Video Premiere: Vampire Weekend's "Cousins"

The new video from Vampire Weekend is out today. Watch "Cousins" above!

It may give you motion sickness. And you might end up with confetti in your mouth. But it's fun to watch. And short! Just over 2 minutes!

VW's big full-on new CD, Contra, isn't out until January 12th. So maybe this'll help til then?

P.S. Does your own personal vampire weekend start tonight at midnight when New Moon premieres? Just asking...

Video Premiere: Beyoncé feat. Lady Gaga – “Video Phone” Whaddya Think??!!?

FIERCE!??

The gloriously overblown video for the Beyoncé and Lady Gaga collab “Video Phone (Extended Remix)” is finally here! It starts off with a Reservoir Dogs influenced teaser, where Beyoncé looks a tad bit like another superstar singer we might know of, and segues into Beyoncé prancing around in a futuristic two-piece and acting like some sort of ultramodern, robotic dominatrix as she’s surrounded by hard-bodied men with blue masks on…yeah, it’s strange, but coming from director Hype Williams, it’s to be expected.

Lady Gaga joins the proceedings halfway to have a dance-off for the ages against Beyoncé (both wearing the same sexy white outfit. And it’s a tie, in my book). And Beyoncé sporting a white Tee with a G-d up alien on the front towards the end of the vid is icing on the cake.

So what do you guys think? Is it too much? Not enough? I personally feel we needed more Gaga in the mix (it’s technically Beyoncé’s video, but still).

Below is the video, in its entirety:

Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" Video: A Bath Haus, Polar Bears & Burning Beds

Well, now we know what really happened to that polar bear from Lost.

Lady Gaga's new video for "Bad Romance" premiered today online. And children, it's insane. Even for Lady Gaga standards.

While the song itself may not be thrilling, the video makes it so. It's creepy, bonkers, lavish, bizarre, gorgeous and full of 9,924 costume changes and more f**ked-up outfits than ever. And yes, Gaga has some weird spinal spokes in her back, scary-big eyes, and she serves up an homage to Farrah Fawcett's Burning Bed by the video's end.

Watch it above. Then watch it again. It's not until about halfway through that you realize there's some real genius ludicrous-ness going on. And when you watch it again it just gets better...

After the jump, lots of stills and commentary.

Lights' Uber-Foxy "Fire Night" Video: Glitter, Candles, Makeup & Halloween Fierceness. Watch!

Almost Halloween!!!! I'm already regretting all the candy I'm gonna snarf, but it's no more decadent than this gloriously sparkling and ripely righteous video for the new single "Fire Night" by Brooklyn's electro-disco hellions Lights. (And bonus: It was directed by my Logo work colleague Lauryn Siegel.) It's sick!

As NYMag.com puts it: "You could die high and go to Halloween heaven and it wouldn’t equal" the amazingness here. Glitter, bitchin' makeup, pouty rock girls, murky pretty liquids slithering around and stuff burning... It's really all you need.

Well, that about 40 snack-size Almond Joys.

Watch P!nk's New Video: "I Don't Believe You" Gorgeous! Moody! Wedding Gowns!

I Don't Believe You

Pink | MySpace Music Videos

This new video for "I Don't Believe You" is some gorgeous stuff, courtesy of everyone's favorite butch/femme/amazing pop star P!nk and her Funhouse album. I'm so loving her. And I'm mildly obsessed with Pink's Twitter feed these days, @Pink. She's constantly gabbing back and forth with Sandra Bernhard (who's a big fan), and sending trippy/twisted updates from her world tour.

Last night @SandraBernhard tweeted to Pink: "Where are you now Gypsy Woman? Right behind Cher and Stevie Nicks you are our heir apparent to the gypsy crown. Wagons moving out!"

Tell it, Sandy. Yee-haw!

Watch Weezer's New Video: "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To"

"Welcome to Weezerville" indeed. Rivers Cuomo and the Weezer boys are back, and they must be working with a serious budget because this new video looks pretty luxe, and their sound is polished and glossier than ever!

The video for the first jangly single "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" is pretty sharp. Beware of femme fatales who bring a plague of Final Destination-ish carnage in their wake. See, I knew girls were nothing but trouble!

You like the song? Is it weird that it sounds bit teeny-boppery to me? Have the guys been listening to All-American Rejects? And the new album Raditude (coming soon; November 3rd) will also feature guest stints from Lil' Wayne, Jermaine Dupri and some fierce Indian musicians. Sounds like it's gonna be kooky.

Get lots more behind-the-scenes stuff on the video and interviews with Cuomo and the band over at Babelgum.

And since I can never resist this kind of stuff: Here's Weezer doing a random mash-up cover of "Kids/Poker Face." Just 'cuz!

Adam Lambert's "Time for Miracles" Video Premieres! Watch It! Then, Run for Your Lives!!!

