks. Not even Meryl Streep h...

Did you ever think you'd see the day when Pete Burns would have a writing credit on a #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100? Unless you've been living under a tarp covering a dead hooker in a dumpster (speaking of Pete Burns...), you'll know by now that Flo Rida's latest jam "Right Round" uses the melo...

Nestled deep inside the list of nominations for the 26th Annual AVN Adult Movie Awards, right in between "Best Orgy/Gang Bang Series" and "Best Overall Marketing Campaign, Company Image," are the five candidates for the night's Best Original Song Award. I tried to track them down online because, hey...

As 2008 recedes in our collective rearview mirror, the headlines trumpeting bad news are still there: record sales are lousier than ever, the economy sucks, record executives are still trying to flog the Pussycat Dolls. But there are still reasons to be excited by what's to come in the probably cont...

The release today of Billboard’s tallies for the year’s biggest U.S. singles and albums produce few jaw-dropping surprises. The top eight songs of the year, according to the Hot 100, come directly from the list of 10 songs in my predictions post last week. So what about those two songs I called ...

What’s an ayer? I was under the misapprehension that the word is air, but obviously Flo Rida and Will.I.Am know differently. Or maybe it’s cos I speke proper English like innit. Or as my girlfriend put it, maybe this song, Flo Rida’s follow up to Low , and Will.I.Am’s next si...

After a lot of buildup that stretched all the way to an Idolator reader poll, I watched Pete Wentz's effort to bring videos back to MTV, FNMTV Premieres, on DVR-delay Saturday morning. And it was... OK. Friday night's premiere didn't result in ground-breaking TV by any stretch, but it wasn't complet...
