Before we discuss the actual video, I just wanted to share that Jennifer Lopez’s new music video made history. “Follow The Leader”, a collaboration with Wisin Y Yandel, was the first music clip to have its premiere on Twitter. Whether or not this starts a trend remains to be seen. Maybe the song’s title will prove prophetic if other musical acts do “Follow The Leader” which in this case is J. Lo. Back to the video.
Interestingly enough, I found myself sorta captivated watching it. Lopez channels her inner Zoe Saldana in “Columbiana” (yup I watched that wretched movie) and Parkours all over Acapulco, Mexico. From people’s bedrooms, to apartment complexes to rooftops, Lopez shows off her free running skills. Obviously, all the dangerous stunts weren’t performed by “Jenny From The Block” and instead a body double did all the tricks. That said, the editors did a great job of camouflaging that fact. Watch the video below and see if you can spot her doppleganger. Speaking of camouflage, Lopez gets all tatted up in the clip, sporting a “Lideres” tattoo on her collarbone and dragon-like body art on her back.

I love watching haters get called out on their bullying – even if it’s celebrities that are the victims. No one is immune. Some of the things people say on Twitter are so incredibly rude, not funny, and most of the time plain unnecessary that they deserve to get called on it.
On a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kimmel had celebrities read out their favorite awful tweets from haters on Twitter. All of the celebrities above (with the exception of Kimmel himself) read a tweet or two aloud. They even show the actual Twitter handles of the people who wrote the tweets – love it.
To give you an example, for Kathy Griffin, someone wrote: “It’s people like Kathy Griffin who are the root cases for why red heads are perceived as the spawn of satan.” Watch the video below to find out what was said about all the rest of them and how they react to it.

Calling all Rihanna fans. If you follow Rihanna on Twitter, then you may have heard her call out yesterday to her Navy, asking them which track from her 2011 release, Talk The Talk, should be her third single. Here was what she tweeted:
I need answers!!!! #NEXTSINGLE #TTT
Some might be quick to say that Birthday Cake could be on the list of potential suiters as she promised (also via Twitter) that a full version of the dirtier than dirt track would be a number one priority for 2012. But what about some of the other amazing tracks from the record?
I have been listening to the album non-stop and have compiled my own list of which tracks I think Rihanna should release as single #3. Check them out below.
Check out which 5 songs I think could be her next single after the jump.

Adam Lambert fans, get ready for some exciting news from the man himself. This afternoon via his personal Twitter account, Adam gave us the title of his upcoming album. Here is what he tweeted:
My album is called TRESPASSING -dropping Spring 2012
Adam also tweeted the name of his first single would be called Better Than I Know Myself. While that isn’t a lot of information, it’s pretty exciting considering we haven’t experienced any new music from Glambert since 2009. We know that the song “Outlaws of Love” will be on the disc which he performed a stripped down version of in July at the Ste Agathe en Feux Festival. You can check out the performance below.

Two former teen network stars are teaming up on the Twitterverse to combat a little cyberbullying against themselves. Someone who has been pretty under fire for her weight (aside from Christian Aguilera) is Miley Cyrus. The 18-year-old decided to let them bullies have it and when on a little bit of a Twitter rant just to let us know how she felt about it.
“By calling girls like me fat, this is what you’re doing to other people. I love MYSELF & if you could say the same you wouldn’t be sitting on your computer trying to hurt others.”
Accompanying this tweet was a photo of a woman clearly suffering from anorexia . She followed that tweet up by saying, “Proof that you can be adored by thousands of men even when your thighs touch,” and posted a picture of Marilyn Monroe. Of course, she wasn’t alone in these feelings as her friend and colleague Demi Lovato came to her agreement via Twitter.

At the end of October, I was fortunate enough to play Baby John in a production of West Side Story. In one of the scenes, I got to leaf through an old Superman comic book. What was really fun about that was looking at all the old advertisements from the 50′s. I was so fascinated by what at the time were major technological advances or the latest and greatest toys to have. Nothing like that good old days. So, when I saw these ads via a friend on Twitter today, I couldn’t help but be enthralled by them and wanted to share them with you.
Thanks to a website called Design Modo, they have collected a bunch of vintage ads that definitely has something different about them: they are advertising modern technologies. Think about it. It’s one of the most popular movements in fashion so why not bring it into advertising. You pair something old (or vintage) with something new to create a whole new look or perspective. That’s exactly what these ads of done. And, they are eye catching and clever to boot.
Above is this clever ad for Facebook which shows us that classic look of a 60′s mod ad with the modern edge of Facebook inserted into that world. I think it’s amazing! Check out some more of the clever advertisements below.
I’ll begin by saying that I’m just as sick of this Kardashian story as you guys are. But just like watching a car crash, I can’t seem to turn away.
While scanning my Twitter feed, I noticed that Kim Kardashian posted a link. Just a link. There was no comment accompanying it – so of course, I was intrigued. I ran my mouse over the link and saw that it would direct me to Kim’s website and to an article entitled “A Message To My Fans”.
Earlier today, I began to think about the Kardashian family and how they’ve become such a pop-culture phenomenon. I then started to resent the family, as a whole when thinking about the possibility of Kim’s marriage being a big publicity stunt. Well, call me gullible if you’d like because after reading Kim’s message – I totally believe her.
I believe that Kim really was in love with Kris Humphries and it simply didn’t work out. I think it’s sad that the majority of the world knew that her marriage would fail before she was willing to admit it herself. Read the message below and decide for yourself.

No, it’s not what you think. This isn’t a jab at Christina Aguilera’s fluctuating weight. Seriously though, girlfriend needs to learn some portion control. Just ask Kelly Osbourne who recently called her a “fat bitch” and commented that she was “never as fat” as Xtina. Ohhhh, Kelly. Got to love her for being as brash as ever. But enough about Christina’s waistline. For Season 2 of “The Voice“, the producers are bringing in another Christina to the cast. Here’s a hint. She’s a singer also. See if you can guess who based on the following statement:
“Christina’s extensive musical background and widespread recognition make her the perfect choice for the role of Social Media Correspondent on The Voice,” Paul Telegdy, NBC’s Alternative and Late Night Programming President, said in a statement. ”Her experience as a singer will provide a comfort level to our artists when they speak to her about the ins and outs of the competition. She is a hugely valuable addition as we prepare for another spectacular season.”
Figure it out yet? Here’s your last clue. This 30-year-old singer recently divorced her rapper ex-husband. Keep reading to find out.
