Watch the Video for "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" by Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson is getting her flash mob on in the just-released video for "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" off of her latest album of the same name.

Flash mobs are little played out, but Ms. Clarkson look's adorably goofy while casually bopping around alongside other dancers in cute and corny clip.

Lady Gaga Explains the "Marry the Night" Video

Pop superstar Lady Gaga released the video for her newest single "Marry the Night" last week in a 14-minute epic story of the "worst night of her life."

Fans and critics have been analyzing the video for days, but now Gaga is setting the record straight about her self-indulgent clip, which she directed herself.

Check out the video of Lady Gaga's interview with Vevo.com after the jump:

Watch Adam Levine Do Yoga? Sure!

In the latest issue of Details magazine Adam Levine talks about his love for yoga, and how it keeps him grounded while on the road with Maroon 5.

"The 32-year-old singer, who is also a judge on NBC's The Voice, owes that body to a mix-and-match yoga regimen he practices at home, at the recording studio, and on the road. "At any Maroon 5 concert, you'll see a room backstage marked yoga," he says.

Living the plugged-in celebrity life in Los Angeles, Levine was aware of the yoga scene but initially kept his distance, turned off by what he calls "the cheesy clichés." But he began to worry that his gym routine was a dead end, hurting more than it helped: "Weights made my neck thick, and I would be like, 'I'm turning into a monster!'" As he grew increasingly frustrated by lower-back pain and tight hips and hamstrings, he decided to give yoga a try. That was five years ago, and Levine hasn't lifted a weight or entered a gym since. "Yoga takes what you have and molds and sculpts it, which is a much more natural way to look and feel," he says."

You read more of Levine's interview and see photos of him practicing at Details.com, but check out this lovely clip of Adam explaining his love for yoga and demo-ing some positions (giggity!) on video:


Perhaps I shall take up yoga after all...

6 Things: Songs I Recorded From the Radio

Maybe it's because I spent a long weekend at my parents house rummaging through old CDs from when I was younger, but I'm feeling extra nostalgic this morning.

So, to embrace those mid-to-late-nineties tingles inside of me I'd like to share with you the music videos of six songs I used to record from the radio onto cassette tapes when I was in middle school. Enjoy!

Sophia Grace and Rosie Interview Katy Perry and Others on the AMAs Red Carpet

Internet stars Sophia Grace and Rosie -- who got famous for their Nicki Minaj "Super Bass" clip -- are getting more time in the spotlight.


The dynamic duo served as red carpet correspondents for The Ellen DeGeneres Show for last Sunday's American Music Awards, and interviewed stars like Taio Cruz, Julie Bowen, Lady Antebellum and Lil John (whom they assumed was Lil Wayne's brother).

The best was when Katy Perry pushed her way through the crowd to get to them. The girls freaked out (poor audio tech!) and even sang a clip of "Firework" for Katy. Too cute! Check it out:

'Top Model' Dominique Reighard Releases New Single and Music Video

Looks Lisa D'Amato wasn't the only All-Star to benefit from the music video challenge on America's Next Top Model!


Dominique Reighard, originally from ANTM Cycle 10, demonstrated her previously unnoticed vocal skills when she made a music video for her original song "Tooch Ya Booty" during a challenge on All-Stars last week. Well, someone realized that Dom actually has some chops, so she recorded a new song on her own called and made a music video for it, too.

And guess what? It's pretty damn good!

Check out the video for Dominique's "On Top of the World" where she "slinks her ink" as Ms. Jay would say and spoofs her time on ANTM without overdoing the cheese-factor.

Watch the Video for "Weak" by Melanie C

Following up the hit lead single "Think About It" from her latest album The Sea Melanie C has just released the video for her song "Weak" exclusively on MelanieC.net.

"Weak" is the 22nd -- yes, 22nd! -- solo video for the former Spice Girl (check out my six favorite Melanie C videos here), and I have to say that Melanie is looking quite beautiful in the soulful and sorrowful clip. Check it out!

Kelly Clarkson Performs "Mr. Know It All" on 'Today'

While promoting her new (and amazing!) album Stronger, the original American Idol Kelly Clarkson stopped by NBC's Today show for a chat with Matt Lauer and to perform her latest single "Mr. Know It All." Check it out!

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Kelly is so cute and seems so humble and her voice is always on point!

Plus, I'm happy to report that it appears that Ms. Clarkson got a new stylist for this latest tour, because her hair and wardrobe are much-improved from past appearances. (Sorry, Kelly. I had to say it!)



Kelly Clarkson's new album Stronger is available on iTunes and in stores now!

Watch the Video for "We Found Love" by Rihanna

Rihanna felt some heat from an Irish farmer while shooting the video for her latest single "We Found Love," because he felt her shoot was a little too racy for his taste. Turns out, the shots from his farm were probably the most tame part of the pop star's new video.

Check out the clip of Rihanna and a "is-he-or-isn't-he-supposed-to-be-Chris-Brown" fella' as they fast forward through a whirlwind romance filled with sex, drugs and reckless youth.

Britney Spears' "I Wanna Go" Gets 'Hunger Games' Parody

This is by no means new, but somehow I just found it a few days ago. As someone who is moderately obsessed with The Hunger Games (the Capitol assigned me as a factory worker in District 8!) I love this parody music video set to "I Wanna Go" by Britney Spears.

