WTF: David Bowie Photo Swapped Out With Rick Astley For Upcoming Morrissey Single Re-Release

March 11th, 2013 // Leave a Comment

With the release of David Bowie‘s The Next Day tomorrow (March 12), we couldn’t skip over the recent news that the Thin White Duke reportedly nixed Morrissey using a unseen photo of the two English artists together for the upcoming April 18 re-release of Morrissey’s 1989 single “The Last Of The Famous International Playboys.” And given Moz’s recent public comments about Paul McCartney and Beyonce, we’re sure he’ll dish out a quip or two regarding Bowie at some point.

In the meantime, Morrissey opted for the next best thing: a photo of he and ’80s pop star/current day Internet meme icon Rick Astley together. Blog Slicing Up Eyballs noted in 2010 that the pic of the two was snapped in February 1989 during a taping of UK music program Top Of The Pops, when Morrissey was doing promo for “The Last Of The Famous International Playboys” the first time around. Rick Astley, on the other hand, was just there being awesome.

Vin Diesel Singing Rihanna’s “Stay” For Valentine’s Day Is The Only Video That Matters Now

When You're Vin Diesel, Every Day Is V-Day

Life is just a chaotic sequence of random events, with infinite possibilities and alternate outcomes expanding into forever. But there’s a mystical order beneath the chaos. For instance, sometimes on the same day an asteroid brushes past the Earth, a giant meteor also explodes in the sky in Russia. Sometimes on the same day couples are celebrating their love together, Vin Diesel will post a surreal, lonely cover of a sad Rihanna song.

As a Valentine’s Day gift (?) to his Facebook fans, the actor posted the above video showing him singing along to “Stay,” and subsequently all other YouTube videos for the next 24 hours have been put on notice. (Bye, “Harlem Shake”!) If you’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Diesel grunt out his lines in a movie, then, well, you’ve heard him sing. It’s the same sound. And guys, even if you can’t sit through the whole thing, please just skip to the end to hear him channel the creepiness of 1,000 drunk uncles with a groan-kiss that sounds like something out of The Exorcist‘s holy water scene.

The pop music and comic book worlds collided when PSY was joined by Hugh Jackman and the two did the “Gangnam Style” dance with Wolverine claws on. Don’t try to make sense of it, people, just accept it and let it wash over you. PSY tweeted a photo of the two stars donning the adamantium claws (look it up, non-nerds) as an artifact to show future generations when “Gangnam Style” fades away. Just kidding! It will never die.

Carly Rae Jepsen Sings “Call Me Maybe” With Harvey Keitel: Seriously, There’s Video

Welp, where do we go from here? Carly Rae Jepsen performed a duet of her breakout hit “Call Me Maybe” with actor Harvey Keitel. If that sounds like a joke, that’s because it sort of is: the strange pairing was part of Comedy Central’s Night Of Too Many Stars, which raises money for autism research. For the musical bit, the bubbly 26-year-old (who sang her part) was juxtaposed with the actor known for his grizzled roles (for his part, he spoke Carly’s lyrics matter-of-factly). Good sports, good song, good laughs, and all for a good cause. The special airs October 21, but you can see the odd pairing up top.

PSY’s “Gangnam Style” Performed Live On ‘Ellen’ By Mom & Son Duo: Watch

A mother-and-son duo posted a video of themselves performing PSY‘s K-pop crossover smash “Gangnam Style” online this week, and it instantly went viral — so viral, in fact, that Ellen Degeneres invited the pair onto her show to strut their stuff live for the crowd. Did they deliver? Watch the video above to see for yourself. We will say that, in our estimation, it might just be the most charming take on “Gangnam Style” we’ve seen so far. Learning that both mother and son are dance instructors explains a lot, since the way they’re moving in perfect synchronicity — well, we couldn’t pull that off at any age.

You’re never sure who — or what — you’re going to be looking at when logging onto Chatroulette, but for Essex, England’s Adam Houabi, it wound up being sometimes-Take That singer/sometimes-solo crooner Robbie Williams on his computer screen. In the video above, which was captured by Houabi as he filmed his computer with his iPhone, Robbie sings a cover of “Losers” by The Belle Brigade. “I didn’t believe it was really him so he pulled his shirt down to reveal his chest tattoos and showed me five cameramen round him in his Hollywood studio,” Adam told The Sun.

Boy With Snuggie Recreates Beyonce’s “Countdown” And It’s Amazing

Beyonce‘s video for her 4 single “Countdown” is delightful all on its own, but now we know what it was always missing: Snuggies. One giant fan of the pop star’s took it upon himself (and a few friends helping him realize his dream) to recreate Bey’s video shot-by-shot. The whole thing would be entertaining enough, but the use of a Snuggie as a wardrobe choice brings it to a whole new level. (Watch this if you seriously can’t believe just how close his fan video is to the original. Guys, he even shows off a pregnant belly like Beyonce!)

UPDATE: Beyonce thinks his video is “brilliant”, according to a new post on her website. “I think he did this video better than I did,” she wrote, including his Snuggie version on her blog. Somewhere, this kid is perpetually fainting. More »

This Grown Man Has 15 Tattoos Of Miley Cyrus

No, you’re not looking at Rihanna‘s latest tattoo. This unflattering depiction of Miley Cyrus has been tattooed on a full-grown man, and it’s only one of 15 tattoos he has of the pop star. In addition to this questionable likeness of the recently engaged singer, he also has Miley’s autograph, her name, her song lyrics and song titles inked in various parts around his body.

The man’s Twitter profile @MileyCyrusCarl is pretty much Miley-specific, and every photo on his page is either of his tattoos or of Miley, from present day dating back to her as a toddler. (Nothing creepy at all here!) “Miley Cyrus u are a Miracle,” he writes. “I love u so much x nobody is more beautiful & talented & sexy as u. I have 15 tattoos of u! There’s an Angel in LA.” And there’s also a restraining order on the way, we bet. [Via Buzzfeed]

We don’t know how. We don’t know why. All we know is that somehow, thank God, a video clip of Drive actor Ryan Gosling at age 10 — where he’s decked out in MC Hammer pants, has a bowl haircut and is singing  Michael Bolton‘s cover of “When A Man Loves A Woman” (quite well, actually) — has found its way online. According to the video description on YouTube, this magic occurred “at a Mormon talent competition in late 1991.” More »

A young man named Mark wanted to show that guys can also be fans of One Direction, and wrote some fan fiction featuring the members of the British boy band. And then he went and animated it. The Adventurous Adventures Of One Direction re-imagines Niall, Zayn, Liam, Harry and Louis as superheroes, and their quest is to save the world’s pussycats with the help of Sir Paul McCartney. And the tongue-in-cheek cartoon is worth the next 18 minutes of your time, even if you’re not a One Direction fan, but especially if you’re a One Direction fan. Mark, we hope you’re currently hard at work animating a series for The Wanted. [Via PopJustice]