Time For Miracles

Adam Lambert | MySpace Music Videos

I think this video just made me cry. Or explode. Or die in a tsunami. Watch the big insane apocalyptic schmaltzy brilliance that is Adam Lambert's "Time for Miracles" video (which premiered on MySpace this morning). His voice makes freeways crumble, flameballs fall from the sky, buildings topple and tidal waves ravage the earth. Woo-hoo! Attagrrrrl!

Okay, maybe that's all just cheezy CGI footage from the forthcoming disaster flick 2012, but it's amazing. Mr. Lambert acts his pants off (only figuratively kids) and wails like a softer, younger, Steven Tyler (but less screechy; and sounding a little Richard Marx-y, frankly). And wears a serious black helmet of hair. And he's sooty. Anybody got a Wet-Nap?

And yes, I'll imagine Lambert is singing to me. If the world is ending, I want a power ballad to distract me please.

Tween Idol Mika's New "Rain" Video Premieres Online! Plus, His "Poker Face" Cover!

Mika: Sweet as candy and beloved by kids just as much.

I had the good fortune of catching Mika in concert in NYC on Friday night. Yee-haw, that lanky Lebanese-born pop-star puts on a good show! Marionettes, giant inflatable balls, day-glo outfits, zingy pop music and a house-full of screaming gays and 13-year-old girls.

Did you know Mika had such a crrrraazzy rabid tween fan-base? Seriously, it seemed like over half the crowd was comprised of 7th-grade girls, their bffs, and their parents. It certainly made for an enthusiastic crowd! They sang along (loudly!), screamed, danced in the aisles and gushed effusively. (Ok, so did the gays, too.)

Below, check out the spooky/sassy video for "Rain" which hit the 'net today! And the "Rain" CD single (out Nov. 23rd) will feature "Rain" remixes and a Mika cover of "Poker Face," which is pretty hot. He did it for a BBC Radio1 Live Lounge show.

And in case you missed it, below is a somewhat grainy clip of the "Blame It On the Girls" video which popped up online recently, too. CUTE!

Taylor Swift's New Video "Fifteen"; Watch It Now! Plus a Taylor Swift Special!

Taylor Swift is taking us back to school in her newest, "Fifteen." Aaaaargh! How does she came up with these insanely catchy, melodic, sappy/amazing songs??? The moment I heard "Love Story" and "You Belong With Me" they were ingrained in my head forever...

"Fifteen" doesn't deliver the same romantic sucker punch... Or does it? I can't tell, but I sort of love it already. Damn you, Taylor! You get me everytime. I. Am. So. Weak.

Not sure about all the crazy CGI blustery leaves and rain swirling around Taylor in this video, though. A bit much?

CMT has serious Taylor Swift mania going on today; it includes a 90-minute all-Taylor special, an online 15-minute special, tour news, and all kinds of Swifty stuff.

Watch Gay Israeli Pop Hottie Yehonathan's Video "My Turn." Steamy! You Like?

My Turn from Yehonathan on Vimeo.

Logo's NewNowNext PopLab has a special episode airing tonight at 7pm, with footage from a festive show at Six Flags in San Francisco featuring the Paradiso Girls and LMFAO. But if you want some full-on gay music video hotness, watch the latest TV-premiere from gay Israeli pop-star Yehonathan above. It's his single "My Turn" and the tune is a reliable thumpy, catchy dancefloor steamer.

The "My Turn" video is kinda corny maybe, but I don't mind watching cute Yeho chasing after a boy on the dancefloor and getting into some kind of gropey man-scuffle. FUN!

Also on PopLab tonight, you'll get new videos from Swedish pop-star-to-be Agnes and a hot new disco spiritual from the always sublime Calvin Harris, "Ready for the Weekend."

Yes, gay-tastic pop music is alive and well...

Swedish Pop Idol Agnes Has Arrived! Watch Her "Release Me" Video & Its Gay Shout-Out!

Sweden's new import, Agnes. Think she likes lingonberries?

Hey gays! Meet Agnes, the youngest winner ever (at 17) of Sweden's Pop Idol tv reality competition. She's been storming up charts globally with her first big tune "Release Me" and now she's aiming to arrive and spice up the pop scene here in the U.S. Can you handle another Swedish import?

First of all, like any good Idol-esque TV winner, Agnes (full name: Agnes Carlsson) is way more along the pop vein of Leona Lewis than edgy (like fellow Swede Robyn). Her soon-to-be-released album Dance Love Pop (which kinda says it all) will contain her hits "On and On" and "Love Love Love" which topped the charts in Sweden. Can she conquer the US? We'll see...

One thing she's on top of already: Getting friendly with the gays! Watch her sassy "Release Me" video below, with its own special little shout-out to the gays reading NewNowNext.com. Nice, right?

