If you thought it was crock that Rihanna’s new music video, Where Have You Been, didn’t feature more of her crocodile bikini, then you’re in luck. Rihanna has posted behind-the-scenes photos on her facebook page that show her from every angle. She says it took 8 hours to paint the crocodile scales on her body but that’s probably just because the makeup artist was taking his time

Islands’ catchy song “Hallways” just got a little more memorable with the release of the music video. It’s co-directed by Lex Halaby & puppeteer Toben Seymour and features the band’s singer-songwriter Nick Thorburn performing with, and then joining, an exuberant band of skeleton musicians. It’s reminiscent of the Grateful Dead “Touch Of Grey” music video but these skeletons are much more animated. “From the beginning we talked with Nick about

Last Halloween LAIKA, the animation studio behind Coraline, introduced us to their newest creepy kid ParaNorman with a spine tingling trailer set to the psychedelic song “Season of the Witch” by Donovan. In the new family friendly, but less groovy, trailer we learn more about Norman’s paranormal ability to see dead people including his Grandmother and other not-so-friendly ghosts. ParaNormal Release Date: August 17, 2012 Trailers below

In a very special holiday episode of Community, the gang gets into the Christmas spirit whether they like it or not. The Glee teacher recruits Jeff and his friends after an anonymous tip about copyright infringement shuts the glee club down. One by one they are seduced by song into joining, and I do mean seduced. Annie gives Jeff a lap dance while parodying Madonna’s cutesy version of “Santa Baby”

Kids are listening to more music than ever, an average of 2.5 hours a day, and researchers at Brigham Young University think it’s corrupting their young impressionable minds with sexually explicit lyrics. BYU published the study in the journal Sexuality & Culture, which looked at Billboard Hot 100 year-end songs from 1959, 1969, 1979, 1989, 1999, & 2009. It found that lyrics have become significantly more likely to contain sexualization,

Aimi Eguchi seemed to come out of nowhere. The 16-year-old went from “trainee” in the Japanese idol group AKB48 to spokesmodel for Glico candy. Too good to be true. Aimi is actually a computer-generated composite of 6 of the group’s most attractive members. Glico released a video showing the face tracking software used to create Aimi, along with an online idol maker but the results are on par with that

You probably know Jon Fratelli, whether you realize it or not, from his work with The Fratellis. The band literally had commercial success with hits like “Chelsea Dagger” and “Flathead” which were featured in Safeway & iPod ads, respectively. Roger Daltrey praised, “They remind me of The Who when we were starting out in the ’60s. The same vibe, and great songs.” Like Daltrey, Jon Fratelli is starting a solo

Lots of stores sell holiday albums, but Target actually made their own! The store chain commissioned 14 original Christmas songs. But these aren’t some short 30 second jingles made just for TV spots. The Christmas Gig 2010 album features full-length songs complete with their own music videos. Granted they’re just static shots of a red record playing on a turntable, but it beats the yule log. Undoubtedly, you’ve  already seen

Jackass 3D has broken all kinds of  records, not just for the biggest October opening, but also for being the first movie I’ve seen in the theater since Deep Blue Sea (1999) and the first 3D movie that didn’t need red and blue glasses. If ever there was a movie made for 3D, it’s Jackass. However, there’s a great introduction by the original jackasses, Beavis and Butthead, that masterfully lowers

Katy Perry has cleaned up the lyrics of her single “Hot N Cold” to sing a duet with Elmo but it seems the G-rated version was still too hot for Sesame Street, or at least moms, who complained Perry showed too much cleavage. Sesame Workshop has pulled the segment saying, “In light of the feedback we’ve received on the Katy Perry music video which was released on YouTube only, we

After the Federal Trade Commission declared annualcreditreport.com is the only truly free credit report website, Experian decided to rebrand their service from freecreditREPORT.com to freecreditSCORE.com. Today Experian officially announced the new website will have a new spokesband: Victorious Secrets, whose commercials will premiere on Sept 12 during the MTV Music Awards. The freecreditreport.com “band” aren’t the only ones being replaced, so is the grimacing old lady who was a recurring

When I first saw this Pepcid Complete commercial parodying a fast food restaurant, I immediately scoured the internet to find out who was the adorable actress playing Debra the cashier. Everything about her exudes cuteness: her eyes, her voice, even the little gap between her teeth. Unfortunately, all I found was a lot of other people desperately searching for her as well. Eventually the commercial stopped airing and I stopped

SuicideGirls: Guide to Living is the newest movie from SuicideGirls.com, an adult website dedicated to pierced, tattooed, and all-around unconventional models. Hostesses Rambo, Rigel, Radeo, Friskey, and Chloe promise to “teach you 13 essential life lessons” ranging from How to Tie a Tie to How to Kill a Vampire. But instead of a series of long-winded instructions that would put you to sleep, each how-to is presented like a music

Kristen Dunst got all dolled up last summer to sing a cover of “Turning Japanese” by The Vapors. The film titled “Akihabara Majokko Princess” was part of the “Pop Life: Art in a Material World” exhibit at London’s Tate Modern museum. Co-creator Takashi Murakami explains “I believe that real art is centered in entertainment and I wanted to show that with this piece.” I may not know much about art

Conan O’Brien has decided to take the money and run rather than be bumped to 12:05 AM. NBC will pay out a reported $40 million, $10 million of which will be give to Coco’s crew. According to O’Brien’s publicist “That has been the first point in his discussions and would be a dealbreaker if his staff isn’t taken care of.” Conan couldn’t save everyone on the show though. NBC will
