New Video: Teddybears Featuring Cee Lo And The B-52s, 'Cho Cha'

Swedish electro band Teddybears might make fun, dance-y music now, but did you know that they used to be a scary grindcore band? It's true! They've changed quite a lot since then, but their abiding love of horror imagery comes through in the video for their new song "Cho Cha." (You can Google that Spanish slang term yourself.)

Although both The B-52s and Cee Lo Green are featured on the track, neither appears in the video, per se. But Cee Lo voices a teddy bear puppet that is later used by the video's villain as a super creepy tool with which to taunt the young woman he is stalking. Um, that's kinda rude, Cee. Also in the video? The guy who stalked Tiffany and was featured in the documentary "I Think We're Alone Now." Seriously.

After invading her home and tying her up, the puppet-wielding predator puts the woman in a steampunk contraption, which turns her into some sort of cat monster. (Get it? Cat, as in pussycat, as in... [bleep].) She then bites off his head, and a teddy bear head grows in its place. And suddenly they are... in love? It's all very confusing, and mildly unsettling, but also entertaining if you're into cosplay or weird things or fun. One thing's for certain: Teddybears' imagination is definitely unique.

New Video: The Beastie Boys, 'Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win'

Posted 7/19/11 2:15 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music, Videos

Get ready for the sleeper hit of the summer! In keeping with their grand tradition of making action-packed videos, The Beastie Boys have delivered once again with the Spike Jonze-directed video for their new single, "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win," featuring Santigold. And this time, they're action figures.

As the scene opens on "The Continuingly Ill Adventures Of The Beastie Boys," the guys are going about business as usual, playing a concert with their pal Santi. Then, out of nowhere, a shadowy anti-Beastie Boys operative tries to assassinate them. Oh no!

I'm not going to spoil the whole thing for you, but you can sure as hell bet the Boys don't take this lying down. What follows is an 11-minute saga involving chase scenes, cheesy jokes, burning action figures, underwater explosions and one surprisingly helpful Yeti (??). Santigold gets in on the action as well, piloting a submarine and even water-skiing a bit.

Although the song recedes into the background at times, Santi's lyrics are actually very descriptive of the action: This gang of Brooklyn hip-hoppers are most definitely playing to win.

New Video: Bow Wow, 'You Drinking Too Much'

Posted 7/18/11 4:00 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music, Videos


Credit: Getty Images

The artist formerly known as Lil Bow Wow has matured quite a lot since we first met him. When he made his rap debut at age 13, he wasn't even old enough to drink, and now, he has a kid of his own. "She inspires me to go harder. Even made me treat my mother better, it's like it made me into a man over night," he wrote of his fatherhood experience. All together now: "Awww."

So it was perhaps with this in mind that Bow Wow decided to confront what seem to be his own issues with alcohol (and by extension, many people's) on the latest single, "You Drinking Too Much," off his mixtape, "Greenlight 4." The video, which focuses directly on his face for the duration (kind of Blair Witch style), shows him pretending to get plastered and going to a pretty dark place. But even while plastered and making crazy faces, Bow Wow is adept with a lyric.

Basically, "You Drinking Too Much" lures you in with the message, and it makes you stay for the rhymes. And of course, as Bow Wow would advise, remember to imbibe responsibly.

Diggy Simmons Gets Experimental In 'Copy, Paste' Video Sneak Peek

Posted 7/18/11 1:15 pm EST by in Music, Videos

If you're thinking about trying to copy up-and-coming MC Diggy Simmons' style, think again: You can't. At least that's the assertion he sets forth in his new track, "Copy, Paste." In a just-released sneak peek of the song's video, he makes the idea literal with a bizarre laboratory setup in which a team of sexy scientists tries to clone the adorable wunderkind. Foolish sexy scientists! You're never going to win a Nobel prize if you keep attempting to do the impossible!

"'Copy, Paste' is about giving an anthem to original people, innovators, people that feel like their style's been copy, pasted," Simmons told Rap-Up.com about the video. "I'm in a laboratory, and I'm hooked up to wires and different stuff. I have, like, a bandage over my stomach. There's laboratory girls in the scene, but it's just about them trying to copy and paste me." Phew! I thought there might've been something lascivious going on.

In any case, it looks from the preview clip like the Diggy Simmons' full "Copy, Paste" video is going to be a whole lot of fun. And like maybe that scientist Halloween costume I was thinking about wasn't such a bad idea.

Lil Wayne Samples Adele (?!!!) On Mixtape Title Track, 'Sorry 4 The Wait'

Posted 7/14/11 3:30 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music


Credit: FilmMagic

Of all the people who've recently covered or in some way referenced Adele's hit song "Rolling In The Deep" (Britney Spears, The xx), Lil Wayne might seem like the least likely. And yet, here he is, sampling it on the title track of his new mixtape "Sorry 4 The Wait." And guess what -- totally nails it.

On the short, almost teaser-like track, Lil Wayne reiterates, "Sorry for the wait, man," before launching into the kind of insanely clever rhyming that made us care about whether or not he'd ever release another album again in the first place. The swelling piano works well here, building up the intensity for almost the track's entire length, and especially amusing similes/metaphors include, "Weezy go hard like Cialis" and "I stink cause I got a lot of s*** on my mind." Still waiting on your greeting card line, Weezy.

Maybe Lil' Wayne will collaborate with Adele in a more direct way now, who knows! But one thing's for sure: If this is the amuse bouche he's serving up to hold us over, imagine how delectable the main course will be. We would NEED to see video from that recording session.

