Being Bieber: Go Behind The Scenes Of Justin Bieber’s Valentine’s Day Show

Filed under justin bieber, Videos by on March 12, 2010 at 8:42 am {no comments}

With an insane schedule of album promo — My World 2.0 is out March 23 — sold-out concerts, Tweeting, school, and staying in crisp tees, hoodies, and box-fresh kicks, you'd think Justin Bieber would be a total stress case. When really? No. Dude stays cooler than a block of ice while melting hearts and keeping girls less lonely.

And speaking of hearts, Justin Bieber probably broke every heart at the Hollywood Palladium when he played a swoon-filled Valentine's Day concert. Check out this footage of the characteristically chill Bieber rolling into the Palladium and discussing My World 2.0 before his big show on Valentine's Day. And preorder Justin's new album, My World 2.0, and watch his exclusive QVC QSessions Live performance again tonight at 10/9c on QVC.

Video Sneak Peek: A Day To Remember, ‘I’m Made Of Wax, Larry, What Are You Made Of?’

Filed under Videos by on March 11, 2010 at 5:50 pm {no comments}

Yesterday we got to know the mood-swinging punk rock of A Day To Remember, who are riding high off the success of their album, Homesick. And today? Well feast your eyeballs on this sneak peek of A Day To Remember's upcoming video for "I'm Made Of Wax, Larry, What Are You Made Of?" nabbed from a line in A Night At The Museum.

A bunch of you fine folks jumped on the comments of yesterday's post and begged to see the video a couple days ahead of its March 16th MTV2/ mtvU premiere. While we can't do that (sorry!), we can give you a solid sneak peek.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this one is gonna be tons of fun. Looks like we get a mixture of performance footage (they excel at performing!) and classic hijinx in the form of a kickball game, which they look slightly less ready for. There's also some lingering shots on kickball cheerleaders, which I did not know existed.

So check out the sneak peek video below, and be sure to tune in to MTV2 and MTVu on March 16 for the premiere of A Day To Remember's "I'm Made Of Wax ..." video.

New Video: Broken Bells, ‘The Ghost Inside (Live At The Boat)’

Filed under Videos by on March 11, 2010 at 4:06 pm {no comments}

This just in: A special live performance from Broken Bells, the new project from esteemed producer Danger Mouse and Shins frontman James Mercer.

Broken Bells, whose self-titled debut album is in stores now, can be seen as an extension of the two musicians' previous output; it has the funky, atmospheric feel of Danger Mouse's production and work with Gnarls Barkley, as well the tuneful psychedelic pop of James Mercer's work with The Shins.

We already got spooked by their haunting video for "High Road," but in this live clip, we get to see the full band at work at The Boat -- a recording studio in Silverlake, California, where everyone from Madonna to Cat Power has recorded. Mercer handles guitar and vocal duties, while Danger Mouse moves out from behind the production console and takes a seat at the drum kit. Flanked by a number of sidemen — guitarists, bass, keys — the band make wistful, lush pop, as Mercer sings about a haunted lover.

Check out the live video below. Broken Bells is out now.

New Video: Lil Wayne, Featuring Eminem, ‘Drop The World’

A little while back we dropped the sneak peek at Lil Wayne's "Drop The World." We saw angry young men rioting, saw Weezy flipping the lyric bird to everyone, and Eminem howling at the moon. So we got excited. Well, get your popcorn ready and break out your copy of the Anarchists' Cookbook because it's time to watch the official "Drop The World" video.

If we were to psychoanalyze Wayne, we could say that this Chris Robinson-directed (Alicia Keys' "You Don't Know My Name," T.I. and Justin Timberlake's "Dead And Gone") clip is an accurate reflection of the Young Money leader's inner psyche. That this accurately reflects the turmoil Wayne was feeling as he prepared to begin his one-year jail sentence.

But we went to college for blogging, not head shrinking, so let's keep it real. "Drop The World," taken from Weezy's rock-and-rolling Rebirth, is full of skateboarding, Molotov cocktails, dudes running around and breaking stuff ... pretty much your normal day out at Warped Tour (kidding!).

In the face of all this chaos, Eminem seems pretty placid, sing-song-rapping about having his back against the wall. He is from Detroit after all, maybe none of this phases him (kidding again!).

