Hollywood hair metal dreamers Steel Panther have launched an all out attack on the pop mainstream with their newest video “Death to All But Metal”. Asserting their alpha male dominance with plenty of hairspray, spandex, and sick stage moves, Steel Panther have taken shots against anyone NOT flying the hair metal flag. Kanye West, Madonna, and 50-Cent are among the superstars targeted by lead singer Michael Starr’s wrath in the clip.
“Death to All But Metal” is an homage to Van Halen’s classic “Hot For Teacher” video and also features a cameo by smart mouth comedienne Sarah Silverman as the school principal.
Steel Panther’s new album, Feel The Steel, hits stores on 6/9 (how fitting is that date?!)
Check out Steel Panther’s new video for “Death To All But Metal” below:
It looks like Eminem is paying some homage to the film ‘Rain Man’ in his upcoming music video for his brand new single ‘We Made You’. In the Academy award winning film, Tom Cruise exploits Dustin Hoffman’s autistic genius to win big in Las Vegas. Dressed in gray suits with white ties, Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent recreate a similar-looking scene in ‘Rain Man’. The video will air on April 7th. I hope the gimmick proves to be a success for him. He needs to make up for all the time that he’s been gone. Eminem won’t get much if he delivers short.
Pussycat Dolls have just premiered the video for their version of A R Rahman’s Oscar winning “Jai Ho!” “It was such a great honor to be able to re-write my own version of the lyrics,” said PCD’s Nicole Scherzinger who worked with producer Ron Fair on the new interpretation of the track. The Dolls shot the video for “Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny)” at an abandoned train station museum in snowy Vienna with director Thomas Kloss (Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus).
“Get On Your Boots” has been directed by French film maker and artist Alex Courtes. Alex and former creative partner Martin Fougeral directed the Grammy winning video for “Vertigo”, and also directed the video for “City of Blinding Lights”.
The video was shot in London and features the band performing against complex graphic art designed by Courtes.
Speaking of the song and the video, The Edge has said, “It’s based around the idea that men have f**ked things up so badly, politically, economically and socially, that it’s really time we handed things over to women. The finished video is brilliant. He’s really nailed it.”
“Get On Your Boots” is the first single from U2’s 12th studio album No Line On The Horizon, out 2nd March 2009.
Jennifer Hudson is pictured getting her hair and makeup done on the set of her music video for her new single ‘If This Isn’t Love’. The video is scheduled to be released in time for Valentine’s Day. The 27-year old former American Idol also made her first public performance by singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl pregame festivities this past Sunday. She was amazing! Jennifer will then sing at the MusiCares Person of the Year Gala on February 6th and at the Grammys on February 8th. It’s great to see hear back to work after everything that has happened. Welcome back!
New album No Line On The Horizon out March 3rd

Christina Milian has a new music video for her song ‘Up Against the World’. It’s the first single from the 27-year old singer’s upcoming album ‘Dream in Color’ which is due out in April 2009. The song is her first single since she got dropped by Def Jam Records back in 2006, allegedly because of Rihanna. Christina, who is currently signed with MySpace Records/Interscope, wrote the song herself and describes it as a “cinematic power ballad”. The song is cool and all but I still don’t think she’s any match for Rihanna. I doubt there’s anyone in this decade that can match Rihanna.
Go behind the scenes with rocker Chris Cornell on the set of his new video for “Scream.” Watch Chris discuss the concept behind the video and the unique, dreamlike quality that director Alan Ferguson (Fall Out Boy, Jay-Z) helps create. “Scream” is the title track off of the forthcoming album produced by Timbaland due out this year.
I guess it was still too early as Jennifer Hudson has pulled out of plans to film a new music video this week. The Oscar winner, who is still grieving, is not yet ready to get back to her work routine after the tragic slaying of three of her beloved family members. A source said “The video was set up before the tragedy and she felt like she should finish what she started, but she’s realized that she’s not ready to go back to work. It’s too early.” Send some positive energy and thoughts her way and hope that it helps. If justice can be served soon, then she can fully move on.

Lenny Kravitz has just unveiled the video for “Dancin’ Til Dawn,” the third single off his 8th studio album, It Is Time For a Love Revolution. The video was shot and directed by seminal French photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino who has helmed videos for Madonna, David Bowie, Sting, Bjork and more. The single, “Dancin’ Til Dawn” comes across as the materialization of a career that has spanned almost two decades of classic rock, old-school soul and gritty funk sculpted into a contemporary rock smash.
The fourteen tracks that complete It Is Time For A Love Revolution were written, recorded and produced by Lenny Kravitz himself

Rihanna was spotted filming the music video for her latest single ‘Rehab’ with Justin Timberlake in Vasquez Rocks Park, outside of Los Angeles, recently. Justin and producer pal Timbaland wrote the song for the Barbadian babe and also contributed backing vocals in the bridge. In one sequence, Justin arrives on a motorcycle to meet with Rihanna at her trailer. He then takes a shower with pink water and proceeds to get up close and personal with the 20-year old bombshell on the hood of an oldies car. That sounds hot! Other scene include Justin serenading Rihanna outside her trailer, Justin playing a pinball machine and also laying on a giant rocket while playing guitar.
One of the most highly anticipated albums in rock history, the long-awaited Chinese Democracy (Black Frog/Geffen Records) will be available globally on November 23 on CD and vinyl (accompanied by a free digital download of the tracks), and as a separate digital album.
Produced by Axl Rose and Caram Costanzo, Chinese Democracy includes 14 tracks. The title track and first single from the album, “Chinese Democracy”, was released to radio at 5:00AM eastern time today. Two of the recordings have been recently released–“Shackler’s Revenge” debuted September 14 in the “Rock Band 2” videogame and “If The World” debuted October 11 in the film Body Of Lies.
“The release of Chinese Democracy marks a historic moment in rock ‘n’ roll,” said Irving Azoff and Andy Gould, Guns N’ Roses’ co-managers, “and we’re launching with a monumental campaign that matches the groundbreaking sound of the album itself. Guns N’ Roses fans have every reason to celebrate, for this is only the beginning.”
The guys in Plain White T’s have learned a bit about life since “Hey There Delilah” and that’s no more evident than in the new video for the infectious single, “Natural Disaster”. No longer is the band wallowing after long gone college sweethearts; this time they’re the ones with the upper hand as they swagger into the club and can have their pick of any girl who crosses their path. Is Delilah is the one who’s jealous now?
Watch the video for “Natural Disaster” here, and the new album Big Bad World is in stores September!
Sources have revealed that Madonna’s next single off of her upcoming album ‘Hard Candy’ will be ‘Give It to Me’. The song is a banger which was produced by Pharell. It is also being said that the Queen of Pop has already gone to work on the video already. Shooting apparently went down last Thursday in London. I wonder what the song sounds like and what the video will look like. Will she still look as glamorous as she did in the video for ‘4 Minutes (To Save the World) with Justin Timberlake? I wonder if Pharell will make a cameo appearance.
But Heidi fans, don’t despair! It’s all for his latest video.
Heidi and the kids stayed at home while Seal played on the beach with a sexy model. He was shooting his new music video in Malibu Friday. No cheating involved for the devoted couple