And keep your eyes open for more lovely Agnes-ness coming your way soon.

Celebs Cover "Beds Are Burning" for Climate Change! It's Euro-Tastic! Have a Look!

Beds Are Burning (Tck Tck Tck: Time For Climate Justice) from The Hours on Vimeo.

Remember the Midnight Oil classic "Beds Are Burning"??? It's back, kiddies! And this time around a whole slew of global celeb types (Lily Allen, Fergie, Mark Ronson, Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard, Milla Jovovich, Bob Geldof, Duran Duran's Simon LeBon, Youssou N’Dour, Jamie Cullum, Nobel Peace Prize Winner Kofi Annan and bunches more internationally famous folks you may or may not know) have covered the tune as part of this big initiative and global music petition to raise awareness about climate change.

You can watch the video above, and get the full story at TimeForClimateJustice.org and at TckTckTck.org. The goal is to raise awareness and get a zillion folks on board the petition so that real progress can be made at this big U.N. Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen on December 7th. When you download "Beds Are Burning" for free, you sign the petition and add your voice to the cause.

These are some of the celebs whose "Beds Are Burning." Ouch! And who knew Milla Jovovich could sing? HOT.

The Gossip's "Music for Men" Shows You Its Big Gay Muscles! Fun Video!

The Gossip's latest album, the scorchingly hot Music for Men officially comes out in the U.S. next Tuesday (Oct. 6th). As if the band, led by out frontwoman and international icon of amazingness Beth Ditto weren't gay enough, they created the above promo to help arouse, er... interest in the record.

God, could I love this band more???? Like they say, "they know what a man needs..." This sweaty, pink, throbbing, dirty-fingernailed promo is my favorite thing ever. And to be even more universally homo-tastic, they recorded versions in French, Spanish, Japanese and German, too.

Why does the German one sound extra-dirty? And the Japanese one is just brilliant. And yes, if you think the little chipmunky chuckling at the end seems freaky, you're not alone. I love it -- and it scares me! All good things...

Beth and the band are touring all over the U.S. starting Wednesday, October 7th in D.C. Go, go, go, go, go, go see them.

These sweaty sluts wanna pump you up, Gossip-style!

Whitney Houston's "Million Dollar Bill" Video; Watch It Now! Is Your Dry Cleaners Like This?

Mizz Whitney Houston debuted her video for the official first single from I Look to You last evening. The result is a lovely, honey-colored video for the Alicia-Keys-penned "Million Dollar Bill" wherein she looks great onstage in various hot gowns as a random crowd of pretty 20-somethings lounge and dance around a posh/cool backroom club (that's apparently tucked secretly behind a dry cleaners/speakeasy restaurant that serves raw veggies? Okkaaaaay...).

Is it revolutionary? Nope. Shockingly fierce? Nuh-uh. But is it pretty and nice and just one more affirming small step back to pop normalcy? Yes, it is. Is that enough to maintain public interest? We'll see...

Either way, nice work Whit-Whit (and Clive), and to whomever art-directed this pleasant clip. Now bring on a c*nty remix, please!

Watch A Sneak Peek Of Muse's New Video "Uprising" And Prepare Yourself For The Resistance!

-- By Arielle Baer

Muse's new album The Resistance may not be hitting stores until tomorrow (pre-order it here), but you can get an exclusive look at the video for the first single, "Uprising," right now!

It's hard to figure out exactly what's going on here. (The boys are escaping some kind of miniature city on fire? Sure!) So make sure to tune in for the World Premiere this Thursday on Logo so you can watch the whole thing.

The band is also touring the states this Fall with U2 and I highly recommend getting yourself some tickets. I saw them at Madison Square Garden a few years ago and it's still one of the best live shows I ever experienced!

Livvi Franc's Video for "Now I'm That Bitch" Premiering This Wednesday on PopLab! Check Out Images from the Video Here!

I'm not sure what's going on with the ribbons, but it looks fierce!

Exciting news! New artist and diva in the making Livvy Franc's music video for her debut single "Now I'm That Bitch" is set to premiere this Wednesday, August 5th on Logo's PopLab at 12am-midnight EST! The English/Barbadian singer is super fierce, and her new music looks like it's going to be good. Check out some stills from her music video at her website. It looks crazy intense!

Make sure to also have a listen to the Sam Sparro remix of her debut single. It's after the jump! And it's so damn good! PLUS -- hot pics from the video!!!

This Week in Fabulous 7/31: She-Wolves, Half-Naked Men, and Excessive Plastic Surgery!

HBICs Joan Rivers and Kathy Griffin don't mess around. Plastic surgery is serious business to these ladies.