Check out the video below.

Buzz Bites (3/11/10): Eclipse Trailer Debuts!

Filed under Videos by on March 11, 2010 at 11:05 am {no comments}

+ It's the Eclipse trailer! Taylor, K-Stew, R-Pattz, forbidden love, fangs, etc. The trailer for Twilight Saga: Eclipse is out! You can watch the preview for the David Slade-directed installment of the series above. Eclipse hits theaters on June 3. (MTV News)

+ While you're recovering from multiple viewings of the trailer, may we recommend some other, Kristen Stewart-based entertainment? Watch the young actress talk about her other major upcoming role as Joan Jett in the film The Runaways, co-starring Dakota Fanning. Stewart visited The Tonight Show and talked about how she and Jett share several nervous tics. And if you haven't already, be sure to check out The Runaways music video "Cherry Bomb." (E! Online)

+ Perhaps making a subtle dig at John Mayer, who recently told Playboy about her combustible sexual prowess and her addictive qualities as a lover, Jessica Simpson has done some talking of her own, opening up to David Letterman about her affection for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. The Price Of Beauty star said, "I still look at his cute butt in the outfit — uniform." (PopEater)

+ If you ever wondered what 30 Seconds To Mars' music would look like if it were somehow transformed into articles of clothing, Buzznet is right there with you. They've put together a 30STM wardrobe for you to peruse. (Buzznet)

+ Because these kind of things make us all feel just a little bit better about ourselves, take yourself over to Dlisted and watch a stampede of women bum rush H&M in Paris to get their hands on Sonia Rykiel's collection for the store. Ah, Paris. (Dlisted)

Watch Adam Lambert’s ‘VH1 Unplugged’ Performance!

Filed under Adam Lambert, Videos by on March 10, 2010 at 5:08 pm {no comments}

Adam Lambert's reputation as a fashion icon and flamboyant diva-dude performer on stage and screen continues to grow. I mean, just peep this Flaunt photo spread. Stunner shades!

All that flossing and stunting and saving the world (like he does in his "Time For Miracles" video) aside, it's nice to see him get back to basics — back to what made so many folks fall for him in the first place: simply performing. And WELL.

Here we have two clips from Adam Lambert's recent appearance on VH1 Unplugged. And while he definitely brings a little attitude to the stripped-down proceedings, he really lets his singing voice do the work.

The first clip is a bongo and piano-driven reimagining of "Down The Rabbit Hole," originally featured on the deluxe version of For Your Entertainment. It's decidedly different from the razor-sharp, glam-rock studio take of the song.

The second clip is a nice sit-down with Adam, in which he talks about the challenges of performing his rather elaborately produced music in such an intimate, no-frills environment. And watch more live performances at Unplugged.VH1.com.

What The Frak!? Battlestar Galactica Gets ‘Sabotage’ Video Mash-Up Treatment

Filed under Videos by on March 10, 2010 at 4:39 pm {no comments}

While most Battlestar Galactica nerds out there (myself included) are still a little bit blue over the show's '09 finale, this video is certainly primed to bring a smile to our faces.

Here we have a side-by-side mash-up of Battlestar clips, synced perfectly with the legendary Beastie Boys video, "Sabotage."

That Spike Jonze-directed clip was a send-up of '70s and '80s cop shows and films like T.J. Hooker and The French Connection. And in this context, with "Sabotage's" raw guitars playing and the perfectly timed editing, Battlestar looks a lot like a '70s cop show, just one set in space with tons of Vipers flying around.

The best part of this vid, undoubtedly, is the replication of the freeze-frame nickname shots from "Sabotage." In the Beastie Boys clip, the rappers play actors playing cops, with titles like "Nathan Wind as Cochese" (MCA) and "Vic Colfari as Bobby, 'The Rookie' " (Ad Rock).

The same is done for the Battlestar troupe, to hilarious effect, with characters like Gaius Baltar rechristened as "Loco" and Lee Adama as "Leemo."

BTW, for the sake of being service-y, it's worth mentioning that the Beastie Boy MCA is doing much better in his battle against cancer, and he and the group are getting back to work as they prep their album Hot Sauce for a 2010 release. Applaud that! And that you NEED to get Battlestar Galactica on DVD.
