Megaupload enlists Will.i.am, Chris Brown, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian & more for latest ad (video)
SIDE NOTE: I don't know why Megaupload felt the need to do this advertisement and/or why they enlisted so many celebrities for the project, but I like it. The song is catchy as hell! And Macy Gray is in it. When's the last time you heard her voice on a single?!
Go Megaupload!

(Not-So-New) Music VIDEO!: Lana Del Rey in 'Born To Die'
The other day, I revealed my new found obsession of new artist Lana Del Rey. I sung praises of her premiere single, "Video Games," and I feel the same of her latest single, "Born To Die." I think it's brave, different, compelling and beautiful. And her deep, soulful voice only adds to the beauty of the song.
The video, directed by Woodkid, speaks volumes in its imagery and production.
Lana Del Rey's debut album, Born To Die, hits stores and digital shelves January 30.

New MUSIC!: Lana Del Rey in 'Off to the Races'
SIDE NOTE: She's different, isn't she? This one might grow on me, but "Video Games" is my absolute favorite!

(Not-So-New) Music VIDEO!: Lana Del Rey in 'Video Games'
SIDE NOTE: I'm mad that I'm just finding out about this song and this artist. Lana Del Rey's voice is absolutely beautiful. It's deep, soothing, and, frankly, is something I haven't heard in a while and wasn't expecting. It's sort of like the first time I heard Amy Winehouse's voice. I was a bit taken aback for the first time in years.
I'm definitely going to download her album and see what she's all about. This will probably be the album that I play throughout the holidays and for the next few months.
If you guys haven't checked out Lana Del Rey yet, you definitely should! :)
CORRECTION: Lana Del Ray's debut album, Born To Die, is due for release January 30. For more information, visit her official website.

Nicole Scherzinger WOWs with 'Phantom of the Opera' performance at Royal Variety gala (video)
I am a huge, HUGE fan of The Phantom of the Opera and everything that comes with it. Therefore, when I heard that former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger was asked to sing the part of Christine for a performance of the title song at the Royal Variety gala, I was a bit skeptical. Now, it must be said that Phantom is a musical and not an opera (despite its title), but the idea of someone with her "vocal talents" taking on such a big role really threw me off.
After watching the performance last night, however, let's just say that all of my presumptions of her have been thrown out of the window. She did a fantastic job. Yes, she's no Sierra Boggess, but more soul and power came out of her voice than I would have ever dreamed of. I am so proud of her and from what I've seen from around the blogosphere, she's garnered a multitude of more fans from that performance.
Let me not forget the four outstanding Phantoms that performed alongside her: Ramin Karimloo, John Owen-Jones, Simon Bowman and Earl Carpenter. They were fantastic as always.
Bravo to you all. :)

Rihanna scores 11th No. 1 single with 'We Found Love'
"That Rihanna reign just won't let up!" She spoke the words loud and clear in the third single, "Hard," from her fourth album, Rated R, and has proved its validity time and time again. For "We Found Love," the premiere single from Rihanna's sixth upcoming album, Talk That Talk, climbed to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart this week, making it her 11th No. 1 single.
Coldplay's 'Mylo Xyloto' debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200
International rock sensation Coldplay has done it again. After surprising fans over the summer with their first single in two years, "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall," followed by another, "Paradise," the band's latest album (of which both singles stem), Mylo Xyloto, debuted at the No. 1 spot on Billboard 200 chart this week, selling more than 447,000 copies.

Rihanna bares it all in new video, production brought to a halt (photos)
Rihanna has certainly taken an "unclad" route for the visual production of her new single "We Found Love."
Rihanna flaunts bandana bra in new music video (photos)
SIDE NOTE: I'm not sure if these are shots (see the other one below) from the "We Found Love" video shoot. If one can remember from her Rated-R days, she shot and released the video for "Wait Your Turn" before the video for "Russian Roulette" was released, the album's leading single.

YouTube: Is this the 'dopest' YouTube ad ever?
SIDE NOTE: I'm not saying that I (or the people that have watched this) agree 100% with the things said in this video (because obviously, the creator wants you to choose a side), but the overall production of it is outstanding.
I saw this as ad posted before a RWJ video and I could not take my eyes off of it. Wow.