-- By Cory Stottlemyer

It's time for this weeks edition of "This Week In Fabulous!" There's lots of famous bitches in this post, so prepare yourself for some diva attitude. Plus it's my birthday, so this post is extra special!

5. Shakira's "She Wolf" music video premiere!

Cage dancing has never been so fierce!

Shakira is back! The music video for her single "She Wolf" is here, and I'm glad to say that her dancing is still as hot and sexy as ever. You can check out a short "making of" for the video here.

Watch the real deal premiere below!

Mika Strips Down in His New Video for "We Are Golden"

He may be skinny, but the falsetto-loving singer has got a nice set of abs. Who knew?

Mika has chosen to bare it all in his newest music video for the title track from his forthcoming album, "We Are Golden!" Ok, he doesn't strip down completely, but he does goof off and jump around a bunch in his lil' shorts. How scandalous of him! The video takes place in a bedroom that just screams of the vibrant and artsy Mika style -- or of a very precocious drama student of indeterminate sexuality (ahem). Head on over to Perez's big pink mess to watch Mika prancing nearly naked in his new video!

Britney Spears Gets Animated for "Kill the Lights!" Watch It Here!

Well, this is interesting. Just like she did for Break the Ice, Britney Spears has released an animated video for her latest music video and I have to admit I'm a little disappointed. Kill the Lights is one of my favorite songs off her latest CD, and I would have loved to see her dancing up a storm in a video for this song. I guess her dancing skills aren't the greatest anymore, and the fact that she has chosen not to dance in this video or the one for Radar doesn't help her fight that assumption. Hopefully this means she'll be releasing this song as a single.

Watch Kelly Clarkson Glam It Up In New "Already Gone" Music Video!

Kelly Clarkson looks stunning in the new video for her next single, "Already Gone." Seriously, girl is all glammed up in this video and I'm loving it. The song sounds a lot like Beyonce's "Halo" (especially the intro), but I find Clarkson's song better and much less annoying. Check out Clarkson all dolled up in the music video above!

Kid Cudi, Kanye and Common Team Up for "Make Her Say"

Kid Cudi |MTV Music

Day and Night singer Kid Cudi recently debuted the music video for his song "Make Her Say" which features Kanye West and Common as well. The song samples an acoustic version of Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" with quite the raunchy result (though I doubt Lady Gaga has any problem with that). The video is pretty simple and kind of boring, but the split screen makes it interesting. I also find Common incredibly attractive, so his part makes it worth a watch alone. The song is definitely worth a listen, so check it out!

Mariah Carey is "Obsessed"...With Herself (Duh)

Check it out, ladies and gentlemen! Mariah Carey has finally released the music video for her song Obsessed, and it's just as weird as I thought it would be. We showed you pictures of Carey on set a while back dressed up in an Eminem type outfit (come on...we all know she's supposed to be him...you're fooling nobody Mimi). Well, check out the video to see her drag self in action. Seriously, what do you think of that goatee she is sporting? Mariah, I have no doubt you'd make a hot dude, but that attempt at facial hair is killing me.

The video is quite hilarious, and I'm slowly warming up to the song (it's been stuck in my head for DAYS). I especially love the Mean Girls-esque ending to the video.

Britney's New Video Pops Up on Our "Radar"

Britney Spears has finally come out with her latest video for her next single, "Radar", and I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed. Sure, she looks good, the video is ok, and it has two really hot guys in it, but it's just kind of... meh. In the video, Brit classes it up as the object of affection of a rich stud, but she really has her eye on the hot stableman (don't we all). I guess I prefer the Womanizer type videos where Britney is decked out in hoochie gear, grinding and dancing up a storm.

The video is still worth a watch because, come on, it's Britney Spears. I still love her. At least she's "sane" now and not running around setting things on fire or anything crazy. For now.

Cobra Starship Makes Leighton Meester "...Go Bad"

Cobra Starship |MTV Music

Take a little punk pop, add some synthpop and alternative dance, and you end up with Cobra Starship's newest single Good Girls Go Bad. With help from Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester (sidebar...who knew she could sing?), the band sings about, what else, turning good girls into naughty ones.

Check out the video as Leighton plays a bad girl who pulls one over on the boys. She's apparently also following in the footsteps of the many other actresses turned pop stars (Lindsay Lohan, Scarlett Johansson, and Miley Cyrus, I'm looking at you) and coming out with an album sometime in the future. They definitely picked the best girl to play bad, what with Leighton recently becoming the star of her very own sex tape. Bad girl antics aside, the song is really catchy, perfect for the summer, and she actually has a decent voice. Check it out!

Kanye West Releases Artsy New Video for "Street Lights"

Kanye West continues on his kick of making music that's "art" by creating a new video for his song Street Lights. The song, which is my personal favorite off of his latest album 808s & Heartbreak, won't be released as a single, but Kanye went ahead and still made a video for it. What? You gonna argue with him? Good luck...

