Kim Kardashian, who hopes to have a second career as a recording artist, never released a video for her song “Jam (Turn It Up).” And judging from this 54-second clip that Perez Hilton leaked, we totally get why. It’s awful. Basically, it’s a slew of pervy shots of Kim’s butt in slow motion as she crawls around in a pair of hot pink vinyl hot pants that are riding up her cheeks. Yes, you can even kinda see her crack. Ironically, this leak comes on the heels of the news that her sex tape will soon be disappearing from the interwebs, thanks to an anonymous client who has bought it. Perhaps this is Kris Humphries’ wedding gift to his new bride? But now what’s he gonna do about this video? [Huffington Post, Chicago Tribune] Keep reading »

Culturista: Your Guide To The Week From “Shark Night 3D” To Beirut’s New Album
Sadly, it is the last week in August. The past few weekends have been nasty out (thanks a lot Irene) and thus, I’m starting to get a little depressed about the fact that summer is slipping away. But never fear. As a friend reminded me the other week, this amazing season actually lasts until September 23rd. So schedule in a few last barbecues and a beach trip. And check out this week’s best movies, TV shows, albums and more. Keep reading »
Taylor Swift And Justin Bieber Do A Duet Of “Baby”
In case you needed proof that Bieber Fever is nowhere near over, check out the audience reaction when, during a Taylor Swift concert at the Los Angeles Staples Center on Tuesday night, Taylor brought Justin Bieber on stage for a duet of “Baby.” “Who wants to see my friend Justin?” Taylor asks, as the mostly female audience loses their minds. Something tells me the moment wasn’t impromptu, judging by the fact that Justin’s cadre of dancers came onstage with him for what appeared to be a highly choreographed moment. But still, I have to imagine that this moment is heaven for many tweens in the USA. [Billboard] Keep reading »
OK Go Makes Beautiful Music With The Muppets
OK Go makes awesome music videos. The only thing that could make one of their epics even better? Muppets! Luckily, the band contributed a song to The Green Album, the new collection of Muppet cover songs. My favorite moment? When the guys hop on their signature treadmills—and Bunsen and Beaker speed them up. Oh, and there’s a special twist ending. Amazing. [AV Club] Keep reading »
Lindsay Lohan, The Persecuted Graffiti Artist?
Lindsay Lohan‘s first staring role since her release from house arrest is in the music video for Miggs’ new song, “Let the Games Begin.” In the video, Lindsay plays a model/actress by day. But by night, she is a “world famous street artist known for his social commentary,” even though authorities have vowed to arrest “him.” This is obviously an allegory for Lindsay’s life. Frontman Don Miggs expalins, “She hasn’t beaten her kids or cheated on her husband. She isn’t Tiger Woods or Mel Gibson. She hasn’t done things that have hurt other people.” Keep reading »
“The Green Album” Croaks New Life Into Kermit Classics
What is it exactly about Kermit, Gonzo, Miss Piggy, and Fozzie Bear that makes me want to tap my toes? Two years ago, I heard whispers that an album of Muppet cover songs was happening. At the time, it was called The Muppets Remastered—it’s since been changed to The Green Album. And today it is finally out. My favorite song is definitely Andrew Bird’s cover of “It’s Not Easy Being Green.” But Weezer and Hayley WIlliams’ “The Rainbow Connection” is pretty sweet too, as is Matthew Nathanson’s “I Hope That Something Better Comes Along.” As Slate notes, however, there is one oversight—what happened to “She Makes Me Happy,” Kermit and Miss Piggy’s wedding song from “The Muppets Take Manhattan”? But hey, it’s still pretty thrilling.

AC/DC Rocks The Wine Making Biz
Today is your very lucky day. Because you can go to your local wine store and ask, “Hey, do you have any bottles of AC/DC?” and they will not look at you like you are crazy. Yep, the rockers from down under have released their own line of vino. Which I find strange because, when I think of AC/DC, the corresponding alcohol isn’t wine— rum and coke or Jagermeister shots seem more fitting for the guys who made their mark rocking out in shorts. But hey, they’ve tried to edge up the product by giving the varieties names like “Highway to Hell” Cabernet Sauvignon and “You Shook Me All Night Long” Muscat. Buying birthday gifts for my guy friends just got a lot easier. [NY Daily News] Keep reading »
Lady Gaga’s Video For “Yoü and I” Is Intentionally As Confusing As Love
Yesterday, Lady Gaga‘s video for “Yoü and I” was supposed to premiere on MTV at exactly 7:49p.m. However, after it leaked earlier in the week, Gaga jumped the gun on unveiling the video, which features her as mermaid Yuyi and as dude Jo Calderone, as well as rocking her mother’s actual wedding dress. To make it up to MTV, Gaga still sat down with Sway at the anointed time to talk about the video. Because the song has that umlaut in the name, I had wondered if it was a reference to Lüc Carl. And that sure appears to be the case, though perhaps they are broken up after all? “I wrote the song about this guy that I used to date … Sometimes in love, you can’t make it work,” said Gaga. “No matter what you do, there’s this giant boundary between you and someone else. So that’s what it’s about, perceiving in your imagination that there’s something magical inside of you that you can make it work.” Whoa. That’s kinda very true. Keep reading »
Jennifer Lawrence Records Song For “The Hunger Games”
Surprise! Jennifer Lawrence is not only stunning and an amazing actress who got an Oscar nomination right out of the gate; the girl apparently has pipes, too. Like Robert Pattinston did for the “Twilight” soundtrack, Jennifer has recorded a song for her movie, “The Hunger Games.” The song is called “Rue’s Lullaby” and she worked with Danny Elfman and producer T-Bone Burnett, the guy behind “Crazy Heart,” on it. And T-Bone says she rocked. “It was beautiful,” he said. “She did great. She’s singing great.” Might we see a musical in her future? Or perhaps she and Rob can start a superband?
