Rihanna Teases Strip Club-Themed “Pour It Up” Video

May 22nd, 2013 // Leave a Comment

Rihanna posted the above photo teasing her forthcoming video for “Pour It Up,” along with the message, “ALL I SEE IZ $IGN$ #pouritupvideoshoot #stripclubsanddollabillz.” Coincidentally, that’s the email signature on her corporate Outlook account. Anyway, if you look closely, you can see that Rihanna had her own currency printed for the video, and we think she should totally start selling the funny money at her merch tables. More »

Wave "Hello"

After cruising the Miami streets with Lil Wayne in his clip for “Wit Me”, T.I. shows off a softer side in the Marc Klasfeld-directed video for “Hello.” Featuring Cee Lo Green, the video finds the rapper in the Wild Wild West as he embarks on a journey in search of happiness.

T.I. keeps it all in the family as his children, the OMG Girlz and his wife Tiny make appearances, helping the rapper resist temptation and face various challenges. In the end, they all end up in a saloon where T.I. knocks out after one too many drinks. But after traveling in the dry desert all day, it’s tough to blame him. More »

Miguel’s Flying Leg-Slam Victim #1 Is OK, But What About Victim #2, You Guys?!

She's A Trooper

When Miguel misjudged his stage jump at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday (May 19) and ended up leg-slamming one girl in the head and kicking another one in the dome, our first reaction was unstoppable laughter, obviously. But once we replayed it a couple times, and in slo-mo, we realized, whoa, he really clobbered these gals and they may actually be injured. But the singer was quick to tweet that one of the innocent bystanders, Khyati, was OK. And he was very apologetic with her in a backstage interview after the incident, which you can watch up top. Khyati had an icebag on her arm during the debrief, but she was well enough to savvily pull off a power play, emphasizing that the singer will “hopefully make up for” the too-close encounter.

This is great. But you guys, it’s always Khyati, Khyati, Khyati! What about the other victim?? More »

One Direction Announce New Book, ‘Where We Are’

May 22nd, 2013 // Leave a Comment

If you thought you knew it all about One Direction, guess again: The band are telling all in their new book, One Direction: Where We Are: Our Band, Our Story, ghostwritten by the ghost of Norman Mailer and including a foreword by Joan Didion. (No, not really.)

The boys of 1D spilled the details of their book to MTV, where they’ll discuss their rise to international superstardom, and also metaphysics. (Okay, that part isn’t true, either.) More »

These Artists Give Digital Love To The Robots

Daft Punk‘s fourth album Random Access Memories was released yesterday, and, for the most part, is garnering rave reviews. Given all the lead-up hype surrounding the LP, and the global success of “Get Lucky,” everyone has been buzzing about the duo — including artists who came in to pay Idolator a visit in recent weeks.

In the clip above, an eclectic array of talent — including Wyclef Jean, Little Boots, Jason Derulo, Capital Cities and Betty Who — weigh in on Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo, and give their thoughts on the French pair’s music and legacy within the pop world. Their comments may surprise you, especially in the sense that they perhaps mirror your own views on the duo.

Kelly Clarkson, Adam Lambert, Jennifer Hudson Being Considered As ‘American Idol’ Judges: Report

May 22nd, 2013 // 5 Comments

American Idol may be getting a very different type of shake-up for next season: Vulture reports (via a tipster with “knowledge of the situation”) that producers are considering replacing at least one, if not all of the judges. with former contestants. Reportedly, Kelly Clarkson (amazing) and Jennifer Hudson (amazing) have already been approached, and Adam Lambert and Clay Aiken are also being considered.

Can we just take a minute to entertain the idea of a Kelly Clarkson-Jennifer Hudson-Adam Lambert panel? (Clay Aiken is fine and charming but ultimately sort of whatever.) Clarkson would bring all sorts of honest, down-to-earth life lessons and bits of wisdom; Hudson would serve up all kinds of diva shenanigans; and Adam Lambert would be literally the most glamorous human alive. Most importantly, all of those artists are talented, not so massively huge that they’d command Mariah Carey-level paychecks, and — crucially — they know what makes great television.  More »