The video reminds me of those old-school virtual reality programs. Though it's not that exciting (it just shows a computer animated Kanye driving a car through a very futuristic-looking world), I still like it a lot. It fits the mellow and "artsy" feel of the song.

Jason Mraz Gets "Lucky" Again, in Spanish with Ximena Sariñana

Jason Mraz - New Music - More Music Videos

Jason Mraz is back with another version of his hit duet "Lucky." But this time around, Colbie Caillat must be taking a siesta, because now half the song is performed in Spanish thanks to the lovely Mexican actress/singer Ximena Sariñana.

Looks like they just spliced in Ximena's bits into the video and song that Jason had already whipped up with Ms. Caillat. It's a little weird, but the results are sweet. I mean, "dulce."Want a little more about Ximena? She's 24, lives in Mexico City, and her MySpace has some very charming tunes, including a nice strummy English ditty "Influenza Sh*t Love Song," which is kind of what happens with a sad love song gets food poisoning.

Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" Video

I know this one's been swirling around the 'net for a week or so, but it's so gorgeous I still had to toss up this video of Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi." It's epic, at almost 8 minutes long! Plus, she's romanced/played for a sucka by True Blood's sharp-toothed stud Eric (Alexander Skarsgard), who's looking very fang-bang-able.

The glamorous mansion! The hot Malibu/Riviera/Capri-esque locale! Gaga's painted-on hosiery! The wheelchair? I'm reeling. Some serious money was spent on this one.

Of the "Paparazzi" video, Gaga told The Canadian Press: "It has a real, genuine, powerful message about fame-whoring and death and the demise of the celebrity, and what that does to young people. The video explores ideas about sort of hyperbolic situations that people will go to in order to be famous. Most specifically, pornography and murder." Ooooh... Deep. Ish?

IS Gaga really the new Madonna? A case is being made.

New video for Kelly Rowland and DJ David Guetta's "When Love Takes Over"

Kelly Rowland has teamed up with DJ David Guetta to produce this summer's hot new dance track.

Kelly Rowland has once again tried to step out of Beyonce's shadow (and honestly, out of Isaac Mizrahi's shadow on Bravo's Fashion Show too) and has joined forces with dance music veteran DJ David Guetta to make the new dance hit "When Love Takes Over." The two have produced what is sure to be the club anthem of summer '09 thanks in part to Kelly's big vocals, the sure fire pop melody, and infectious beats that make dancing to it irresistable.

I personally have been playing the song all day and will most likely have it stuck it in my head all weekend, which I am perfectly fine with. Kelly should start working on a dance album ASAP and have a club tour booked right after that, because I think she's finally found her music niche.

"Laughing With" Regina Spektor - Her New Video!

Laughing With

I love Regina Spektor. Her music is gorgeous, smart, lyrical and poignant -- and always has a daffy sort of quirkiness to it. She's like Tori Amos meets that chick from "Happy Go Lucky" -- which is a good thing.

Her new video for the first single from her new album is out. The tune is "Laughing With" and it's a mix of dire drama and sing-song optimism. And it's all about God, but in a sweetly personal, sort of goofy way. Maybe it's the sequel to the Joan Osborne classic "One of Us?"

I also love Regina because her tune "Fidelity" was used in those amazing gay-marriage/fight Prop 8 videos out earlier this year from Courage Campaign, which were inspiring and made me cry. Watch it and some other video goodness, after the jump.

Regina's new album "Far" comes out on June 23rd. Maybe it can be your rainy day/Pride soundtrack?

Watch the "Laughing With" video, as well as new stuff from Peter Bjorn & John, M83, Howling Bells, La Roux and more on Logo's NewNowNext Music this Sunday night

Finally, MGMT's Official Video for "Kids"

Kids

At least they can't say we rushed them... The lads at MGMT have finally released an official video for their landmark, super-awesome, always-makes-me-dance-like-a-happy-dweeb song "Kids." And it's creepy! Monsters! A crying toddler! Aloof moms!

But just when it gets a bit much, it turns into a bit of deliriously arty and nice animation. The band assures us on their site that no babies were harmed in the making of this video. But maybe some toddler psyches were damaged?

Have a look, then check out MGMT's site for more backstory, including how Mark Twain influenced them and how this whole "Kids" thing was born.

Just Kait's "U Suck" Video!

Just Kait - New Music - More Music Videos

Just Kait is 17-year-old Kaitlyn DiBenedetto and her rockin' little ditty "U Suck" is perking up eardrums all over. How can you not like a smart-ass grrrl with a guitar and some punky attitude?

The cool kids at Buzzworthy blog pounced on this one. And check out Just Kait's MySpace for more stuff, too.

Is Just Kait the anti-Miley we've been waiting for? Wait and see, folks...

