“The Boy Is Mine” is a hard act to follow, but the new duet by Brandy and Monica is the very definition of underwhelming. “It All Belongs To Me” is their first song together in 14 years (do you feel old now?), but in all that time the best they could come up with is meh. But at least they’re singing about Facebook for cultural relevancy, right? I’m going to go listen to “The Boy Is Mine” on YouTube for some brainscrubbing. [Dlisted]

Watch Cute French Boys Sing Beyoncé!

French Women Secrets

If there’s one thing we love more than Beyoncé, it’s cute French boys. And our favorite gay blog Queerty is all over this awesome clip of two hotties named Bertrand and Mattieu, lip-synching and dancing their French asses off to “Crazy In Love.” It’s kind of the best thing ever — and proof that Bey is fabulous in any language!

The Hunger Games
Check out the trailer for the hotly anticipated film! Watch »

Are you ready for a sadz? Taylor Swift released a song she’s contributed to “The Hunger Games” soundtrack. “Safe and Sound” is a lovely, melancholy one. I love Taylor on her own, but the backup vocals from The Civil Wars elevate this song from good to great. What say you? [The Hollywood Reporter] Keep reading »

Watch Rivers Cuomo Sing “Tonight” From “West Side Story”


If you love Weezer (yes) and you love “West Side Story” (double yes), then you’ll love this video of Rivers Cuomo belting out Tony’s part from “Tonight.” He’s not quite ready for Broadway but he’s certainly better than your average high school musical. Leonard Bernstein won’t roll over in his grave, until this gets the Miley Cyrus cover treatment. [YouTube via NYmag.com Vulture] Keep reading »

Listen: Italian Oral Sex Song, “I’m Horny” (NSFW)

My new favorite pop star? Italy‘s Gionny Scandal. What an artiste! His new song, “I’m Horny,” features a bevy of barely legal blondes sucking lollipops and being sprayed in the face with whipped cream while they sing a chorus about giving him a blowjob. Everyone’s mamma must be so proud! [Europopped] Keep reading »

Watch Beyoncé’s “Run The World (Girls)” Video


Beyoncé debuted her “Run The World (Girls)” music video on “American Idol” last night and it’s the same-old Beyoncé motifs we know and (sometimes) love: scantily clad beauties declaring their independence and power through bellydancing. Queen Beyoncé’s got a court of statuesque handmaidens — and even a real, live lion. When a gang of nondescript male invaders penetrate her lady-sanctuary (no, that’s not a euphemism), Queen B challenges the blokes to a dance-off. I’ll let you guess who wins. Keep reading »

Pomplamoose Covers The Angry Birds Theme Song


Pomplamoose, an indie rock band beloved for their covers of “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” and “Beat It,” has now covered the Angry Birds theme song. How zeitgeist-y! I love this — even if it’s just not the same without those sinister piggie snorts. [YouTube] Keep reading »

St. Andrew’s Students Spoof “Bad Romance” With A Song About Kate And William


Covers of Lady Gaga‘s “Bad Romance” aren’t new — but this one is timely! The Other Guys, a men’s a cappella group at St. Andrews University in Scotland, where Prince William and Kate Middleton met, released a goofy cover called “Royal Romance” all about Kate and Wills. I must have made a huge mistake choosing where I went to college because all these St. Andrews guys are adorable. And the campus looks gorgeous! Do they have a grad school? [YouTube] Keep reading »

“Ravenclaws”: A Harry Potter “Friday” Parody

Rebecca Black‘s “Friday” parodies — there are many. But this Harry Potter one, called “Ravenclaws,” is delightfully fresh feeling. YouTube user Ginnyisaprincess put together this clip in a mere 11 hours. Someone’s got mad video-editing skillz, yo. [YouTube via The Mary Sue] Keep reading »

This Cee-Lo/Xtina/Adam Levine/Blake Shelton Cover Of “Crazy” Isn’t Half Bad

Pop song covers that become group projects have so much potential for failure and douche-itude. (See: Bret Michaels and Miley Cyrus duet, “Every Rose Has Is Thorn.”) But this “Crazy” cover by Cee-Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton on NBC’s new show, “The Voice,” is pretty damn hot. (But I’ll admit I’m biased, seeing as I believe Christina can do no wrong.) “Crazy” was Cee-Lo’s song originally, in case you didn’t know. NBC, put this on iTunes, please?