+ Listen to Lil Wayne's "Sorry 4 The Wait."

Preview Maroon 5's 'Moves Like Jagger' Video

Posted 7/14/11 12:52 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music, Videos

Finally, someone appreciating Mick Jagger for something other than the fact that his name rhymes with "swagger." (Come on, guys, he was only one of the most influential musicians of all time.) In a preview clip for Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger" video, Adam Levine showcases his best Jagger moves, and he does a lot of them shirtless, which is A-OK by us. Christina Aguilera also makes a cameo!

Regarding the rock icon's "moves," Levine told MTV News, "[His moves are] a very carefully calculated, but slightly spastic, incredible rhythmic experience, in which all of your limbs and every bone in your body is moving at completely different times, and it's impossible to re-create. Nobody has moves like Jagger. That's kind of the point... That's why the song is so fun -- it's fun to try." But it's not Levine who tries in the video preview.

The short clip features Mick Jagger in all his sexy, spastic glory, working the crowd and singing about how he's got the moves like... himself. But we haven't quite figured it out -- either someone is great at editing archival footage, or we've got an excellent impersonator on our hands. Maybe the full video may reveal the answer.

10 Things To Know Now: Kanye West's Clothing Line, Lady Gaga's Internship + Justin Bieber's Bad Karaoke!

Posted 7/13/11 5:36 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music

Hello again, and welcome to "10 Things To Know Now," our weekly round-up of all things Internet-y and celebtastic. Let's begin!

1.) For all their vocal chops, it's nice to know Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are kind of cheesy when they do karaoke (as one should be). Nobody likes a show-off. (Vulture)

2.) Haberdashery enthusiast Lady Gaga has announced she will intern with famed milliner Philip Treacy this summer. Something tells me this is going to be a little bit different from the usual "go get me a cup of coffee" kind of internship. (Popdust)

3.) With all his sartorial smarts, it was only a matter of time before Kanye West created a line of his own. Sources say he will debut his first womenswear (!) line at New York's next Fashion Week. (Grazia)

4.) Check out this awesome vocal mix of Britney Spears singing "Hold It Against Me" without any Auto-Tune. In your face, haters! (Oh No They Didn't)

5.) It looks like Katy Perry has taken the planking craze to a whole new level -- planking in a mermaid costume on the set of her new music video. This is awesome and all, but I'm not sure I agree with her tweeted assertion that "#itswhatArielwoulddo." (Celebuzz)

6.) Auto-Tune masters The Gregory Brothers made a hilarious remix of that eHarmony cat lady video...that sounds a lot like Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)." (Crushable)

7.) Chris Brown has been accused of using anti-gay slurs during a pickup basketball game. Assuming it's true, this is the second time in one year. Not cool, Chris. (Salon)

8.) Ryan Reynolds and Charlize Theron are reportedly dating. Can you say "hottest couple ever"? (Just Jared)

9.) On his show the other night, Anderson Cooper (sort of) apologized for making fun of Snooki's book, and read some parts out loud to showcase the tiny terror's unique literary voice. (BuzzFeed)

10.) Think you like "Harry Potter"? I'm willing to bet you don't like it as much as this English farmer, who made a giant corn maze dedicated to the magical book and movie franchise. (Yahoo)

WATCH: Cassie's Insanely Hot 'Make You A Believer' Video Teaser

Posted 7/13/11 12:19 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music, Videos

Credit: FilmMagic

R&B singer and Vibe magazine pinup girl Cassie is more than just a pretty face--but that doesn't mean her face isn't still very, very pretty. In a behind-the-scenes teaser clip for her new video, "Make You A Believer," she does all manner of very sexy things: smokes a cigarette topless, drinks seductively from a big red cup, hitchhikes in only her underwear and poses suggestively with a dripping garden hose near her mouth (euphemisms for everyone!). Just another day in the life of a permanently sexy, only occasionally smiley singer/model, I guess.

The fact that "Make You A Believer" features rap veteran Jadakiss only makes it hotter. Homeboy knows a thing or two about "seducing the ladies" (if that's what you want to call it). And clocking in at almost a minute and 30 seconds, this video is only the teaser. Imagine how smokin' the full version should be. I'm guessing surface of the sun: instant crispiness. As if it wasn't hot enough outside, now I have to turn up my AC.

New Video: Spice Featuring Missy Elliott, 'Fun'

Posted 7/12/11 4:30 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music, Videos


Credit: Atlantic Records

It's shaping up to be a week of welcome comebacks by much-missed artists. First, Lil Wayne pacified his fans with "Tunechi's Back," and now Missy Elliott, who's been taking a break from music while battling Graves' disease, can be heard rapping on a track by Jamaican dancehall star Spice, succinctly titled "Fun." (And don't forget last week's dose of Justin Timberlake.)

According to The Jamaica Star, the remix came as a surprise to Spice, who was stoked and honored the famous femcee would want to rap over her song. "One day my manager played the song for me, and I didn't know about the remix, and when I heard Missy on it, I was over the roof," she told the paper. "Missy ripped it up. The beat is a dancehall beat, it's not trying to be hip-hop and she did well on it."

So once Missy Elliott has remixed your song, why not celebrate by making a video? The new "Fun" video (the song's second one) features Spice and Missy cavorting with friends in a tropical location, splashing in a pool, dancing and generally, well, having fun. A little simplistic? Perhaps. A lot delightful? Most definitely.