Grrrrr. I mean, "Hi!"

RuPaul's "Jealous of My Boogie" Video - Starring ChiChi LaRue!

Gay music and video from NewNowNext.com

RuPaul asked Hollywood's other big drag queen, porn empress Chi Chi LaRue to star in the official video for Ru's new single "Jealous of My Boogie." And Ms. LaRue does make a fun villainess, who apparently does boast a bit of Ru envy.

Here's a cute pic of the two on set. Ru's as stylish as ever in his dapper man-drag.

Well done, gals.

Amanda Lepore's "Cotton Candy" Video: Beyond Amazing & Wonderfully Pink

Gay music and video from NewNowNext.com

I've always loved, loved, looooved Amanda Lepore. And her latest video for "Cotton Candy" only makes me worship her more. It's truly the most fun, most glamorous, most stylish, gayest, and most searingly delightful thing I've sing this year!

The 1950s/60s romantic comedy Doris Day/Mamie Van Doren movie-poster styling of the entire thing is genius, and fits Amanda's deliriously femme fabulousness perfectly. And I'm even smitten by Cazwell as a dark-haired, goofily cute, Clark-Kent-ish romeo. Adorable! (I was hoping for a little Cazwell-tastic rap break in the middle there, somewhere. But you can't have everything, I guess.)

Also, the song is a total, toe-tapping, twist-inducing treat!

Basically, it's all the summer sunshine you need. Mwah!

Bisexual Lady Gaga's "LoveGame" Video: Sexiest Commute Ever!??

Gay music and video from NewNowNext.com

Everyone's favorite new bisexual, Lady Gaga has a new video for her single "LoveGame." And I have a few things to say about it...

1. Okay, this is next single? This is supposed to be my summer song? I'm not convinced. But then again, Gaga's tunes always sneak up on me after the 100th listen, and then they get insinuated in your brain and you can't get enough, and then someone hands you a shot of tequila and then... So. We'll see...

2. Those are so NOT New York subway cars she's riding and dancing in. Busted! But who cares! She's got the hottest commute ever! A subway full of ridiculously cut gay studlets dancing. All aboard, please!

3. She gets it on with a hot cop in a parking garage booth. Now, I'm really jealous...

More Gaga bits after the jump, kids.

New Hot Artist & Single: Livvi Franc & "Now I'm That B*tch"

More Gay & Lesbian Video At LogoOnline.com

Livvi Franc hails from the Barbados, and is collaborating with some of the producers and starmakers who've given us Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Leona Lewis and Lily Allen on her first upcoming album, coming later this year. But for now, just check out this juicy footage (above) from some recent fierce photo shoots, all set to her first single in the U.S. (on iTunes June 6th), "Now I'm That Bitch."

And by "bitch" Livvi means someone who's "Being In Total Control of Herself." See!? It's a positive term. Nice, right? This could be a breakout song of the summer, possibly maybe!

You'll see Livvi onstage on Logo's NewNowNext Awards (watch here or on-air on June 13th), and after the jump, check out her hot look when she rocked the runway. Ouch!!!

Is "Empire of the Sun" the Best New International Crossover Band?

Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream

The Aussie duo Empire of the Sun is up for an ArjanWrites "Best International Crossover" Award as part of this year's lovely NewNowNext Awards. One big reason why is the tune above, "Walking on a Dream," which I hear constantly at my gym. You gotta figure if your song gets played at gyms all over the world, that's kinda huge!

Over at ArjanWrites.com, you can get a super-special download of the a remix of "Walking on a Dream." (That Arjan is sooo nice!) But it's hard to match the sheer crazy over-the-top color of the video. Makeup! Feathers! Japan!

After the jump, the video for Empire of the Sun's "We Are the People" which takes their costumes, eyeliner and crunchy glam to the U.S. Southwest. As dressed up as they wanna get, they're really just nature boys at heart.

Paulina Rubio's New "Causa y Efecto" Video!

Gay music and video from NewNowNext.com

Latina pop megastar Paulina Rubio is still somewhat unknown to mainstream Americans. But that's a shame. The big-haired, saucy, crazy, tarty diva is a genius when it comes to catchy pop, skranky outfits and shameless fun.

MTV Tr3s' Blogamole blog (best blog name ever) had the exClusive premiere this morning of her latest single, and I'm tres thankful. The tune is "Causa y Efecto" and in the video, La Rubio looks like a cross between Portia de Rossi/Carmen Electra and Lady Gaga. Better yet, she's into roller derby, and fancies wearing a dangerous-looking glitterball-face-mask, all the while romancing a cute skinny lad who she could probably snap in half like the feeble twig he is. Then just when you think it can't get sillier, she whips out a pony! Fantastico!

But the song is mucho sweet! Brava, Paulina!