In the clip Gale and Peeta battle it out in an attempt to woo the story's heroine Katniss Everdeen. Check it out:



Here's the lyrics, in case you are curious:

Watch the Video for "Countdown" by Beyonce

Beyonce may have debuted her baby bump at the 2011 Video Music Awards, but she is putting that babeyonce to work in the new video for her song "Countdown" from her album 4.

Watch Beyonce channel Audrey Hepburn and she gorgeously twirls, vamps and bats her eyelashes in this stylized clip.

Get More: Beyoncé, Music, More Music Videos

Sorry, but Beyonce can do no wrong in my book. Love everything she does!

Watch the Video for "Mr. Know-It-All" by Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson just released the video for her song "Mr. Know-It-All," the first single off her latest album Stronger (out October 24, 2011.) Check it out!


Any day we get a new song or video from Kelly Clarkson is a good day, but "Mr. Know-It-All" is not one of my favorites from Miss Independent. The song's good, and Kelly's voice is amazing as always, but to me the song and video just underwhelm. The tune slowly builds, but never really takes off.

Kelly looks beautiful, too, but does anyone else think she's secretly getting the Adele treatment? She's always shot from very close up or very far away. Or she's sitting down. Just an observation.

Side note! iTunes is offering Kelly Clarkson's first four albums at a bundled price! You can download Kelly Clarkson: The Collection (50 songs!) for only $19.99



Kelly Clarkson is amazing, so I hope we get to hear more jams when Stronger is released on October 24. What do you think of the video for "Mr. Know-It-All?" Leave a comment!

The Varying Headlines About Adele's 'Vogue' Cover

The gorgeous and amazingly talented Adele landed to cover of the October edition of British Vogue.


While Vogue's headline was "Adoring Adele: Hometown Girl Goes Global," other publications -- specifically blogs -- have had a wide variety of headlines about her appearance and the magazine's choice to put the curvy 23-year-old on its cover.

Take a look at some of the headline choices for stories about Adele's Vogue cover and their sources.

Adele Covers British Vogue, Says She'd Be the Face of 'Full-Fat Coke'
-- NYMag.com's The Cut

Adele to Vogue: 'I Puke Quite a Lot'
-- Gawker

Adele Says She's Not Worried About Her Body Image
-- FitPerez

Adele's Head Graces Cover of UK Vogue
-- Pedestrian.tv

Adele Talks Body Image Pride, Pre-Show Sickness In Vogue UK
-- Huffington Post

Adele: I Won't Let Weight Obsession Rule My Life
-- iVillage

I'm not going to obsess over being thinner or having bigger boobs, I don't want that in my life': Adele speaks out about her figure
-- The Daily Mail

Obviously the source greatly dictates the voice and angle of their coverage, but strange how none of the headlines seem to mention anything about her being a singer/artist at all... Only that she may be fat and/or not fat.

I particularly love the headline from Pedestrian.tv calling out the fact that Adele's "plus-sized" figure has been omitted from the cover.

What do you think of the focus on Adele's body, body image and weight? Leave a comment!

Watch the Video for "Cheers (Drink to That)" by Rihanna

Just in time for the weekend Rihanna has released the video for her latest single "Cheers (Drink to That)".

Watch the Video for "Yoü And I" by Lady Gaga

Although it leaked before it was supposed to debut, Lady Gaga was officially premiered the video for her latest single called "Yoü And I." Check it out!


So, let me get this straight... In the clip Gaga plays herself searching for her lover (code name: Nebraska) along a dirt road, a mermaid kept alive by a hot model in a barn, a Frankenstein-like version of herself and her male alter-ego, Jo Calderone. Makes sense to me!

Why Bravo's 'Platinum Hit' Is No One-Hit Wonder

By Sean Martin, Contributing Writer

One of this summer's freshest competition series, Platinum Hit -- which unfortunately did not become a hit for the network -- comes to an end tonight at 8pm on Bravo. The three remaining singer-songwriters are incredibly talented and extremely unique. The finalists are Sonyae Elise, the R&B/Hip Hop writer from Newark, NJ, Scotty Granger, the Pop/R&B song writer from New Orleans and Jes Hudak, the Pop/Soul song writer from upstate New York.


Scotty Granger, Sonyae Elise and Jes Hudak
When Bravo announced Platinum Hit earlier in the year, I had my doubts. What would make me want to watch song writers write songs? How is that going to hold my attention? Luckily, the concept for the series turned out to be a good one. And the casting didn’t hurt either. The group assembled for season one was diverse, with a bunch of big personalities (a necessity for reality TV). More importantly, the group was talented and the viewing audience this summer was treated to some really fantastic songs and performances.

Before I jump into my favorite songs of the summer, I want to put it out there that I know absolutely nothing about song writing. Several times, my favorite song was the one the judges liked the least -- usually Kara DioGaurdi, who I felt was particularly nasty. I prefer how a song sounds -- not necessarily the thought behind the lyrics. I’m your average music listener, which I think is important for a show like Platinum Hit. Although, I guess that’s why Ellen Degeneres was brought on board for American Idol and we all know how that worked out.

So, with the show's finale dropping tonight I thought I'd share my six favorite songs from Platinum Hit -- in no particular order:
