It’s hard — maybe even impossible — to pick the most absurd part of this animated news segment about Beyonce’s just-announced pregnancy. Is it the superstar offspring smoking a cigar like Baby Herman? Or doing the “Single Ladies” routine while resembling the dancing baby from Ally McBeal? What about Jay-Z delivering the baby out of a Virgin Mary-style Beyonce as Kanye West names this the “BEST PREGNANCY OF ALL TIME”? Actually, for us it’s the fact that “Nanny Minaj” is animated as white. Total WTF below! More »

“Justin And Selena As One” — that’s not the title of the latest gossip mag headline, it’s the official name of the nude portrait of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. Artist Daniel Edwards, of Britney-Spears-giving-birth-on-a-bearskin-rug -culpture-infamy, has returned with this artistic commentary on pop culture’s latest relationship obsession. We’re not sure what to say about the imagery of the teen pop stars conjoined at the hip, reportedly with “a Canadian maple leaf and a Texas lone star covering their most intimate parts.” At the very least, the Who Says songbird will not be pleased that she looks even less like herself than on her Fame comic book cover.

Saved By The Bell nostalgia has become something of a phenomenon in pop culture in the last few years — Jimmy Fallon tried to stage a reunion, Screech is releasing sex tapes and memoirs, and even Justin Bieber is celebrating the early 90s show through his wardrobe choices. However, today comes a new music video “New Romance”, that re-imagines the cheesy sitcom as though it were a slasher movie. We’re so excited! We’re so excited! We’re so… scared! More »

Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing In The Dark” video was a straight-up performance clip of The Boss grooving on stage with a short-haired woman who would eventually become Courteney Cox. (She was probably still Courteney Cox back then, but now she’s The Courteney Cox.) As it turns out, that wasn’t the first treatment of the video — found footage of Springsteen literally dancing in the dark on set of the first attempt of his video surfaced today, and it’s well worth the 27 years it took to come to our attention.

WTF: Chloe Lattanzi’s Suicideganza In Her “Play With Me” Video

If you thought Eminem’s “Space Bound” video (in which the rapper shoots himself point-blank) was disturbing to watch, then run away from your computer right now before you accidentally press play on Chloe Lattanzi’s “Play With Me”. Lattanzi is known for being Olivia Newton-John’s daughter and one of the stars of MTV’s Rock The Cradle, and in her debut music video, she self-harms herself in a multitude of ways: electrocuting herself in the tub, mutilating her arms, putting a gun to her head, bleeding out her eyes… Doesn’t she know It Gets Better?

Don’t shame us muggles, but no one here at Idolator HQ is all that familiar with the Harry Potter phenomenon. (Blame the fact that none of the movies’ soundtracks featured any regulars from the Top 40.) However, we realize many of you out there are both super excited (and extremely saddened) that the series is wrapping itself up with the release of the final installment this Friday, so luckily the Internet has given us something both camps can enjoy: Harry Potter-themed pop song parodies! And, my oh my, are there a lot of them. More »

So far in his career, Justin Timberlake has excelled at everything he’s tried — singing, dancing, acting, fashion, comedy, drama, being sexy… the list goes on. Golf aside, it turns out we don’t have to worry about JT becoming a professional athlete anytime soon, as evidenced by this video sketch from the upcoming 2011 ESPYs. Hop below to watch Timberlake try and fail and several collegiate sports — but mostly, check out his gams in a skirt as he attempts girls’ field hockey. More »

Kids React To Lady Gaga

June 12th, 2011 // 8 Comments

Over the past couple years or so, we’ve learned to take Lady Gaga’s many, um, eccentricities in stride. Meat dress? Okay. Donning a baby bump mid-performance on live TV? Fine. Songs about loving Jesus’ traitorous disciple, featuring lyrics about ear condoms? Sure, why not! But let’s take a moment to ponder the impression the currently aqua-bobbed fashion icon has on younger minds, shall we? The Fine Brothers have used their “Kids React To” YouTube series to do just that, revealing that the youth of America responds to Lady Gaga — well, just about the same way we do. Watch below.

With superstar mentors like Usher, Chris Brown, and Eminem, you might think Justin Bieber doesn’t seek advice from a onetime (sorry, Deb!) teen phenom like Debbie Gibson. You would probably be right — but that hasn’t stopped the Mega Python-battling singer from offering her two cents, anyway. The 80′s star has gone from tussling with Tiffany to touring with her, and now, in a series of short videos titled “What Would Debbie Do?”, the former teen star is offering counsel to current ones like Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, and Selena Gomez, tackling such issues as obsessive fans and name changes — not to mention a certain couple’s PDA. Watch below.