After the jump, I've posted what may be one of the sweatiest, most shameless videos ever, courtesy of the potent Paulina! Get ready to get "Sexual"...

Katy Perry's New "Waking Up in Vegas" Video

Katy Perry - New Music - More Music Videos

Katy Perry's latest (which is the fourth single, from One of the Boys which has been charting now for nearly a year -- oy!) is out, and it's a glossy celebration of excess, Vegas, feathers, poker chips, Elvis, casinos and the unnecessary stuff Lady Katy is known for. And it's great fun to watch!

Katy is currently up for a NewNowNext Award, having been nominated by Trent at Pink Is the New Blog for his own "You're Ruining Pop Culture" award. Is that a bit too strong? Who cares? I think Katy would actually appreciate the plug!

Besides, Katy is presently traipsing around the world with her "Hello Katy" tour (she's hitting the big Life Ball in Vienna next week) so I think she's gonna be just fine...

Ka-ching!

Little Boots "New in Town" - Is She the "Best International Crossover" Artist?

Little Boots - New In Town

Little Boots is nominated for the ArjanWrites.com Best International Crossover Award at the upcoming 2009 NewNowNext Awards (on Logo, June 13, 9pm ET). Arjan posted her new video for her tune "New in Town" yesterday. Have a look at it above!

At first glance, watching a clip of "homeless" people dancing around Thriller-style seems a bit dubious. Still, I think Boots is somehow mocking the ridiculous artiface of music videos and showbiz (and I do love her little shiny blue dress and bangly gold jewelry). Her tour through dodgy L.A. continues, and it's a twisted, cheeky trip. Plus, the song is hot!

Vote for whichever global artiste you think is gonna make the next big splash, while you're at it. And check out all the other killer new music ArjanWrites has to offer, too.

New David Cook Video - "Come Back to Me"

Gay music and video from NewNowNext.com

David, you had me at "Come."

Meaning, who'd ever leave nice David Cook???? Check out "Come Back to Me" from our American Idol-winning pal. It's all backwards-y, like Coldplay's "The Scientist."

David must be happy about the recent gay marriage progress made in Vermont and Iowa, since he told us last year he was a big opponent of Prop 8 in California.

Two things though: Davey needs to tidy up that goatee. It's a bit mangey. And how the hell did that taxi appear in the middle of the woods?

The Virgins - "One Week of Danger" Video

Gay music and video from NewNowNext.com

I'm not saying you should have a risky or unsafe week ahead, but here's wishing you "One Week of Danger" courtesy of the rattily cuter-than-anything NYC band The Virgins.

I've blathered on and on about how I love crooked-toothed lead-singer/model-boy (and possible homewrecker?) Donald Cumming and his cohorts before so I'll spare you. We've interviewed the guys here on NNN.com before, and Logo's shown the killer queer thriller, Bugcrush, that he starred in.

So, just enjoy kicking off your week with a skinny lad in a busted T-shirt and jeans. No crime in that right?

Play safe, kids.

Naommon's New Video, "Love Is Struggling"

Gay music and video from NewNowNext.com

Love's not the only thing struggling... I'm struggling to comprehend what's happening in Frenchie Naommon's freaky and kind of fabulous new music video for his tune "Love Is Struggling." It's on tonight's Click List music video countdown show on Logo (that's all I can tell you), and it's very Moulin Rouge meets the Lower East Side meets a Radical Faerie retreat in Edith Piaf's dressing room. Silly hats and f*cked-up facial hair are back!

Pass the absinthe! After watching this, I think I'm feeling Saturday's hangover... And it's only Friday morning! Fantastique.

See 9 million amazing portraits and pics of Naommon at his MySpace page. Someone's tres photogenic. Trust.

Jay Brannan's New Video, "Can't Have It All"

Gay music and video from NewNowNext.com

NYC-based troubadour Jay Brannan's got a new video for you. It's "Can't Have It All" from his recent release goddamned. It' got just what I like about Jay: heartfelt, smart and honestly raw lyrics; sure-handed guitar strumming and simply delicate melodies (and some nice strings, too); and lots of romantic Jay looking out over a dreamy night-time cityscape as the stars play the sweetest game of Pictionary ever.

Could some TV magnate put Jay's tunes into an episode of Gossip Girl so he can become uber-famous already? The guy deserves some attention!

Jay's touring around Europe this spring. His Paris shows are selling like crazy... Frenchie fans better snatch up their tix!

New Lady Sovereign Video - "So Human"

Gay music and video from NewNowNext.com

Lady Sovereign does The Cure!!! Well, sort of. With her new tune "So Human" she snatches Robert Smith & co.'s "Close to You" and lays down her grime on it, and the results are downright spiffy!

