Maroon 5 Love Somebody Video
Paint It Blue

Is Adam Levine just torturing his fans by going shirtless in his new video, but doing it in a sort of weird way where it’s not entirely sexy? Yes! Yes, he probably is.

In the video for Maroon 5‘s new single “Love Somebody” (which might be my favorite single from Overexposed — it’s actually played pretty straight, rather than some overproduced funk-pop monstrosity), Levine uses inverse blue-screen technology (or whatever) with his body (and the body of a sexy model, since it’s Adam Levine) covered in a viscous blue paint-like substance, so only parts of it show up. It’s pretty weird, and kinda cool, and also sort of gross.  More »

May 22nd, 2013 // Leave a Comment

Oklahoma native Blake Shelton and his wife, Miranda Lambert, start Tuesday’s episode of The Voice on a somber note. The two sing a moving duet of Shelton’s hit “Over You,” and dedicate the performance to the tornado victims in his home state. As with all of the live performances during the show in this episode, information on how viewers can donate to the disaster relief effort (redcross.org or 1-800-HELP-NOW) is featured at the bottom of the screen. It’s a classy moment for the show, and for the country coach…

…only to be brought back down to the usual Voice level when Blake describes his feelings about the results show with “Ulcers. Nausea. Diarrhea.” Moving on. More »

Did You Hear?

:: Beyonce is a “Grown Woman,” but even grown women can get sick. The superstar recently postponed a show in Belgium under doctor’s orders, and now we learn before that, while still on tour for the Mrs. Carter Show, she was diagnosed with tonsillitis. Get this gal some chicken soup, stat! [Vibe Vixen]

:: Speaking of Bey, she recently posted an adorable photo of daughter Blue Ivy Carter on tour with her. The still-only child has her own mini monogrammed director’s chair and everything! [Beyonce Tumblr]

:: Demi Lovato was hawking her album, Demi, out of a limo in NYC when she drove by Ben Stiller and commanded him to buy it. “Ben Stiller, buy my new album on iTunes! It’s out now, it’ll give you a heart attack.” Solid pitch, Dem. [E!]

:: Justin Bieber‘s pet monkey, Malley, will stay in Germany. The capuchin monkey was quarantined there after Bieber failed to produce documentation for the pet in Munich. The deadline for Bieber to send over the paperwork has passed, and so Malley is now owned by the German government. The monkey has been staying in an animal shelter since March. [Rolling Stone]

:: At 73 years old, Giorgio Moroder is a legend, having achieved just about every feat possible in electronic music. That is, except for DJing. But Monday night (May 20), Moroder did his first-ever DJ set, for the Red Bull Music Academy in Brooklyn. The studio wiz spun for an hour, remixing some of his classics and even contributing vocodered vocals. [SPIN]

T.I. and Lil Wayne take Miami by storm in the video for “Wit Me,” their new collaboration building buzz for their joint America’s Most Wanted tour. The video was directed by Philly FlyBoy, and finds the rappers cruising South Florida on land and on water in fast cars and fast boats, like a modern day Crockett and Tubbs from Miami Vice, except without all that distracting cop work.

Check it out up top. We know Weezy keeps saying he’s fine, but it’s good to see him bouncing around and yelping like a giddy child.

Pharrell Channels Cee Lo Green For “Happy”: Hear His ‘Despicable Me 2′ Track

May 21st, 2013 // Leave a Comment

Pharrell dialed into smooth ’70s disco with Daft Punk on two Random Access Memories tracks, “Get Lucky” and “Lose Yourself to Dance.” But for his new solo track, “Happy,” Mr. Williams digs back a little bit further, to the ’60s. The result is a soulful, catchy little jaunt reminiscent of Cee Lo Green‘s recent work – all handclaps and singalongs and retro pop simplicity.

“Happy” is off the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack, which Pharrell co-produced with composer Heitor Pereira (Pharrell also helmed the music for the first film). Coincidentally, the super-producer teams up with Cee Lo on another one of the movie’s tracks. But you can hear the peppy solo cut below. More »
