Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
You know you’ve outgrown your boy band status when you’re willing to give up the gaggles of groupies for marital life. Backstreet Man Boy, A.J. McLean is the most recent ex-heartthrob to make the vows. McLean and his long-time partner Rochelle Deanna Karidis, tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at the Beverly Hills Hotel over the weekend.
When a new artist hits the scene, adjectives like fresh and honest frequently get thrown around when, in many instances, it’s more hype than truth. But that’s definitely not the case when it comes to Luke James.

Imagine, if you will, what the worst day of Lady Gaga’s life might have been like. Maybe her MTV meat dress dried up into jerky. Maybe she forgot to leave the house without pants. Or maybe she lost one of her crazy hats. Nope – and as she makes perfectly clear in her new video “Marry the Night” that none of the above happened.
Lady Gaga’s latest music video debuted recently, and as Gaga had been teasing in the weeks before its arrival, depicts “one of the worst days of her life.” Mother Monster takes a bizarre trip to the hospital, performs ballet, dyes her hair, writhes naked in a bathtub like a scalded mermaid and dance, dance, dances in her new 14 minute video. The actual song doesn’t start until about the 8 minute mark in the video. Before that, Gaga does voice over for what are supposed to be semi-autobiographical scenes.
Remember C+C Music Factory? No? That’s okay – I’m old, so I do. Anyway, a long long time ago in a land called the 1990s there was a band that used one woman’s voice, and made it seem like a really hot woman was singing. But that hot woman was not, in fact, singing. Shameful, right? Well, one former Pussycat Doll is claiming the same thing is happening right now in 2011!
Detroit’s tough-skinned pop singer, Porcelain Black, is gearing up for the release of her latest single, “Naughty Naughty.” The unofficial, sexy black and white video was filmed during a recent show at The Factory in Los Angeles. The official video for the song will be released early next year.
AWOLNATION have recently released their video for current single “Not Your Fault.” Paying homage to classic 60s clay-mation/stop-motion animation, the video for “Not Your Fault” is a fantasy tale told with the band battling the Abominable Snowman, a fire breathing creature from the black lagoon, and in true AWOLNATION form – aliens in outer space… but all with brass knuckles, nun-chucks and ripped out beating hearts. “Not Your Fault” was directed by Cameron Duddy, who also helmed AWOLNATION’s “Sail” video, as well as Bruno Mars’ video for “The Lazy Song.”