I have to admit, in the chorus I kept thinking she's saying "feels so gay" over and over, but she's saying "it's okay." Either one works, of course. Plus, since Sovereign's rocking a slightly femme/butch look in this one, and spending much of the video flirting with a pretty female showbiz reporter and then a sexy lady therapist, I couldn't help but get a serious lesbian vibe. Which I like!!

It's all very Sovereign channeling Pink-meets-M.I.A.-meets-Sporty Spice (yep, she still looks like her). Which works, too!

Anyway... Lady Sovereign's full-on new release, Jigsaw, comes out in the U.S. on April 7th; in the UK on April 13th. This peppy, festive, crunchy "So Human" romp may be my new springtime happy song! Thanks, Lady!

Andy Samberg's "I'm On a Boat!" Ahoy, B*tches! Plus: A Pussycat Doll!

Gay music and video from NewNowNext.com

"F*ck trees! I'm on a mother-f**kin' boat!"

The Lonely Island boys (Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone) came back recently with this awesome video. With special guest T-Pain!

It's premiering on Logo's NewNowNext PopLab music video show tonight, so it seemed worth posting!

Hosting tonight's PopLab is gonna be the Pussycat Dolls' very own Nicole Scherzinger. She's in Slumdog Millionaire drag talking about their big "Jai Ho" video (watch it after the jump). And Nic also discusses gays, Diana Ross, her weakness for food, and how growing up she wanted to be Whitney, Mariah and Cher (um... so far, so good!!!). Watch a little bit after the jump!

Patrick Wolf's Possibly NSFW "Vulture" Video

Patrick Wolf in his "Vulture" video gear.

That nice, waifish, mild-mannered, arty, young, queer/bi British singer (and sometimes-Burberry-model) Patrick Wolf has a dirty new music video!!! It's for his single "Vulture," from his new album, The Bachelor, due on June 1st.

OK, maybe the video's not "dirty" exactly; it's more suggestive. But it does feature Wolf writhing around in leather harness-y gear and little black briefs while being cuffed or gagged or wearing a gasmask-like apparatus. Saucy!

Watch it (and view bits of Wolf's nice bum) after the jump!

Spanking good fun!

New Bat for Lashes Video: "Daniel"

This one's soooo good. It's "Daniel" from Bat for Lashes, and their new album Two Suns, out on April 6th. In the video, Natasha Khan engages in some freaky tussles with black-clad art-ninjas. It's delirious and gorgeous. Sort of like the song!

And how can you not love a tune about the Karate Kid protagonist? (Thanks, Stereogum!)

Britney Says "Happy St. Patrick's Day!" Well, Not Really... But Watch "If You Seek Amy!"

Gay music and video from NewNowNext.com

Begorrah! It's the video for Britney Spears' "If You Seek Amy!" I like, I like, I like. Slutty boys with washboard abs writhing around while Britney prances around a suburban house in her undies. Yes, please! Plus Brit-Brit's hot little preppy housewifey drag at the end is pretty great. And a tweaky little bit of media jokery? Sure... If you insist.

Is it the best Britney video ever? MTV has weighed in. What do you think?

And Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Kind Monitor's "Cairo" Video

Gay music and video from NewNowNext.com

Kind Monitor's video for their tune "Cairo" has played on Logo's NewNowNext Music the past two Sundays, and it's worth a look. The song is a winsomely melodic mystery to me, but I love its softly driving piano and the nostalgic Victrola-esque vocals. And the video? A dramtically shot black and white confection that's simultaneously inscrutable and beautiful and spooky.

Joshua Aaron Guthals leads Kind Monitor, and he and his crew have been earning their stripes performing around NYC and Brooklyn for the past year or two, sharing showbills with the likes of Scott Matthew (Shortbus), indie rapper Louis Logic and the burlesquey singer Lady Rizo. A show at Joe's Pub is coming on March 29th, but check out the Kind Monitor site or MySpace to get a further sampling now. There you'll also hear the world's most heartbreakingly sad rendition of Billy Joel's "Piano Man" imaginable.

Fleet Foxes video for "Mykonos"

Gay music and video from NewNowNext.com

There's about a foot of snow outside on this fine March Monday morning so it seems like a good day to let the intricate strummy rock/choral sounds of Seattle's Fleet Foxes help aid the wake-up process.

Their tune "Mykonos" isn't about gay beaches or sun-bleached coasts or sexy Mediterranean types... But it is a beautiful rock contemplation on friendship and remembrance, in a very CSNY-vibe. And the video is a artful collage of color, motion and crafty paper!

"Mykonos" also premiered on Logo's NewNowNext Music last night. Want more good alty rock/pop videos? Check out this week's playlist.

After the jump, watch Fleet Foxes' gorgeous, supercool-ly animated video for their totally beautiful song "White Winter Hymnal," which is a much more fitting tune for this frosty morning. And don't forget your snowboots today!
