So… Demi Moore Smoked Some Fake Weed and Almost Died
Last year, when Miley Cyrus got bagged for smoking the legal hallucinogen, Salvia, no one was that surprised. A young girl, in the midst of finding herself and coming into a shit-ton of money. Kinda makes sense she would experiment a little bit. Thing is, it is a lot less acceptable when it is a 50 year old woman. Honestly, at that point, it comes across as a little sad.
Gaga Burnout: Someone Please Make Her Stop!
Alright, we will admit it. We were suckers for it at first. When “Bad Romance” and “Poker Face” came out, all the world sat up and said: Well, who is this? And Gaga answered. It seemed like everywhere you went you heard JUST DANCE in some version or another. The woman was hot. On top of the world. We all wondered what she would do next, and she consistently answered by displaying a real creativity when it came to public appearances and outfits. She showed she knew how to keep the press interested, and she even had a few catchy songs to back it up. The thing is, now that the dust has settled a little bit and the hype has died down, we are beginning to see her for what she really is. A slightly annoying hipster who is in constant need of attention, and will get that attention by any means she can.

Both of their videos feature a hot beat and both videos are equally reta…CRAZY. Which one is your favorite? Beyonce – Run The World (Girls) (Released in…
YouTube Charging Rental Fees for Viral Videos?
For a brief moment on Monday June 13, the world was forever changed due to Rebecca Black. This isn’t the first occasion that the “Friday” singer has impacted the world — the initial time being the release of the “Friday” video of course — but this time something happened without making major headlines. And before it made a huge impact…
Taylor Swift: “Story of Us” Video Review
Taylor Swift sure has a knack for layering depressing lyrics about heartbreak on top of a peppy country/pop/bluegrass soundtrack. If one were to read the lyrics to “The Story of Us,” he or she would think they were in for a gloomy tale of relationship disaster — which they are — but if he or she were just listening to…
O Music Awards actually happens
A few weeks ago we wrote about a new type of awards show that MTV was creating called the O Music Awards. We hinted that although the PR for the event was a bit confusing and made it seem like MTV was now our uncool parents trying to use hip words they shouldn’t be using, the awards show was a…
A great week for conspiracies
This past weekend was an amazing one for conspiracy theorists as the world was given answers to some of the biggest questions of all time involving music legends — as well as one conspiracy that has been around for a very long time that has nothing to do with music. OK, maybe the world did not actually get answers per…
MTV Creates New Online Awards Show; Sounds Like Your Mom Telling You What’s Cool
MTV used to be the innovator for all things music related. People went to the channel to see what was new and hip and who would be the next big name in the music industry. For the past few years, they have instead turned to creating reality celebrities whose only talents involve getting drunk on the beach, fighting in bars,…
YouTube Infiltrating Hollywood?
It’s no secret that YouTube, through the VEVO music video service, has provided the music industry with an amazing tool to release professionally produced music videos to millions of fans. YouTube has changed the music industry forever. The amount, and quality, of music videos have shot through the roof in the past few years with the likes of Lady Gaga,…
